Dinner with the Family (Read 4,550 times)

This story occurs in 2009, when Tony was alive, he and Anna were still in Salem, Brady was a nice guy, Mia was still in Salem and was nice, and Chad was still relatively new to the teen scene. However, in this story, Will and Mia are dating, as are Brady and Melanie.

KIRIAKIS MANSION
HENDERSON: Is there anything I can get for the two of you?
BRADY: No thank you, Henderson. However, I was wondering if either Grandfather or Philip are home this evening?
HENDERSON: No, Mr. Kiriakis and Master Philip are away in Greece on business. They won't be expected back until the end of next week.
BRADY: Thank you, Henderson. That will be all.
So, Henderson left Brady and Melanie to thier evening together.
MELANIE: Are you sure this is all right?
BRADY: Mel, it's fine. You heard what Henderson said. Philip and my grandfather aren't going to be home until next Friday. I'm sure they won't mind us staying in the mansion for a night or two. Besides, it's not like they're even going to know about it. The only person that's here this late is Henderson, and he's very good at keeping secrets. Everything will be fine.
MELANIE: All right. If you say so.

DiMERA MANSION
Meanwhile, the DiMera Mansion was also having some special guests over for dinner. There was a kncok on the door, E.J. opened it to find Tony and Anna.
E.J.: Well, I was wondering when you would turn up.
TONY: Yes, well, it wasn't exactly hard finding the place.
E.J.: Please, come in.
The two of them came in. Rolf took thier coats. After some awkward small-talk, most of it involved very short and curt answers from Tony, Anna went upstairs to use a bathroom. Nicole was sitting in one of the chairs with Sydney in her arms.
E.J.: You're looking pretty good, Tony. You gave us quite a scare there.
TONY: Yes, well, as you can see, my dear brother, I'm alive and very well.
E.J.: What exactly is your game, Tony?
TONY: Game? What game?
E.J.: The reason you're looking so sulky and being so short with me. I am trying to be genuinely nice, you know.
TONY: Yes, I am aware of that. It's just...I have nothing against you, dear brother, but as I'm sure you know, I'm not the biggest fan of this mansion. Especially after all the hell that Stefano put me through.
E.J.: Yes, I understand what you mean...
TONY: However, that is no excuse for my behavior. And I apologize for taking it out on you.
E.J.: Quite all right. If I were put in a similar situation, I would be angry, too.
ROLF: Excuse me, Elvis, but I need you to come take a look at something in the basement for me.
E.J.: Certainly, Rolf. (to Tony) Please, make yourself comfortable.
E.J. and Rolf went down into the basement.
E.J.: Is he ready yet Rolf?
ROLF: Not quite yet, Elvis. Just a little while longer.
E.J.: Well, he needs to be ready by tonight. I've been waiting to show Tony this ever since he got out of his coma.
ROLF: Trust me, Elvis, he will be ready to see Antony in a little while. In fact, I should say just one more hour and he shall be ready.
E.J.: Good. And when he is revealed to Tony, it wil certainly be a suprise.
We see a man, but his face is blocked from view by bandages. Elvis puts his hand on the man's shoulder...

OOPS! I meant to say Brady and Melanie! My mistake. I think I'd better go fix that before it gets me into trouble.

Next Week on "Days of Our Lives..."

LUCAS: Mom, be nice.
KATE: I'm always nice...

VICTOR: Those morons have cancelled our flight!

TONY: Anna, we need to get out of here!

CHAD: Where's the baby?

WILL: You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.
MIA: I think you're the only one I can talk to about this...

Ohhh Boy Ohhh Boy. I am getting to read Dinner with the family agian. I just loved that story. Thanks Andre.

Chapter 2

DiMERA MANSION
E.J.: So, it will be soon, then?
ROLF: Yes, Elvis. Very soon. Very, very soon. The patient just needs a little more time.
E.J.: Right. I should have thought so. Especially after that disasterous fire. I'm surprised he's still alive.
ROLF: Well, he has made a miraculous recovery. And, trust me, when I pull the bandages off, he will look better than ever.
E.J.: Good.
E.J. patted the shoulder of the man in the mask, and knelt in front of him.
E.J.: I'll be back in a little while. I must go see how our guests are doing. I know you'll be pleased to see them. I'm just not too sure how pleased Tony will be to see you. Ah, well. It doesn't matter. All that matters is that Rolf was able to put everything right once again.
E.J. got up and went back upstairs.

LUCAS' APARTMENT
Meanwhile, at the apartment, Lucas was busily preparing dinner. Kate was helping as well. Well, not helping so much as standing around talking.
LUCAS: Now, mom, Will and Mia will be here any minute now, and I want you to at least try to be nice to Mia before you decide you hate her.
KATE: Lucas, I am always nice. When have I ever not been nice to any of the girls you've brought home?
LUCAS: Would you like a list. Let's see, there's Sami, Chloe, Nicole...
KATE: Well, I'm sorry, but none of those girls were right for you. If yu had married any of them, you would have been ruining your life. Especially if you had married that awful witch, Sami.
LUCAS: See, there you go again! It's always the same. Whenever I bring up any of the girls I've dated, you always tell me about how horrible they are.
KATE: I'm just stating the truth, Lucas.
LUCAS: Well, you'd better not be like that with Will and Mia. Mia is very special to Will, and I want things to work out for them.
KATE: Honey, I swear, I will be as nice as I can possibly be.
Lucas said nothing. He went on cooking, wondering how soon it would be before his mother broke that promise, again.

WOODED AREA
In the meantime, Will and Mia were walking to the apartments. Will was warning Mia about Kate.
WILL: Look, don't get me wrong, Grandma Kate can be nice if she wants to be, but she and my Dad don't see eye-to-eye on a lot of things.
MIA: So...do you think she'll like me?
WILL: Of course she will. Why wouldn't she?
MIA: Maybe because of the whole thing with the baby.
WILL: Mia, honey, she's gonna love you. Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
Mia and Will kissed.

DiMERA MANSION
A little while later, the whole family was sat down eating. There had been some occasional small-talk, mostly from E.J. talking about the goings-on at DiMera Enterprises and both Tony and Anna talking about thier respective companies. After that, there was a long silence. Finally, Tony was the one to break it.
TONY: So, Elvis, when we first got here, you said you had something to show us.
E.J.: Yes, I did. And I still do.
TONY: Well, what is it, then?
E.J.: You'll see, Tony. When it's the right time...you'll see...

Eek! I cannot wait for more. This story is off to a great start and definitley has me intrigued!!
