"Why do we have to do this?" Leo groaned as she set the table with their old traditional Japanese dinner set while Tigerclaw cooked the dinner.

Alopex was at the airport to pick up her mother.
"You know how your Grandmother is." Tigerclaw chuckled. "She's very traditional."
"I know, but why can't she have some Chinese takeout?" She asked.
Suddenly the front door opened and Alopex walked in with a middle-aged Japanese woman following her. This was Alopex's mother Posshu Kitsune. She was a 46 year old human with shiney black hair that was so long that it just touched the floor and warm brown eyes. She wore a very expensive black silk kimono a with reddish/pink floral design.
"Hello sweetie." Kitsune smiled as she hugged her granddaughter.
"Hey Gran. How was your journey?" Leo smiled as they pulled away.
"Oh, it was awful! It was cramped and cold in that plane." She whined as she gave her luggage to her son-in-law.
"Uh Mother, why don't you get settled into your room while we finish dinner?" Alopex smiled quickly as Tigerclaw glared at the human woman. Kitsune shrugged as she clicked her fingers at the mutant tiger.
"Hurry up boy, I want to unpack and relax." She huffed and headed to their guestroom. Tigerclaw took deep breaths to calm down while Leo and Alopex snickered...

After helping Kitsune unpack the family had dinner.

"So Leona, how is school?" The human asked the young turtle.
"It's been great! I've got great friends and I love my subjects." Leo smiled.
"You should have seen her report card, Mother. All As." Alopex beamed with pride. Leo blushed and looked down at her plate.
"And what about boys?" Kitsune smirked, causing Tigerclaw to nearly choke on his drink.
"What do you mean?" Leo asked nervously.
"You know, boyfriends."
"No she doesn't. And she won't unless her mother and I approve of him." Tigerclaw said sternly. Leona just sighed as her mother and Kitsune talked...
...
The next day Leona had to wait after school for her class partner, Raphael, to get out of another detention. When he finally showed up he wasn't very happy.
"Let's just get this over with." He huffed and they headed to the library.
"Gods, give me strength." She muttered before following him. It was going to be a long day...
