My brother has been talking about Mal non-stop. He is really in love with her. It's cute.

Today is Family Day. I'm standing behind Ben as we starts singing.

"Ma chére Mademoiselle." Ben starts as he walks forwards. I walk after him and stand beside him.

"It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure" I continue.

"That we welcome you tonight." We continue walking.

"And now we invite you to relax."

"Let us pull up a chair."

"As the dining room proudly presents."

"Your dinner." We say together and bow.

"Be our guest, be our guest. Put our service to the test. Tie your napkin 'round your neck, chérie. And we'll provide the rest." The rest sing and dance.

"That's right." Ben and I say.

"Soup du jour. Hot hors d'oeuvres. Why, we only live to serve. Try the gray stuff. It's delicious."

"Alright." I say.

"Don't believe me? Ask the dishes."

"Yeah." The music changes. And the guys surround us and start dancing a bit.

"They can sing, sing, sing. They can dance, dance, dance. After all, miss, this is France."

"Uhuh."

"And a dinner here is never, never second best. Come on."

Ben and I start to dance with them.

"Go on, unfold your menu. Go on, take a glance. And then you'll-"

"Alright." Ben and I low-five the guys next to us.

"Be our guest, be our guest, be our guest."

"Yeah. Yeah. Come on. Yeah. Be our guest, guest. Yeah, yeah. We tell jokes."

"Jokes."

"I do tricks."

"Tricks." The guys go back and the girls surround us.

"With my fellow candlesticks."

"And it's all in perfect taste that you can bet. Come on and lift your glass. You've won your own free pass. To be our guest."

"If you're stressed, it's fine dining we suggest."

"Be our guest, be our guest, be our guest. Yeah."

"Come on. Be our guest, be our guest. Come on, come on."

"Be our guest." Everyone cheers and Ben and I smile as we finish singing.

We walk to our parents and mom gives us a kiss on the cheek. "That was so lovely!"

"Thanks." We say in unison. Then we walk towards a place to make a photo.

"Ready?" The photographer asks. Mom is on my right, Ben on my left and dad on Ben's left.

We smile and stand ready for the picture, but Ben interrupts it.

"Oh! By the way, I have a new girlfriend." Ben smiles.

"Well, I never wanted to say anything, but I always thought Audrey was a little self-absorbed. With a fake smile and kind off a kiss-up." Mom says. I nod.

"Do we know your new girlfriend?" Dad asks.

"On the count of three. One, two.." The photographer says.

"Well, sort of." He gestures with his hand for Mal to come. "Mal!" She walks towards us.

"Three." Ben and I smile for the picture as mom and dad look shocked. Ben walks forwards, away from our parents.

"Mal. Mal, I wanna introduce you to my parents." They hug and Ben grabs her hand as they turn towards us.

"This is Mal." She looks kinda nervous as she looks up at our parents. "From the island. My girlfriend."

"Hi." Mom says still shocked but covering it up with a smile.

"Hi." Mal greets her back. Dad just gives her a wave.

"I was thinking maybe she can join us for lunch."

"Of course. Any, any friend of Ben's.." Dad trails off.

"Oh uhm, I actually came with my friends."

"Well, you should invite them!" Mom says. "Because, the more, the merrier!"

"Yeah, I'll go grab them." Mal smiles as she's about to walk towards them.

"How about a game of croquet before lunch?" Dad asks.

Mal turns back and looks up at Ben. "Ofcourse!"

"Game on." Ben gives dad a fist-bump and then walks away with Mal.

"Game on." Dad repeats. 

"Hey, Ben! Is it alright if I go with you guys?" I step towards them.

Ben looks over his shoulder at me. "Sure!" He says with a smile.

I catch up with them. "Have you played croquet before?" He askes Mal while he has his arm around her. 

"No." She looks a bit worried.

"No? You will."

I look behind me for a second and I see my mom almost faint. Ohhh they are so worried about Ben and his new girlfriend from the Isle.
