HedwigTheWhite's Legacies: The Love Legacy

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Love Legacy!

Last time we followed Trystan's adventures at school and had to say goodbye to beloved Lumikki (still crying btw!). Now it looks like it's time for Generation 4 first born Aneira to move the first steps into teen age! Are you ready? The Loves welcome you to yet another (crazy) family party! :D

Trystan: I just love this new hobby of mine...

Trystan: inventing stuff is sooo cool!!!! Besides, it allows me some precious alone time... only plumbob knows how much I need it these days!

Aneira: hey Trys!

Trystan: I jinxed... I knew it....

Aneira: so... this is your secret lab then!

Trystan: it's not a secret lab, Annie... it's an inventing room!

Aneira: whatever you want to call it...

Aneira: Trys, we're all waiting for you, can you stop doing.... whatever you're doing... and join us in the living room?

Trystan: do I really have to?

Aneira: unfortunately for you yes, you have to! It's my birthday for plumbob's sake!

Aneira: and please don't tell me that it's because of----

Trystan: of course not! I told you a million times, I can handle it!

Aneira: good. Because really, I do understand but you can't ruin your life you know, otherwise you'll let her win! If this is what she wants anyway... but whatever she wants, I don't want to see my little brother stuck in this secret lab---

Trystan: inventing room!

Aneira: ---inventing room to waste his life away!

Trystan: you said you wouldn't invite her....

Aneira: I know, and I didn't! She just self-invited herself once she hear Elena mention the party to Adrienne... looks like she assumed she was invited as well...

Trystan: typical!

Aneira: well, there was nothing we could do then, it was too late so there you go....

Trystan: *sighs* is she there already?

Aneira: yep... she came with Adrienne... who by the way has grown up without telling anybody! Did you know her birthday was coming up?

Trystan: no I didn't! So much for telling your best friends... oh well... I guess it's too late to complain right? And we do get to attend a huge party anyway today right?

Aneira: that's the right mood Trys! Glad to see you smiling again... now come, time to go!

Trystan: wait, how about five more minutes?

Aneira: Trystan!

Trystan: okay, okay, I'll come... I just hope she has some respect for the birthday girls and won't use this as one of the many occasions to make a scene!

Michael: wow, quite a lot of people have turned up! Cool!

Scarlette: well, it's just the family basically...plus a few other friends... but only us Loves are twenty six people!

Michael: wow, I can't believe how big the family has become!

Ella: hi Harry, so nice to see you here! What a coincidence!

Harry: uhm.. I don't think it's a coincidence really... it's your sister's birthday....

Ella: yeah well, it's nice to see you outside school, isn't it? We don't seem to hang out as much as we used to do when we were younger...

Harry: oh.... er.... really? I hadn't noticed...

Ella: yeah! So I thought that maybe we could go out sometimes, to the movies or something! What do you think?

Harry: er... I like movies...

Ella: that's great! It's settled then!

Harry: er... cool?

Ella: yeah, cool! Harry, really, have you been listening to me at all? You seem to be on another planet!

Harry: er... yeah... sorry about that... I've been feeling very tired lately, not very focussed, see...

Ella: oh, you seemed focussed enough the other day at the basketball game! You're really good you know? I enjoyed seeing you play... *smiles*

Harry: oh, good, thanks!

Ella: no worries... I always enjoy looking at you *smiles*

Tyler: I feel so nervous....

Tyler: I have been hiding from Elena... I have aged up to surprise her but... what if she doesn't like me anymore? I mean, when we were kids it was okay and she was happy for me to call her my girlfriend but now.... everything might change...

Tyler: but I don't want it to change! I really like Elena... I want her to be my girlfriend still... I hope she will want that too.... holy plumbob I'm so nervous!

Matilda: there's Aneira...

Adrienne: remember, you promised....

Adrienne: play nice and all will go well...

Matilda: yeah yeah I know I know... I wonder where Trystan has gone, I don't see him anywhere...

Adrienne: please Matilda, you promised... otherwise you'll make me regret bringing you here....

Matilda: why, thanks a lot "best friend"!

Adrienne: *sighs* really Matilda, you're making everybody's life more difficult, yours included! And there is no need, really, if you could see how much you would enjoy if you just sat back and relaxed...

Matilda: I am relaxed. But it doesn't help that my best friend decided to age up without telling me! You left me alone here, Ade!

Adrienne: I told you, I didn't even know that my birthday was coming up! It just happened!

Matilda: yeah yeah whatever... but still, you're a beautiful teen now, and I've lost my sidekick! I feel alone...

Adrienne: *sighs* if you would only behave more gently to people you would not be alone!

Adrienne: if you only left that poor kid alone, you would see that ----

Matilda: that what?

Adrienne: that being nice brings lots of good stuff in life!

Matilda: like what?

Adrienne: friends, for one....

Adrienne: there he is, he's coming...

Matilda: how do I look?

Adrienne: same as always... but how you look is not the problem! Remember, you promised to be nice...

Matilda: yeah yeah, you've said that thousands times already!

Aneira: hey Octavia! I just heard the news! You're going to be a big sister again! Congratulations!

Octavia: back at you..... looks like our set of parents don't get tired of producing children...

Aneira: you make it sound like a factory or something...

Octavia: well, look at the number of toddlers in this room! Looks like the business is going well for some! *laughs*

Aneira: at least all the kids in this room can grow up in families who love them... despite how much I dislike Matilda I feel for her sometimes, it must have been hard to grow up without a family... although she has finally found one now...

Octavia: yeah, that kind of things leaves a permanent scar on people... as you can clearly see of course, she's totally nuts! But we like nutters, don't we, little sis?

Amelia: *giggles*

Octavia: what do you think, will the new brother or sister will be an evil witch like me, or one of the good guys like you?

Amelia: mmmm not sure.... what do you sense?

Octavia: I don't know, it's still too early....

Aneira: hey Trys! Come congratulate Octavia and Amelia, they're going to be big sisters, like us!

Adrienne: hey, have you heard? Sounds like they're going to have another siblings! Isn't it great?

Matilda: I don't know what's wrong with some people, isn't a child enough?

Adrienne: well, if the Loves had stopped at Aneira you would have never met your dear friend!

Matilda: oh shut up! And for the records, we are not friends!

Adrienne: hey Trys! Congratulations, I just heard the news!

Trystan: uh... thanks...

Adrienne: it's me, Adrienne! I grew up...

Trystan: I can see that... growing up is a strange business... one day you're a kid and the next... you are taller and looking completely different and probably feeling and thinking completely different! I don't think I want to do it...

Octavia: oh, actually I think it's gonna be fun! I can't wait to grow up so I can have practise my spells!

Octavia: but in the meanwhile, I need to content myself with stealing candies from the countless toddlers in this room... and when the new brother or sister comes, I'll have one more to steal candies from!

Octavia: Mwahahahahahahahahah!

Aneira: er... Octavia, did you not just made a promised to yourself and decided not to be evil to family members?

Octavia: damn!

Octavia: caring about family members sucks!

Octavia: but wait, Matilda is not a family member... so I can let out my evilness with her! Oooooh a whole new world of possibilities has just opened..... *evil smile*

Aneira: okay Trys, here we are, Matilda is there but Adrienne told me she had her promise she will play nicely and behave today... so you should be fine...

Trystan: Annie, as I said other times, I appreciate your concern but I can handle it....

Aneira: I know, I was just saying....

Elena: wow... so many people... and so many decorations! Grandpa and grandma and auntie Alice and uncle Leo have done a good job with the room and the party...

Elena: only problem is, I don't know if I want to grow up... it's like a leap in the dark! What if I don't like it on the other side?

Elena: and more importantly... what if I become obsessed with boys (and boring) like my big sister Ella? Although probably that's not gonna happen, as she was like that even before growing up!

Elena: okay then, Annie, let's do this together!

Aneira: woo hoo the candles are lit!

Elena: why so excited? I thought you didn't fancy growing up too much...

Aneira: well, but I always like a good family party! Don't you?

Elena: oh yeah, and I've got the party animal trait!

Aneira: okay, ready?

Elena: ready! Bring the sparkles on!

Repair guy: er... hello? Somebody called me about a broken dishwasher?

Jay: woo hoo, happy birthday girls!

Catherine: yaaaay happy birthday!!!

Alice: I can't believe my girl is growing up! Woo hoo go Aneira go!

Susan: wow... I can't believe I'm pregnant again... how could it have happened? It was totally unexpected!

Octavia: ooh I love a good birthday party! Specially knowing that next one is gonna be mine!

Trystan: and after that it's gonna be mine... not looking forward to it though...

Matilda: why not? Being a teen ager looks like fun.... Adrienne is quite happy I think....

Trystan: I don't know, my life is already tough as it is now... I can't imagine how it could turn out when I grow up! Wait a second, why are you talking to me now?

Matilda: I always talk to you....

Trystan: you mean you shout at me, or annoy me, or all that kind of lovely things you usually do... but you don't usually just talk....

Matilda: I can start annoying you again if you prefer!

Trystan: no thank you very much, I'll enjoy my unexpected five minutes of peace!

Matilda: ha ha so funny...

Adrienne: you're doing great, Matilda! I didn't think you would actually behave, but you're doing great!

Matilda: thanks for the trust... "best friend"....

Trystan: wooo hoooo happy birthday sister! And cousin Elena!

Elena: make a wish, Annie!

Aneira: *blows candles*

Aneira: yaaaay we're growing up!

Aneira: I really don't know what to expect... do you think we'll feel different?

Elena: I just hope we won't turn out as boring as Ella, talking about boys all the time...

Trystan: happy birthday sister!!!

Scarlette: I can't believe we're queuing up with such a big space to pass through!

Ella: it's always the same mum, always the same...

Matilda: umph, I want to get closer to the birthday girls but there is a queue!

Tyler: closer to your friend Trystan you mean *smirks*

Matilda: shut up Tyler! What are you doing here anyway, I thought you wanted to see your girlfriend grow up... or are you afraid that she will look at you and decide she doesn't want to be your girlfriend anymore? Ha! Gotcha!

Tyler: queuing up the same as you... and for the records, you don't frighten me anymore kid, I've grown up now! You're on your own... and by the way, I just hope you've given up on tormenting my friend Trystan, or else...

Matilda: or else what? You don't frighten me Tyler, you're always the same scaredy cat even if you've grown up!

Amelia: guys, I think it's almost time!

Amelia: They've blown out their candles, now they're waiting for the sparkles, and then the cake will come!

Luke: this is soo cool! Well spotted Amelia!!!

James: come on guys, I think this time we'll really get to taste the cake!

Chloe: don't keep your hopes up guys... of course they won't give it to us....

Zoe: why not sister? I want cake!

Eric: exactly... if we scream all at the same time for cake maybe they'll take some notice...

Aneira: woo hoo time to grow up!

Crowd: *cheering* happy birthday!!!

Leo: yayyy my girl is growing up!

June: go Aneira! I'm sure you're going to grow up into a wonderful young woman!

Susan: wait, is everybody cheering because I'm pregnant? Oh no, it's my nieces birthday... this unexpected pregnancy must have wrecked my hormones, I don't know where I am anymore!

Aneira: woo hooo!!!

Elena: wait a minute.... Tyler?!

Tyler: hi...

Elena: I didn't know you had aged up!

Tyler: er... surprise!

Elena: That's why I had not seen you around! Why did you not come and talk to me?

Tyler: I----

Aneira: woo hooo! Aging up here!! I feel the sparkles coming!!!

Repair guy: nobody is answering the door, I'll just let myself in....

Repair guy: hellooo? Oh! A birthday party! Cool!

Tyler: happy birthday Elena and Aneira!

Matilda: I had never seen someone growing up... and I don't remember my last birthday, really... do the sparkles really appear out of nowhere?

Trystan: yeah... I think, at least, I don't remember much of my last birthday either...

Matilda: interesting....

Trystan: hey, why do we always found ourself stuck close together, like every time everywhere?

Matilda: yeah that's right... stop following me, Trystan!

Trystan: I didn't follow you, you came over here! I arrived here first!

Matilda: yeah, but you arrived in the spot I had identified as mine!

Trystan: whatever, let's just stop and concentrate on the birthday, okay?

Matilda: you're still standing on my spot though!

Crowd: *cheering*

Aneira: oooh I feel the sparkles coming!!

Repair guy: woo hoo, sparkles!

Matilda: oh my goodness, there really are sparkles!

Trystan: I told you! But you never believe what I tell you!

Matilda: that's because most of the time I'm right and you're wrong, Trystan!

Trystan: I'll just choose to ignore that comment and keep on cheering for my sister... go Aneira!!!

Tyler: woo hoo! Elena you are next!

Arni: why are we still queuing here?

Ella: believe me, grandpa, I've been asking myself the same question for the last half hour...

Crowd: *cheering*

Aneira: I feel strange....

Aneira: wow, that cake look a lot smaller from this height!

Say hello to teen Aneira! She has now added equestrian to her traits!

Elena: wow, Annie, you're so tall!

Catherine: woo hoo! Annie is beautiful, isn't she, Jay?

Jay: all your nieces are, they've got good genes! But my wife is the most beautiful of all!

Catherine: oh Jay, you can tell me the sweetest things in the most random situation! So sweet!

Leo: wow... my girl is a young woman now... I can't believe it!

June: woo hoo Annie! You look stunning!

Harry&Mark: happy birthday!

Scarlette: hey, it's Elena's turn now!

Ella: and finally we have made it over here! I hate being stuck queuing up for stuff...

Crowd: happy birthday!!!!

Elena: woo hooo it's my turn now!

Elena: happy birthday to meeee!

Elena: oooh sparkles!

Elena: Tyler, that's it! I'm growing up!

Tyler: don't worry Len, growing up is good! And I'm sure you're going to grow into a stunning teen...

Crowd: happy birthdayyyy!

Crowd: *cheering*

Tobias: oh and by the way, congratulations for your pregnancy!

Susan: thank you, thank you, I appreciate you took some time while to congratulate me, while your second daughter is aging up... you've got your priorities right, brother in law!

Elena: ta-dah! How do I look?

Aneira: wow... Elena you look amazing!!

Catherine: wow, my niece is super gorgeous!

Scarlette: Toby, look! We've got another stunning daughter! We've done a good job!

Arni: woo hooo I have yet another gorgeous granddaughter!

Seriously, I think Elena is the most beautiful sim I've ever had in my game! Good genes combination, well done Toby&Scarlette XD XD

Arni: and for my two gorgeous grand daughters, hip hip hurray!

Alice: woo hoooo happy birthdaaaay!

Tyler: wow.... she's stunning, isn't she?

Matilda: yep! You're doomed...

Tyler: holy plumbob... I think I am.... she'll never look at someone like me, she will want someone sophisticated, someone cool...

Ella: oh, don't listen to her Tyler! Don't you know my sister enough to know that she does not care of that stuff? Of course nothing has changed, even though she's grown up in a stunning young woman...

Ella: really, I got one stunning little sister... who would have thought! We make a good pair, don't we?

Alice: happy birthdaaaay!

Octavia: auntie Alice, we've gone past the trumpet ten minutes ago....

Alice: oh, okay... yay for Aneira and Elena!!!

Elena: okay then, stop staring at me people and help yourself with some cake, okay? This is starting to feel weird...

Trystan: oh, I can relate! At least there's someone who can understand me now...

Elena: I think I need some alone time with my cake now....

Aneira: cake, anyone?

Alice: yay for cake!!!!

Trystan: mum, I think your hormones are playing up again...

Repair guy: oh yes, I would love some cake, thank you....

Aneira: I didn't mean you! You're supposed to be repairing our dishwasher!

Repair guy: but I can't work with an empty stomach so....

Arni: so, who's gonna be first?

Mark: after you, Scarlette...

Scarlette: no, I think Arni should go first!

Arni: nope, I think the first slice should go to my lovely wife...

June: awww thanks darling, but I think the kids should eat first....

Ella: oh nooooooo here we go again! *facepalm*

Jimmy: eternal waiting game.... seriously, can I just grab a slice and leave?

Octavia: auntie Alice, we need to do something about this, we're stalling again and the cakes are sitting there, having a laugh!

Alice: I didn't think cakes could laugh?

Octavia: ... I was joking.... I just meant---

Harry: wow, Nick, I do think there is something wrong with your auntie... is she going bonkers or what?

Nick: naaah no worries, she's just pregnant again...

Alice: Octavia is right, we do need to do something about this....

Alice: Move aside, people, here comes the pregnant lady!

Jimmy: wait, what?

Alice: it's not me, it's the baby that needs cake, see?

Alice: aah a good slice all for me! For me and the baby, I mean... happy queuing, people!

Matilda: hey, that was my slice!

Catherine: did it have a label with your name on?

Matilda: no but---

Catherine: then it can't be yours. But it's mine, as it's sitting in my plate! Byeee

Matilda: rude, much! Move aside, older brother of Adrienne's, the next slice is gonna be mine!

Harry: wow... is she always this bossy and snappy, Trys?

Trystan: and for some reason she's rather quiet today!

Aneira: aaah, some peace and quiet at last!

Aneira: and of course, cake!

Matilda: hey, why can't I get a slice? This guy is in the way, take him away from between me and my cake!

Ella: hey, calm down kid... you don't speak to Harry like that!

Harry: hey, she came in my way first! I can't reach my cake either!

Trystan: ... and again, why do I always find myself next to her? Why? I'm trying my best to keep away!

Ella: that girl just insulted Harry! Somebody please do something! Somebody needs to give her a lesson!

Octavia: oh, can I volunteer? Please?

Michael: Octavia, don't be mean to the guests...

Octavia: but she's not a relative! I only promised not to be mean to our relatives see? I'm allowed to be mean to her!

Susan: hey Scarlette, did you know that I'm pregnant?

Scarlette: yes Susie, I did know! Congratulations... again!

Susan: thank you, thank you...

Susan: I feel so happy and in peace with the world! Although the thought of adding yet another kid to the family is a bit scary really....

Chloe: I told you, we're not gonna get any cake....

Eric: don't jinx it! So long as the cake sits on that table, there is hope...

Chloe: I'm just being realistic...

Zoe: but I'm starting to get hungry....

James: what about the plan to scream all together? Do you think they're going to hear us?

Luke: I don't think so, James... they're too busy celebrating the cousins....

James: this sucks.

Zoe: James, watch your language!

Luke: oh no, it really does!

Repair guy: mmm this cake is delicious!

Elena: mmm who invited this guy to the party again?

Repair guy: thank you madam, the cake was delicious! I think I'm gonna go now....

June: and what about the dishwasher?

Repair guy: oh, I have to come back for that, I have to go to another appointment now... but I'll send you the bill via post tomorrow okay? It's 50 simoleon, as always!

June: but you did not repair anything, AND crashed my granddaughters party AND had our cake!

Repair guy: oh, look at the time! Pleasure doing business with you madam, bye now!

Catherine: always the same thing... why can't I reach the piece of cake I just put in front of an empty seat, uh?

Alice: I don't know sis, I can't reach mine either!

Tobias: awww my daughter grew up in a wonderful young lady! I can't believe I already have two teen ager daughters! Does it mean I'm getting old?

Matilda: mmm where is Trystan again? Or Jimmy? This room is full of grown ups and I feel uncomfortable... where should I sit?

Arni: there she is, the other birthday girl! What took you so long, Annie?

Aneira: well, I had my first slice in the conservatory, and this one is my second!

Elena: wow, a huge crowd has been queuing for the cake for ages, and you managed to get two slices! You're a pro, cousin!

Catherine: hey, I don't think I've ever seen you before... are you a friend of Trystan's?

Matilda: yeah... kind of.... and you are?

Catherine: Catherine, Trystan's auntie... my son Jimmy just started school, so you might know him...

Matilda: oh yeah, he's in my class too!

Aneira: we were all in the same class... it will be strange on Monday to go back to School but to a completely different classroom and with different classmates!

Elena: definitely.... it feels so strange to be a teen! And yet, it feels so good as well...

Trystan: oh no.... I can't believe I didn't manage to get a slice of cake! I'm starving!

Octavia: umph. Looks like we ran out of cake.... that is not fair, I want to see some punishment!!

Michael: I'm totally disappointed. You should have bought more cake ma, you know that there's lots of us!

June: Two birthdays, two cakes! You can't have a third cake if nobody else is ageing up you know....

Tyler: I'm starving...

Ella: I'm happy I did not have to choose whether to have cake or not... yay for me, I managed to stick to my diet!

Nick: oh please, El, stop it with this diet thing! You don't need to diet!

Elena: hey, Tyler....

Tyler: oh, hello....

Elena: I was looking for you... why did you not join us on in the dining room?

Tyler: because I've been queuing here all the time... and in the end we ran out of cake so it was all pointless!

Elena: oh no... poor you, I'm sorry, I would have saved you some of mine if I had known!

Tyler: wow, thanks, that's kind...

Elena: what is it, Tyler? You look... I don't know, nervous? Why don't you look at me when you talk to me?

Elena: ... don't you like me anymore, now that I've grown up? Is that it?

Tyler: no!!! Of course not!

Tyler: quite the contrary in fact... I think you're gorgeous....

Elena: *smiles* thanks... you're not too bad yourself *giggles*

Tyler: ...I just thought that probably you wouldn't want to be around me anymore....

Elena: what! And why would that be?

Tyler: I mean, look at you, you're stunning... you deserve someone cooler than me, I'm just... me...

Elena: rubbish! What in the name of plumbob are you saying, Tyler? You've been my best friend for years and ----

Tyler: and?

Elena: well, you know.... if you ever... if you ever wanted to, like, go to the movies or something I would like that...

Elena: I mean, I thought that it would be nice to hang out as we used to.... and see if we still like each other as teens... .if you want?

Ella: aww my little sister is so brave! I wish I had the same courage and be able to tell Harry how I feel.... respect, sister!

Tyler: er... yes that's great! I mean, I would like that...

Tyler: but are you sure of what you're saying? I mean maybe you haven't looked in the mirror in the last half an hour... maybe you should do that before you say anything else... I mean, you could go out with whoever you want... I mean, look at me, I wanted to impress you and yet I forgot to change my gym clothes! So....

Elena: Tyler?

Tyler: yes?

Elena: if you don't want to go out with me you can just say it, I'll understand...

Tyler: no it's not that! I was just saying---

Elena: good... then I was just saying that if you ever asked me I'd say yes!

Tyler: g-great, that's great then...

Elena: yes it is *smiles*

Susan: mwaahahahahah teen age awkwardness in full blow! Mwahahahahha

Octavia: why are you mad-laughing, mum? The next birthday coming up is mine! Will you laugh at me as well when I become a teenager?

Ella: okay, calm down now. If Elena can do it, so can you! HI HARRY!

Harry: hey....

Ella: so, you have been left without cake too I see...

Harry: yup...

Trystan: and me.... life is so not fair....

Ella: and it's quite rubbish to come to a birthday party and being left without the cake...

Harry: absolutely! Quite outrageous really...

Ella: I know, I would complain but you see, it was my sister and cousin's birthday, and grandma and grandpa organised it, I don't want to complain with them... but still, I think they should have bought more cake!

Harry: that's really nice Ella...

Ella: aww thanks... by the way, I've heard there is going to be a little disco session here later, I was thinking that if you feel like dancing, you could dance with me, maybe?

Harry: yeah sure! What a cool idea, I love dancing!

Ella: oh really! That's great then, me too!

Octavia: oh sweet ignorance.... do you really not see any sign, when you're in love? I mean, did he said he loves dancing with her? No. He just said he loves dancing. How can she start making all those brain movies without any real sign that he feels the same for her? Oh dear, I do hope I won't become like that.... but then, I probably won't, I'm a witch!

Trystan: so what? Are you immune to love?

Octavia: of course not. I guess. But being a witch, I can easily either understand somebody else's feelings, or make them love me with a love potion of course! No big deal!

Trystan: you scare me, cousin....

Susan: aww my girl is so bright for her age!

June: so, are you ready to dance, people? I'll just get ride of these tables and then you can hit the dance floor!

Elena: mmm interesting... what do you think, are you going to ask me to dance?

Tyler: of course...

Jimmy: wow, it's dance time!

Matilda: mm I'm not sure I want to dance...

Jimmy: I wonder if Trystan and Octavia are already on the dance floor...

Matilda: .... maybe we should go have a look....

Tyler: okay then.... how does this work....

Elena: don't be nervous Tyler, it's always the same dancing...

Tyler: yeah, of course...

Nick: yay, for once I'm not gonna be the most awkward dancer in the room!

Alice: Annie, looks like the dances are starting! Go on, I'll finish clearing out the plates here...

Aneria: thanks mum!

Amy: I wish I could dance...

Alice: you can! Why not?

Amy: mmm it's a teen party... but yeah, why not, I'll go find Mark!

Ella: so, shall we dance?

Harry: oh, okay...

Aneira: so cool! Too bad I don't have a dance partner though!

Octavia: this is soooo much fun!!!!

Matilda: there you are Trystan!

Trystan: oh no....

Matilda: I was wondering if you were into this kind of things...

Trystan: you mean dancing? Well, not really but Octavia seems to be having fun so I thought I would try...

Matilda: well done! I really didn't think to find you here... what a surprise!

Trystan: why, did you think I could not dance?

Matilda: yeah...

Matilda: I still think that! Come on, show me!

Trystan: show what?

Matilda: show me you can dance! I won't believe it until I see it!

Trystan: er... something like this?

Matilda: your cousin needs some practice, doesn't he?

Octavia: and I bet you're here just to help him get some! Right?

Matilda: I'm just here to dance... and you should really mind your own business!

Octavia: yeah whatever...I've got a news for you girl: you do not intimidate me... and I couldn't care less of what you said! Ha! Now, leave me alone, I want to lose myself in this dance!

Nick: dancing alone is not that fun after all...

Jimmy: oh ignore her, she's just Octavia.... you're not a bad dancer!

Matilda: thank you... at least someone is recognizing my talent here!

Trystan: hey, I think I've got it now! I can dance!!!

Matilda: hahahaha that is not the real thing Trystan... but you're getting there... with some practice....

Tyler: how am I going?

Elena: you're doing great Tyler! I love dancing so much! In fact, one of my traits is party animal!

Tyler: really! I didn't know! I've also got that trait! Cool....

Ella: oh poor Nick, he doesn't have a partner...

Harry: ....

Ella: hey Nick! Why don't you dance with Annie? She doesn't have a partner either!

Nick: yes, this could be a good idea... hey An, wanna dance with your old cousin? It's better than dancing on our own anyway...

Aneira: oh yeah, why not!

Octavia: wooow all these lights... it feels like we're in a real disco! Woo hoo!! Well thought, grandma and grandpa!

Matilda: come on Trystan, don't be shy, let your hair down and get wild on the dance floor!

Trystan: what?! I don't normally tie my hair up anyway....

Matilda: *laughing* oh Trys, you make me crack up sometimes!

Trystan: really? I thought you usually found me annoying...

Matilda: yes, that as well!

Octavia: stop arguing, people, and let's go wild wooo hoooo!

Jimmy: wow, I didn't know Octavia was a huge fan of the dance floor!

Adrienne: woo hoo I love dancing!

Nick: hey, I didn't know you were a good dancer, cousin!

Aneira: haha thanks! You're not too bad yourself!

Nick: thanks for dancing with me, it's great not to be on my own, for a change!

Aneira: any time!

Tyler: hey, how am I going?

Elena: you're going great!

Tyler: I think we both are, together! I mean, we make a good dancing couple, don't we?

Elena: absolutely!

Nick: look at those two... they've always been inseparable! So cute!

Aneira: they are indeed!

Aneira: why the sad face, Nick?

Nick: oh nothing, let's keep dancing, shall we?

Nick: and dance the sorrows away!

Aneira: what sorrows?

Nick: oh nevermind, I love this song!

Elena: Oh... the music has changed!

Elena: looks like it's time for slow dancing!

Tyler: yeah... would you like to dance this one as well? With me?

Elena: of course... *smiles*

Harry: oh, looks like the next one is going to be a slow dance so... er....

Ella: oh I don't mind, I've always wanted to slow dance! Will you be my first slow dance partner, Harry? *laughs*

Harry: er... yeah sure, why not.... alright...

Nick: mmm I think I'll pass on this one cousin...

Aneira: yeah... me too....

Aneira: Nick... will you explain your sad face to me one day?

Nick: mmm what? Oh it's nothing really....

Aneira: I don't think so... anyway, if you ever want to talk about it...

Nick: I know. Thanks Annie...

Aneira: I'll go then...

Nick: yeah, I think I should get myself a drink or somehting---

Adrienne: hey! If you're not dancing with Aneira, would you like to dance with me?

Nick: uh?

Adrienne: I don't have anyone to dance with, and if Aneira doesn't want to dance this one, I thought you might dance it with me instead?

Nick: er... I don't really do slow dances....

Aneira: why not, Nick! It could be fun!

Nick: er.... okay then....

Adrienne: cool! Thank you!

Aneira: great! I'll leave you to it then! Have fun!

Ella: oh look! Your sister has found herself a dance partner! They would make a good couple, wouldn't they? I'm so glad Nick has found someone, he always looks so sad for some unknown reason!

Harry: .......

Aneira: looks like my little brother is having fun... I'm so glad, he needs some good fun in his life, away from that little minx... who is never too far away from him, unfortunately...

Matilda: hey Trys, looks like the music has changed, you need to change your dancing style as well!

Trystan: no thank you, I like this one I'm doing now!

Aneira: hey mum and auntie Susie! Can I join you?

Alice: sure darling! Come and sit over here and keep company to the pregnant ladies!

Alice: as I was saying, I was totally not expecting it! I mean, I had been feeling a bit weird, but you know, Lumikki had passed away and Trystan was having some troubles so I thought it was because of that...

Alice: imagine the surprise when I found out I was having another baby! I was by the dishwasher, feeling depressed because I had broken it, and it was flooding the floor. Plus, my dad and Trystan were both crying because of Lumikki, so I was feeling really really down... and then I had this sudden change of clothes, and they were summer ones and I was freezing! Besides, all my dirty clothes were lying on the flooded floor... I was feeling quite unlucky on that day really!

Harry: this is actually quite fun...

Ella: I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Ella: So am I.... I really am....

Harry: er... good! Although... maybe we should take a break?

Ella: uh? No, no breaks, I'm perfectly fine I don't need a break!

Harry: okay...

Tyler: I have to say it, I really enjoy dancing with you Len...

Elena: oh, I like it that you still call me Len! And I do enjoy dancing with you as well, Tyler...

Tyler: how does it feel like, being a teen?

Elena: I don't know, it's a bit weird I suppose, haven't got used to it yet... but it's good to still have you in my teen life!

Tyler: aww thanks... it's good to have you in mine as well....

Matilda: Trystan...

Trystan: *sighs* what now!

Matilda: this slow dance music is a bit depressing... and us kids we can't slow dance anyway so...

Trystan: so?

Matilda: so, I'm feeling a bit hungry and I've seen that you have positioned a few interesting things outside in the garden...

Trystan: uh? Oh, you mean the popcorn machine, the snow cone machine and---

Matilda: the candyfloss one! I really feel like candyfloss... I've never had it before in my life!

Trystan: then how can you know that you feel like it if you've never---

Matilda: that is not the point! The point is: I want candyfloss.

Trystan: er... okay? And why should this interest me?

Matilda: because you're going to come with me outside so that I can have some!

Trystan: why? You can go on your own!

Matilda: oh no I can't! This is your home Trystan, I can't just go wander in somebody else's house! You need to come with me, period.

Trystan: what if I want to keep dancing here? I'm quite enjoying myself...

Matilda: well you can't. I feel uncomfortable being on my own in somebody else's house, so I wouldn't go outside alone. Meaning, I would starve. Do you want me to starve, Trystan?

Trystan: how could you possibly starve for the lack of candyfloss?

Matilda: Trystan! Let's go outside, now! Or do you want me to start shouting to everyone that you won't do me such a tiny favour as coming with me to get candyfloss?

Trystan: as you please... but I shall not be happy!

Matilda: whatever, feel free to feel whatever you like best, I just need somebody to come with me to get candyfloss!

Alice: so, wow, my baby girl is all grown up now! Wow, I still can't believe you're a teen... how does it feel like?

Aneira: I don't know mum, a bit confusing... a bit weird! Like I have more feelings... no, like all my feelings have gone bananas and are dancing the conga inside of me!

Alice: yes... welcome to the world of teen age... I was feeling exactly the same when I was your age....

Susan: mmm how was I feeling when I turned a teen ager.... I was angry at the world, and at my mother for separating me from my beloved Michael... I had just become an evil witch... I just left everyone to find refuge in that creepy place called Midnight Hollow...

Susan: nope, I wouldn't want to go back to my teen age!

Aneira: and yet, auntie Susie, if you had not felt that way, you would have never gone to Midnight Hollow and you would have never met my dad! And my mum would have never met my dad either and I wouldn't be here today... so I think we owe your troubled teen age a big thank you!

Alice: aww that is so sweet!

Alice: She's right Susie, we own everything to you!

Susan: mmm yeah that's right... does it mean, all my evilness had a good purpose? This sucks....

Matilda: hey Trystan, is that your family?

Trystan: uh, what?

Trystan: oh that... yeah, it's my mum and her brothers and sisters... and our dog Lumikki...

Matilda: that's nice... I've never had anything like that.... do you think you'll have another photo taken when your new brother or sister is born?

Trystan: uh... maybe, I don't really know... and it's none of your business anyway!

Matilda: for plumbob's sake, I was just trying to say a nice thing!

Aneira: ....

Matilda: not that I care about your family whatsoever!

Susan: being a friendly evil witch really sucks.

Alice: quite a little minx that girl, isn't she?

Aneira: *sighs* yeah....

Alice: why that sigh? Is there something I should know?

Alice: wait! Is that the one who was giving Trystan a hard time?

Aneira: yeah, that's the one... but don't worry about that, Trystan says he can sort her out...

Aneira: although I am a bit worried if I have to be honest! She is nasty to him, but then drags him around everywhere! I mean, either you like him or not, take a decision girl! I just hate seeing my brother being bullied like that!

Alice: I would hate to see my son bullied as well... but if he says he can sort it out himself... maybe he's enjoying this and is not telling you!

Aneira: what! Enjoy being treated like this by that girl? Mum, do you know Trystan at all? He hates it, she has made his life miserable! He's just too much of a gentleman to send her to---

Alice: yes, and yet.... you're all growing up Annie, sometimes I wonder if I know my kids at all...

Matilda: wow.... this garden is amazing!

Trystan: I know that, it's my garden, I see it every day....

Matilda: whatever, I think I'll have some of this...

Matilda: wow, a candyfloss machine all for me!

Matilda: woooooow this is huge!

Matilda: wanna taste, Trystan?

Trystan: no, thank you.

Matilda: oh well, I shall it it all myself then!

Matilda: mmmm yummi!

Matilda: are you sure you don't want some?

Trystan: I said I don't! Now, eat quickly so we can go back inside!

Matilda: I'll eat as fast or as slow as I please...

Trystan: yeah, why did I even bother asking....

Matilda: I'm done! Happy, now?

Trystan: you tell me! Is your highness happy enough to go back inside now?

Matilda: *giggles* well, now that I think of it, I quite enjoy it out here....

Trystan: goodness, you are doing it on purpose!

Matilda: doing what, exactly? Look, I appreciate that you came outside with me, okay? I just want to have a chat before we go back....

Trystan: a chat?!

Matilda: yes, you know, two people talking about stuff? That's a chat...

Trystan: I know what a chat is! I just meant... why would you want to talk to me...

Matilda: well, I have heard that you've taken up a new hobby! And I wanted to know all about it!

Trystan: .....

Matilda: what?

Trystan: are you serious? Or are you pulling my leg?

Matilda: of course I'm serious! Adrienne was saying you like inventing stuff... she couldn't care less she said, but I do!

Trystan: you.... care?!?

Matilda: I like inventions! So I would like to see what you do... and what you've invented!

Trystan: er... I haven't really invented something... yet! I just tinker around with scrap metal and hopefully at some point something cool will appear!

Matilda: whatever, I'd like to see that if you don't mind!

Trystan: er... are you really sure? Because there's nothing to see really....

Matilda: Trystan? I said I want to see your lab, which means I want to see your lab. So, are you going to take me or not?

Trystan: uh... okay.... it's not really a lab though, it's my secret inventing room! But yeah, if you really want.... come on then....

Matilda: good!

Trystan: I smell trouble....

Matilda: what did you just say?

Trystan: who, me? Nothing... it's just around the corner...

Aneira: ....

Alice: what are you thinking about, darling?

Aneira: oh, nothing, it's just... mum, do you think I will feel like I want to be with somebody like Elena wants to be with Tyler one day?

Alice: but of course you will!

Aneira: it's just... see, Ella has always had a crush on Harry, since she can remember. And Elena... she's always been best friends with Tyler, and it just evolved I guess... but I've never felt anything like that for anyone... I wonder if I'll ever feel it....

Alice: of course you will! It's just that that special person has not crossed your way yet... but I'm sure he will be soon!

Tyler: are you enjoying the dance?

Elena: I am! You?

Tyler: me too...

Elena: ... but?

Tyler: but what?

Elena: it felt like you were going to say "but"....

Tyler: oh no, no buts, totally enjoying this. But I was thinking...

Elena: *smiles* there you go!

Tyler: it's a good but. I was thinking, maybe we could take a little break and go get some fresh air outside, what do you think?

Elena: oh... okay!

Tyler: great! I'll pop into the loo a second and be right back!

Elena: ..... Tyler?

Tyler: yes?

Elena: I don't need this level of detailed information...

Tyler: *laughs* haha sorry, I'll be right back!

Elena: I'll be here!

Elena: .....

Adrienne: ouch, Nick, you stomped on my foot!

Nick: oh dear, sorry... again...

Elena: ....

Elena: Annie....

Alice: there she is, the other birthday girl! Seems like you've been enjoying dancing! *winks*

Elena: er... yeah... Annie, can I talk to you for a second?

Aneira: sure!

Aneira: just ignore my mum's comments by the way, I think the hormones are effecting her again...

Aneira: anyway, what is it? Is everything okay? You look pale...

Elena: it's Tyler!

Aneira: oh yes, looks like you two are enjoying each other company a lot *winks*

Elena: yeah... but see, he wants us to go for a walk outside now!!!

Aneira: ... and?

Elena: some advice please!!!

Aneira: uh... bring your coat along, it might be cold?

Elena: Annie! Don't be so thick!

Elena: I think... well, what if....

Aneira: what if what?

Elena: what if he wants.... *whispers* to kiss me?

Aneira: uhm... I see... well, how would you feel if he did?

Elena: I don't know! That's the problem!

Aneira: okay....

Elena: please give me some advice.... please?

Aneira: look, I'm not an expert in this as you know, so I might totally not understand what it feels like....

Elena: go on...

Aneira: ... but, you two have been friends for ages, and it looks like you still like each other now that you've grown up...

Elena: yes...

Aneira: and recently you had agreed that he could call you "his girlfriend", so I guess this is still the case?

Elena: I don't know! We were just kids when that happened! Now we have grown up and---

Aneira: well, maybe that's why he wants to take you for a walk, he wants to talk about this!

Elena: yeah, and this totally sorts out my nerves. "Hi, I used to like you when we were kids, would you mind still being my girlfriend?" I mean, what should I do if he says something like that? And more than that... what if... you know.... he wants to take things to a different level?

Aneira: I don't know, would you like to be his girlfriend and would you like to kiss him?

Elena: I don't know! I've never been kissed, I don't know what it feels like! I don't even know if I'm good at it or not!

Aneira: well, probably neither does he so don't worry! But the good thing is, you didn't say no!

Elena: to what?

Aneira: to my question! So I guess this is something you had been thinking about...

Elena: I... I think so... but still! I'm so confused! How can I tell if this is something I want or just something that I feel it has to happen because of what it was like before... I mean--- I don't even know what I'm saying! Like, how do I know if I want to kiss him because I want to be with him, or just because it's a progression of things, or because I don't want to break his heart if I say no?

Susan: ......

Susan: goodness, I had forgotten how complicate teen age is! I'd better brace myself for when Octavia grows up... which is going to be soon-ish.... holy plumbob I had not thought of that....

Aneira: okay, sounds complicated. Why don't you just do one thing.

Elena: which is?

Aneira: stop thinking, keep going, go with the flow, whatever. Whatever happens, don't think and just do what you feel like at the moment. You'll think about it later...

Elena: that's not something my mum would advise....

Aneira: well, I'm not your mother so...

Aneira: besides, your time is up, here he comes!

Elena: what!

Tyler: hey! Ready?

Elena: Tyler! Haha yeah, ready! Let's go!

Tyler: cool... let's go then.... *smiles*

Aneira: *smiles* oh the awkwardness!

Aneira: I wonder if one day I'll feel it too....

Alice: .....

Susan: oh dear, and what when Octavia will want to go out with someone? I don't think I'm ready for that either!

Tyler: wow I think your auntie is a bit over reacting... don't you think?

Elena: oh don't worry about her, she's like that...

Tyler: I bet your cousin Octavia is going to give her one nice time when she grows up! *laughs*

Tyler: anyway, here we are... it's nice to get some fresh air, isn't it?

Elena: yeah... it's a bit chilly though but look at the sky! Amazing!

Tyler: yeah... hey, fancy a walk in the moonlight?

Elena: *smiles* why not...

Trystan: okay then, here we are...

Matilda: wow, I had no idea your backyard was so big! And you've got a hot tub as well!

Matilda: you must invite me over again when we grow up okay? When we can actually use the hot tub.... I've never even seen one in function! Must be amazing!

Trystan: uh... okay.... anyway, beyond this door is my secret lab.

Matilda: you said it was not a lab...

Trystan: my secret inventing room, whatever!

Matilda: why are you nervous? *giggles*

Trystan: I've never taken anyone beyond this door! Except my family of course, but even them, they know that when I come here I want to be on my own...

Matilda: the point being?

Trystan: this is my secret lab! Meaning that it's secret, nobody can see what I do in there and go out tell the world...

Matilda: so it is a lab... anyway, I thought you just said you had not invented anything yet...

Trystan: but I could! You never know... so, you have to promise you won't tell anyone what you see inside...

Matilda: okay okay, I promise, now, can we go in? I'm kinda freezing here....

Trystan: ta dah! Welcome to my secret lab-- Inventing Room!

Matilda: it doesn't really look much like a lab....

Trystan: that's why I told you it was a secret inventing room!

Matilda: and what is this exactly?

Trystan: this? This is a.... thingy... to create robots!

Matilda: wow cool! That would be a cool thing to invent! Can you show me?

Trystan: I can't use it yet, I'm too young... but I will one day!

Matilda: so what is the point of having one of these in your room if you can't use it?

Trystan: dad bought it for me for when I grow up... so that I can choose what I want to tinker with... scrap metal, robots or even sculpting! Come, I'll show you!

Matilda: oh, that's very thoughtful of your dad... you have a nice dad....

Trystan: yes, now, look!

Matilda: mmm what should I be looking at exactly?

Trystan: this, is scrap metal. And I'm going to tinker with it and hopefully create something with it!

Matilda: oh, okay... cool.... and what is that supposed to be?

Trystan: I don't know yet! That's the good part! I just tinker with it and then at some point ta-dah! A new invention appears!! And---

Trystan: ---ouch! That hurt!

Matilda: oh it's going to be a looong time before you actually create something, isn't it?

Tyler: so here we are....

Elena: wow....

Elena: look at the sky! It's beautiful!!!

Tyler: yeah, it's so rare to have such a clear night at this time of the year....we're lucky! Hey, shall we sit down and watch the stars?

Elena: wow....

Tyler: haha you look very impressed!

Elena: I am! I mean, look at the sky! Are you not impressed? It's breathtaking!

Tyler: yes it is... but at the moment there is someone else who takes my breath away...

Elena: what? Oh... Tyler...

Tyler: *laughs* okay, that came out a little too soppy that it was supposed to be, but it's true!

Elena: *smiles*

Tyler: now, do you think we still have a chance to see a shooting star and make a wish?

Elena: I don't know, it's too late in the year I think... it's almost Spooky Day, we are lucky enough to have such a not too freezing night with a clear sky... but I think it's too late for shooting stars...

Tyler: oh no it's not! Look at that one!

Elena: wow!!!

Tyler: make a wish, quick!!

Tyler: wow, I can't believe we actually wished to a shooting star! It's a lucky sign, isn't it?

Elena: I guess so *smiles*

Tyler: are you freezing?

Elena: yeah, kind of....

Tyler: come on then, let's walk back, I don't want you to freeze at our first date!

Elena: oh... is this a date?

Tyler: well... not really, but technically we have walked away to a community lot on our own, so it could be... if you want?

Elena: I like the idea...

Tyler: glad to hear that *smiles*

Elena: *smiles* Tyler....

Tyler: no, let me get it out first. I have liked you since we first met as kids, Len. And I was extremely happy when you seemed to like me as well... as friends, but still! It was great to have you as my best friend... and then... as my childhood girlfriend *grins*

Tyler: I still don't think you knew what you were doing, maybe it was just a funny thing to you, but it was important to me! Even if we were just kids, I really wanted you to be my girlfriend you know...

Elena: Tyler...

Tyler: wait, let me finish. And now that we have grown up... I think I have always loved you Len, although I didn't understand it clearly before, but I do understand it now. And my feelings for you and my wish is still the same...

Tyler: I know growing up is a bit confusing, so please don't say anything now, think about it and let me know when you know... but I would love to go out with you sometime Len... and if you want maybe call you my girlfriend again *grins*

Elena: oh Tyler, you're so sweet....

Elena: my feelings are indeed confused... but I do I like being with you... and I think I would love going out with you Tyler.... and I can't stop thinking how it would feel if you kissed me now....

Tyler: *grins* let's see what I can do about it....

<3 <3 <3

Tyler: wish granted *grins*

Elena: wow...

Tyler: so....er... was it how you expected?

Elena: I don't know....

Tyler: oh... okay....

Elena: I mean, I think I need another one to judge... *grins*

Tyler: *grins* yes, definitely, totally agree with you....

<3 <3 <3

Elena: I could stay here all night...

Tyler: me too.. but we'll need to go back at some point...

Elena: we can always take the long way back... *winks*

Matilda: so, have you invented anything yet?

Tyler: no, for the hundredth time, no! And stop asking that question, it's annoying! And you're making me nervous...

Matilda: do I now? I wonder why....

Trystan: stop staring at me while I work please! It's creepy!

Matilda: well, you invited me to your cave here to show me your work, hence, I'm looking at your work!

Trystan: what! You invited yourself in! Besides----

Trystan: oh look! It's done!

Matilda: what is done?

Trystan: my new invention!

Matilda: oh.... and what is that supposed to be?

Trystan: I don't know yet.... it looks like a toaster or something....

Matilda: okaaaay.....

Trystan: you don't look impressed...

Matilda: oh no, I am impressed! We've been here for hours and you created something that looks like a toaster but you've no idea what it is really. So cool woo hoo well done you!

Trystan: stop teasing me, it's not funny! I knew I shouldn't have brought you here, I knew it!

Matilda: well, you could have said no...

Trystan: no I couldn't! You would have not let me go back inside until I had agreed! But I knew it was not a good idea, I'm such an idiot! Come on, you've got what you came for, let's go back inside...

Matilda: wait....

Matilda: wait a minute!

Trystan: oh no....

Matilda: what is it now?

Trystan: look....

Matilda: oooh.... I see.....

Trystan: what in the name of plumbob are they doing!

Matilda: *giggles* oh Trystan, they're kissing of course!

Trystan: oh my goodness.... that's....

Trystan: totally disgusting! They're glued like slugs or something!

Matilda: eww you make it sound disgusting! But it's not! I mean, have you never seen somebody kissing?

Trystan: uh... yeah... my parents kiss a lot.... but not like this... surely?

Matilda: well, they probably do kiss like this when you're not watching you silly!

Trystan: really? Oh my goodness... and do they like it?!?

Matilda: of course they do! Oh Trystan you're such a child sometimes... sometimes I wonder---

Trystan: shut up and get back inside before they see us!

Matilda: oh my goodness that was so sweet! They're so lucky!

Trystan: to me it still seems disgusting....

Trystan: and embarrassing! I mean, that was my cousin and my best friend... and it didn't look like we were supposed to be there watching... anyway, looks like we're stuck here until the coast is clear...

Matilda: *smiles* oh really?

Trystan: yeah, sorry, there's no other way in....

Matilda: what about that door?

Trystan: we can't use it... it goes into the garage, and potentially we could get out and in again from the front door, but that's where they're dancing, and everybody would see us coming in and....

Matilda: and?

Trystan: I don't know, it might look strange....

Matilda: why strange?

Trystan: for goodness' sake, forget it, let's go that way if you wish!

Matilda: no, I'm okay to wait here....

Trystan: okay. It might take a while though, we'd better sit down.

Matilda: okay.... I don't remember seeing any chairs though?

Trystan: look behind you, they've just been taken out of the inventory and positioned in the room!

Matilda: er... what?

Trystan: forget it, strange things happen in this house and I've stopped questioning things...

Trystan: .....

Matilda: ....

Trystan: .... so... do you think it will take long?

Matilda: I don't know... maybe?

Trystan: mmm okay... what shall we do while we wait... mmm... do you want me to show you more inventions?

Matilda: no thank you, I think I've seen enough....

Trystan: oh... okay... then---

Matilda: Trystan.

Trystan: yes?

Matilda: do you really think that kissing is disgusting?

Trystan: mmm I don't know, but it looked like it!

Matilda: then, you will have a problem when you grow up my friend!

Trystan: I will have what? Wait, when did we become friends exactly?

Matilda: I mean, have you never thought of kissing a girl?

Trystan: what! What kind of question is that!

Matilda: answer me.

Trystan: er... I don't know... are we not too young to be having this conversation? I thought it was grown up stuff...

Matilda: yeah, but don't you want to know what will be expected from you, when you grow up?

Trystan: expected from me?!?! Why should people be expecting that I go around kissing girls?

Matilda: well, that's what grown ups do...

Trystan: not all the time! I guess... I mean... I don't know, I've never thought about this! But honestly I don't think anybody will expect anything from me....

Trystan: .... I hope.....

Matilda: well then, I hope I won't be that girl that you'll take out on your first date! She'll be very disappointed!

Trystan: my what?!?!

Matilda: your first date! You know, when you like someone, you ask them out, you go somewhere, like the park or something, and at the end of the date you kiss them! It's the rule!

Trystan: the... rule?! Oh my goodness, am I expected to kiss everyone I go to the park with?

Matilda: of course not! Not everyone! Just the one who's there on a date with you! Oh dear, Trystan you're hopeless!

Trystan: I--- I don't even know why we're having this conversation!

Matilda: well, you are hopeless but I can help you if you want.

Trystan: help me? What for?

Matilda: well, don't you want to know what it's like? To kiss someone? So that when that moment comes you know what to expect?

Trystan: uhm... I don't know... er.... I've never thought about it...

Matilda: well, I could tell you all about it!

Trystan: as if you knew anything about it!

Matilda: well, certainly more than you know!! So?

Trystan: no thanks, I think I'll survive without the details for a while longer...

Matilda: as you wish... but when that day comes, you'll think back to this day and you wish you had accepted my help!

Trystan: well.... *sighs* okay then... go on.....

Matilda: good. *smiles* Now, close your eyes....

Trystan: why should I close my-----

Trystan: ----eyes........

Matilda: .....

Trystan: .....

Matilda: ...... say something!

Trystan: er.... I thought you were going to tell me....

Matilda: well, I thought it would be more effective if you experienced the real thing!

Trystan: I see...

Matilda: so??

Trystan: so what?

Matilda: how was it, Trystan!! It was my first kiss, I want to know if I did it well!!

Trystan: I guess... it was alright?

Matilda: only alright?!?! That's disappointing Trystan....

Trystan: I don't know, honestly, I'm still quite shocked, I don't know what to think! Or to say!

Matilda: whatever, I think we should go now....

Trystan: ....

Matilda: what are you doing Trystan, I said let's go!

Trystan: ... I'm coming.... Matilda.... listen....

Matilda: and by the way, according to your own rules, you're sworn to secrecy now!

Trystan: what?!

Matilda: you said whatever happens here stays here...

Trystan: I didn't say that exactly...

Matilda: well, that's what it meant anyway. I wouldn't know why you would want to tell this around anyway... you're too silly to even accept the help of a friend! I tried to help you Trystan, but you're beyond my help! So good luck with it, if you'll ever have the occasion to practise again *laughs*

Matilda: oh and by the way, should you tell this to anyone, I will be the first and only girl you will ever have kissed!

Trystan: what?!

Matilda: *laughs* Octavia told me how to cast the spell... and if you tell anyone the spell will be activated and you will be cursed forever Trystan! And you'll never get to kiss anyone else in your whole life! *laughs*

Trystan: What!!! Why did you do this!!!! Wait... had you planned all this all along??

Matilda: *laughs* yes... and no! Let's just say I owe your cousin and her boyfriend a big thank you *smiles*

Trystan: but why! And why me!

Matilda: oh Trystan you're so naive.... besides, I needed someone to practise on myself....

Trystan: you're... that's not fair! You tricked me!

Matilda: again, yes... and no... but the most important thing is that you're sworn to secrecy now! So no one will hear about this, otherwise you know what will happen *smirks* come on now, let's go....
