Liz was playing in the courtyard with Lucky when Max and Serena found her. She looked at them knowing that they had bad news.
"What is it?" Asked Liz
"Dad's farm is gone." Said Serena
"What do you mean?" Asked Liz
"Liz, whoever is poisoning the farms hit your father's last night. They used a more toxic poison burning the land won't help it." Said Max
"What will happen to my dad?" Asked Liz
"I have sent someone to bring him here. He will be given a job as the farming adviser and a home here." Said Max
"Thank you Max." Said Liz
"I have things to take care of. I will leave you two to visit and play with the puppy." Said Max
"By the way Max, thank you for Lucky." Said Liz
"You're welcome. I just hope he doesn't get too use to sleeping curled up with you."
Max walked off leaving the sisters alone.
"He gave you his puppy?" Asked Serena
"Yeah. But I got the feeling you had something to do with it."
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"Yeah right."
"So what if I did? Liz, I want you happy. Max, makes you happy."
"Rena, how much do you know about bonding?"
"Liz are you scared to bond with Max?"
"Well the emotional and mental part no."
"It's the physical part right?"
"Yeah. What if I can't satisfy him?"
"Liz, he loves you, and unless I am wrong you love him."
"You're not."
"Have you told him?"
*Not out loud.*
"You know I have always hated when you do that."
"I get the feeling Max does."
"Yeah I bet. Liz, talk to him about your fears."
"Ok. By the way when did you get so smart?"
"I have always been smart. You just never noticed. You just thought of me as a pest."
"I am sorry about that. But don't ever doubt my love for you."
"I never have. I am sorry I was so bitchy with you last year when you came back to visit."
"Rena, forget about it. We had worst fights when we were younger."
"Like the time I turned your hair blue?"
"Yeah. Dad was not happy about that."
"It took you forever to turn it back to normal."
"Well, physical powers of any kind have never been my strongest."
"Just like mental aren't my strongest. But they are getting stronger."
"That's good."
"So what does Max think of you being Dr. Dolittle?"
"It surprised him. Though I don't think he knows the story."
"I brought the book. So maybe he would like to read it."
"Maybe."

Max watched the two girls as Lucky laid by them.
"You are doing the right thing bringing their father here. Jeffrey Parker is a good man. He is perfect for the farming adviser."
"Thanks dad."
"Don't worry Elizabeth is close to being able to complete the bond with you."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Good. Now we just have to find out who is destroying the eastern farms."
"It is being looked into. When I find out they will be punished."
Max turned to look at his father and knew he wouldn't want to be the vandal.
