"Time to load up and return to the Arena and make sure everything is packed and ready to go troups." Walker said. "Ready Daddy. I have Zoe." Jessy said. "Ready Dad. Me too!" Mackie said from Zac's shoulders. "I'm ready Daddy and Jessie's hanging with me." Chele said. "Girl Power" Jessie said high fiving Chele. "I've got Avie! No I think Avie has me. Chele help!" Taylor cried as Avie crawled up his back. "I'm ready Dad and I've got hold of Monica." Isaac said grabbing Monica who squealed. "Move out" Dad said and they headed to the van for the trip back to the buses and semis, to see that everything was loaded. Soon the little black Mustang convertible roared up to the buses with both Moms still laughing. "Looks like someone had fun." Walker said. "I had a blast." Diana said. "Returned in one piece. Jessy get that Zac of yours and unload your life from my trunk. Chele get your smitten fella and get your stuff. Isaac and Monica there are groceries on the back seat. Walker kiss your wife. And you kids, meet me under that tree for watermelon. Run. Yes you run, run, run." Momma squealed after Zoe. "My blades. Thanks Momma." Jessy screamed. "Mine too. Hey and yours Momma." Chele said. "Yep. Thought we'd skate at least twice this summer. Nice big rink here." Momma answered cutting watermelon. They sat under the tree eating watermelon and visiting. "You two clean that one up and then you come blading. Man Zoe girl, did you get any in you." Momma asked and ducked as she came after her with her sticky hands. "I may act like a kid but I don't get dirty like one. Eww! Sticky girl." Momma laughed. "Come on Zoe I love Sticky girls." Jessy said picking her up and taking her in to change. "I'll clean up the mess." Chele said gathering the rinds and bowl and headed to the garbage. "This is heaven having grown daughters. They're good girls." Walker said. "Yes they are and if I don't get them back that way, I'm coming after you two." she said and then pointed at Taylor and Zac. "Got it." Momma asked. "Yes ma'am" they answered. "You kids want to skate?" Momma asked and everyone went to find their blades. "I better go help." Diana said. "No don't. Jessy and Chele have to learn. I mean you two take a break. What am I saying, save your energy to deal with all the hurt feelings, he and she battles, you two are going to have to deal with. You'll be wishing you just had to supervise the kids finding their blades. Sit and relax, unless you skate?" Momma said getting up and heading to the car and she pulled it into the opening, opened the doors and popped the trunk and hit the player and "Live from Albertane" blared. Momma put on her blades and skated to "With You In Your Dreams". "Wow your Mom is good. That probably makes you good." Zac said as they put on their blades. Jessy was done first and she whisked up Zoe and skated her to Mom and Daddy. "Here Zoe you play here. I'm going to skate with Momma." Jessy said as she bladed off catching up and getting in step with her. "My song" Chele squealed and got her blades on a raced out to join the two for "A Minute Without You" and they flew. They went goofy to "Money" and Jarrod and the guys came to laugh. "Isaac come watch, hurry." Jessy called as she and Chele skated away and Momma skated to "More Than Anything". "What Jessy?" Isaac asked. "Momma loves your song." she said pointing. "Wow I never knew it was that good." Isaac said as he watched her glide over the parking lot with such expression and emotion. They were all applauding when "Mmmbop" started and she them got all skating. Soon Momma, Jessy and Chele had everyone bopping. Then they started a conga line and everyone joined, even Jarrod and Mark. Momma sat out talking to Diana making plans for their next adventure. "You're leaving aren't you?" Diana asked. "Yeah if I don't go now, I won't be able to leave them. A summer of only boys. God what did I do." Barbara said. "Momma come on Please" Jessy and Chele begged to the begining bars of "Gimme Some Lovin" and she joined them for one last skate. "I think she was honest when she told Zoe she acts like a kid. Look at her shake. She's older than me." Diana exclaimed. The girls showed off to "Shake A Tail Feather" and when Gimme came back Momma told the girls she was leaving. "No" they cried. "Gotta girls, if I stay any longer, I'll end up taking you back with me and I know you don't really want to." Momma said as she skated off. Tears flowed down their faces as they slowed and grabbed hands for strength. "Jessy what's the matter?" Zac asked. "Oh Zac she's leaving." Jessy said turning to skate backwards and hang onto him while she cried. "Chele what's up with Jessy. Hun what's wrong?" Taylor asked and she pointed. "Oh she's leaving. I'm sorry it hurts you, but I'm so glad you're staying." Taylor said wrapping an arm around her. "I hate goodbyes, so see ya later and take care of my girls. Enjoy them. They're special." Barbara said as she started the car and blared "Born In The USA" peeled out and waved, jamming gears and making tracks. Jessy kept skating, even long after everyone else quit. "Jessy come on you must be tired." Zac said. "Zac I think she said goodbye for good. Like I'll never come home again." Jessy said. "Maybe she knows, I don't want you to ever leave me." Zac said. Jessy laid her head on his shoulder, "Me either."
