The Ranchero Dallas: 6pm: Banquet room
The ladies are gorgeous; we males are pale specter in our suits. We await the Griffin party. A loud bark heralds their arrival. Griffin enters followed by Max and Pax and a young girl with dark skin and hair, timid, shy adorable.
Mom steps forward and hug Griffin, Max and Elizabeth. They are taken aback by this show on reconciliation. Griffin apologize for his behavior this morning. Introductions are made. He lingers over Fred, till Max says "stop hogging in on my girlfriend Grif" laughter erupts. The new Elizabeth likes to be called Davida. The Elizabeth's Fred and Davida are instantly thick as thieves. Dad, Freddy and Griffin are quickly bonding. The angry and pain from this morning is gone. Griffin was always the black sheep of the family, responsible, sober, workaholic and graduated MIT at twenty, caring for his sibling when no one else would or did.
The dinner goes great till over dessert; Max and Davida proclaim they have to visit Seattle, to see the rest of their new relatives and they're favorite Band HEAVY R. A Griffin's in love with the lead guitar player Harem girl.
Fred spits her food across the table landing in Griffin plate. Sam looks at Max and Davida "O that so cool I can get you guys backstage, Griffin no so much, but you two defiantly". Fred looks angry, then upset, than laughs final
"Griffin in love with Harem girl, well I think I'm jealous, I thought you were in love with me. Now you will have to settle for neither. Sam he'll have to beg worse than Teddy to get me back." She rises and leave, Sam and Davida in her wake.
Freddy smiles and Dad winks at me. Mom follows after the girls.
Max punches his brother arm and "You've done it now slugger. Made my girlfriend mad"
I try hard not fall out of my seat. Stiffening laughter "Griffin how do you feel about acting, makeup, and possible a pink spangled tutu?" The table erupts. I can hear the girls outside in the hall laughing too, Poor Griffin and Max have no ideas what they've fall into.
