"Angelica, I have something to tell you," Rudy said calmly.

"What is it?"

"Well, long story short, I talked about you with mom, and she wants to meet you, so can you make yourself visible to everyone?"

"To everyone in the world?"

"No, no. I could ask you to make yourself visible to mom only, but that would be weird if Lucy couldn't see you. And in short, make yourself visible to everyone I know."

"Done."

"That was fast."

"Can I ask why your mom wants to meet me? It's somewhat strange. I feel anxious."

"You don't have to. Just act as you always do" Rudy remembered that Angelica's normal was her pervy side. "Actually, just act like how a normal adult girl would."

"And what is normal?"

"Umm, why don't you just act like a girlfriend meeting her boyfriend's parents for the first time? You would want to make a good impression of yourself, right?"

Angelica nodded and said, "But is it okay for me to meet her? Wait, what did you tell her that she wants to meet me?"

"Truth. I told her the truth. And yes, she knows that you are a ghost, so you don't have to try to hide anything from her," he reassured her with a gentle smile.

"Okay" Angelica took a deep breath and muttered, "This is my second time feeling so anxious. The first time was when I tried to make moves on you. I was afraid of being turned down."

Rudy gently spanked Angelica on the butt and said, "As if I could reject a sexy, thirsty ghost."

"You said you told her everything, so does that mean you also told her about your powers?"

"Yes. So you don't have to lie or worry about a single thing. Just talk with her like you would talk with your sister."

Rudy purposely mentioned that to see Angelica's reaction.

"I don't think I had a sister. No one knows about me, so it's obvious that I was not from around here."

'The worst thing about Jessica's fate is that not only is she dead, but no one knows about her existence either.'

"Are you ready?" he asked Angelica.

"Can you hold my hand?"

"Sure."

Rudy held Angelica's hand and knocked on the door. He could have opened it, but Lucy was present, and he wanted her to see Angelica.

A few seconds after knocking, Lucy opened the door with a smile on her face. But her smile vanished when she saw Angelica.

"Uhm" She stood at the doorway and stared back and forth at Rudy and Angelica. Then, she noticed them holding hands.

"Who is she?" She asked.

"Let us get inside first. I will introduce her to you and mom."

"Yeah"

Lucy reluctantly let Rudy and Angelica enter the house and then followed them after closing the door.

Rebecca was in the kitchen, watching over the soup on the stove that Lucy had made for the first time.

"Err mom."

Rebecca gazed at Rudy after hearing his voice and noticed Angelica.

"..." Her face froze, and she showed no reaction when she saw Angelica. She was too shocked to act.

Rudy walked over to her and turned off the stove first. Then, he held her hand and led her to the living room, where Lucy was already waiting for her answers.

"This will be your first time meeting each other." Rudy pointed his hand at Angelica and said, "Mom, Lucy, this is Angelica. She is a very close friend of mine. We go to the same school every day."

Lucy let out a sigh of relief after hearing that.

"Are you in the same classes as well?" Lucy asked.

"Yes, she sits close to me."

"We have done many things together in every part of the school," Angelica quipped.

"Huh?"

"Projects, assignments, and other school duties. She is talking about that."

"Oh right."

Rudy wasn't lying as he and Angelica indeed go to the same school together, and she always sits on his lap to annoy him.

'Anxious, my ass! She is acting her usual self as always!' Rudy shot a judging glare at Angelica and shook his head.

"Won't you introduce me to them?" Angelica asked innocently.

Rudy facepalmed himself and thought, 'Why did I forget that she is a master at acting.'

"Of course. Angelica, this beautiful lady sitting on the couch is my mother. And this thing is my sister."

"Don't call me 'this thing'! And it's step, I am your step-sister!" Lucy frowned.

"It's the same thing," Rudy shrugged.

"No, it's not. Especially when you are introducing me to someone for the first time."

"Okay, cool." Rudy turned to Angelica and said, "Angelica, this is my step-thing."

Lucy squinted her eyes and said, "I will remember this."

"Oh? What will you do?" Rudy smirked.

"I will also bring my friends over sometimes and introduce you in a way you wouldn't want to be introduced," Lucy shrugged.

"..." Rudy gulped down nervously and muttered, "She always has a perfect comeback and revenge planned."

"That's enough. Stop fighting, you two," Rebecca interjected. "At least have some manners in front of a guest."

'Your guest herself doesn't have the word 'manners' in her dictionary,' Rudy uttered inwardly.

"I will continue making dinner," Lucy stated. After walking a few steps, she turned to Angelica and asked, "Will you be staying for dinner?"

"Umm" Angelica glanced at Rudy for help.

"Yes, she will."

"Okay."

Now, only Rudy, Angelica, and Rebecca were in the living room.

They both stared at each other in an awkward situation.

"Mom, Angelica, you two talk with each other. I have something to do, so I will be right back."

"Wait!" Angelica grabbed Rudy's hand and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I got some 'things' to do." He patted Angelica's head and whispered, "Don't worry about anything. Mom already knows everything. And I personally think if I give you two some alone time to walk with each other."

After saying that, Rudy left the house and teleported to the waterpark after saying that. There, he emptied the pools as he had promised Reina and then went to the police department in the next city to meet Cassandra.
