There's nothing quite like autumn in New York, but it's not only the leaves that change. Something in the air brings out the true colours in everyone.

Ella walked into the living room.
"Why are you all so quiet?"
"Good morning." Bart sat at the table.
"You're back early."
"My last round of meetings wrapped up sooner than expected."
"Rushing home to the family. How long's this layover?" Chuck asked.
"Didn't Lily tell you? I'm here for the long haul."
"And just in time for our housewarming party tomorrow night." Lily said.
"I've been meaning to ask you. Uh, can we bring friends?" Eric questioned.
"Of course, dear. Oh, um, did you get the little suit that I laid out for you, Ella?"
"That was for me? I thought the housekeepers got new uniforms." Ella replied sarcastically.
"Yeah, it's conservative, yes, but classic. 
Bart brought it from Paris. It had its own seat on his plane." Lily explained.
"Bart bought me a suit?"
"New watch." Eric said.
"Cash. Direct deposit into one of my offshore accounts." Chuck added.
"Now that we're all here, Lily and I have something we want to discuss. As tomorrow's party marks our debut as a family, we've been talking about what that actually means. We were thinking along the lines of some guidelines." Bart said.
"Guidelines? For what exactly?" Ella asked.
"For life together. Now that we're all here, having some rules would be nice." Lily answered.
"Like what?"
"Like every Friday, we dine as a family."
"Uh, don't you think Monday would be-" Eric started.
"A weekend curfew of 1am." Bart said.
"Is that Eastern or Pacific?" Chuck asked.
"And no going out on school nights."
"What?"
"Are you serious?"
"All right, all right."
"Mom, where is this coming from?" Serena asked.
"Bart and me. We made the decision together. We are in complete agreement on this matter." Lily replied.
