Second Chances

Dinner Guest

Hana sat across the table from George. "I remember the food you used to cook, Hana." George reminisced.

Hana puts her fork down, "What about my cooking, Andre?"

"What were that noodles called?" George thinks.

"Yakisoba?" Nico guessed.

"Yes," George smiles, "she makes the best yakisoba, I've ever tasted and I went to Tokyo..."

Tina sighs, "Hana, can you help me with something in the kitchen?"

Hana followed her mother to the kitchen, Tina turns to face her daughter, "That man followed you to Tokyo..."

"Yeah," Hana shrugs, "so? Can you people stay out of my love life for ten seconds?" Hana leaves.

Tina shakes her head.

Hana sat back down, just as the doorbell rings. She looks at the people who had no intent of getting up and getting the door. Hana sighs and gets the door; as she opens it, she screams. "Oh my God!"

The woman with thick black hair, big brown eyes, full lips, and pale skin jokes, "Wow, Minoru, I thought you'd be happy to see me..."

Hana embraced the woman, "How the hell are you?"

"Well," the woman sighs, "Oh my lola made these batch for you..."

Hana looks down at the silver party tray in the woman's hand, "Now, it's a party. Come on in, Guita."

Guita enters the mansion and follows Hana to the dining room, "Little Minoru."

"Hi Guita." Nico smiles.

"Doc George." Guita waves at George.

"Minoli." George nods.

"I'm so happy you could make it, Guita." Tina walks in.

"Of course, ma'am, sir calls and tells me my bff is here," Guita explained. "I need to be here." Guita sat down.

"Geoffrey Wilders," Geoffrey introduced, "my son, Alex, my wife, Tamar, and her son, Xerxes."

"Nice to meet you, sir." Guita nods.

"I'm Karolina Dean," Karolina sighs, "and this is my mom, Leslie. I'm also Nico's girlfriend."

"Nice."

"Stacey Yorkes," Stacey smiles, "my husband, Dale, and our two girls, Gert and Molly."

"Victor Stein, and my son, Chase." Victor sighs.

"Hi." Guita waves.

"How do you know Hana?" Leslie asked.

"Oh that takes me back," Guita smiles, "we were auditioning for Ms. Saigon in Atlas Academy seventh grade. We were both understudies for a blonde hair blue eyed girl, Amanda, for Kim. So we rehearsed the lines and ques for every part, then the opening night came and Amanda and the girl who played Ellen, I got Ellen and she got Kim."

"So you're also a singer?" Stacey asked.

"Oh yes," Hana smirks, "she's a singer and a dancer now works as a lawyer..."

"Wow," Gert smiles, "is it just me or is everyone of your friends in a great career? I mean we have a doctor, a lawyer, and the youngest CEO of a company... Seriously?! What the hell was in the water when you were in Atlas?"

Hana smirks at George, "You wanna say it?"

George grins, "No, I think it should be Minoli. It was her plan after all."

Guita smiles, "I tell you later, I don't wanna spoil dinner..."
