Luna and Sam had become famous rock stars, going on tour after tour while selling millions of CDs. Now it's time for a break and that meant going back to Royal Woods to visit Luna's family. "Alright, guys! We're here! Logan's got bug duty." Sam said. "Nice way! I'm on garbage detail! I had bug duty in Minneapolis!" Logan said. "It rained in Minneapolis! There were no bugs!" Lyra said.
"Not my problem." Logan said. The siblings looked at the bus windshield, which was covered in dead bugs. "Well. Isn't this attractive?" Logan said, patting his sister on the back then going in the house.
"You can do this later. Come on. Let's go see your aunt and uncle." Sam said, leading her daughter inside. "Hey! There she is!" Lincoln said when he saw his niece. "Good to see you, Uncle Lincoln." Lyra said. "By the way, where did Chunk disappear to?" Logan said.
"He went to the airport. His niece is flying in from London today." Sam said. "I didn't know Chunk had a niece." Lyra said. "Ol' Chunky doesn't like talking about his personal life much. He'll bring her by later so she can meet everyone." Luna said.
Lynn arrived with her daughter, Hailey who immediately began to roughhouse with Toby and Spade until it was time for dinner. Ronnie Anne made some Lynn-sagna since it was Lincoln's dad's most famous dish then everyone started eating when Lyra heard very familiar words. "Pip-pip. Mind the gap!" That was the first thing Lynn had said to Rita when they met and now it was the first thing she heard from Chunk's niece. Luna gave her roadie a big hug then rejoined her family as the gentle giant lead his flesh and blood to the dining room. "This is me niece, Victoria." Chunk said. "'Ello!" Victoria said cheerfully.
Lyra released her fork, which landed on the floor. "Ba… Ba… Ba…" she said. "You dropped your fork, love. Bob's your uncle." Victoria said, picking the utensil up and trying to hand it back. "Ba… Ba… Ba…" Lyra said, still in a daze. Luna and Sam looked at each other knowingly as Logan, Toby and Spade tried to hold in snickers.
"I'll just leave it on the table then." Victoria said, putting the fork down. "Come on, Victoria. Let's get you settled in at the hotel." Chunk said. "Do all Yanks greet people this way, Uncle Chunk?" Victoria asked.
"Lyra has a girrrlfriend!" Toby said. "Tobias, don't tease your cousin." Ronnie Anne said. "Yeah. I don't even know her." Lyra said. "But, you'd like to get to know her." Spade said. "Yeeeeah!" Toby said.
"That's enough, boys. Finish your dinner." Lincoln said. After everyone got done eating, Lyra went upstairs with Hailey and Logan. "Did you see the way she looked at me?" Lyra asked. "She called us Yanks and you were too busy babbling to even talk to her." Logan said.
"I don't think she meant it in a derogatory way. And shut up." Lyra said. "I think it's funny that you're carrying the family tradition." Hailey said, throwing a baseball against the wall and catching it. "What do you mean?" Lyra asked.
"Think about it. Grandpa Lynn was a brunette and fell in love with Grandma Rita, who was a blonde. Your mom, Luna's a brunette and fell in love with your other mom. And now…" Hailey said. "I'm a brunette and I have a crush on Chunk's niece, who's a blonde. I got it." Lyra said.
The next day, Lyra gathered up the courage to go speak with Victoria. She got her room number from Chunk and knocked on the door. "Umm… Hi. We weren't probably introduced yesterday. I'm Luna and Sam's daughter, Lyra." Lyra said, offering a handshake. "Pleasure to meet you, Lyra." Victoria said, shaking Lyra's hand. The brunette stood there in a daze, staring at her hand after it was released.
"Do come in, won't you? I'm just watching The Beeb on the telly." Victoria said. Lyra entered the room and immediately noticed a Minion plushie on the bedside table. "You like Minions?" Lyra asked. "Are you daft? They're bloody ace!" Victoria asked.
"I love Minions! Do you think they have it on Pay Per View?" Lyra said. "We could take a gander." Victoria said. Lyra sat next to Victoria on the bed and the girls watched The Minions together before Lyra's phone started buzzing. Victoria nudged Lyra's arm and said, "Your mobile is vibrating."
Victoria had laid down on her stomach so Lyra had to stretch over her legs to reach her phone, which was sitting on the table. She had gotten a text that said:
Hey, girl! Heard you were back in The Woods. Come by if you're free!
"Who's that?" Victoria asked. "Alecia. Her parents are Mt moms' old band mates so we're pretty good friends." Lyra said. "She's Mazzy and Sully's daughter? I've heard about them from me uncle." Victoria said.
"I could take you to meet her if want. I have to warn you about Peter though. He practically worships Barney from How I Met Your Mother." Lyra said. The girls left the hotel and went to Sully and Mazzy's house. As expected, the garage was open to reveal a drum set with tons of other instruments surrounding it. "Hey, Lyra. Who's your friend?" Peter said. "Victoria Monk. You must be Peter." Victoria said.
"That's my name, don't wear it out. Monk, huh? Any relation to Chester Monk?" Peter said. "I'm his niece. Just flew in from London yesterday." Victoria said. "Not surprising. You look like my cup of tea." Peter said, winking.
"Cool down, big brother. The poor girl doesn't need to have traveled across the pond just to be hit on by a guy who idolizes Neal Patrick Harris." Alecia said. The three girls went to Alecia's room and sat down. "So, what brings you across the pond?" Alecia asked Victoria.
"Me dad was killed and me mum isn't a pleasant woman so I asked me Uncle Chunk to bring me here." Victoria said. "That's horrible! I'm so sorry!" Alecia said. "Don't worry about it. I'd rather be on the road anyway. I've looked up to me uncle ever since I was a little girl." Victoria said.
