"Come on, Aggie! I needed help here!" Junior yelled in panic as he dug up Aggie's closet.

"I can help you if you haven't making a mess in my room." Aggie said, slouching on her bed, and writing records on her clipboard.

"Come on, Ags. You're good at this." The stork begged. "Please, help me pick an outfit."

"It's a family reunion, Junior." The girl said. "It's not something special. Why do you have to look so good for your girlfriend's family reunion?"

"Tulip is not my girlfriend… yet."

"Junior, buddy, I know what you have to wear tomorrow… nothing! It's just a family reunion, and anyone can wear anything." Aggie shouted as she grabbed Junior by his neck feathers. "So go to that party, or I'll tell anyone you used to be a flightless scaredy baby!"

"Alright, alright, I'm going!" Junior said as Aggie cheered. "But only if you're coming with me."

Aggie stopped cheering, "Me? Why?"

"Because you're my assistant, and I need your guide."

"Fine, but sooner, you have to find love on your own, got it?"

"Don't worry, my young assistant, I will. Trust me."

The weekend is here, and Tulip and her family had their reunion at the park. The kids were playing tag, while the grownups, especially Tulip, set up a picnic table there.

"I hope Junior will come sooner." Jane hopped.

"Come on, Mom. You know, Junior." Tulip said. "He's a stork, and storks are fast flyers."

Just a little far from the picnic, Junior just landed with Aggie on his back.

Aggie jumped off of Junior, and said, "Alright, Junior, you're here to have fun. Don't make a fool of yourself, and you should tell Tulip to take you relationship to the next level without my help."

"I don't know, Aggie." Junior doubted nervously. ""Maybe I'll make a mistake, and Tulip's family will hate me."

"Nonesense, you lover-stork. Now go on, and I'll watch you."

With his assistant's advice, Junior took a deep breath, and, without exhaling, walked towards the family picnic as Aggie followed.

All of Tulip's relatives gather around to start the picnic party, until the children noticed Junior and Aggie coming their way.

"Look, it's Junior!" Carlo, one of Tulip's younger cousins, announced.

"And Aggie too." Julia added as the kids ran onto them.

Most of the children jumped onto Junior as he struggled, "Whoa, whoa, kids! One at the time!"

While just only a few children ran onto Aggie, and poked her, "Well, lucky I'm still the same size of a child."

"Hey, kids!" Jane called the children, "Stop playing around our guests! Lunch is almost ready!"

The kids ran towards the picnic table as Junior and Aggie finally breathe again.

When she saw them, Tulip placed the plate carefully on the table, then ran towards Junior and hugged. "You came!"

"Won't miss it for the world." Junior smirked with his feather finger up.

Then, Tulip bent down, and took Aggie's clipboard, "Aggie, dropped that. You need to give yourself a rest from work.

"Actually, Tulip, I need this for…" Before Aggie can explain, Junior covered her mouth to shush her up.

"She needed it for her next duty." Junior lied.

"Well, um… okay, then." Tulip smiled. "Come on, my family's waiting for you guys."

"When Tulip made it to her family, Junior removed his wing from Aggie's mouth. Aggie knew that Junior wanted her guidance as a secret as she spoke before she headed to the picnic table. "You own me."

Junior rolled his eyes and shrugged as he joined the family fun.

During their lunch, Tulip's extended Junior lots of question, which he's very nervous to answer. Thanks to Aggie and her guidance, the stork answered all of the questions, and the family began to like him. Aggie wasn't give any all excitement to herself as she was busy giving Junior some advice. After lunch, the family reunion games just began.

"Attention everyone." Jane announced the family games is about to begin!"

The kids were so excited as they excitingly ran to the open space of the park, followed by the grown-ups, leaving Junior, Tulip, and Aggie behind.

"Come on, Junior. You're part of the family, so let's go." Tulip took Junior's wing, and tried to drag him in.

But Junior slipped his wing from Tulip's wing, and hesitated. "I don't know, Tulip. I'm not part of the family yet. tI'll be embarrassed if I come along."

"Don't be silly. My family loves you. I already told you that a couple of times. You should join us."

"But—"

Before the stork finished his sentence, Aggie pushed him off of his seat, and said. "Junior, join the fun! I was born having different families, and you should too. By the way, where's your family anyway?"

Junior froze in silence. He never told anyone about his family nor anyone ask him about his family. He tried to forget about it, but, sometimes, things just coming back to him. Junior doesn't want to want to answer Aggie's question as he changed the topic, "You know what? I'll do it."

"You really do?" Tulip exclaimed.

"You do?" Aggie was confused.

"Well, yeah. It could be fun." Junior said.

"Great!" Tulip squealed.

"But I forgot to ask you… what's the game?"

"Hey Junior, wanna play baseball with us?!" Rusty called out.

"That's your answer." Tulip grinned sheepishly as she grabbed Junior's wing again, and dragged him to the game.

When Aggie was left alone, she wondered why Junior hasn't answered her question yet about his family, and was suspicious about them, "Hmm, I think my boss has something he never told us yet." She thought. "I'll find out for good."

The whole afternoon, Tulip's family, including Tulip, and Junior were spending time together playing baseball. Some times, Junior got hit by the ball on the face, and sometimes, he missed and swang. He also tried to catch the ball if in case the ball flew higher by flying to get it. Meanwhile, Aggie was only sit there, watching his bosses playing together, and waiting if they move their relationship to the next level.

After the game, they all packed their things, and decided to finish the reunion at tulip's house, which her family's home, with Junior and Aggie in tow. While following her stork boss, Aggie felt something in the presence in the force that someone is spying on them, but she tried to ignore it.

I know this is short, but it'll do, because the next chapter is about sad, hatred, and pain. No spoilers
