At the Argent House

Hope drove over to the Argent house, the lights were still on meaning that they were awake. Without fear, she walked over to the front door and knocked on it.

After a few seconds, a man answered the door. From the old looks, Hope could tell that the man was Gerard. Just by how the pack and Ayla described him.

"Can I help you?" The elderly man asked Hope.

"Hi! My name is Maya, and I was just walking past a bakery in the city and I heard that you make some really good treats!" Hope said, lying. She found out from Scott that he had a cookbook and liked cooking so she knew what lies to say.

Gerard looked at her surprised "Really? Who told you that I knew how to cook, Maya?" Gerard asked her.

"Well, I asked them where they got the recipes from and they said that they got it from you. So, I asked where you lived so I can learn more receipts!" Hope says, lying once again. She only knew how to bake from her classes back at Auradon, but that's about it.

"Oh, you know how to cook and bake?" Gerard asked her, it seemed like he kind of already had trusted her.

"Yes, I do! And, I love your receipts. Is there any way that we can have dinner together sometime to talk about them?" She says, one thing good about Hope is that she actually seemed genuine.

Gerard smiled at her "Actually, we're about to have dinner right now. Care to join?" Gerard asked Hope, opening the door wider so that she could enter if she wanted to.

Hope smiled at her "Okay, sure!" Gerard smiled at her and Hope entered the house.

When she entered the house, she saw Chris and Allison. All she did was smile at them, and they smiled back.

Gerard introduced them to Hope, and they all shook her hands. When the food was ready, Hope got up from her chair. "Would you like me to help you bring the food over to the table?" Hope asked Chris who was already getting up to get the food.
Chris looked at Hope "No, Maya. It's okay, I can manage. Thank you, though." Chris told Hope.

Hope smiled at Chris "Of course." She said,

Allison looked at Hope "So, Maya. What school do you go to? I haven't seen you around Beacon Hills high school." Allison said.

Hope turned to Allison "Oh, I actually go to Devenford Prep." Hope said to Allison.

Allison nods her head "Oh, okay." and Hope just gives her a small smile.

After about an hour, dinner was over. Allison and Gerard both went upstairs into their bedrooms while Maya offered to help Chris clean up.

Chris looked at Hope and whispered to her "You're Hope, the girl who showed Ayla around aren't you?" Chris asked Hope.

Hope looked at him "Yes, I am. Ayla sent me here to do something to put Allison back into his right mind." Hope said to Chris.

Chris sighed and then looked back at Hope "Okay, just be careful. Gerard is not one of those people that you can easily fool." Chris said to her.

Hope let out a small laugh "Don't worry, I won't blow my cover. I have my ways." Hope said in a confident tone. While helping Chris, she sees Gerard's cup, the one where he was drinking out of.
