That evening, Phoebe knocked on the door of a large house. Her grandpa opened the door and held it open for her to walk in.

"Phoebe! It's so good to see you." He beamed.

"I came to check in with Demetri and see how you were."

"Well, I am doing very well. The club is booming after having a successful Halloween party. Now we move onto the traditional Christmas one."

"I'm not working Christmas."

Stavros laughed. "Oh, no. No. Neither you or Demetri will be working. He's upstairs in his bedroom."

"Thanks, grandpa." Phoebe ran up the stairs and knocked on her cousin's door. "Demetri?"

"Yeah? Uh...hold on!" After a few minutes, he shouted. "Come in!"

She opened the door to find him casually sitting on his bed with a gaming headset on with a controller in his hands, along with his laptop sitting on the desk open with the beginning of a game. "Dungeon Lord?"

"Uh...no. Different game. You just caught me in the middle of the first level. It's very intense already." He rambled.

"You're playing with the broken arm?" She rose an eyebrow.

"Well, yeah. My hand isn't broken."

"I wanted to see if you were okay, especially after lunch today. I wanted to kill him."

"Being a Cobra I think has made him worse."

"Really? Kyler's always been a dick. Maybe I should get a sharpie and draw a dick on his forehead?"

Demetri chuckled, "That would be funny."

Phoebe tilted her head to see the big dick drawn on the cast and Yasmine's writing. She read what Moon's friend had written and rose an eyebrow at it.

Demetri noticed her expression. "I don't know why she wrote that. Maybe she was being nice?"

Phoebe just nodded while crossing her arms. "Why are you being weird?"

"Weird? I'm not being weird."

"Yeah, you are."

"Because you startled me from paying this game."

"So you admit you're being weird?"

"I'm not being weird. I'm fine. So thank you for checking in on me. Can I play this game now?"

"Yeah, sure. See you later." She left the room.

Unbeknownst to Phoebe, Demetri wasn't alone in his bedroom.

"She's gone. You can come out." He called.

His wardrobe door opened and someone stepped out of it while fixing their hair. "You could have acted less weird."

"I've never done this before. I acted as natural as I could."

The person rolled their eyes at him. "At least she doesn't know. Thank God, it wasn't your grandfather that came in and that Phoebe knocked."

"Yeah, it would be terrible if she didn't." Demetri said sarcastically.

"So...where were we?" The person asked.

The next afternoon, Sam breathed in deeply while doing some kata in the home dojo as her dad walked into the room and saw this.

"I knew you'd be back." Daniel smiled.
