Once Bruce had his meeting, Donna cooled down, and Kori being fully dressed everyone meet in the living room due to Bruce's request. Richard and his wife on the love seat Donna in her reading chair and Babs in the lazy boy. Bruce stood in front of the mantel as if he were a detective ready to make the dramatic ending of the mystery and point out the killer.
Bruce glazed a crossed the room a plain emotionless look on his face. "I think everyone would be glad to know I got the Willkie case and the Clay case." he said still no emotion.
"Then why did you call us here?" asked Babs who was slightly annoyed.
"Well I'm getting real sick of how everyone has been acting lately, things here need to change." Donna jumped up from her chair and pointing her finger at the couple. "I agree! Dick and Kori should-" Bruce cut off his wife before she could say something that would upset Richard and Kori.
"No I meant you're and Babs attitude that is making everything in this house is go crazy." Bruce walked over to the coffee table that was in front of the love seat, and took Kori's hand.
"I'm not angry about earlier, what happened was really what helped me to land though cases, but it can't happen again, and I know Dick wont let it, so don't be upset Kori." Kori smiled at her father in-law. "Thank you Bruce."
"As for you too." Bruce stood up and looked at his wife and Babs. "Act like adults from now on, especially tomorrow at the Moth Picnic I want to try and get new clients and not worry about you too acting like children."
"Moth picnic?" Kori asked, Richard wanted to kick himself for not telling Bruce he didn't want Kori to go.
"The Moth Picnic is something the Moth Family does every year to get everyone from big companies together from work to have fun, we go every year to see some old friends." Bruce saw Richard silently slap his forehead and raised a brow.
"Richard may we go?" Kori asked Richard was trying to come up with some excuse from them not to go, but Donna answered before he could. "NO! Never there are going people there that are old friends and I don't want Kori to embarrass us!"
"For God's Sake Donna would it kill you to get new friends who don't stab you in the back every chance they get, and Mr. Willkie and Mr. Clay will be there and they asked to see Kori there…dressed of course. so stop you're whining and go have a drink or something." Donna Stomped her foot angrily and marched her way out of the room Babs tailing her needing a drink for herself.
"Dick why don't you and Kori go upstairs and find a nice sundress or something for Kori to wear tomorrow, I'll be in my office if you need me." Once Bruce was gone Kori flung herself at Richard.
"I'm sorry I embarrass your family Richard." Kori murmured into Richard's shirt. "You don't babe, you make everything more interesting." Kori smiled as Richard leaded into kiss her.
Kori sat in front of the vanity mirror in the guest room, getting ready for bed. She was brushing her hair when a knock came at her door. "Come in." her eyes not leaving the mirror.
The white door opened, revealing Babs dressed in her coat as if she were about to leave. "hey sorry about today, you know me laying on top of your 'husband' and all." Babs almost chocked on her apology.
"No need to apologize Richard told me everything." Kori watching Babs in the mirror, Babs was a little shocked. "And your not angry?"
'This Kori must be from another planet thinking it was ok with another women trying seduce her husband.' Babs thought to herself. Kori dropped her brush to her lap and turn slightly turned to actually look at her visitor.
"You were looking for a file for Bruce and tripped why should I be angry." Babs smirked, same old playboy Richard.
"I just thought you might be thinking something else happened. So now that's settled I'm going home now see you tomorrow at the picnic." Babs was about to walk out but was stopped by a sad sigh made by Kori.
"What? Do you not want to go?" Babs would have left but she could use Kori's self-confidence to her advanced .
"No I do I'm just nerves that's all I don't know what to say the those people, I'm afraid I'm going to embarrass myself." Babs smirked.
"Look let me give you some advice, Mr. and Mrs. Jones, are the only ones you have to win over, and the rest with love you instantly." Babs crouched down next to Kori looking her in the eye.
"How do I do that?"
"Comments are their favorite thing about people, let me tell you what to say to win them over."
'oh yes this might work perfectly.' Babs thought.
It was a beautiful and sunny day for a picnic, everyone dancing, laughing and having fun.
When The Wyanes, Graysons, and one miss Babs Gordon showed up everyone of Donna's 'friends' running up to say hi or well gossip about the pretty red head wrapped around Richard's arm that clearly wasn't Babs.
Bruce found some clients to chat with well Donna and Babs were at a table full of gossipers.
Richard had decide to go around and introduce Kori to everyone so no one would be asking any questions or making stupid rumors.
"Mr. and Mrs. Jones This is my lovely wife Kori." Kori remember their names from Babs, The Jones Family were probably the richest people in town and practically ran the city. Mr. Jones was a thin old man with a lot of facial hair his eye brows ere practically down to his chin. Mr. Jones a really fat old women, with absolutely no idea how to dress herself since she was wearing a sundress too sizes to small.
"Dick, she is very lovely, Right dear?" Mr. Jones asked his wife who was chewing on a pieces of licorice.
"Yes very pretty nice to meet you my dear." she said. Kori gave a small bow, before replying.
"Pleased to meet you as well, Mrs. Jones you look very fat in that dress." Richard looked as his wife as if she went nuts, Mrs. Jones looked as is she were about to tackled Kori.
"I beg you're pardon?!" she slightly yelled. Kori just smiled. "Mr. Jonas you're facial hair looks as if it were lost rat sleeping on you're face." Mr. Jonas just stare at her his mouth slightly opened,
"James you better not let her talk to us like that!" Mrs. Jonas screamed. Richard quickly jumped of Kori blocking her from the Jonas family.
"I'm so sorry, my wife's English isn't that good she didn't mean it!" Richard quickly grabbed Kori's forearm and dragged her off.
Once they were from everybody Richard looked at her as if she was an alien where did those hurtful comments come from this was noting like her.
"Kori what was that why did you say those horrible things to the Jones?" Kori looked confused,
"Is that not the way to greet them? Babs said-"
"Stop right there, Babs told you to say those things?" Kori nodded Richard sighed
"She lied to you, you really hurt their feelings." Kori gasped as tears started to slow to pour from her eyes.
"I didn't mean to I just didn't want to embarrass myself but I guess I did just that." Richard hugged his wife as she wept silently.
'This cant get worse." Richard thought to himself.
"Dicky-poo! There you are!" Richards face dropped
'I lied its worse."
