"Fan, Alanna och Erika! Långsammare! Jag har tillräckligt med engelska för att använda så många ord så fort! (Damn it, Alanna and Erika! Slower! I have enough with English so now you use so many words so fast!)"

Melker growled rubbing his head, tried with all his strength to understand the situation.

"Lyssna farfar ... Annes NEPF- (Listen grandfather ... Anne's NEPF-)"

"It's not that hard, you stupid old man!" Velio also growled, adding a spit to emphasize his insult. "Anne's NEPF has some kind of external radiation effect that has affected the people who are most with her, their mothers!"

"Skurk! For you it is easy to understand! I have to first mentally translate each word while the time I see my granddaughters much larger than before! And all because you, gammal skurk, you didnt show me the picture before they arrived! You've had an unfair advantage!" Rising with great effort from the edge of the sidewalk, Merkel walked to face Velio. "You have cheated! You have had inside information even though this was a duel of gentlemen!"

"Inside information? Duel of gentlemen? How is it going to be decorating the house of our granddaughters a duel if I am the one who has paid for everything?!-"

"Fördömd! That isnt fair! I dont have money in this country! Do you think I like to depend on you for everything!?"

"You should not like it! What you dont owe is important, we are family! As long as your native government doesnt pay you your pension, I give you the support ... but recognize that there is no duel! Also, even if there were, you would not have anything to do! I have ten thousand times better taste!"

"Taste? Taste to choose the most tacky and old fashioned! You have not read one of the interior decoration magazines that I bought!"

...

Meanwhile on stage B (Literally 10 feet away, in front of decontamination doors):

"I'm glad to see you girls in such good shape!" Ulyses hugged the two women, taking a moment to pamper the smiling baby. "Are you ready to see your new home?" None of the women said anything, grateful that Ulyses did not comment on their current sizes while glancing sideways at the two elderly men still arguing with no signs of stopping. "You should not worry about anything, none of theirs ideas has been approved without first going through me or my wife"

"Thank you, Ulyses ..." Alanna sighed in relief, following the assistant as he gave a signal to the guards to keep the elders in check. "And why all this assembly? Was it necessary to have security guards watching? Our neighbors must believe that we are richy rich new rich seeing all this ... "

"First. What? What kind of expression is that ... it does not matter. It may seem that this was an eccentricity of your grandfather, Alanna ... and in part it is ... but I'm not going to lie to you or try to cheat. All this coverage has been much more useful than it seems" The group stopped inside the entrance tunnel, some steam emitters releasing water vapor over the group.

"Really?" Erika, Alanna, Callen, Roland and Zara asked at the same time while Ulyses bowed his head, giving the group all the necessary information.

"You see, when you told us in January that Anne needed particularly high ceilings, we decided that instead of reforming a house to raise the roofs, it was easier and simpler to build a house from scratch, always trying to fulfill the necessary conditions" With a beep, the The door leading to the interior opened. Leaving in silence, the jaws of Alanna and Erika (and of all the others except Ulyses) were disengaged.

A simple two-story family home occupied the interior of the structure ... a house that reached to the edge of the canvas. "We havent choose a name for now ... but before you our gift to us, girls! 60 feet tall or 18.3 meters for Erika, divided into two floors with the roof of each at 30 feet tall! A structure designed to hold up to 150 tons on the second floor! A truly masterpiece of engineering and modern architecture, designed, built, tested all far from the indiscreet eye.

Not to brag, but it's a great job, dont you think?" Ulyses rubbed his nose, starting to walk as he pulled out a small electronic control from his pocket. "I present the MasterKey! These small touchscreen controls with fingerprint and voice recognition are the keys to the house! Allow me to show you" The group stopped in front of the gigantic double doors of the house (each measuring almost 27 feet high according to the number pointed on them), which in turn contained double doors of a more reasonable 10 feet in height.

"To facilitate the movement around the house of any kind of person, all the doors, both large and normal, of the house are connected to the MasterKeys. MasterKey, open main doors B, please"

"Yes Ulyses, opening main doors B" The command answered in a melodious French accent, opening the normal doors quickly.

"You really dont have to say anything, you can just point to any door for the interact button to become the Open/Close button" Ulyses explained as they ventured into the house, followed closely by a amazed Callen who didnt stop to take pictures of everything around him.

"Do you think ... that Anne will grow so much? ..." Erika asked even completely stunned, the second time all day. Each place where the couple looked looked larger than the previous one, neither of the two women being able to imagine Anne being able to use anything naturally.

"Better to safe than sorry... I think ..." Alanna muttered under her breath, beginning to enter the house pushed by her parents.

The interior of the house was similar to the typical house of the suburbs, with the stairs to the upper floor directly opposite the entrance and the dining room and kitchen on each side of the house. Erika and Alanna carefully studied the surroundings, seeing as there was no door dividing the rooms directly.

Starting to walk around the house, the couple found that the living room was located to the left of the entrance, connected openly with a super spacious dining room behind the stairs and this in turn connected to the kitchen with an island countertop as divider; all perfectly furnished with two pairs of each piece of furniture: One as big as the house and another one of normal size near the big one.

"The biggest challenge of this house was to organize the family spaces so that both sides had their needs covered," Ulyses began explaining going up the ladder that led directly to the giant sofa. "To be able to overcome it easily, Mr. Melker suggested that the easiest thing was to duplicate all the furniture in the house, connecting all the giant furniture with stairs and elevators like this so that everyone could use them at will"

"You all have to climb here! God, it's like being in Alice in Wonderland!" Callen shouted from above the couch already, so excited that Alanna and Erika started thinking about eavesdropping so they could later throw him to his own home. The family decided not to waste time, gathering everything in the huge sofa. To the surprise of Alanna and Erika, one of the sofa cushions had a normal-sized family sofa sewn on top.

"If at some point Anne wants to lie down completely on the sofa, the cushion has its hole underneath to store the normal furniture ... and so with everything. The countertop, stove and the like and even the normal kitchen table are built on one of the giant countertops, the family dining table has one of the sides designed to be a normal family table; bathrooms exactly the same ... It has been difficult to find the easiest way to place both worlds at once, but we are quite proud of the result. MasterKey, turn on the television in the living room"

"Turning on the television, Ulyses" The screen taped to the opposite wall, more similar to that of a movie theater than a television one, was turned on in a news channel, the sound of it wrapping the family completely.

"As you can see, Velio has made sure to buy all the latest generation electronic devices, adapting them in turn to the size needs of Anne. In this case, the best television on the market has been connected to the largest and most advanced digital cinema screen on the market and to the most immersive and powerful sound system that currently exists ... the result is very rewarding, dont you think?"

"How much has it cost?" Erika and Alanna said at once, their faces completely white.

"Less than 15 percent of the fortune that your grandfather has accumulated over the years, although do not believe that I will give you more specific data than this .Girls, in the verbal contract you signed that you will not ask-"

"HOW MUCH HAS THIS HOUSE COST?!" On the verge of crying, the couple threw themselves on the cushion floor on their knees, clinging to Ulyses' shirt. "How do you think we can live here with so many luxuries without knowing how much it has cost our family?!"

The couple burst into tears between suffering and emotion, while Ulyses caressed their heads. As Melker had suggested weeks ago, Erika's lack of monetary confidence would eventually lead to an overwhelming emotional overload accompanied by crying, to which Alanna would join almost certainly.

After comforting the girls for three long minutes, the family followed the tour of the oversized housing. As Ulyses had explained, the whole house was adapted so that no matter what size you were, no part of the house was out of reach. After a long lap of almost 10 minutes watching and getting on, the family came back to the entrance. "And now is the key moment! The upper floor! The jewel in the crown of the house! If you notice me very excited, it is because this is where I have put my best efforts" Ulyses pressed the MasterKey pointing at the wall of the stairs, opening and revealing an elevator with a single wall and surrounded by a security fence that looked more like a forklift by the huge dimensions, with several seats similar to those of a car placed next to the wall. (To the point that everyone had their own seat belt) 

"Our bet for Anne height and the lack of land for sale to expand the house horizontally required making the house have a second floor, and that would make the steps too big to be uploaded by normal people comfortably. At first we were hesitant to build an elevator instead of stairs ... but seeing the amount of machinery we would need to lift the maximum weight for a 25-feet Anne we realized that the most effective idea was simply adding this forklift to climb comfortably up top effortlessly" Ulyses opened the elevator door to the others, letting them sit while he leaned against the security fence.

"We told you that maybe Anne would reach 10 feet, not 25" Alanna sighed as she buckled her belt, finding that the floor of the forklift had holes to fit the wheels of the carriage safely. Pressing a button on one of the corners, the forklift began to climb not too quickly or too slowly the huge stairs, giving the group time to rest from the visit and regain strength drinking from the bottle of water that Erika and Alanna kept in the cart.

"At first we followed that idea, but after seeing how quickly Anne was growing up for March we decided to investigate a little and ask for approximate measurements to General Black's team. As they gave us a height of between 8 feet and 25 feet- "Erika and Alanna nervously spat out the water that Roland had just returned. "They had not told you?"

Erika and Alanna remained silent, looking at both of them at the baby who looked back at them while still smiling. "We didnt plan to get approximate measurements... but I'm glad you did. I cant even imagine our little loving and squishy sunshinebeing able to use this house mastodon comfortably. "Alanna sighed again, this time being a hopeful and relieved sigh. If Anne had to live at that level, both mothers gave thanks to heaven for being able to grow a little more to help her.

"Sunshine, that nickname is new," Erika commented as she took Anne into her arms to give her a drink of her bottle of water. "I like ... little sunshine! I like it very much!"

"I regret having spoiled the surprise ..." The forklift reached the center of the upper floor, from where 4 aisles separated forming a cross. "But look at the good side! Having things ready for the worst possible scenario will save us headaches! Well, now let me introduce you to the upper floor.

As you can see, we decided that the easiest way to divide the space was a cross plan, with two giant rooms plus two normal rooms in each direction" Ulyses activated the floor lights with the MasterKey, automatically opening the windows and the blinds so that the air ran through the floor. As the assistant had said, each hall had 4 doors, with the sizes interspersed. "As we knew that you always talk about having more children, Velio has insisted that you have rooms to spare; and how at the same time the giant rooms arent going to have much use for now ..."

The group began to walk to one of them, Ulyses activating the door. "All sliding doors, easier to open and close at a distance and with the enormous weight of each" The huge room caused even a little fear on the family, looking even bigger than it should be all painted white and not having furniture beyond a huge single bed under the window, a cupboard in the left wall and another two sliding doors in the right wall, one giant and one normal. "As we dont know what tastes Anne will have or the rest of your children, we have decided to only build a first bed and wardrobe and leave the rest of the decoration for the future. As you can see, each pair of giant rooms are connected to each other by a fully equipped double bathroom ... since to build basic furniture like the shower or the toilet, you dont have to wait and see how they like them"

"Very good decision, Ulysses!" Callen congratulated the attendant with a pat on the shoulder, taking the lead and opening the normal door. (To each sample more of interest on the part of Callen harder it was made to the marriage to think about how to avoid that it is coupled of by life with them)

Behind the small door was a fully equipped bedroom that had little to envy the royal room of a luxury hotel. Cabinets, double bed, shelves, furniture, your own normal bathroom and even an acceptably wide table with your four chairs in one corner. "When we took the measures to install a bathtub in each bathroom, we found that there was still too much space, since a bathroom doesnt need to be as large as a bedroom! My wife had the great idea to take advantage of that space left over to build these guest rooms and connect them among the giants in the bathroom space that we had left over instead of filling the entire wall ... and if you allow me to say it, we have left the idea impeccable...

Oh god, today I'm showing off a lot. I apologize, family ... This house is in the top 5 of the things that I'm most proud of and I cant help it"

"Relax Ulyses! As a member of this family you have every right to want to show off! And now if you'll excuse the question ... How many rooms like this are we talking about?" Zara asked with something more than curiosity in her eyes, at least a little more disguised than Callen, who was already lying on the bed.

"2 giant bedrooms, a giant bathroom, two guest bedrooms and two normal bathrooms per hall except the main one, where Anne's future bedroom and Erika and Alanna's bedroom are, plus a couple of reserved surprises-"

"So 6 guest bedrooms ..." Zara nodded to no one in particular with a look that was already terrifying her daughter. Before her family continued to make plans in someone else's house, Alanna took Ulyses' hand and forced her out of the room, choosing between entreaties to take them to her own room at once. Seeing the interior of the guest room where Zara had joined her nephew in bed, Ulyses agreed to see the risk involved in the guest rooms.

"I hope you like it, We have put all our effort into this ..." Ulyses led the couple to the door of what would be their bedroom from now on. Engraved in wood, a sign with their names and two intertwined hearts crowned the door.

Taking a deep breath, Erika opened the door for both of them. The only valid way to describe the room was to compare it with an extended version and with a real king-size bed in his current apartment, only with a staircase to an upper floor. "We know how much you excited your first home ... so we wanted-" Ulyses could not say anything else, the air missing from his lungs while Erika and Alanna hugged him with all their strength and tears in his eyes. "Girls, girls ... I'm going to let you discover your room alone, okay? I worry about your parents and Callen ..."

Leaving a MasterKey to each, Ulyses closed the door behind him. The first thing both women did was stare at the ceiling. "Three meters with something?" Erika asked as she pulled Anne out of the cart, pacing the room until she came to a huge cradle by the bed. "You like my life? Do you like your new bed?"

While Erika was trying to knock Anne down in her new crib, Alanna was inspecting the shelves and cabinets, identical in design to those in the apartment but completely new. "I'm sorry that the grandfather is going to ask us to remake some of these things ... it's the furniture as we like it ... I still cant believe all this"

"We are the proud owners of a 19-meter-tall typical house of the American suburbs, darling." When Anne saw that she was sleeping in the crib with sleep and therefore resisted with all her strength, Erika decided to take her in her arms and continue exploring the room, noticing Attentively on the stairs that led to a second floor. "The other rooms dont have this ... do you mind if I go up and see, my love?"

"Go ahead!" Alanna shouted as she entered the closet, too much like the one in her grandfather's mansion. "I see you havent been able to resist, eh grandfather? As Grandma liked them ..." Alanna smiled as she sat down in front of the dresser, opening the drawers and finding a silver comb attached to a letter.

Consider this house as a last gift from both Sophia, Maj and Anne.

I am sure that they would love to know that their new great-granddaughter and granddaughter respectively will smile without worry wrapped up by two great mothers like you and Erika. This comb belonged to Anne (the mother of Erika) according to Melker, given by his wife for the wedding of her and Ravel.

Apparently she wore it at her wedding ... although we havent managed to find any picture where it is clearly seen.

Save it for when Anne and her brothers and/or sisters are older, tell them that it is a memory of those who couldnt be there to meet them.

P.S: If you are Erika who is reading, try to pretend that you have not seen it, Melker has written you a letter like this with a gift from my wife for you.

"Grandpa ...-" Of course, there was no time to cry and get sensitive with her family so close.

"OH MY GOD! YES  "Erika cried out in delight, forcing Alanna to run up the stairs. The second floor of his bedroom was divided into another corridor, with two doors on one side and an open door on the other. Following the applause of his wife, Alanna entered what from that moment would be his worst nightmare. "My love! Look!" Alanna remained silent, picking up Anne in the arms of the mats on which the baby was playing. Weights, torture machines gymnastics and everything a gym that takes pride in its name could ask for.

"Oh no ..." Alanna began to sweat a cold sweat to see how Erika easily lifted the dumbbell with double weights of 20 kilos.

"Now you cant refuse! There is no one who can make you embarrassed!" Erika shouted excitedly, kicking the air as if a girl with a new toy was about.

"I want the divorce" Alanna said trying to put the most monotonous voice and it would be possible.

"Nope and never! Remember? "Erika raised the hand that was wearing her wedding ring, now well above the desirable for simple logistics. The fingers of both women were beginning to be too big for the rings with which they were promised ... and the other rings of different events. "Until death do us paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart!" 

"... One hour a week, take it or leave it"

"For now" Erika jumped up, running and lifting her wife and daughter up. Turning and laughing with emotion, Erika flopped down on the mats while filling her family with kisses.

"Enough! We still have more things to do!" Alanna tried to break free, making sure to put as little effort as possible so that happiness would never stop. Almost 20 minutes later watching and thinking about where and how to keep all their things, a huge noise similar to a bell first and then a crane made the mothers startled.

"What's going on?! You cant take this house away from us now! I love everything in this house!" Erika shouted out into the hall, followed by her wife and daughter. A lot of natural light (or as natural as the one generated by the dome could be) entered through the giant windows, a crane arm starting to remove the tarps and scaffolding.

"If you've hurried, grandpa..." Alanna sighed, staring at the wall under the window, specifically in a flickering light. "Wait here for a moment, my love" Delivering Anne to Erika, Alanna gave a little sprint to check what it was.

Under the window was a kind of frame like an elevator, with a light blinking on the frame. "Ummm ..." Alanna probed the MasterKey, pointing directly at the frame and activating it .And as Alanna expected, the interior was a wide elevator. "Eri! Come, we have two elevators!" Erika joined her wife quickly, entering both the elevator and discovering that there were only two buttons: Entrance and first floor. "To think that they have been so attentive as to put a second elevator near our room ... now I feel terrible for how little I trusted them" Alanna sighed leaning against the wall, letting Erika wrap her in one of her beloved kabe-don.

"You will be happy, will not you? Even the elevator is wide and tall!" Erika nodded stooping to kiss the neck of her wife, all before the watchful eye of Anne who was already used to witnessing signs of affection between their mothers. (Several months ago, whenever Erika or Alanna tried to kiss each other, Anne would always jump screaming and crying, something that no matter how much their mothers tried, they couldnt understand).

"It's an amazing house, even if it's something too big ... I dont think, or I dont want to think on my little Anne being that tall"

"Let's enjoy that Grandpa has been able to build something like that for his great-granddaughter, my love. Let's give Anne the home that deserves our little ray of sunshine"

"You dont have to tell me twice ... but it's going to be difficult to make such a gigantic house feel familiar enough!" Alanna grabbed her wife by the neck, pulling her down so she could kiss her this time on the lips.

"A house where we are three is already a family home for me, you know?"

"To…-"

The elevator whistled twice before opening the doors, Erika and Alanna discovering that they were in one of the corner of the door. "Goodness! I thought I was going to have to go up for you!" Ulyses walked towards marriage, activating the MasterKey again. "This is the doorbell of the house, we have placed it next to the mailbox for greater comfort. And I see that you have discovered the elevator B, it ended up becoming a necessity after two hours taking furniture up the main lift ... and now I'm glad to have chosen an elevator with the ceiling so high to carry all the boxes, but Erika would be in trouble!"

"We cant thank you enough in a million years, guys ..." Alanna approached the assistant, hugging him again. "I'm sorry to repeat myself so much ... but thank you ..."

Without saying anything Ulyses returned the hug to her almost granddaughter, leaving the minute that Velio had given him to pass in silence. "Let's not waste time, your grandfather wants to take us to dinner at a good restaurant to celebrate your new home"

"What?! But we dont have anything fancy!" Alanna yelled nervously, pointing at her and Erika without stopping. "We only have simple chandals and dresses for people of extra-large size!"

Erika grabbed her wife's hand, kissing the back affectionately. "And has that ever been a problem for us?"

"Of course not ... Ulyses, how long will the crane operator take? Because ... there is an operator, right? None of the grandparents is driving that crane, right? DONT?!"

"Alanna! Who do you take me for?" Ulyses took off from Alanna, turning her back on them and acting offended. "Do you really think I would leave Melker or Velio a crane?! They are already an age! They can stay in top form, but their motor reflexes begin to suffer-"

"Ulyses" Callen opened the small front door, peeping out slightly while from the other side cries and complaints began to be heard that did not help those inside to calm down. "There are a lot of neighbors complaining to Grandpa and Mr. Melker ... and they are answering them"

"Not five minutes! I swear to God that we had finished this work much earlier if I didnt have to take care of these two!" Ulyses shouted, preparing to leave, turning to ask the couple for a few minutes. "I'm so sorry girls, give me ... girls?"

Erika and Alanna were already out, running away with such haste that they had left Anne's carriage ... and Anne inside with the assistant.....

"You take us hiding a house?!"

"That crane is going to damage the asphalt!"

"You have no right to make such a fuss! I'll call the police!"

"You cant leave the scaffolding on the road!"

"We have all the city council permits in order!" Velio shouted as Melker waved the papers, letting all the neighbors see them.

"It will not be long! They return to their homes!" Melker shouted trying to put some order, meeting with the still insistence of the neighbors. "That all this is legal! Stop complaining and get close! You can see it right here!-"

The neighbors continued to scream until a huge shadow was projected over Melker. Before anyone could say or do anything, Erika and Alanna threw themselves to the ground on their knees. "Please forgive them! They are very old gentlemen and with too much free time!" The couple begged their new neighbors while their respective grandparents were rebuking them.

Feeling the discomfort of having two strangers begging on their knees, the neighbors looked at each other before two of them took the lead by offering their hands to the women. "Neither do you need to ask for forgiveness like this ..."

"It's totally our fault! We are very sorry!" Alanna and Erika spoke perfectly synchronized as the marriage had already been rehearsing a long time ago. "We trusted that our grandparents could take care of building our house without causing problems to the neighbors and evidently it hasnt been like that!"

"They have not been so terrible either ..."

"Sometimes a little more noise than desirable but nothing unsustainable ..."

The neighbors began to cut to the gravity of the situation, moved by shame to make two women made and right (two extremely large women) were kneeling in that way. While neighbors continued to dismiss matters, a man's voice caught the attention of the entire group.

"I'm sorry for being late! The city council has confirmed that they have the permits for the crane-"

"Gene- William?" Alanna and Erika asked at once, looking up as the neighbors pulled away. William and the marriage exchange looks for a few seconds, Erika mentally swearing to have seen how William's face lit up slightly.

"Girls? You are the owners of the work ... But what the hell?" William finally complained that the work was finally uncovered after many months, under the canvas was the largest house that the general had ever seen. (And not for being a mansion, if not for the dimensions)

"It was a house? ..."

Helping to rise between them, Erika and Alanna stretched their backs briefly before bowing again in an apologetic gesture. "I´m sorry for the problems our grandparents have caused, General Black. As you will know Anne's condition requires that we have a house with the highest ceilings ... but our grandparents have taken the phrase higher ceilings to ... this "

"Did you two have all this rehearsed in advance? Because if it hasnt been impressive that you have coincided even in the breaks"

"We have been rehearsing since we asked for the favor in January ..." Erika explained in a low voice dead of shame, dissipating is quickly to hear how the neighbors began to laugh.

"If it's for your daughter, everything is fine, right?"

"It has been a few noisy months but for a good cause, park it there"

"It hasnt been worse than when the Walkers were installing the heating system so noisy!"

"That isnt fair, ours was as necessary as that huge house! Naseera needs an extremely advanced and sensitive heating system. Unlike your Estela, Naseera has been born with the whole NEPF pack"

"What do you mean, Logan, are you implying that our daughter is not as NEPF like yours? Are you trying to compete with that?"

"That hasnt gone down, Logan ... not at all, as you can tell Nathan is working"

"I agree with that, darling. Wanting to compete- "

"I havent tried to compete at any time! You have completely misinterpreted the intention of my sentence, friends. I just wanted to compare the installations of our heating with the works that we have lived these months ago with the construction works of Alanna-"

"Calm down, calm down please!" William tried to reassure the neighbors before they argued again. "I'm glad to know you're going to live here, girls. The entire Azure section of Sandy Sands is made up of families affected by the NEPF and knowing that we are going to live in the same street makes me very happy. Let me introduce you to the others"

William gestured to the couple to get straight, turning to the neighbors. "Guys, these are Alanna and Erika Barlow Holm. Your daughter Anne ... and where is Anne?" As if it were a great revelation, the couple looked at each other almost on the verge of a nervous breakdown, preparing to run back towards the house when Ulyses left the cart with Anne among them. Clearing the voice in the most accusatory way possible, the assistant took the two grandparents by the arm, dragging them to the garden where the crane had already removed the scaffolding from the front facade.

"Well, as I was saying-" William continued with his presentation, letting the neighbors come to see the baby playing and biting even without tooth one of the stuffed animals attached to the carriage. "These are Alanna and Erika Barlow Holm, Alanna is the short of both although short is a relative term. The proud mothers of Anne Barlow Holm, the first affected by the NEPF and the only carrier for now of the strain "Giant" as the director Addams likes to call her. Erika, Alanna, let me introduce you to the neighborhood ... clockwise? Yes, it will be easier ... Well, those to the right of your house"

"Wait" Erika raised her hands, looking at the houses on both sides. "Clock hands from our house or from the entrance to the street?"

William blinked a few seconds, staring at the huge mother. "Clock hands from the entrance of the street, understanding your home as twelve o'clock" Erika nodded allowing William to clear his voice and start presenting. "Well, to the right of your house is the Gray family: Matthew, Jaycee and their daughters, Lea and Sammy, the one affected by the NEPF." William gestured to a middle-aged man and woman, both dark and complex. achieved working outdoors for many years.

"A pleasure to meet you, girls" The marriage took a step forward, offering the hands to Alanna and Erika. "I work as an advisor and advisor for the special needs of the Neohumans, so even though I see how you have built your house in style..." Matthew choked back, making Erika and Alanna flashbacks of Dexter Fang. "Feel free to ask for help without problems! I specialize in meeting special textile needs for children like our Sammy"

"Sammy is our little daughter" Jaycee explained looking for a picture on her phone and showing it to women. "It's a little bird, with wings and claws! Handshake and director Addams have christened our species as body type NEPF: Harpy"

"Well ..." William took a step forward, discreetly trying to continue the round of introductions. "The following are Long Hai and Isabella Hai, the parents of one of the few Neohumanos Mouse-"

"General, allow me" While his wife was tall and with a clear Hispanic descent; Long Hai clearly had Asian descent and a body worked on the same level as William. "Lieutenant Long Hai, served under Colonel Black at that time in Afghanistan during the beginning of the campaign. I am currently in charge of internal operations and contact with the local police here at Night Hold ... and in turn I am sorry to ask you directly-"

"For the love of god, Longi!" Isabella growled grabbing her husband by the shoulders, shaking him a little.

"Isabella, maybe even the universe has tried to continue attacking me and my family with racism, but we live in 2019. If there is any time to clarify this it is now" Long sighed before looking directly at Alanna and Erika again. "I know my son may have rodent traits ... but I will not accept any joke or racist comment with it. Maybe-"

Isabella stood behind her husband, covering her mouth with both hands. "Enough, Longi! Please girls dont take him seriously, my little mouse loves his nickname and we dont have no problem with it ... Excuse us but I must speak this with my husband seriously" Isabella said goodbye with a small bow, dragging him back to his house.

"Excuse my man, girls." William sighed as the Hai entered his house. "Since I know him there is nothing that obsesses more to that man than to avoid a racism that sometimes there isnt ... leaving that aside, the following are the family daCruz, Diogo and Paola"

"And before you ask, we are both Brazilians by birth! We have been in this country for 15 years since our first child, Vitor, was born" Paola explained without letting go of her husband's arm, holding on to him as if her life depended on it. For two people who loved each other as much as Alanna and Erika and couldnt bear to be apart, the closeness in public of Paola and Diogo was almost cloying.

"As my little melon was saying, Vitor is our oldest son with fifteen years old, then there is Cassio with 3 and finally our Estela! She doesnt seem to have picked up any extra parts, but she is a powerful NEPF world-class girl like Ariah! General, we consider ourselves presented; can follow" Diogo and Paola made a gesture of Yes sir too exaggerated, throwing back without letting go for a second.

"I like it, good rhythm! The next ones in order are the Walkers, Logan and his-"

"They have already mentioned us before and Alanna already knows me, so let me introduce ourselves properly, William." The tall man took a step forward, so tall that it almost rivaled Erika. And Erika just stared at her wife, mentally asking her who was so handsome and well-liked gentleman. Alanna shrugged without knowing what to say, only with a slight memory of knowing him. "As you already know-" Alanna nodded praying because it seemed like she knew. "But I doubt you talked to your wife about me, I'm Logan Walker-"

"History professor Logan the long!" Alanna yelled hitting her right fist with her left palm. (Gesture that left Logan with his mouth open and his eyebrow raised)

"You had not ... recognized me? We had been in the same school group for years ..." Logan sighed softly, muttering words that would ruin his image said loudly. "My husband is named Nathan and my daughter Naseera. The reason they arent here is because my daughter was napping, something that is quite complicated these last days since the summer weather, and your crane has awakened her" Logan put special emphasis on the last sentence, trying to enjoy to see Alanna and Erika rubbing their necks with a feeling of guilt printed on their faces. "I hope we get along, new neighbors"

And without saying anything else, Logan turned around walking towards his house with the feeling of having won the match. "will we have offended him?" Erika asked softly, while Alanna shrugged again.

William sighed, grabbing both women by the shoulder, comforting as he could. "I would say you apologize to Logan ... but whatever. The next house is mine and my girls already know them. Then there are the Walls, but I dont see either Elliot or Bev around here ... so I guess we'll move on-"

"Byron-"

"And Kalea Howee!" Husband and wife introduced themselves to each other, with enough timing to have it ready (Something that Alanna and Erika couldnt put any complaint or comment). "I'm glad to have you in our street, neighbors. Our son also has a reptilian side like Logan's little one, but unlike her, our Reed has legs!" Byron explained while Kalea showed the couple a picture of a baby with reptile eyes and semi-scaly skin held by a girl of 6 years. "And those who live next to us are the cousins r03;r03;of the Wall, Finn and Veerle!"

"No need to introduce us, Byron" A bald, muscular man with a look of dangerous that Alanna couldnt believe that it was possible way to her wife, throwing her on a hug. "Trainer, the gym is too quiet without you"

"Finn, Veerle!" Erika smiled hugging the man, while the one Alanna hoped was his wife also approached Erika, hugging her. "I see that during your holidays you have also left free yourself a little ..." Erika whispered between laughs, making the afroa-merican woman hug her.

"I wish I could hurt you, coach ... but I dont see how" Erika slapped him on the back before grabbing them by the shoulders, turning to her wife. "Alanna, Finn and Veerle Pearson, members of my anaerobic exercise classes and my resistance training group!"

Knowing better the bond of Erika with the couple, Alanna sighed more calm offering the hand to the students of Erika. "A pleasure to meet you"

"Likewise, dynamite girl" Finn and Veerle whispered as Erika gritted her teeth furiously, a gesture too sweet for Alanna to resist.

"You'll tell me when and why you used that nick, my love ..." Alanna smiled as she turned to the last couple present, with very European features. (wishing finally to finish the presentations). "Nice to meet you, neighbors!"

"Vasnev Semyon" The man took Alanna's hand with both hands in a polite squeeze accompanied by an evidently Russian accent. (For what to call them European traits was one of the worst options that Alanna could think of)

"And I'm Emskaya Semyon, Alanna." The woman took the hand that her husband just released in a polite but softer grip than her husband's. "To celebrate that you have joined our small street and community, what would you think of holding a small barbecue tonight? My husband here is the owner of a butcher shop, so we invite us"

"Eh?" Alanna was speechless, the option of a dinner with her new neighbors was too interesting to begin to forge a relationship of friendship with them ... but at the same time her grandfather had already decided to invite them to dinner. Alanna looked back, watching as her whole family frantically nodded in an attempt to throw them into the fire that their new neighbors meant. "It's okay! We accept your offer!"
