Secret smiled, walking beside Johnny, holding an ice cream cone. "Hey, look over there"Johnny smiled pointing to a high strikers game set up by a clothes shop. She grabbed his hand, pulling him after her. "He'll give it a shot!"Secret clapped nodding to Johnny. Johnny smiled slightly, taking the mallet. He swung it down, hitting the target, a ring coming from the bell. She clapped, beaming up at him. "You were awesome!"Secret beamed. She perked up, a stuffed panda being held out to her. "Here"Johnny nods. He handed the stuffed animal to her, laughing when she gave him a look. "How did you know I liked stuffed animals? You stalking me?"Secret joked smirking at him. He shook his head, grinning. "No, not at all, you just seem like the type, you're cute, so I thought you'd like cute things"Johnny smiled. She giggled at his expression when he realized what he said. "Thank you"Secret smiled. "Shall we continue?"Secret asks. "Sure, let's go"Johnny answers.

She dragged him around, holding his hand, a wide smile on her face. "Oh I haven't had this much fun since my tenth birthday!"Secret giggled smiling at everything. "How come?"Johnny asks. "My aunt is protective of me, it's been that way since the accident with my foot"Secret responds looking at the fruits at a stand. "That's understandable"Johnny chuckles rubbing the back of his neck. She hummed softly, and twirled away with him following. He grabbed her arm, keeping her from crashing into someone. "Be careful"Johnny warns placing a hand on her shoulder as he led her away. She grabbed his hand, pulling him to the Ferris wheel. She stepped up into one of the booth's with him behind her, the door shutting behind them before they moved. She stared out the window, her stuffed animal in her lap. "I like views like these"Secret says quietly. He looked past her, then down at her face, smiling slightly. "I can tell sights like these bring you joy"Johnny chuckles. "Yeah"Secret giggled.

Anna looked over when Secret walked into the house, Lisa looking away from the TV with curiosity gleaming in her eyes. "Secret, you're back late, I was starting to get worried about you little cub"Lisa comments standing up and walking over to her. Secret stood frozen as she came closer, getting an ominous feeling from her aunt, her eyes wide as her fur stood up on end. "Where have you been almost all day?"Lisa questions leaning close. "I was out having fun at the plaza"Secret responds her ears flattening back against her head. Her aunt stared her with with narrowed eyes, opening her mouth to speak again. "Lisa, she's probably tired!" Anna walked over, flicking her tail behind her. "Don't be too harsh on her, sister, it's normal for girls her age to wander around late! You used to do the same and have mother worried silly!"Anna scolds smiling. "Yes, I certainly forgot that, been a while since I've been young, wandering around and coming home late..."Lisa mutters looking embarrassed.

Anna smiled down at Secret and winked, keeping their little secret safe. She smiled up at her mother, flicking her tail around behind her. "You go wash up, then we'll eat dinner"Lisa smiled patting her shoulder. "Yep, got it!"Secret nods hurrying away. "We're having a surprise for dinner!"Lisa calls chuckling as she watched her go. She opened the bathroom door, walking to the sink and turning it on wondering what had been made for dinner tonight. She grabbed a towel, using it to turn the sink off and dried her paws as she walked out. Something grabbed her, her eyes wide in alarm as she shrieked. "SECRET!!"Anna screamed two masked figures keeping her back. Lisa sat on a stool, her legs crossed. "You know it's a shame you two lied to me, I feel hurt...after all I've done for you both"Lisa sighed shaking her head. "Lisa, I told her to do it, leave her out of this!!"Anna yells looking at her. "Oh I know, I smell that pesky husband all over you, dear sister"Lisa chuckles standing up.

"How did you even find out.."Anna demands glaring at her. Secret looked from one figure to another, her eyes wide when she looked at her aunt and mother. "It was quite easy actually, you were gullible enough to believe that I'd call my men off if you agreed to come with me"Lisa says. "Mom, what's happening!"Secret yells chuckles coming from the intruders. "Secret...Secret, Secret, Secret...so desperate to sing again that she never noticed these three following her around"Lisa mocks walking around the figure keeping Secret stilll "And your two cheetah friends told me that they saw you hanging with Buster Moon and his crew"Lisa smiled looking down at the stunned girl. She walked back to the stool and sat down, smiling at their shocked looks in amusement. "Wanna hear a little secret, Secret?"Lisa asks clasping her paws together. "I'm the one who did that to your leg." Secret's ears flattened back, staring at her aunt. "And if you don't come with me, I will sick my other goons on your precious gorilla!"

Johnny rubbed the back of his neck, walking up to Secret's house. "Secret..uh, do you wanna go to the moves"Johnny mutters. "No that's a little lame." He sighed and knocked, only for the door to crack open, his body stiffening. He pushed the door open, his eyes widening as he stepped in. Anna yelled muffled words at him, tears falling down her cheeks as she struggled to free her wrists from the rope tying her to something. "Ms Anna!" He hurried over and pulled the bandanna down, quickly working on untying the ropes. "NO FORGET ME!"Anna yells looking at him. He looked at her, his fingers working the knot. "LISA HAS SECRET! THEY JUST LEFT!!"Anna cried looking up at him as he untied her. "Where'd they go!"Johnny demands. "The back!"Anna yells pointing down the hall. He hurried away, throwing the door open just as a van took off. Anna came up behind him, her eyes wide as he chased after the van.

He grabbed the handle and swung it open, grunting when someone popped out shoving him down. He shook his head and looked up startled. Secret stared at him looking apologetic, Lisa peeking out from behind her with a small smile. She grabbed the handle, shutting the door, the van speeding up. "Johnny, are you okay!"Anna asks running over. "Anna!!" Philip stared at her, Puzzle beside him. "Mom, why's the house ransacked!"Puzzle demands. "Lisa has Secret! I don't know what to do!"Anna responds. "I got the plate number"Johnny informs Puzzle helping him stand up. "Then let's call the cops!!"Puzzle suggests. "Lisa will outsmart them somehow, either by switching vans or sending Secret off somewhere with a whole new identity"Philip mutters shaking his head. "....Lisa thinks taking Secret will stop the show..." Anna looked at them all, their eyes landing on her. "Johnny how fast can you and your friends really prepare for the show, I have an idea..."Anna asks. "I can ask Mr Moon"Johnny nods.
