        The trio had just landed in California, Maggie was tired and missed her Superdorks already. However, the group did not have to worry about Fans approaching them with the help of Razzie. Many teen girls were to afraid to approach when a dog half the size of Maggie was guarding them. They were all quiet pleased to get out of the airport quickly.

     "Look who's home Skylar!" Sharise enthused, making the toddler giggle with excitement. Maggie smiled brightly as she picked up Skylar, holding the girl tightly, "I got you some presents sissy! You wanna see?" Maggie smiled softly as Skylar clapped her hands excitedly. The two made their way towards Maggie's room, Razzie trailing behind them, sniffing around her new environment.

       Skylar sat on Maggie's bed, watching the older girl open her suitcase. "Okay lil'angel, You ready?" The toddler nodded, giggling happily, Maggie smiled before handing the toddler three stuffed animals. "See sissy, its Mickey, Goofy, and Pluto. Your favorites!" Skylar clutched the three to her chest tightly, babbling to the stuffed animals about how happy she was to have them.

   Sharise smiled from the doorway, before gently sitting down on the floor watching Maggie unpack. "How was your trip, sweetheart?" Sharise asked, softly petting Razzie who'd quickly grown attached to the woman. Maggie grinned, "I preformed on stage, Risee! Like I sang with Gene, and then played the guitar solo." Sharise smiled softly, "Didn't you play the solo on the original album too?" Maggie nodded, "I mean yeah, but nobody knew it was me playing! Sharise, I played better than Ace!"

    There was a chuckle from the door, Vince smiling at the girls, "That's not saying much kiddo." The two women laughed, Maggie shaking her head with a smile, "Fair, but I just felt so powerful! It was like I was on top of the world. I felt so much pride and joy from making people dance and sing along. It was amazing, Vinnie." The singer smiled, nodding, "I know exactly how you feel Mags. Have you told Nikki yet?" Maggie grimaced, placing her hands on the dresser, "He called once and it was to chew out Tommy." Vince shook his head, gritting his teeth, Sharise gave her husband a gentle look, "Vince. Keep your cool in front of the girls." Sharise stated, the singer sighed heavily before nodding. "How was Disney? Also why is Batman in my house?"

      The little family had decided stay home for dinner, wanting to give Maggie some time to rest after her long weekend. Sharise was setting the table as the doorbell rang, both women looked at each other confused, before looking at Vince. The singer got up from playing with Skylar, walking downstairs towards the door. Maggie finished feeding Razzie before peeking down the stairs at the front door.

     A woman wearing a pantsuit and Jonah stood at the door. Maggie scrunched her brows with confusion as Vince let the two in, guiding them up the stairs. Maggie instantly ran over to Sharise, hiding behind the woman shyly. Sharise looked down about to ask Maggie what was wrong as the group appeared at the top of the stairs. "Sharise meet Mrs. Norris, and you know Dr. Jonah." Vince introduced, Sharise gave the two a polite smile, "Are you two joining us for Dinner?" Jonah looked at Norris who politely nodded, "if that's alright with you Mrs. Neil." Sharise smiled, "Of course! There's always room at our table." The two sat themselves at the table, Vince sitting at the head of the table.

      Maggie snuck over to Jonah, "What the hell are you doing here, Jonah?" The therapist leaned down, "We'll talk about it after dinner, Maggie. Why don't you sit next to me?" Maggie glanced at the strange woman before sitting next to Jonah. The girl stayed deadly silent throughout dinner, listening to the polite chatter going on between the adults. Maggie felt extremely on edge.

      After dinner, Maggie helped Sharise clean up. Vince of course leading the two adults to the livingroom, before putting Skylar to bed. Maggie was forced into the livingroom sitting between her caretakers. "So, why the hell are you here?" Maggie asked, clearly irritated by the sudden vist, Mrs. Norris smiled, "Maggie, I know there is no use in being indirect with you. I'm with child protective services, and I'm here to take you into foster care." Maggie felt her heart drop, looking at the two adults next to her, "What?" Sharise asked stunned, "Why can't she stay here?! She's perfectly safe here!" Vince exclaimed.
