Ava just sighed as she finally managed to find Mal who was hiding. She just picked her up and looked at her. "Okay so this is what is going to happen next. I am already ready since I got ready while you were hiding. Now I am going to get you ready and you are coming with me to the funeral," Ava told the toddler who tried to get away again.

"No! No! No! No wanna!" The small girl cried out, making Ava just sigh as she carried Mal to the room anyway and began to search through Mal's clothes in search of something black, but pretty much all she was finding was purple.

Ava just sighed in frustration as she looked at Mal. "Mal do you only wear purple," Ava asked the girl, making her smile and nod. "Yeah! I wob pupwl!" The small two year old cried out excitedly making Ava just sigh as she found an outfit that was darker purple and kind of looked black that she could put Mal in.

Ava then took Mal and changed her into the outfit in which Mal tried to complain claiming it wasn't purple, but Ava managed to prove it was calming the toddler and allowing her to finish changing her.

When she finally finished changing her Ava just grabbed Mal's dragon and her bottle as she filled the bottle up and then handed it to Mal, but not before grabbing Mal's pacifier and putting it around the girls neck as she needed Mal to behave and Mal was always behaved when she had those three things.

She then carried Mal out the door and met up with her "posse" who just looked at her like she was insane when they saw Ava had the now sleeping toddler with her. "Um Ava why would you bring a toddler to a funeral? Especially to the funeral of someone she didn't even know," Caitlin asked her "friend" making Ava roll her eyes as she looked at her.

"Well not everyone has a perfect family that they can rely on for help! I don't have any other family members except for my little brother who is off in Auradon again doing god knows what! And it's not like I can leave a two year old home alone! You two made me come to this when I told you I was busy! Besides my business is my business not yours!" Ava screamed out to the two making them just nod as they knew Ava was right and they didn't want to start a whole fight right before making a public appearance at Nolan's funeral as his supposed tight posse.

Dylan just sighed as he looked at Ava. "Okay Ava we're sorry we asked. You're right it's your business. We were just a bit concerned to see that you would bring someone who is basically a baby to such a dark thing like a funeral," Dylan told Ava, making her just roll her eyes again.

"Whatever let's just get this over with, so I can get back to my dorm and my sister can continue to pretend that I don't even exist while she just cries out for our brother who is apparently the best person in the world in her mind and I don't mean anything at all to her," Ava screamed out in frustration as she couldn't help herself. She hated this and she hated how her "friends" tried to act like they cared when they didn't. No one cared about her, not even her sister or brother.

Carlos made it very clear that he hates her and Mal made it very clear that she prefers Carlos and would rather not even be near her. Caitlin and Dylan both just gave Ava a sad look as they wanted to comment on what she said, but decided against it as they just locked arms and headed towards the funeral.

When they were walking to the funeral for the service everyone was just staring at them as they were Nolan's "perfect" posse, but not only were they staring at all of them, but a lot of people were pointing to the toddler that was in Ava's arms and whispering making Ava even more frustrated as she just looked at the people.

"Yes I'm holding a toddler, so stop whispering about it!" Ava screamed out to the people as she was frustrated making them all immediately start whispering again about her this time. Caitlin just looked at Ava.

"Really Ava was that necessary?" Caitlin whispered to Ava, making her roll her eyes again as she didn't care. "I don't care. Those people deserved that. They were acting as if they had never seen a toddler before," Ava told Caitlin in annoyance as they entered into the church for the service.

When they entered the church Caitlin immediately put on her best grieving look as she walked past Nolan's mom as she greeted her and told her to sit at the front and Dylan followed her while Ava just walked past as well a little bit after them.

When Ava walked past Nolan's mom she just looked at the sleeping toddler and then Ava sternly as if trying to determine if Mal was Ava's as she didn't like Ava and her family and wouldn't be surprised if Ava had gotten herself knocked up a few years back.

However she was now worried that if that toddler was actually Ava's that Nolan could possibly be the father as she was very suspicious of his "friendship" with the criminal's daughter after finding out that Ava had been at her house with Nolan a few days prior to his death.

Ava just looked at Nolan's mom not really understanding what she was doing as the lady just kept staring at her sister making her feel uncomfortable as she just quickly walked past the grieving mother and held back her tears as she found her seat next to her "friends."

As soon as she sat down right before the service started Mal chose that as the perfect time to wake up from her nap making Ava groan as she just knew it was going to be a complete disaster now as Mal was now up and alert.

As if reading her mind the small toddler decided to do just that as she began to squirm around and complain loudly making everyone just stare at them in disapproval as Mal was being very disrespectful.

"Ava calm her down. You are making us all look bad right now," Caitlin told her "friend" and Dylan decided to join in. "Caitlin's right Ava. She's making us look disrespectful. This is why you really shouldn't bring a toddler to a funeral," Dylan told Ava, making her sigh in frustration.

"I am trying to calm her, but she doesn't listen to me. And I already told you I had no choice. I had to bring her," Ava whispered back to her friends in frustration as she had already explained to them why she had to bring her sister.

"Mal come on please behave. I'll get you anything you want if you please please please stay silent until this funeral is over," Ava practically begged the toddler, making her smile and stop squirming.

"Yay. I behab now," The small girl told Ava who just nodded as she grabbed Mal's stuff. "Okay good Mal," Ava told the toddler as she handed her the bottle and toy and Mal immediately smiled as she began to just sip on the bottle quietly making Ava, Dylan, and Caitlin all sigh in relief as the toddler was finally being calm and behaved. Just at the right time too since as soon as the toddler calmed the funeral service started.

Ava smiled in relief when the funeral ended as the small toddler had actually managed to stay well behaved during the funeral, but as soon as she stood up to leave the small girl began to squirm again making Ava just sigh as she gave in placing the toddler down and before she could even stop her the small girl went running as fast as she could running into a woman that was standing near the exit.

Ava ran over to apologize to the lady for her sister running into her, but as soon as she saw who the lady was she began to fill with anger. As she realized the woman that was now holding her sister was none other than the FBI agent that was on her dad's case Dana Booker, only the worst person she had ever met as the agent was literally obsessed with trying to take down her family.

She couldn't believe that horrible woman had found her in Beacon Heights and not just that, but this same horrible woman was holding her sister who was crying and reaching for her. Ava just quickly stormed over to the woman as she quickly grabbed Mal from the woman making the toddler just cling to her as she didn't like being held by a strange woman and was glad her big sister was holding her again. "Aba," the small toddler told her sister as she just clung to her protectively.

Ava just gave her sister a small smile before looking over at Dana Booker with a look of anger and hatred. "Dana Booker don't you ever touch my sister again! You are even more of a low life than I thought! I can't believe that you are back here right now to mess with me and my family again especially while I am grieving!" Ava screamed out to the former FBI agent who just gave Ava a small sad smile.

"I'm sorry I didn't even realize that was your sister. She is so big now. I believe that last time I saw her she wasn't even a month old yet. And I am very sorry for your loss, but I want you to know that I am no longer with the FBI," Dana Booker told Ava, making Ava look at her in shock and confusion.

"What?" Ava asked in confusion as she didn't understand what Dana was doing if she wasn't FBI anymore. Dana just gave her a serious look as Caitlin and Dylan had decided to come over as well as they wanted to know what was happening.

"Is everything okay," Caitlin asked the former officer who just looked at them all with a serious look. "No everything is not okay. A student has been murdered and as BHU's new head of security I will find out who killed Nolan Hotchkiss and they will be getting what they deserve," Dana told the three in a serious tone as they were her three main suspects and she wanted them to understand that she was onto them.

Once Dana Ava, Caitlin, and Dylan left the church and sat down at a table in the student union while they were discussing what Dana Booker was talking about while drinking coffee. Ava just groaned in frustration as she couldn't believe that Dana was back in her life again after she had thought she had finally escaped from her.

And she just knew that they were all screwed now with Dana Booker now in charge of Nolan's case. She didn't want her "friends" to know that she was scared and as freaked out as them as she tried to remain emotionless around them while they were discussing Dana and Caitlin and Dylan were completely panicking as they worried about their secrets that Nolan had been blackmailing them with getting out and making them look bad.

Ava was trying to act like she didn't care, but she was freaking out as well. If Dana found anything on her and she got in trouble she could get Mal and even Carlos taken from her for good and she couldn't let that happen. She didn't want her fake friends to know that she was feeling that way as they weren't even real friends and she just didn't trust them.

Ava just finished explaining where Caitlin and Dylan could look to find Nolan's hiding spot as they were hoping to find their secrets before Dana could get them and then she stood up as she was finished trying to entertain her fake friends.

Dylan and Caitlin just looked at Ava when they noticed her about to leave. "Ava are you not coming with us," Caitlin asked Ava who just rolled her eyes as they clearly couldn't get it through their heads that she was busy now.

"They're your secrets not mine and I'm busy. I have to go to the store and get my sister some stuff that she needs especially since I need to start acting more like a parent as Mal is now under my care. Plus I still need to call my brother and discuss what we're going to do about him," Ava told the two as she walked away from them and quickly picked up her sister who she had let just run around wild in the student union as she didn't care enough to keep the toddler still anymore.

"Aba I wan oys an anwy! You promise! I behab!" The small toddler cried out as Ava had promised her she could get what she wanted if she behaved and she had. Ava just sighed as she had forgotten that. "Okay Mal I will get you some toys and one piece of candy. Now come on let's go we need to go to the store and I'm going to call our brother in the car, so we can talk to him," Ava told the toddler who just smiled and clapped her hands at the mention of talking to Carlos again.

"Yay! We go! We go! We go!" The small girl told Ava excitedly, making her laugh as her earlier frustrations and worries began to vanish just watching her sister happy. She then walked to her dorm and smiled in relief when she saw that there were boxes by her dorm from Auradon as Carlos had some of their bigger stuff shipped over and she found Mal's car seat.

She just picked it up as she carried it to her car and strapped it in. She then placed her small sister into the seat and buckled her up. "Okay Mal now I'm going to call Carlos now," Ava told the toddler as she clicked on his name and to her relief he answered right away making the toddler giggle happily at hearing her big brother's voice on the phone.

"Cawos! Cawos! Cawos! Yay Cawos!" The small girl screamed out making both Ava and Carlos through the fun laugh at how adorable and excited their baby sister was. "Hey there Mal. I miss you my little pup. I'm gonna be home soon okay. I love you my cute little puppy," Carlos told his baby sister as he really did miss her.

The small two year old just giggled back. "Mi you too! Bi dowy! An I wob you too! I go now! Me an Aba go sow now! Bye Bye!" The small toddler told her big brother making Carlos laugh again. "Okay my little puppy have fun at the store with Ava bye puppy I'll see you soon," Carlos told his baby sister as he hung up the phone not wanting to talk to his big sister until they were actually in person.

Ava just sighed as Mal handed her back her phone and she placed it down as she parked into the store parking lot. She thought it was absolutely adorable to hear how excited Mal and Carlos were to talk to each other, but she wanted that relationship with them too. She wanted to be that close with them that they were excited to be with her and she wanted to have cute nicknames with them like they had.

Ava just sighed as she pushed those thoughts away and quickly unbuckled the happy toddler. "Okay Mal come on let's go shopping," Ava told the toddler who just smiled as she reached up for Ava. "Yay! I ge a go sopin!" The small girl told her sister who just smiled as she picked up the toddler and grabbed a cart placing Mal into the car seat attached and Mal just smiled happily as she loved getting to go out and see things.

It was fun and she loved seeing all the cool stuff. She was excited to shop especially since the young girl didn't get to go out much as the mean lady wouldn't let her, but now Ava was willingly taking her out to the store and she was just so excited.
