Meet The Parents
"Well, here we are. My parents have always been pretty cool, so let's hope it stays that
way," Zoey laughed.
"Oh, don't make me nervous!" Dawn clutched her girlfriend's hand tighter. "What if I say
something stupid, or they think I'm a psycho lesbian rapist who corrupted their daughter, or
they turn out to be giant people-eating Pokemon aliens?"
Zoey rolled her eyes.
"You watch too many bad movies, Dawn." She was nervous too, of course, but like always she
wasn't about to let Dawn see that. "Whatever happened to 'no need to worry'?"
"I've got a good reason to worry right now!"
They walked through the door of the large, opulent house and approached Zoey's parents, a
normal if not eccentric-looking woman and an intimidating man.
"Mom, Dad...I'd like you to meet Dawn," Zoey said hesitantly. "She's my girlfriend, and I
met her at a contest in Jubilife."
They sized Dawn up, and then Zoey's father gave his daughter a disapproving stare.
"You can't be serious."
"Dad, I know what you're-"
"You mean to tell me you're dating Johanna's daughter all this time and you never said a
word?!" He suddenly began to laugh, which somehow scared Dawn even more. "You crazy girl,
we're used to you leaving out important stuff, but this takes the cake!"
"For land's sakes, dear, you could have warned us you were bringing a celebrity to this
house!" her mother cried. "Really, Johanna's daughter. We're truly honored to meet you,
Dawn."
The two girls stared nervously at each other.
"So...it really doesn't bother you that I'm dating a girl?" Zoey asked.
"Well, it's something we'll need to adjust to, that's for sure," her father said. "But you
sure picked a good one to surprise us with!"
"I...I'm very pleased to meet you both," Dawn stammered. "But really, I...I'm sure I'm not a
cause for this kind of fuss, I'm nowhere near as good at contests as my mom is!"
"Nonsense! You won the Wallace Cup, dear, that's nothing to sneeze at!" Zoey's mother said.
"You two sit down, make yourselves comfortable while we get the extra futon for Zoey's
room!" She and her husband dashed off, leaving the couple to collapse onto the sofa, sighing
with both shock and relief.
