the instagram live stream began as soon as Tom entered the room where his aunt was packing up.

"last minute really is the best time to pack." he laughed at the woman, who tried to close an overfilled suitcase.

"says the guy who literally just finished his own packing." It was an easy smile she wore.

"at least he did finish, Tini." Aaron yelled from her living room. As one for her oldest friends, he'd drive them both to the airport.

"in your face, tini." he laughed with glee, already excited for the coming months. specially with their announcement in a few minutes.

"shut the hell up, Thomas."

as they interacted, thousands of fans reacted on the comments. almost a year ago, when people had learned both rising stars were related, there was a lot of rumors. she wanted his fame, was secretly a gold digger and so many more. but now everyone was jealous of their close relationship. the brothers, as the Holland boys called themselves, were all incredibly happy to have such an awesome aunt. for Tom that meant a lot of Spider-Man jokes.

"so mature." their driver leaned on the doorway to the bedroom.

"thank you, Ray." Tom's phone turned around to catch Martina's short dance. only then did they all remember there were a lot of people watching them. "oh, hi people!"

even if she had gotten considerably more popular after her appearance in several broadway shows, and even some indie movies, May would never get used to how her younger cousins did things. why couldn't they just release an official statement and let that be it? people began answering with hi's and hello's in several different languages, eager to see what was the big secret.

"hey, everyone. as you know we are about to begin production for the next Spider-Man movie." it was certainly admirable how he handled things.

"I am so, so excited." the woman's had, after all, grown up on the old comics from school.

"and my amazing aunt will be going with me." people asked for lots of stories, pictures and even vlogs. ever since she had gotten closer to her sister's family, Nikki could sleep a lot better. Martina was taking a break of job after job on Broadway, even trying out acting in movies after a long time (she did miss movie sets). Getting this part had been a dream come true, nothing people could say would change that. "because as of today, she will be a part of the marvel universe as Calliope Alistair."

that character had been a fan favorite and for a while people had been wondering when she'd be introduced to the MCU.

"i can't wait for you to see how she comes to life." immediately anxious thoughts begun flooding her as fictional headlines came from imagination. nothing changed in outward posture but Aaron could see by how straight her posture was, the shortness of breaths and specially how she kept putting a small strand of hair behind the left ear. he sent a small encouraging smile, one that came from almost a decade of friendship. "and also so many videos. comment on my last picture whatever suggestions you may have!"

no matter what happened, she was going to have fun with her first movie since 2014.

"hey, you dipshits." their visitor yelled before before stealing the phone. "while we would be delighted to stay and chat, I love you too random person from Brazil called Ana, my friend has terrible timing and we're late already."

¡the live transmission has ended!
