"Oh, it's no problem." Kenzie still gave Diego no say. Luckily his family liked having guests. "You're gonna love his mom's cooking."

Kenzie and Diego
After practicing for a while, the band headed out to the parking lot. Diego's car looked like it was held together by rust, but it ran perfectly. He drove them to a tall, narrow house crammed in between two modern businesses. Ivy covered the whole face of it, so it looked like a wall of green with a bright blue roof on top like a hat. Kenzie turned to Mick and smiled. "Don't you love it?"

As they climbed the front steps an elderly woman stuck her head out the door and yelled in rapid-fire Spanish. "Diego, cuántas veces tenemos que alimentar que la novia Américana de los tuyos? Así, no te quedes ahí, entra, entra!" She ushered them inside, looking Mick over, then shuffled off muttering darkly about 'Americanos.'

Kenzie and Diego
Kenzie laughed. "That's just Diego's abuela - his grandmother. She's like that with anyone who isn't Spanish, don't worry about it." Diego led them into the kitchen, where his abuela was engaged in a glaring match with a middle-aged woman hovering over the stove. She saw them come in and immediately swooped over to hug Diego. "Ah, my son!" She swept Kenzie into a big hug as well. "And Kenzie, dear! So good to see you again!" She turned to Mick. "And who is this?"

Micheal Bowie
Mick offered his hand and introduced himself "I'm Micheal Bowie. But you can call me Mick"
Kenzie and Diego
"Our new band-mate," Kenzie explained. The woman took Mick's hand, then pulled him into a hug as well. "Then you are welcome here! I am Maria Corzon Reyes. This is my husband's mother, Esmeralda Martinez Reyes. You must call her Senora or she will spit on you. My Roberto is away - he travels much for business - but you will meet my Javier and Milagro. You will stay for dinner, of course." As she spoke she was busily tending the food. "We have roasted lamb, potato omelettes, gazpacho, and pa amb oli." She motioned Mick over. "Come, you must taste the soup. This is the finest gazpacho you will find, from an old family recipe, very refreshing. Try some!" Kenzie was smothering a laugh, and even Diego was smiling. Kenzie joined Mick at the stove. "I have a theory that the reason Diego and his father don't talk much is because with the rest of the family they'd never get a word in anyway."
((I'm loving Diego's family, and I've only introduced two of them so far.))

Mick tried the soup as told and smiled. He replied "It's good" He turned to Kenzie and said "you gotta try this"
Kenzie Leota
Kenzie grinned and gladly sampled it as well. "Mrs. Reyes is an amazing cook. At home it's mostly fast food and TV dinners, so I'm over here all the time. I don't know what the food situation's like at your place, but you should join me when I visit."

Re: Just My Luck
Mrs. Reyes smiled. "You are both welcome any time, and any other friends you wish to bring. It is good to see Diego with friends. Now, you may wait in the sitting room until dinner is ready. Go on, away with you." She shooed them into the next room, where a young girl was playing with her action figures. She barely glanced at them before going back to her Superman toy. "Oh Wonder Woman, I will always love you, but Batman has my heart now." She used a high-pitched voice for Wonder Woman - "But if I can't have you, no one can!" - and a deep one for Batman "I will fight you for him, not-so-Wonder Woman!" She looked at her toys thoughtfully, then up at Diego and his friends. "Who do you think would win?"

Mick put his hands on his hips and hummed for a second before replying playfully "I say Batman"
Kenzie and Diego
Kenzie agreed with Mick, but Diego answered "Wonder Woman" in a dull voice. Only a sort of twinkle in his eye suggested that he was playing. The girl seemed to recognize it, because she jumped up, put one hand on her hip, and wagged a scolding finger at him. "That's not right, Diego. You always have to make it difficult. I say they win cuz there's two of them." She grinned up at Kenzie and Mick. "I'm Milagro."

Milagro looked him over with both hands on her hips. "You're cute." She nodded sharply. "Whose are you?" Kenzie snorted in laughter but pointed to herself when Mick couldn't see.

Kenzie choked on air and opened her mouth wordlessly a few times. Diego quirked an eyebrow and looked at Mick. "I've never seen her speechless before." Milagro mimicked his look. "Yeah, she never shuts up."

Mick placed a hand on Kenzie's forehead and said "you alright? You don't seem feverish"
Kenzie Leota
Kenzie smacked Mick's hand away. "Oh, shut up. How am I supposed to react when you say stuff like that?" She grinned at him, only mock annoyed.

Kenzie and Diego
Kenzie smacked Mick lightly on the back of the head. "Oh, be quiet." A laugh behind them signaled that Diego's mother had come into the room. "Dinner is ready. Come to the dining room." The food was all set out. They each had a bowl of thin tomato soup, a piece of roast lamb, a crispy potato omelet, and a slice of fried bread with tomatoes and olive oil. Kenzie dragged Diego and Mick into the seats beside her at the round table. Milagro took the seat next to Mick, with her Batman and Superman sitting on the table between them. Across the table, a man a few years older than Diego was gabbing excitedly about an obscure artist. Diego nodded to him. "My brother Javier."

Mick. Froze.
He wasn't used to huge family dinners. Nor was he very social. Overall this situation was foreign to him. The food was good, but the chatting around him made him jumpy. He never knew if someone was trying to get his attention.

Diego nudged Kenzie, who leaned over to whisper in Mick's ear. "You ok?"
