Peri wakes the boys with urgency early the following day. There’s something that she has to do, and it can’t wait. Wade: Gran, is everything okay? Where are we going? Prosperity: Just outside. You’ll see! She leads them to a spot by the duck pond near her newly set up…
Ma and I travel with the boys to Frank D. Womp’s Mirror Maze in Copperdale. My friend Mo’s daughter, Perla, joins us. I also invited Uncle Merit’s girls, Terra and Brianna, since they are teens just like Dub – but they have yet to arrive. Me-Me also wanted to come,…

Mo and I finish our workout as Mase and Perla come from another part of the yard and crawl into the play tent. They immediately grab a few dolls and begin to act out scenarios. Around the same time, Me-Me arrives home from work and comes outside to get Drake.…
As soon as Mase arrives home with Peri, he joins Perla and Dub on the couch. But Dub and Perla are still in the middle of their conversation, so they don’t notice him immediately. Mase waves and makes his presence known. Mason: Hi. Do you remember me? I’m Mase. Perla…
