Secret got revealed.

<General perspective>

After they got fresh and changed into new clothes, they got inside the car. Ava looked at Regina and asked, "Regina, why don't you transfer here?"

Regina replied with a smile, "I like the idea, but I have to convince my parents first."

Ava nodded and then looked at Elena. "Did you hear the news that MIT is going to conduct the final examinations one month early?"

Elena, surprised, said, "Really? I didn't get the notification about it."

Ava replied, "Our company has appointed one of the trustees at MIT, so we got the news early."

Elena smiled, "Thanks. I can prepare for it now."

Ava nodded and pinched Elena's cheeks. "You better be prepared because after that, we will start designing a physical Callisto, not just the program."

Elena nodded while pouting.

Regina looked at her phone and chuckled. "Miss Anonymous, some people are starting to worship you as the leader of the Illuminati."

Ava choked. "What?" Regina showed Ava a video.

A man in the video was an influencer famous for revealing mysteries, known as Pluton.

Pluton was talking about how Miss Anonymous killed men without giving them a moment to react, showing no mercy to any of them.

Pluton also suggested that Miss Anonymous might be the leader of the Illuminati, and that Reaper might be her subordinate or her father. He speculated they could be Egyptian aliens who have been living among humans since they created the pyramids.

Ava choked at Pluton's words, thinking he was speaking nonsense.

Ava handed the phone back to Regina and said, "He's just making content out of the viral incident."

Regina nodded. "So, what are we going to do today?"

Ava thought for a moment and said, "How about a date? We could go to the amusement park and then try food all around L.A."

Elena nodded. "I've always wanted to try that famous restaurant." Ava smiled, knowing that Elena was a foodie.

Regina asked hesitantly, "I won't get fat, right? I want to stay fit."

Ava chuckled. "No, you won't get fat, even if you eat a bunch of Kälteen Bars."

Regina looked confused. "What are Kälteen Bars?"

Ava replied, "They were used to gain weight."

Regina asked, "And why won't I get fat?"

Ava said, "When you got injected with CH-24, it pushed your body to its peak. That means you won't get fat, unless you eat only fast food for a year without any exercise, and I won't let that happen."

Elena looked at Ava with a sparkle in her eyes. "Is it true?"

Ava nodded. Elena felt like her dream had come true. Every woman wants to stay fit, which is why they often avoid their favorite meals. But Elena can eat anything without worrying about getting fat because of CH-24 and Ava's training.

A day ago,

Dunphy house.

Haley put her handbag on the table and asked, "And why is that?" as she took the juice bottle from the fridge.

Phil explained how he met Ava in the Grand Canyon, helped her, and forgave Claire. They even talked for a while.

Haley took a sip and asked, since she usually didn't care about anything Phil said, "Oh really..." But when she realized what her father had said, she choked while drinking.

Haley took a breath and asked, "You mean you met Ava and you guys talked with her for an hour or two?"

Phil nodded, "Yeah."

Haley shouted, "What do you mean, 'Yeah'? You didn't even try to inform me that Ava is here!....."

Claire interrupted Haley, "We don't want to disturb you, especially since you don't usually study with your friends. And Ava was with her girlfriend, so we couldn't insist she stay."

Haley felt her heart being stabbed when she heard that Ava had a girlfriend. She didn't even know Ava had a girlfriend.

Haley thought, 'It doesn't matter to me; I am just a friend.'

Haley glanced at Phil and Claire and said sarcastically, "What did you guys even talk about? You don't even know that Ava is Blue."

Phil's eyes widened. "You mean the singer friend of yours is Ava?"

Haley frowned, realizing she had spilled the beans. "No, she is not."

Claire sighed and took out a note. "Here, Ava left this for you. Now I know what secret she was talking about."

Haley took the note hastily and read it:

[Haley, I am sorry for last time, but I know we are still friends, so please keep my secret safe.] [Ava's number: □■□■□□■□□□■]

After reading it, Haley glared at Claire. "Mom, you can't read something that was meant for me."

Claire replied, "We won't tell a single soul about it, right, Phil?"

Phil nodded. "Of course, I won't tell anyone that I know Blue and talked with her for an hour."

Claire rubbed her head. "Phil, promise me that you won't say a word about Ava or Blue."

Phil replied, "What about Luke and Alex?"

Claire, "No."

Phil, "Cam and Mitchell? They love Ava's songs."

Claire, "No."

Phil, "Jay or Gloria?"

Claire shouted, "Noooo! Phil, listen, we can't be like our daughter who spilled the beans."

Haley felt her heart being stabbed by her mom's taunt.

Phil nodded and said loudly, "I, Phil Dunphy, swear that I will never tell anyone that Ava is the famous singer Blue."

Claire was about to smile but frowned as she saw Mitchell and Cam standing at the door with their eyes widened.

Cam asked, "Who is Ava?"

Phil replied, "Just Haley's friend." Claire and Haley glared at Phil.

Mitchell calmed Cam down and said, "Claire, is this Ava the one we talked about before Gloria's party?"

Claire sighed. "Can we talk about this after locking the door? I don't want more people to know."

Mitchell nodded and closed the door.

As they gathered in the hall and took a seat, Claire explained everything to Mitchell and Cam.

After hearing the whole story, Cam started to look at Haley with stars in his eyes. Haley felt a shiver from Cam's look.

Mitchell said, "We will make sure that this secret won't get out."

Claire nodded. "Well, I don't like to hide this, but Ava doesn't want people to know about her."

Cam nodded in agreement. "Well, I like her songs; they are just so beautiful and mesmerizing."

Cam continued in a polite tone while looking at Haley. "Can we meet her, Haley?"

Haley replied, "I don't know. I haven't seen her in a few weeks."

Cam sighed. "If you meet her, let her know that I am her biggest—" He stopped when he saw Mitchell's expression.

Cam continued while holding Mitchell's hand, "I mean, we are her biggest fans."

Mitchell nodded.
