Darren: Please. It's this Friday @6:00PM.

Y/N: But Darren...I'm kind of scared.

Darren: Come on Y/N. I talk about you all the time and they really want to see you.

Y/N: My family wants to see you too but I simply tell them no.

Darren: Do you love me?

Y/N: Of course.

Darren: No I mean really love me. You don't have to say it just because I say it to you.

Y/N: I would never say it if I didn't mean it.

Darren: Then what is it? I can't meet your family and you can't meet mine? How are we ever going to have a future? Huh?

Y/N: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset. I'll just go and I'll see you tomorrow.

Darren: Don't bother coming if you're not going to meet my parents.

Y/N turned around with a shocked expression

Y/N: What?

Darren: You have to decide. If our families never meet then whats the purpose of us dating if you're never going to be my wife?

Y/N: Darren I would honestly marry you in a heart beat. I'm just scared. Your family is going to have me under a microscope and if they don't like me-

Darren: They will.

Y/N: You don't know that.

Darren: Well I don't know if your family would like me but I still want to meet them.

Y/N: Look Darren. I know how much family means to you but my family is different. You value your parents opinion over everything. I don't. Everything my family has said to me brings out my insecurities and it makes me anxious to even be in the same room with them. I don't want them to dictate our future together. I'm marrying you not your family.

Darren: You've been pushing this off for 3 months. I'm not going to change what I said Y/N. I need an answer before you leave.

Y/N: Fine! Send me the address.

Darren: I'll pick you up.

Y/N: No need.

Y/BF/N: Hey bitch! What's up?

Y/N: I'm so fucking close to jumping the boarder and changing my name to Gloria Ramirez Lazaro.

Y/BF/N: Girl you need to stop. What's wrong?

Y/N: Darren wants to meet each others families.

Y/BF/N: Again?

Y/N: Yeah and they are having a dinner @6:00 on Friday.

Y/BF/N: Oh shit! That's like soon, soon.

Y/N: I know.

Y/BF/N: What did you say this time?

Y/N: He gave me an ultimatum.

Y/BF/N: What kind of ultimatum?

Y/N: Either I see his family or don't both coming back.

Y/BF/N: Did you tell him why you don't want to?

Y/N: I did but obviously he doesn't care. I just sound like the bad guy but he really doesn't know what he is getting himself into.

Y/BF/N: Yeah you have very strict parents and they always give back handed compliments.

Y/N: And that's when they are nice.

Y/BF/N:Well I know first hand how difficult your family can be and we aren't even dating. But despite how they are, they still feed me and talk to me because I matter to you. I think your parents and his parents will because they both love their kids.

Y/N: And if not?

Y/BF/N: Then fuck it. What you guys think about each other is all that matters.

Y/N: Then do think I should invite my parents too?

Y/BF/N: Ummm... normally I would say hell no but considering he gave you such an ultimatum. I think inviting them would be the perfect way to even the score.

Y/N: Great idea! But I have to ask... What should I bring?

Y/BF/N: Make something and buy something just to cover all bases. Maybe buy a nice wine and make something that links to him.

Y/N: How about making something associated with Chinese culture?

Y/BF/N: Oh I know!!!!!

Y/N: What? Just say it.

Y/BF/N: Make traditional clothes.

Y/N: I have no idea the sizing.

Y/BF/N: Damn. Well you got to think of something.

Y/N: I'm trying. I just- ... WAIT! I know. Whittling

Y/BF/N: Whittle what now?

Y/N: Its like wood carving and its popular in Chinese culture.

Y/BF/N: Sounds cool. What are you going to make?

Y/N: I don't know quiet yet.

Y/BF/N: Well make sure it includes both families.

Y/N: I'm going to go Y/BF/N. I need to figure all this shit out.

Y/BF/N: All right bye!

Y/N: Bye bestie!

Darren: Hey-

Y/N: Can you ask your parents if it okay to invite my parents too.

Darren: Sure I-

Y/N: Cool. I'm in line right now so call me back when you get an answer.

Darren: Wai-

Y/N: Hello.

Darren: They said yes.

Y/N: Good see you Friday!

Darren: Don't-

: Pick up the phone.

[ Y/N] : See you Friday!

: Does that mean you don't want to talk to me until then?

[Y/N]: SEE YOU FRIDAY!!!!!

: PICK UP THE PHONE!!!!!

: What's the address?

: You haven't messaged me all week and I can't even get a "hey", first.

: Hey. What's the address?

: So no emoji's?

: 😐🖕

: Pic?

: SEND THE FUCKING ADDRESS!!!😡😡😡

: FINE! MEANY! 3970 Dean Street.

: See you tomorrow.

Y/N: Before we go inside I want you to be on your best behavior. Don't ask anything too personal or disrespectful.

Y/N's Mother: Honey we will.

Y/N: I mean it. Darren means the world to me so please be nice. His parents are here too so... just don't do anything that would upset them ok.

Y/N's Dad: Look Y/N. I know that sometimes we don't exactly make things easy for you but we love you and we will not do anything to embarrass you. We haven't met Darren yet and we know you are reluctant for us to meet, but if he makes you happy. We're happy.

Y/N: Thank you. Now lets go their waiting for us.

(What you wore)

Y/N: Darren, this is my mom, Y/M/N...and this is my dad, Y/D/N. Mom...Dad... this is Darren.

Darren: Nice to meet you both. I'm glad I finally got to meet you. It's hot outside, come on in.

Darren: Do you need help?

Y/N: No...I'm fine.

Darren: You never like to ask for help.

Darren: What's in here anyway?

Y/N: Its a gift for your family.

Darren: Come on! Let me introduce you to everyone.

Darren: Mom.

Darren's Mom: You're Y/N right?

Y/N: Yes Ma'am.

Darren's Mom: You know he talks about you all the time. I've been wanting to see you for a long time.

Darren: I showed you a picture.

Darren's Mom: Yeah but she is prettier in person.

Y/N: Thank you.

Darren's Mom: Oh by the way we have already met your parents.

Darren's Mom: Honey look. She's right here.

Darren's Dad: It's so great to see you welcome to the family.

Y/N: Thank you.

Darren's Dad: No thank you for taking care of my son.

Darren: Hey I take care of her too. I just helped her carry her stuff like a few minutes ago.

Y/N: Oh that reminds me. I brought a gift for your family.

Darren's Mom: Oh you really didn't have to.

Y/N: I really wanted to give a gift to your family. I actually made it and I would like you to accept it.

Y/N: I know that whittling is really popular in Chinese culture. So I carved a tree house to signify our two families growing into one home in the future. I really love your son and I hope that we can become one family.

Darren's Mom: I absolutely love this. Thank you so much.

Darren's Dad : We are glad to welcome you to our family Y/N.

Y/N's Dad: And we're glad to accept Darren as an extension of our family too.
