"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!"

That tone meant one thing, and one thing only. He was in trouble. Tensing up, he waited for his door to open, and Phil to barge in. And when he did, he was surprised to see that he didn't look quite as mad as he'd expected him too. He didn't know what he'd done, but still.

"Did you perhaps forget to tell me something about today?"

Today? It was saturday. Like every other day, he was lounging about on social media, and Phil was watching shows with Winnie. Confusion spread over his face as he looked up at the elder male, and an aggravated noise escaped from him, his hand went onto his jutted out hip.

"Louise is coming over you idiot!"

He fell off his bed in shock, he had completely forgotten! Getting up off the ground, he scrambled around his room, in a panic. He had no idea what to do. Phil just sighed and grabbed his arm, bringing him close to him, wrapping his arms around him. And he had to admit, he was calm in no time flat. He hid his face into his chest and groaned.

"I'm sorry, I forgotten to mention it! She's bringing Darcy over to see us, but really, I'm gonna surprise her, and, well. .."

Rubbing at the bridge of his nose, he let out an annoyed sigh. He knew that Phil was trying to think of what could happen, but really, what was the harm? Louise was a close friend, and she knew when to keep a secret. And it might be a nice for Winnie to have a playmate.

"She just called me. She'll be here in 5 minutes, Dan. 5 minutes! What are we gonna say to her!?"

"Well, let's just tell her the truth! We adopted Winnie, we love her, and she's her aunt."

He was fine with that answer, and he pushed past Phil to go back into the living room, where Winnie was still watching her show. She had grown to enjoy Steven Universe, even though that was a tad to old for her, she really seemed to understand it and appreciate it. It was so cute.

"I thought you weren't ready to tell people yet!"

"Well Louise isn't most people! She's a good friend! Just shut up about it already!"

He hadn't meant to snap, but he had, and he was fuming. Huffing at Phil he turned away from him and went to sit next to Winnie, a smile on his face as he looked towards the screen. Steven was currently floating in the air, apparently having an issue getting down. Oh golly Steven.

Before too long a knock came from the door, and he watched as Phil just glared at him, and went to answer it. He heard Louise's greetings, and Darcy ran into the living room. He saw as her light eyes lit up at the sight of Winnie, and when Dan paused the show she noticed her too.

"Mummy! There's a little girl in here! Come here! Come here!"

Darcy was jumping up and down, and Louise was in the room in no time, her hands squishing her cheeks in disbelief as she looked from Dan to Phil, and then to Winnie. Getting down onto her knees and grinning at the girl who was suddenly hiding behind Dan's legs, shy suddenly.

"My name is Louise! Who are you, you sweet little angel you."

Winnie just hid behind Dan's legs, and he merely just smiled at her. He knew Louise took some time to get used to, it took him a little bit, Phil having been her friend first, and him having to get used to her, but he did in good time. And now they seemed closer than her and Phil had EVER gotten, though they were rather awkward about it. Patting Winnie's head he looked towards Louise and answered for her, Phil was watching nervously still.

"Her name is Winnie Mae, Lou. She's almost 3, and I think the perfect age to be a playmate for Darcy, don't you agree?"

"Oh! Yes! Monkey, come over here! Meet Winnie!"
