Dyl was late again and ended up missing his flight with Grandmother, and his twin. When he got off, he didn't seem to understand why there was a massive, darker skinned family waiting for him, holding up the sign: "Boats Family" until Aunt Fiona Diane stepped up beside them. She was lighter skinned like him and his family - and that's when he remembered, Aunt Fiona Diane married a second-generation Egyptia-n American. That meant that they were family - that was cool.

However, they all seemed tired and worried. That did not seem cool at all. Was it that they were waiting for him? Then where were Grandmother and his twin?

He watched the group warily, and they he as he continued to walk up to his aunt without acknowledging any of them that he was who they were waiting for. He walked up to his aunt, and asked, "Aunt Fiona?" Her tired face broke into a smile, as he said, "I'm Dylan, but I go by Dyl, when Grandmother isn't around." "Of course, Dyl," She smiled warmly, which then turned into a question as she looked around frantically. "But where are your grandmother and your twin?"

He looked at her in puzzlement. "They were on an earlier flight; didn't you meet at their plane? His aunt momentarily blanched then looked to an older darker skinned man of the group around her own age. In fact, he was the oldest of the group. He spoke up, "Well never mind that now. I'm your uncle. You can call me Uncle Dean. Fiona Di Dear, come sit over here. Drew, will you take over the introductions please?"

"Of course, Dad," answered a powerfully built man who seemed to be concealing his emotions well. Seemingly about 24 or 25, he held his hand out for Dyl to shake. "I'm Andrew your cousin, but you can call me Drew. This," he pointed to a well-built woman in her thirties or forties, "is our Aunt Claudia or just Aunt Dia. Though she is Dad's sister and probably no kin to you, she is constantly in our lives and will likely be in yours." The woman smiled.

Then Drew pointed to a woman about Drew's age, that looked a good deal like Drew to Dyl's surprise. "This young woman is my twin sister, Xandria, but everyone calls her Dria." "Surprised, Dyl?" Dria remarked with a grin acknowledging the look on Dyl's face - twins run in both sides of this family.

Dyl nodded. Drew then pointed to a girl about Dyl's own age, maybe a little younger, that looked similar to Drew and Dria, "This is our younger sister Danielle who goes by Dani," Dani waved. Drew gestured to the last two members of the family, two tykes in a stroller: one asleep and one looking kind of anxious. "Lastly these are Darren and Darrell or just Den and Dell, our younger twin brothers. " Dyl raised his eyebrows, and they all shrugged and laughed weakly.
