Location: Vale Penthouse – Sunday Night
It started with snacks.
Then came music.
Then came chaos.
Pillows on the floor. Card games on the coffee table. Everyone in oversized hoodies or silk sleepwear. Candles flickered from the kitchen. Laughter echoed from every corner.
The first sleepover of the group.
Scene: Vale Sibling Energy Unleashed
Azra was already two rounds into a ruthless game of "Never Have I Ever," and somehow still undefeated.
Liora had dragged Isla into a TikTok dance that spiraled into three minutes of breathless wheezing.
Caelan, cornered by Jace and Noah, was trying—and failing—to maintain his usual calm while losing a third straight match of Cards Against Humanity.
Jace: "You're good at psychology, bro. But your humor? Sad."
Caelan (dry): "I'm going to psychologically dismantle you in your sleep."
Zaria: "I'm recording that threat for vibes."
Scene: A Ping from the System Console
A soft alert blinked on the kitchen holoscreen.
Incoming Call: VALE HOUSEHOLD – FAMILY NET CHANNEL
Accept?
Azra hit 'YES' before Caelan could even blink.
"About time they checked in."
Scene: Group Call – Parents + Uncles
The screen lit up—
Damon, relaxed in a silk robe, leaning back with a drink.
Nova, curled up beside him, scrolling through her tablet.
Arielle, already laughing as the camera focused.
Elina, glowing, sipping herbal tea like a queen.
Zeke and Rico, flanking the group with matching shades indoors.
Liora: "This is the most dramatic movie poster I've ever seen."
Zeke (grinning): "We're thinking about dropping an album."
Rico: "We call ourselves The Unproblematic Elders."
Azra: "Stop. Please. My skin is crawling."
Damon (smirking): "Is that my McLaren in the background?"
Caelan: "Was. It's mine now. Your fault for disappearing."
Nova: "Let him have it. I like Liora's taste better anyway."
Elina: "Isla, Selene, Zaria, Noah, Jace—hi, darlings. Lovely to see you. Behaving?"
Selene (with rare softness): "Trying to."
Isla: "They've been amazing."
Jace: "Mostly. Except Azra threatened my eyebrows earlier."
Azra: "Deserved."
Scene: Beach Trip Warning (Undercover Style)
Arielle: "We might see you at the beach trip."
Nova (grinning): "But incognito."
Zeke: "We'll be your cool distant relatives."
Rico: "No one's gonna believe we're your parents anyway. We still look twenty-one."
Caelan: "If anyone flirts with our mom again, I'm pushing them in the ocean."
Azra: "If they flirt with Dad, I might let it slide. Drama is fun."
Damon: "Azra."
Liora: "You're all impossible. Can we do movie night on the beach?"
Elina: "Yes, and we're bringing the projector."
Scene: Ending the Call – Quiet Smiles
The screen dimmed. The laughter faded into gentle silence.
The group was quieter now.
Zaria curled into a pillow. Noah stretched out. Selene smiled faintly into her tea.
And the siblings?
They just looked at each other—this unspoken knowing between them.
They were raised by legends.
But right now?
They were just kids having fun.
Final Scene: Midnight Vibes
Liora, curled in the corner seat, whispered:
"This feels like home."
Azra threw a pillow at her, smiling.
Caelan leaned back, watching them all drift into that perfect kind of silence—the kind filled with warmth.
And on the table sat the folder labeled:
"BEACH HOUSE – FINAL OFFER."
