Quinn and Eric met Crystal, Kris, Tanner, and Mimi at Wonderlust Restaurant.

"Guys where have you been?" Mimi questioned. She pulled Quinn aside.

"Nowhere. Uh, so no one has heard from Phoenix?" Quinn asked.

"No. We tried calling her so many times. She picked up once and said to leave her alone. I don't know where she is or where to look first." Crystal spoke fast.

"Okay. Wonderlust Park. That's where Phoenix goes when she's upset. If she's upset that's where she'll be." Quinn remembered.

"How do you know that?" Kris asked.

"Random conversations." Quinn shrugged.

"Boys, we're going to Wonderlust Park. According to Quinn, it's where she'll be." Mimi clapped her hands.

"Why are you so upset about Quinn knowing where Phoenix might be?" Tanner asked.

"Don't worry. It doesn't matter." Mimi glared at Tanner.

The group headed towards Wonderlust Park and ran into Ella.

"Oh hey guys! Where are you all going?" Ella was the prettiest girl that ever went to Wonderlust Theater, and one of the sweetest.

"We're all headed over to Wonderlust Park." Quinn explained.

"Maybe you should join us." Crystal practically drooled at Ella's appearance.

"Where's Phoenix?" Ella eyed the group.

"That's actually why we're headed to the park. Phoenix must be really upset and normally she goes to the park." Eric told Ella.

"I remember. Hey, maybe I'll come. I haven't seen Phoenix in years. This could be nice." Ella stood next to Quinn.

"You and Eric look awfully comfortable." Ella winked.

"Look." Quinn held out her hand and showed Ella the promise ring.

"Holy crap! He gave this to you?" Ella grabbed Quinn's hand.

"Yeah. He's so sweet." Quinn smiled.

A couple minutes later everyone arrived at the park. Phoenix was sitting on one of the swings, and when she saw everyone she got up quickly.

"Wait!" Quinn cried.

Phoenix froze. "I'm not talking to all of you."

"I'll go." Mimi volunteered.

"No, that's not best. I spent the most time with her today. I'll go." Quinn ran up to Phoenix.

"What does everyone want?" Phoenix asked. She sat back down on the swing.

"Everyone's just worried about you. You ran off. I think everyone's overreacting. You'd be fine on your own. What's up?" Quinn asked.

"It's Daniel." Phoenix started. Quinn's eyes widened. "I tried to help him by getting all you guys to the Wonderlust Restaurant to try and help. But, he misunderstood and thought I was just trying to prove something. Now he's all angry at me even though he says he isn't, and I just don't know what to do. What do I do?" Phoenix explained.

"Did you text or call him?" Quinn questioned.

"Yes. Thousands of times. No answer." Phoenix shook her head.

"Let's go to his house. Just the two of us. I'll demand that he talks to you. He should understand." Quinn stood up.

"No. I don't want to make things worse." Phoenix pulled Quinn back down.

"Then I'll just go by myself. Phoenix, you need to stick up for yourself. If you don't, I will." Quinn got up and marched through the group of people.

"Hey, what's wrong with her?" Ella grabbed Quinn's arm.

"Nothing. She's just not in a good mood. I'm going to Daniel's house." Quinn walked away.

Eric chased after her. "Daniel's house? Why?"

"Nothing. Just want to talk to him." Quinn shook Eric off.

"Oh. Okay." Eric rolled his eyes.

"Oh, god. Not like that. I hate his guts." Quinn muttered. "It's about Phoenix. It's private."

"Okay." Eric sighed. "Meet me at my house when we're done and then we'll have that picnic."

"Thank you. You're the best." Quinn kissed Eric on the cheek.

By the time Quinn had left, Phoenix was no where to be seen again.
