Toby!"
His mother's eyes glistened in the sunlight as she ran to her lost son, who had called from a gas station miles away.
"Toby!" she crashed into her son's arms as he approached her with a warm hug.
"Oh, my boy!" She pulled away from her son, looking to see if it was actually him. When she concluded that it wasn't an imposter, she embraces him even harder.
"Oh, Toby...why did you run away like that?"
"Hey, mom...I'm so sorry..."
Suddenly, Toby's father approached from behind his mother. He weakly grinned at his son, looking down to his feet and then back up to him.
"Dad..." Toby drifted as he tried to keep tears from filling his eyes. "Dad, mom, I should never have done this to you. You didn'g deserve this..."
Zeo and Masamune approached the reunited family, followed by Faust and then Julianne (3.0).
Julianne gazed at the family with a blank look. "Faust," her eyebrows furrowed. "What is happening here?"
"This is called family. I know I'm a clone, but it seems that I still have Toby's memory of some things..."
"Very interesting—"
"And who might these people be?" Tovy's mother suddenly asked, looking to Faust and Julianne.
"Oh, right,"
"Well, there's something I need to tell you..." Toby turned to his friends.
"What is it, son?" his father replied, shifting his balance as he spoke.
"Well," Toby smiled weakly. "I didn't run away; I was kidnapped by a doctor that owned a massive science-tech company. No one really knew of his top secret projects but him and some other top-secret scientists, but here they are." Toby held out his hand towards the duo.
"Dad, Mom, meet Julianne 3.0, a world-class android created by the doctor. And this..." he pointed to Faust. "Well, he's my clone—"
"Your what?!"
Toby let out a sheepish laugh. "That's right, this is Faust!"
There was an awkward pause before Toby's parents responded. "Well, hello there you two! It's pleased to meet you."
Julianne grinned, holding out her hand to shake theirs. "It's pleased to meet you as well."
Faust did the same as Julianne.
Another awkward silence passed before anyone spoke again.
"Well, you guys, let's go home." Toby's mother spoke.
"Yeah..."
Toby, along with his parents and Zeo and Masamune, travelled towards the large car in the parking lot.
Once they approached the car, Toby turned around to face his counterpart and Julianne.
"Well," Toby spoke. "Are you coming?"
Julianne looked to Faust, who looked to Toby with wide eyes.
"Y-yes. I will come..."
Faust and Julianne cautiously stepped towards the car.
Somehow everybody managed to squeeze in, and together they travelled, homeward-bound at last.
