QUALINA:
Racolo, we need to talk.
RACOLO:
I hate conversations that begin like that.
QUALINA:
Sorry honey, but I’ve come to tell you that I'm ready to return to my time.
RACOLO:
What? I mean - just like that?
QUALINA:
Oh yes, I must. I came to realize there could be
dire consequences if I continue to remain here.
RACOLO:
Uh-huh. So in other words, now you see that I’ve been
right about this, all along?
QUALINA:
Why - yes dear, I suppose you have been. Harmonia and Lu were very helpful in explaining it to me. Where as, it was always such a fight with you. Racolo honey, I do hope we’re on better terms in my future.
RACOLO:
Well, yeah. You saved my life.
QUALINA:
That's so sweet of you to say.
RACOLO:
It's true. Dad and me really clashed. You took me in and everything got so much better. You changed everything.
QUALINA:
And here I thought you built this wall around yourself to keep me away.
Poor dear, you're losing me for the second time, aren’t you?
RACOLO:
Something like that. And you made me promise, when I met
you again, to make you go back to your own time.
QUALINA:
It seems I coerced a few people into making that promise.
I guess I knew how stubborn I could be.
RACOLO:
... Look, I know I’ve been pretty secretive about your future
but there's one thing I’ve been wanting to warn you about …
QUALINA:
Oh? And you’re not concerned that it'll wreak havoc on my timeline?
RACOLO:
I’m willing to chance it.
RACOLO:
…It happened on Halloween, when I was 16. I was dating Es and we were … together, in my room. You walked in on us and … Just knock first. OK?
QUALINA:
I find it hard to believe that I allowed sleep-overs, with girls
while I was raising you.
RACOLO:
You didn't, but knock anyway.
QUALINA:
I promise. Now about your brother …
RACOLO:
Aless? He's in his room.
QUALINA:
I know, and I’ll see him shortly, but first I want to talk to you about him.
RACOLO:
He’s not gonna like that you're leaving.
QUALINA:
No, he’s not. He’s a little lost Racolo, and he needs his big brother.
RACOLO:
I’m here.
QUALINA:
Yes, but you're distracted. Oh it's not your fault, you have a lot on your plate. I want you to spend more time with him. You don't need to do anything special, just let him tag along.
QUALINA:
You’re going to find that he's a wonderful boy with
amazing potential. Now, promise me.
RACOLO:
I promise.
QUALINA:
Good. I’ve heard that I’m to become a powerful sorceress in my time.
RACOLO:
Very powerful.
QUALINA:
Well then, I know you’ll believe me when I say that if you
break this promise, I’ll know and find a way back here.
RACOLO:
Understood.
QUALINA:
Good. Now you better go to Magick School and prepare your spell. I need to
change into something presentable.The day you brought me here I was
hosting a party for your grandfather. It'll be lovely to see him again.
I really do miss that man.
