"Star Darling, We're going to be late, your hair looks fantastic and Cici doesn't need to change she looks perfectly fine the way she is." Shad knocked on the door to Star's closet. As usual, the process of getting the entire family out of the house was taking far too long.

"Kage! Make sure your sister is ready!" Shad yelled down the hall expecting the usual back talk he got from the rebellious teen. She had gotten both his and Star's stubbornness which made progress with her very difficult. He took a deep breath he was going to need to drain a human after all of this. There were going to be a lot of old classmates at this reunion, many of which he had seen around since school, a few of them he had only recently made amends with. He wouldn't admit he regretted a lot of the things he did in high school but looking back he probably could have held himself back from trying to kill the humans every other day and given a little thanks when the others helped him.

"I'm coming in." Shad opened the door, Cici bolted to him and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Daddy~! I wanna wear the red dress!" Cici looked up at Shad with big puppy dog eyes. She was currently wearing a pink dress and it looked adorable on her. It took all of Shad's control to break eye contact with the little girl and give Star a look that said they should get moving.
