Chapter 17
Caroline silently observes her two daughters quietly eating their lunch, no one will mention that it has been two days since Stefan returned to his home.
Caroline: I received a convening letter for the parent teacher meeting, is there a teacher with whom you want I have a discussion?
The twins share a concerned look with each other before offering a smile to their mothers.
Josie: Not especially.
Caroline: Good.
The blonde twin sighs at the awkwardness of the breakfast, she looks at her sister to start a topic of conversation.
Josie: Uh ... next Friday I'm going to a party.
Caroline looks at her daughter in shock, the brunette hadn't attended a teenage party since they arrived in Mystic Falls.
Caroline: Are you sure it's a good idea? The last time it ended very badly, I don't want it to start again.
Josie: I'll ask Hope if she wants to come.
Lizzie: Of course Snoopy will want to come, she follows you around like a little lost puppy.
Caroline: Elisabeth, you will accompany your sister so that nothing happens like the last time.
Lizzie: If I knew what happened last time it might help better understand your discussion.
Josie: Well the last-
The mother of the twins cut her daughter off.
Caroline: Just make sure it doesn't happen again Josette.
Lizzie: Do you realize that now I'm not going to stop asking my sister what happened until she tells me.
Caroline smiles falsely at her daughter then turns her gaze to the other with a stern expression.
Caroline: If you tell your sister, you will be deprived of the pizza day, and you will eat broccoli instead.
Josie looks dramatically at her mother, the daughter hated vegetables more than anything and especially broccoli, but she loved pizzas, besides her best record in quantity of pizza to eat in is twenty and she still had enough (not counting dessert). ).
Lizzie knew at that moment that she couldn't get anything more from her sister. This is what she calls a low blow from her mother.

Much to Lizzie's relief, Milton Greasley was able to return to high school. She could no longer hold the candle to her sister and Hope.
MG: I missed you!
Lizzie: Of course we did.
Josie: We missed you too.
MG and Hope check each other out in greeting.
Hope: So how was it?
MG: It was so awesome! I went to see a preview of the Avengers movie and I visited the filming studios.
Josie: How could you mother put up with you, you existed like a flea just by explaining to us.
MG: Oh, she didn't have to do it, we just got to watch the movie together but then she got caught up in work.
Lizzie: What does she do for a job?
MG: I'm not sure, I think she's running a business.
The four sit in their usual places in class.
MG: Jo, can you pass me your notes at the end of class so that I can catch up?
Josie: Of course.
Krypton and Daxam's daughter pats her girlfriend on the shoulder to get her attention.
Hope: Hmm?
Josie: I wanted to know if you'd like to be my date for Jade's party next Friday?
Hope: Jade?
Jade's name resonates in the tribrid's mind, she definitely associated him with an enemy. (Even though technically she didn't do anything wrong (Hope fully understands that we could fall under Josie's spell))
Josie: That's the pretty girl I'm sitting with in Philosophy. She is blonde and has ye-
Hope stopped listening, why did Josie call Jade "pretty girl"? She never called Hope like that ...
Hope: I will come.
The tribrid's cold voice surprised Josie, but the brunette made no comment.
Hope hated parties, but she had to make sure Jade didn't try anything with her girlfriend.

Josie looks intently at the man who wore her father's features, the supposed Mon-El finally agreed to meet Josie.
Josie: So this is where you live?
It was a small motel without too much of a mark, but quite pleasant.
He nods in the affirmative.
Josie: You are Mon-El from Daxam, right?
Mon-El: That's it.
Josie sighed with joy, she had imagined that she was from a planet where there were plenty of clones and she thought that this man had also managed to escape and that was why he looked like her. progenitor.
Mon-El: Alura, you've grown so much ...
The girl was not used to being called that.
Josie: You on the other hand have not aged on the projection.
Mon-El: It's a long story ... I'll tell you later if you agree?
Josie: Of course.
The two are sitting on the bed the awkward silence and broken by Mon-El.
Mon-El: Do you like this planet?
Josie: She's pretty cool, then I don't really have anything to compare with since I've lived here all my life.
Mon-El: Can't we visit another planet?
Josie: Not really ...
The Daxamite frowns in annoyance.
Mon-El: I managed to send a message to Daxam, but I still haven't received a response.
Josie: Do you want to go?
Mon-El: With you, if you don't mind?
Josie: No, I want to stay here, my whole life is here.
Mon-El smiles sadly, and nods.
Mon-El: I understand ... I think then that I will stay here if I do not have an answer from Daxam ...
Josie: What happened? In Daxam and in Krypton?
Mon-El: Krypton was destroyed and debris was sent to Daxam. They are twin planets, so they are quite close.
Josie: So there are survivors?
Mon-El: Obviously! Or at least I hope ...
Josie's phone rang, it was Lizzie asking her where she is because their mother would be coming home soon.
Josie: I have to go, but I have one last question. Why have you avoided me all this time?
Mon-El: I wanted it to be perfect, I wanted it to be understood so I made a translator.
He shows the sound where a small device is, Josie had taken earlier for a mole.
Mon-El: But at the same time I had to start getting used to how to live with Earthlings a bit and I also wanted to make sure you were okay.
Josie: Okay, thank's ... see you one of those four.

Milton was very fond of doing his homework in the living room while his mother worked at her computer.
MG: Wow!
Veronica looked at son and was about to scold him thinking he was reading a comic instead of working.
MG: Mom do you know what language it is?
He shows his notebook: These are strange signs, letters from another alphabet which is not Earthly.
Veronica: It's ... You let me take a picture, I have a colleague who's crazy about languages, as soon as he sees one he wants to learn it. Maybe he knows her.
The boy's mother takes a picture of the notebook.
MG: It's not worth it, I think I'll ask Josie.
Veronica: Josie? It's your...?
MG: No, it's not the girlfriend, it's Hope's.
Veronica: These are the twins you told me about, right?
MG: Yeah, Lizzie is too beautiful.
Veronica gave a tight smile and nodded.
