It cuts to Mark, Barry, David, Kelsey, Craig, J.P., and Sky walking home. 

"It's really good to see you again, Sky Dawg." David said excitedly. 

"It's good to see you, Mark, and Barry again along with three kids I've never met before in my entire life." Sky said pointing out Craig, Kelsey, and J.P. 

"Oh, yeah, this is Carlos, Kelly, and Joseph." Mark said introducing Craig, Kelsey, and J.P. with the wrong names that weren't actually theirs. 

"Uh, actually, I'm Craig and this is Kelsey and J.P., my two friends." Craig said correcting Mark on the name mistake for him, Kelsey, and J.P. 

"Well noted, Craig, Kelsey, and J.P." Sky said nodding. 

Once getting out of the woods from the creek, Sky smiles brightly at the way she went back through after going through to go find where David, Mark, and Barry hanging out at Elder Rock in the creek since they were kids. 

She walks up to the steps of David's house with a stride in her step. 

Mark follows Sky with a worried look on his face. 

He takes a hold of Sky's left arm

"Um, Sky, are David's parents home? Because Barry and I don't want to overstay our stay here for that-" Mark spoke out. 

The front door opens to reveal Greyson with the same serious look on his face. 

"Long." Mark squeaked out with a scared look on his face. 

Craig, Kelsey, J.P., David, and Barry look at Greyson with worried looks. 

"Hi, Dad." Sky said smiling happily. 

"Dad?" Mark, David, Barry, Craig, Kelsey, and J.P. asked in question. 

Greyson sneered with a unpleased look at Mark holding onto Sky's arm. 

Mark laughs nervously and lets go of Sky's left arm. 

"Hi, Sky's dad." Craig, Kelsey, J.P., David, and Barry greeted to Greyson nervousness. 

Greyson leaned forward towards Mark. 

Mark jerks back a little. 

The grown man starts sniffing Mark's hair very suspiciously. 

Greyson growls in defense of Sky, showing a bit of his teeth. 

Mark chuckled nervously. 

"Dad, Mark, Barry, and David are nice people. Trust me, please?" Sky pleads. 

Greyson then eyes his daughter with a "Seriously?" look. 

David and Barry walk up slowly with nervousness. 

"H-hi, sir." David and Barry said smiling nervously. 

Greyson turned his attention to David and Barry. 

The grown man starts sniffing the air around David. 

David yelps in fear and recoils back behind Barry. 

Greyson looks at Barry with a serious look. 

As if there was a staring competition, Barry and Greyson looked at each other for a few seconds like it was for eternity. 

Barry started to shake and sweat nervously. 

"Greyson, is there someone at the door?" Skylar asked curiously. 

Skylar comes over to the door. 

She seemed surprised to see David, Mark, Barry, Craig, Kelsey, and J.P. standing with Sky. 

Greyson then stands straight up like a soldier. 

"Hi, Mom, is it okay if Mark, Barry, Craig, Kelsey, and J.P. stay for dinner with us, David, and his parents?" Sky asked Skylar with curiosity in her voice.

"Well, if it would be okay with their parents, then it's okay with me." Skylar said smiling brightly.

Craig, Kelsey, and J.P. smiled nervously.

"Oh, it's okay, Sky's mom. I invited Kelsey and J.P. for a sleep over at my house." Craig said not wanting to intrude.

Greyson grunted in approval and went back inside in the direction of the dining room.

"Oh, that's quite fine, kiddo. Maybe some other time." Skylar said suggestively.

Craig, Kesley, and J.P. nodded in agreement and head in the direction of Craig's house.

"Are you sure it is okay, we stay for dinner, Sky?" Barry asked nervously.

"Yeah, because I think your dad isn't too thrilled to see us in David's house." Mark points out.

Sky playfully punches Mark in the arm, causing the teenage boy to blush lightly.

"Don't worry. My dad will warm up to you three in no time until you say, "Hot Spicy Beefers", then it's fine with me and my mom." Sky said smiling.

David rushes inside quickly at the mention of "Hot Spicy Beefers".

Sky smiles playfully and pulls Barry and Mark by their arms to be in the house.

Skylar laughed playfully.

Once entering the house, Sky has Barry seated in a chair on the rights side of another chair.

Mark sits in the chair in between the empty and the chair David scrambles to sit in.

Sky sits in between Barry and Mark.

"I hope everyone likes spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread." Deena said.

The older brunette brought out a crystal-clear bowl full of spaghetti and meatballs out to the table.

Vance brought out the garlic bread and set it next to the spaghetti and meatballs on the table.

"I'd always missed your spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread, Mama Deena and Papa Vance. I mean it is equally as good as my mom's spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread." Sky said pointing out.

Skylar gushed fondly at her daughter's comment and smiled brightly.

"Oh, Sky, I knew your father, I, Deena, and Vance raised you well." Skylar said patting Sky on the back.

Barry passed the spaghetti and meatballs to Sky.

"Oh, thanks, Barry. You're a real peach." Sky said smiling with color radiating from her.

Sky gratefully took the spaghetti and meatballs, making her hands brush up against Barry's hands.

That made Barry blush profusely to the color of a tomato and a beet.

"N-no p-problem, Sky." Barry said smiling nervously.

Sky smiled back with such loveliness coming from her aurora.

Greyson growled lowly at the sight.

The protective dad was about to do something about Sky and Barry's physical contact until Skylar stopped him for a moment their daughter was sharing with a childhood friend.

"Greyson, please, it's not like we're going to lose our baby girl again." Skylar said honestly.

(Note the foreshadowing, please!) 

After dinner was eaten, Sky was bidding Barry and Mark a goodnight.

"Thanks for having us over, Sky." Barry and Mark said.

"Oh, guys, it was no big deal. Mama Deena and Papa Vance always loved having you both over. David and I will see you both tomorrow?" Sky asked curiously like how she was as a kid.

Barry nodded with a blush and love-struck grin on his face.

Mark gave a thumbs up as he just blushed with a "Okay, fine. It's a deal." look on his face.

Greyson appeared behind Sky and growled like some sort of dog-werewolf hybrid mix.

"Okay, Dad, I'll be in bed soon. See you two tomorrow." Sky said closing the door with excitement in her.

As the door closed, both Barry and Mark sighed at the tensed atmosphere after seeing Greyson giving them serious looks and stares that could send any boy for the hills.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow." Barry whispered smiling softly.
