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?
