This chapter is dedicated to Guest (investigation of whether Tsuna is related to Giotto or not) and Dman4869 (who both wanted Elena and Chrome to have a girl's night as well as another prompt that is a surprise). I hope you two like this chapter!
Guest: Thank you, I'm glad you thought it was funny!
I don't own KHR.
"Alright, here we are!" Elena exclaimed as she opened the glass door, which caused a friendly bell to chime. As the two of them walked into the establishment, Chrome looked around in both nervousness and awe. It was a nail salon, filled with ladies sitting on comfortable chairs as they chatted happily with their neighbors while employees decorated their fingernails with great care. She even saw a few of the ladies get their toenails painted.
Chrome had never been in a place like this, and honestly, she never had a strong desire to. But when Elena came to her a few days ago asking if she wanted to have a girl's night with her, Chrome had agreed without hesitation. Elena then beamed like the sun and said to leave everything to her. Chrome, trusting her and knowing that Elena loved her surprises, didn't ask what she had planned for them.
Apparently, the second thing they were doing this evening (they ate a delicious dinner at a local soup-and-salad place) was to have their fingernails painted. Chrome had never had her fingernails painted before, and admittedly a small part of her was a bit afraid that she wasn't going to like it that much. It wasn't that she couldn't see herself liking it, she did like Elena's nails whenever she got them done. But Chrome wasn't sure if she wanted to be treated almost like royalty by a complete stranger. It did take her a little while for her to get used to all the servants back home when she and her siblings first arrived at the Vongola mansion.
But as Chrome glanced up at Elena, and noticed how happy she looked, Chrome decided that she had to try her best to like it. She was not going to make her real mother cry or frown today.
"Hello, do you have an appointment?" asked a lady with a name-tag that read Amalia as she walked up to them with a small smile.
"Yes, it should be under the name Elena Spade," Elena answered with a confident grin as she swung her and Chrome's joined hands a little bit.
"Ah, yes, if you would just follow me," Amalia requested after briefly looking at the clipboard she was carrying with one arm. Then she turned around and started walking down the salon, prompting Elena and Chrome to follow her. Amalia led them down the store until there were two empty red, very soft-looking chairs right next to each other.
"Here you two are, if you could please be seated, the ladies that will be attending to you will be along shortly. Until then, please feel free to look at our brochure which has a wide variety of options if you don't planned to have a custom design."
"Thank you," Elena said gratefully as she and Chrome climbed into their respective chairs. Amalia nodded before she quickly walked back towards the front of the salon to help with the next group of customers that had just entered.
"Alright Chrome, as I've learned from previous experiences, we should have a few minutes at most before our manicurists arrive but if you need more time to choose, don't be afraid to ask for it. You didn't have time to prepare beforehand after all."
"Okay," Chrome replied as she picked up the brochure lying on the small table on left and started perusing through it. Her single eye widened as she realized that Amalia's statement of 'wide variety of options was not an exaggeration. If anything, it was almost an understatement. Chrome had never seen so many shades of colors in her life, and there were so many designs that she was having trouble processing most of them.
"Hello ladies!" Chrome, who had just turned the page, looked up to see two identical middle-aged women with dark hair and wide smiles standing in front of them. The one with pink-and-yellow striped fingernails then pointed to her name-tag. "My name is Lucia."
"And I am Aida, we are your manicurists this evening!" Her twin with red-and-blue fingernails continued like they had done this a million times before. "Have you two decided on a design yet?"
"Yes, I would like to have all my nails done in indigo but on my ring fingers I would also like to have this butterfly design in soft yellow," Elena requested as she showed the inside of the brochure to them with a finger on a picture of two small butterflies flying close together.
"Perfect!" Lucia exclaimed good-naturedly. Then she turned to Chrome, her smile staying the same size though there was now a sweeter edge to it. "Do you know what you want sweetie?"
"Uh..." Chrome stammered as she looked back at the brochure. She knew that Elena had told her it was okay to have more time, but she thought she would have at least have a few options of what she wanted. Instead, she still had no idea whatsoever. Chrome didn't even know what colors she wanted!
"Is this your first time here honey?" Aida asked her just when Chrome saw Elena open her mouth out of the corner of her eye. She glanced back up and saw only kindness and patience in her dark eyes.
"Yeah...um...is it okay if I have more time?" Chrome asked tentatively, hoping that Aida or Lucia wouldn't get agitated.
"Of course, that brochure is pretty overwhelming isn't it?" Aida instantly granted with a smile that was warmer than before.
"Y-Yeah!" Chrome agreed, relieved that Aida didn't seem to be agitated at all. Even though she didn't say anything, Lucia looked just as understanding as her sister.
"Well don't worry, don't rush yourself, we want you to have a relaxing and delightful experience, not a stressful one. We want you to be pleased with your nails after all," Aida continued.
"It will probably take us a few minutes to set up anyway," Lucia added as she closed the distance between her and Elena and started taking out supplies from the pocket on her black apron.
"Exactly, but even then I'm still willing to wait," Aida assured her as she crossed between her and Chrome and began to start setting up as well. "A few minutes of waiting is nothing compared to helping a lady who just yelled at me the whole time because apparently, I wasn't doing her nails exactly like her regular manicurist."
"Oh, was she wearing a garish flower-printed outfit? Because if so, I was there for that," Elena said with a grimace.
"Oh my gosh, yes, and the nail design she picked was awful too!" Aida exclaimed. As Elena and the two manicurists then ranted and gossiped about that awful customer, Chrome looked back down at the brochure. Not feeling quite as overwhelmed as before, Chrome smiled as she studied her options.
Then she flipped the page and immediately fell in love with the first design that caught her eye. Excited and already having a rough idea of what colors she wanted, Chrome went back towards the front of the brochure and smiled when she saw what she was looking for.
"I know what I want!" Chrome quickly exclaimed, so excited that she forgot to wait for a lull in Elena's and the manicurists' conservation.
"Really? Fantastic!" Aida cried, not seeming peeved at all for the interruption (Elena and Lucia didn't seem peeved either). "What is it you want?"
"I like to have my nails painted in this violet. And..." Chrome showed her as she pointed to said color. Then she quickly flipped the pages until she saw the cute black cat design again. Smiling even wider now, Chrome showed the design to Aida. "Can I have this on my ring fingers too?"
"Oh of course sweetie! Now will that be in the original black or some other color?" Aida asked.
"Black please."
"Your wish is my command!" Aida granted as she picked up a nail file. "Though I must say, it is a very smart choice."
"Of course it is, she is my very smart girl, aren't you Chrome?" Elena asked her with a proud and beaming smile, even though by her tone it was clear she was only expecting one answer. Filled with pure love, Chrome's only choice was to beam back and make a noise full of glee.
It looked like she had been nervous for nothing.
Though she couldn't help but briefly wonder how her brothers were doing right now. Since Elena and Chrome had dinner early because the only open slot the nail salon had was at 5:30, Chrome figured that they were possibly enjoying dinner right now.

Mukuro studied Ryohei's face and it took him less than a second to find the answer he needed. But deciding to play it cool, he took a bite out of his pizza with one hand. After chewing slowly and deliberating, definitely annoying Hayato and Kyoya a bit, Mukuro put his slice down. He then wiped his fingers clean on a napkin before finally making his move.
"I call your bluff and raise you fifty!" Mukuro challenged as he picked up an orange poker chip and threw it at the center of the table.
"Uh...but I'm not bluffing," Ryohei replied while his eyes quickly darted to the side as he reluctantly put in one grey chip and three blue chips.
"Fifty?!" Hayato exclaimed as he nervously studied at the cards in his hand for possibly the fifty-ninth time this round.
"Yep, I fold," Takeshi declared with a loud, carefree laugh as he dropped his cards onto the table.
"Uh..." Tsuna pondered out loud as he nervously looked between his cards, Mukuro, Ryohei, and his sort of lackluster pile of chips (his intuition may be good, but his poker face wasn't. Pun intended). Then as Mukuro hoped, Tsuna sighed as he gently placed his cards on the table before lying his forehead beside them. "I'm folding too."
"Hmm..." Reborn mused as he bent over Tsuna and picked up the deserted hand before looking at it thoughtfully. "Yeah, good call."
"Yay, I'm finally doing something right in this game," Tsuna mumbled as he picked his head up and started to finish his neglected slice of pizza.
"Don't worry Tsuna, this is your first time," Daemon comforted him as Kyoya (it was his turn now) stared speculatively at Mukuro. "Not to mention, sometimes you just get bad luck."
"I raise you another fifty," Kyoya challenged as he threw in one of his orange poker chips.
"Oh come on!" Hayato exclaimed as he angrily threw his cards down at the table, revealing that he had two tens.
"Hey, at least you actually had a two pair," Takeshi told him as he peered at Hayato's cards before he revealed his own hand. "I just had these."
Hayato looked at Takeshi's cards, a Two of Hearts and a Three of Clubs, before looking at the four cards lying face-up on the center of the table. They were an Ace of Spades, an Ace of Diamonds, a Seven of Diamonds, and an Eight of Diamonds.
"How were you planning on winning?" Hayato asked in disbelief.
"By bluffing," Takeshi said simply as he fingered his small pile of chips.
"Silly Take," Lambo chimed in cheerfully from down on the ground nearby, having been done with his dinner a while ago and now gleefully playing with two rolls of poker chips. He was currently making towers before knocking them down while letting out a cute evil laugh. Mukuro was so proud of him.
"I know right? I am so silly!" Takeshi admitted happily as he looked down at Lambo, causing their baby brother to giggle.
"The next card is a Nine of Diamonds," Kyoya declared, bringing them back to the game as he placed the card he just got from the draw pile and laid it down next to the others. As the hope in Ryohei's eyes died, Mukuro looked at his own hand, which was a pair of Aces. While it would have been nice if he had ended up with a five pair of Aces, Mukuro was still confident with his four pair.
Especially when for a brief second Kyoya looked like he wanted to bite the cards to death.
"I...I'm extremely going all in!" Ryohei exclaimed with the face and tone of a lone soldier about to fight a whole enemy battalion. Mukuro had been expecting this, had been wanting this result in fact. Ryohei, thanks to his motto of being extreme, had been playing to the end of every round so far, despite only having one winning hand so far (and he didn't get many chips that round either). It was honestly kind of amazing that he hadn't had to completely drop out yet.
Well, it was time for Mukuro to put Ryohei out of his misery. And get the prideful Kyoya to dish out more chips while he was at it.
"Let's see...thirty? Yes, I believe I can do that," Mukuro said calmly though he couldn't help a little smirk as he threw in a red chip and a green chip. "But don't worry, I'll be nice and won't raise you."
"Extremely thank you," Ryohei said dryly.
"I'll also see you thirty," Kyoya added as he threw in a blue chip and two red ones. Mukuro was actually a bit surprised at that, he thought for sure he would have to goad him to chip in.
Was his smirk alone to bait him into losing even more of his chips?
"Alright, the round's over!" Takeshi exclaimed as he quickly swallowed a piece of crust. "Who got what?"
"Four Aces!" Mukuro exclaimed as he threw his cards, face up, unto the table proudly. He finally let himself smirk in full force as he looked at Ryohei and Kyoya. One look at their expressions was enough to tell him that he really had just won.
"That's my boy!" Daemon declared proudly as he got up from his chair (he had been sitting behind him) and reached his arm towards him. Mukuro gave him a high five without hesitation.
"So that's where the other Ace was," Kyoya muttered as he also threw his cards at the table, showing everyone that he had a pair of Kings. "I needed that for a Full House."
"Ah, you were only one card off," Hayato murmured as he looked at the five cards sitting at the center of the table.
"Sorry," Mukuro apologized with a shrug, even though he didn't feel sorry at all. And by the way Kyoya was glaring at him, he knew it.
"Well, I'm extremely out for good," Ryohei accepted somewhat sadly as he revealed to them that he had a Six of Diamonds and a Ten of Diamonds. "I was nowhere extremely close to winning."
"...What?" Ryohei eventually asked after several seconds of everyone just staring at both Ryohei's cards and the cards laid out in the middle of the table.
"Ryohei, where's your instruction card?" Tsuna asked as he held his own instruction card that Daemon gave out to them earlier.
"I extremely don't know, probably fell off the table or something. Why?"
"Because you have five consecutive cards, all in the same suit. That's a straight flush," Hayato explained flatly. "And that trumps a four pair of Aces."
"It does?" Ryohei asked, sounding a bit dazed yet hopeful as he glanced at Mukuro. And apparently Mukuro looked just as flabbergasted as he felt because Ryohei cheered in joy. "Hooray, I'm still alive to the extreme!"
"Haha, good for you Ryohei!" Takeshi congratulated as Ryohei gathered in all the chips from the center.
"Yay Ryo!" Lambo cheered happily even though he couldn't see what was going on.
"Better you than Mukuro," Kyoya added as Hayato nodded in agreement while Mukuro decided to put all of his attention into eating the rest of his pizza.
"I was so close...how could I be so close yet so far?!" Mukuro ranted as he continued to devour his food.
"As I said before, sometimes you just get bad luck," Daemon said consolingly as he patted Mukuro's shoulder.
"Which is why you shouldn't celebrate until you have seen everyone's cards," Reborn informed in a way that suggested that he was teaching this to everyone. Then he took a card out of his pocket and handed it to Ryohei. "By the way, somehow your instruction card got into my pocket."
"Oh, thank you to the extreme Reborn!" Ryohei exclaimed as he graciously took his card back.
"I'm...just going to ignore that," Daemon said flatly before he grabbed Mukuro's cards. "Alright, give me your cards kids, I'm gonna shuffle this rou-"
Then suddenly, Knuckle burst into the room.
"Guys, prepare yourselves, it's a code...who's teaching the kids poker?!" Knuckle cried before his eyes narrowed accusingly at Reborn. Reborn just whistled like an innocent school boy as he pointed at Daemon.
"Daemon!"
"What?!" Daemon exclaimed incredulously. "I thought that since Elena and Chrome are having a girl's night, then the boys could have a guy's night! And besides, it's not like they're actually betting any money!"
Mukuro nodded in agreement though he thought that Chrome would have had fun playing poker. Maybe another time.
"It's true, we're just having fun!" Tsuna assured Knuckle cheerfully. "We're giving all the chips back to Daemon when we're done."
"Well, that's...actually nevermind, we have a bigger problem," Knuckle replied with a shake of his head before he gave both Reborn and Daemon a serious look. "We have a Code Black."
Though this meant nothing to Mukuro, the effect on both of the adults was instantaneous.
"Oh come on! They just visited us ten months ago! Why are they coming again so soon?!" Daemon exclaimed in both disbelief and frustration.
"The kids probably," Knuckle answered with as he tilted his head to Mukuro and his brothers.
"Ugh, the cousin I can deal with, his brat though..." Reborn muttered as he pinched the area between his eyes. Mukuro furrowed his eyes in concentration, feeling that he should know what they were talking about but for the life of him, he couldn't figure it out. Then Reborn sighed. "How much time do we have? Maybe if I take some Ibuprofen, I can control myself."
Knuckle sighed as he peered back into the hall.
"None."
"Really, you want me to watch my mouth around them? Are you really trying to ruin Vongola by taking in and raising a bunch of sensitive street rats?" Mukuro heard a rough, deep voice say out in the hall. Kyoya lightly growled at that as Mukuro wiped his hands calmly, despite the ire he felt inside.
Who was this guy and what gave him the right to say something like that?
"Alright, first, orphans or not, they're good kids!" Mukuro heard Giotto defend them, sounding calm yet liable to snap at any minute. "Second, they don't have to work with Vongola if they don't want to!"
"So you are actually fine with Xanxus inheriting Vongola?" the unfamiliar voice spoke again, causing someone that suspiciously sounded like G to let out an agitated groan. Mukuro's eyes widened though as he finally figured what Code Black meant.
"Wait, Xanxus?" Tsuna asked softly as he turned to Daemon. "Isn't that-"
Before Tsuna could finish his sentence, Giotto, Alaude, and G entered the room with two strangers. Giotto, Alaude, and G all looked agitated, and Mukuro couldn't exactly blame them as he studied the two strangers. Or rather, Giotto's cousin Ricardo and Ricardo's son Xanxus.
From what Mukuro had gathered from the few times Daemon and the other adults had been willing to talk about him, Ricardo was prideful, powerful, ruthless, yet unfortunately efficient. Mukuro could definitely see all of those traits in Ricardo's cold green eyes, his dark, spiky hair pulled back into a very neat and slim ponytail. His suit looked like it just got out of the dry cleaners and Mukuro noticed that his sideburns were in a v-shape (Mukuro actually liked Reborn's special sideburns better).
Xanxus, the clearly younger male standing beside Ricardo, had cold red eyes instead but his hair was just spiky and dark like his father's. However, unlike Ricardo, Xanxus had a dark jacket hanging over his shoulders (Mukuro could see that Kyoya was not happy that they had a similar taste in style) while a raccoon tail and feathers adorned his hair. Mukuro felt like Xanxus was one of those people in their late teens or early twenties that tried hard to be cool but in reality, they were failing miserably.
Apparently, Xanxus' first impression of them wasn't great either because he belted out in laughter.
"Wow, you old scum weren't kidding when you said that they really resembled you! They even got the incredibly weak look down pat!"
Not even five seconds had passed and Mukuro already never wanted to see this punk again.

"Um, Elena?" Chrome asked as they waited in line. They were now in the movie theater and since they still had some time before their movie started (it was about Snow-White-Fire-Red, one of Chrome's favorite Italian fairy tales) so they decided to get some popcorn. Chrome had readily accepted when Elena asked if she wanted some, but now she realized they might have a problem.
"Yes honey?" Elena as she looked down at Chrome with a warm and caring smile, her hand wrapped comfortably around Chrome's. Chrome looked at their joined hands, not because she was nervous, but because she wasn't entirely sure how to phrase her question.
"Will our fingernails be okay?" she ended up asking as she looked back up at Elena. It had been a little while since they left the nail salon but popcorn could be really buttery. What if they were supposed to wait a little longer before they ate popcorn or any food for that matter?
A part of Chrome told her that Elena knew what she was doing but Chrome couldn't help but worry a bit. The two cats on each of her ring fingers were really cute...
"Oh don't worry, I came prepared," Elena assured her with a wink as she reached into her purse with her other hand and brought out a slim carton of plastic gloves. "They might have been fine anyway, but it doesn't hurt to be safe, right?"
"Right!" Chrome agreed happily, feeling relieved that Elena really did have them covered. She was so smart.
Chrome then looked to the front of the line and wondered if her brothers were having as much fun as she was.

"You know, it's sad really," Xanxus suddenly commented as he leaned against the wall.
"What is?" Hayato said curtly as he gripped his cards so tightly that he was threatening to crease them. Not that Mukuro would blame him if he did. Shortly after Xanxus and Ricardo arrived, Daemon, Giotto, and the others left with Ricardo to have some kind of meeting. Xanxus was supposed to leave too but he volunteered to look after 'the little scum' instead. Giotto had been against it for obvious reasons but then Ricardo accused him of not trusting his son and of babying Mukuro and his siblings to the point that they wouldn't make it to see the coming year.
Kyoya then stood up with stormy grey eyes but any hopes of him biting Ricardo to death were dashed when he assured Giotto that they would be fine, that they could be left alone with Xanxus. Giotto then reluctantly agreed and after Alaude told them (mainly directed at Xanxus) to not cause any trouble, they left.
And now they were forced to deal with Xanxus' condescending gaze as they tried to continue their round of poker. Mukuro understood why Kyoya held back from biting Ricardo to death, because not only was Ricardo technically family, but being diplomatic was a thing. But at the same time, Xanxus really needed to get that prideful smirk wiped off his face.
Painfully.
"That you looked so much like Primo and the others but aren't actually related to them," Xanxus answered.
"Actually, I'm cousins with Asari and Tsuna is fourth cousins with Giotto," Takeshi pointed out, his usual friendly smile now having a sharp edge to it. As Hayato nodded in agreement, Mukuro recalled the day that Daemon, Giotto, and the others had them all take a DNA test just out of curiosity's sake. The results came back more or less what they expected. Tthey weren't that closely related to each other, the closest being Takeshi and Asari. It had been a bit of a surprise when they learned that Giotto and Tsuna were fourth cousins though. Mukuro, Hayato, and Lambo were all various stages of sixth or seventh cousins with Daemon, G, and Lampo and they were all from the same country (granted Tsuna did have that Italian grandfather but still).
"Because being a second cousin once removed and a fourth cousin are so close," Xanxus sneered before he lightly kicked himself off the wall. Then he had the gall to point a finger at Tsuna. "What I'm trying to explain is that if he was actually Primo's kid, then he would actually deserve respect. Because even though he would be illegitimate, he would have still have Vongola's blood in his veins, something that most of the scum in this world could only dream to have. It's that powerful. And the rest of you would have probably gain some respect too just by being his guardians. But instead..."
Xanxus walked silently and steadily forward till he was only a few steps away from Tsuna.
"He is just a pathetic doppelganger who will die the same way as he was born. A no-good scum." Mukuro stood up, pushing his chair back as he reached his hand out to summon his trident. He didn't care about being cordial anymore, Xanxus had crossed the line, he had to pay.
And considering how Kyoya actually growled as he stood up while Ryohei, Hayato, and Takeshi glared at Xanxus, Mukuro knew he wasn't the only one who felt that way.
Then suddenly, Tsuna threw in a red chip.
"I bet five," Tsuna said calmly, his face completely neutral like he hadn't just been insulted. Actually, now that Mukuro thought about it, Tsuna hadn't said a single word since Ricardo and Xanxus first arrived.
Well...Mukuro supposed there could be some delight in treating Xanxus like he wasn't even there.
He still ended up sighing though as he sat back down and picked up his cards, hoping that Ricardo would come back so both he and Xanxus could leave already.
At least Chrome wasn't here.
"I also bet five," Kyoya grounded out as he reached down to throw in a red chip to the pot before he sat back down, obviously refusing to even glance at Xanxus. Xanxus himself looked at all of them before he scoffed.
"Whatever, you'll see that I'm right when I'm made the next leader of Vongola, not that scum," Xanxus said as he turned around and started to go back to his place on the wall. Mukuro gritted his teeth. He didn't particularly care if Tsuna ended up inheriting Vongola or not (that was Tsuna's decision), but he really, really hoped Xanxus wouldn't be the next leader. Or Ricardo for that matter.
Then Lambo, who had been watching this whole exchange with a chip in his mouth, threw that very same chip.
And it landed right on one of Xanxus' very shiny black shoes.
"Ha! Lam got you!" Lambo exclaimed, obviously looking very proud that he hit the man who had made his big brothers unhappy.
"Did you just..." Xanxus snarled, his face growing a deep shade of red as he glared right at Lambo, causing the toddler to whimper. Xanxus then took a menacing step towards Lambo as he started to take out a gun.
But the gun didn't even fully leave its holster before Tsuna suddenly stood up, his face not neutral anymore as an orange flame danced on his forehead.
"That's it!" Tsuna yelled as he quickly flew towards Xanxus and punched the young man right in the face.
"Wh-" was all Xanxus could say before Mukuro and the others jumped him.

"So, how was your first girl's night?" Elena asked Chrome as they drove into the driveway.
"It was so fun!" Chrome exclaimed with pure happiness before she took the last bite of her ice-cream cone. "I can't wait to tell the others about it!"
"C'mon guys, you can do it! Just kick him in the ba...private parts!"
"Was that G?" Chrome asked as she looked at Elena. Then suddenly, the car stopped and when Chrome looked ahead, she could see why their chauffeur did that. Her eye grew wide as she saw her brothers fight a young man wielding two guns in the front yard. And if that wasn't enough, Daemon, the other Vongola adults, and Reborn were near the front of the house, cheering her brothers on.
Though, now that Chrome looked closely, Giotto was sitting on a man that looked similar to the man her brothers were fighting, all the while wearing a very smug grin.
"Elena, what-" Chrome started to ask, not sure if she should be alarmed or just confused.
"Ugh, of course Xanxus and his horrible father would come by tonight," Elena groaned as she got out of the car. Chrome, recognizing Xanxus' name, also got out of the car and looked at how furiously her brothers were fighting. All of them.
She had heard that Xanxus was a jerk, but what did he do to get everyone, even Takeshi and Tsuna, this riled up?
"What's the matter Ricardo? Upset that our 'weak' kids are beating your kid's butt?" Giotto suggested, his smug grin growing even wider when Ricardo just growled.
"Oh hey Chrome! How was girl's night?! Was it extreme?" Ryohei called out as soon as he saw her, though he did have to immediately duck in order to avoid getting shot by flames.
"Ah...yeah, but what-"
"Oh good, Chrome, you're back!" Mukuro cried as he turned to face her, the tips of his trident coated with indigo flames. "Quick, get in here! This punk tried to shoot Lambo!"
"He did what?" Chrome replied, her usually soft voice now low and cold as it could be while a feeling she rarely felt burned within her soul.
"Honey?" Chrome turned her head and saw Elena looking at the scene, her face now stone-cold.
"Yes?"
"Remember to take off the plastic gloves before you let him have it, they will just get in the way. If your nails get chipped, then we will just get them repainted with Xanxus' money." Pleased that Elena wasn't planning on stopping her, Chrome just grinned as she quickly took off her messy plastic gloves. She then tossed them to Elena, who caught them without even looking.
Then with both wanting to help her brothers and to teach Xanxus a lesson, she jumped right into the fight.
They actually do end up winning the fight, making Xanxus have some degree of respect for them (and through him, Ricardo). Their relationship does get gradually better and more cordial after this. Also, I had the hardest time of finding an Italian movie that was both a girl's night movie, but also appropriate for both kids and adults. So an unnamed movie about an actual Italian fairy tale it was! Just wanted to put that out there.
So what did you guys think? Please leave a review on your way out and I will update shortly. Until then, belated Happy Easter and have a great and safe day/night! See ya!
