?: STOP!

I: Dad!
Dad: What does that guy do here?!? And what...were you doing?!?
L: We're just working on a song.
Dad: Didn't look like that...is that guy your boyfriend?
I: He-
Dad: At least better than Diego.
I: What?!
Dad: Nothing, nothing. So is he your boyfriend?
L: No, I'm-
I: Yes, that's him. Dad, that's Leon. Leon, that's my dad.
L: ?!?
I: I know, you didn't want to get to know my dad this way, but we can't change it.
Dad: Ehm...nice to meet you.
L: Nice to meet you too...Violetta, could I takto you for a sec? Alone?
Dad: Ehm, I'm going to the kitchen.
*German leaves*
L: Violetta, what have you just done?!?
I: Ehm, I'm sorry, Leon, but my dad hates Diego and if I tell him that he's my boyfriend, he'll freak out and he won't let me see Diego ever again. 
L: And you think your dad likes me more than Diego or what?
I: Like you just have seen, yes!
L: And now I have to act that I'm your boyfriend in front of him?!?
I: Only in front of him, really, ehm...please, would you do that for me?
L: For you always.
I: Thank you!
*Violetta hugs Leon*
*German comes*
Dad: Oh...am I disturbing?
I: No, of course not...ehm, Leon, I think you should go home now.
L: Ehm, okay, bye.
Dad: No, Leon, wait! Why don't you stay for dinner?
I: I think Leon has got stuff to do, dad.
L: No, I don't have other plans for today.
Dad: Great! Then you eat with us dinner?
L: Sure!
Dad (shouts): Olga! Prepare a bit more food today!
Olga (shouts): Okay!
*German goes to the kitchen where Olga is*
I: Leon?!?
L: Don't you think it woud be strange if I said no?
I: No, I don't think so.
L: As your boyfriend I gotta get to know your family.
I: But you're not my real boyfriend.
L: But I should be acting like one or not?
I: Ehm, yes...
*German comes*
Dad: I'm here again! While Olga is preparing dinner, we should do something. Why don't we sing a song all together?
L: Great idea!
I: Fine. Which song?
Dad: I don't know.
L: How about en mi mundo?
Dad: Okay.

 I: Ahora sabes que
Yo no entiendo lo que pasa
Sin embargo se
Nunca hay tiempo para nada.

*Diego comes in but nobody notices him*

I+L: Pienso que no me doy cuanta
Y le doy mil y una vueltas
Mis dudas me cansaron
Ya no esperare

I+L+Dad: Y vuelvo a despertar
En mi mundo
Siendo lo que soy
Y no voy a parar
Ni un segundo
Mi destino es hoy
Y vuelvo a despertar
En mi mundo
Siendo lo que soy
Y no voy a parar
Ni un segundo
Mi destino es hoy

Dad: Wow, Leon, you're voice is very nice.
L: Thank you.
*Olga comes*
Olga: The dinner is prepared. 
I: Let's go and eat!
*Violetta takes Leon's hand and they go to the dining table and sit next to each other*

*Diego leaves (and again nobody notices him)*

Dad: So, Leon, how did you first meet Vilu?
L: She sat there with Diego and then I came to them.
Dad: And why did you go to them?
L: Diego is my cousin and I'm staying here whole summer to visit him.
Dad: And then you leave?
L: Probably. I'm not sure about it.
I: So there's a chance tha you stay?
L: Ehm, yes, but I probably go back to the rest of my family.
Dad: And where is 'the rest of your family'?
L: In Mexico.
Dad: Oh...Leon, you should just know one thing. If you hurt my daughter, something will hurt you too.
L: ...what?!?
I: Dad! Eh, Leon, his jokes aren't very funny.
Dad: That wasn't a joke.
I: It was. Anyways.
Dad: And Vilu, what happened to you and Diego? I thought you ehm, liked him.
I: That was before I met Leon.
Dad: So Leon changed your feelings for Diego?
I: Ehm, yes, kinda.
Dad: Leon, I'm really starting to like you.
Olga: If you just sit there and don't eat, the food will be cold!
Dad: Okay, okay, we'll eat now.
*They eat dinner*
L: I think I have to go now, it's pretty late. Thank you for dinner.
Dad: Thank you for eating with us. We should do that again.
L: Yes, good night.
I: I'll take Leon to the door.
*Leon and Violetta go to the door*
I: Thank you, Leon.
L: For what?
I: That. I think my father really likes you.
L: My pleasure.
I: So we see us again tomorrow?
L: Yes, good night.
I: Good night.
*Leon kisses Vilu's cheek and leaves*
I: So, dad, do you really like Leon or was that just acting?
Dad: I think he's a really nice guy.
I: I thought you hate every boy that talks to me. And now you like the boy I'm dating. 
Dad: Like I said, he's a really nice guy. 
I: Ehm...okay...good night.
Dad: Good night.

(The next day, at the studio)
I: Hey, Diego!
D: ...
I: Are you okay?
D: Do you really wanna know that? Why don't you just go to Leon and talk to him?
I: He isn't here yet.
D: Argh, Violetta! 
I: Why are you so angry!
D: I...why did you sing with your dad and Leon a song together last night?
I: I and Leon finished the song, my dad came and he invited Leon to eat dinner with us. So what?
D: I don't think your dad would invite a boy to eat dinner with you.
I: But he did. He kind of likes Leon...
D: And he likes him?!?
*Leon comes*
L: Hey!
I: Hi!
D: Leon,  think we need to talk. Alone.
I: Diego, i won't go away. If you have to tell something to Leon, tell me too. I'm sure it's about last night or isn't it?
L: About last night?
I: He was there.
L: How do you mean that 'he was there'?
I: He watched us.
L: Diego, did you seiously look after us?
D: Yes.
L: Why?
D: I just wanted to visit Vilu. I thought you would already have finished with the song at that time.
L: And what do you want to talk about?
D: ...Vilu, could you please go away? It's important.
I (looks to Leon): Should I?
D: Why do you ask him about that?!?
L: It's okay.
*Violetta leaves*

Author's POV

L: You're jealous.
D: Of you? Never.
L: You are. You seriously think that I can take Vilu away from you, don't you?
D: No.
L: I could. 
D: No, Vilu only loves me.
L: Are you sure about that?
D: Yes. And I don't think that you will sing that song with us.
L: And what do you want to do about it? Kick me out of the studio?
D: Exactly.
L: Good luck then. 

*Leon leaves*
*Diego goes to Pablo*
D: Can I talk to you for a minute?
P: Yes, sure, what's it?
D: Look, I know that it was my idea that Leon is here in the studio but he doesn't work with me and Vilu on the song and he always insults me when we're alone. It's that he likes my girlfriend, Violetta. Yesterday evening he kicked me. Look at that.
P: Oh...did you go to the doctor's?
D: Not yet, but I go there this afternoon.
P: He won't go to the studio anymore. He's suspended. I'll tell him that and you better go to the doctor's!

*Pablo goes to Leon (which stands there with Violetta)*
P: Leon, I can't believe you did that to Diego. You're suspended.
L: What?!? What did I do?!?
V: Leon never would have done anything to Diego!
P: Oh, really, and why is Diego injured?
V: What?!? 
L: I never did anything to Diego!
P: Sorry, Leon, but you have to leave the studio now.
L: ...
*Leon leaves*
*Pablo leaves*
*As Violetta wants to follow Leon, Diego comes*
V: What do you want?
D: Are you really on the side of that guy?!? He hurt me! 
V: I can't believe that he did something to you. Leon would never do something like that.
D: And why are you so sure about that?
V: Because I know that Leon isn't like that. He isn't like you.
D: And what do you want to say with that?
V: It's over!
?: What do you mean with that?
V: Dad!
German: ...I don't understand...Isn't Leon your boyfriend?
D: WHAT?!?
V: The truth is...Diego was my boyfriend.
German: And who is Leon then?
V: A friend.
German: And you both lied to me?!?
V: It isn't Leon's fault, I knew that you don't like Diego and you didn't know you my boyfriend was so I said Leon because you seemed to like him and I knew that if I said that Diego was my boyfriend, you wouldn't let me see him. But now it's over.
German: You come home with me. NOW!
V: But dad, I got class!
German: Looks like you won't go to the studio the next days.
V: WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS OVERREACTING?!?
German: Overreacting? Looks like you won't leave the house for the next weeks!
V: DAD! WHY?!? JUST WHY?!?
German: I can't stand when you lie to me and I think that you need to learn to trust me so we'll spend more time together.
V: And of course I only may spend time with you and never with other people. Just leave me alone.
German: No, you come with me! 
*German takes Violetta home*
