19. The Polo Match
Doris was hosting a polo match and you know what that meant. We all had to dress up fancily which meant I had to wear a dress and I was the pant suit kind of girl. Oliver was cutting the ribbon, I was was leading one of the horses out and I don't know about the others. I went downstairs and Anna-Kat followed behind.
"Hey, Anna-Kat. You want to lead a horsie out at a pony event along with your sister?" Doris asked her, of course she would.
"Yes!" Anna-Kat shouted with a jump.
"Got you now." Doris said while pointing at mom.
"Wow! Blindsided by my best friend. Now I know how Roy felt when the tiger ate him." Mom said to us, not our fault.
"Also Y/n how would you and your friends like to have a dance piece?" Doris asked us, I smiled.
"We'd love that." I said to her with a smile. "Thank you for this opportunity." I said to her with a smile.
"You're welcome." She said to me, I then went upstairs and started talking to the others about this and we knew the perfect song to dance to. When it got to the next day I found out that Olive and I's god father Billy was coming over.
"I can't believe Billy's coming to visit." Oliver said to Taylor and I.
"But at least it's only me who he leaves alone." I said to them both. Oliver always had it worst.
"You should be excited to see him. He's your godfather." Taylor said us while opening up the fridge.
"All he does is terrorize me. We've been in a seven-year prank war, and he's the only one doing the pranks." Oliver said to us, it was pretty funny though.
"I will never be happier than the day I saw you with shaved eyebrows." Taylor said with a smile.
"That day was hilarious and I still have the pictures." I said with a smile. They were never going to be deleted. We then heard a car horn go. The car horn being La Cucaracha.
"He's here! Out of my way!" Mom shouted while pushing Oliver out the way.
"How come you're never that excited to see me?" Oliver asked, for obvious reasons.
"Too many reasons to name right now!" Mom shouted before walking outside. "Come on, Greg!" Mom shouted before they both went outside. We then went outside. Taylor held Anna-Kat's hand.
"Everything will be fine and if Billy pranks you I won't tell anyone." I told Oliver with a smile.
"Thank you, I knew I could trust you." Oliver said to me.
"But I will take pictures." I said to him with a smile.
"Say hello to your godfather." Mom said to Oliver and I.
"Oliver, Y/n, so,edgy I'm gonna come to you for a favor. Gooba, gooba, goo." Billy said before ruffling both of our hair and laughing.
"Okay, yeah. I think this joke has run it's course." Oliver said with a smile as we both put our hair back to normal.
"I think we need a new one." I said with a nod.
"You remember Taylor and Anna-Kat." Mom said to Billy.
"Yeah, Taylor, it's been a long time. And I know that you like to keep your hands clean, so I got you a box of plastic gloves." He said before handing the box of gloves to Anna-Kat.
"Ooh! The lunch lady wears these." Anna-Kat said to him, I think she was happy.
"Oh, thank God you're here to save me. They're trying to turn me into a fancy-hat person." Mom said to Billy, I didn't mind the fancy hats but I was not a fan of the fancy-dresses.
"Oh, don't worry about that. Billy's got ya. The only thing going on your head is this." Billy said before ruffling Mom's hair with his fist. They both laughed. Taylor, Oliver and I looked at each other.
"Sir, could you please turn off your truck?" A guy with his son asked.
"Could you please go screw yourself?" Billy asked making Mom laugh.
"You are just what I needed." Mom said before we started going inside.
"Sorry, Ron. You're under no obligation to go screw yourself." I heard Dad shout at Ron.
"In college, Billy would make us breakfast every Sunday morning." Mom said as Billy got us all food once we were inside the house.
"How high were we?" Billy asked before chuckling. I always knew this would come up at some point.
"We were on the seventh floor, so...pretty high." Mom said to us, it was an awful save.
"Terrible save." Taylor said to her.
"We could all come up with something better." I said to Mom.
"Now...this is my chicken neck scramble. My hook is, I barbecue the chicken necks. You know, most people throw them away." Billy said to us, now that didn't sound appetizing at all.
"When was the last time your truck passed a health inspection test?" Oliver asked him, it was seeming like never.
"Well, technically, it's an old-donation truck, so I skate by inspection-free." Billy said to us, I put my fork down.
"Okay, people, pass your food to the front." Dad said before taking the food from us. Oliver put his hand in his bag and pulled out either shaving cream or whipped cream.
"Ah-ah! Gotcha!" Billy said making him and Mom laugh. I took pictures.
"He put shaving cream in my backpack!" Oliver said making us all laugh. "Mom!" Oliver said to her.
"Oliver, grow a pair." Mom said to him. Dad then helped Oliver clean his stuff. Before school. When we got dropped off at school I was glad.
"Bye, Taylor. Bye, Y/n. Bye, Anna-Kat." Billy said as we all walked off when I got inside I went over to my friends.
"You've got to help me." I said to them.
"What is it?" Has asked me.
"My godfather, Billy, is in town." I said to them.
"And that's a bad thing?" Lilli asked me, I nodded.
"Yes, he terrorizes Oliver and I. It's horrible." I said to them.
"We'll get you out I promise." Hattie said to me, I saw Cooper walk over to us with Oliver.
"Cooper, I need you to do Oliver and I favor." I said to him as he was about to pass. He stopped and looked at us.
"What's going on?" Cooper asked while looking between us.
"Our godfather Billy is in town." Oliver started before looking at me.
"So please, I know you're supposed to come over tonight but if Billy sees you there will be a lot of hate coming your way so please can we reschedule for the next week or something." I said to him, he looked at me before looking at Oliver.
"I get it. But I will be holding you both to it." Cooper said yo us, at least he was understanding this.
"Thank you." I said before kissing him. I knew Oliver hated it but oh well. When we got home we saw that Mom had stolen one of those inflatable guys that flop around. No one was impressed.
"What kind of lesson is this for the kids?!" Dad asked her and Oliver turned the machine off. I had no words.
"Billy dared me." Mom said to us, so just because someone dared her she has to do it. Oliver sighed.
"I do not like these friends of hers." Oliver said to her.
"And just because someone dared you to do something doesn't mean you have to do it." I said to her getting a nod from Oliver.
'You're gonna take this back, and you're going to apologize." Dad said to Mom, she better.
"Fine. But I can't apologize. I don't even know what this thing is called. What am I supposed to say? 'Sorry I stole your...'" She said before waving her arms around. This was traumatizing. Anna-Kat then came downstairs wearing a dress.
"I'm practicing leading the pony onto the field. But before you say anything, I realize...this is make-believe." Anna-Kat said while holding up her pony she'd been dragging.
"You look amazing, baby." Mom said to her, I went to sit at the counter.
"You know...this could work." Dad said while taking the flower that was on the pony. He then put it onto Mom's hat. Before placing the hat on her head.
"Now...we all match." Dad said to her, I hated that the theme was purple.
"No. Mnh-mnh." Mom got out, she hated this just as much as I did.
"Come on, mama. Please!" Anna-Kat to her, now Mom couldn't refuse.
"Okay. I've got to learn to love you less." Mom said to her before taking Anna-Kat's hand. Billy then walked into the house. Mom then threw her hat off.
"Don't worry about me, Westport. Wear whatever you want." Billy said to Mom, this might be a mini fight.
"Hey, don't call me Westport." Mom said to him, this was getting good. Unfortunately I didn't have popcorn.
"Pbht! I bet you even started wearing underwear." Billy said to her, now I didn't need to know that.
"Ew! Mom!" Taylor got out. Oliver then walked past Billy.
"Mine." Billy said while taking the donut Oliver had on his plate. He then started eating it.
"Look, Katie...I'll go with ya...but I'm not wearing a hat. And I'm 50/50 on wearing a shirt." Billy said to us.
"Well, I'm going over to Jas' so the five of us can practice." I said to them all while picking up my bag.
"Don't injure yourself before the big day." Mom said to me, I nodded. When I got to Jas' we went to her dance studio. It was the guest room and we all just practiced.
"So, I take it you're not excited for this." Khadijah said me. I shook my head.
"I'm excited for this just not the purple I have to wear and the dress." I said to them all, they looked at me.
"I have a purple jumpsuit you can borrow." Hattie said to me I looked at her.
"Wait really?" I asked her with a smile. I hugged her.
"You're a lifesaver." I said to her. When we all left I stopped by her house to pick it up before heading home. Hattie and I were the same size so I knew it would fit. When it got to that day I put it on and I looked good.
"I'm gonna take Anna-Kat and sign in." Dad said to us, I nodded.
"Okay, Champ. Catch you later." Billy said to him.
"You know my name is Greg." Dad said to him while walking away.
"You got it, Ace." Billy said to him.
"I'm off to go and see my friends maybe get some last minute practice done." I said to them before walking away. I saw that there was a mini stage for us.
"Let's get some practice done now that we're all here." Lilli said to us all and we started doing some practice. We then managed to get everything down until Doris came over to us.
"Are you girls ready to perform?" Doris asked us, I looked around at everyone.
"Yeah, I think we are." I said to her with a smile. She introduced us on stage and we started doing the dance that we'd practiced over these few days. I then had to rush off afterwards to help with leading the horse out.
"Thank you, everyone, for attending and contributing to this...important event. A-And now Oliver Otto will cut the ceremonial ribbon." We heard Doris say over the P.A. System. "Just to be clear, he is not my child." She added, we all knew her real plan. Oliver couldn't find the scissors though.
"Oliver, where are the giant scissors?" Mom asked him, I had no idea.
"They were just here a second ago." Oliver said to us, how could he lose them.
"They're enormous. How did you lose them?" Doris asked her, I honestly had no idea.
"We'll find them. Doris, distract the crowd." Angela said before we all started looking for them.
"Uh, so, where'd everybody from? Is that Cartier or Tiffany? Do you like your mint julep?" Doris asked, I looked at Anna-Kat.
"Let's go and get the horse ready." I said to her while holding my hand out. She nodded and we walked off. We saw the horse and Anna-Kat was enjoying her time with the horse before we had to start leading it out. When we led the horse out it was nice especially since it made Anna-Kat happy. Once we got home Billy was saying his goodbyes.
"Taylor...I really like the boyfriend. Sweetheart...that was some of the best pony-leading I've ever seen." Billy said to Taylor and Anna-Kat.
"Even though I let it go and it ran through the parking lot?" Anna-Kat asked, it was my fault. I shouldn't have let her walk it for the rest of the way.
"Because you let it go and it ran through the parking lot. Y/n, you're a good dancer and I think you have the potential to go far. Oliver, because I'm in a generous mood, you did get me with the toothpaste doughnut. I threw up in the bathroom and had diarrhea for two days. Well done." He said to us making us smile.
"I'm sorry that I'm not the Katie you were expecting." Mom said to him, she was always going to change.
"Gah. It'll take some getting used to, like when David Lee Roth left and Sammy Hagar replaced him. The band was the same...but different. And, then again, maybe this is not like that at all." Billy said before Mom hugged him. Either way Mom was still Mom. Billy picked his stuff up and sighed. Then chucked his stuff in his food van. "Bye, Rick." Billy said to him.
"It's Greg!" Dad said to him. At least not the house would be back to normal. But I couldn't wait to change out of this. But hey, at least the events over and I never have to be apart of one again. Hopefully.
