It is three days later. Diane D’s family, relatives and the Dianettes are all surrounding Diane D as she sits on a stool inside Margarita and Tomas’ home as her family and relatives say to her, “Welcome home Diane!”
“Thank you all so much,” Diane D says. “It’s so nice to be home.”
“Well how do you feel?” Margarita asks.
“I feel fine Grandma. Just fine.”
“Are you sure?”
“Sure Grandma, I feel fantastic.”
“That’s good. Nice to have you home baby.” Margarita gives Diane D a loving kiss on the head.
Diane D hugs Margarita and says, “Thanks Grandma.”
“Diane, the Joannie Show wants to interview you,” Tomas says.
“The Joannie Show wants to interview me?”
“Yeah,” Mary says. “They want to interview you to talk about our upcoming charity concert next month.”
“Oh really?”
“Yeah,” Barry says. “You want to do an interview with that show about our upcoming charity concert?”
“Sure why not. When is the interview?”
“The interview is in 3 weeks, one week before the concert,” Tomas says.
“Are you sure you’re well enough to do the interview Diane?” Barry asks. “Because if not, you can’t do the interview until you’re completely well.”
“Sure I’m well enough Dad,” Diane D says. “You said the interview is in three weeks. I should be alright by then. I can do the interview. Can’t wait to do it. I’m excited about it.”
“That’s good you’re excited about it Diane,” Mary says, “but you can only do the interview on one condition.”
“On one condition? And what condition is that Mom?”
“You can’t disappear again, having us worried half to death.”
“Oh Mom, believe me, I don’t think I want to go through with you giving me that needle again.” Everyone laughs a little as Diane D and Mary smile to each other and give each other a warm hug and kiss.
