Eric and Quinn were outside finishing the picnic that they didn't get to finish before, when there was a loud knock from the front door.
Eric got up and walked to the front door with Quinn close behind.
Eric opened the door and Quinn scrunched up her eyebrows.
"Oh god. Can I help you?" Eric rolled his eyes. Quinn stood close behind Eric.
It was Alice and Billy from the record store.
"Here to kidnap me again?" Eric questioned with his eyebrow raised.
"No. We came for Quinn." Alice jerked her head towards Quinn.
Eric's hand instantly pushed Quinn back. "No." Eric said protectively.
"Why not? It's just a friendly conversation." Billy and Alice helped themselves into Eric's house and sat down at the kitchen table.
"What do you guys want?" Quinn pushed past Eric.
"Like we said, we just want to talk with you." Alice put her feet up on the table.
"About what?" Quinn questioned.
"Your father and his plans for Wonderlust. We think he's right. We want a piece of the action he's been getting." Billy explained.
"I have nothing to do with my dad or his villainous plans." Quinn sneered.
"Well then we're just going to have to kidnap you and hold you for ransom." Alice shrugged.
"That's not an option." Eric stepped in front of Quinn.
"It's two against one." Billy cracked his skinny knuckles.
"Yeah. You're a twig, I can break you in half. Alice, your bark is much worse than your bite. And Quinn can fight." Eric gestured to Quinn.
"I'm not in the mood to fight." Alice sunk deeper into her chair.
"That's what I thought. If we try and provide you with information from Quinn's dad, will you leave us alone?" Eric asked.
"Yes. That's all we needed." Alice raised her hands in the air.
"Fine. We'll let you know as soon as we can." Eric pointed to the door to show that the conversation was over.
"Fine. Sounds good to us." Billy called over his skinny shoulder as he left with Alice behind him.
Eric shut the door. "Let's get back to the picnic."
"Wait. Are we not going to talk about what just happened with them or are we just never going to talk about it again?" Quinn asked.
"We will. Do you want to talk about it now or after the picnic?" Eric questioned.
"How about during? I'm starving." Quinn laughed.
"Okay." Eric and Quinn went back outside and tried to think about what they should do to try and rid themselves of Alice and Billy for good.
"What if we just ditch them? Don't speak to them, avoid them, drop them completely." Quinn suggested.
"No. They would find a way back in. I can't risk them taking you." Eric denied as Quinn ate a strawberry.
"You're right. I'm tired of thinking. I want to make up with Phoenix." Quinn said.
"I'll come with you. We need to still talk to Miguel's family about the petition." Eric reminded Quinn.
"Oh yeah. I doubt that anyone else will want to come to that anymore." Quinn shook her head.
"Another Quinn and Eric mission." Eric smiled.
"Looks like it." Quinn grinned.
Quinn and Eric got into Eric's car and they drove over to Phoenix's house.
Phoenix was sitting on the front step with her phone. Quinn got out of the car.
Phoenix jumped up. "Listen Quinn. I am so sorry about what me and my mom were talking about. It was so mean, and none of us meant anything." Phoenix assured Quinn.
"I know. I get it. Maybe I don't just forgive and forget, but maybe it's about time I start to forgive Mimi." Quinn muttered.
"Okay great. Because Mimi and I rescheduled for today at 5:00." Phoenix started to pull Quinn's arm.
"Wait. Let me just tell Eric what's going on." Quinn walked over to Eric.
"What is it?" Eric asked.
"Phoenix apologized. It seemed real. I might continue to live here." Quinn winced at what Eric's reaction could be.
"It's for the best. Now Alice and Billy won't be able to find you at my house." Eric nodded.
"Thank you for everything." Quinn grinned.
"Anytime." Eric nodded. Quinn kisses Eric goodbye and walked back to Phoenix's front door.
"So, what do you want to do until we have to go with Mimi and Kris?" Phoenix asked as she shut the door.
"Truth or dare?" Quinn laughed.
"That could be fun. Let's play." Phoenix agreed.
"Oh, I was only joking." Quinn smirked.
"Well let's play." Phoenix went up the stairs to her room and Quinn followed.
"Let's ask your mom to play." Quinn joked.
"No. Then she'll find out all my dirty secrets that I've been hiding." Phoenix glared at Quinn.
"What dirty secrets?" Quinn giggled.
"You'll see." Phoenix raised her eyebrows and the two girls went into Phoenix's room and Quinn was wondering what secrets Phoenix had been hiding from her.
