"Smile!" My wife asked to our daughter and her date, who smiled at the flash of the camera.

"That's enough, Mom..."

"But, I don't have enough pictures of you and your date, honey!" Both Cindy and her date blushed, making me chuckle a little. This guys was so shy I guess she was the one asking him to prom. That would be so Cindy... "Maybe, one more on the porch-"

"Honey, that's alright..." I stopped her, earning a few sighs in relief behind me "I'm sure they want to make a quick detour to Cameron's house before prom, right?" I suggested, trying to keep my wife from snapping another picture. Cameron's face turned into a firetruck and shook his head.

"N-no, sir..." he replied, nervous "M-my mother didn't want to take pictures of it..." I couldn't say anything else before my wife stepped in again.

"With more reason to take more pictures!" she squeaked and began taking pictures in all positions and places. I'm sure by now Cindy and Cameron are both frustrated. Luckily, the clock saved them.

"Look at the time!" I pointed out, grabbing the camera from my wife "Have a great time you two, Cameron please, look out for my little girl-"

"Dad, I'm seventeen now!"

"You can count on it, sir" Both replies came together and I chuckled, letting them out the house with two final warnings.

"Don't drink if you drive and I want you home by two, Cindy!" I shouted at them, while they climbed into the car. Cameron even opened the door to Cindy and stuff. I smirked, watching them leave, but I didn't count on what was going to happen next: my wife was standing there, arms crossed and a frown on his face "What?"

"I was trying to delay them to prom!" Oh, boy... I forgot about overprotective mamma-bear here... "That- that... boy wants something with my little girl and I'll-"

"Brenda, you have to stop this" I interrupted her, knowing the lengths she'd go "Cindy is a big girl now, wether we like to admit it or not. You will not mess into her life, unless you rather have her not to speak for a long time..."

"You go after them!" she babbled, obviously not hearing a word I said. I looked at her, shocked "You will chaperone them, in the distance. If things get ugly, you will stop him and bring her home immediately, where she'll be grounded and could not go to university-"

"I want a divorce!" I shouted, hoping she'd stop this madness, but she kept rambling and walking around the house. I rolled my eyes and grabbed my keys, leaving the house. I need some fresh air...

~oOo~

I will admit that I considered going to Cindy's prom to warn her about what had happened at home. After all, I don't keep secrets from her. It was hard to deal with the fact that your little girl would rather go to her father than her mother when she has her first period, but I man up and talked to her. She has a 'cordial' relationship with Brenda, like if she was her stepmother instead of her mother and I won't force her.

"You're doing the right thing..." I muttered to myself, walking into a pub and sitting by the bar.

"You're doing the right thing, man!" I heard someone, echoing my own words "If I'm doing that, my wife will cut me into small pieces that not even the smartest of the smartest could fix me!" I turned to see who was speaking and saw a man in his mid-thirties, with curly brown hair and greasy looks. He was wearing what it looked like a greasy shirt and a tool belt.

"But, she's the only thing I have... and Will is working and he was very specific with the 'look after her' thing..." There was a man talking to the first one and he was dressed as the night. Literally. Black coat with black glasses and black hat, he looked like a private investigator of the twenties. His pale skin made me think 'vampire', just to humor myself.

"Ana would had hated you for the rest of your life if you have done it... Trust me, this is better than to spy her at her prom..." I chuckled to myself, getting their attention. I blushed a little, but smiled at them.

"Well, fellas... Guess we're all in the same situation..." I raised my glass at them, before drinking it "To those who followed their little girls to their prom!" I toasted and, to my shock, all the men around the pub raised their glasses to that "I did not expected that..." I confessed, making everyone chuckle at me.

"Single parent?" the greasy guy asked me.

"Nah, I'm married but my overprotective wife made me come here... I didn't want to... You?" He puffed his chest, smirking.

"I'm the cool uncle that stopped the overprotective dad over here-" he pointed at his friend, who slapped his finger away "-from having to embarrass his little girl..."

"Yeah, right... You kind of wanted me to come so I could embarrass myself!"

"You wound me, Nico... I'd never do that!" It was clear he was teasing his friend about it, because both were chuckling.

"Dad?" Everyone turned their heads and saw Cindy with Cameron walking into the pub, with another couple "What are you doing here? Were you... following me?"

"Papà? Uncle Leo?" the other girl stared at the friends, in shock, as well as her date. I decided to deal with my daughter and her date first.

"No, Cin... Your mother wanted me to, but I ended up here..." I told her, rather being honest "What about you? What are you doing here?"

"A couple of athletes thought it'd be funny to have a food fight and there's nothing to eat..." Cameron nodded, like backing her story up "Everyone who escape being in the fight is coming here..." I glanced around, most of the guys getting ready for the imminent arrival of their daughters and dates.

"Oh, this is gonna be fun..." I muttered to myself.

Hello, guys

First of all, i want to apologize for not posting last Sunday. You see, last Sunday was my grandfather's birthday and it was held at home, so I was greeting guests all day. By the time the party ended, I had to clean up all the mess and I was tired. I know it's not excuse, but it's the truth.

Also, since Monday midday till this morning I was without power. And no power means no wifi nor electricity. Which is why I'm posting today.

I'll be posting today 3 chapters of Mortals: Meet... the In-Laws (had it a little forgotten!), 1 chapter of Percy Jackson, son of Chaos and the final 7 chapters of Mortals: Meet... 2 (last chapter will have its own emotional goodbye note).

I remind you that you have time till next Wednesday to vote on my next story, here or in my in Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pg/SilverHuntresses/posts (your choice).

Also, I want to let you know that I'll update my Quotev.com and Penana sites (I have them a little forgotten). Once I do, I'll post a post (;p) with all my sites so you can check them out.

Signing out!
xoxo, SilverHuntresses
