When the guys returned to Paris, Max called his father and this was their conversation:
Max:
• Where are you, Dad?
John:
• At home, why?
Max:
• No, nothing.
Suddenly, Max entered and said:
• Surprise!
John:
• My son.
Max:
• I missed you so much.
John:
• I missed you too. Tell me, how was your vacation?
Max then told his father about his trip.
In Mexico…
Julia:
• Good morning, everyone.
Everyone:
• Good morning.
Julia:
• Mom, today we will finish the paperwork you wanted, Maria.
Leoniella:
• Alright, dear.
Julia:
• Shall we go now, Maria?
Maria hesitated nervously and said:
• Y-yes, let's go.
When they arrived, Maria collapsed into tears.
Julia:
• Maria.
Maria:
• No, I can't go inside.
Julia:
• We're here for you.
Maria:
• No, I don't want to.
As Maria closed her eyes, memories from her childhood with her family flooded back. She was with them in their garden at home.
Liam:
• Maria, you can't catch me.
Maria:
• Come here.
Liam:
• Mom, mom, hide me.
Maria:
• I'm tired.
The memory was interrupted by Julia shouting:
• Maria!
Maria:
• Huh? What?
Julia:
• Where did you drift off to?
Maria:
• No, it's nothing.
Julia:
• Come on, Maria. Let's go inside. Don't worry. It's just some paperwork to sell the house and take what you need, then we'll leave.
Maria:
• O-okay.
Max:
• In a week, university starts again.
Matthew:
• Is this the right time?
Max:
• What keeps me going is that it's the last year.
Matthew:
• Yes.
Max:
• Leo? Where's Leo?
Matthew:
• I don't know.
They went to the garden at Max's mansion and found Leo lying on the ground, gazing at the stars.
Max:
• Leo? What are you doing?
Leo:
• Nothing. Just looking at the stars. Come join me.
Max:
• Let's go, Matthew.
Leo:
• The stars look amazing tonight.
Max:
• Yes.
Matthew:
• Look at that big star! That's me, and the smaller ones around it are you. That means I always protect you.
Leo & Max:
• No, it's the other way around. We protect you.
Matthew:
• No, no, we protect each other. You know, I wish we were actually brothers.
Max:
• Are you crazy? Of course, we're brothers, even if our families are different.
Matthew:
• True.
Leo:
• Are you guys bored?
Matthew:
• A lot. Let's go to a party or somewhere.
Leo:
• Is that all you ever think about?
Matthew:
• So, what should we do?
Leo:
• Hmm, let's play with water.
Leo took the garden hose and soaked Max and Matthew with water.
Matthew:
• You fool.
They kept playing with water until they got tired.
John:
• Kids, come inside quickly.
Leo, Max, and Matthew:
• Alright.
When they entered the house, they started sneezing.
John:
• I knew this would happen.
Matthew:
• Leo started it.
Leo:
• Shut up.
Max:
• Quiet before he gets angrier.
John:
• Arjun, bring them towels now!
Arjun:
• Yes, sir.
John:
• When you give them the towels, come to my room.
Matthew:
• Why? See, Leo? You got us into trouble!
Leo:
• I said, shut up.
Max:
• Don't worry, he'll give us medicine so we won't get sick.
Julia:
• Mom, after tomorrow, we'll return to Paris because university starts again in a week.
Leoniella:
• There's still time, dear.
Julia:
• I know, Mom, but Maria needs to register at our university, and tomorrow is the registration day. We don't want to delay it.
Leoniella:
• As you wish, my dear.
Maria:
• I forgot to go to the university today to withdraw.
Julia:
• We'll go tomorrow.
Belle:
• Who said you forgot? I went today with Bella for that purpose when you were at your house, Maria.
Maria:
• Really?
Bella:
• Yes.
Maria:
• Thank you, thank you!
Bella:
• No need to thank, we're sisters.
Maria:
• I don't know what would've happened if you two weren't in my life.
Julia:
• We're always here for you.
Leoniella:
• Come on, girls, time to eat.
