[3rd POV]
A couple of days later, Billie had gotten invited to the first "Family Get Together" where the entire Dunphy family would be in one place. Including Lily, Gloria, and Manny, who she had not met yet. She wasn't sure what the get together was for, but she was between like two different things.
Either one of them was going to be fun to be around.
The get together itself was at Mitchell and Cam's place. Which narrowed it down to one of two things.
Cam and Mitchell's announcement about adopting a new baby. Well, at least it was supposed to be. But she remembered distinctly that it did not happen normally, as they end up waiting for Lily to get older before adopting their son towards the end of the show.
Either way, she was currently on her way to their house. Haley sitting next to her in Billie's 2011 Dodge Challenger. A nice car, and one of her favorites. With Billie actually owning a few cars at this point, most of them being muscle cars or older ones.
She did have a McLaren, but that was about it in terms of modern stuff.
She preferred the older stuff.
"So, anything I should know about before we get there? You know, like warnings about certain people, things I should avoid talking about, stuff like that" Billie asked, glancing at her girlfriend as she drove.
Haley just shrugged.
"Not really to be honest. The only thing I'll say is that Manny - my...uncle - can be a rather...well, weird kid" Haley responded, trying to find the right words to describe the son of Gloria.
"Weird how?" Billie asked with a raised eyebrow, inwardly laughing at the look on her girlfriends face.
"He really really likes poems and plays for some reason. Which is fine by itself, but he takes it a bit...far. Like you know, way too far. I'm also like 90% sure that the kid is into me. Which normally would be kinda funny, if he wasn't basically family" Haley replied with a sigh, remembering the boy that had flirted with her more than once.
It was funny, but also a little...well, strange.
"And Jay hasn't tried to stop him or anything?" Billie asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh trust me, he's tried. But Manny is pretty difficult to deal with once he wants something. And he refuses to change certain parts of himself. Which would normally be kind of admirable, if that part wasn't him flirting with me" Haley responded with a sigh, knowing she might have to deal with that during this little get together.
"Hmm...alright, I'll just have to deal with it then. Oh, and everyone in your family knows who we both are, right? I just wanna know in case I've gotta explain again" Billie asked, as Haley nodded.
"They all know. If I hadn't already told Gloria and Manny, Jay would have. And it's not exactly hard to find out that I'm HD, considering we're all over the internet"
"Oh, speaking of our recent stardom, how's school going with all of this? You dealing with anything too...problematic?" Billie was only asking this because she knew how people can be, especially in the case of teenagers who have nothing better to do than bully other people.
"Besides a few people asking for me to sign stuff, nothing really. The teachers at my school have been super helpful. Which is kinda weird because they used to hate me I think" Haley said, as she realized that her teachers weren't this nice before.
Becoming a world known singer tends to do that.
Nobody wants to offend the teen that was worth millions, and knew another woman that was even more wealthy. It'd be stupid to piss her off too bad. Money was power, afterall.
"Good. And I doubt they hated you. Probably just miserable because of all the kids they have to work with every single day" Billie said, waving off her concerns about them hating her. Most teachers didn't hate any of the kids in school, they just hated the sheer amount of work they have to deal with, without getting paid what they should be.
"Well, if they did hate me then it was kind of fair to be honest. I was a bit of an asshole before I met you"
"Well I'm just glad you aren't dealing with any stupid bullshit from the rest of your classmates" Billie responded, not really sure what to say to what her girlfriend told her.
Haley noticed that her girlfriend had avoided saying a word about what she had said, and rolled her eyes, knowing why.
"Turn right here" Haley said, as Billie turned. And upon turning, they both saw the home of Mitchell and Cam in the distance. Pulling up, Billie parked on the street, making sure not to block anyone or anything, before shutting the car off and getting out.
"Any idea what this get together is about?" Billie asked, as they walked side by side towards the front door.
"No idea. It's impossible to know with Uncle Mitchell and Cam" Haley responded, inwardly hoping it wasn't anything too crazy. Like clowns or something, cause Cam really really liked clowns...for some reason.
Walking up to the front door, Billie knocked on it, waiting for the door to be opened.
"Oh, and before we go in, I apologize for anything embarrassing that you're about to see" Haley said, and before Billie could say a word, the door opened, revealing Gloria on the other side.
"Haley! You're finally here! Ah, and this must be that Billie that everyone has been talking about" Gloria said with a bright beam, her accent heavy as she looked to Billie.
"And my my, she is preciosa!" Gloria said, looking Billie over and giving her a big hug, the woman blinking in surprise before returning it, and speaking.
"También es un placer conocerte, Gloria" Billie spoke, which meant "It's nice to meet you too, Gloria" in Spanish.
Gloria's eyes widened in surprise.
"Haley, you didn't tell me she could speak Spanish!" Gloria exclaimed in surprise, the others that heard her looking equally as surprised, which was mostly Jay and Alex who looked at Billie.
Haley stared at Billie in surprise too.
"I didn't know she did either" Haley responded, giving Billie the "Look" causing her to glance away awkwardly.
"I know a few languages. Spanish, French, German, Japanese, a few more. I decided to learn them to help with my song writing process. That and I was thinking of eventually releasing music in other languages" Billie explained, with their surprise deepening.
While Alex was just staring at her with a shine in her eyes, realizing that Billie wasn't just skilled at music, she was a genius in general. She wondered if Billie knew anything beyond languages and music.
If she was good at science and mathematics too.
"Oh if you do, you have to tell me! I'll be the first to listen to it!" Gloria exclaimed, eyes sparkling at the thought.
She had started listening to Billie's music after learning that the two were dating, and found that she quite liked her music. It was...a different vibe, but it was a fun one. Haley's was also good, but it was more...normal.
That didn't make it bad or anything.
"So does anyone have a clue why Uncle Mitchell wanted us here?" Haley asked, as they all looked at one another.
"No clue kid" Jay said, imagining that it was going to be something weird or strange. Usually when Cam was involved with a family event it tended to be...unique.
He just hoped it wasn't anything too...outlandish.
