In Marinette's house, Gina put the finishing touches on the ratatouille before serving everyone.
Tom: Smells good.
Gina: Thank you, Tom. It's almost done. Just gotta check on the meat. *She goes in the oven and sees how the roast is doing.*
Tom: You made roast?
Gina: Yes, I did. It should be done in 5 minutes.
Tom: Kids, while we wait for dinner to be ready, why don't you help set the table?
Bridgette: Okay.
Marin: Okay.
Timmy: Okay. *They go to the kitchen and get plates, cups, utensils, and napkins and set the table.*
Gina: Where's Marinetta?
Tom: I'm sure she's somewhere. She'll come soon.
Gina: Okay. *She put the pan on the stove and wash her hands. Then, the door opened. It was Marinette and Luka.*
Tom: There they are. Luka, are you staying for dinner too?
Luka: Yeah. I asked my mom if I can stay for dinner and she said it was fine.
Tom: Okay. Can one of you set another plate? Luka is staying for dinner.
Marin: I'll do it. *He goes to the kitchen, Gina put on her oven mitts and checks on the roast, she places it on the stove and uses a meat thermometer and checks the temperature.*
Gina: Roast is done.
Tom: Good. Everyone has a seat, dinner's all ready. *They all sit down, Tom pours water from the pitcher into everyone's cup, and he lends Sabine a water bottle.*
Sabine: Thank you, Tom.
Tom: You're welcome. *Gina gets a wooden spoon and she serves everyone some ratatouille first.*
Gina: Luka, I'm sure you love ratatouille.
Luka: I do.
Gina: That's good. What a sweet boy. *She serve Sabine a lot of ratatouille and put the pan in the sink, then she grabbed the roast and a knife and fork.* Here's the roast. *She cut up the roast and serve it to everyone at the table and gives big pieces to Sabine.*
Sabine: Thank you, Gina.
Gina: You're welcome. *She serves herself a piece, put the roast back in the oven, and joins the others, they start eating. They all like it.*
Tom: Mom, this is good.
Gina: Glad you like it. *Marinette took a bite of ratatouille, Timmy take a bite of the roast and chew it slowly, and Bridgette drink some water and take a bite of the roast.* So, how's summer doing you all?
Marinette: It's okay.
Gina: Marin, you out of school now?
Marin: Yep. Just waiting for the fall semester to start.
Gina: That's nice. *She eats some ratatouille.* Luka, how about you?
Luka: I'm doing okay. I start college in the fall.
Gina: That's wonderful. Bridgette, how's it back home? I heard what happened to Evelyn. I'm sorry for your loss.
Bridgette: It's okay. I miss her too. She was my favorite aunt. Can't believe she's gone. *She takes another bite of ratatouille and Timmy eats some too.*
Tom: We all miss her too. Especially your aunt.
Sabine: It's alright. We gotta move to past this kind of stuff. *She munches on the ratatouille some more.*
Marinette: She said she died in her sleep, right?
Tom: Yes.
Marinette: Think she might have a stroke or something?
Tom: You know, come to think of it, maybe. We don't know.
Gina: Well, your uncle died in his sleep. Doctors said he had a stroke.
Timmy: Uncle Hubert?
Gina: Yes. He was 45 when he died. I wanna hear from Luka. What's been going on with you?
Luka: Well, my dad's here.
Gina: Your dad?
Luka: Yeah. There's something I don't wanna talk about.
Gina: I'm sorry to hear that.
Luka: It's okay.
Timmy: Finish. *He grabbed a napkin and wipe his face.* Is there dessert?
Tom: Sorry, Timmy. I didn't make dessert. Tomorrow night I will.
Timmy: Okay.
Tom: In the meantime, how about a cookie?
Timmy: Okay.
Tom: I'll give you one. *He gets up and goes to the cookie jar and gets a cookie for Timmy.* Here you go.
Timmy: Thank you. *He takes the cookie and eats it.*
Bridgette: We still got time before the exhibit unveiling?
Marinette: Yeah. The unveiling's at 7.
Tom: It's 5:15. You got plenty of time.
Gina: We'll leave at 6. Luka, do you wanna come with us?
Luka: Sure. *He takes another bite of ratatouille.*
Gina: Good. You all finish up and enjoy the time you have left until it's time to go.
Kids: Okay. *They keep eating.*
