During family breakfast, Louis used the opportunity of everybody being together to tell them about his encounter from last night. He was so busy talking, he barely finished his meal. Luckily he was dressed for school already, or he would have been late for that, too.

His excitement was only interrupted by his father who seemed to have some issue with what he was describing. It was not exactly clear to him what could cause such a reaction. After all, it had been such a fun night! However, Louis quickly got over that disappointment, when he received encouragement from his mother, too. It helped him see that, one day, he might be a professional dancer just like the ones he had seen at the theatre.

While Emma and and Louis were happily talking about the dream, Niall felt much less so. Perhaps he was overthinking, but he could not help but linger on the thought that there was something more behind his son dancing with another boy. Suddenly, it felt like all those fears he had been repressing for so long were coming back to him, and he had no idea how to handle it.

[TRANSCRIPT]

Louis: "And when I got up to look, it was Sammy sitting there in front of me!"

Niall: "Sammy?"

Louis: "My nutcracker! And then, guess what: We danced!"

Emma: "Oh, that's lovely, Louis."

Louis: "Lovely? It was amazing! I thought I wouldn't know how, but it just worked! And it was so much fun!

Niall: "Ah- uhm, could you get your boots off the chair, boy? It isn't very good for the upholstery."

Louis: "Ugh, fine."

Emma: "Ni, he's just excited about his nutcracker story. It's alright."

Louis: "It's not a story, it really happened!"

Emma: "Oh, of course, honey."

Niall: "Aren't you worried?"

Emma: "It's only a chair, Niall."

Niall: "That's not what I-" *sigh* "The nutcracker... Sammy, he's- he's a boy, no?"

Louis: "Of course he is!"

Niall: "I see..."

Emma: "What about it? I'm sure you've had the grandest time dancing with him."

Louis: "I have! I can't wait to dance again! I definitely wanna be a real ballet dancer one day."

Emma: "I'm sure you will be."

Niall: *sigh*

Emma: "But ballet dancers have to go to school, too. Eat up, I'll walk you."
