Pyxis had never been more terrified in her life. She especially did not understand why she had even agreed to this in the first place. How had Dudley talked her into meeting his parents? They were driving all the way to London to see the flat Dudley was living in and to meet the girlfriend that Dudley had managed to make for himself. And because it was such a big deal, she'd spent her entire Friday night cleaning the flat and making it parent friendly.

She looked at herself in the dress. It wasn't even a typical dress she'd wear. It was a nice dress that Dudley had helped her pick out. She was waiting for them to arrive, brushing and fixing her hair for third time in a mirror in their sitting room, glancing at Walden. Why was he looking at her like that? And why did she have to wear heels? They hurt her feet. "What?" She frowned, then glanced at Dudley. "Why are you two staring at me?"

Dudley let Walden take his parents over, shaking his head as he pulled Pyxis close. "They don't even know you yet," he said. "They're just made at me because I said they were being rude, asking about your family money and if you were going to inherit it. Anyone could see they were being rude. They're only annoyed because they know they should be ashamed of themselves."

He kissed Pyxis's temple. "You're doing a great job, Pyxis. You're amazing. They'll come around. I promise. If they don't... well, they're my parents, but they're still wrong about a lot of things. Like the way they feel about Harry's gay godfather, yeah?"

	"God. Don't tell them about my gay brother or any of my gay friends." Pyxis laughed softly, pressing their foreheads together. "I'm trying to be perfect for you. But, I'm not perfect. I'm just putting on a show of who they want me to be." She kissed him softly, then pulled back. "How bad does the chicken look?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pyxis smiled at Dudley. "You're good to me. Even if your parents don't like me." She kissed him softly on the lips and pressed close to him before she pulled back. "Definitely not raw. She led him into the kitchen and grabbed the bottle of wine she'd bought. "I hope you like wine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pyxis came back into the room in a pair of purple, zebra-striped leggings and a Stooges t-shirt, her boots untied and her hair undone. She sat down at the table and looked down at her food. "The mashed potatoes are going to get cold." She told them all, shoving her fork into the pile on her plate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pyxis was kind of trembling in Walden's arms. She stared up at him, on the verge of crying and shook her head. He didn't know. She'd ruined everything and she was going to be alone again. "He's going to dump me." Pyxis replied quietly. "He's going to dump me because his parents don't like me and I'm going to be alone again. People don't like me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pyxis blinked away tears. "That's the problem. He doesn't stand up to his parents. And if his mother decides he shouldn't be with me, he's going to cave eventually. It doesn't matter how rich I am. She won't want him with me." She chewed at her bottom lip and wiped away her tears. "You're not like everyone else. You're weird." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pyxis glanced at Dudley and shook her head. "Just your girlfriend here. Worried that you're going to dump her. That's all." She sighed softly and walked over to Dudley. "What did they say about me when you walked them to the car?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
