Alright then:

"So," said Frank, "your dad's a college professor?"

"Yup," said Oto, "in fact, he teaches at Salt Lake City University."

"Wow," said Joey, "what does he teach?"

"He's a professor in archaeology," said Oto, "he says he was inspired to become an archaelogist just by watching the Indiana Jones movies!"

Everyone laughed.

"What about the rest of you," asked Lori.

"My dad's a mechanic," said Fico, "and my mom is a librarian."

"My daddy's a vet," said Anabella.

"My mom's a woodworker," said Debbie.

"My dad's a cop," said Gabi, "and my grandma's a hairdresser."

"What about your mom," asked Leni, "doesn't she have a job?"

Well, upon hearing Leni's question, Gabi's eyes started to fill up and she started to cry.

"Was it something I said," asked Leni.

Debbie then leaned into Frank's ear.

"Gabi's mother was killed in a bus accident when she was only three years old," Debbie whispered.

"Oh my gosh," said Frank, "that's terrible."

"Yeah," said Oto, "And they were really close."

Lori then hugged Gabi and rubbed her back while the latter cried into the former's chest.

"Shh," said Lori, "it's okay, Gabi, it's okay. I know exactly how you feel."

"Yeah," said Leni, "our mom died giving birth to Lisa."

"Yeah," said Lynn, "so you're not alone."

Everyone then group-hugged Gabi until she had calmed down.

"Feel better," asked Joey.

"A bit," Gabi sniveled.

"I'll be right back," said Frank.

Frank left and came back with a box of tissues, which he gave to Gabi.

"Thank you," Gabi said as she blew her nose and wiped her eyes.

"You're welcome," said Frank.

Just then, Joey smelled something.

"Hey," said Joey, "it smells like someone's grilling out."

Then, the doorbell rang.

"Who is it," said Frank.

The door opened and in came Steve, one of the Hardys and the Louds' next door neighbors.

"Hey, guys," said Steve.

However, Steve's presence caused Anabella and Gabi to do fangirl screams at Steve, which caught him completely by surprise.

"Whoa," said Steve, "man, that scared me!"

"Fans," said Frank.

"You live right next door to each other," asked Gabi.

"Yup," said Joey, "Joe and Fred live next door to us, too."

"Awesome," said Anabella.

"Anyways," said Steve, "we're having a cookout over at our place, and we were wondering if you'd like to come."

"We'd love to," said Joey.

"Great," said Steve, "see you then!"
