BY DUSK, THEY WENT TO DENISE'S HOME. well, only, dallas and denise as, kiawentiio went with ethan. as they stepped towards the front door, dallas couldn't help but feel nervous. "your whole family is here?.." dallas asked as he fiddled with his fingers.
"yeah, my aunt, uncle, cousins, siblings, grandparents." denise confirmed as they got to the front door. she then noticed how dallas was nervous as he was trying to calm himself down. denise held his hand, intertwining their fingers together.
"you'll be fine, they like you so much, even if you guys only met once, but they ask about you alot, don't worry, hmkay?" she reassured him, he nodded as he took a deep breathe.
before she could knock, the door already opened. it was her older cousin. "eyy! there's our graduate!" her cousin said.
"eyy!" denise gave him a high five. "dallas, this is my older cousin, shimero." denise smiled introducing her cousin. "nice to meet you dallas" shimero said shaking dallas' hand. "nice to meet you too" dallas said smiling back trying to make a good first impression.
"come in come in" shimero stepped aside, making some room for them to enter. they walked to the living room, which was filled with her siblings and cousins.
"what the hell?" she muttered as chaos was everywhere. "ate denise!!" a little girl pulled on her "what?" denise asked as the girl tried to pull her with all her strength.
( ate /a-te/ ; older sister in tagalog. )
"play monster with me!" the girl said still trying to pull her. "what? sorry but no──"
everything went silenced when a boy gasped and pointed at dallas. "it's prince zuko!" the boy exclaimed. "hey! how about katara?!" "and suki!" "I wanna see sokka!"
blabbers from the four younger forms of life. "damn you have many, siblings." dallas commented seeing at least five childs there. "oh, most of them are my cousins, I only have two siblings, remember?" denise smiled as the boy who pointed dallas out came over to them.
"ate, is this really zuko?" the boy asked looking up at dallas. "yeah, dallas, this is archie, my little brother." denise said as the boy continued to look up at dallas.
"his favorite character is also zuko." denise added making dallas smile. "really?" dallas chuckled as he ruffled archies hair.
"no" she said sarcastically "joke" she laughed.
archie then ran off somewhere. "he idolizes zuko very much." denise said turning to dallas. she then pulled him up the stairs. "where are we going?" he asked as they made their way up.
