But they are not us. And one of them is missing.
Come on, what's wrong with this thing? I was just starting to get the hang of it. Okay, just the docks. Not creepy at all. Hello? Cyrus, is that you? Hello? I can see you on the pier. Whoever you are. Um, my brother's right behind me, so if you try anything... Happy first birthday, Holiday. Wait, I know you. You're the boy in the hospital.
The one who flew by my window. Now you can fly too. Were you on a hoverboard? I told you I'd be back in a year. You put the board under my bed. You picked it up real fast, didn't you? What do you want? I came here to warn you. We couldn't keep you hidden forever. They're coming for you, Holiday. Who is coming for me? Your family. My what? My family is back at- Not them. I mean your real family. I don't understand. What real family? What about my parents and Cyrus and Bertie? That's my brother.
Stop the riddles. Tell me what's going on. What's your name? Holiday! They call me... Badger. Don't tell your brother about me. Don't tell anyone. They're all lying to you anyway. But why? I'll find you again. Soon. I promise. Don't. Say. Anything. Hi, Dr. Farber. It's me, Holiday, coming to you live from the roof again. It's early morning before school, my first day of school. Another thing I don't remember ever doing before.
So I guess I've been waiting for this day like forever. Kinda dreading it too. So there's that. At our last therapy session, I promised I'd tell you how my birthday went. Well, last night was... To be honest, I have no idea what last night was. It's like the world has gone crazy. You ever have that feeling that you... Don't know who you can trust anymore. I mean... Holiday breakfast! Gotta go, Doc. Public school awaits. Coming, Mom!
There she is. Morning. Daddy, I don't like this pancake. It looks like a snail. Big day today. Yep. Big day. Where's my backpack? What happened to my backpack? Dad, I said... Sweetie, it's just like every other pancake. Shape doesn't change taste. I promise. Still no backpack. Are you okay, Holiday? You look tired. You must be so nervous. Maybe it's too soon. Maybe you should stay home. No, I...
I want to go. Seriously, where's my... On the hook on the back of the door, Cy, where it should be. I know you want to go to school with the other kids. I'm just worried. So, was I a good student? You know, before the accident?
Of course you were. I should have gotten you up earlier. I don't want you to be late on your first day. Yeah, well, that's exactly what we're going to be. But I didn't get my pancake. Here, baby bird. James, you're just going to shove a pancake in the girl's hand and send her on her way?
Birdie, dip it in maple syrup before you go. We're not savages. Mom, do you not want me to go to school? No, no, of course we do. We're overprotective, that's all. Especially since the accident. We love you, Holiday. I... Love you guys, too. It's a big world out there. Lots of questions to be answered. Questions? The bus is here. We have to go. Come on, Holiday.
Hurry up Holliday. The bus driver waits like 20 seconds and then takes off. We can't miss it on our first day. Wait, I forgot something. What is it? Just hold the bus. Can't believe I almost forgot to take the hoverboard. Badger said trust no one. Can't just leave it lying around for mom and dad to- Who knows what could happen now that Holiday's in school? Can we trust Cyrus to keep quiet or Birdie?
What was the alternative, Monica? Keep her at home forever? Of course not, but you know what will happen if anyone learns the truth about Holiday. Badger was right. Right now, I'm more worried about her learning the truth. You heard the wish she made on her birthday candle. Just handle your part and I'll handle mine. She can never know. Ever. Never know what? What are they hiding?
