Helping out her best friend by playing the lead in that music video project for university had seemed like an easy enough feat for art student Lorelai García. Only, it wasn't. Especially since not only Lorelai, but the whole first team of the FC Bar...

Sunday came around quicker than Lorelai would've thought and after she'd picked up her sisters with Diego's car and gotten back to her apartment, Jane and Diego were waiting with a late brunch as a form of unofficial welcome to their casa — quite unbelievable, but neither of Lorelai's family had been to her living quarters ever since she'd moved in a few years ago.
»Awesome!« Laurín was impressed, as was to be expected from a teenager dreaming of independence. »I'm so going to study in Barcelona and get an apartment like this when I'm older!«
The thought alone made Lorelai snicker; her parents would not like to see Laurín follow her older sister's example, at all. Well, maybe if she were to study something »useful«. Lilia looked around the place with her, while Luna stayed in the kitchen with Diego — who was already helping the little girl with some of his infamous colourful pancakes.
After brunch, Luna wanted to know what they were going to do for the day.
»Well,« Lorelai began with a smile. »I thought we start the day with a trip to the Parc Güell. It's one of the most beautiful parks ever. Plus, we'll take the dogs and meet Marc Bartra there.« She'd tried her best to sound nonchalant while saying the last bit. Thank God the team had come back from Granáda in the morning.
»No way!« Laurín squealed.
»Yes, way! Let's go get ready! I asked Marc to be there by eleven.«
»Is Neymar coming too?« Luna wanted to know and at the mention of him, Lilia looked up from her e-book reader as well, eyeing her curiously. »Sarah misses him already.« She held up the doll that she'd brought along for the parade as well. How come the little girl could still remember that chance meeting anyhow? It couldn't have left that much of an impression, could it? How the heck had Neymar managed to bewitch her sisters so bad?
»I'm sorry, girls, but he can't make it,« Lorelai lied, recalling the promise she'd given their mother.
Also, she'd pretty much forbidden him — after hearing the news about her day with her sisters, Neymar had offered to join them, but she'd blatantly refused, which had ended in an argument. Seriously, what was the point of having a secret relationship when you went out and flaunted it out in the open, with members of her family present to underline a seriousness they themselves hadn't even come around to talk about yet? No, the gossip and media uproar she could gladly live without.
Unfortunately, Neymar didn't heed her words.
When they arrived at the park, not only did Marc wait with his Bulldog lady Nina — next to them, with a smug look on his face just asking her to blow up in it, stood her Brazilian boyfriend with the not such a little Golden Retriever puppy anymore Poker. And to make sure they'd get the attention of each and every person visiting Parc Güell today, Leo Messi had apparently decided that it was a good day to spend time with his teammates — and the dog he and Antonela had gotten over Christmas.
