[narrator]

Next Day. Provence Bay

Vanilla, Parfait and Lun are about to go to the boat, but Reuben stops them

Reuben: I'll ask the professionals to catch one, not you ladies
Vanilla: I can do that
Reuben: even though, let's just wait for the catch

so they wait for the catch and while waiting, they go to the beach house to distract David...

Vanilla: David!!!
Parfait,Lun: DAVID!! DAVID!!!

David, who is from inside the house, approaches us

David: What?? I'm packing things you see?
Vanilla: sorry David

David goes back inside the house

Vanilla: packing things?
Lun: Muff told him to go back to Seraphine for his safety. I don't want him to get involved in this princess-maid threat
Parfait: understood. Even my parents, I don't want them to be involved in this situation...hope that the authorities are doing things in order to capture them

and they look at the sea

2 hours later. Let's Eat Starfish

Apricot and Vanilla are cooking octopus balls while Parfait and Lun are watching them. Octopus balls is a Seraphine dish, that's why Vanilla take Parfait's place in cooking.

Apricot: Alright Faye, there's a real octopus meat so that you will not complain or go to that store again
Parfait: I don't get it why that store served an octopus balls that has no octopus at all? *grunts
Lun: good thing you mastered that cooking Vanilla
Vanilla: this is a Seraphine dish and you will need this pan I'm using

then David comes in

Apricot: Oh it's you Mr. Rose, what's with the outfit?
David: I'll go back to Seraphine today. 2pm is the departure time
Apricot: really?
David: Muffin wants me to go back there. She doesn't want me to get involved in this princess-maid thing
Vanilla: If I am Muffin, I will do the same

Vanilla begins to frown and she goes out from the kitchen. David opens his eyes wider as he sees Vanilla wearing a chef outfit with a cute skirt

David: don't tell me that you're wearing both chef's outfit and a costume at the same time

Parfait, Apricot and Lun begin to laugh softly

Vanilla: I am. This is personalize, only me can wear this
David: that's cute and I'm sorry for what I said to you yesterday
Vanilla: it's okay
David: you will not go with me?
Vanilla: I can't, I'm safer here because I'm with the other agents

then they see Muffin and Emmanuel talking. While they're talking, Hero passes by and begin to listen

Emmanuel: you will not talk to me anymore?
Muffin: what are we going to talk about? I already decided, I don't want to go back to the relationship we had before. I'm very sorry Emmanuel

Muffin walks away and Hero looks at Emmanuel

Hero: the girl already decided, don't force her to change her mind, it will hurt her more

Muffin passes by to David

David: going back to zero, cous?
Muffin: if possible, I don't want to see him at all
David (holds Muffin's arm): he became a part of your life, he's your first love, right? Emmanuel is not perfect and so are you. Please forgive him. You don't want him to have a scar in his heart just because he is not forgiven, and you can end this gracefully, if you really want to end it

Muffin begins to cry and she hugs David. She begins to shed more tears while the other people are looking at them

Emmanuel: Vallerine let me go and Muffin too?
Parfait: it's like that, there's always a purpose why these things happen...I think it's time for you to fix yourself

Lunch time comes

the Mille-feuille family and Lun's family joined with them for lunch. Today's lunch are: Octopus balls, Coated Sea Bream, Vongole Bianco (pasta with clams), and Broiled eel. While eating...

Vanilla: Now this is what I call a real octopus balls!!
Parfait: Yes!!! This is what I'm looking for!!!
Pearl: Par, off-topic, when did you eat the snails that you and your family caught?
Parfait: last two days ago, when the time the Meringues and Neapolitans had a dinner here
Pearl: you didn't left for me, even one?? And Emman, you didn't give me at least one!?
Emmanuel: the elders ate a lot of snails

Apricot: I'm sorry about that Pearl, our two families ate a lot of snails that time
Reuben: the Meringues ate a lot of snails
Apricot: You,Ale and Parfait ate a lot
Reuben: it's understandable. Parfait missed them very much
Apricot: but you're not supposed to eat more than what our daughter ate

Parfait: *sigh mother and father, arguing again...
Hero: I'm having fun watching them hehehe
Parfait: Mother, Father, stop it! You might influence Lun and Dan, they might do that soon

Apricot and Reuben stop then stare at each other and apologize to Parfait

how did they marry if they keep on arguing? I'm used to it but I don't like when they do it especially there are other families join with us.. - Parfait

Taiyang: the daughter stopped them
Dan: nice one! ... father, hope I will not have an arguement with Chelun
Taiyang: just agree with each other and everything will be okay
Yue: Chelun, remember this, do not yell at your husband
Lun: I don't yell at anyone. I want our marriage just like yours, it's very quiet especially during lunch

Yue laughs softly and everyone looks at her

Pearl: Mrs Yue has the sweetest smile
Muffin: I know right. My mother's smile is not like that

Julienne: Apri, look at Yue, she has a very beautiful smile, I'm envious
Apricot: it's very genuine. Taiyang liked her for her smile and sweetness

then Yue sees the two mothers staring at her. Jullienne and Apricot starts drooling

Yue: Mrs Mille-feuille, Mrs Neapolitan, why your mouths are open?
Julienne: Oh my!
Apricot: Oh, sorry about that

The younger ones start laughing out loud. That the sound reaches even outside the restaurant. The 3 fathers, after they know the reason, start to laugh softly.

Pearl: their faces, it's so funny HAHAHAHAHA
Hero: mother, you even drooled as if you just saw a goddess
Julienne: I did and how I couldn't? Yue is so beautiful
Milk: that she become a lesbian for a short time?
Parfait: Milk, don't say that, she's your mother
Pearl: why did the precious wheel didn't have that?
Lun: but Dan liked for my smile, right Dan?
Dan: Yes

Vanilla: Lun, Dan, why you didn't have any sweet callings such as "honey" "love" or "sweetheart"??
Dan: too cheesy
Lun: mother and father wanted to call each other by their real names, so that in case there will be the time they might forget, they can recall their real names
Reuben: endearments are not popular in Provence and I don't like when I call Apricot ''honey" or "sugar"..no! no!
Taiyang: Lun and Dan or Taiyang and Yue are sweet enough, no need for endearments.
Frank: He's right, no need for extra decoration or whatever. I married Julienne, not sugar or honey

they laugh. Actually, there are people whose real names are Honey or Sugar.
