"You're going to love my family." Aria said as she led Luna towards her family. There were two adults and a boy near by. "Mom, Dad, Max, this is Luna Loud."
"Nice to meet you Luna." Mrs. Macintosh walked and shook her hand.
"Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Macintosh." Luna smiled politely at the older women.
"Where's your family Luna?" Mrs. Macintosh looked around confused.
"She's the one from Michigan Mom." Aria explained rather politely. Mrs. Macintosh laughed a little.
"Oh then why don't you join us for dinner." Mrs. Macintosh offered. "It won't be for awhile but we don't you eating alone."
"I would be honored to." Luna said with a smile.
"Yay!" Aria cheered before Aria and her family led Luna more through the occasion. "Come on the day is still young!"
"So is Massachusetts very different from Michigan?" Mrs. Macintosh said as they started walking through Amberheart. The city was pretty busy today as it was one of the last Friday nights of the summer. Still they were able to find a nice place to eat called Malburgers and got into line.
"It's very different." Luna admitted as they started to wait for a seat. "From what I can tell the winters are calmer than Michigan."
"Wait until your first Nor-Eastern." Mr. Macintosh said with a laugh. "You'll see how bad snow can be."
"Once me and siblings got snowed in at a burger joint in my home town." Luna explained to the older man. "The snow was about three feet high."
"Have you ever had a snowstorm in March?" Max asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yes plenty of times." Luna crossed one leg over the other. "It's the norm in Michigan."
"Well you don't have to deal with weather that changes with a flip of a coin." Max flipped a coin to prove his point.
"So that stereotype is true." Luna said as the hostess said that their table was ready. The table was circular with five seats around it. Luna took a a seat and Aria immediately sat next to her. This restaurant seemed to be a local burger joint as Aria and Devon were joking about getting the usual. She wonder if this place was the Burpin' Burger.
"You know this place is owned by Winston Malburg." Aria whispered with a menu in front of her.
"If you're going gossip we can all here it." Devon said crossing his arms.
"I was just telling her who owns the place." Aria put her hand on her hips and jokingly stuck her tongue out.
"Kids behave yourself." Mrs. Macintosh scolded looking from her menu. "We have a quest with one."
"But Mom she's the one with like fifteen siblings." Max protested. "She's used to it right now."
"It doesn't matter if she's used to it. We are still in a public place and we must behave." Mrs. Macintosh looked at both of her children.
Before anyone else could speak the waiter came and took everyone's orders for drinks and food. Luna didn't mind Aria and Max's interaction/ She honestly missed being around them.
"So yeah Luna you have fifteen siblings." Max said placing his arm in the table.
"She only has ten." Aria defended. "And she's probably been asked about them all day. Maybe we could talk about something."
"Yeah, like what this." Luna looked at the menu. "Unimaginable Burger."
"Oh I had one in New York City last April." Aria explained. "It's a burger made purely from plant products. It's saves the Earth."
"But you got a plain cheese burger." Luna looked at her.
"Because I when I see it I think of where I ordered it from. The place charged fifteen dollars for a cheeseburger and didn't include a drink. Surprisingly the Umimaginalbe Burger was only twelve dollars."
"That's still a lot to pay for sawdust." Max teased before turning to Luna. "Is hockey a big thing in Michigan."
"I mean my sister Lynn watched it with her friends but she watched every sport and plays every sport." Luna explained taking a sip of her soda.
"She is so lucky." Max turned towards his mother in a bit of annoyance.
"Max we've been over this. Until your grades go back you are only allowed to do one sport per season."
Max pouted a bit. "But I want to do winter travel basketball."
"If you do well in history during the fall I'll consider it." Mrs. Macintosh smiled at her song. "But you have to make honor roll deal?"
"Deal." Max smiled.
"Max loves sport almost as much as Lynn." Luna whispered to Aria.
"He loves them." Aria giggled slightly. "His favorite is hockey. He loved it ever since he got to be goalie when he was nine."
"Lynn gets the best positions in all the sports she plays. If she doesn't she tends to throw tantrums." Luna admitted. "For the longest time she was the sorest winner I know. She knows how many games she's won by the number."
"Is it like." Aria mimicked a gruff ball player. "I have won exactly 1,672 game in my life."
"No more like Yes that's my 863rd win in a row." Luna raised her hand in the air a bit to mimic Lynn.
"Can we give Aria to Luna's family and we can keep one of her brothers."
Luna laughed a little and spoke before their mom could. "I don't think my parents want to give up Lincoln."
"You only have one brother?" Max's eyes widen and Luna nodded with her eyes closed.
"His name is Lincoln he is fourteen and into comic book, video games, and roller coasters."
"Please Mom can we trade please."
"I'm sorry Max but Luna's brother wouldn't want to leave his family." The waiter came shortly after and handed everyone there food. Max was immediately cheered up by the start of food and started to dig in. Luna looked her burger for a moment.
"All beef is free range." Aria said after taking a bite of her burger. "And all food is made in the restaurant."
Luna took a bite. It tasted good, even better than Burpin' Burger. She wouldn't admit to her sisters, especially Lynn. Burpin' Burger was one of their favorite places. It was very affordable and the food was decent. But here it tasted good. Aria was right the food tasted much fresher and was maybe less greasy. lori look like this place better. She had tendency to complain when the food was too greasy. Even pizza could not escape her wrath. They finished the meal and started to walk back to Amberheart.
"I'm so glad we were able to come." Mrs. Macintosh said as they the college. "Who knows when will again. Luna it was so nice to meet you."
"It was nice to meet you too." Luna said before they finished their goodbyes and Luna and Aria started to head back to the dorms.
"I'm glad you came Luna." Aria skipped along the path to the dorms.
"I''m glad I did too." Luna walked across a stone wall.
"This may sound but ever since you found out about Friends and Family Day you seem to be sad." Aria stopped for a moment.
"What do you mean?" Luna raised one of eyebrows.
"I don't know you've just been sad. Something just seemed of. You poked at your food all the time and didn't seem to be enjoying the music to much. You lost the beat." Aria started dancing a little. "There was a lack of the Luna charm."
Luna sat down on the rock wall. "I've just missed my family. There's twelve of them they can't afford to go. I just wanted them to see the show. I miss them a lot. Somethings I want to go home to see them so bad."
"It much be a big change." Aria walked over to her and sat down next to her. "A house of thirteen to a house of how many. But we're all the same age and the dorms close some of the noise. It must be different to you. There is no limit to it all. You're so far away from them. Sure you be farer but this is till far. I get what you're saying. But you aren't with out a family."
Luna laughed a little. "What do you mean?"
"We can be your family." Aria smiled warmly. "We may not be related to each other but we still care about each other. We are in the same about none of us are commuters, so we live from know until December. Then we separate for a month before returning. Then we will be with our biological family. It doesn't matter where we will be we'll always be with our family someway."
"Wow." Luna said with a few tears filling up in her eye. "That really beautiful."
"If you want to talk about anything with me I'm always available."
Luna smiled warmly at Aria. "I will."
