"So your Mom is either really changing, or that rehab center has got her on some damn good drugs!" Rory commented as Logan followed her up the stairs to go put away their Christmas gifts.


"Right?! Remind me to call her therapist this week, so I can find out what kind of miracle drug she's on." Logan laughed.


"Did you know that a magical personality drug actually exists?"


"I had no idea, but that stuff needs to be immediately mass marketed because I know A LOT of people who could really benefit from it."


"I completely agree! That woman was pleasant! Not only did she send me a present, but it was actually very nice and thoughtful. THEN, she even offered to help with the nursery while she's having Honor's nursery done. Your mother hates me! That woman we talked to looks like Shira, but do you think she's had a complete brain transplant? Because she's NEVER been nice to me."


"She said that she's proud of me!"


"I know!"

"I want to like this new pleasant Mom, but she kind of terrifies me." Honor told them.


"What does Josh think?" Logan asked.


"He says those are some damn good drugs that they've got her on."


"I said the exact same thing." Rory chuckled.


"I don't understand where this new nice version of Mom came from. I'm wondering if it's just a relaxed California version of the dragon lady. And if it is, maybe we should move her out there permanently. Hell, maybe we'll send Dad there too." Logan told them.


"I think that might be the best idea you've ever had!" Honor agreed. "Whatever miracle drug they've got Mom on, maybe we can get Dad on the same thing. He's just been nasty lately."


"I know! Right after the first heart attack, Dad was actually being semi-pleasant. But now . . ."
