     A group of four boys were struggling to get dressed, one was stuck in his pair of grey and black skinny jeans since the little brunette accidentally put both of his legs in one pant.
    The small dinosaur child had put two eyepatches on to see what it would look like but in the attempt of taking it off he had realised that they had both tangled at the back.
    The youngest of the four had successfully gotten into his squirrel onesie, unfortunately he could not reach the zipper on the back.
    Last but not least, the raven haired boy whom was having difficulties with his shirt, his arms getting twisted while he attempted to fit into his white, and purple tee.

    "Do we really have to meet the guest Auntie Crystal? Why can't we just stay here and play Minecraft?" The black haired boy asked, his words growing muffled by the fabric of his shirt, making it seem almost impossible to decipher.
    The brunette groaned in agreement, now getting his leg out of the same pant, and attempting to shove it into the other one, not noticing he was putting it on backwards.

    "Because Jin, you, and the others need to talk to other people, you can't just spend all of your hours playing Minecraft. Maybe you can with the guest." Crystal answered.
    "Now, let me help you boys." She started by helping her son, Sky put on his pants right, she pulled the zipper up for little Ross whom cheered happily at the comfortable feeling of his onesie.
    She went to untangle the eyepatches off of Barney's head, the ends fluttering in the air before letting him put on one by himself, supervising to see if he needed help.
     Then she got the shirt off of Jin, and guided him to where he would put his arms in, slipping into the tee easily.

    "Put on your little finishing touchings boys! I need to finish getting prepped downstairs." Crystal ordered lightheartedly, grinning from the excitement, she started bounding down the stairs while humming jingle bells to get to the kitchen to take the baked potatoes out of the oven until she heard the doorbell ring.
    "They're here!" She squealed, alerting the other parents, Felicia, Ross' mother with Mackenzie, her wife, Sam, Barney's dad, and Andy, Jin's parent.

    "I'll go get the potatoes Crystal, you get the door." Felicia yelled across the first floor, rushing to get to the kitchen, almost tripping over Sam's backpack, luckily she was caught by Mackenzie last second.
    "Thank you." Crystal called back to her, sprinting to the entrance to greet their childhood friend. "Be careful sweetheart, we don't want your arm broken again." Mackenzie warned her wife, helping her up.

    "Of course I will, I just need to get the potatoes." Felicia said, ready to run into the kitchen until she saw Sam walk out with the tray in his arms, gloves securely gripping the glass dish.
    "I've got it." He announced to the small group. Meanwhile Crystal opened the door, and met her gaze with hazel eyes, she squealed, and lurched forward, tightly wrapping her arms around the female, the other reciprocated the hug gladly.

     "Jade, it's been too long." Crystal greeted her with a wide grin, breaking away from the hug, and taking a step back .
    "I couldn't agree more with you Crystal." Jade retorted, picking up a purple grocery bag from the floor and adjusting it over her shoulder. That was when Crystal noticed a small little girl that looked identical to her childhood friend.
    Her hazel orbs looked at her innocently with her head tilted like a puppy. She smiled warmly and kneeled down to the little girl's height.

      "Now, who might this be?" Sky's mother asked, glancing up at the Hispanic for an answer, "That's Jessica, my daughter, Jess this is an old friend of mine, her name is Crystal." The mother introduced them both to each other, "Jessica? That's a pretty name." She complimented, ruffling the small girl's hair fondly.

      "Say thank you Jessie." Jade coaxed her five year old to speak with a fond smile that the little girl couldn't see.
   
    "T-thank you miss Crystal." Jessica obliged, keeping her hands close to her chest as she glanced around, peering her head a little forward to catch a glimpse of the house. Curious hazel eyes roamed the sight of the entrance.
