Steve and Ian buzzed around the living room, handing out burgers and drinks to everyone.

"Burgers coming through!" Yelled Ian as he walked over to where Daniela was sitting in a green chair beside the wall. Standing up, Daniela let Ian sit down before popping down onto his lap. After he sat down he held out a burger and drink to her.

"Double cheeseburger with extra pickles and mustard and a strawberry milkshake." Daniela smiled and took it.

"Thank you."

Fiona tore her eyes away from the television to look at her other brother.

"Uh, Lip, napkins?" The blonde girl- who Daniela knew to be Karen- stood up next to him offering to get them. Lip politely denied, urging her to sit.

"Only ketchup," read out Steve before an eager Debbie piped up.

"Me. Me!"

"Extra onions, jalapenos," The door opened and in walked Veronica, hopping over the couch to sit on the other side of Fiona whilst grabbing her burger from Steve's hand.

"Make room," she ordered, turning to look at Karen curiously. "Who's this?"

"This is Karen," informed Lip, coming back with a wad of napkins which he placed down on the coffee table in front of Daniela. Veronica was in the middle of asking Karen what size shirt she was when Fiona told her to shut up and directed her focus to the screen.

Daniela unwrapped her burger and began diving into it, not bothering to be dainty and mask the fact that she was starving. She felt Ian's chest rumble from a silent chuckle causing her to turn and raise an eyebrow at him.

"What?" Ian covered up his laughs and shook his head.

"Nothing, it's just, if you keep eating like that you might break my legs". Knowing he was joking, Daniela playfully gasped and punched him in the shoulder making him groan and her grin.

"Asshole", she cursed, turning back to the television and settling against him.

As she was drinking from her milkshake, Daniela noticed a pair of eyes staring at her. Looking to her left, she spotted Lip as the culprit. The boy stared at her oddly, watching as she drank from her straw. His eyes were focused on her mouth- more importantly, her full lips- wrapped around the plastic.

Realizing what he was thinking, Daniela quickly stopped drinking and instead placed her cup down onto the table. When she looked back at Lip, his attention was already gone- now focusing on Karen.

They were ten minutes into the program when the door closed- alerting them of Frank's appearance. Daniel's eyes widened as she took in the man's bloodied face.

"You okay, Frank?" Asked a concerned Steve as everyone's attentions turned towards the man.

Daniela felt Ian tense in anger underneath her before he gently urged her off of him. The girl watched as her friend crossed over in front of the TV.

"Hey," he called. When Frank continued walking, paying no attention, Ian grew angrier. "That my shirt?" Ian pointed to the green flannel his father was wearing. Frank looked at him before nodding his head.

"Yeah," he said in an obvious tone. When he started advancing on Ian, Daniela grew worried; watching as Ian began backing up.

"Uh, I'm just asking," soothed Ian nervously. Daniela was about to stand up and get in between them when Frank- out of nowhere- head butted Ian, sending everyone into an uproar. The girl felt her blood boil as she quickly rushed to her friend.
