Justin woke up the next morning, bright and early, for once. It was the big day! The most anticipated day and the main reason he came to Inna De Poona: THANKSGIVING!

"Aiko? You awake?" he called to her. But, she was still asleep in bed.

"Eh, whatever. I'll come back later and hopefully, she'll be awake. Gotta go see Brooke and Polly. They should be in the large dining room downstairs."

He walked down to the big dining room that he reserved for the dinner. He saw Brooke, who was preparing the table.

"Hi, Brooke." he greeted.

"Well, hello there! I take it that you're ready for this feast?" she asked.

"Yeah. I sure am. Do you need help with anything?"

"Yes, that would be marvelous. You can just set the table. You are the one who invited most of the guests, after all."

She was right about that. So, he set the table. He knew that Nora left a couple of days before so she wouldn't be included. Abia wasn't going to join them, due to her religion and the fact that he never invited her. Yeah, good work, Justin. Have extreme sex with a girl but don't invite her to spend a holiday with you.

Of course, there was the mystery of Lola. She said she may or may not be around for Thanksgiving but he set a place for her, just in case.

"Man, this is gonna be a huge dinner. Of course, with only two males and more than ten females." he stated.

He then decided to go to the kitchen and check on Polly.

"Hey, Polly."

"Oh hello, JD. Surprised to see you up this early." she said.

"Yeah. Gotta get up early for Thanksgiving, you know? I just came to see how you were doing in here."

"Doing great. Working on so much food at the same time."

"You wouldn't so happen to be making green bean casserole, would you?" he asked.

"Of course I am. It's not really Thanksgiving without that. I'm also making ham, turkey, potato salad, deviled eggs, sweet potato souffle, and cranberry sauce."

This all sounded delicious. Of course, he was responsible for the dessert. He bought pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and creampuffs.

He let Polly get back to work. She just started but it was already smelling so good. He then kept and eye out for his guests. Of course, Tiffany was the first one to be in the dining room.

"Tiffany! I knew you'd be first."

"Yeah, you know it. I always wake up early. Thank you for inviting me to this dinner, and Inna De Poona in general."

"You're welcome, Tiffany. Have you seen your mother?"

"Yeah, Mom's on her way. She takes a long time to get prepared for special dinners like this."

She came in and sat down. It was still relatively early so he didn't expect too many more people to show up. Of course, he was wrong about that.

"Hi, Justin!" the Polynesian girl said.

"Konichiwa, Justin!" the other girl said. Yeah, he felt some cringe coming from Suki's mouth.

"Y-Yeah. Hi, Lailani and ciao, Suki."

"What does chow mean? Like chow-mein?" she asked.

"No, it's hello and goodbye in Italian."

"Oh. I never learned to speak Italian. All I know is meatball."

Dang it, Suki. That's racist. But, he ignored it and let them come in. They sat down. Suki decided to bring her phone out and watch anime. Why did that not surprise anyone?

"Well, three people are here. I wonder when Ashley's coming?"

He waited a few more minutes. He was eager to find out who would show up next.

"What's up, Bro?" his blonde friend said.

"Oh Connor! Good to see you."

He came in and sat down. He then realized that he forgot to invite CANDEH. He texted her, hoping she'd be available.

"Hey, Candace. I forgot to tell you but you were invited to my Thanksgiving feast today. Do you have any plans?"

She immediately texted back. Of course, with a bunch of spelling errors. I mean, this is Candace we're talking about.

"Sorry, justin. But Im spending Thanksgivin with Ms. Polly. shje invited me to a fancy hotell to have a big feast with her and some freinds. hope ya understand :)"

Funny, because that's exactly what he's doing too. Wait a minute...

"lol okay, Candeh. Hope you have a good time. Say hello to Polly for me."

He knew what was going down. She'd be seeing him very soon.

The next guest came in. It was Ashley and Lillian.

"Hey, Sweet Cheeks! I'm here. Where's the turkey?"

"Polly's preparing everything in the kitchen right now, Ashley. Just sit down and play on your phone until it's all done."

"Um like, how long is this gonna take? I'm fucking starving." Lillian said.

Oh crap. This again.

"Lillian, I swear to the sweet baby Jesus, if you pull any of that gothic brat crap on me in front of LITERALLY everyone, I'm gonna beat your ass."

"Woah, chill out, Man! You're going a bit overboard with punishing someone for being bratty, don't ya think?" Ashley admitted.

"Not really. It's one thing to embarrass someone in front of a few people. But, doing it in front of everyone is too far. Better yet, I won't lay a hand on Lilian. I'll tell Audrey to and she'll put a whooping on you!"

"Ha! Yeah, right. Me and her only fought because we were both hungry. And I kind of got turned on by it."

"Oh, and you're not hungry now?" he mentioned.

"Yeah, I am. So?"

"Yeah, that's what I thought. When Audrey shows up, she will put the beating on you. And if that doesn't work, I'll call my friend Catfish and he'll do it."

"You do not have a friend named Catfish." Ashley said, not believing him.

"Yes, I have a friend named Catfish and he's twice my size and eats a lot of red meats. He will put a whooping on Lillian."

"Pfft! Whatever, Man. I'm just gonna sit down and play on my phone. Need to check the socials."

They both sat down. More guests needed to show up. Still no sign of Aiko.

"Damn it, I'd better check on Aiko." he thought. He went to his room to see if she was awake.

"Aiko?" he said coming in.

"Oh, there you are. Where have you been?" she asked.

"I was in the dining room waiting on the guests. You were still asleep when I left. I see you're awake now."

"Oh, y-yeah. I was just getting ready."

He then noticed she was carrying her purse, which she usually never has.

"What's with the purse?" he asked.

"I just wanna start a better habit and bring it with me everywhere I go. I've lost some things before all because I didn't bring my purse."

He understood that. A bit weird but he brushed it off. They went to the dining room and of course, more guests showed up when he was gone.

"Hey, Hun." the blonde MILF said.

"Hi, Jessie. Great to see you." he said.

"I could say the same for you. Thanks to you, I'm having the first Thanksgiving in a long time with my daughter."

He smiled. It was definitely a big accomplishment for him.

"I'm just glad to be of service." he said.

She smiled. Aiko also greeted her. They began to talk. Looked like Aiko was going to sit between Tiffany and Jessie.

"Justin, dear." Brooke said in the other room.

"Yes, Brooke?"

"Do you have any idea where my niece is?" she asked.

"Audrey? Probably still asleep, like she usually is."

"Can you please go to her room and wake her up? Polly just informed me that the food is almost done."

He agreed. She gave him the master keycard. Almost felt like an honor. He could easily sneak into Ashley's room with this thing. But, he knew better. He went to Tiffany and Audrey's room and opened it. He saw Audrey, still fast asleep in bed.

"Damn it, Audrey. You are such a lazy bitch." he mumbled to himself.

He grabbed his phone and played a metal song on full blast. Yep, that woke her up.

"AGH! What the FUCK?" she screamed.

"Audrey, get up. It's Thanksgiving."

"So? Fuck Thanksgiving! I want to go back to sleep." she yelled.

"I understand that but the food is almost done and Brooke is waiting on you. Also, Lillian said you have tiny boobs and you should beat her up."

"Yeah, no shit. Fine! I'll get up. But don't expect me to be happy about it."

She got out of bed and they went to the dining room. He looked at the table. Almost all of the seats were full. Only three seats were still missing.

"Damn it. Where's Zoey?" he said.

He wondered where she was. He told Brooke to go ahead and start the big feast, even if Zoey or Candace weren't there.

"Alright, everyone. This big feast is about to begin. We just have some words from our host. Justin, you can speak."

"Thanks, Brooke. And thank you to everyone that came here today. You know, I've been dealing with some emotional issues for the passed few months. The thing that has gotten me through it was all you lovely ladies."

"And ME!" Connor screamed.

"Yeah, and Connor. I just want to give special thanks to my closest friends, and sex partners. I'd like to thank Tiffany for being a great support. You know, Tiffany? I love you so much. You've been there for me for a few years. Even when I was locked in that awful group home for nearly two years, me and you talked on the phone the most."

"You're welcome, Justin. And I still can't thank you enough for repairing me and Mom's relationship."

"And I can't tell you how much it was nothing. Anyone could've done it. I'd also like to thank Ms. Polly for cooking this great food for us today. Polly, I appreciate you and I'd consider you for marriage if I wanted commitment."

She smiled. "You're welcome, Sweetheart."

"Another thank you goes to my friend with benefits, Ashley. Me and you have had some crazy sex and I appreciate all of the pleasure you give me."

"You're welcome, Sweet Cheeks. You do the same for me and I probably appreciate you more."

"Yeah. I'd also like to thank Mrs. Brooke Belrose for allowing me to reserve this dining room for Thanksgiving. Even if I'm not into older women, I still appreciate this opportunity."

"It's no trouble, Honey."

"Right. But, this last thank you goes to my friend, Aiko. Aiko, you are a great friend and partner. I'm so glad we made amends and I'm also glad I could help you with some of your emotional issues. I appreciate you and love cuddling with you almost every night."

She grinned, though not with the most genuine expression.

"Thank you to everyone who showed up. It is a bit unfortunate that Zoey, Candace, and Lola couldn't make it."

"No, I'm here." a voice came from the entrance.

"Lola?" he said. This was a surprise.

"Yeah, I made it. Sorry I'm a bit late. The plane just landed less than an hour ago. I'm ready to get this thing started."

This was great. Despite not being too attached to Lola, he was glad her schedule was clear for this one day.

She sat down. Of course, there was still the matter of Zoey and Candace.

"So, do you know where Zoey is?" he asked Lola.

"I'm not sure. I messaged her a few hours ago, telling her I'm about to be on Inna De Poona. She never replied and the message was never read."

This was spooky. Where did she go?

"Well, since most of us are here, I guess we should do the prayer. Tiffany? Would you do the honors?"

She was happy about this. Being Catholic, this was very thoughtful. They all bowed their heads and prayed, even if Justin was against it.

They started to eat. Of course, look who showed up right after they dug in.

"Hi, everyone. Sorry I'm late. I got lost on the way here."

"CANDEH!" Justin screamed.

"Wait, what are ya doing here, Justin? I was supposed to see Ms. Polly today."

"I'm right here, Candace." she said.

"Oh, right! Hi, Polly. I didn't see ya there. Wait... Something ain't right. If he invited me to his dinner but I was gonna go see Polly instead... Wouldn't that mean? Uh..."

"Yeah, you're right, Candace. The same feast Polly invited you to was mine. So, you didn't lose anything." he explained.

"Oh alrighty! That makes sense to me. So, is there any food left?"

"There's plenty, Candace. Dig in!" he said. Though, he knew that she'd most likely throw it up later to stay thin.

This was a great Thanksgiving. Everyone made it, besides Zoey, who mysteriously vanished.

After the big feast was over, he got a message from Vinnie. He texted him a picture of Momo having dinner. To his surprise, he got her to eat turkey.

"Happy Thanksgiving, my friend. Momo's doing great and devouring the turkey. She's enjoying it."

He was happy. It was about time Momo liked meat instead of eating dessert all of the time.

He went to the room. Him and Aiko went to bed. She's been acting a bit strange but it was probably her anxiety. They went to bed and cuddled. The vacation was almost over. There was just some loose ends to tie up.
