Cyrus: the binder?

Holliday: Uhh, well, uh ok.

Monica: Close the window honey!

Holliday: Alright.

James: Now, no one is leaving this room until we get to the bottom of this.

Holliday: Of what exactly?

James: You're gonna tell us what you were doing at the hospital today.

(music plays)

Cyrus: I'm really sorry mom, dad. I saw Holliday at school and she was having a tough time, I told her to go see Dr. Farber after school.

Holliday: Cyrus...

Monica: But when you came home you acted like you didn't know why she wasn't on the bus.

Cyrus: I wasn't sure if she wanted you to know.

James: Holliday, did you see Dr. Farber?

Holliday: No. She was with a patient. I know i shouldn't have gone without an appointment but I had a long day and I needed to talk. But Cyrus made it better.

Cyrus: I tried.

Monica: Get ready for dinner, we'll talk about this more then.

Cyrus: Dad? Can I have my homework binder back?

James: Oh, yeah, here.

(parents leave the room)

Holliday: It's weird. They're mom and dad but suddenly they seem different.

Cyrus: Yeah. I know the feeling.

Holliday: But why did they lie? Why did they make you and Birdie lie about me, and where I came from?

Cyrus: I don't know.

Holliday: How did they know about the hospital? I didn't tell anyone my name.

Cyrus: Do you think they were watching you?

(Scene change: the roof)

James: Mind if I sit with you Holliday?

Holliday: Um, sure dad. Just out here looking at the stars.

James: Sorry if me and your mom came on a little strong earlier. You've had a rough year, and it can't be easy walking into school for the first time. But if something doesn't feel right we want you to know you can come to us if somethings bothering you... Is something bothering you? Honey? We don't have secrets in this family.

Holliday: Right... no, i'm ok.

Monica: James can you pick up Birdie at soccer practice?

James: Sure! Holliday, I hope you know how much we love you. No matter what you can trust your mom and dad.

(James walks away)

Holliday: No secrets in this family, huh? How about a hoverboard? Now that's a secret. Oh so NOW you won't turn on?

Cyrus: You're gonna try to ride the hoverboard again?

Holliday: Turned on in the middle of science class but now it's dead.

Cyrus: How did you get it to turn on last time?

Holliday: I don't think I did it. I think it was that kid.

Cyrus: What kid?

Holliday: He calls himself Badger. He came to see me in the hospital a year ago and he was the one you lent me the hoverboard. He knows who I am Cyrus! Who I really am.

Cyrus: Then if there's somebody out there who knows who you are, we need to find him.

(scene change to Birdie's soccer class)

Birdie: Bye guys!

Coach: You got a ride coming birdie?

Birdie: Yeah my dad will be here soon.

Coach: Okay, i'll just be packing up the equipment.

Birdie: Thanks coach!

Badger: Hi Birdie! 'Member me?

Birdie: You're, YOU'RE BADGER! FROM THE HOSPITAL!

Badger: You've got a good memory!

Birdie: What are you doing here?

Badger: I had practice on the other field.

Birdie: I didn't see anyone else practicing?

Badger: We finished early. I saw you at school today!

Birdie: You go to my school now?

Badger: Uhh HEY I have some BBQ chips. Want some?

Birdie: Um sure. I can't believe you even remembered me. It's almost been like a year since I saw you that day at the hospital.

Badger: I've actually thought about you a lot since then; That story you told me, about the girl you pulled out of the water... It... stuck with me.

Birdie: Oh, yeah, that's holliday. She's my sister now.

Badger: Your sister... so jus-just wondering, did Holliday seem normal?

Birdie: Normal? Normal how?

Badger: Never mind.

Birdie: Wait, do you know something about Holliday? About her past?

Badger: Do me a favor, don't tell anyone you saw me.

Birdie: Why? Wait, who are you? You don't really go to my school do you?

Badger: I'll see you around Birdie.

Birdie: \*gasp\* How is he so fast?!
