Smiling as Jynx told her the answer, Matty then nodded and said "That sounds about right." Though as his little dog Scrat went bounding out the door, she wondered what could have triggered his sudden change of action. Watching as Jynx followed Scrat after he had barked, Matty was thinking upon following him down/ But when re returned back into the room, she felt no need to.
"Evey thing alright?" she asked with a hint of anxiety in her voice. Maybe it wasn't the cat or something... But it isn't likely the someone would spy on us.. she ran through her head. Smiling as Jynx entered the room again, she watched him for any signs of distress. Standing up and joining him, she then asked "Do you wanna head back downstairs." Matty didn't mind if they would stay up in his room for a while longer.
But if Jynx wanted to go back down into the family area, she would be happy to do that also.

“Ya everything is fine.” Jynx said with the smile reappearing on his face. He didn’t really know what Ty was up to but wasn’t going to accuse him of anything in front of Matty. “Something must have just spooked Scrat that’s all, which happens all the time.”
“Sure we can go back down stairs and hangout down there if ya like.” Jynx said a couple of seconds later walking out of the room and waiting for Matty to join him so that they could go down stairs together. Once down stairs Jynx saw that Ty had rejoined the group also with a smirk residing firmly on his face. Jynx just glared over at him before taking a seat in one of the chairs near the Christmas tree. Waiting for his mom and dad to finish their conversation with Matty’s dad Jynx smiled over at Matty. When they were finished he asked the group at large, “What should we do about lunch?”
“Oh yes it is about that time,’ Shelly said with a smile, “I don’t know do we want to eat here or go out for a bite to eat then have dinner here later this evening?” She was asking everyone in the room for their input especially there guests.

Smiling and nodding, Matty made her way down the stairs with Jynx. Watching as they re-entered the room, she caught the strangest sight. Jynx had a glare planted on his face, Ty staring directly at him. What the? she thought. Thought maybe they were just playing around. Taking her thoughts off it, Matty then sat down next to Jynx, even if it was only for a little while. Listening to him, and Shelly, her father then said "Well i think i can say that Matty and I are happy to do anything?" looking over to her. Nodding she said 'Yeah, sure." turning to the rest of the group.
Jynx had told Matty about the great things that his family did. It was a large family, so there was never any lack of spirit as far as she knew. Although the thing with Jynx and Ty, really made her think. It couldn't... Wouldn't have been him at the door? But what if it was... What would he have against me and Jynx? Trying to rack it out of her head, she then concentrated on the rest of the groups input.

“Ok. Then I think that we should go out for lunch and then later tonight I will make us something good for dinner.” Shelly said with a smile looking around to the group at large. “So, does anyone have a preference of where we should go.” Taking a pause for a minute then continuing, “If not there is this little Italian place not to far from here that we like pretty well and it has something for everyone.”
“Sounds good to me,” Jynx said getting up from his chair as if he was ready to go, “I’m starving and could eat anything right about now” He had been to the Italian place many times and knew exactly what he was going to get, that is if Matty and her father wanted Italian. If not he could find something to eat anywhere.
After they had made there decision on the place they were to eat Don offered to take them all in his car. They would all be able to fit and that way they wouldn’t have to take two separate cars. He wasn’t sure how well Deric knew this area and didn’t want him to get lost on the way to the restuarant.

Looking around at the room, Matty found her way to where Shelly was standing and nodded "Yeah, Italian sounds great." Her father then spoke up "Certainly does." Then as Matty stood up, she took note of what Jynx's dad had suggested. "If you like. Though i don't mind trailing your car to the restuarant if its going to be a squeeze?" Matty knew that her father wouldn't mind trailing them in. Though if wanting to, sure he would go in someone else's car. It would probably be confirmed to go to the Italian place in a few minutes.
Then thinking about what sorta of foods they would have, she would most likely end up reading the menu, and finding out what yummy food they served. Pizza and Pasta was of corse the usual, but maybe they had something different? Though looking over to Jynx, she caught his eye, before smiling. She was having a great time.

“Italian it is.” Jynx said smiling and catching Matty’s eye.
“It shouldn’t be a squeeze. Will take the Hummer it seats like seven comfortably.” Don said looking around the room and taking a head count. There was six of them so there should be no problem with anyone being cramped. It was the car that they normally took when all of the kids were at the house so he knew that everyone would fit. He would just have to put the third row of seats back up in his car that he had set down to haul something in the day before, but that shouldn’t be a problem since they just folded up. “But if you would feel more comfortable driving your own vehicle that is fine too. Either way.” he said smiling. He knew that some people just liked to drive themselves and that was perfectly understandable to him.

"Well i think parking wise we might be better taking two cars? I mean the hummer idea would be great, though we might have some trouble parking it, from size. I'd be happy to take my car and just trail you guys to the restaurant." Deric stated in attempt to make things easier for everyone. Matty knew that her father wouldn't mind at all, just tagging along behind the Caffee's family car. Standing up of of her chair, Matty then watched as the whole room got their thing together, before walking out the door.
All of Jynx's family took their own car, while Matty and Deric took theirs. Once pulling out of the drive way, Deric reversed his car so the the Caffee's could also pull out. Watching Don drive down the street a bit, Deric also followed him. Round a left corner, another left, up the street then taking a right turn at the lights. Then they saw it, a little restaurant placed at the side of the corner. It was decorated with all of the usual colours. A large sign, with grape vine grown across it read: Anzestoes.
Parking the cars around a thin side street, the two families then got out of their cars to meet up on the side walk. Once they had both gotten out, they then walked up to the middle section on the restaurant. Passing through the doors, a smell of pizza, and pasta and all sorts of yummy foods hit Matty's nose, and she was sure everyone else could smell it. Turing around, she then saw a tall, young boy, wearing a black pair of trousers, and a black shirt. Also wearing an apron, she had black slicked hair.
"How many are you seating today?" The man said, directing to the group. Matty and her father then waited for one of the Caffee's to answer, since they knew to total amount and had been there before.

“There are six of us,” Don said with a smile as the waiter gathered their menu’s and showed them to there table. It was right next to one of the restaurant’s windows. The table was a large circular shape that would fit them all easily. Jynx’s dad and mom sat down next to each other with Ty sitting next to Don and Jynx sitting next to Ty.
Taking the menu from the waiter Jynx looked quickly over it and decided to go with his usual. He loved there pizza and planned on getting one with almost everything on it, which included pepperoni, onion, green and black olives, bell peppers, mushrooms and sausage. Setting down his menu he looked around and waited to see what everyone else wanted.
“Can I start you off with any drinks?” the waiter asked politely.
“Sure, I’ll have a root beer,” Jynx said with a smile after Ty had ordered a coke and his mom and dad had ordered iced teas.

As Matty went and sat down next to Jynx, Deric then sat next to her, also sitting next to Shelly. Once the waiter had handed them their menus, Matty looked down through the list of things to oder. There was pizza's listed, even an option to customize your own. Pasta's, salads, desserts, and all sorts of things. But as the waiter then asked for any drinks, she said "I'll have a lemonade thanks." smiling at the young boy. Then as her father spoke up, he said "Just a lemon mineral water for me please." nodding to him.
Scanning her eyes down the list again, she wondered what she might have. Though passing down the Pasta list again, she noticed the Bacon and Mushroom Carbanrna. Mmmmm... that sounds nice. Might have that. she thought watching as the waiter returned with their drinks in a black tray. Placing the two Iced Tea's, a Root Beer, a Coke, a Lemon mineral water and a Lemonade on their table. "Thanks." Matty said as the boy came around and placed her drink in frount of her.
"Any one ready to order?" He asked in a cheery voice. "Er, I'll have the basil and tomato spaghetti please." asked her father, then after him Matty said "And I'll have the Bacon and Mushroom Carbanrna, thanks." smiling at him. Then wondering what Jynx and the rest of them were going to get, she turned to Jynx himself.

“Thanks,” Jynx said as the waiter handed him his root beer. “Ya, I’ll have the combination pizza.” He continued after Matty and her dad had ordered. Following Jynx, Ty ordered the house special pizza with pepperoni, sausage, mushroom and black olive. Then his mom and dad ordered, Don having the spaghetti and meatball pasta and shelly ordering a chef’s salad.
“I’ll put those in for you right away,” the waiter said in a polite tone as he made his way away from the table they were sitting at.
“So what kind of board games do you and Matty enjoy playing?” Shelly asked smiling over to Deric. She wondered if they had a favorite game that they liked to play so that she could make sure and incorporate it later tonight when they sat around playing games, as was tradition in the Caffee family.

Looking over to her father, Matty then answered with "Well dad and I have alwaysed loved Sherades as a game, even though thats not exacly a board game." She knew that her dad wouldn't mind if they didn't play it, after all neither would she. Then taking a sip of her lemonade, she listened as an Italian song came on, and almost everything went quiet, though in the background, a laughing family could be heard. Then after waiting a few minutes, the young waiter returned with two black trays balenced on each hand.
Winking at her as he passed their table and setting down each of their meals, he then backed away and held the trays to his chest, slightly bowing her then said "Enjoy your meals." looking back up. Smiling, Matty looked to the food infront of her. It looked like a mix of cream source, mushroom bits, and some slithers of bacon. Yumm... she thought as Matty looked around at all of the others. Not knowing with they were goign to say grace, if that th type of family they were, she would be polite and wait for the others alswell.

“That’s great,” Shelly said smiling over in Matty’s direction “Charades are always fun.” She wanted their guest to have a say in what tonight’s activities were going to be just as much as anyone else did. After all it was their Christmas Eve as well. “Ya we can randomly pick teams and play it, that way everyone gets to know each other more,” Don added in an excited voice after his wife had finished speaking. It was going to be a fun evening he thought and hoped that the guest would enjoy it just as much as the Caffee’s normally did.
Looking over all of the food on the table Don asked, “Deric would you like to say grace for us?”
After grace was said everyone dug into their lunches. Everything was great, the food tasted great and everyone seemed like they were having a wonderful time. The adults talking about different subjects while the kids amused themselves with telling each other about their different schools and plotting out a snowball fight that was to take place later on.
Once everyone was done eating and the plates were cleared the waiter came over and asked if anyone wished to have dessert.
A couple of minutes later the waiter was back with the desserts and also with the bill which Jynx’s dad motioned for the waiter to give it to him.
Once the bill was paid and the desserts polished off the two families loaded back up into the chairs and preceded back to the Caffee’s house.

Once making their way back to the house, Matty and Deric, then the Caffee family uloaded from the cars, then walked back into the house. When all in, they went back into their positions that they had all been in before they left for lunch. Sitting next to Jynx, Matty then turned to him on the lounge and asked "So do you wanna have a snowball fight?" hoping that he would say 'yes' If they did end up wanting to have one, odds were that the adults would all stay and chat, while her, Jynx and Ty had a snowball fight outside.
It didn't really snow where Matty lived, though just enough to make things icy. So going out and throwing snowballs at each other would be quite the treat in her case, considering that the both Jynx and Ty wanted to go outside and have one. Lunch had been great, and things were only going to get better, as the day went on.

“Sure,” Jynx said getting up from where he was sitting and waited for the rest to join him. “Come on Ty I'll make sure not to hurt you to bad.” he added with a laugh.
After Ty and Matty had joined him they made their wait out to the back yard. As they left the house Jynx bent down right as he got out side and picked up a snowball and threw it at Ty. “There ya go! That’s what you get for spying on us.” Jynx said with a smirk as he made his way over behind a tree for cover.
“I don’t know what your talking about.” Ty said grinning slightly as he picked up a snowball and aimed it at the back of Jynx’s head.
Looking back over his shoulder he caught the snowball right in the mouth. “Your in for it now!” Jynx said still laughing as he wiped the snow off of his face. “Come on Matty you can help me gain up on Ty.”

What?!... Ty was spying on us? Running over to Jynx, Matty hid behind the tree with with him. Then pulling him down beinth it out of sight of Ty. "Jynx don't go too hard on him..." then standing back up she smiled and said "You're in for it now." picking up a clump of snow. Quickly shaping it into a ball, she then held it up to head, and plopped it straight onto his hair. Smirking at him, she then looked around to find another tree across from that. Running over to that one, she made it so that they were all now in a three way fight.
Crouching down on the ground, Matty then got some heap fulls of snow together, making a stash to throw around. This was gonna be fun. Picking up one of the five she had already made, Matty then launched it at the unsuspecting Ty.
