"They're back," Chase simply said. "Our Moms actually came back."

"He felt so guilty when Boost died racing him, and when Maven got sick when she heard, he only felt worse... He only comes by once in a while; I guess because he still hasn't let it go." The kids dearly loved visits from their estranged uncle, but his visits were so brief and so sporadic, Edward was afraid the attachment would fade as they got older.

Krill gave his cousin a look. "They've been gone for 25 years now. Why would they come back? I'll only believe it when I see it, but if you're just wasting my time with telling me nonsense..."
~~~~~
"Oh..." Ebony again looked at the ground, "It sounds like he's become me... I bet he blames me for disappearing... I-I never meant to hurt him or Mave... I feel like apologizing three-times over..."

"Why would I lie about something like that," Chase said. "If you seriously doubt me, ask my mom. She's at Mave's place. EJ's gone after yours."

Edward shrugged a little. "He doesn't talk about you much when he comes. He was hurt by your disappearance, but so was everyone else. There's only one way to fix it. But now that we know what happened, maybe convincing him will be easier."

Krill pursed his lips. "I'll talk to her, but I don't want to stress out Mave. It'll have to be at the diner."
~~~~~
"If I can just have a chance to talk to him, I'll feel better," Ebony said, now feeling that she had enough strength and courage to go back to town.

He nodded. "Who knows; that might be all that's needed. Maven's worried about you; we should get back."

"Al'ight," Chase said. "I'll get her out there. 'Hey... Um... Mom...',Chase sent out to Phoenix, it felt kind of awkward calling her that.
'Yes...' She sent back.
'Can you come out to the diner for a bit. Someone wants to talk', Chase asked.
There was silence for a moment. 'I'm on my way...'.
Chase snapped back to reality and turned to Krill. "Done."

Ebony nodded, standing up at last. "Yeah, I think it's time I faced the music, instead of running away from it. I'm ready to go back."
~~~~~
"Okay..." Krill nodded, "You know, that still unnerves me whenever you do that."

Edward nodded, smiling. He waited for her to pull up beside him so they could drive back together.
(Aaaaaaand... I have work. Should be on tonight, though.)

"It was the best I could do without Mave figuring out what I was doing," Chase said as a mirror twitched as he heard Phoenix's engine approach.

Ebony started her engine and pulled by beside EJ, heading back to town with him so that she could face her own demons from the past.
~~~~~
"Mave's still being difficult to please, I bet," said Krill, as he heard through his sharp-tuned senses another engine approaching, "She's almost like Mom."

"It would be a lot better if you were in town a bit more," Chase said as Phoenix pulled into diner.
Phoenix blinked as she saw the green Viper with him. "Krill..."

(((((OOC: I was out in my garden just now... I think I grow more tomatoes than anything else...)))))
Krill sighed, "I'm a tuner. I have to stay on the road a lot."
He turned when Phoenix pulled up and spoke his name and looked at her for a moment. "So it's true, then," he said, sounding a bit unsympathetic, "You're back. Do you realize how long it's been?"

"Yes I do," Phoenix said. "And it really wasn't our fault we've been gone. Its a back-fired spell."
