It was a somewhat normal morning for the thundermans, peaceful even, everybody woke up early, now everybody was at the dining room, eating their morning pancakes, drizzled with syrup and topped off with blueberries and whipped cream, with a side of bacon and orange juice. The family was telling Chloe stories of before they came to hiddenvile, which gave chloe the bright idea to ask, 

“Well, what about Billy's life? You guys aren't talking about it as much as phoebe or Max's life, why's that? Tell me a story of his life!” Chloe suggested with enthusiasm and caution, why were they being so secretive about Billy?

Everybody stopped eating, Nora and hank's food-filled forks almost lauching in their open mouths, max and phoebe looking anywhere but Chloe, suddenly finding other stuff around them fascinating, barb looked uncomfortable, and Billy? The speedster was eating like his life depended on it. He replied with his mouth filled to the brim with food, 

"Good point, chloe, heck, even i don't remember my own childhood! But, i remember snippets, like when i witnessed max blowing up his room, or, mom and dad figuring out Nora had laser-eyes when, she lasered dad's butt. But ask phoebe if you're so interested, she remembers everything,”

Phoebe gulped, `shit! Really, Billy? Right now, I can't tell you!ʼ phoebe thought internally, how was she supposed to explain this? Ah, she'll avoid it! 

“It's a long story, Chloe. I wish I could tell you now, but, we all have school. Here, long story short, it was hectic, like, really hectic, I'll tell you more.... after we get home,” Phoebe said, elbowing a snorting max.

“well, that's fine, I guess, sure!” Chloe said, skeptical, but excited to hear about Billy's life. 

Everybody continues with eating their pancakes and bacon, while eating, max looked at phoebe mouthing `you caused it,ʼ max was then, elbowed again.

After everyone ate, max and phoebe headed to school first(well, max was dragged before he could tell Chloe everything), Nora and Billy were next, heading to their school, Chloe couldn't teleported to max, who had her answers, as they were outside.

Phoebe and max opened the door to their classroom, what they saw, made max almost jump at his feet, while it made phoebe almost faint.

There stood Diego and Samantha Vailerain. Talking to cherry, Phoebe's cherry. There they were. The past the thundermans tried to erase. The Vailerains

Cherry stopped talking mid-conversation when she saw phoebe and max enter. She started walking to them and said, 

"Hey, guys! We have two new transfers! Diego and Samantha Vailerain, they are soooo hot—" Cherry said, fangirling already, but before she could continue her fangirling, phoebe said,

"Ew, cherry, no." Phoebe said as she shuddered with disgust visible on her beautiful face. Breathing in a sigh, she turned her head to max, who scoffed, knowing what phoebe wanted.

"I am not on your side, phoebe. I'm not sorry that I'm thrilled they're here, because you caused it." Max said with disdain dripping like venom. He started walking back to his seat, where Wolfgang and the others waited for him.

"Maximus Octavius Thunderman! I'm not done talking—" Phoebe called out to him in anger, but before she could continue her sentence, max had talked over her, saying,

"Oh, shut up and fuck off, phoebe! I. Don't. Care." Max said, turning around to glare at her, going sitting down.

"What's up with him? He seems.... Off." Cherry commented, she wasn't wrong, the most nonchalant guy telling his sister to shut up and fuck off was weird, even for max.

"Nothing, cherry...! It's kind of personal." Phoebe told cherry, but she soon felt a tap on her shoulder, when she looked, fuck, Diego and Samantha Vailerain were next to her.

"Hey, phoebe Thunderman." Diego said with a grin. His soft, fluffy brown hair and pale skin was what made Billy look at him all the time. His slender fingers, the same ones that Billy always held. The smile, fuck, Diego still looked good.

Max sighed, of course, phoebe was upset about this, he wasn't! He was thrilled, him and Diego were bestfriends, why should he be upset that their here? because he caused the reason they had to move?  But, phoebe did have a point, mom and dad wouldn't be happy about this— 

"Max! Max! Are you even listening to me?" phoebe practically yelled in his ear, fuck, he must've zoned out. 

"yeah, yeah, just—refresh what you were saying—whatever." max said in his usual tone. Until the two of them heard two pairs of footsteps walking towards them. Fucking hell.

"hey, max. Hey, phoebe. How's Billy? Does he still not remember me?" a familiar voice said, fuck, Diego Vailerain. Billy's babysitter. Beside him was his sister, Sam—or, Samantha, whatever—but, they were grinning. Diego had soft, fluffy, wavy brown hair, brown eyes. Sam had the same looks, except her hair was much longer, and she wore makeup. Nora's babysitter.

"you won't mind if we hang out at you're guys' house, right? Afterall, we're friends. Right?" Sam said, she was always so cunning.

".... Fine, just.... Stay away from billy." max said, phoebe shot him a look, a 'I'm going to kill you, max!' look.

"no promises, how could I stay away from someone so adorable?" Diego was still the same boy, the boy who'd obsess over Billy.

"fuck, this is trouble,"

"and I hate it—" 

"—like it." max and phoebe said in unison. Of course, phoebe hated having villains in the house, while max loved having villains in the house.
