A Nice Relaxing Walk

 

Nathan: Wow, Miguel and Marco, that was a great barbecue you guys put on!

Holly Belle: Yes, it was delicious.

Marco: Gracias, amigos

Miguel: It's all in the sauce!

Nathan: You know, we should all go on a little stroll.

A walk after dinner is always so relaxing.

Holly Belle: What a great idea!  I'll need to get my purse first.

Nathan: Purse?!?

Ten minutes later...

Nathan: Finally!  What do you have in there that's so important?

Holly Belle: Oh, you know, the usual stuff--lippy, compact, hankie, flashlight,

duct tape, 3-in-1 pocket multi tool, anti-zombie spray...

Dan Ryan: Good grief!

Holly Belle: Hey, a girl's got to be prepared for anything.

Nathan: Well, at least we're ready now.

Dan Ryan: Actually, I should use the bathroom first.

Marta: Oh, me too!

Meghan: And I need to change my shoes.

Charles: I should probably feed my frogs first.

Wendell: Maybe I should change my underwear.

Nathan: AAARRGGHH!

Thirty minutes later...

Holly Belle: Okay, we're all ready now.

Nathan: >Sigh<  I've lost interest.

Holly Belle: But Nathan, a walk after dinner is always so relaxing.

Meeting the New Boy VIII: Diego Luis

 

Pete Dakota: BR, BR, BR!

Benjamin Roy: What, Pete? What, Pete? What, Pete?

Pete: Chance is home from the Festival!

BR: That's not news; we were expecting him back.

Pete: He didn't come home alone!

BR: Whoa.  Now that's news.

Chance Victor: Hi, fellas.  This is our new brother Diego Luis!

Diego Luis: Hola, mis amigos.  Well, mis hermanos, now, I guess.

Chance: Daddy John adopted him from Aunt Florence.  

BR: Hi, I'm BR

Pete: And I'm Pete Dakota.  Welcome!

Diego Luis: Oh, er, ay Dios mío...

Chance: Okay, too much.  Just breathe.  It's all good.

Can I get you anything?

Diego: Well, could I have a shower?  And a change of clothes?

I feel like I've been wearing these for 50 years.

Chance: Of course.

A bit later...

Chance: Hi, there he is!  Feel better?

Diego: ¡Sí! That helped; I can do this.

Diego: But pobre de mi, these are the only other clothes I brought with me.

I have nothing else to wear.

Chance: That's okay.  I'm a model and I have tons of outfits.

I'll share.  I know they'll fit you.

Diego: ¡Gracias!

Chance: Did you have a chance to meet any of the other kids?

Diego: Well, I did meet a girl in the kitchen...

Diego: Hola, I am --

Uli: --Ach, too skinny!  I vill fatten you up.

Chance: Oh, yeah, that's Uli.

Diego: Then there was another girl...

Diego: Buenas días, señorita, I ---

Holly Belle: Enchanted, dear.

Be a pet and bring in those bags from the other room for me.

Chance: That sounds like Holly Belle.

After her, meeting everyone else will be a cake walk.

Even Stephen Orange.

Diego: Other than those other two boys this morning, I have 

not yet met any other brothers.  Well, there was one who said he was a model.

Chance: >Sniff< That was me.

Diego: Ay chihuahua...Uh, shall we kick the football around a bit?

Chance: >Hmmpf< I suppose...

Diego: Ay, Diego Luis, mijo, what have you gotten yourself into?

Big Fun in Columbus

 Daddy John: Chance Victor and I escaped the Sasha Festival for about an hour and visited a toy store that we were told we simply MUST visit.

Daddy John: Who's ready for some big fun?

Chance Victor: Me-me-meeeee!

Chance: Superhero action figures--Daddy John's 

favorite toys when he was my age.

Chance: Oh, Kirwan Mahoney would love one of these!

Chance: So many Hot Wheels!

Chance: Classic old Hot Wheels!

I'm pretty sure Daddy John is drooling...

Daddy John: I had to remind Chance that this wasn't a library.

Chance is slightly dubious of 

Daddy John buying a couple more dolls...
