Albert has just brought Elijah and Venus upstairs into his music room to talk qith them in private. Meanwhile, Downstairs…

Johnathan sighs. "I'm not sure how I feel about this.."

"Yeah me neither."

"Well take it from me, he's much safer being alone with Venus than any other Conquerors," Bianca said. 

Cheyenne turns to her and folds her arms. "What are you saying about me then…?" she spoke softly and sternly with a glint in her eye. Bianca grows frozen, staring at Cheyenne awkwardly.  Then Cheyenne grins. "I had you there."

Bianca's eyes widened. "You did not!"

"I Did!" Cheyenne said with a goofy smile.

Stephanie and Trenton snicker. "What the heck? You're so tough and mouthy, yet you're intimidated by Cheyenne?"

"She was always intimidating whenever I worked with her."

"Yeah well now she's as harmless as a dove," Vinnie said, patting Cheyenne on the back with a chuckle. "C'mon, let's have a seat."

They all gather around the couch. 

"So, we finally meet the friends from back home. This is….interesting."

"How do you think this is for us?"

"Or for me? Like, Elijah's a pastor now, you're out here in California, one of the girls I worked with is serving the youth and dating one of the youth members? I mean, what the heck has been going on?"

"Oh boy, a LOT has been going on with LionHeart the past few years," Stephanie said.

"LionHeart? What's that?" I asked. 

"That's our group name."

"And our band name."

"Your Band?!" I asked again, loudly with wide eyes.

"OHHH!! What, YOU'RE the guys who stole the show from Forty Lashes in Vegas?!" Vinnie asked. 
Cheyenne's eyes widened even further. With a facial expression that spells 'EXPLAIN NOW.'

The three kids all grin at each other and chuckle. "We've got a lot to catch you up on."

'So, pretty much, a year after your.....disappearing act, Eli had been serving as our youth leader, and.....a bunch of things led to another and, we started our own band called LionHeart."

"And you premiered it by crashing a Forty Lashes show?" she asked.

"Haha. Yeah!"

"Why would you do that?"

"Well because, Angela and the other PC's were supposed to perform at the very end," Bianca said. Cheyenne's eyes fully widen.

"And after some of the stuff they did, and learning anout....your involvement with them, we decided that we were DONE taking any of their crap."

"And it was like, the greatest thing ever! Here, lemme show you," Trenton said pulling out his phone.
He shows Cheyenne footage of their performance. With video of them attacking their karate friends dressed up as ninjas while two of them sing the words to a song.
Then it shows them all doing karate choreography to another song, doing flips and kicks and everything.

"Wait a second who's that guy in the mohawk?"

"Oh that's Eli," Stephanie said.

Cheyenne's eyes widen again. "What the Fuck?!" When they widen even more when she remembers who she's even in the room with! "Oh, I'm sorry I-"
