《The Incredibles》Chapter 3: Dinner Discussions
Advertisement
——————————🦸🏼♂️——————————
The Parr family were all sitting down at dinner, with (Y/n) joining them as she usually did when her parents were out working late. Bob and Helen sat at the ends of the table and Vince and Dash sat together on one side, while (Y/n) and Jack-Jack sat on the other end.
Most of the family was in a crummy mood after today and they all watched in silence as Helen was feeding the youngest, Jack-Jack, while making weird noises and faces.
"Mom. You're making weird faces again." Dash whined.
"No, I'm not." She denied.
"You makes weird faces, honey." Bob cut in, without looking up from his newspaper.
Helen glared at him. "Do you have to read at the table?"
"Uh-huh. Yeah."
Helen turned to Dash who was trying to rip his meat apart. "Smaller bites Dash. Yikes! Bob, could you help the carnivore cut his meat?"
Bob sighed, but leaned over to cut Dash's food.
"Dash, do you have something you wanna tell your father about school?" Helen asked.
Dash chuckled nervously. "Uh...well, we dissected a frog."
"Dash got sent to the office again." Helen stated bluntly.
"Good. Good." Bob muttered, distracted.
"No, Bob, that's bad."
Bob looked up at her. "What?"
"Dash got sent to the office again." Helen repeated.
"What? What for?"
"Nothing." Dash grumbled.
"He put a tack on the teachers chair, during class."
"Nobody saw me. You could barely see it on the tape." Dash sneered.
"They caught you on tape and you still got away with it? Whoa! You must have been booking. How fast do you think you were going?" Bob asked excitedly as he cut the meat faster.
"Bob, we are not encouraging this." Helen scolded.

"I'm not encouraging, I'm just asking how fast-!"
"Honey!"
Bob looked down and saw that he was cutting so fast, that he cut right through the plate and the table.
"Great. First the car, now I gotta pay to fix the table..." Bob mumbled.
"The car? What happened to the car?"
Little did Helen know, that Bob accidentally slammed the door closed too hard and broke the window.
Bob didn't say anything, however. He just gave Dash his plate. "Here. I'm getting a new plate."
Helen cleared her throat and turned to Vince. "So, how about you, Vi? How was school?"
"Nothing to report." He said quietly.
He wished he could tell his family that he had finally worked up the courage to ask out the girl sitting across from him, but sadly, no.
"You've hardly touched your food." Helen noticed.
"I'm not hungry for meatloaf."
"Well, it is leftover night. We have steak, pasta...what are you hungry for?" She asked.
"(Y/n)~" Dash whispered teasingly.
"Shut up." Vince hissed glancing up at (Y/n) to see she hadn't heard him.
"Well you are!" Dash said.
Vince pointed his fork at Dash threateningly. "I said shut up you little insect!"
"Well, he is!"
(Y/n) looked back and forth between them, wondering what they were talking about.
"Do not shout at the table!" Helen scolded. "Honey!"
"Kids! Listen to your mother." Bob's voice said from the other room.
"He'd eat if we were having (Y/n)loaf." Dash mocked into his cup.
"That's it!"
Vince threw his fork down and launched at Dash, both of them falling to the floor.
(Y/n)'s eyes widened in shock as she watched the two wrestling on the ground.
Dash threw Vince off of him and started speeding around the table hitting him as he ran past.

Vince waited until Dash got to the other end of the table and put up a forcefield that Dash ran right into.
"Hey, no force fields!" Dash yelled.
"You started it!"
Helen extended her arms around Dash and Vince to make them stop, but they ran under the table and started fighting again.
(Y/n) ducked under the table as well, and tried to pull Vince and Dash apart.
...
Bob was in the kitchen looking at the newspaper when he noticed an article about a missing man that used to be one of his superhero friends, Gazerbeam.
"Bob! It's time to engage!" Helen shouted from the other room.
...
Bob came back into the room and saw his two kids fighting under the table while his wife was being held down by her arms since they were around the two boys.
"Do something! Don't just stand there! I need you to intervene!"
"You want me to intervene? Okay, I'm intervening!"
Bob picked up the table and Vince and Dash were now fighting in midair while (Y/n) was still trying to push them apart.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang and they all froze. Bob put the table back and everyone sat back down as if nothing had happened.
Dash opened the door to see Lucius, a.k.a Frozone, standing in the entrance.
"Hey, Lucius!" Dash exclaimed.
"Hey, Speedo, Helen, Vi, (Y/n), Jack-Jack." Lucius greeted.
"Ice of you to drop by." Bob said.
"Ha! Never heard that one before." Lucius deadpanned.
"Hey, Lucius!" Dash spit water into the air, and Lucius froze it into an icicle and caught it.
"Aw, I like it when it shatters." Dash whined.
"I'll be back later." Bob leapt up from the table.
"Hey, where are you two going?" Helen asked.
"It's Wednesday." Bob reminded her.
Helen sighed. "Bowling night. Say hello to Honey for me, Lucius."
"Will do. Goodnight Helen. Goodnight kids." Lucius said, as Bob ushered him out the door.
Helen glanced back over at Dash who gave an innocent smile.
"Don't think you've avoided talking about your trip to the principal's office, young man. Your father and I are still gonna discuss it."
Dash rolled his eyes. "I'm not the kid who's been sent to the office you know."
"Other kids don't have superpowers." Helen pointed out. "Now, it's perfectly normal..."
"Normal? What do you know about normal?" Vince interrupted. "What does anyone in this family know about normal?"
"Now, wait a minute young man."
"We act normal, mom. I wanna be normal. The only normal one is Jack-Jack, and he's not even toilet trained!"
(Y/n) tapped her foot on Vince's and he glanced over to her and she offered him an encouraging smile that seemed to say, 'I don't care if your not normal.'
Vince gave her a small smile back which she thought meant 'thank you' but it actually meant, 'marry me right now.'
"Lucky." Dash mumbled.
Helen glared at him.
"I meant about being normal..."
