you got invited to a BIG birthday party. It’s your grandpas 80th birthday and everyone was invited (your whole family). Since you and Billie have been dating and your parents don’t seem to have a big problem with her so you took her as your plus one

Billie was madding excited to meet everyone, even tho the language might be a barrier (idc yall Russian now). The younger ones (or all your cousins) are obviously fluent English and Russian while the uncles and aunts..yeah not so. But Billie didn’t care she wanted to make a good impression

at the party venue there were group desks meaning roughly 6-8 people at one table. You sat with her at the “young adult” table or whatever with your 2 cousins and their partner.

so far Billie thinks she’s making good impression. Your cousins definitely like her for her socializing around here. Then random people were chosen to play a little party game. Ofc Billie and your cousins were chosen

billie had no idea what’s going on cuz..well she ain’t Russian. But your cousin helped her out and it was just a dumb game where one alcohol type is mentioned and with what Russian “snack” it with. Like vodka and pickle (goated btw)

after that Billie sat back down grinning proudly

“Did you see me?? I was so good! I think I got most of it right!”

she didn’t. But shh, don’t break her little heart. And your cousins chuckled along
