*T3 wanted to just curl up under a rock. How could this all be happening?* Go die! *He said to his brother, but he was still hiding in his hands. He turned some so he could look into Zane's eyes* You didn't need to be exposed to this asshole *He mumbled out, putting his head back against the other man's shoulder* My whole family is crazy, they are loud and ask a million questions and...*He sighed, embarrassment starting to ebb as he leaned against Zane* I thought for sure he was yelling at you *He mumbled out only to his partner*

*Nate finally got the laughter under control, wiping tears away from his eyes as he straightened, head turning toward the course as Tak mentioned Keely* Aww man, the princess is a riot *He said still trying to catch his laughter*

[Binx]

You do have a point. Mama Juju knows she runs better with better music. *He said as the music did indeed shift as Keely was taking her mark.* No..no puppies or Roos.. you stuffies would have no room.*Binx said to Stella as she was picked up.*

[Zane]

Oh I had a 'oh shit' moment. Thinking I had let the cat out of the bad and You'd be upset with me. *Zane said as he pet T3's back and soothed him* I'd rather them ask a million questions and answer all them. That's what good boyfriends do. *When Tak said Keely was coming up, Zane gave T3 a pat.* Better watch Keely and see how she does.

[Keely]

*Stepping up on the start, Keely gave a couple quick jumps and moved her arms testing her body making sure she was warmed up well. The sound of her newest Kpop obsession came on and she found the beat as the whistle blew. Front flipping off the wall and catching the low bar, Keely swung up to the next obstacle. This was the trick portion of the tournament and she made sure she was doing the best ones she knew and maybe some that she came up on the fly. Keely let the music move her and made it almost look like a choreographed routine. There was only one blunder towards the end but Keely recovered enough that it almost looked intentional, at least to everyone save Tak or Mama Juju. Ending her run with a double back flip just to be extra, she was panting like crazy with a big grin on her face.*

[Tak]

*Tak chuckled at the little girl* Of course you do, maybe someday we will get a puppy but you are going to have to deal with what you got for now *The wolf knew for damn sure they weren't getting a dog anytime soon but he didn't mind giving the little girl a little hope and besides he was a puppy, it counted. He watched Keely's run with enthusiasm and carefully pulled Stella away before he let out another loud whistle*

[Stella]

*Stella stuck her tongue out at her brother before grinning at Tak, she yelled for Indie as the music started, clapping with excitement at the end*

[TTT]

You don't know my brothers *T3 said seriously, he let out a sigh* I keep trying to tell them but when I think about what Joe is going to say or ask *He sighed, rubbing his face again. When it was Keely's turn he pulled Zane up to stand beside him to Cheer for his best friend*

Joe is defiantly going to have some shit to say too *Nate put his fingers in his mouth, whistling around them loudly as Keely started. He grinned as she went through the routine, clapping and cheering louder than anyone when it was finished*

[Binx]

*Binx would have put his hands over Stella's ears but she was too far from him and he wasn't allowed to move. He let out a whoop and cheered Keely on and saw the recover and thought it was a good move that could be argued it was part of it.* Not bad! She's defiantly improved a lot.

[Zane]

Ehh, I'll be fine. *He said not worried about it. T3 would have to know what his family was like. Survive them and you could handle any interrogation. He cheered Keely like the rest and had no idea what anything was or what was good. but he still cheered like he did. T3 was helping him to get it.*

[Keely]

*Keely hopped a low wall and headed over to the the gang on the bleachers.* Man, I about ate it! *She said as she joined the others. Keely had made the run partly fueled with the desire to impress the crowd, especially a certain boy. Keely panting slowed as she put her hands on her hips.* Sooo, puppies am I right? *She motioned between T3 and Zane.*Her eyes fell on Nate *Keely panted softly

[Tak]

*Tak chuckled and pulled Stella closer again, putting her on his hip* She has, she kept her momentum through the whole route, she didn't flinch at the mistake, and she finished just as strong as she started *The coach smiled proudly as Keely made it back over toward the gang* Great job! *He gently patted her shoulder, beaming with pride*

[Stella]

*Stella hadn't been totally deafened this time and clapped excitedly when Keely came back over* Flips, flips! *She bounced excitedly on Tak's side* Good Job! Good Job! *She echoed then looked up at Tak* She's gettin puppies too!?!?!

[TTT]

The recovery was smooth! *T3 reached up for a high five then sighed as she brought up the damn puppies again* You all can jump out of my love life at any fuckin time! *He said exasperated before he heard the baby and he rubbed his face in embarrassment* Everyone gets your laughs assholes. We are going to get closer for Inline's. *He grabbed Zane's hand and pulled him toward the course, being careful to stay by the bleachers and not in the way*

*Nate grinned and took the highfive that T3 had left* As expected pretty fuckin sweet, I didn't see ya fuck up! *He laughed as the others left the group* He's not going to survive Joe

[Binx]

*Binx agreed with coach. He was spot on.* Also helps she has her biggest fan here. Noth that we are trying to impress anyone. *He whispered to just Tak.* No! *Binx said to Stella asking about puppies with Keely. Lord save them from those two*

[Zane]

*Zane Let T3 drag him away, just grinning as he gave them a wave.* Let me know what Night I'm expected for my inquisition, I mean meeting of the family. *He called back to Nate.*

[Keely]

Thanks Coach! *Keely beamed to Tak. She was pretty proud of her run definitly things to work on but still great. Looking at nate, his praise meant more than even Tak's in that moment.* Thanks, Nate. *She laughed as the two boys walked away.* Oh he'll eat them a live...*She moved closer to him.*

[Tak]

*Tak chuckled and winked at the boy* Noticed that too did ya? *He whispered before nodding to Keely* If you aren't in the top I call bullshit * He smirked before he kissed the baby's cheek* Starshine they are teasing T3, no one is getting puppies. Besides you already have a puppy that visits you sometimes. *He wrinkled his nose at her before putting his nose to hers* Mama Juju can't handle no more besides a new puppy might hurt bubby by accident

[Stella]

NOT MY BUBBY *She gasped in very real horror before scrambling out of Tak's arms and infront of her brother, holding out her hands like she was stopping someone* No one hurts my bubby *She let out what was supposed to be a terrifying growl*

[TTT]

*T3 shook his head at Zane* You seriously going to come over? It isn't to soon *He didn't really know how to move with this and it was obvious. He had never had anyone he liked this much, that wanted to meet his family. He also knew how Zane felt about his own family and didn't know how he would react to what the Thompsons had to offer* I don't want to like freak you out *He squeezed Zane's hand*

*Nate grinned as Keely stepped up beside him* Badass work. I didn't even hear you yell parkour once. Good job *He patted her head, teasing her as he brought up the office* Oh for sure, Joe is going to shit a brick. Should we arrange a little accident for Joseph so Mom can meet the boytoy first?

[Binx]

*Binx picked up Stella and held her in his lap.* You protect me from all the puppies. *He snuggled her.* Oh! so vicious.

[Zane]

*Zane squeezed T3's hand back.* Yes, I want to meet them. Your important to me and they are important to you. I will have to meet them eventually. *Zane said as they moved closer to Inline's area. He found them a spot on the benches and lead them to it.* I promise no freaking out. This may shock you but I'm really quite calm under pressure.

[Keely]

Dude! The struggle to not yell out parkour is soooo real! *She took the pat on the head and didnt shrug it off.* Oh will have to run interference on Joe so Mom can meet Zane first. I think she will like him. He's a cool guy, shit parents but good guy. *The girl talked as if she may have done some digging into Zane's back ground.*

[Tak]

*Tak chuckled at his kids. He glanced towards Juju, a sudden urge to see that she was okay taking over*

[Stella]

All te puppies! *Stella squealed as she was pulled up into his lap. She bared her teeth like a good puppy* I'm scarrrry *She growled out oh so meanly. She pretended to bite an invisible attacker*

*Inline did her normal sets, carefully stretching just as Keely had. She had produced earphones out of somewhere and was listening to her anime playlist as she watched the others go through the course. She had a routine, she could do this*

[TTT]

*T3 smiled at Zane when he said he was important* You're important to me too. *He said back softly, sitting down on the bleachers. He should have been paying attention but Zane, as almost always, had all of it* I was hoping it would be in some bizzaro world in the future but if you want to meet them, I can set up a dinner or something *He squeezed the others hand and then laughed, rubbing the back of his neck and frizzing his already frizzy white hair more* As long as you know I'm not. I don't to pressure you and I crumple under pressure *At least he was aware of it*

*Nate laughed at her* I knew it, I could see it in the way your mouth twitches when you run. In your head you are just yelling parkour, parkour, parkour *He did his best version of Michael Scott before grinning at her* You know Mom loves everybody, especially if they have a tragic back story. *He raised an eyebrow* How much you looked in to him? Do I need to be jealous? *He teased*
