Adam, Bree, Chase, Freya, and Juliet were talking in the common area when the hydraloop opened and Perry walked out with her niece Kerry.

"Oh my gosh," Freya whispered in horror at the sight as Bree and Chase rolled their eyes in annoyance. "That's back."

"Don't worry, I have peas to feed her." Juliet assured them and they nodded.

"Welcome to Perry's Paradise Resort. Don't worry about your bags. One of the robot bellhops will get them." Perry announced, sliding Kerry's suitcase and Adam grabbed it.

"Ah, yeah, suitcase sled! Whoo-hoo!" Adam slides off on suitcase into the training room and Juliet chases after him to make sure he doesn't crash.

Perry walked up to Chase, Freya, and Bree. "You remember my sweet niece Kerry."

Bree crosse her arms. "No, but would your evil niece Kerry like to introduce her to us?"

"She's staying for the weekend. Give her a room with a view. Here you go." Perry hands Chase board game money as Bree, Freya, and Kerry gave each other nasty looks.

Chase frowned. "This is money from a board game."

Perry smiled at him. "And there's plenty more where that came from."

Kerry smiled graciously. "Don't worry, I won't be a bother. You won't even know I'm here. I just wanna spend some quality time with my favorite Auntie Terry." She placed her head on her aunts shoulder.

"I have been accused of being fun. And of identity theft." Perry grinned cheekily.

Chase walked up to Kerry. "You're not fooling us, Kerry. You act all nice until your aunt's gone, and then you go off to trip roller skaters and sell ice packs to the injured."

"For 50 bucks a piece!" Freya added.

My sweet niece would never do that." Perry objected and turned to her niece with a glare. "Everyone knows the roller rink is my turf."

Douglas walks into the room with Leo.

Perry gasped. Dougie!" Douglas leaned back. "Kerry, I'd like you to meet your future uncle, Douglas."

"I've heard all about you. You're the one obsessed with my aunt." Kerry smiled widely, extending her hand to him.

Douglas reluctantly shook her hand. "Yeah. She is a, um, handsome woman."
