Modern AU, don't hate the last names, I used a generator and picked which sounded the best to me.

Also I can't believe I wrote a 2500+ word one-shot based on a single YouTube comment.

It's hard to imagine summer without some sort of barbecue and poolside fun. For many people, it's what first comes to mind when they think of the season, for better or for worse.

As gracious as the twin siblings Rowan and Lianna Miller were for inviting their closest friends over to their home for such a gathering, Xander wasn't as excited as his siblings were at the prospect of going.

"I can't wait!" Elise cheered as the family made their way to their car. "It's been a while since we've had a huge party like this, huh?"

"I think so," Camilla replied, opening the car door for her little sister.

Leo sighed. "As long as I don't get a sunburn, then I'll be fine."

"Are you going to be swimming then, Leo?" Xander asked as he started up the car.

The blonde shook his head furiously. "And risk getting harmed by the sun's UV rays? Of course not."

Xander chuckled. He himself was a poor swimmer, but wouldn't object to doing during intense heat. The car out of the driveway, and the Sinclair family headed to the home of the Millers.

Two young men stood on the house's porch. One of them, a brunette, politely rang the doorbell. Seconds later, a young blonde woman opened the door. "Oh great, you guys made it on time!" she looked outside. "Wait, where's Lissa?"

"Still in the car," the blue haired man responded. "She can't find her sunglasses."

"Ah," she replied. "Come on in."

The two followed the woman inside.

"Darios was the first to show up, but he probably only came for the Switch." She gestured towards the living room, where a raven-haired man was booting up a game boasting a large, eerie tower on the title screen.

"So, want me to show you guys around or something?" she asked the two men. "It's been a while since you've been here."

"Well, actually, Lianna," the brunette replied. "I was hoping to get started on the barbecue."

Lianna frowned. "Already? Frederick, you and Chrom just got here."

"I just wanted to get a head start on cooking, that's all," Frederick explained. "Besides, parties aren't exactly my thing."

"That's Frederick for you," Chrom joked. "Always trying to occupy himself."

Frederick blushed out of embarrassment.

"Well, I don't see why not," Lianna replied. "But don't be afraid to go in the pool later on, okay? I heard it's going to get really hot this afternoon."

The doorbell rang again. "I got it!" a blonde boy, Rowan, replied.

"Don't overwork yourself, okay?" Chrom asked Frederick.

Frederick nodded. "Of course."

"You guys seriously came in without me?" a young girl's voice came from the doorway. "Some brother you are, Chrom!"
