Ed was able to arrive safely and was still surprised to find out that his mom is still awake and is waiting for him.

"Mom it's late. What are you still doing here?"

"I just wanted to make sure that you were able to bring Dale home safely," Cathy is really fond of Dale that even just meeting her that day, she already felt concerned for her welfare.

"I really like Dale. She is not like any other girls of your age. She is polite and genuine." Cathy wanted Ed to realize that she approve of Dale.

"I like her as well mom. I want to be her friend," Ed said this just to avoid his mom from having any other ideas.

"Well, it would be better to start as friends." Cathy just patted her son's back and proceed to her room to rest.
