Over the next few days, Kristen and Felix's relationship grew. On the day of the Autumn Moon festival, Kristen and her family were getting ready for the Volturi family to come over for dinner. Her father was cooking dinner as she was upstairs in her room getting dressed. Her maid was helping her put on her red kimono. She put the kimono on and her maid put the blue silk sash around her waist. She tied it tight and she put on her white socks. She sat at her vanity and started on her hair and make up. She put up her hair with her red style sticks and put her hair comb with the cherry blossom on it in her hair. Meanwhile, Felix was getting ready for dinner at the Lakewood's. He put on his red silk shirt and black pants. He put on his black blazer and his shoes. He put on his silver Rolex and put on the medallion his uncle gave him.
"Felix!" Aro called. "Let's go. We're going to be late."
Felix went downstairs and went out to the limo with his family. Meanwhile back at Kristen's house, she was helping her mom put up the decorations. Her father set the table as she put a cushion at each place. She set a pair of black chopsticks at each place just as the door bell rang. Marcella opened the door to see the Volturi family.
"Hello. Welcome to our home." Marcella said. "Please come in, but please take off your shoes before you come in." She said.
Aro and Sulpicia took off their shoes and put them by the door before they entered. Alec, Jane, and Felix did the same. The butler took their coats as they came in. Marcella led them to the dining room as Simon came in from the kitchen carrying dinner. He put the dishes in the middle of the table as the maid set some of the other dishes in the middle of the table as well.
"Welcome Mr. Volturi. I'm Simon Lakewood and this is my wife, Marcella." Simon said introducing himself.
"It's nice to meet you." Aro said. "I'm Aro Volturi and this is my wife, Sulpicia." He said putting his arm around her waist. "This is my son and daughter, Alec and Jane." He said gesturing to them.
"Well, it's nice to meet you." Simon said shaking his hand. "It's good to see you again Felix." He said greeting him.
"Same here sir." Felix said.
"Hello Felix." A feminine voice said.
The Volturi family turned around to see Kristen in a red silk kimono. She walked up to Felix and hugged him. She greeted the family and they all kneeled around the table. Felix kneeled beside Kristen as the last of the dishes were brought out. Kristen picked up her red cloth napkin and unfolded it. She laid it on her lap before she picked up her chopsticks. She put some food on her plate with a few pieces of sushi. Everyone started eating after Simon said the prayer.
"Felix." Simon said. "My daughter tells me that you are on the football team." He said.
"Yes sir." Felix said. "I met your daughter on the first day of school and we just clicked."
Felix took a hold of Kristen's right hand and kissed it. Simon looked at her hand and saw the ring that Felix gave her. Felix whispered to her before he kissed her cheek. Simon was about to make a comment when Marcella pinched his arm and gave him a glare.
"Will you excuse us for a minute?" Marcella said grasping Simon's arm.
She brought him into the kitchen as Kristen was talking to Felix. She picked up the white china teapot with the pink cherry blossoms on it and poured some tea for herself. She put the teapot down and started drinking her tea. Aro and Sulpicia noticed that Kristen was very polite and well taught. She gracefully rose up from the table when she heard her mother call her.
"She's very polite isn't she?" Sulpicia asked after Kristen disappeared into the kitchen.
"Yes she is." Aro said. "She's an extraordinary girl Felix." He commented.
Kristen came back in the room with a bottle of wine as her mother carried in dessert for later on after dinner. Kristen put the bottle down on the table and sat back down beside Felix. Kristen started eating her dumplings as she was explaining some things about the celebration. All of a sudden, Alec started coughing.
"Alec? Are you okay?" Jane asked.
Alec shook his head as he pointed to a small dish with green goop in it. Simon's eyes widened as he tapped Kristen on her shoulder.
"Sweetheart? Take Alec into the kitchen." Simon said.
Kristen got up and walked over to Alec. She helped him up and took him into the kitchen. She got a glass of milk from the fridge and gave to him to drink. Alec drank the milk down and relaxed against the counter.
"Are you alright?" Kristen asked.
"Yes." Alec said. "What was that green gunk?" He asked.
"That was Wasabi. It's a very spicy mustard from Japan." Kristen said as she got a red cloth napkin from the drawer.
She wiped his mouth with the napkin and took him back into the dining room. They both sat back down and finished eating. Later on after dinner, they were all still at the table about to eat desert.
"What are these?" Aro asked as he picked up one of the pastries.
"They're moon cakes." Marcella said.
"What are moon cakes?" Jane asked.
"They are very special pastries made to celebrate the Autumn Moon Festival." Kristen said.
They ate dessert as they talked. Kristen reached into the pockets of her kimono and took out two Japanese performing fans.
"Watch this." Kristen said.
She snapped open the fans and twirled them in her hands. She flipped them in the air and caught them. She flipped one over the other and caught it.
"Very nicely done." Aro said.
"Thank you." Kristen said putting the fans down.
