Their family members were people who took benefit from everything. Brothers sold a few things when they were running. After 3 hours they met again. They went home. The home was messed up; most of the things belong to Jason. Jason and Sam had a row because of it. Tom proved that Sam was right but Jason did not want to hear them. They fought Jason came off a loser. He went to his room before he saw light and heart strange voice. That day at the same time Mary was going to the parent’s house.

They told their problems to each other. At the end they pressed the fish. They gave promise that they stay in each other life until they tackle the solution to their problem. Suddenly Mary disappeared because she was waked up by Tom. Tom was splashed a bucket of water. Mary shouted and Tom punished her due to what Jason did yesterday. They went to downstairs in order to have a breakfast. She sat near them and started explain them the situation. Boys laughed. Sam asked from Mary give him sugar. Suddenly boys started bit her. They finally understood that the person who is sitting near to them was not Jason. They knew it from sugar because the real Jason never let to Sam take sugar as much as he wants. Because whenever he eats something sweet, he cannot stop himself. Mary was interrogated by boys. She told her real name to them then Sam searched from the Internet the information about her. He saw Mary’s picture when he was drinking tea with sugar and tea went out from his mouse to Mary. Sam gave the phone to the Tom to show Mary’s picture. Likewise, Tom’s tea went out from his mouse but tea was without sugar. Tom had a job that is why he left Mary to Sam. Jason’s day started after 6 hours later. The girl woke up Jason and she gave Mary’s timetable. He started explain the situation to that girl. Her name is Emily. Jason convinced to Emily. Then Emily started to talk with herself. She made a plane because there was a party at night. Her plan was to save Mary’s career. She started prepare Jason to the party. They went to spa salon. Jason did not like them. He ran away from there when they went inside. Jason quickly got tired because Mary’s body was not strong and fast. That is why spa salon’s employees caught Jason.

He remembered the word which he heard from Sam. Tears appeared from people’s eyes because of his words. At the end of the party Emily praised Jason. Later Jason met Mary’s boyfriend Henry Scott. He was an imposter. That was a reason why Emily did not like him. A lot of people said that Henry was a footman and he only cringe with Mary to take money. She could not that this was just an illusion. Emily said what she thinks about Henry. That is why Jason’s point about Henry had become worse. Henry asked from Emily to leave them alone. Emily did not protest. Then she went out. Henry started to commend Jason because of his speech. Henry thought he is speaking with Mary. Jason noticed that Henry was lying. He heard all the things which he said. At the end Henry wanted to kiss but Jason pressed his tender dot and then he fell asleep. Jason and Emily went home to find Mary’s location.

They had enough money to buy that drug but Sam wanted to keep more money. Sam used one special technique which he regularly uses while he is buying something so nobody could not say no to the price that he offered. After that technique druggist wanted to write resignation letter but he could not hold even pen. Jason, boy and Mary went to Tom’s café. Boy was so happy because no one did not wanted help to him but strange person came and did everything what he can to safe boy and his mother. Robbers stopped them when they were going.

Then they went to see out the kid. Sam gave apple which he kept to the boy. Sam started speak to Mary. His speech was so beautiful and strong. Mary cried inside but she smiled outside. Then they went to home to make an ice-cream competition. The next day Sam and Mary went to dentist to show Mary’s tooth. It caught an illness because of ice-cream competition. They ate two kilo ice-creams. When it was Mary’s turn dentist asked from boys to stay here for thirty minutes. They could not say no. Dentist went out but one old woman came and set. She said take my tooth. Sam again could not say no that is why he tried to take that woman’s tooth but he caught her tang. He did not know about it. After procedure woman could not speak. She went out to call his son in law. That man was strong and he had three strong friends with him. Mary was scared when those guys entered to the room. She was not sure that they will go from there healthy. Man asked from his mother in law to wait outside. Sam had one rule be honest. He said everything what happened.

Sam and Tom were scared because of price. Sam found the way out of this; he offered to make this meeting in their style. Girls were not over against. They went to little café. All of them were happy because it was not boring. Suddenly Sara saw catsup on Sam’s face and wiped it. Tom, Jason and Mary were astonished. They looked strangely to Sam because he has never let to girls wipe his face. That was first time. In the evening Jason and Mary saw light it was same with the light which they saw two months ago. After that day in the morning both of them were in their own body. They were happy. They understood that it is a time to say good bye but girls asked from boys to stay with them to three days. Two days later they organized party. There were a lot of famous people. Sam has not been in this kind of parties that is why it was difficult to him to be formal. He found a place from corner and set. He felt himself uncomfortable but Sara was with him. Jason and Mary were talking with the others. They did not care about Sam, Tom and Sara. Tom was dancing with Emily. Everything was good with him. Sam wanted to go outside but he crashed to the person and spilled his drink to that man’s costume. That person was Henry. Sam apologized but Henry was not a forgivable person. He liked make elephant from flu. Sam endured for every word what Henry said. All of a sudden Henry said did your mother teach you to manners. Again, Sam could not hold his anger. He bit Henry until he went out like a light. This time Tom could not stop him alone Mary and Jason helped him. Mary asked from Sara what happened. She said all things. Then Mary started say bad things about Sam to protect Henry but Jason did not let her to say this kind of bad thing. Most of the people were in Sam’s side even Emily.

She went to Henry’s house to know how he is. When she entered to the Henry’s house there were a lot of girls. She was not an only person who was Henry’s favorite girl. Mary slapped his face. She finally understood, it was just an illusion. She lost all things like Sam said. He knew that this day will come that is why he gave an advice to help her. Sam said she needs to watch his favorite cartoon to find answers to her question. She watched that cartoon and understood what she needed to do.
