" It was. If it was him he possibly was punished for how he and the other scientists treated Thalia. " Salem said feeling bad for Carly and Deanna.

"What do you mean?" Janet asked curiously.

Thalia explained about how she had been used to get to Deanna but had helped Alex and the others bring down the scientists. " See Eve and Salem worked for the scientists but their punishments were ones that would help them. The other scientists were punished severely for treating me and other Bishies badly. " She said.

"I see. If you don't mind me asking you two, what were your punishments, and why weren't you two given harsher ones? Is it because you changed sides or for some other reason?" Janet asked, curious. While she was saddened to hear that her husband was punished for his actions, she knew that he had it coming to him.

" Mine was to become a trainer and catch a Bishie within 2 weeks. " Eve said.

" And mine was to tell Eve my feelings for her within two weeks. Not really punishments but those were two things we both were putting off." Salem explained.

"I'm glad to hear that you two didn't have to do anything harsh in order to redeem yourself," Janet said with a light grin. She was happy for her daughters.

" I'm glad too." Kirito said not wanting to know what his life would have been like if he was still in the wild.

Eve grinned lightly as she heard that from Kirito. "Now then...how about lunch?" she asked with a grin.

Carly and Deanna nodded and were ready to see what Eve had made today. They both liked that everyone in the group liked to cook.

"I just made a few simple things," Eve admitted. "Nothing special," she added.

" Did you make your sandwich pinwheels?" Salem asked hoping she did. He had been spending time training with Alex and the others and hoped he could train soon with Articuno.

"I did," Eve said with a grin.

" You make pinwheel sandwiches?" Elisa asked. "Could you teach me how to make them sometime?" She asked her friend.

"Sure, I'll teach you," Eve said with a grin.

" Thank you. " Elisa said as they entered the kitchen.

"You're quite welcome," Eve said as the others headed on into the kitchen.

Kirito thought lunch looked really good and was looking forward to eating.

Deanna was happy her mom remembered her and Carly. But felt sad since it was her dad that had caused all this in the first place.

"Carly...if Dad was a part of the Scientists...does that mean Morpheus killed him?" Deanna asked, hoping her sister knew. If not, she'd ask Thalia.

" Maybe. But now we know why he was gone all of the time." Carly said not sure how to feel right now. It wasn't like she was in contact with him.

"Yeah..." Dea said with a light sigh. "Perhaps I should ask Thalia-chan, but right now, lunch."

Carly nodded and was looking forward to lunch today. She was just happy their mom was back.

"Though why didn't you tell mom about Alex, hm?" Deanna asked teasingly. Seeing her older sister blush, Deanna giggled lightly.

" Hey. I will." Carly said blushing a bit more.

"Just don't forget, unless you want me to tell mom for you?"

" I won't forget." Carly said and sighed.
