"Do I even have a story?" Riley asked.

"You have a wonderful story, Riley. It's time you found out what it is."

Lollie and Noah sat in the living room as they worked on their project.

"Have you ever seen them so quiet?" Bailey asked.

Finn shook his head, "They're plotting."

Mariah came downstairs and sat beside her parents.

"Do you know what they're doing?" Finn asked.

"A project about their heritages. Don't know why they're doing it together though."

Bailey looked at Mariah, "What do you mean?"

"They don't have the same heritage. Noah and I do, but not them. If they are working on it together and doing the same research, it's not going to be accurate."

The two adults looked at each other and back at the two teens in the living room.

"Maybe... they should know that right?" Bailey asked.

"They should. They're smart."

"Once upon a time." Riley said.

The class was presenting their projects today.

"Nothing." She continued, "I'm completely American. My people never even left the house. I'm not even cream cheese. I'm American cheese. I'm individually wrapped."

She grabbed a stack of cheese and threw it some to each person.

"Here I come."

"Oh, that's the worst report I ever heard." Mr. Matthews said.

"Oh, you don't want one?" Riley asked.

"No, I do want one."

"You made me this!"

"Great news, Maya. Your report couldn't possibly be any worse."

"You don't know me." Maya said, "Turns out Clutterbucket is Irish!"

Maya placed a green hat on her head.

"I'm Irish."

She faced Lucas, "Know why I'm a short stack of pancakes, Huckleberry? Cause I'm a leprechaun!"

"Wow." Lollie whispered.

"Here have a potato!" Maya said, chucking it towards Yogi.

"That's what you brought? Potatoes?" Mr. Matthews asked.

"No, that would be a stereotypical ignorant cliché." Maya said, "I also brought our national soap."

"Maya, Ireland has a rich, deep cultural history. You show us something authentic right now!"

Maya walked over towards Yogi's desk and hopped onto it.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm gonna Riverdance all up on Yogi's head."

Yogi smiled, "Do it!"

"Sit down! Both of you have just squandered an opportunity to show us who you are." Mr. Matthews sighed, "Lucas, Zay, show us who you are."

"You sure about this?" Lucas asked Zay.

"We look good."

Lucas looked at Lollie, "We look good?"

Lollie smiled back, "You want the truth?"

He shook his head.

"You look great."
