So originally, I wanted to write about the Homecoming scene but ended up splicing it into 2 parts. I wanted some calm before the storm (aka when the chaos hits the ceiling) and some Family Bonding interlude. (That and introducing the Kormos Clan because some of them play a bigger role in future seasons)
Slight Warning: this chapter contains some crude humor.

It was a typical evening at the Kormos residence. If you count the siblings (and sibling-in-laws) who were in town to visit, this house is anything but peaceful and quiet.
Cressida was frantically looking for her homecoming dress (a little black dress, a classic choice) but couldn't seem to find it. The teen was just walking around her house in nothing but a bathrobe.
"HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY HOMECOMING DRESS!" Cress shouted, before making her way to her baby brother's room, "PHYRROS!!"
"It's probably lost in the hoard you collect!" One of her older brothers (Desmond) snarked from the kitchen counter, already getting ready some mocktails for family dinner.
"I do not hoard!" Cress scoffed, flipping the bird at him.
"Oh yeah? How'd you explain my missing Lord of the Rings coffee mug?" Zale deadpanned.
"Technically Phy and I broke it by accident and had to get a replacement." Cress corrected.
"It doesn't make me feel any better!" Zale grumbled under his breath.
"My leather jacket!" A woman with pink dyed hair snarked.
"It was for a Grease Costume Party! Besides, you were the one who gave me permission." Cress refuted.
"I was too drunk to approve!" Calix grumbled.
"Elliott's wrestling medal?" Christine reminded, raising an eyebrow.
"It was for a scavenger hunt." Cress looked away.
"The hand mannequins you, Cali and Tar brought and repainted to look like a horror movie hand model last Halloween!" Desmond threw in the big guns.
"Des, I told you for the last time: those things aren't possessed!" Calix scoffed, "It wasn't even THAT terrifying."
"LIES! I catch them looming in different corners of the house!" Zale exclaimed, shuddering in horror. "I just saw one in the bathroom earlier!"
"It's like a creepier version of the Elf on a Shelf!" Desmond agreed, nodding his head.
"Phy! Come on out!" Cress started knocking at her brother's door.
"Hold on Sebby," Phyrros was talking on the phone inside, before he playfully declared, "I'M PANSEXUAL!"
"We know and we support you for it, my little flóga (Greek translation for 'Flame')" Olive called out in response.
"Talk to you later. Good luck at Homecoming, Seb." Phyrros ended his call, before popping his head out of his room, "I'm doing some alterations for your dress, Sid!"
"Aww, Phyrros!" Cress beamed when she saw the final product.
"You can't rush art, darling." Phyrros grinned, gesturing to the lovely dress, "I added some sparkly tulle around the skirt."
