Lily never really met her mother. Sure she's seen some pictures and heard some stories from her dad, even watched a few home videos of her from way back when, but she never got to meet her. Lily's mother died giving birth to her. She wasn't the healthiest woman on the planet, her dad said, but was definitely the spunkiest. Since then, it had always just been her and her dad living in their small two-story home, now right beside a Krei Tech construction site. Andrew Huang was a bulk of a man and, being San Fransokyo's Chief of Police, always wore and unintentional scowl.

Andrew had to go out of the house that night, hearing about an illegal bot fight happening in his neighborhood. He wanted to go and assist with apprehending the criminals himself and so, giving a kiss to Lily's forehead and a promise to be back before it got too dark, he left.

Lily and her dad were close. He always did his best to raise his daughter right, even without his wife being physically there. A lot of awkward moments happened between the father-daughter duo, especially when it came to the birds and the bees and her menstrual cycle, but Lily knew her dad was doing what he could and she was grateful for that. She had told him about her crush on this boy she was assigned to consult for his project. Abeit not too open with all the details, Lily always made it a point to try and tell her dad about the general things she got to experience at school.

"You sure? You're not really the sporty type." Lily smiled, sending her reply to Tadashi's text.

The pair had exchanged numbers ages ago but never really got to casually texting each other up until recently.

"Babe, you don't know the half of it. For your information, I snowboard."

Tadashi was surprisingly quite the flirt in their texts and chats, occasionally calling Lily "babe" or "hon" for fun in their conversations. It surprised her at first but after imagining him saying those lines to her face in person, they just made her laugh, snort and blush immaturely.

"Oh really? I'll believe it when I see it." She smiled, pressing the send button. Lily heard sirens pass by outside her home remembering the alleged illegal bot fight happening nearby.

A few months since Lily and Tadashi started working on their dissertation and Baymax respectively, Hiro had graduated high school early, which surprised her and her father more than it did Tadashi and Aunt Cass. He was already scheduled to take all his final exams earlier that year, Tadashi had explained, so it made sense Hiro chose to graduate earlier than everyone else.

"Are you asking me out on a date, Ms. Huang?"

"Are you, Mr. Hamada?"

Lily laughed at their antics. Both of them had already, by then, established a mutual attraction to each other. Neither, though, had, in Gogo's terms, "womanned up" to tell the other straight in the face, which was both entertaining and frustrating for the gang and the pair themselves.

Hearing a scuffle outside, Lily made her way downstairs and out the door. She was greeted by flashing light of blue and red and a familiar mop of black hair being shoved into one of the police cars. "Hiro?", she called out. "Huh?", she heard a voice squawk before hearing a car door shut. "Wait! He's with me!" Lily scrambled to get to the car before they carted Hiro away.

Eventually, Hiro found himself not in jail, thankfully, but admittedly in a much scarier place. "What is a fourteen year old doing bot fighting?! Are you insane?!" Lily fumed, standing in front of the boy in her living room. "I mean, bot fighting is okay but betting on it?" Hiro squirmed. He'd only ever talked to Lily a few times after crashing into her that morning, sometimes to serve her order or to just pick on her sometimes whenever he sees her reading a robotics textbook, never really a proper conversation. "Look at me, Hiro." Lily lifted a brow, waiting the youth to acknowledge her rant.

"Look, I'm sorry okay?" He pulled the best puppy dog face he could muster, "Just... don't tell my brother? Please?"

Looking at the boy straight in the eye, Lily softened after a while and sighed. "Just promise me that you'll look after yourself." She sat beside him, patting him in the head. Looking as innocently at her as possible Hiro replied, "Absolutely."

'He is so going bot fighting again.', Lily thought with a sigh.

"Filed all the papers and incident dismissed. For now." Lily's father came back in giving the boy a pointed look, honestly intimidating Hiro. "Thanks, Dad." Lily smiled hearing her father grunt and make his way into the kitchen. "Sooo... you're not going to tell my brother." Hiro drawled after a few seconds of silence, "Just to make everything clear." Hiro pretty much figured out that Tadashi liked her, remembering those nights he could hear his goofball of a brother chuckling to himself alone, looking at his phone. How he knew who exactly he was texting was a whole different story.

"No.", Lily replied, "But I am calling him to pick you up and take you home so you can't run off to another bot fight tonight."

"Aww, man!" Hiro wailed, flopping down on the couch hearing Lily chuckle and give him another pat on the head as she dialed Tadashi.

The house was pretty old, Hiro noticed. A few pictures here and there, most of Lily and her dad. Was he divorced, maybe? Hiro shrugged, helping himself to the plate of cookies and juice Lily set down for him as she talked to his brother.

"Yeah, he's fine. Eating a plate of cookies and drinking juice, happy and healthy." Lily smiled, seeing Hiro scarf down the pastries her dad made earlier today, "What was he doing in this side of town? Well..."

Hiro perked up, crumbs around the corner of his mouth. As Hiro pressed his palms together and mouthed a "please", Lily smiled, "He just wanted to walk around, get some exercise. Bumped into him at the nearby park and decided to treat him, sorry for keeping him." she smoothly said, almost laughing at Hiro's goofy grin and mouthing him a "you owe me" with a playful wink.

"He'll be here when you get here. See you, Tadashi."

True enough, after a few short minutes, Andrew Huang opened the door to find a certain Tadashi Hamada just about to ring their door bell. "Tadashi Hamada?" He called, stepping outside, in the deepest, most intimidating voice he could muster.

"Y-yeah." Tadashi said frazzled, feeling the hair at the back of his neck stand. "G-good evening, sir! You must be L-Lily's dad." Coughing loudly to calm his nerves, he counted his steps towards, hopefully avoidable, annihilation. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, sir."

"Hm, likewise." Andrew Huang replied unconvincingly, secretly enjoying seeing the young man excessively perspire in front of him. "U-um, I heard my brother's in there? Thank you for taking care of him.", Tadashi cringed at his stuttering, coughing again to get himself under control.

He looked like a good kid, Andrew thought. Two helmets at the ready by the moped, vehicle clear of any dents or any signs of reckless driving, a clean hair cut, hmm. The man stood staring at Tadashi, silently assessing him and hoping to find any hideous flaws, making the object of his criticism totally uncomfortable.

"Tadashi?" A voice said from one of the second floor windows. 'My angel.' Tadashi smiled, "Lily!"

"Hold on, we'll be right down.", she said smiling down at him, "Stay put and don't eat him, Dad!"

"I'll try." The man grumbled, making Tadashi gulp.

After a few more agonizing minutes for Tadashi, Hiro burst out the door, closely followed by a giggling Lily. "Thanks, Lily! The snacks were killer!" Hiro grinned, walking backwards towards his brother. "Oh you don't need to thank me for that." Lily smirked, gesturing to her father. Tadashi not quite getting his brother's stupor and Lily's stiffling laughter, he just had to conclude that whatever Hiro was going to say after this point won't be good for either of them.

"No fucking w-"

"OKAY!" Tadashi semi-yelled, pushing his brother towards where he parked his moped and clumsily shoving his spare helmet on him, "Thanks a bunch for taking care of my brother for me, Lily, sorry if he caused any trouble for you."

"Not at all, he was just a doll." Lily chuckled seeing Hiro playfully stick his tongue out at her. "I'll see you at the lab tomorrow, Tadashi."

"... yeah," Tadashi smiled, sharing a look with Lily but immediately catching himself, "I m-mean, Yeah! Yeah, i-it was nice to meet you, Mr. Huang!"

Tadashi gulped again, hearing the man's non-committal grunt making him hurriedly try to turn on the engine faster. Hiro snickered. "You are so dead, knucklehead.", Tadashi grumbled, finally managing to turn the blasted engine on.

Seeing the pair drive away whilst arguing, Lily had to laugh a bit as she closed the door after her dad. "Don't stay out too late this weekend, princess." She heard her dad grunt before walking back to the kitchen.

"What was that, Dad?" Lily followed after him, barely hearing what he just said.

"Make sure you wear that dingy spare helmet right, you hear?"
