"Sunny, is Beatrice coming home with you for Thanksgiving," Violet asked over the phone.

"Not this time, Violet," Sunny replied a bit hastily.

"Oh, that's too bad, the kids love to see Bea. I'll let everyone know."

"Well... Violet I am bringing someone, just not Bea. She's staying with her family this weekend. She says her uncle Lemony and aunt Moxie were able to make it to dinner this year after how busy he's been. And Kit wants the whole family together for the occasion. Frank and Dewey are taking the weekend off from the Hotel business as usual, but this is one of those rare times that she gets both sides of her family to be home for the holiday."

"Well, that's wonderful to hear," Violet started, "Wait a minute, you are bringing someone?"

There was a short pause and Violet swore she heard hushed voices talking away from the phone speaker before Sunny replied, "Uh, yeah I am... Is that alright?"

"Of course it is. I'll tell the others, and we'll save a seat for them at the table. Are they staying over with you? You know you're staying at Klaus and Izzie's this time, because you stayed with me and Duncan last year."

"Yeah they will be," Sunny replied again sounding a bit on edge.

Violet grew a bit concerned at her sister's tone, but kept her cheerful voice as she asked, "So, who's coming with you?"

Violet nearly dropped her phone in shock when Sunny answered the question.

Violet had called an emergency family meeting in Duncan's office to talk about the newly discovered holiday dinner plans. The six adults gathered in the room waiting to hear what was so important. The kids were in their respective rooms occupying their time with their own activities. Violet was pacing around the room as everyone watched her in confusion.

"Violet, is everything ok," Duncan asked, worried for his wife's behavior.

The inventor sighed, "Yes and at the same time no. I'll start with the good news. Beatrice isn't coming with Sunny this year. Dewey and Frank are taking the weekend off from the Hotel, and Kit's brother Lemony and his wife are able to be in town for the holiday this year. Kit is insisting that the whole family be together for the occasion."

"Oh, that's great," Isadora said smiling, "It's nice to know that Bea gets to be with her whole family this year."

"Then what's the bad news," Klaus asked.

Violet bit her lip nervously, "Sunny is bringing someone else with her instead to meet us. Everyone might want to sit down for this; it's her new 'friend' named Trevor Macready."

Everyone froze in stunned silence. Violet examined their reactions. Duncan and Quigley both looked dumbfounded as if they had just been slapped. Isadora and Fiona's jaws were hanging open in shock. Klaus looked like he was reevaluating all his life decisions in a single instant.

"What," Klaus breathed out after several moments.

Violet nodded, "Sunny is bringing home a boy to meet the family."

"Klaus, honey, are you ok, you look pale," Isadora asked, patting her husband's arm.

"Well... this is surprising news," Quigley said.

"Indeed, I was starting to wonder when this might happen," Fiona added.

"Violet could you explain exactly what is going on here," Duncan asked.
