The car ride was the usual. Jamie and Eric fought over the radio, while Ana hummed and stared out the window, while Charlie kept sighing and muttering under his breath about how immature they were acting. Raymond gave up a long time ago on getting in on this. Him telling the others what to do in this close of a space meant he wouldn't live long to tell the tale. Chalrie climbed out, and then Jamie. She didn't look back, she only stormed off to her first class. "Love you too, Princess!" Raymond called out. He could feel her turning red from that.

Charlie gave a smirk, messing up Eric's hair, and kissing Ana's cheek as he climbed out. "See you after school." Jason said, putting the car in drive. "Actually... I might be a little late." An eyebrow raised from Raymond. "Whose the lucky lady?" Raymond asked with a grin. Eric and Ana both "ooooooooohhhhh'ed" Charlie blushed. "It's uh... I'll tell you later." Charlie said quickly, holding on to his backpack and quickly making his way in to school. Raymond grinned. "I heard him talking to her on the phone late at night." Eric said with a snicker. "Oh really? She sound nice?" Raymond asked, pulling out of the high school parking lot.

"yeah... but she doesn't seem as nice our new neighbor... Did you know we had one?" Eric asked slyly. "yeah... I saw her when we left..." Raymond said, looking in the rear view mirror at his son. "I don't want any homemade rockets or your sister's stuff ending up in her backyard or whatever. Try to set a good example." The father said, pulling up to their school. he climbed out of the car, opening the door for Ana, and picking her up, giving her kisses on the cheek. "Are you ready, pretty girl?" Raymond asked setting her down. "Yes! I've been waiting foreeeevvveeeerrr!" Ana squeeled.

He walked in to the building. He hugged Eric before he turned right to the middle school section. He then held Ana's way all the way to her new classroom. He was met with the teacher. "Oh, Hello mister Chase.. I didn't expect... I would think that someone with so much...fame would have someone take their daughters to school for you..." The teacher said, looking Raymond up and down. he gave a weak smile, noticing the other moms that appeared today. He had a feeling most of them weren't here just to say goodbye to their kids.

"No, Its just me... I like to stay involved in this kind of stuff." he smiled, kneeling down and giving Ana a kiss. "Bye Daddy!" She said, clearly eager to rush in and make new friends. "Bye sweetheart, I'll pick you up right here, alright? Love ya." He waved goodbye as the young girl rushed in, the mothers awe'ing... He stood, waved at the teacher, then walked down the hall. "Excuse me! Mister Chase!" Raymond silently groaned. He turned around and gave a smile to a mother. "School gets out at four, correct? I never know now adays, I have a son in high school, and they get mixed up to me" She asked, looking him up and down as well. "Yes, four..." Raymond said.

"It must be hard, being the mom and the dad..." She gave a laugh. Ray just gave a very small smile. He wouldn't admit it, but he never thought about dating again. He has constantly been flirted on by people who knew him from television, and him being known as "the most interesting man on the planet" He didn't live much of that life anymore... And he still had feelings for his Marie... 

"It can be tough, but we are getting by. I have good kids, and they help me just as much as I help them." He nodded, starting to walk again.

"Well, I'm a single parent myself... Maybe we could get something to eat, and chat until four, when our kids are done?" She asked, her voice having a flirty tone. 

"I.. um... I'm sorry, I can't. I have a meeting with my manager... Very important..." he said. "I'm sorry.. maybe some other time?" Raymond smiled, and with that, left as fast as he could.
