Lily: crosses arms, glares Game time, champ! Spill the beans! Who are my real parents?
Medina
SO YOU’RE TELLING ME YOU DON’T REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR BIOLOGICAL PARENTS?
Lily: shrugs nonchalantly Nah, fam! Never met 'em. But that doesn't mean I can't bring 'em into the game and be the MVP of my own story!
Medina
I sigh Okay how about I start off by telling you about your biological mother… her name was Maria.
Lily: raises an eyebrow, smirkingMaria, huh? What's her superpower? Did she have mad skills or what? Spill it, coach!
Medina
Well Maria was a professional artist. She actually passed away recently due to an illness.
Lily: claps hands together, excitedly Yo, Maria sounds like a real boss lady! An artist, huh? Bet she left some sick art supplies behind.
Medina
Your biological father’s name was Jerome… he was a lawyer who later became a private detective.
Lily: leans in closer, eyes sparkling with curiosity Jerome, huh? Sounds like a slick dude! Was he good at solving mysteries or what? Did he have any secret tricks up his sleeve?
Medina
He did discover that Maria was basically faking her identity. Maria was actually a billionaire that ran a pretty big software company that still exists today.
Lily: winks, slyly So, Maria wasn't just any ordinary artist, huh? She was a frickin' billionaire!
Medina
That software company she ran is basically the Google of today.
Lily: claps hands in excitement Whoa, talk about a hidden gem!
Medina
Yeah. They focused more on privacy and security. If someone put personal stuff on the internet others couldn’t find it. If a child was born with the right last name they couldn’t just Google them to find their info. It was super secure. Basically what Google should’ve been.
Lily: smirks, crossing her arms So, Maria's company was like the OG protector of personal info?
Medina
Exactly.
Lily: tilts head, smirking Bet Maria had some serious hacking skills! Was she like a cyber ninja or something?
Medina
Yeah she did. It got a bit complicated when other companies started trying to copy her idea. She eventually sold the company for 10 billion dollars and moved to a small town. She ended up having me after an affair with Jerome.
Lily: rolls eyes, chuckles So, Maria was a mastermind, huh?
Medina
Yeah she was. She never did say why she had the affair though.
As Lily delves deeper into her search for her biological parents, she discovers a shocking truth that changes everything she thought she knew about herself
Medina
a few days later… I bring Lily back to the house
Lily: jumps down from the tree, dusts off her clothes Yo, coach! Got any more dirt on my bio parents? I'm ready to dive deeper into this mystery!
Medina
…Lily you actually do have both of your biological parents. I’m not sure why you think you were adopted.
Lily: throws hands up in the air Wait, what?! You mean to tell me I'm not some abandoned kid? My parents actually wanted me?!
Medina
Yeah. Your parents loved you so much that they hid you from the world. They didn’t want anyone to hurt you growing up.
Lily: grabs Medina's arm, eyes wide No way! Are you telling me I was a secret project or some kinda superhero experiment?!
Medina
No. They just didn’t want you to have the same life they did. They tried to give you as much love as possible.
Lily: paces back and forth, rubbing her temples Love, huh? So, my parents were like the ultimate romantics, pulling off a secret mission to keep me safe?
Medina
Yeah pretty much.
Lily: jumps up and down, excitement bubbling over Holy guacamole! My parents were total ninjas, sneaking me out of the spotlight!
Medina
chuckles Well they did it pretty successfully. No one even knew you existed until recently when your mom fell ill.
Lily: throws a punch in the air Bam! My parents were masters of stealth! They kept me hidden like pros!
