bang goes my heart

"Jojo?" Robert seemed to perk up. "You mean Joanne?"

Dave nodded at him again. "Yes."

"Such a sweet young woman back then" Robert stated

"I'm needed at the house. Later Uncle Robert." Jade grinned at him as she left. Dave waved to Robert before following her.

Robert smiled and waved before going back into his house as well.

Tavros watched quietly from his place in the grass.

Jade grabbed Dave's hand and led him back to her house.

"Uhhh, guys?" Tavros asked, though they probably couldn't hear him from the distance between the yards since he didn't yellg

Jade squeezed Dave's hand. "Ready to finally meet John face to face?"

"I don't know..."

Tavros sighed and his shoulders drooped when they ignored him.

Dave sat down with Tavros when they were back in the yard.

Jade ruffled his hair. "Don't be nervous. John likes you already."

Tavros instantly perked up, "Oh, I thought you guys forgot about me"

Jade smiled at him. "Nope. Just went to talk to Uncle Robert about dinner."

"Why? What's up?" Tavros asked

"We're all having dinner with the Strider's tonight and Uncle Robert is making dinner."

"Do i need to go home?" Tavros asked

Jade shook her head. "They planned on you having dinner with us."

"Oh, um, awesome" Tavros smiled

"You ready to go inside or do you want to stay out here?"

"Whatever you want to do" Tavros smiled "I don't mind"

"Why don't we go inside. You and Dave can play with Gala. Jake can come down and sit with you guys."

"Gala?" Tavros looked at the pig in her arms. "is that the piggy?"

Jade grinned and nodded at him. "Yep. She's Jake's new baby."

"She's, uh, super cute" Tavros hummed.

"She fell in love with Jake as soon as he picked her up." She handed the pig to Dave before holding her arms out to Tavros.

Tavros lifted his arms so she could lift him better.
