One Day The Truth Will Be Out
Ena and Ela just arrived at San Diego. The maids take their things in
Kris: Welcome to our home
Ena: This is almost like home, back at NYC
Kris: Yeah, almost.
Ela: Where are the twins? Let's meet with them already
Kris: Lila! Lola!
(Lila and Lola walk down the stars)
Lola: OMG! Aunts! (Runs to hug them)
Lila: I bet you are my flair (points to Ena)
Ena: Flair?
Lila: Yes, I probably had gotten my talent and or elegance from you
I love your style of dress and choice of dressing
Ena: (Chuckles) Talent, no. I'm an actress and chef, you're a musician.
Style and elegance, definitely. I can see you know how to style your hair, and it's just the way I like it
Lila: Exactly
Ena: Come hug me already, you talk too much
(Lila giggles and hugs her)
Ela: I love you guys already!
You know, when your Dad told us about your mom having you, we were glad
Twins like us!
And Identical too!
Ena: Yes, we have all your pictures from birth up to your present birthday
Lola: Really?
How old are we now?
Ena: 10
Lola: You're not lying then
(They all laugh)
Lila: Pizza is made, let's go dig in
Ela: And after that, we will prepare a very delicious meal for you both
Kris: How about me?
Ena: We came for them. Not for you.
(They all laugh)
Kris: Let's go up
Lola: And I will show you your rooms
Lila: You are using the two guest rooms
Lola: I said I will show them, don't tell them!
Lila: She got the rooms decorated in your favourite colours..
Lola: Lila! (Lila runs upstairs, Lola follows in pursuit)
Ena: They're just like us
Ela: They got mom's eyes
Kris: One of the reasons I keep seeing mom in them
Ena: Well, I hope they don't end up smoking and drinking like mom
Ela: That's what you can say?
Ena: Chill!
Just kidding!
Ela: Bug head
Kris: You too wanna start yours now?
(They all laugh)
Follow me lemme show you to your rooms. I bet the twins are waiting there
(They go up)

At Diego's house
Lucy: Diego, you should start going so you can come back on time
Diego: Mom, it's just 12pm
Lucy: So?
I want you home before 6pm. I would have said 4pm but I know how basketballing takes time, especially when two lovers of the sport would be playing it
Diego: (chuckles) Alright Orange
Lucy: Go change to something better, I don't want you going to that Mansion casual.
Gina: Even the casual is some people's expensive clothes
Lucy: I don't care. Where something good, yeah, your birthday clothes
Diego: Okay, okay!
Don't forget the sandwiches, they love sandwiches and I bet they will love yours better.
(Goes up)
Lucy: Okay D
Gina: This is some fun
Lucy: Fun?
Gina: Yeah, you getting all tensed about him visiting
Lucy: I'm not being tensed, this isn't the first time his visiting them
Gina: They'd come here too
Lucy: I would love that
Gina: Huh uh!
Lucy: I should call the twins' father to know if he isn't gonna forget or something
Gina: Um, I'll do that for you…..
You should go do the sandwiches
Lucy: Alright. Call him now, I wanna hear you from the kitchen
Gina: Okay
(Calls Kris, phone got picked in the second ring)
Lola: Hello Mrs Green
Gina: Aunt Gina here.
Lola: Gooday ma'am
Gina: Can I speak with your Dad?
Lola: Sure
Dad!! Dad! Come take your phone, Diego's Aunt is calling
(Few minutes later)
Kris: Hello
Gina: Good day
Kris: Good day to you too, Mrs Green
Why did Lola call you aunt?
Gina: Well, I'm Diego's Aunt
Kris: Oh okay
Gina: I just called to say he's on his way
Kris: Oh! Yeah
Um, alright. Let him come

Gina: Anything the matter? He can just stay home if you're busy
Kris: No no! I promised…

Lucy: U didn't hear your call…
Gina: Oh sorry about that

Lucy: Alright

At the twins' house
Kris: Diego's Aunt just called me Kris. Not much people know me by Kris
Could she be someone I know?
(Lola comes in)
Lola: Daddy! Aren't you done with the call?
Kris: Yes, I am
Lola: Then give it, I'm not done watching the scene you directed
Kris: Oh, yeah. Here it is. (Gives her)
Lola: Diego is on his way right?
Kris: Yes, he is
Lola: Great!
I'll show my friend to aunties. (Runs off)
Kris: The voice….. it seems oddly familiar…..
—------------
Diego: Yes mom. I'll be of good behavior and I won't let the Paparazzi get any story to write.
Lucy: Good boy
Gina: Wouldn't be bad to get a story written of
(Lucy looks sternly at her)
I'm kidding! Relax!
Lucy: Here (Brings out a phone from her purse) I got you this, use it to call when you feel the need
Diego: Really?! (Excited)
Thank you mummy! You're the best!
Lucy: It's functioning perfectly. My number and aunt Gina's number is in there, I got some games installed incase you get bored or something
But I didn't allow internet access, you know why.
(Kisses his forehead)
And incase you want an emergency answer or something, I put 'ask me' app on your phone
Diego: Thanks Mom, I really appreciate.
Lucy: Welcome
Diego: Alright mummy, I will see you later.
Aunt Gina I'll be in the car. (Goes out)
Gina: All the lessons and even a new phone? I thought you told him he's not old enough to get a phone
Lucy: I just dim it necessary
Gina: Yeah, for 'protection' (makes air quotes)
The same way you didn't allow a phone and even forbid his using of internet on his laptop because you don't want him getting to know how his father looks like
Lucy: I don't want this Lecture Gina. I'm just protecting my son from harm
Gina: Now you want to protect him? How about the time he visited them before?
Lucy: I didn't know they were popular!
And I still don't know why you refused my driving him there
Gina: Because you're a drama queen. Already performing one right now
Diego: (From outside) Aunt Gina!
Lucy: C'mon, he's calling. You should go
Gina: One day, you'll have no other option but to tell him the truth. (Leaves)
Lucy: (signs heavily) I just don't want my D to get hurt
