After Phoenix was reunited with her friends, and her and Daniel were better than ever, Phoenix told Quinn and Daniel a conversation that she had with a particular worker at the record store.

"Her name was Alice I think. She had cuts up and down her arms as if she had been in a knife fight." Phoenix explained.

"Or she cuts herself." Daniel interrupted.

"Why do you always have to be so gloomy?" Quinn questioned.

"Moving on. She knew who I was. Like she recognized me or something." Phoenix continued. "It was weird. She said that she hoped that Daniel and I could work things out because we were a cute couple."

"No disagreement there." Daniel added.

"Blech." Quinn muttered.

"I just got this weird vibe from her. She was looking at me and Daniel when we-." Phoenix started.

"When we were walking out." Daniel finished.

"Yeah. Okay." Quinn rolled her eyes. "You guys kissed. Just say it. It's a normal thing that couples do. Eric and I just got official and we kiss all the time. It's a romantic thing."

"How come you suddenly end up flipping the conversation into being about you?" Daniel questioned.

"I don't. It just happens to be that way." Quinn stuck her tongue out at him.

"Wow, way to show maturity." Daniel raised his eyebrows. Eric walked in and saw Quinn and Daniel glaring at each other and started to walk away.

"Eric wait. It's okay." Phoenix assured Eric.

"Alright. I didn't want to intrude but Quinn and I have to go." Eric turned to Quinn.

"Oh shoot. Yeah guys I have to go." Quinn got up and grabbed her jacket.

"Bye Quinn." Phoenix waved.

"Bye! Thank you so much for saving me from that. Where are we going?" Quinn turned to Eric.

"We actually have somewhere to go Quinn. We're meeting my parents remember?" Eric questioned.

"Oh yeah! I was just joking around. I have to go home to get ready really quick because I don't think that ripped jeans will make the cut for your parents. So, I'll just walk home and pick me up when I'm ready?" Quinn asked hopefully.

"Yeah. I'll just come with you. Come on." Eric pointed to his car and Quinn got in.

"Wait. Stop." Quinn told Eric when they passed Wonderlust Record Store. "That's my dad inside."

She pointed to her dad standing inside the record store yelling at the employees. He left looking rather happy and the employees looking not so happy.

Quinn got out of the car and ran over to the record store. Eric got out and followed her.

"Look both ways!" Eric called after her. Quinn ignored this and ran across the street. She went into the record store and crashed into a display of Michael Jackson records.

"Hey!" Billy cried disapprovingly.

"Sorry. Cleanup on aisle door." Quinn started to pick up the records. "I need to speak with whoever was just speaking with my dad." Quinn ordered.

"That's your dad? I feel bad for you." Alice sighed.

"Who are you?" Eric asked.

"Alice. I was talking to your dad. He had some very interesting demands." Alice told Quinn.

"Okay. What demands?" Quinn asked eagerly.

"Follow me into the back." Alice led Quinn to a back room. Eric followed.

"Uh, no lover boy. Only me and the girl are allowed back here." Alice told Eric.

"Fine. I'll wait out here." Eric sighed.

"Perfect." Billy grinned.

Alice led Quinn to a storage room and told her to sit down. "Mr. Rembarc is the mayor of the town as you know."

"Wait what? My dad is not mayor. He didn't even run for election. He couldn't have been mayor." Quinn corrected Alice.

"But somehow he was. Your dad is a powerful man. You moved here from Queens, right?" Alice asked.

"Yeah. What does that have to do with anything?" Quinn questioned.

"Your dad came here to try and take over Wonderlust. He's cutting off all creative aspects of the town and turning into a robot industry. Do you know what that means?" Alice asked.

"No. Why are you telling me all of this?" Quinn asked.

"Never mind that. A robot industry means that the town has a function. The function of Wonderlust right now is to be as creative as possible. Your dad wants it to make money. He's ruining the town and he's starting with us." Alice explained.

"A record company?" Quinn asked.

"Yes." Alice nodded.

"I have to go." Quinn got up. She didn't want Alice to see the panic in her eyes.

"We'll meet again. I'll be here to ruin your life. Starting with killing your father." Alice roared.

Quinn walked out of the storage room, and saw Eric nowhere to be found.

"Where's Eric?" Quinn asked Billy.

"Oh I don't know. Have fun looking for him. Miss. Rembarc." Billy sneered.

"What?" Quinn figured that Eric must've just been in his car but Eric was gone. His car was still there. "Oh god. They took Eric." Quinn broke down.
