The doors soon opened up to let everyone inside.

"You kids must be tired, coming all that way!" Mariko smiled. "Now, who wants some watermelon?"

"Watermelon, yay!" Estelle cheered with the little kids.

The little kids son went to get some watermelon.

"Estelle, come sit with us!" A little girl pleaded.

"Okay." Estelle agreed.

The kids giggled as they had a lot of fun with Estelle.

"Uh, excuse me, ma'am," Kenji panted to the woman at the door who let everyone else inside the home. "I just wanted to wish you the very best. Happy 90th birthday."

This caused Akito to go face-palm as he could tell this woman wasn't 90 years old.

"Uh... That's very sweet, but it's my mom's birthday." The woman told Kenji sheepishly.

"Wah, wah~..." Tony imitated a sad trombone.

"We better get inside before things get more awkward." Mo said.

Everyone took off their shoes and came into the house. They looked all around as they were on their way to meet the birthday girl.

"I know I should have mentioned this before, but when you meet my great-grandma, just go along with whatever I say." Natsuki warned the others.

"Okay, uh, what are you going to say?" Kenji asked.

"Look at all this stuff, this must be what it's like to be Samurai Jack." Tony commented on the sights of the house.

"I know, right?" Vincent agreed.

"Mother." Mariko gently called into one room.

"What is it?" An older woman replied.

"I'm home, Granny!" Natsuki beamed as she came to the old woman.

"Oh, you came." Sakae smiled at Natsuki.

The others smiled politely to this.

"I missed you so much," Natsuki knelt next to her great-grandmother. "Have you been feeling okay?"

"Never better, dear." Sakae replied.

"I was worried, they told me you've been sick." Natsuki said.

"Summer heat. That's all," Sakae told her. "Stayed out too long in the sun."

"Maman says that too much sun is bad for you." Felicity told the old woman.

Cherry soon covered her daughter's mouth as it was impolite to not speak to someone without spoken to. Felicity muffled while Cherry glared to her husband.

"I'm sorry, Cerise, I didn't know she would do that..." Forte whispered nervously.

"Good day to you all." Sakae greeted her great-granddaughter's guests.

"Good day, ma'am." Atticus said with a bow.

Sakae bowed her head back with a smile. "You look familiar..." she then smiled.

"Oh, you probably saw me on TV or in the newspapers." Atticus smiled back.

"Ohh, you're Atticus Fudo." Sakae then noticed with a smile back.

"Yes, ma'am..." Atticus replied. "Detective now, of course."

Sakae chuckled. "So you are..."

"It's been his calling for a long time..." Cherry rolled her eyes.

"I can tell." Sakae chuckled.

"Good day, ma'am." Cherry greeted.

Sakae smiled to her and then noticed Kenji.

"Um, hello..." Kenji greeted nervously.

"Remember what I promised?" Natsuki prompted her great-grandmother.

"Th-That's the boy?" Sakae asked.

"Yep, Kenji Koiso." Natsuki told her great-grandmother.

"Er, pleased to meet you," Kenji greeted nervously. "Natsuki and I are both in the physics club at school, so when she asked me-"

"Yeah, so, we're going out." Natsuki told her great-grandmother.

"Going out?" Sakae asked out of surprise.

'What is she doing?' Megan thought to herself.

"Yeah," Natsuki smiled and nodded. "Kenji's my fiancé actually."

'What is she doing?!' Akito thought to himself as he knew something was up.

Even Kenji felt lost and flabbergasted.

"So, I brought him home like I said I would." Natsuki told Sakae.

"And Detective Fudo and his family?" Sakae then queried.

"Yeah, since their family and our family have been friends for generations, we thought it would be good." Natsuki smiled.

"So I see..." Sakae then nodded before looking to Kenji curiously. "This great-granddaughter of mine is no pushover. Are you man enough to make my Natsuki happy?"

Kenji stammered as he wasn't sure how to answer that question.

"I'm asking if you're man enough." Sakae said firmly to Kenji.

"Y-Yeah, I guess..." Kenji stammered.

"Are you sure?" Sakae asked.

"Man enough to die for her?" Sakae asked.

Kenji's eyes widened at first. "Uh, yes..."

Sakae stared at him long and hard before smiling in approval. "Lucky girl."

'We are going to have a serious talk with Natsuki outside after this.' Atticus thought to himself.

"Kenji?" The others asked in slight nervousness.

"Fine." Kenji replied.

"You won't regret this." Natsuki promised.

Kenji's whole body blushed as Natsuki touched his hands. Akito could already tell this was the first time Kenji ever had his hands touched by a girl.

Lee joined the others who were watching baseball. "Ah, baseball, such a great sport." He smiled.

"Do you play baseball?" A young boy asked. "You look like you workout a lot."

"I sure do workout a lot and yeah, I do play baseball and soccer and football and basketball." Lee told him.

"Awesome!" The young boy beamed. "I wanna be just like you when I grow up!"

"With plenty of exercise and some studying, you just might." Lee smiled.

"Studying?" The young boy pouted.

"Yeah, my girlfriend taught me good tutoring and studying methods so I can stay on my sports teams." Lee nodded.

"That was nice of her." The young boy said.

"Yeah, I owe her a lot..." Lee smiled proudly as he glanced back toward Estelle's direction, and where she was playing virtual Koi-Koi with Natsuki.

"What happened?" Rika smiled as she joined the others in the baseball game. "Did he win?"

"Yep." Lee nodded.

The kids then went to tell their granny the good news.

"Natsuki, had you lost your mind?" Shota yelled out.

"Quiet, Shota," Tasuke told him as Atticus helped him put up decorations. "No need to yell like that."

"Your fiancé? Cousin Shota objects!" Shota became flustered. "Damn! I was too slow!"

"What's with him?" Atticus asked.

"What isn't wrong with him?" Tasuke muttered.

"He's acting like Natsuki needed to ask his permission before getting engaged." Atticus said.

"Sound familiar, Atticus?" Mo sighed to her husband about their daughter and her relationship with Lee which everyone else was just fine with.

Atticus soon realized that he was behaving just like Shota.

"Oh, man, that was the best baseball game ever!" Lee beamed as he ran in with the younger kids to tell them the good news about the game.

"You should go tell Sakae." Atticus said.

Lee agreed as he then went off with the younger kids.

Atticus sighed. "I just don't wanna lose Estelle."

"Will you cut it out?!" Cherry walked up to him. "You're never gonna lose her! Yes, she's interested in boys now, yes, she's a teenager, yes, she'll graduate soon, but that doesn't mean that you're gonna lose her! And you keeping her from Lee won't make it any better!"

"Okay, okay." Atticus said.

"No, not okay, you say you'll give him a chance, but you just split them up," Cherry replied. "If you keep pushing her away, she might just end up running away from home. I mean, Uncle James accepted you... Edward accepted Harvey... Why can't you just let Estelle be happy? You let Vincent go with Jenny and Akito go with Emi, heck, even Ash and Emi's old man loves Akito like another son!"

"I don't know why, I just always see Estelle as still my little girl." Atticus said.

"You're a dad, it's common, even if some of the dads we know are more loose about Akito and Vincent..." Cherry shrugged. "You gotta let her grow up though... She's not a little girl anymore."

"I know and I'll try." Atticus said.

"You are a fickle man..." Cherry said to him. "I hate to say this, but you're more complicated than Forte, and he gave me headaches when we were in high school."

"I know." Atticus said.

"Just think about what I said." Cherry replied before walking off.

Atticus sighed to her as he hated to admit it, but she was right.
