William and Michael drove in the car to the airport entrance with the other members of their family. They got out of the car and gathered their luggage. A few hugs between relatives as they rush into the door to get security before their flight takes off.

As her husband and son made their way into the airport, a tear rolled down Mrs. Afton's cheek when she thought about how her son was growing up, and about how her husband was growing away.

While William and his son were on their flight, he tried to make some conversation with his son.

"So, how's Tristen been treating you?" William asked Michael curiously.

"Fine," Michael replied without hesitation as he raised the volume on his Walkman.

William turned away in a fatherly sadness.

"Hey Dad!" teen William called out. "Where's that book you read to me years ago? Little cousin wants to hear it!"

"Don't use that goddamn tone with me, William!" Mr. Afton yelled as he rounded the corner with a bottle in one hand and a cigar in the other, "Do I have to break another bottle?"

William cowered in front of Mr. Afton as he raised the bottle over his head and shattered it on William's collarbone. William knelt in pain as his father continued to kick him repeatedly and telling him to get up.

After 5 minutes of kicking, he kicked some glass over his son and staggered out of the room.

William looked up towards the doorframe before passing out.

Michael tapped his father's shoulder.

William popped up before rubbing his shoulder and turning to Michael who announced that the plane was landing.

When they arrived at the airport exit, Henry was there waiting.

"Welcome to the States!" Henry exclaimed, then shook William's and Michael's hands.

He continued, "The wife and I have 3 extra rooms so there's more than enough space for you guys. Take your bags and follow me."

They followed Henry to the car and drove to the Emily house.

"...You would not believe the amount of teasing my last name got me," Henry said as they arrived at the house. William paused at the front door.

"You okay, dad?" Michael asked him. William shook his head like coming out of a trance and walked through the door.

Mrs. Emily came to the foyer carrying a young girl.

"Welcome to our 'humble home'," she said as she laughed at her joke. Their house was not near humble. It was a 3-story house with 4 bedrooms and a large living room.

The Aftons thanked them for their hospitality and made their way to their rooms.

After William finished unpacking his bag, Henry called him to the dining room.

"Sit down," Henry offered. "Let's get started on signing some of the paperwork to make the business official."

William sat down and read all the paperwork. "Are you sure we need this many signatures? You Americans really like to be sure of things."

"We sure do, don't we?" Henry realized.

"Well, we have the company name, purpose, location, and type of license right? What should our motto be? From what I know, all the good American restaurants have one. What about 'Where a kid can be a kid'?"

"That seems a bit posh, doesn't it?"

"I guess. What about 'Where animals come to life'?"

"Animals are already alive."

"Okay okay", William said when an idea came to his mind, "What about, 'Where fantasy and fun come to life.'?"

Henry was amazed. "It's versatile, it's easy to say, and it's catchy! Let's use that! This is why I'm just the business man."

William wrote a few notes down. "Well partner, let's get to work."

The construction project began and would span 3 months. William handled the design while Henry handled the frame.

Parts were delivered in and out as William designed four new animatronic endoskeletons and costumes. Henry critiqued a couple of the designs as well. And Michael helped watch the baby, named Charlotte.

Soon enough the mascots and the building were complete. All that was left to do was the Grand Opening.

William watched through the front windows of the new pizzeria as Henry came up beside him.

"We did good, didn't we?" William announced with a smirk.

"We did, Afton," Henry replied while staring at the lined-up customers.

"We did."
