"martin!! get here right now, theyre here!," jackie shouted. 
as martin sulked to the lounge without his beloved calculator, he glanced at the ladies slightly weirded out.


"who are you?"
"uhh im cassidy. remember, cassidy calero?"
"dad, have you been listening to a single thing mum has been bickering about all night?" jonny questioned with a confused look on his face. "she doesnt look THAT different." he said, even though he knew she looked pretty different if she didnt have her features that stood out
"thank you, jonny! and no, he hasnt because hes been on his bloody calculator all day," jackie exclaimed.
"anyways martin, go and check the food."
jackie took a plop down on the sofa and sighed. "hes honestly such a pain in the arse sometimes, i swe-"
"DINNERS READY!!"

~

they all made their way to the table and took a seat. martin rushed in with the food in pain.
"err martin, why are you not wearing the oven gloves?"
"theyre bloody buggered."
the pair had an argument with eachother whilst everyone else just stood there staring. cassidy then fell into her own little world and started daydreaming, as usual.

she then snapped out of her daze and looked at jonny, noticing that he was staring at her. they smiled at eachother then looked down. 

i cant be all lovey dovey around him. ive only just met him after god knows how long. get yourself together you dickhead !

as martin and jackie calmed down, they took a seat and jackie revealed what they were all going to be eating that night.
"so, tonight is lamb, potatoes and salad," jackie announced.
"mm looks delicious jackie!" zoe commented.
"thanks love!"
"yes, i must say jackie, this is a lovely bit of squirrel!"

"AHAHHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHH," martin yelled, making everyones ears ring.

he then wheezed for about five seconds.

as they all settled down and tucked in, it was time for the many questions about what they had all been doing over the years. jackie was first to ask, which cassidy found quite dissapointing because she hadnt heard much about the boys. they had been silent most of the time, which she found pretty odd.

"so cassie lassie, have you had any jobs in the past, like, what are you looking for here now?" jackie asked her.

"well, i was working as a lifeguard before, but ive always been into music and i have the gcses and stuff for it, so i'll be looking for something to do with that," cassidy replied. 

adam finally spoke up. "im actually a writer for jingles on the radio and stuff like that."

yesss. she had finally found out something!

"yeh, he wrote a jingle about arse tablets. 'saaayyy helloooooo to a beautiful behiiiiindddd!'" jonny sung in a low voice, trying to impersonate an opera singer.

cassidy felt the table shake a little and she glanced underneath the table. she could see that the boys were kicking eachothers legs and pinching eachothers thighs. she looked back up and saw that their faces were creased in pain and red. jackie noticed this.

"are you alright boys?"

"yep. mhm. we're super great !" jonny tried to assure his mum. his voice had come out all squeaky and his voice cracked too. cassidy looked down at her dinner plate and tried her hardest not to giggle. her face was almost as red as the boys.

"hmm. ok then. just eat your food."

~~

cassidy was actually very socially awkward, and wanted to get out of the dining room asap so she could avoid any more conversation. she had a feeling something bad would happen. she then had a flashback to yesterday night about her mum telling her to socialise with everyone.

"ok cass, i dont want you to be sitting there silent the whole time being antisocial. please dont ruin this for me."

cassidy decided the only way to get out of talking was to scoff the food down. she was just getting desperate now. she wanted to leave because she was scared that she would say something that would make her look like a dickhead, weirdo ect. 

she started to eat as quickly and as quietly as she could. but adam noticed her actions.

"cass, are you okay?"

she froze for a moment. "oh yeh! jufst verhy hungrfy!" she said covering her mouth with a napkin. she looked like a pig. she looked down at her plate and realised there was nothing else to eat, but she looked around the table and saw that everyone else had half of their plate left. 

for gods sake

but suddenly, her eyes started watering and she felt bloated and heavy. she realised she was gonna start choking. she didnt want to cause a scene, but she did as she ran to the bathroom quickly. it was gonna get bad.

everyone sat there frozen as they heard her coughing and spluttering in the bathroom. they were used to disgusting things like this because of martin, and he just carried on eating his food like nothing happened. but zoe seemed pretty annoyed about table manners and ect. she went to go and check on her daughter.

meanwhile, jonny was freaking out. he went to check on her too.

she stopped coughing for a second and took deep breaths. she was such an idiot for ruining the dinner. and she just embarrassed herself.
