Inside,Lupita deals with a weird sense of tumoil. Did she kind of LIKE that he could scare her brothers off? well,Gaia knows Tonio was asking for it telling HER she couldn't date. Now mama or papa might be able to do that, but not her brothers.

"oh man, I am so mixed up, Why did I say yes?" She wanders off to text a friend

(Txt to Dagmar) TXT: Dirk just asked me out!

TXT: Oh god, why?

TXT: You ok?

Txt: I don't know. I don't know. I just... well, I was gona say thanks but no thanks then Tonnio opened his big mouth and said I COULDN"T Date... then after that, I don't know, Dirk SCARED him.. says it waws HIS thing? that he's like you but not? And I... I was still ticked at Tonio and kind of lost my brains and said yes

TXT: Well.. yeah. Like. If I'm strength, he's fear. Sort of?

TXT:Well, I didn't get scared, but he wasn't giving me the 'rabbit punches break your spine' talk
