Hello everyone and welcome back to the Love Legacy!
So, it looks like Spooky Day has come...and with it many more important events: Toby's leaving for University again and Catherine's having birthday! Plus the other kids are planning a mysterious trip to some haunted house...
Welcome to the Halloween Special part 1!
Rise and shine people, a new day has come! Bringing along many changes in the Loves' lives....
Morning Catherine! Ready for the big day? ^_^
Catherine: oh yes! I can't wait to grow up!
Great ^_^ So what are you waiting for?
Catherine: I'm scared to go downstairs...
And why is that?
Catherine: I'm scared of the questions all my family might ask! About Jay, you know...
Oh yes, I know :)
Catherine: I hardly managed to escape last night! They kept asking awkward questions...and it looks like my mum and dad don't like him, but how can they? They don't even know him! Just because he's a bit older...
Catherine: ....besides, for the records, we're just friends!
Oh please, tell someone else, I know better!
Catherine: well, I don't understand him, do you? Like, yesterday, when we were on the houseboat...there was a moment....
Yes?
Catherine: there was a moment when I thought that we would kiss! And then when I thought that was it, he just moved away and changed attitude and told me to leave...weird much?!
I know....
Catherine: but then, there he is, right here! With my family scaring him away and everything...why would he come back, if he wasn't at least slightly interested? And screw that excuse of the only costume party he was invited to...
Catherine: and hey, first he's annoyed that everybody thinks he's my boyfriend of some kind...and then he says he's my prince charming and asks me to dance! And, grand finale, he hugs me! He had never done this before! It must mean something...or am I just indulging on brain movies?
No you're not...but I can't help here, he is indeed behaving very strangely...I guess the only means to find out what's passing through is head is...ask him!
Catherine: and you think that's easy?
Nope, but I'm sure you'll find a way ;)
Catherine: uhm...hopefully I won't need to ask...
What do you mean by that?
Catherine: nothing, I'll better get changed now and face the awkward questioning downstairs...but after that, I'll blow my candles and I'll be free to do whatever I want! Even to stay out at night if I wish! Aaah freedom...
Cath...what are you planning?
Catherine: come on let's get this birthday thing done!
Catherine: er....morning dad, Alice...
Arni: morning kiddo! Ready for the big day?
Catherine: uhm...yeah...
Arni: listen, about yesterday night...
Catherine: ....
Arni: I'm sorry we put so much pressure on you with all those questions...it's just...we were a bit worried, you had never brought anyone home before and...this guy just looked...well, a bit...well, not your kind of guy exactly...
Catherine: and how do you know what my kind of guy is?
Arni: I don't, really, but we do want the best for you...and of course you should make your own choices...
Catherine: exactly!
Arni: of course, but we just....we just want you to be happy....
Catherine: thank you daddy...
Arni: and safe...so please...just be careful okay?
Arni: And give your old daddy a hug...I think I'll never get over the fact that you're all growing up...but you'll be daddy's little princess forever!
Catherine: oh dad....
Shameka: awww that's so cute! I heard there's a birthday today so I came to congratulate my grand daughter!
Catherine: thank you, ghost granny...
Alice: and it's when eating your breakfast with your ghost grandmother feels normal that you realize you're a true member of the Love legacy...
June: hey birthday girl!
Catherine: hey mum...
June: ready to blow your candles?
Catherine: ready...
June: look, about yesterday...I feel we kinda scared your friend away...
Catherine: it's okay mum, dad said you both are sorry already...
June: what?
Arni: er---
June: *whispers* I thought you were meant to tell her to stop seeing that guy!
Catherine: ......
Arni: *cough cough* so, Kitty baby! When do you want to blow your candles?
Catherine: mum, I'm sorry you don't like Jay, but I think I can choose who to see and who not to see without your help, thank you...
June: I'm sorry kid, I know that but I can't help it! There's something about that guy...
Catherine: you think he's old, but he's not! He's like Toby!
June: he...I don't know, the smirk on his face...it makes me want to punch him!
Arni: June, relax...
Catherine: well, thanks for your honesty mum....and I want to be very honest with you...I don't want to lie to you, so it's pointless to tell you that I won't be going to see him again, because I am.
Catherine: so, I'm sorry if you don't like him, which by the way I think you can't know since you don't know him, but I do like him so we'll still be friends.
June: just friends? You keep saying that but you two didn't exactly look as friends to me...
Catherine: well, that's what we are. At the moment at least.
June: *sighs* I think you've made your point clear. As you've always done...But at least you're an honest girl, that's good. Thanks for not lying to us, even though we might not like the truth...
Catherine: I don't like lies. It's just a stupid thing to do, I think. But if things go well, which I hope, maybe you'll see more of Jay...and maybe you'll learn to like him!
June: *sighs* well, I shall try at least....since it seems I can't do anything about it anyway....
Catherine: good, so, now, you get dressed and I'll take my cake out! I want to have enough time to celebrate before Toby leaves...honestly why did I even bother to put my clothes on if everybody else is wearing sleeping outfit...
June: so, I think that's it...
Arni: don't look at me like that, June...you knew there was no way to persuade her! She's like that, she wants to take her own decisions...for the best and the worse!
June: but this one is obviously for the worse...
Arni: you can't say that...it's true, we don't really know him! Maybe we should trust our daughter's judgement! Even though we can't understand what she sees in him...
June: I do! That's the thing, I know what she sees in him! She sees exactly what I saw in Markus...the vampire, remember?
Arni: but this guy's not a vampire! He can't hypnotize her!
June: I was attracted to Markus before he started using hypnosis on me...
Arni: oh please, I really don't want to hear that!
June: really, it's important, I think that's why I dislike that guy so much...I see how Catherine looks at him...I see what she sees in him...she is like I was! And he is dark and mysterious and obscure as he was...I fear for her!
Arni: I understand that honey, but as I said, he's not a vampire, he can't do anything bad to her!
June: he can break her heart, Arni...
June: oh, Lumi, my Lumi, what should I do?
Lumikki: .... [a little bit to the right...there...oh yes, now scratch the other side please!]
June: I can't just stay here watching bad things happening to my girl...but I can't stop her from making her choices...what should I do? I do feel that guy is trouble...
Lumikki: wof! [there there, a big doggy hug and you'll feel better!]
Just a little interruption to comment on weird behaviours Loves have while showering.
#1: Tobias showers with his swimming trunks. Oh yeah, he has the never nude trait. I never remember that! Anyway, weird!
#2 and this is even weirder: Michael shaves his hair every time he bathes.
Michael: any problem with that?
Well, you tell me! Anyway, now back to the main storyline...
Arni: June, I think it's time now, we should get ready for Catherine's party...
June: not just yet, I'm doing a hot stone massage here...
Arni: I know, and it feels wonderful but...I think she will be upset if we're late...
June: rubbish...besides, if this massage is great...think about woohooing on the massage table!
Arni: WHAT! Oh you naughty wife *giggles*
Erm erm, I said, BACK TO THE MAIN STORYLINE!
Catherine: mum! There you are! What kept you?
June: nothing dear, we're ready to celebrate your birthday! Ouch...
Catherine: what's that? Why do you have backache?
June: darn massage table...
Catherine: what?
June: nothing darling...oh look!
June: your brother's here! Woo hoo!
Catherine: uhm...mum? Where's dad?
June: happy birthday sweetheart!
Michael: I think they've been naughty in the sauna room...again!
June: you're sooo grounded...
Catherine: oh please! I'm trying not to grow up with a trauma here!
Tobias: yay! Happy birthday sister!
Catherine: now, what should I wish for....
I think we all know what she wished for ;)
Catherine: yay! I'm growing up! At last!
Catherine: oh the sparkles!
Catherine: ooh what a lovely feeling....
Catherine: ta dah!
Catherine: How do I look?
Catherine got the sense of humour trait and the lifetime wish to be a forensics specialist - dynamic DNA profiler! Uh wait, what?
June: you look great baby!
Amy: woo hoo! More cake!
Catherine: really?
June: really, you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen! And that guy...Jay...he's lucky to have you...as long as he behaves!
Catherine: wow, thanks mum...
Arni: I can't believe my baby girl has grown up! Does it mean...I'm getting old too? No way!
Tobias: mum...has dad been going through a midlife crisis lately?
June: oh yes he has...
Amy: I love cake!
Michael: so, Toby...when are you gonna leave?
Tobias: I didn't think you would want me out of the house so quickly little bro!
Michael: I don't! It's just...I need to go with Amy and Alice to that haunted house this afternoon and I was wondering if we would see you when we come back or not...
Michael: now that I think of it, I'm not sure of when we will be back...
Amy: early if it's borning, late if it's exciting!
Michael: but it's a very grey and rainy day...I wouldn't want to stay out much!
Tobias: but anyway I think we'd better say goodbye before you go...
Arni: so sad you're leaving already son, but I'm happy for your new adventure! Or well, it's second round!
June: yeah, and you must say hi to Scarlette from us! We do want to know her when you're back, okay?
Tobias: sure, but I'm not leaving now! We still have some time...
Arni: we're gonna miss you, son!
Michael: yeah, I'll definitely miss my big brother!
Tobias: hey, why don't we all take a picture together?
June: a picture? No way, I think I just gained extra pounds with this cake!
Alice: but I'd love to have a picture with my brothers and sisters!
Catherine: well, that sounds like a nice idea indeed!
June: but I definitely can't be in it...maybe I'll take it! I'll take a picture of my beautiful kids to hang on the fireplace!
Tobias: so cool! I want a copy though, to take with me at Uni!
Amy: I don't like it that big brother is leaving again...and that big sister is too old to play with us now...life just sucks!
And here's the Love kids + dog family portrait!
A small version of it was placed on the fireplace...
...while a panoramic view of it now hangs on the only large enough wall to host it :D There's also another copy in June&Arni's bedroom!
It took two crashes before I got all the pictures done, up on the walls and saved, but I'm happy with the result :D
Bonehilda: hey doggy, sit and you get a bone!
Lumikki: uhm...do I get to choose the one I want?
Amy: why do we need to get our homework done now! I thought it was about time to leave for Catherine's graduation!
Michael: in a while...besides, if you want to go to the haunted house afterwards, you need to get your homework done beforehand!
And finally it was time to attend Catherine's graduation day at school!
I apologize for the weird clothes but due to the huge amount of crashes I've been experiencing I preferred not to change their formal wear...to avoid yet another crash!
Catherine: yeeess I'm graduating! I can't believe it! Woo hoo! Good bye homework and study, now I'm free to do what I like best!!
Arni: uhm...and for some reason I'm not sure I like how that sounds...
Catherine: so, everybody in the car?
Alice: yep!
Catherine: Where are mum, Michael and Amy?
Arni: in the car trunk!
Catherine: oh, alright, we can go then....
Wait, what?! O_o
Tobias: Catherine...I didn't know you had learnt to drive!
Catherine: I haven't! Come on let's goooooo!
Catherine: thank you so much for being here with me, all of you together, it means a lot!
Alice: can we go in now? I'm freezing here!
Catherine finally got her diploma and was voted as the one who's most likely to earn millions!
Catherine: at last!
Catherine: woo hoooooo!!!!
Random paparazzi girl: hey you, wait!
Alice: and who's this girl now?
Random paparazzi girl: are you the famous Tobias Love?
Tobias: uhm...I didn't know I was famous but...yeah!
Random paparazzi girl: OMG OMG OMG! I just got my job as a paparazzi...and my first task is to take a few pictures of you for our gossip magazine...would you mind posing for me? And maybe...have coffee after that?
Arni: don't you dare seduce my son!
Tobias: er...that sounds flattering really, but I can't do that, sorry! I don't think my girlfriend would approve...besides, I'm just about to leave so, bye!
Random paparazzi girl: but...just a tiny picture? A selfie together maybe?
Michael: give it a break, stranger!
Amy: wow, girls can be soooo annoying!
Michael: so...I guess it's time we say goodbye now...
Amy: I don't want you to leave again, Toby!
Tobias: aww don't worry baby sis, I'll be back before you know it!
Arni: we'll all gonna miss you, son...
June: bring our greetings to Scarlette!
Michael: oh yeah, and tell her I can't wait to meet her! Have fun in Uni, big bro!
Catherine: same for me! Bring her back for Snowflake Day, maybe?
Tobias: hopefully I will!
Catherine: good...
Tobias: hey, be good okay?
Catherine: of course!
Tobias: send my greetings to your new friend and...be careful okay?
Catherine: okay okay...dad...*giggles*
Tobias: oh stop it, I just want to know you're happy and safe!
Catherine: don't worry, I will be!
June: I can't believe he's leaving again...the house is gonna be so empty without him! Hopefully we can be all reunited for Snowflake Day...it would be lovely...
Amy: so...I think we did everything we had to do now...Catherine's birthday, homework, Catherine's graduation, goodbye to Toby....can we go to the haunted house now?
Michael: of course! Let's wear our costumes and go!
Alice: I did hope they had forgotten...
Catherine: hey, you know what? I think I'm gonna come with you...
Alice: really?!
Catherine: yeah, not to the haunted house though, but I'll walk with you till...well, for a part of the road!
Alice: and where are you going next?
Catherine: I think I'll accept a friend's invitation for a Spooky Day party...
Amy: *whispers* which means, she's going to see her hot-dog friend!
Michael: hehehehe
Amy: wow, sister, what costume is that?
Catherine: uhm...witchy vampire dark kind of thing?
Michael: wow, completely different from the pretty princess we saw yesterday!
Catherine: oh...do you mean I don't look pretty now?
Michael: oh yes you do...just a different kind of pretty!
Alice: come on let's go...the sooner we get this haunted house done, the better! I can't wait to be home to read the last chapter of my book!
Amy: you're weird, sis...
Catherine: well, guys, I think this is where our ways part...
Michael: are you sure you're gonna be okay? It's kinda dark down there...
Catherine: don't worry, it won't take long to get...where I need to be...
Alice: come on, you can tell us, we all know you're going to see Jay!
Catherine: bye guys, have fun!
Amy: you too *giggles*
Alice: come on, let's go, I don't like to be in the dark...
Catherine: .....I don't think I've ever been as nervous as I am now...but it's going to be now or never!
*knocks on door*
Jay: ....Catherine?
Catherine: trick or treat?
Jay: .....
Catherine: Jay?
Jay: ....yes?
Catherine: it's Spooky Day Jay! So, trick or treat?
Jay: .....
Catherine: ...uh...Jay?
Catherine: You al-----
.......
Catherine: ---right....Jay...you....
Jay: you are so beautiful Catherine...happy birthday, by the way...
Catherine: thank you....
Jay: wanna come in?
Catherine: yes....please...
Jay: Cath, listen, I...
Catherine: don't say anything Jay...just kiss me again...will you?
.....
Amy: there we are! Oh, it's raining...
Alice: and there is Mark...but where is everyone else?
Michael: uhm...this place is spooky...
Amy: hey Mark!
Mark: at last! I was freaking out here!
Michael: where is everyone else?
Mark: they chickened out when they saw the place for real...just a bunch of cowards!
Michael: well I don't blame them...this place...gives me the chills!
Mark: well, let's go in and see what it's like inside! I think there is supposed to be a party going on...they'll have food and hot drinks hopefully...I'm so cold!
Alice: guys, guys! Wait for me, I don't like this place at all!
Michael: uhm....
Michael: are you sure this is a children attraction? It looks more like a real graveyard to me...
Mark: a graveyard? Like...with real...graves?
Alice: I knew coming here wasn't a good idea, I knew it!
Amy: hey, and what is this place? A super tomb?
Alice: I think it's a mausoleum...
Mark: maybe....maybe there are catacombs underneath us...oh my, that's creepy...I mean, er... cool!
Mark: come here guys, look! This tombstone says the guy lying here died of drowning...do you think...there's a real body here or is it all fake? *whispers* I do hope it's fake....
Michael: whatever, we need to get inside to find out...if there's really a party going on, maybe it's all fake...if there isn't...well....
Alice: well?
Michael: then I'm happy I came with you...
Amy: don't say that bro...do you mean...it can be dangerous?
Mark: don't worry, I'll protect you and your sister!
Amy: how, with your inflatable orange muscles? *giggles*
Mark: don't tease me...one day I will have real muscles, you'll see!
Michael: come on, let's go knocking at that door!
Catherine: Jay...
Jay: yes?
Catherine: I lo--
Jay: no, wait, don't say it Cath!
Catherine: why? It's true!
Jay: you don't really know me Cath...
Jay: Catherine, we need to talk...
Catherine: about what!
Jay: Cath...before taking this to a further level...there are things you have the right to know...but I'm not ready to tell you yet, and I'm not sure if I'll ever be ready....Cath, I'm sorry, but I don't know if I can do this...but believe me, it's for your own good, I don't want to hurt you...
Catherine: what! What exactly are you trying to say, Jay? And hurting me? You're doing it right now! Jay this has to stop, you're killing me here!
Jay: See? I told you...you're going to get hurt and I don't want that...
Catherine: Jay stop it, now! One moment you like me, the next you don't care. One moment you kiss me, and it's you who started it by the way, the next you tell me you can't do this! What's going on Jay? Stop playing with my feelings! It hurts! Whatever the issue is, let's get it solved now, one way or another, because I can't take anymore of this Jay!
Jay: I know....I'm so sorry Cath, the last thing I want is hurting you....
Catherine: so what's your issue? Tell me Jay...please...
Jay: argh why can't people just understand! You need to stay away from me, and I can't do this because...I care too much! I'm trying to protect you Catherine...and I'm just an idiot!
Catherine: no you're not. And I'm not people, I'm... me. Besides, I don't need to be protected, I just need to know the truth!
Jay: please, stay away from me Cath...you deserve someone better...someone who can give you what I can't give you...some decent guy who would never hurt you or hide anything from you...someone your family approves...
Catherine: yeah maybe...
Jay: ...yes...
Catherine: but I want you Jay...
Jay: you don't know what you're saying, you don't really know me!
Catherine: then allow me to!
Jay: I...I can't! I told you, there are things...in my past...I'm not ready to talk about...yet...or ever...but if you choose to be with someone and to care for someone you should not have dark secrets...I don't want to keep secrets from you but...I just can't tell you...
Catherine: and I don't need to know now, Jay...I can wait...
Jay: Catherine...
Catherine: I like you Jay, very much. Whatever happened in your past is past, I care about the present and I like you in this present. I want to be your present...and future...maybe...
Jay: but I can't give you what you want!
Catherine: I just want to be close to you...even though there are things you can't tell me now, it's fine...I will be here if you ever feel like talking...I trust you Jay!
Jay: Catherine...my sweet Catherine...I don't deserve you...I'm a bad person Cath!
Catherine: no you're not! Stop saying that, Jay!
Jay: you're letting your judgement be obscured by your feelings Cath, but if you were rational you would see that...
Catherine: excuse me, I do trust my judgement you know! Besides, you said I should be more confident! Are you taking that back now?
Jay: no of course not...but---
Catherine: Do you like me Jay? Do you feel something for me?
Jay: .....
Jay: I do Cath...since we first met...I decided I would wait for you to grow up but there were times when I just...couldn't stop myself! I'm sorry if I hurt you, I didn't mean to...
Catherine: good. And how about now?
Jay: now?
Catherine: yes, what shall we do now? You like me, I like you....Now that things are clearer and we know what we're getting ourselves into...
Jay: but you can't know Cath, you---
Catherine: I'm old enough to know what I want, Jay. I already made my choice but I don't want to push you...The choice is yours now, do you want me to stay? Or do you want me to go?
Michael: *knock knock* Hello? Anyone inside?
Alice: can we go home? Please?
Grim Reaper: who's disturbing the peace and quiet of my manor?
Michael: er...
Amy: oh my goodness! It's the Grim Reaper! Let's run!
Michael: er...hello there...uhm...
Grim Reaper: yes?
Mark: we...we just wanted to know...if...
Grim Reaper: come on guys, I don't have the whole night, my favourite soap's on!
Michael: we were just wondering if we came to the right place...we've been told there's a party going on here...but of course, if you're the host, you do have one cool costume! You almost freaked me out!
Grim Reaper: costume? What costume? And no, no party here that I know of...I think there's one going on in the other spooky house...the one at the end of the road you know...that's where all the kids went to!
Mark: great, we got to the wrong place!
Grim Reaper: but since you're here and the weather is terrible tonight, I think you can be my guests tonight! Come on in, make yourself at home, I'll be with you as soon as the 99999999th episode of The Bold and the Simful is over!
Alice: he was not...the real Grim Reaper...was he? This is all fake, isn't it?
Mark: well, if he was the real one...he has very bad taste for TV programs!
Mark: come on, let's go explore the place before he comes back!
Alice: no wait... it's not safe! Amy, come back!
Amy: don't you worry sis, you stay with big brother wile we go explore upstairs!
Amy: so? What now?
Mark: this way...
Mark: look, there's a bedroom here! With flowery linen...do you think it really belongs to the Reaper? He does have weird tastes!
Amy: aww a teddy bear!
Mark: and where are we now?
Amy: I think we're in the attic...so many boxes! what do you think they were used for?
Amy: and oh, look! A nursery!
Mark: and a room with a bell and a library...weird, isn't it?
Alice: Michael, I'm scared, I don't think we should explore...let's just wait for Amy and Mark to come back...
Michael: oh don't worry baby sis...it's okay! We got to the wrong house but the landlord seemed friendly!
Alice: how can you be sure he's not the real Grim Reaper?
Michael: because we're still alive? If we had really stepped into the house of the real Grim Reaper, he would have killed us, wouldn't he?
Alice: uhm...maybe he wants to keep us alive for some reason!
Michael: nah, you read too many books sis...
Amy: Alice, Michael! Come here, quick!
Alice: oh my, Amy! Are you okay?
Amy: yes! Come here look what we just found in the attic!
Michael: it's a room...with a bell? And a book case...
Alice: ooooh a book case!
Alice: wow, so many books! Do you think I can read one?
Amy: sis, these books are not for reading...we think there's a door concealed behind this bookcase!
Michael: how do you know?
Mark: when I leant on it it moved a bit...but I couldn't open it! Maybe you should try Michael...you're stronger than us...
Michael: uhm let me see....
Michael: oh yes! Look! It's moving!
Mark: it's opening!
Amy: we found a secret passage!!!! So cool!!!!
Mark: I wonder where it leads...
Michael: no idea, it's too dark, I can't see a thing!
Alice: maybe it's better we just closed that door...there must be a reason if the passage was concealed, and I don't want to know what it is...
Amy: don't be a scaredy cat sis! Let's go in to find out!
Alice: I don't think it's a good idea, Amy...I have a bad feeling...
Amy: oh shut up Alice and let's go! This is soooo exciting!
To be continued.....
I hope you liked the chapter ^_^ It was supposed to be released on Halloween but I experienced sooooo many crashes last week T_T Part 2 of the Halloween special coming the soonest possible :)
