| | |  A Very Merry McDean Christmas: 2092 Edition
banner made by MuggleDinosaur <3
 Tis the season to be McDean-ing... fa la la la
It has been at least a decade, if not more, since all the McDean children gathered together in the same house for Christmas. Arielle, the only daughter amongst a puddle of brothers, planned the whole event out. She sent out the invitations to her brothers, decorated the tree, and Logan got stuck cooking dinner for everything (yay?) The clock was ticking, and it was getting closer and closer to the time where everyone would be arriving. Would everyone show up? Would this Christmas Day go as planned? Or will the house be burned down in flames before the sun even sets? Only time will tell.
Be prepared, ladies and gentlmen, to celebrate Christmas McDean style.
Merry Christmas!

sooooo how exactly did he get stuck being Chef Logan?
The man had been asking himself that over and over again as he walked about the kitchen, preparing this big meal for what he was sure would be a disaster event. Did anything good EVER come out of getting his family together? No, absolutely NOT! Nobody in his family really got along all too well, but here he was, slaving over an almost cooked turkey. After checking the temperature of the food, he wiped his hands on his apron and walked into the living room.
"I'm placing bets on tonight," he told his fiancée, Sera, and little sister, Arielle. "10 Galleons that Sam and Dan will probably end up breaking something highly expensive." Nothing they could not fix but still. "5 Galleons Nick will leave early for whatever reason." More than likely a work-related issue. "I also place a Galleon on you, Arielle. You'll probably lose your mind by the end of the night." It was all her idea anyways. He looked over at the clock and added, "Let the games begin."
Who would be the first family member to show up?

Sooooo this had been an insane idea - something that Arielle had been aware from the get-go.
Did that stop her?
NEVER.
Instead she rolled her eyes at her older brother. Well, ONE of her older brothers, since all her siblings were older than her and she was the only girl. She was also the only PERFECT McDean; something that the others disputed with her, but that didn't change facts and they were all in denial. Arielle was the only sane one in the entire bunch minus the younger ones. Nick was quite sane too, despite being married to his job.
"My bet is more that Dan will show up late - IF he comes at all. He didn't even reply to the invite I sent him." Typical Dan. Just like it was typical of her to suggest this idea and then unload all the work on Logan. Merry Christmas to her favourite sibling!
As to that last bet... "I am the sanest one in the bunch." Not really. | |

Was Olly nervous for this?
A little but it wasn't because some of his family members would be meeting Esme for the first time. It was more like he was dreading them teasing him. He had have his fair share of that in the past. Not to mention he was nervous because he was hoping this get together would go on without a hitch. What if there was a brawl or something? What would Esme think? WOuld she think they were a crazy bunch?
Olly (dressed in all black obviously) put an arm around Esme's waist. "They'll love you,'' he reassured his girlfriend. He smiled and kissed her forehead. She must be feeling the same way he was although for different reasons. "Here goes.'' The goth raised his free hand to knock on the door. | |

Here she was, at her soon-to-be in laws Christmas gathering. She has a gut feeling that her parents probably weren't the happiest right now about her being here but she also didn't really care. She told her parents that herself, Logan and William would be there tomorrow morning for some festivities. The brunette looked over at her idiot fiancée. She loved him so much but man was he an idiot sometimes.
Seraphina put her hands on her hips and shook her head at Logan. "Why do you feel the need to place bets on your siblings?" Seraphina shook her with a loud sigh so Logan could hear her. "I'm marrying an idiot." At least this wasn't going to be a completely boring party.

Snort.
DOUBLE snort.
"I hardly doubt anyone is really sane in this family," Logan pointed out to Arielle. "We grew up without a father, but we did have a stepfather that shuns every single one of us, except Dan." This was a big reason why he tried so hard to be apart of his daughter's life because he did not want her to end up in a family like his where no one seemed to truly care what was going on. Even though he tried hard with Kyra, she seemed to be becoming more and more like a McDean and less and less like the person he wanted her to be. Le sigh. "And for Dan, I honestly will be surprised if he shows up at all." He probably was still sitting on his yacht someone, ignoring the time.
His brown eyes traveled over to Sera, who clearly had not had the honor of meeting his family. If she had, she would know why he was acting the way he was. Oh merlin, what if she left him after meeting his family?? He would hurt every single one of his siblings if she did. Ever. Single. One. "You're marrying into an idiotic family," he corrected her. "I'm sorry." He heard the timer go off for the chicken, and he rushed back into the kitchen. "I place bets because I know my brothers! I grew up with them," he called out from the kitchen. "Just wait and see. You'll soon understand, young grasshopper."
He heard the doorbell and quickly began wondering who would be the first to show up. Sam? Juliette? Maybe his daughter? He took the oven mittens off and went to greet whomever it was. "Oliver!" He explained with a big grin on his face. "I'm so glad you could make it." Surely, that means Naida and Nicholas were not far behind. "And you must be Esme, yes? I'm Logan." He vaguely remembered the name being on the rsvp letter. Welp, he was here.
Samuel was not exactly sure WHY he decided to show up tonight because most of his family excluded him from practically everything. He was always just... here, that's it. He did, however, promise Juliette that he would be here to enjoy Christmas with her and his family. He could not say no to her, and he knew if he said no to his rsvp letter, Arielle would of hunted him down. He knew VERY well how persist she was when it came to planning events.
He walked up the driveway towards the door where it seemed his nephew, Oliver, some random girl he did not know, and Logan were already at. Don't tell him he arrived early for once.... "Look who the hippogriff dragged in," he announced his presence to Oliver. "Long time, no see, mate." Was his daughter here yet? Would she be bringing her boyfriend...? Merlin, he still has not recovered from coming to realization that his daughter was old enough to date.

Arielle couldn't help but feel that Seraphina was being a bit of a killjoy by not participating in the betting, but she was a good woman regardless, and the bit about marrying an idiot had her laughing. "She's right about that." JUST TEASING. Logan could do a lot worse than that for a wife; hopefully he didn't blow it with her.
"No, I am the sane one and you boys are nuts." That was how their sibling dynamic worked and Arielle wasn't sure why Logan and the others hadn't grasped that yet when she had explained it to them several times. Dan had just rolled his eyes at her, and she hadn't been able to mention it to Nick any time soon because he was too busy living in South Africa. "Oh, I think Dan would show just to spite Sam." It was inevitable, and she could just picture the look on Sam's face with it happened. It made her want to laugh though she somehow managed to stop herself. There was a knock on the door which meant that guests were arriving!
"Oliver! It's good to see you. And this must be your girlfriend." Arielle remembered that he would be bringing his girlfriend with him, but couldn't remember her name at the moment. It was something French sounding. Well, he definitely could do a lot worse because she was very pretty!
Usually Esme wasn't very shy, but she was feeling that right now! This was her first Christmas with Olly, and they would be spending it with his family; most of them she hadn't met yet, but at least she knew his sister and dad. They were very welcoming and she was looking forward to seeing them again, but it was the other people that had her feeling this way. Hopefully they were nice and made her feel just as welcome as his dad and Naida had when she had gone down to see them in South Africa with Olly last summer.
"I hope you're right," she said with a small smile as he put his arm around her and kissed her forehead. That helped Esme feel a little more at ease. She only had time to kiss his cheek before the door was answered and someone else had arrived behind them. These must be Olly's aunt and uncles because she had no idea who else they could possibly be. "Yes, that's me. Hello."
Aaah, she hated being shy! | |

Olly smiled and still held Esme close. She had nothing to worry about. His family was cool like his sister and dad. The remaining members would love her as well. He could hear footsteps approaching and turned his attention fully to it. There were Arielle and Logan. His smile broadened. If there was anyone he could be comfortable around beside Esme it was his family. “Hi, you two.’’ He leaned in to kiss Arielle’s cheek and then to hug Logan. “Uncle Samuel!’’ Olly had been looking forward to seeing him since they hadn’t seen each other in a while. “What’s up with you? Is Emma going to be here?’’
And he had not forgotten about Esme.
“Everyone, this is girlfriend. Esme, these are my Aunt Arielle and my uncles Logan and Samuel.’’ Soon she would be meeting more of the family. That was when things would get hectic and a little (or maybe a lot) crazy. | |
