Lucas heads over to Jared’s house to see Natalie for another playdate. However, as the two were playing, Lucas noticed somthing off about his girlfriend. She seemed to be having a bad flashback when she was tackled by Lucas, causing her to freak out and push him away from her.

“NO!!!” Natalie said. “DON’T DO IT!!!”

Jared then goes over to Natalie to cheer her up.

“Oh, no…” Lucas said. “I didn’t mean to hurt her. I swear.”

“It wasn’t your fault, Lucas.” Jared said. “She’s just had a rough childhood, hence why I’m making her forget about it.”

Jared then took Natalie into her house to cheer her up more. As they left, the shadowy figure merged right in front of Lucas.

“A rough childhood, hun? Sounds very interesting, don’t ya think?” the figure asked Lucas.

“No!” Lucas said. “I somehow triggered her.”

Lucas decided to go and ask her about her rough childhood. However, he would have to wait until Natalie had completely calmed down. The next day, when Lucas went over to Natalie's house, Jared was at the door, as if he was waiting on him or something.

"Perfect timing, Lucas.” Jared said. “Natalie’s inside her room.”

Lucas enters the house and inside of Natalie’s bedroom, looking at a scared Natalie that was cowering in fear.

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no…” Natalie mumbled under her breath.

“Um, Natalie?” Lucas asked.

Natalie, still shaking in fear, looks up at Lucas, smiles happily, and hugs him.

“Lucas!” Natalie said. “You came…”

“Natalie, I have to ask you something.” Lucas said. “When we were playing, and you freaked out, Jared understandably went to you. He also mentioned something about you having a rough past. What is that about?”

“I...I…” Natalie was about to say, but didn’t want to talk about. “...don’t want to talk about it…”

“It’s okay, Natalie.” Lucas said. “You can tell me. I’m your boyfriend.”

“Lucas, I don’t want to talk about it!” Natalie said, slowly getting angry.

“But…” Lucas said.

“No buts!” Natalie said, kicking Lucas out of her room. “Now, leave me alone!”

Lucas left Natalie’s house rather sad. Jared noticed this, and went up to him.

“Why won’t she tell me what’s happened to her?” Lucas asked in anger, as his eyes turned blue. “I just wanted to know what she meant when she said she had a rough childhood!”

“Lucas, dear boy.” Jared said. “I’m sure she didn’t mean to push you away like that. She’s just having some time to recover from that accident you two had yesterday.”

“Are you...sure?” Lucas asked, calming down as his eyes turned back to his yellow eyes.

“Yeah.” Jared said. “In fact, I’ll go and get her right now.”

Jared then went inside the house to convince Natalie to go out with Lucas, to which she accepted, and took the two cubs into a nearby park fountain. After all of that, he left the two alone.

“Natalie, I’m sorry for what I tried to do…” Lucas said. “It’s just...I was curious, and-”

“It’s okay, Lucas.” Natalie said. “I know what you were trying to do, but I wasn’t in the right mood.”

Natalie then takes a deep breath, getting ready to tell her about her past.

“Well, since I’m alone with you, I guess you deserve an explanation.” Natalie said. “Before I met you, I was a victim of abuse.”

Lucas gasped from this.

“Yeah…” Natalie said. “I was gagged, kidnapped, stripped and bound to bondage furniture…”

“Oh, my…” Lucas said.

“It’s not just me, either.” Natalie said. “It was my mommy, Winter, Melody Skye, and Diana. Plus, I had it happen to me a lot more often.”

Natalie tears up from the trauma she had faced, causing her to hug Lucas, who now has the same angry blue eyes as earlier.

“When I go find the person who did this to you and your friends and family, I’ll rip them apart!” Lucas growled.

“Daddy…” Natalie cried. “I need him, now…”

Lucas grabbed Natalie, placed her on his back, and ran fast to her house, where we see Jared waiting on her.

“DAAAADDYYY!!!” Natalie said, crying.

“I see you were upset by Natalie’s past.” Jared said to Lucas. “Well, think of it like this, at least your bond with Natalie will grow even stronger.”

“Whoever did this MUST BE DESTROYED!!!” Lucas yelled in rage.

“Lucas, I think it’s time to calm down, now.” Jared said.

With that, Lucas had calmed down and reverted to his normal state.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Jared.” Lucas said.

“It’s okay, Lucas.” Jared said. “You two are perfect together.”

Natalie takes Lucas into her bedroom to hug him very hard, still tearing up.

“Lucas…” Natalie said, sniffling. “I’m so sorry for what I had to say...it was so difficult.”

“Natalie, it’s okay…” Lucas said. “I didn’t know you went through all of that…”

“Well…” Natalie said. “At least all the fun we had together made up for what I went through.” Lucas and Natalie began to make out with each other, and then laid down next to each other.

“Thank you, Lucas.” Natalie said, kissing Lucas’ cheek.

“It’s not a problem.” Lucas said.

After Lucas and Natalie got enough rest, the two of them finished their playdate with the two of them playing outside on the playground.
