Family Episode 17
It was a beautiful day in the valley of peace that bore its name.
In short drive, our 5 defenders of the valley lying on the ground, sitting in the case of Dominic and Alena, sweating hard.
Teacher: Good; you have made great progress, dear students. The training today is over.
Suddenly Zeng, the messenger duck quickly came next to Shifu with a message in the wings.
Zeng Master Shifu! An important message for Alex!
Alex flashed a curious look and took the message handed him Zeng before reading.
Alex: OH NO!
Exclaimed he suddenly.
Dominic: A problem, Al?
Alex stared at his friends despondently.
Alex: My family comes to visit me ...
Everyone flashed a surprised look.
Laurence: But it's great!
Alena: Yeah; why you depressed?
Alex gazed at the floor.
Alex: Well, my family ... is not really a family like any other.
They stared at him curiously.
Laurence: What do you mean by that?
Before he could answer, Zeng interrupted.
Zeng: The family of Alex is here!
Alex: Already? Oh no!
Dominic gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder.
Dominic: Do not worry, old man; I am sure you will love your family.
With that, our friends joined Shifu, Po and 5 at the entrance of the Jade Palace to greet the family of Alex.
Viper: I'm looking forward to Alex's family.
She whispered to Laurence who nodded with a smile.
Then Zeng opened the doors to show a group of 4 beetles including one with a big behind wearing black pants, a more resembling Alex but older and with a pacifier in her mouth, with a medium sized behind tribal tattoos anywhere on the body and the last in the form of a sumo with red pants.
The beetle with a big bum rushed immediately to Alex.
Scarab: Alex! Son!
He exclaimed as he took Alex into a big Collade.
Alex: Dad! I love you too, but I need to breathe!
Scarab: Oh, sorry.
With that, he let Alex, leaving him catch his breath before looking at others.
Scarab: Well, do not stay there, present us your dear friends!
Alex: Okay.
He said, turning to his friends.
Alex: Friends, he is my father, Dan, the leader of the tribe.
Then the beetle with a lollipop came to dimension it.
Alex: He's Oli, my brother and the king of the party.
He gave her a pat on the shoulder.
Oli: You're too nice. A lollipop.
He said, offering a pacifier Alex took.
Po: Oh, do I have one too?
He asked excitedly.
Oli: Of course.
He said, offering a pacifier at Po who took overjoyed.
Alex: He's Vincent, my cousin.
He said in presenting the tattooed beetle.
Vincent: I work as a builder!
He said with an intimidating air that gave goose bumps to everyone.
Alex: And he is my uncle, Réal.
He ends up with sumo beetle.
Dir: I am a sumo wrestler.
Leo: We noticed.
Whispered it to Dominic.
Dan: Well, and who are its charming friends who have care of my boy in my absence?
Alex: This is Master Shifu, master. He is Po, the Dragon Warrior. Them, they are Tigress, Viper, Monkey, Mantis and Crane, 5 cyclones. And here my classmates and best friends, Dominic Laurence, Leo and Alena.
He introduces all his friends.
Dan: And tell me, which of these lovely young ladies is your girlfriend?
Everyone began to chuckle while Alex blushed.
Alex: I have no girlfriend, Dad!
He gave her a friendly pat on the shoulder.
Dan: You do, the steps; love takes time to come.
Everyone began to chuckle again and Alex blushed more.
Later the dinner hour arrived, accompanied by our friends Alex's family gathered in the kitchen for the meal.
Once the bowls of noodles served, Dan could not help telling stories about the childhood of Alex.
Dan: ... And then he began to play the bongos, but was stopped when lots of girls were attracted by its melody.
Everyone laughed except Alex.
Alex: You have nothing better to do than to humiliate me in front of my friends, Dad?
He asked sarcastically.
Alena: Why? They are interesting, these anecdotes.
Alex: Well, I find them stupid.
He retorted dryly before continuing to eat her noodles.
There was an uneasy silence to one second before Dan starts talking.
Dan: Oh! I have another, very, very good. Did you know that Alex has been dating a girl of her age who-
Alex had enough and left the table and the dining room without saying a word.
Everyone was surprised.
Oli: Hey! Bro! Wait!
Shifu stopped him with his hand.
Shifu: Your brother needs a little time. Let him.
Laurence could not help getting worried for Alex.
Later, on the roof of the palace, Alex was sitting watching the full moon, sighing.
Laurence suddenly came beside him.
Laurence: Hey, Al Okay.?
He nodded without turning.
Laurence crazy lives away that something was not going well for him.
Laurence: Alex, what's wrong?
Alex sighed.
Alex: I do not feel good in the middle of my family. I'm not like them, it shows. They keep treating me like a child. I'm not a child; I'm old enough to choose my own voice, right?
Laurence began his wing Alex on the shoulder to get his attention.
Laurence: It's okay, coconut. The important thing is that your family loves you. Think of those as Dominic Alena or who have not had the chance to Have a big family. And they are always there to comfort you, right?
Alex smiled, knowing that her owl friend was right.
Alex: Right. Thank you, Laurence.
Suddenly, Alex took wing Laurence in his hand and the two friends came increasingly from each other.
Suddenly emerged from Oli nulpart on the roof.
Oli: What you are doing both?
Laurence and Alex parted soon.
Alex: Nothing, we talk, that's all!
He said, blushing with Laurence.
Two days later, the timing of the homework had come to Alex's family.
Dir: Goodbye, big guy.
Vincent: Watch what you eat all the time.
Oli: Be careful with your Kung Fu fighting.
Alec nodded.
Alex: I promise.
Dan: We'll miss you, Son.
He said, taking her son in her arms for a hug which was shared with the rest of his family.
The other was charmed by this touching scene.
Soon after, Alex's family left the palace by goodbye hands.
Alex took their bye in return, being happy to have a family ...
