"Charles was seriously hurt.  He needed to put somewhere comfortable. So I treat his wounds." explained Sage.

"Then why haven't you called the ambulance or something?" asked Cassie.

"Because it wasn't that serious.  What is up with you?" annoyed Sage.

"What is up is I don't appreciate you having my stripping my fiance' damn near naked and laying in your bed nor I appreciate you talking to his mom and pretending to be me." said Cassie.

"Cassie calm down nothing has happened between me and Charles.  I just did what Robin would do if you in that situation." said Sage.

"Don't you ever in your lifetime compare yourself to Robin.  He is ten time the human being you ever be." said Cassie.

"What I can't do nice things for people?" asked Sage.

"I don't trust you Sage." said  Cassie.

"After all I have done for you and Lizzie and Tay you still don't trust me?" surprised Sage.

"Look I appreciate you looking out for Lizzie and Tay.  I'll give you that.  But you are always up to something that's my problem with you." said Cassie.

"Cassie, Charles was out cold I didn't know what to do." Sage explained.

"Sage any person with a half a brain would at least called the hospital or call me or Mrs A for that matter." angered Cassie.

"Cassie I've already told you.  Charles injuries are not that serious." said Sage.

"I'm warning you Sage if you even get any idea of you trying to steal Charles away from me I'll kill you." warned Cassie.

"OOoooh it's that suppose to be a threat it needs work." said Sage.

"That's not just a threat it's a promise." said Cassie.

"It's time for you to leave." said Sage opening the door.

"I'll be glad to. I don't want to be caught dead in your skank apartment." said Cassie leaving.

Sage was angry and slammed the door after Cassie left.

"I know she did not just called me a skank." mutter Sage.

As Cassie drove one of the twins asked.

"Mommy what does skank means?" asked Kalie.

"Something you should never be like." said Cassie.

Meanwhile back at the Sutton Household Charles was explaining everything to his mother.

"You mean to tell Bill did this to you?" stunned Marla.

"Yes!  He was in my apartment and when I opened the door he beat the holy hell out of me." said Charles.

"Wait Wait Wait Wait...this doesn't make any sense at all.  This doesn't sound like Bill at all. Charles are you sure you're telling me the truth?" asked Marla.

"Mom trust me I wouldn't lied to you.  Bill is nut and he have it in for me." said Charles.

"Charles you are a little tramutize with the whole thing  with Mac that you are delusional." said Marla.

"JEASUS CHRIST MOM!!!! I'M NOT DELUSIONAL.  WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS REFUSE TO BELIEVE WHEN IT COME TO MEN IN YOUR LIFE???" upsetted Charles.

"Charles I'm trying but Bill too good of a person to even do something like this." said Marla.

"Mom I'm not lyin' to you.  Bill is not the person he appears to be.  He's nuts and so is his niece.  She always trying to break me and Cassie up and always putting in hot water with Bill." explained Charles.

"Charles sweetie please try to calm down." said Marla.

"It's hard for me to calm when you won't believe me." said Charles.

"Charles I don't want to argue with you.  I'm going to talk with Bill and hear his explanation." said Marla.

"Mom he would just denie it." said Charles.

"Charles I believe you and I'm calling you a liar but I want to hear the whole story.  There is an explanation to all this.  I want you to do is stay calm and relax.  You just returned.  I'll get to the bottom of this I promised." said Marla.

"Yeah sure!" said Charles.

"I got to go....Love you too." said Marla as she kissed Charle and left.

"This cannot go on like this.  I got to do something before this get out of hand." said Charles.

Meanwhile Lizzie was sitting in her room reading until she got a text message from Andrew. 

Hey Lizzie,

I've been thinking about you and I missed you.  Meet me at the Rev. tonight.  I've got a special surprised for you.               

Andrew.

Lizzie was exciting so she went through closet to pick something special to wear tonight.


"What to wear what to wear....I am so excited I haven't seem Amdrew in so long." said Lizzie to herself.

As she looked through her closet Lizzie couldn't find anything to wear.

"I can't find anything.  I really want to dress nice for Andrew.  Especially that he has a surprise for me.  And I love surprises." said Lizzie.

Then Lizzie realize that Cassie had that dress she design.  Lizzie wanted to wear Cassie's dress but Cassie always refuse to let know.  As Lizzie notice that Cassie was still out with the twins this gave her a good opportunity to take Cassie's dress.  So Lizzie snuck in Cassie's bedroom found the dress and tried it on.

"YES!!!! It's fits perfectly." said Lizzie.

Lizzie got dressed and then put on a leather jacket just in case Cassie return and finds out.  Then she wrote a note to her folks that she is going out and went to the rev.

Meanwhile Jeron and Kendra was at the mall browsing and strolling around figuring out what else to steal.

"This is so much fun." said Kendra.

"This day ain't over yet." said Jeron.

"I must say you are really good at all this swiping stuff." said Kendra.

"Hey I've been doing this for awhile.  I'm a pro." bragged Jeron.

"Oh really?" said Kendra.

"Yeah I'm so good that one time when Tay weren't paying any attention I swipe his video game." said Jeron.

Kendra was shocked when Jeron told her that.

"Really?  But you and Tay are best friends." shocked Kendra.

"We still are.  But of course  when Tay found that I took his game he started weepy and cryin' so I gave his video game back." lied Jeron.

"Yeah sure!" said Kendra unconvinced.

"Hey let's check out that new music store over there.  I bet they have plenty cool CDs we can swipe." said Jeron.

"Well Beyonce just release her new CD recently.  We can steal that." said Kendra.

"Ask and you shall recieve." said Jeron.

So Jeron and Kendra went into the music store stolling around being up to no good.  Then suddenly a sale clerk was starting to watch the two and he ot suspicious and Kendra notices the sales clerk watching them.

"Watch it Jeron! There's a sales clerk watching us." said Kendra.

"Don't pay him any mind otherwise he'll know we're up to something." said Jeron.

Soon the Sales Clerk caught up with them and the two paused.

"Now what?!?!" whispered Kendra.

"Just follow my league." said Jeron.

"May I help you with anything?" asked The Sales Clerk.

"Uhh yes do you have any Jazz CD?" asked Kendra.

"Aren't you two a little young to be listening to Jazz?" asked The Sales Clerk.

"It's for my brother." lied Kendra.

"Alright follow me." said The Sales Clerk.

As the turned his back Jeron quickly picked up the Beyonce CD and put it in his back pocket.

"You follow him while I sneak out." said Jeron.

"Right!" said Kendra.

Jeron almost thought he got away unaware as walked out he went through the security bar and the alarm went off. Jeron dropped the stolen CD and he was caught in the act. So he fleed out of the music store and the security guard ran after him.  As the Security guard chase after Jeron, he called for back up.  All the security guards came out and they were chasing Jeron all over the mall.  Jeron was trapped and there was no way out until he spotted a back door and he escaped.

"Whew that was almost too close." said Jeron as he barely escaped.

Jeron thought he was free until he ran into an officer with a footlocker salesman who reported a pair of sneakers missing.

"That's the punk.  He's the run who ran off with the sneakers.  Him and his little girlfriend was in it." said the guy from footlocker.

"Old man I didn't steal your shoes." lied Jeron.

"Then what are those on your feet?" asked the officer as spotted the brand new sneakers with the price tag sticking out.

"DAMN!!!!" said Jeron.

"You better come with me son." said the officer.

"And you better take this little girl too." said the security guard as he grabbed Kendra.

"I swear I never met him before in my life." lied Kendra.

"I found her and this boy stealing a Beyonce CD." said the security guard.

"Don't you kids ever stopped and think?" asked the officer.

"BITE ME!!!!" snapped Jeron.

As searched Jeron the officer other items he and Kendra has stolen.

"You two been quite busy." said the officer.

"You not going to arrest us are you?" frighten Kendra.

"What do you think?" asked The Officer.

"DAMN!!!!" said Kendra & Jeron in unision.

"You two better come with me." said the officer.

So Kendra and Jeron was arrested and went down to the police station.  Meanwhile at the Rev. Andrew was waiting on Lizzie.  Lizzie finally showed up with Cassie dress on.  Andrew was amaze to see Lizzie in that outfit.

"Wow you stunnily beautiful." said Andrew.

"Thank you." said Lizzie blushing.

"I love the outfit you are wearing." said Andrew.

"Oh this old thing please!  It just something I found in the closet." said Lizzie telling half truth.

"Come on I saved you a seat." said Andrew.

"Thanks!" said Lizzie.

So the two sat and talked for awhile.

"So Andrew what have you been up to?  I haven't seen you around in awhile." said Lizzie.

"Well I went to visit my grandmom and stayed there for awhile.  I'm sorry haven't called you.  But my grandmother has been sick as of late." said Andrew.

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that.  How is she?" asked Lizzie.

"She's hangin' in there.  My grandmother is a strong person." said Andrew.

"I hope she gets better." said Lizzie.

"Me too." said Andrew.

Meanwhile Cassie returned home with the twins frustrated and tired.

"Damn Sage!  She really knows how to get under my skin." said Cassie.

Suddenly she heard the doorbell rang and it was Charles.

"Charles!" surprised Cassie.

"Hey beautiful." said Charles.

"I thought you went to see your mother." said Cassie.

"I did but I haven't forgotten about our time together with the twins.  What's wrong you look irritated."said Charles.

"I went to see Sage." said Cassie.

"Cassie you didn't.  Cassie I told you nothing happened between me and Sage." said Charles.

"I know I just wanted to make sure and I gave Sage a little warning." said Cassie.

"I appreciate that Cassie but you got to start trusting me more." said Charles.

"I know.  I do trust you Charles but I don't trust Sage.  So how your mom doing?" asked Cassie.

"Alright I guess...I don't want to talk about her right now." said Charles.

"Is everything alirght?" asked Cassie.

"It's a long story.  Let's concentrate on the twins." said Charles.

"Good idea." said Cassie.

So the two spent time and played with the twins for awhile.  Then they watch the twins fall asleep.

"You know I finally getting used to being a parent." said Charles.

"Yeah me too." said Cassie.

"You know I think about having more kids." said Charles.

"Charles!!!!" shocked Cassie.

"Not now but somewhere down the line." said Cassie.

"You know when we went to Hawaii I have forgotten to take my new dress with me." said Cassie.

"You got a new dress?" asked Charles.

"Yes I designed it myself.  I wanted to take with me and wear it." said Cassie.

"You can still wear it." said Charles.

"It's too late now.  We're back home." said Cassie.

"I know but I like to see you in it.  I bet you look gorgeous in that dress." said Charles.

Cassie started blush and she went to her bedroom to try on the white dress.

But as Cassie got into her closet she couldn't find her dress.  She pulled out all of her clothes from her closet but no white dress.  Cassie looked everywhere but she couldn't find her white dress.  Soon Cassie realized that someone has taken her dress.  Cassie also realizes the only possible suspect that could've taken the dress was Lizzie.

"She better not have taken my otherwise I'm going to kill her." said Cassie to herself.

Meanwhile back at the Rev. Lizzie was enjoying her time with Andrew. 

"I really having a great time with you." said Andrew.

"Me too.  This is the best evening of my life." said Lizzie.

As the two began to kiss Lizzie's cell phone rang and it was Cassie.  Lizzie ignored the call.  And the two kissed. Until Sage interrupted bringing their drinks.

"No offense this is a cafe not a motel." said Sage.

"Sorry Sage." said Lizzie.

Lizzie's cell phone continued to ring.

"Aren't you going to answered that?" asked Sage.

"Oh sure." said Lizzie.

Lizzie slowly answered her cell.

"Hello" said Lizzie silently.

"Listen you little thief!!! I know you took my dress and I want it back right now!!!" angered Cassie.

Then Lizzie hung up on Cassie.

"Who was that?" asked Andrew.

"Oh nobody!" lied Lizzie.

Then suddenly Lizzie recieved a text message from Cassie. 

"Excuse me Andrew I'll be right back." said Lizzie.

Lizzie went to the back and read the text from Cassie.

"You have about 20 minutes to bring your butt home!!!  Otherwise I'm hunting your ass down!!!! Cassie."

Lizzie went back to Andrew.

"Andrew I've better be going." said Lizzie.

"Is everything alright?" asked Andrew.

"Sure it just an emergency.  No big deal." said Lizzie.

"Well can I at least walk you home?" asked Andrew.

"Sure thing." said Lizzie.

Meanwhile Eddie and Jenn arrived at the police station.

"Hey you called us?" asked Eddie.

"Yes there's a girl claiming that you're her guardian named Kendra." said the officer.

"Well actually she was staying with us temporaily until we found someone who could take care of Kendra." said Eddie.

"We were going to take her over there but she had ran away." said Jenn.

"Well we found her." said the officer.

Oh thanks goodness.  We looked almost everywhere for her." said Jenn.

"Where is she now?" asked Eddie.

"In custody." said the officer.

"WHAT!!!!" shocked Eddie and Jenn in unison.

"What caught her and her little friend shoplifting at the store." said the officer.

"Oh My God!" disturbed Eddie.

"The good news is the store manager are willing to dropped the charges once you have picked her up." said the officer.

"That's great news...but what about her friend?" asked Jenn.

"Well this kid has a record and one too many warnings.  We called his mother and she should be on her way soon." said the officer.

"Can we see them?" asked Jenn.

"Sure." said the officer.

Soon the officer brought out Kendra and Jeron.  Eddie and Jenn was shocked when they saw Jeron.

"Jeron!!!! BOY WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" angered Eddie.

"That's what I want to know!" said Dana as she arrived.

"Gulp...Uh hi mom." said Jeron.

"Don't hi mom me boy!!!!  What are you doing here?  Why aren't you at school?" angered Dana.

Jeron was silence.

"Boy I am talking to you." frustrated Dana.

"Boy do you hear me?  Look at me when I'm talking to." shouted Dana.

"WHAT THE HELL WOULD YOU CARE?" snapped Jeron.

"Jeron!" shocked Dana.

"Jeron that is your mother you show her some respect!" said Eddie.

"Man the hell with you.  You ain't my father." said Jeron.

"Jeron what has gotten into you?  Eddie has went out of his way to put you in private school now why aren't there?" concerned Dana.

"BECAUSE I DROPPED OUT ALRIGHT!!!  I HATED HERE!  AND I DON'T WANT TO COME BACK!!!" snapped Jeron.

Meanwhile back at the Sutton household Lizzie arrived just in time to return Cassie's dress.

"Cassie?!?!" Lizzie whispered.

Lizzie searched around but Cassie wasn't nowhere in sight.  Lizzie chilled for a bit and decided to get a glass of ice tea before she returned the dress.

"Well at least the dress is in one peace." said Lizzie as she was pouring the glass.

As Lizzie was pouring the glass she heard Cassie's voice!

"LIZZIE!!!!" shouted Cassie.

Lizzie freaked out and accidently spilled the ice tea all on Cassie's dress.

"Oh no." said Lizzie.

Lizzie grabbed put her jacket back on to cover the dress.  Soon Cassie barged in.

"Cassie hi!" said Lizzie.

"Hi Lizzie what's the idea hanging up on me like that?" anger Cassie.

"My phone got cut off." said Lizzie.

"Yeah right!  You know I went up to my room and my white dress is missing from my closet.  Do you know anything about that?" asked Cassie suspiciously.

"What white dress?" denied Lizzie.

"Don't act dumb with me!  Did you do it?" asked Cassie.

"Do what?" asked Lizzie.

"Take my dress!" said Cassie.

"What gave you that idea?" said Lizzie as she tries to avoid Cassie.

"Because I know you Lizzie." said Cassie.

"I have no idea what you're talking about?" said Lizzie as she tried to escape.

"Where are you going?" said Cassie blocking the doorway.

"Nowhere because you are in the way." annoyed Lizzie.

Soon Charles came in the kitchen.

"Hey Lizzie you made it home." said Charles.

"Hey Chuck!  Looks like you and Cassie want to be alone so I'm going to be upstairs." said Lizzie.

"Don't tried to change the subject!" interrupted Cassie.

"I know where this is going and I am out of here.  Cassie I call you later." said Charles leaving.

As soon as Charles left Lizzie ran upstairs and Cassie chased after her.

"YOU KNOW SOONER OR LATER YOU GONNA HAVE TO TAKE THAT JACKET OFF!!!" said Cassie chasing Lizzie.

They ran all over the house until Cassie caught Lizzie.

"I know you got my dress on now take off that jacket or I'm going to take it off for you!" threaten Cassie.

Soon Lizzie took the jacket off and Cassie saw her dress Lizzie was wearing and ice tea stain on it.

"MY DRESS!!!!" shouted Cassie.

"Sorry Cassie." said guilty Lizzie.

"LIZZIE I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" angered Cassie.

"Cassie I said I was sorry." said Lizzie.

"NO YOU'RE NOT...YOU'RE SELFISH & YOUR CARELESS!!!" snapped Cassie.

"I'M SELFISH!!!! THAT'S FUNNY COMING FROM A PERSON WHO THINKS THE WORLD EVOLVE AROUND HER AND LEFT HER CHILDREN BEHIND TO GO AWAY WITH HER BOYFRIEND FOR ALMOST A YEAR!!!!" snapped Lizzie.

"DON'T YOU DARE BRING THE TWINS INTO THIS I LOVE THEM VERY MUCH AND YOU KNOW IT!!!" angered Cassie.

"You could've fooled me!" said Lizzie.

"WATCH IT LIZZIE!!!!" warned Cassie.

"What's the matter I must've struck cord in you or something." said Lizzie.

"Lizzie you're already in trouble so you better watch you mouth." angered Cassie.

"Why?  The truth must hurt doesn't it? Lizzie being smart.

"Lizzie you really pushing it. You have 10 minutes to take my dress off or I really get angry." said Cassie as she shoved Lizzie.

"Hey don't shove me!" as Lizzie shove Cassie back.

"I'll shove whatever I want." said Cassie as she shove Lizzie.

"Stop it!" yelled Lizzie.

"Make me!" snapped Cassie.

Minutes later the two started fighting it got vicious.  Soon Nate walked in and saw Cassie choking Lizzie.

"HEY HEY HEY HEY BREAK IT UP BREAK IT UP YOU TWO!!!" As Nate pulled Cassie and Lizzie apart.

"YOU'RE CRAZY!!!" snapped Lizzie.

"SERVE YOU RIGHT!!!" ANGERED Cassie.

"ALRIGHT THAT'S ENOUGH...WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO? HAVE YOU TWO LOST Y'ALL DAMN MINDS!?!?! snapped Nate.

Two try to explain to Nate what has happened but they continued arguing soon Eddie and Jenn came in the house with Kendra.  And they saw Nate trying to control a fueding Cassie and Lizzie.

"Alright the parents are here now what going on around here?" asked Jenn.

"I was reading my book until I heard screaming & yelling.  Go to find out those two were trying to kill each other." said Nate.

"SAY WHAY!?!?!" shocked Eddie.

"Cassie! Lizzie! Is that true?" shocked Jenn.

"Mom she took my dress without asking and ruined it and then she insulted my children." angered Cassie.

"Well you shoved me!" said Lizzie.

"Alright that's enough you two!   I want both of you to head upstairs now." said Eddie.

"Both dad!" said Lizzie and Cassie in unison.

"You heard what your father said...march.  Lizzie take that dress off now and both of you stay in your rooms until we call you. We have other problems of our own." said Jenn.

"Yes mom." said Cassie and Lizzie in unison.

"I'm tired you always getting me in trouble.  I'm 18 they need to stop treating me like a child." mumble Cassie.

"You don't act like it." said Lizzie.

"Shut up!" said Cassie.

"Hey I said that's enough out of you two." warned Jenn.

"I see you have family problems I've better leave you two alone." said Kendra.

"Oh no we're not threw with you yet!  You just your little fast butt down. We are going to have a very serious talk." said Jenn

Kendra sat down while Eddie and Jenn try to get a hold of themselves and turn there focus on Kendra.

"Girl what is your problem?" asked Jenn.

"Why would you care?" asked Kendra being smart.

"Little girl we have gone out of our way to have you stay here for awhile at least you could do show us some respect." said Eddie.

"Sorry!" mumble Kendra.

"Now why did you run away and pull a crazy stunt at the store?" asked Jenn.

"I dunno." said Kendra.

"Kendra it has to be a reason.  You know if you wanted those things we could've bought you those items." said Jenn.

"Wanna bet!" muttered Eddie.

"Eddie please let me handle this." said Jenn.

"Fine." said Eddie.

"I got bored I guess.  I had nothing else to do." said Kendra.

"Kendra there are alot plenty great things to do with your life but shoplifting isn't one of them.  I take it you have done this before am I right?" asked Jenn.

"Maybe once or twice." said Kendra.

"Well all of that is going to change." said Jenn.

"You are lucky that these ppl are willing to drop the charges against.  Do you realize how much trouble you would've been.  Nower kids your age do these type of crime are often tried as an adult.  Time has change.  This day in age they are willing to lock kids up in jail." said Eddie.

"I know that..now and I'm sorry. I'm really am.  And it won't happen again. I promise." said Kendra.

"I'm glad to hear now I want to know why did you run away like that.  Don't you want to meet your relatives?  They are willing to keep you." said Jenn.

"No I'm not." said Kendra.

"Why not?" asked Eddie.

"Because all my life I've been let down and disappointed.  Me and my brother been led by promises and hope and it always turn out to disappointments." Kendra confess.

"Oh I see.  The truth has finally come out. Is that why you and brother left the center & lived on the streets?" asked Jenn.

"Perhaps.  We've been foster after foster homes but nobody want us.  Then my brother turned 18 and they say they no longer put him in a foster home or adopt because I'm still a minor they could find a home for me.  They were going to seperate us." said Kendra.

"And you two bailed." said Eddie.

"And this probably led to your drinking?" asked Jenn.

"Yeah I guess." said Kendra.

"I'm really sorry to hear Kendra.  But all of that change now." said Jenn.

"How would you know?" asked Kendra.

"Because those people are actually related to you and want to take you in." said Jenn.

"If they care about me and my brother so much how come they never came for us?" asked Kendra.

"They've been looking for you too for ages.  They never gave up." said Jenn.

"Look unfortunately it's too  late for you brother but you know have the opportunity and the advantage Kendra.  Don't you know that?" asked Eddie.

"I guess." said Kendra.

"I know things has been difficult for you but now you have an opportunity to turn your life around but to do that you have to start trusting people again.  And more importantly to get some type of help.  Otherwise you are going to end up like your brother or worse.  Now we both know you don't want that do you." said Eddie.

"No." said Kendra silently.

"And Kendra we are all behind you 100% me, Eddie, Nate, Tay, Cassie." said Jenn.

"Even Lizzie?" asked Kendra.

"Yes even Lizzie." laughed Jenn.

"So are you willing to give this a try?" asked Eddie.

"I don't know about this but if you guys think this is best..." said Kendra.

"Oh trust me we know it is best." said Eddie.

"Alright then I'll take a chance." said Kendra.

"Good now that's they way I like to hear you talking." said Eddie.

"So are we leaving now?" asked Kendra.

"No you can stay one last night hang with Lizzie after Lizzie is going to need a friend right now.  We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning." said Jenn.

"Okay thanks Mr. & Mrs. Sutton." said Kendra leaving kitchen.

"Oh and one more thing don't think you're going unpunished because you & Jeron will pay for the stolen item." said Eddie.

"We spoke with the store manager you will be working part time for the next few weeks." said Jenn.

"Damn!" muttered Kendra leaving the kitchen.

"Now that problem is solved now to deal with the forever fueding Sutton sisters.  Cassie, Lizzie downstairs now!!!!" said Jenn.

Cassie and Lizzie was in the livingroom sitting down when Eddie and Jenn arrived.

"I want to know why were you two fighting like that?" asked Jenn.

The two squabble trying to tell their story.

"HEY! One at a time." yelled Eddie.

"Cassie you're first." said Jenn.

"Mom why does she has to go first?" whined Lizzie.

"Because I said so." Jenn responded.

"Mom you know how I feel about Lizzie taking clothes out of my room.  Well she went and took one of my dress I have made and she ruined it." said Cassie.

"Lizzie is that true?" asked Jenn.

"And Lizzie in case you are getting ready lie let me remind you that you are holding the evidence." said Eddie as he pointed the dress Lizzie was holding.

"Yes but mom Cassie shoved me and crazy one me." said Lizzie.

"I'm not sure you if I made myself clear or not there are two things we do not do in this house one we don't take things without asking and two you don't try to kill another member of this family in this house.  Now you Lizzie you may not go out on any dates for the next two weeks and Cassie you cannot used my car for the next two weeks." said Jenn.

"Mom I'm eighteen!!!" said Cassie.

"Yes an eighteen year old with two kids." said Eddie.

"Cassie if you want us to start treating you like an adult you have got to start acting like one.  And as an adult you don't attack your younger sister.  You try to set a good example for her.  You know better than that.  Now I want you both apologize." said Jenn.

Cassie and Lizzie reluntantly apologize to each other.

"Now Lizzie I want you to give Cassie back her dress." said Jenn.

"Hear's you funky dress." said Lizzie as she threw at Cassie.

"QUIT IT MOM!!!!" shouted Cassie.

Jenn handed Lizze the dress.

"Give it back nicely." said Jenn.

"Hear." said Lizzie handing Cassie the dress.

"Great now not only I have to get the stain out but now I got it get it dry clean." said Cassie.

"Okay the cleaning bill is coming straight out of your allowance Lizzie." said Jenn.

"Cassie you may leave." said Jenn.

"Thank you!  First thing tomorrow I am getting a pad lock for my closet." said Cassie leaving.

As soon as Cassie left Eddie and Jenn look down at Lizzie.

"Lizzie what has gotten into you?  I have never seen you behave like that before." said Jenn.

"Mom I haven't seen Andrew in a long time.  And he planned something very special for us.  So I had to look nice for him." explained Lizzie.

"And you couldn't find any clothes of your own to wear?" asked Eddie sarcasticly.

"Andrew seen me in those.  Cassie dress is the only one I wanted to wear." said Lizzie.

"Oh lord first Cassie drooling over Charles now you over Andrew.  What is it with you tw?  You girls act like these boys are a drug and you need your next fixed." annoyed Eddie.

"Eddie please! Look Lizzie I understand you care about Andrew and you are growing up.  But when someone tells you not to go and their room take things without asking that's stealing.  You have got to stop doing that.  You need to start respecting your sister's space and her things.  You understand?" explained Jenn.

"Yes I understand and it won't happen again.  I promised." said Lizzie.

"Good!" said Jenn hugging Lizzie.

"Now that's the Lizzie I know." said Eddie.

Lizzie smile.

The two left the room and went downstair to the kitchen.

"Well we finally got those situation out of the way." said Jenn.

"Yeah but I have more situation to take care of." said Eddie.

"What's that Eddie?" asked Jenn.

"Jeron!  I went out of my way to help this boy.  I gave this boy an opportunity of a lifetime and he turns around and pull this stunt." said Eddie.

"Eddie you tried.  There is no hope for this boy." said Jenn.

"Now Jenn there is always hope." said Eddie.

"Eddie, I know your heart is in the right place.  But you have got to face reality you cannot continued to help someone that don't want to be help.  I'm sorry it sad but it is true.  Jeron don't want to be helped." said Jenn.

"No Jenn there is more to it than that.  Jeron was really looking forward to private and this happens.  Something is not adding up and I'm going to get to the bottom of things." said Eddie.

"Eddie it's getting late.  It's been a long day.  Let's go to bed and gets some sleep.  We're talk about it in the morning." said Jenn.

"You're right.  First thing tomorrow after I we take Kendra to her relatives we are to stop by Dana and I am going to have a talk with you Jeron." said Eddie.

Meanwhile back at Marla's house Charles stopped by to see his mother.  Charles rang the doorbell and Dana answered the door.

"Charles what a suprise." said Dana.

"Hey Dana!" greeted Charles.

"Hey Dana?  Umm Hey is for horses." joked Dana.

"Sorry hi Dana." said Charles.

"That's more like it. Now give me my hugged I haven't seen you in how long." said Dana as she hugged Charles.

The two hugged.

"Missed you so much.  How is Cassie doing?" asked Dana.

"She doing fine She got a little situation with Lizzie as usual.  Sibling fighting so I left.  What's been going on with you?" asked Charles.

"I really don't feel like talking about it right now.  It just too crazy." said Dana.

"I see.  Does this has to do with Jeron because I saw him earlier.  Wasn't he suppose to be in private school?" asked Charles.

"Yes I just about wash my hands with this boy.  I just don't know what to do anymore.  I don't know what I have done to deserve this.  I try so hard to be a good parent." said upset Dana.

"You are a good parent." said Charles.

"You just saying that." said Dana.

"Hey you did a great job looking after us that summer when we were at the beach house." said Charles.

"That was different Charles." said Dana.

"You are a good parent and I've seen worst parenting trust me." said Charles.

"Thanks Charles.  There got to be a reason why you're here especially at this kind of night." said Dana.

"Oh actually I came to see my mom is she here?  There's a lot we need to talk about." said Charles.

"Like what?" asked Dana.

"Bill." said Charles.

"Well she's not home right now Charles." said Dana.

"Why I'm not suprise." said Charles.

"Charles that's not fair.  Your mother loves you but you know she has to live her life." said Dana.

"Yeah but does she always has live her life with the wrong people.  Especially Bill?" asked Charles.

"Bill now what do you have against him?" asked Dana.

"Bill is not who he appears to be." said Charles.

Dana was confused.

"What are you talking about Charles?" asked Dana.

"Bill is not running on a full tank.  He's wired!!!!  He's crazy!." said Charles.

"Charles don't you think your're exaggerating just a tad bit?" asked Dana.

"No him and his niece got problems.  Yesterday I as I returned to my apartment, Bill was there and he nearly beat me to death." said Charles.

"Wait a minute that doesn't sound like Bill at all.  Are you sure it wasn't somebody else Charles?" concerned Dana.

"Dana the man had it in for me from the beginning.  Ever since I have gotten involved with Giselle." said Charles.

"What did you do Charles?" asked Dana.

"Nothing honest!" said Charles.

"Have you told your mother yet?" asked Dana.

"I tried but you know her.  That's one of the reasons why I'm here." said Charles.

Moment later Marla return head over heels

"Awww what an evening." said delighted Marla.

"Marla where have you been?" asked Dana.

"With Bill of course.  That man is wonderful." said Marla.

"Mom hello!?!?" siad Charles.

"Charles you finally made it." said Marla hugging Charles.

"Mom did you talk to Bill?" asked Charles.

"Bill & I have very interesting convosation as usual." said Marla

"Did you at asked about what happened?" asked Charles.

"Yes Charles we talked about that.  And he said you must've mistaken him for someone else.  He was never in your apartment nor attakced you." said Marla.

"THAT"S BULL!!!!!  He's lyin'" snapped Charles.

"Charles, Bill is a sweet person he would never do a thing like that." said Marla.

"Mom, I'm not lyin it was Bill." said Charles.

"Charles you must've been really tired and mistaken him for someone else.  Look the first thing tomorrow we head down to police station and file a report." said  Marla.

"Jesus Christ it's always the same everytime you have a man in your life, you always them over your own son." said Charles.

"Charles that's not fair." said Marla.

"Look guys lets not argue over this.  You two haven't seen each other in so long don't ruined it over something like this." said Dana.

"You right it's getting late." said Marla.

"I'll better be heading back home." said Charles.

"Don't be ridiculous Charles you are staying here.  There are alot you and your mother need to discuss in the morning." said Dana.

"Huh?" stunned Marla.

"Look Charles just returned from a long trip you need to spend some time with your son.  Besides after what has happened to him I don't want returning and risk getting hurt again or worst." said Dana.

"Alright Alright Charles I'm sorry this is no way for us start off.  Why don't stay the night and we'll talk about this in the morning." said Marla.

"Promise?" Charles said.

"I'm promised!" said Marla.

"I'll get your room ready." said Dana.

The next day the Cassie, Tay and Lizzie was up and getting ready for school especially Cassie she was looking forward getting back to the swing of things.

"Come on Cassie!  Can't you please give me and Andrew a ride in your car to school?" begged Lizzie.

"For the last time Lizzie NO!!!!!" said Cassie.

"But Cassie I said I was sorry about the dress." said Lizzie.

"And you lucky I didn't kill you for ruining it.  Besides I need to take the twins to daycare." said Cassie.

"Look like you ladies are ready for school." said Eddie.

"I can't speak for Lizzie but I know I'm ready I've been away for too long." said Cassie.

"I don't why you that excited school is almost over and you probably won't graduate on time seeing that you been away for so long." said Lizzie.

"For your information smarty pants the teachers gave Charles and I school work to work on while we were in Hawaii so we won't be far behind and we can graduate on time.  We just turned in our work a couple days ago." said Cassie.

"That's great Cassie." said Jenn.

"Thanks what I'm really looking forward to is the senior prom." said Cassie.

"I hope your prom turn out better than last time." said Lizzie.

"Please don't remind me.  That prom was a disaster.  Sage winning prom queen, Tay going to my prom..." said Cassie.

"Excuse me!?!? Me at your prom was the best thing that has ever happened." said Tay.

"Yeah right!" said Cassie as she rolled her eyes.

"Let me remind you that I was the one who rescued you when you were almost abducted by Mack." said  Tay.

Suddenly Eddie and Jenn saw Tay was wearing a jacket and with no shirt on.

"Boy what are you wearing?" shocked Eddie.

"Some new threads I put together. Since I'm a famous r&b singer I may as well look it.  It turns the girls on." said Tay.

"Well it make me want to vomit." said Lizzie.

"Whatever I just want to show the ladies my chest." said Tay flexing.

"First you got to grow a chest." said Cassie.

"Tay you really not going out looking like that are you?" asked Jenn.

"Why you don't like it?" asked Tay.

"NO!!!!" said The Sutton family in unison.

"Tay I know you got more sense than that now go upstairs and put a shirt on right now." said Eddie.

"But dad I want to be like all the singers." said Tay.

"You are not like all the singers." said Eddie.

"But dad!" whined Tay.

"Your father's right you go upstairs right now and dress like you have got some sense." said Jenn.

"Oh alright." said Tay as he head upstars.

"What is wrong with that boy?" asked Eddie.

"It's called growing up.  Bye the he just like you.  I remember certain someone used to impress the ladies by having a jeri curl." said Jenn.

"Wait a minute dad used to have jeri curl." laughed Cassie.

"What's the heck is a jeri curl?" asked Lizzie.

"A Jeri curl was the style back in the 80s.  People used plenty of activator to make their hair curly which caused plenty of problems. Tonic dripping all over the couch cushion and a paticular grease fire incident which your father tried to cook for me on our first date.  He got a little too close to the fire and hit wasn't a pretty sight." said Jenn.

Cassie and Lizzie started laughing.

"It wasn't that funny." mumble Eddie.

"You have to admit Eddie when your hair caught on fire you were screaming and crying like a baby." laughed Jenn.

"The reason it's funny because it hasn't happened to you." said Eddie.

"I still love you Eddie." said Jenn.

Soon Nate came downstairs with Kendra with her clothes packed up and ready to go.

"So Kendra are you ready to go?" asked Jenn.

"I suppose so." said Kendra.

"Kendra trust me it's for the better and you need to be in a decent home." said Jenn.

"Well this is it!  Thank you for letting me stay here for awhile.  I almost feel a home." said Kendra.

"You know you are always welcome here." said Eddie.

"Thanks!  Lizzie it was great having you as a roomate."said Kendra.

"You know having you around wasn't so bad either." said Lizzie as she and Kendra both hug.

Then Tay went back downstairs with a shirt on.

"So long Tay.  I really going to miss you." said Kendra.

"Kendra we go to the same school." said Tay.

"I know but 24 hours is still so long away." said Kendra as she kissed Tay on the cheeks.

"Take care Natalie.  And Colin and Kalie listen to your mother." said Kendra.

"Don't worry they will." said Cassie as she hugged the twins.

"Come on we better get going." said Nate.

"Eddie you're coming with us?" asked Jenn.

"No I have to go see Dana so I can find out what is going on with Jeron.  Keep me posted." said Eddie.

"I will.  The rest of you better get ready for school or you all be late." said Jenn.

"Okay." said Cassie, Tay, & Lizzie in unison.

As soon as Cassie walked out with the twins she saw Charles pulled up in the drive way. 

"Morning beautiful ready to go back to school?" greeted Charles as he rolled down the window.

"Back to school that is going to take some getting used to." said Cassie.

"Cassie the semester is almost over.  We are about to graduate soon." said Charles.

"I know I just got so used to not going to school." laughed Cassie.

"Well get used to going back besides we got our senior prom coming soon." said Charles.

"I hope our senior prom turn out better than last year." said Cassie.

"Don't remind me I never want to go through that again." said Charles.

"You?  I was almost abducted by your creazy stepdad." said Cassie.

"Yeah and I would never forgive myself if anything ever happened to you." said Charles.

"You mean that Charles?" asked Charles.

"Absolutely! You are my life.  We've been through so much.  And all I want for us is to move forward." said Charles and Cassie kissed.

The twins started giggling as they saw their parents kissed.

"Uh Uh what two laughing at." giggle Cassie.

"Mommy likes Daddy." said Kalie.

"No baby girl Daddy loves Mommy." said Charles.

"Come on we've better go and dropped the twins off to daycare." said Cassie.

So they drove off dropped the twins off to daycare and headed to school.  As Chassie arrived to school the two of them tried to them tried to adjust being back.  Until they saw Sage.

"Well well well guess who's finally back.  Looks like the honeymoon is finally over huh?" asked Sage.

"Nice to see you too Sage." said Cassie sarcasticly.

"You too Cassie especially you Charles.   I missed you the other night.  My bed became quite cold when you left." said Sage.

"Sage don't start.  Not now!: said Charles.

"You know Charles this is our first day back I'm not even going to let Sage get to me.  We are close to graduating and I do not wat to anything to jeopardize walking and getting my diploma." said Cassie.

"Well I really hope you two enjoyed Hawaii and doing the nasty because they cancelled the senior prom." said Sage.

"WHAT!!!!" shocked Chassie in unision.

"You're making this up." said Charles.

"They just annouced it last week." said Sage.

"Sage is this some kind of a sick joke it is not funny at all." said Cassie.

"I wish it was a joke." said Sage.

"Why did they cancel the senior prom?" asked Charles.

"Because of the earthquake we had last year.  The school have call for prepare the damages and they have to make plenty cutback and cancel alot of activities.  And unfortunately senior prom is one of them. Plus because of the incident with you almost being abducted the school refuse take anymore chances. Thanks Cassie." said Sage.

"Look it's not Cassie's fault that my stepdad is pyscho." said Charles.

"Then why did Cassie stormed out of the prom then?" asked Sage with an evil grin.

"Sage you are really testing me right now." said Cassie.

"Cassie calm down she's not worth it." said Charles.

"You're right!  God I was really looking forward to this year prom." said Cassie.

"Me too.  I was looking forward to becoming prom queen again and having Charles becoming prom king.  But then again I'm not too disappointed I did become queen last year and I dance with Charles not to mention I slept with him few times probably more times than you Cassie." said Sage.

"Sage stop." said Charles.


"Awww did I hurt you feeling Cassie?  I'm sure you accomplish a couple of things you did sleep with Charles and got yourself knocked up with twins and you had a few fake weddings and the latest will probably be fake too.  And you did have your little fake honeymoon Hawaii as well.  That should count for something.  But point is I'm better than you Cassie.  Always has and always will and Cassie there's no point and beating me because I will always come up on top.  You just a broke artist working for me at coffe shopped stuck with twins.  You will never be successful as you want.  You see that what happens when you don't keep your legs closed." said Sage.

Suddenly Cassie attacked Sage and a fight broke out.  Cassie and Sage wore both fighting then a who crowd of kids surrounded as they watched the vicious catfight until the Pricipal came and broke up fight and they were both sent to the pricipal office.

Cassie and Sage was sitting in the principal for hours and hours.  Charles and Lizzie was waiting outside the hallway esedropping.

"What do you think the principal is going to do Charles?" asked Lizzie.

"I don't know.  I really hope Cassie don't get suspended.  If she does she won't graduate." said Charles.

"I know and Mom and Dad will have a fit." said Lizzie.

Soon Cassie and Sage came out of the office with the Principal lecturing them.

"Cassie since just got back and since both you and Sage are both seniors I and about to graduate soon I'm going to let this slide with a warning.  If this happens again I won't be so nice.  Now get to class both of you." said the Principal.

"Excuse sir!" interrupted Charles.

"Yes Antoni." said the Principal.

"But is it true that their won't be a senior prom this year?" concerned Charles.

"I'm afraid so." said the Principal.

"That so not fair it's our senior year.  You can't take that away from us." said Cassie.

"Look I don't like this anymore than you kids.  But the fact of the matter the school is on a huge budget cut due to the earthquake.  We just can't afford a prom this year." said the principal.

"That's it we just don't have any senior highschool memories?" disappointed Charles.

"Look you kids are lucky enough to have a graduation ceromony." said the Principal.

"You guys always raise money to have a prom." said Lizzie.

"That's good idea but it's little bit too late.  The semester is nearly over and the kids have pretty much moved on.  I'm sorry.  Maybe you have friends at a different highschool thatyou guys can go the prom." said the Principal.

"Well this sucks." said Cassie.

"Well I'm not too upset about I'm already became prom queen last year so it's not a total lost.  Well I'm off to class." said Sage walking off.

"There's something we can do." said Cassie.

"Cassie you heard the principal there is nothing we can do.  Just be happy that we are graduating." said Charles.

"Yes but we do not deserve to lose our senior prom.  It's bad enough that the school cut the art program but now they about to take away something that I want to make up for last year disasterous prom.  Just this once Charles I want something to go our way." cried Cassie.

"Cassie this is going our way.  We're engaged,  we had a wonderful vacation of our lives.  We have two beautiful children. And most of all we'll graduating." said Charles.

"I know Charles it just that after all we have been through over the years and being in this dump we call a school we deserves better.  We deserve much better than this Charles." said Cassie as she walked off.

Lizzie started to feel bad for Cassie. And Charles was feeling helpless.  Then suddenly Lizzie had an idea that may solve all that.

"Lizzie where are you going?" asked Charles.

"To call a friend." said Lizzie.

Lizzie went to the library and make a phonecall.  Meanwhile at Seaschool Robin was eating lunch by himself until he recieved a ring on his cell.

"Hello." answered Robin.

"Hey Robin it's me Lizzie." she answered.
