Last time (almost a year ago!!!) we left the Loves quite surprised by an unexpected visit from long lost relatives from Appaloosa Plains... surely it will be a good thing, right?
Elena: wow... I didn't know we had vampire cousins....
Aneira: they're not really cousins, they're.... er...
Trystan: grandma's sister's daughter's kids. So basically, mum's cousin's kids.
Ella: still, some kind of cousins. Cool!
Aneira: I don't know, they seem a bit....
Ella: dead? *laughs*Aneira: no, I meant evil... I don't know... there's something about them which is not quite right... what do you think, Trys?
Trystan: I---
Trystan: *sneezes*Ella: eww Trys, don't spread the germs please! It's almost my birthday, I don't have time to get ill right now!
Trystan: sorry...
Aneira: anyway, should we go in and meet the cousins?
Ella: are they in there?
Aneira: should be, they said they joined the class as they're planning to stay for a while....
Ella: cool! Then I'll have to invite them to my birthday party!
Elena: mmm not sure it's a good idea...Aneira: well, you don't have to, wait until you've met them first... as I said, there's something about them that makes me uneasy...
Ella: oh you two, stop being such spoilsport! What on earth are you worrying about? That they'll sneak up on you and turn you into a vampire? Actually, that could be fun!
Aneira: Ella! What are you saying!
Ella: relax An, I'm joking... you girls should chill a little, you know? Since when have you become such scaredy cats?
Aneira: I'm not scared, it's just....
Elena: it's just I don't like vampires!
Ella: oh come on girls... let's go see what these cousins look like, shall we?
Laura: oh my goodness, and you really have... fangs?Justin: er... I just call them teeth... but yeah, I guess...
Liz: gorgeous...
Adrienne: you are gorgeous!
Justin: er.... thanks....
Cynthia: that's soo cool! I had never met a vampire before, you must join our gang!
Oliver: uhm... possibly...
Octavia: oh come on girls, give the guys some air! Besides, I've already signed them up to our gang, so, no chance!Cynthia: rubbish....
Oliver: which gang?
Octavia: the family one, of course!
Ella: holy plumbob, look at that! Poor cousins, they're being assaulted...Elena: I really don't like vampires...
Tyler: don't worry love, you've got your knight in shiny armour to protect you *winks*
Ella: jeez, get a room guys!
Justin: er... would you excuse me ladies, I think my cousins have just arrived...Laura: I hope you're not seriously thinking of going to talk to those losers while you could stay here talking to us!?!
Justin: er... yeah, sorry....
Liz: outrageous...
Octavia: and the rest of the gang is here at last! I think not all of you have met our other cousins, Oliver and Justin?
Aneira: hi, again...Octavia: guys, this is Ella, our eldest... if you don't count Nick who's already left school...
Ella: jeez you make me sound so old!
Octavia: but you are, isn't your birthday coming up very soon? And I've heard you're planning to have a huge party! Isn't it great that our cousins have just turned up! It'll help you make new friends and feel at home guys, you'll see! Ella knows so many people!
Ella: er.. thanks Octavia, but I'd rather do the party invitations myself...
Ella: sorry, Octavia is a bit...er.... well you might have figured it out already... anyway, yes I'm having a party for my birthday tomorrow, and you and your brother are very welcome to come along!Oliver: great, thanks! We will! By the way, I couldn't help but notice...wow, you are beautiful... *grins*
Ella: what? Er... thanks...
Ella: ...
Oliver: it's not fair though, all the nice girls are cousins... please tell me you have some tasty girlfriends to introduce to us! *laughs*
Ella: ... tasty?Oliver: I meant beautiful! Obviously! Oh my goodness look at your face! *laughs*
Jimmy: what do you reckon?
Trystan: mmm not sure... but nothing good....
Trystan: I know they're cousins, but I think we should keep an eye on them... I thought so last night when we briefly met them and I think even more so now...Jimmy: yep... we don't want them to get any strange ideas....
Trystan: like what?
Jimmy: like that the biting season is open... have you seen how Justin is looking at your sister? Not good...
Trystan: I'm gonna kill him before he even thinks of hurting Annie...
Jimmy: wow, I've never seen you so... well... I don't know.... determined! Good stuff, bro!
Trystan: I'm not in the mood for dead people today...
Oliver: oh, and that behind you must be your sister Elena, right? Octavia told me all about the family... I think we're scaring her though...
Ella: yeah well... don't mind her, really....
Oliver: you need to tell her that we don't bite!
Ella: don't you?
Oliver: well, not family members *grins* and you girls are lucky to be family, you're all so beautiful that you're making it really hard for us *winks*
Ella:..... I probably should have listened to Aneira....
Justin: hey Aneira... what's up?Aneira: er... nothing really...
Justin: then why don't you look at me? Do I make you feel uneasy? *laughs*
Aneira: what? How...Trystan: hey mate, you got a problem?
Justin: what? Woah, who's a slightly over protective little brother? Who would have thought that of shy weird Trystan!
Trystan: weird! Have you looked at yourself in the mirror recently? Oh wait....
Justin: aha funny. Not.
Aneira: hey, just stop it already!Justin: he started it!
Trystan: no, you started it...
Justin: by doing what, exactly?
Trystan: by looking at my sister as if you wanted to bite her!
Justin: oops, touché!
Aneira: what!!
Justin: well, you are very beautiful dear cousin and had you not been family we certainly wouldn't be here having this conversation now *smirks*
Trystan: I'm so gonna kill you....
Justin: HOWEVER since, unfortunately, you happen to be family, you have nothing to fear from us. Unless you ask for it, of course... you know, it's not as bad as people say... besides, vampire bites are said to be able to mend a broken heart and take your mind off painful memories... or people.. so you might just want to try that, cousin *winks*
Aneira: how do you know!
Justin: my dear Aneira, your mind is like an open book for me....
Trystan: I'm so gonna kill you...
Octavia: mwahahahahahhhaa it was about time that the evil side of the family got more recruits! I can't wait for Ella's party tomorrow! Mwahahahahahahahaha
Tyler: this is not gonna end well....
Ella: Ann... you were right, these cousins are bad news....Aneira: I'm afraid so....
Ella: I wish I had listened to you and not invite them to the party...Aneira: oh my goodness are they coming?
Ella: yeah... sorry... I thought it would be cool... and also rude to not invite them...
Aneira: I know... but... what are we gonna do now!Ella: we're going to watch each other's backs, just in case there are lurking vampires around....
Aneira: but we can't do that forever! I think they're planning to stay well beyond Snowflake Day...
Ella: well... Oliver said they don't bite family so... we should be fine....
Elena: guys, wake up! These guys are vampires, we can't trust them! We need to do something! And certainly we can't invite them to our house for your birthday party, Ella!
Ella: but what would you have me do, sister? I couldn't not invite them to the party... besides, they already knew about it thanks to dear cousin Octavia....Aneira: and anyway, they would have found out as they can read minds....
Trystan: holy plumbob...
Trystan: I hope nobody reads mine.... !!!
Elena: WHAT!!!!!!!!!Oliver: ... and not only that, we can also have an extremely fine hearing... specially if people are shouting.
Tyler: this is so not gonna end well....
Oliver: we're right here, you know....Justin: .... mortals.... *sighs*
Adrienne: I just wish somebody would read my mind... why is it always about the Loves? It's not fair...
Clara: aaah, don't you just love swinging in the snowfall, Zoe? It's so cold I can't feel my nose anymore!Zoe: indeed! I'm not sure it's a good thing though...
Janet: come on girls, our turn now!Clara: just one more minute! Woo hoooo!
Amelia: poor Clara... I didn't know she was going through such a tough time... and yet she seems happy... such a brave girl!
Janet: yeah... although I think she feels lonely now that her mum and her big sister are gone...
Amelia: perhaps she's still in touch with them, I can't imagine them cutting all contacts with her...
Janet: and what about your cousin Trystan? I've heard rumours...
Amelia: what rumours?
Janet: people saying that they had a bad breakup and that's why Matilda is gone...
Amelia: rubbish, I think they were just friends... or not even that, she used to pester him all the time... otherwise we would have known, right?
Janet: I guess... but what I know is: if Eric dared break my sister's heart and forced her to leave I would not make him see another day!Amelia: haha I don't think you should worry about that, those two seem to be inseparable...
Janet: they'd better be... and they'd better invite me and James on a double date soon!
Amelia: why don't you just ask him?Janet: I don't know... he doesn't seem to care much...
Amelia: maybe... but things might change when we grow up!
Janet: we'll see...
Gareth: hey guys! How is the igloo proceeding?
James: almost finished! If you help us we might even be able to play in it before the lunch break is over!
Gareth: cool!
Chloe: tell me again about these vampire relatives, Lowri....Lowri: oh dear, not again! What do you want to know? You were there too, you met them!
Chloe: yeah... one of the most amazing things in my life!
Lowri: I thought they were a bit creepy actually....
Chloe: quite the contrary! They're so... interesting! And most interesting of all, I would have never thought that mum used to have a vampire best friend when she was a teenager!!
Lowri: they were cousins, same as you and me...
Chloe: I know! And I didn't know anything about it, until last night! Amazing, isn't it? How long did you say they're gonna stay? Mum was quite excited to spend time with her old friend again!
Lowri: I don't know... I overheard gran saying that they should be moving to the cottage and spend Snowflake day with us, then I've no idea...
Chloe: cool... we'll spend Snowflake Day with a family of vampires... it's the best present ever! Is it not? I can't wait!Lowri: not really.... I know you're a supernatural fan, but you're starting to creep me out as well Chloe, you know?
Jenny: almost done!Eric: yep, just the finishing touches now! What would you like to make it look like?
Jenny: ta dah!Eric: er... is that an alien?
Jenny: yes... oh no, is it awful?
Jenny: I just felt like doing one...
Eric: you're quite the artist, aren't you? I'm sure you'll be an amazing painter, or sculptor, or something... you know, art related!
Jenny: *laughs* thanks, Eric...
Eric: and hey, I was thinking... you know when we said we would go back to the cinema....Jenny: yes?
Eric: how about we go today! After school...
Jenny: sounds good! Shall I tell my sis---
Eric: no! I mean, how about this time we just go alone... the two of us?
Jenny: er... I guess we could do that, yes.... would be nice *smiles*Eric: awesome!
Jenny: wow, what's the hug for?Eric: it's because I'm happy and you're my best friend and we have a secret date to go to the cinema!
Jenny: why secret?Eric: well, if we tell the others they'll all want to come...
Jenny: right, it's a secret then *smiles*Eric: yes... and a date! Can't wait for school to be over! *grins*
Ella: okay guys, so what do we do?Elena: just tell them the party is cancelled or something...
Ella: no, I meant, what do we do for the party!
Elena: what!! Are you still thinking of having those creepy vampires as special guests? You can't do that!Ella: oh stop worrying sis! They're okay... they're a bit creepy, yes, but both myself and Aneira were told that they don't harm family so.... we're gonna be just fine...
Elena: no we're not!
Elena: Trystan, help me please, my sister seems to have lost her mind...Trystan: I don't like vampires... but I say they'll do less harm where we can all see them...
Ella: he's right... imagine if they they start roaming the town.... hunting.... *shivers* they're related to us, I think we are somehow responsible for them....Elena: you've got a point... but I wish you didn't!!
Tyler: I didn't know you could play guitar, Jimmy!Jimmy: well I couldn't until a couple of days ago... then I found this in the attic and gave it a try... I quite like it!
Tyler: and you're good! Isn't he, Trys?
Trystan: yeah!
Jimmy: you know what guys? I just had an idea... can you play anything?
Tyler: naaah, never tried!
Jimmy: well, perhaps you could give... I don't know.... drums a go!Tyler: why?
Jimmy: because then we could form a band! Me you and Trystan. And perhaps Nick if he doesn't mind joining his younger cousins, he doesn't seem to have time for us at all these days. We could start playing around and get some cash!
Tyler: actually, that's a quite cool idea.... I've got enough muscles to be able to play drums, look!
Tyler: Len what do you think? Should I join Jimmy's band? I think we could be good... we could become famous!Elena: oh dear...
Ella: guys, we've got guests...
Octavia: there you are guys! We've been looking all over the school for you!
Octavia: my sidekicks here thought you were avoiding them... which had better not be what you were doing, right?Ella: er... sidekicks?
Octavia: sidekicks, minions... whatever you want to call them.
Oliver: actually, we thought that we had a little misunderstanding this morning...
Justin: and we wanted to talk to you to make it right. We're quite the jokers, my brother and I, but we would never harm you guys, okay?
Aneira: er... thanks....good to know...
Oliver: exactly, you can trust us you know....
Justin: really, we just want us all to be friends!
Elena: I'm not so sure about that....
Octavia: see? No reason to worry! They're exactly like me! Are you afraid of me?Aneira: well....
Octavia: oh come on don't be silly, I'm your cousin! I would never harm you...
Aneira: I know that....
Octavia: and never would they!Aneira: mmm.....
Oliver: that's such good music... cousin Jimmy is good! Do you play, Trystan?Trystan: uhm... not at the moment...
Oliver: well, you should mate, imagine your girlfriend's face when she sees a sim-tube video of you guys playing... and realises what she's lost ... she might even decide to come back and forgive you! *smirks*Trystan: what---- you guys should stop reading people's minds! It's rude, and annoying, and has nobody ever explained the concept of privacy to you?
Oliver: sorry to disappoint you Trys, but your mind isn't that interesting to be worth the effort... I just listened to the school gossip...
Trystan: ... what school gossip?
Eric: so er.... here we are....Jenny: thanks Eric, it was lovely... and the movie was good this time!
Eric: really?Jenny: yes! And when all the robots overtook the evil doctor and his lab... totally awesome!
Eric: cool! I didn't know you liked sci-fi...
Eric: we can go and watch more then! Or we can have movie night and watch all the Star Wars DVDs... or something!Jenny: I would love that *smiles*
Eric: great! also, you know when this morning I said you were my best friend? I didn't really mean it.Jenny: oh... okay...
Eric: no, wait! What I meant was that... you are my best friend yes, but my brother is also my best friend, but I like you a lot more than my brother...
Jenny: *giggles* how much more?
Eric: a lot! A huge amount, not even comparable! So I think you should be more than my best friend... actually I thought, I would like if you... how about if I called you my----
Jenny: I think it's a great idea *smiles*Eric: wow.... thanks....
Jenny: *smiles*Eric: so what happens now?
Jenny: I don't know... perhaps we should go home? It's getting dark...
Eric: great! So take my arm sweetheart, I'm going to walk you home!Jenny: you're such a gentleman, Eric *smiles*
James: and where have you been, Eric?Lowri: yeah, we couldn't find you after school...and the funny thing was, Janet couldn't find Jenny either.... spill the beans, brother!
Eric: none of your business!Lowri: I think you had a date!
James: oh dear...
Eric: shut up you two!Lowri: *giggles*
Alice: what are you laughing about, Lo? Anything funny happened today?
Lowri: oh yes, something really funny happened after school! But not to me....Eric: *whispers* shut up Lowri!
Lowri: oh come on, don't be shy Eric, you can tell your family that you had a date with Jenny today! Oops... sorry *giggles*Eric: Lowri!!!!
James: well, you could have told me at least... I'm your twin brother!Eric: I---
June: a date! How sweet! But aren't you a bit too young for that, love?
June: I was a bit older when I had my first date with your grandfather... and I remember every minute of it! I can tell you all about it if you wanted to know... or if you needed any advice!*winks*Eric: oh dear...
Aneira: gran, they're just kids, it's not serious...
Eric: hey! What do you mean by that? Just because we're young it doesn't mean we have no feelings!
Leo: well... congratulations son!Eric: yeah well thanks...I'll just go wash my dish...
Lowri: how unnecessary bashful of you *giggles*
Leo: and who is the lucky lady?
James: child you mean... we're still kids! It's just for fun, I don't think Eric is serious...we're just kids we don't do dates other than playdates!
Eric: speak for yourself brother... and I wish you all would stop saying it's not serious, it's annoying, and you can't know anyway! You know what, just stop talking about this already.
Lowri: AND the mysterious girl is Jenny, you've met her dad...
Leo: ah, yes I know her!
Aneira: Trys, you alright? You look so sad...Leo: yes son, what's up?
James: isn't it obvious dad? He misses his girlfriend!
Trystan: ...
James: see how bad he is dad? He's not even reacting! I'll try again... Trys, I said GIRLFRIEND
Trystan: ...
Aneira: just leave him alone, James!James: sorry An... I forgot... you're missing your boyfriend too...
Aneira: right, I'm off. Need my daily violin practice...James: sorry....
Leo: .....
Lowri: you guys are so insensitive!Eric: hey, what did I do now?
James: you're my twin, you're blamed by osmosis!
Eric: oz...what?
Lowri: *laughs*
Lowri: ... so you've really taken up a new hobby An...Aneira: wait a minute Lo, I need to finish this...
Lowri: .... well, you're not that bad for being a beginner....
Aneira: nicely put, but to be honest I think I'm totally rubbish!
Lowri: well, you have to start somewhere... I'm sure you'll be great in no time!Aneira: aww thanks lovely...
Lowri: any time! So... how are you doing?
Aneira: meaning?
Lowri: you know what I mean...Aneira: no I don't. And I'm perfectly fine, as you can tell.
Lowri: no you're not! But you can tell me... and I can help you....
Aneira: Lo, this is very sweet, but I can't see how...
Lowri: we can help you sneak out and go see Arwyn in elfland or whatever that place is called...
Aneira: that's sweet Lo, but you know it's not possible... besides, I don't even know where this place is or how to get there...Lowri: no, but there's someone who does.... we've been thinking....
Aneira: "we"?
Lowri: James, Eric and I....
Aneira: aha... I knew where this was coming from!
Lowri: actually, if you must know, it was my idea. Anyway, we thought to send Glyn a Snowflake card with a secret message inside. And before you ask, we can ask dad to send it, he knows how to do it. And it's just a Snowflake Card, he can't suspect anything! If Glyn helps us....
Aneira: Lo, listen, I do appreciate that you're trying to help, but there's no point... it's not gonna work... I'll just wait and see....
Aneira: now, if you don't mind, I'm going to bed...Lowri: *sighs* they're not coming An! Dad said he got a response from evil auntie and they're not coming for Snowflake Day...
Aneira: .....I see.....
June: aaah, Snowflake Eve! There's something magic about this day, can you feel it Becks?Rebecca: uhm... not sure I can, no... and I'm a witch, I'm supposed to be the expert when it comes to magic...
June: no, not that magic, a different kind! The Snowflake magic!
June: you know, when it's cold and snowy outside, but you're snuggled up in the warmth indoors and read by candle light, when you are just happy to be with your family and feel all warm and peaceful inside... when the whole family comes over to celebrate all this with you...when you feel that all is well in the world, and if something is not, you are sure a Snowflake miracle will make it better... you know?Rebecca: aww I can almost feel it! I'm afraid we've never really celebrated Snowflake day, or time, in my family... vampires don't particularly like to feel all warm and snuggly you know... but yes, I think I remember the feeling from when we were kids...
June: and now you're here too! You're my Snowflake miracle sister, and I couldn't imagine a better Snowflake Day... with all my children and grandchildren around, and my dear little sister and her family too! It's just so... perfect! There's not a single thing out of place!
June: although.... actually, yes, there are a few things that are troubling some of the kids, but we can always hope in a Snowflake miracle, can we not?Rebecca: I wonder...
Aneira: hey grandma, happy Snowflake Eve!June: and to you darling, and to you....
Aneira: and we have great auntie Rebecca with us this year! We're gonna have a huge Snowflake Day party! Isn't it great?
June: it's terrific! Isn't it, dear sister?Rebecca: absolutely, and a totally new thing for us... we're used to quiet Snowflake Days and small family lunches... Oliver and Justin are gonna love it!
Aneira: ....
June: actually, speaking of lunch, I'd better go see how the fridge is doing... might need to send Arni to do some shopping in town...Aneira: oh, don't send grandpa, I can do it if you want!
June: no worries dear, you go get ready for the big party tonight, and leave the lunch to me!
Aneira: it's not a big party grandma... it's just Ella's birthday...Rebecca: oh yes, I remember Oliver mentioned it... so kind of you kids to invite my boys!
Aneira: ah... er...sure.....
Rebecca: They've just been talking about how welcoming you guys have been... you know, back in Appaloosa Plains their classmates weren't very.... well, not that great really. It'll do them good to finally make some decent friends!
June: yes, you young ones go and have fun, and leave the oldies to sort out Snowflake Day! And hopefully this will put a smile on your brother's face for once... where is he anyway, I haven't seen him the whole morning...
Aneira: he's in his inventing room... as usual.... he seems to be spending even more time in there lately...
Trystan: there, I found it!
Trystan: stupid coding error, I finally found you! You can't hide any longer, ha!
Trystan: done! Sorted... it should work now.... hopefully....
Trystan: yeeeeeees!!!! It works!!!!!!! That's a new step towards my first plumbot!!!! Woo hoooo I'm sooooo happy!!!!!
Trystan: ... and now it's gone. I just realised we need to go to Ella's birthday party *sighs* I don't feel very sociable tonight, I wish I could just stay here and make progress on my plumbot....
Aneira: ....Lowri: you look great, sis!
Lowri: it's good to see you smiling again!Aneira: I'm not smiling, just checking the make up...
Lowri: but you made an effort and dressed up! I didn't know we were supposed to dress up? Now I want to do it as well!
Aneira: you don't need to, Lo... it's just a birthday party... but Elena said that we might go out afterwards so...
Lowri: cool! I'm gonna dress up as well then!Aneira: er... I think Elena meant that we could go out in a bar or a club or something like that...
Lowri: cool, I'm coming too!
Aneira: but... I'm not sure kids are allowed....
Lowri: rubbish! Now, will you help me choose a dress please? And then I'll text the cousins and tell them to get ready to go dancing! It's gonna be fun, you'll see!
Aneira: ....
Aneira: and here we are! Looks like the others are already in...
Eric: cool! Can't wait to see Jen again! I'm so happy Tyler decided to bring his sisters along!Aneira: calm down Eric, and wear your coat for goodness' sake! You're gonna freeze to death!
Oliver: sorry, I think that's my fault... he said he wanted to be as cool as us to impress his friend...
Aneira: I say "cool" is the right word here, as in frozen to the bone! Men... *sighs* come on, let's go in...
Ella: hello guys! We were waiting for you!James: sorry, it took ages for my sisters to get ready...
Lowri: hey, I'm right here!
James: well, it's true! Anyway, happy birthday Ella!Ella: thanks James... Annie, you look wonderful!
Ella: about time you came out of your crappy mood phase!Aneira: I was not in a crappy mood phase...
Ella: well, you know what I mean. Great to see you're back! And we're going to hit the dance floor later tonight, you'll see, it's gonna be the best night ever and you'll forget all about Arwyn!
Aneira: ... and if you don't mention his name I'll feel even better...
Trystan: over who?
Ella: never mind *whispers* not quite there yet, is he?
Aneira: nope...
Ella: anyway, I couldn't wait to tell you!Aneira: tell me what?
Ella: Harry... he's here! And he's dashing.... I don't know what I was thinking back then with Berwyn... Harry is my one true love, I'm sure of it now!
Aneira: well... I guess it's a good thing?
Ella: but of course it is! I don't know what was wrong with him, but he seems to be back to his usual self tonight. It's like old times, for both of us, isn't it great?Aneira: indeed... well, I'm happy for you El! After all this time...
Ella: well, nothing has happened yet but... I have a positive feeling about tonight *winks*
Lowri: Eric, what are you still doing here? I thought you were dying to say hello to Jenny!Eric: it's quite embarrassing sis, but....
Lowri: but?
Eric: *whispers* I think I'm stuck!
Lowri: you're what?
Eric: I'm stuck! I can't reach her!
Lowri: but she's right there, waiting for you?!
Eric: I know! Go figure....Lowri: *facepalm*
James: hey guys, what's going on here?
Zoe: they're playing a soccer game and we're watching...
Chloe: how interesting....
Jimmy: hey Trys, how's it going?Trystan: uhm... alright... I guess... I was on the point of a major breakthrough but they came to fetch me as we needed to come here... they even made me change! I mean, really? It's just Ella's birthday party for plumbob's sake...
Jimmy: right, not going very well then, you're grumpy... but hey, at least you got the memo about hitting the town after the birthday celebrations! Even my sisters got it, and you would think they could have told their big brother but oh well... I guess I'll have to come as I am...
Trystan: oh no, so that's what the fuss is all about? I so don't want to go out... in fact, I just want to stay the shortest amount of time possible and go back to work on my inventions...
Jimmy: no pal, you can't leave me alone here, please! Adrienne is in hunting mood tonight... scary!Trystan: uh, what?
Jimmy: she's on a hunt! A man hunt... she already tried her charms on me but I managed to get away... for now! But who knows...
Trystan: that girl is scary...
Jimmy: yeah, sorry, I forgot you've been there already... and all the mess that happened...
Trystan: yeah...Jimmy: sorry...
Oliver: .....
Oliver: so many kids... and everyone seems to be family... I was more counting to meet Ella's other friends... disappointing....
Janet: jeez Adrienne, what are you wearing? There's no catwalk here! *giggles*Lowri: oh dear... that looks like a girl with a mission...
Adrienne: hi guys!Lowri: ouch... Annie I think big brother has been targeted... again...
Aneira: oh dear....
Adrienne: Trystan, you look smashing tonight!Jimmy: Looks like she's changed target... sorry mate...
Adrienne: hey, I just paid you a compliment... you could at least reciprocate!Trystan: er.... Jimmy, help!
Jimmy: er.....
Jimmy: you look good too, Adrienne....Adrienne: shut up I'm not talking to you. So, Trystan, shall we continue from where we left it at the prom? *winks*
Trystan: ... excuse me?
Adrienne: from right before my ex best friend Matilda decided to spoil my evening... I expect you haven't heard from her, so you're still free, yes?
Trystan: I....
Jimmy: leave him alone, Adrienne, find yourself another prey!
Adrienne: well, it's always been Trystan for me... I was just waiting for the right time, for the stars to align... this, plus some Snowflake magic... looks like our time has come, dear Trys, tonight it's just you and me *winks*
Aneira: it's not getting any better...Ella: no, perhaps it's time to get the party started and blow these candles...
Aneira: are you ready?
Ella: yes... I think... it's scary, growing up ... but I'll finally be able to talk to Harry as equals... it's tonight or never!
Aneira: good luck, El....
Ella: oh my goodness, I can't believe I'm going to be a responsible young adult after tonight!Lowri: allegedly responsible...
Aneira: yay! Go, El!
Alex: woo hooo big sister is becoming an old lady!
Ella: wait a minute.... do I really want to do this?Elena: well, you don't really have a choice, El... we must all grow up, sooner or later...
Ella: then I'll make a wish....but I won't tell anyone otherwise it won't come true!Octavia: as if we didn't know what it was.... even Harry knows!
Harry: why do I have the uncomfortable feeling that someone is talking about me?
Nick: woohooo finally another cousin coming to the dark side! I meant, young adulthood side...
Elena: go on sis, blow those candles!Ella: yay!!!! And now we wait for the sparkles to come!
Harry: it's so weird seeing her becoming a young adult... I still remember the little girl who used to be my shadow... it's sad that time has made us grow apart... I wish we could be friends again...
Harry: but I'm proud of the young woman she has become... I just wish she could be happy... as I am...
Elena: come on sis, what are you waiting for?Ella: the sparkles haven't come yet!
Ella: Harry! Can you believe it? I'm growing up! I'm finally going to be the same age as you... kind of.... isn't it exciting? I can't wait!Harry: ....
Ella: at last! Here come the sparkles!Aneira: good luck, El....
Ella: ta dah! How do I look, Harry?Harry: beautiful as always...
Ella got natural cook as her final trait and a LTW of being superpopular!
Ella: awww thanks, Harry...Elena: .....
Alex: now, is it time for cake already?
Ella: yep, but birthday girl first!Alex: rubbish...
Ella: go on, little brother, your turn!Chloe: yay, cake!
Alex: back off cousin, I started queuing first!
Zoe: ... and here we go again....
Alex: hey! I was first!Chloe: oh come on Alex, so much fuss for a piece of cake... you should have been quicker!
Alex: it's not fair, I was here first!
Jenny: what is not fair?
Alex: hey! Stop taking my slice of cake!
Adrienne: oh cool, snowcones! Definitely a better option that queuing forever for a cake that will disappear before you get there anyway... good choice, Oliver!
Oliver: I hope you like mint.Adrienne: er... yeah... but I think I'll go for strawberry myself...
Oliver: minty bites feel better, or so I've been told.Adrienne: er, what?! Haha funny....
Tobias: ..... hey kid, relative or not, no biting allowed in my house, understood?
Ella: hey Oliver, are you enjoying the party?Oliver: honestly, do even you have any friends that are not related to us?
Ella: excuse me?
Oliver: nevermind, I think I found the only available one... I think that'll do... for tonight. But really, you should make more friends!
Ella: I don't know what you're talking about... but you sound a bit rude and that's not nice!
Oliver: this party sucks.
James: well, you can always leave, you know...Chloe: James, don't be rude to our cousin!
James: cousin or not, he's a guest and he's insulting Ella's party. I do not like it!
Lowri: actually, brother has a point you know... that's not nice and you should apologise to Ella... and to us!
Chloe: Lowri! Stop being so rude! *whispers* you know I've been hoping to make friends with our cousins the whole evening... and now that one comes to sit at our table you drive him away! Just shut up already!Lowri: whatever...
Chloe: don't listen to the rude cousins, Oliver, I also think that this party is not great...Lowri: no you don't!
Chloe: *whispers* shut up!
Oliver: *laughs*
James: and anyway, what would you suggest to make it nicer?
Oliver: oh, a lot of things come to mind... *laughs*
Tobias: ....
James: like what?
Oliver: oh, like getting out of this rat hole and hitting the town... in the right clubs of course!Tobias: excuse me, this rat hole happens to be my house, and if you don't like it, you're very welcome to leave...
James: that's so rude, how are we even related? Besides, this club thing sounds sooo boring... not my idea of fun at all! I'd rather stay here and play console games...
Alex: I knew it.... I knew it! It's always the same... always the same!Eric: I know, I don't even try anymore....
Tyler: ouch, all this waiting for nothing! Where's the cake gone?
Zoe: yay for snowcones.... Although I'd rather have a hot chocolate... it's freezing cold outside!
Ella: so, where are we going now?Aneira: I don't know, I think the birthday girl should decide!
Ella: but I have no idea... where do grown ups go at night? I want to go to a cool place...Aneira: perhaps you should ask Harry...
Ella: good idea... hey Harry! What are you doing now?Harry: uhm... nothing?
Ella: good, because you're taking me to hit the dance floor tonight.
Harry: er... am I?
Ella: only if you want to live until tomorrow.
Aneira: ...
Harry: what?!Ella: I'm joking, Harry... but we want to go dancing and I don't know where the cool places are, so maybe you can take me? I mean, all of us?
Adrienne: what are you doing here, Zoe? It's strange to see you alone... where have you left your sister?Zoe: I'm actually hiding from her...
Adrienne: and why would you do that?
Chloe: there you are, Zoe! I've been looking for you...Zoe: great...
Chloe: now, you need to help me with the plan, as you promised to....Adrienne: what plan?
Zoe: *sighs* Chloe wants to ask the vampire cousins to take her to a vampire place but she's not brave enough to do it... honestly Chloe, this interest of yours with the supernatural is starting to become creepy...
Chloe: no, this is fascinating! Shush, there he is!
Adrienne: interesting... well girls, perhaps I can help you with that one...
Adrienne: hey, Oliver...Oliver: hey there, I was looking for you...
Adrienne: you were looking for me?! Wow, how sweet...Oliver: actually, I was hoping to catch you alone, I wanted to.... but it looks like we have got an audience...
Adrienne: oh never mind them, they're just kids...Chloe: hey!
Adrienne: you were saying?
Adrienne: What did you want to do... after you were hoping to catch me alone? *grins*Zoe: .... I may vomit....
Oliver: *smiles* well, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go out with me tonight, after the party... I know a couple of places....
Adrienne: that would be awesome!
Chloe: hey, what about us?Adrienne: oh, kids are not allowed in the places we want to go to, right Oliver?
Zoe: not that I want to come but... that's mean Adrienne, that was not what you told us you would say!
Adrienne: whatever...
Oliver: well, I don't see why you couldn't come too, kids!
Adrienne: wait, what? I thought this was a date?
Chloe: but of course we can come, right sister? That would be amazing!! Thank you so much, Oliver!
Zoe: but I don't want to go....
Jimmy: don't leave me alone, please!Trystan: but I really don't feel like dancing... I just want to go home and keep working on the plumbot station... besides, looks like Adrienne has found a new pray, you should be safe!
Jimmy: yes but for how long? Oh come on Trys, please! I want to go out but I don't want to go on my own... pretty please!Trystan: fine... but I won't stay long....
Chloe: right guys, we're off!Janet: everybody seems to be off somewhere...
Harry: are you coming with us?
Chloe: no, we have a cooler place to go to... we're going to a vampire club! *grins*
Zoe: please sister, reconsider.... I really don't wanna go....
Adrienne: come on Oliver, the night awaits!Ella: ....
Ella: why, look at her... she finally got herself a man...Aneira: a vampire, you mean! Goodness El, should we not warn her?
Ella: I'm sure she knows what she's doing... besides, for once she'll be out of the way while I can spend the evening with Harry...
Oliver: right, let's fetch my brother and go... this night will be a memorable one, you'll see... and if you're lucky, it might even be your last....Adrienne: what...
Oliver: I'm joking! I meant your last... as a human *grins*
Aneira: oh no....Ella: that's not good, is it...
Aneira: nope...
Ella: please tell me I can just go hit the dance floor with Harry and forget mentioning that his sister is out with the creepy cousins and probably getting turned into a vampire before sunrise...
Aneira: Ella...
Ella: argh!! Stupid stupid Adrienne, she always needs to ruin everything!!! And on my birthday too!!! I wanted to go dancing, I don't want to look after an idiot who can't look after herself!
Aneira: she'll probably be fine... but perhaps we should just go with them first, make sure she's alright and then we can go somewhere else.... perhaps vampire clubs have a dance floor too...
Ella: I so hate that girl....
Tobias: hey sweetheart... why the sad face?Scarlette: our girl has grown up Toby... time flies so quickly....
Tobias: I know... but hey, that time was a very happy one for us, I hope it will be the same for Ella!
Scarlette: I very much hope so.... I hope she'll find her true love too.. and maybe we'll get to be grandparents soon!
Tobias: woah, slow down there.... I don't feel old enough to be a grandfather just yet!
Tobias: actually, do you think it will be long before the guests leave us in peace? I wouldn't mind having a night with my wife...Scarlette: *giggles* I don't think you're in luck today Toby... these little ones look like they're gonna stick around for a while...
Tobias: oh bollocks...
Lowri: you don't look happy...Zoe: because I'm not! But thanks for coming, Lowri...
Lowri: no problem... but are you sure we can go? I mean, are kids allowed in vampire lounges?
Zoe: I so hope not... but I think they'll find a way to let us in... or Chloe will. Once she's on to something she doesn't let go that easily...
Lowri: maybe it will be fun....
Zoe: I doubt that. I just wish my sister would see how creepy these cousins are... instead of tagging along like a puppy... I worry for her sometimes... one of these days she's gonna do something really stupid and get into trouble....
Lowri: not if we're around to make sure she doesn't...
Zoe: true, but I don't want to spend my life looking after my sister!Adrienne: but Harry, you can't come with us, I thought you were going dancing with Ella?
Harry: I'm so not letting you go out with these vampires on your own, Adrienne! If you can't be talked into coming with us, then we'll come with you, to... whatever this place is....
Oliver: it's a vampire lounge...
Harry: a what?! Really sister, why would you want to go there....
Adrienne: just don't come then!
Harry: right, we'll come to this vampire lounge with you...
Adrienne: oh, please! Why do you always have to ruin everything!!
Aneira: looks like the decision is made...
Ella: I so hate that girl....
Octavia: guys, we're going, are you coming?Elena: where, to the creepy place? No thank you, we'd rather stay here....
Octavia: oh, come on guys, it's gonna be fun!
Tyler: there's no way I'm gonna take Len in one of your creepy places again. You go have fun!
Octavia: you're such a boring lot....
Ella: mum, dad, we're off....Scarlette: have fun, love!
Ella: not so sure about that....Elena: have fun sister! And don't get yourself bitten! *laughs* If you change your mind, we'll be at the usual club, dancing the night away...
Ella: oh shut up..... why do I have to be a responsible young adult now? Can I be a crazy teenager again?
Aneira: too late... come on El, it might not be that bad... and if we don't like it we can always join Elena and Tyler...
Ella: but Harry would not want to come, now that he's figured out his sister is having a date with a vampire... *sighs* life is so hard...
Chloe: Justin, thank you so much for taking me to this vampire place! It's a dream of a lifetime come true!
Justin: no problem little cousin, no problem *grins*
Lowri: I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this... very bad feeling....
Oliver: here we are! Welcome to the Red Velvet Lounge, home to the most dreadful vampires in town!
Zoe: oh dear, what are we doing here, sister...Oliver: scared?
Chloe: not one bit, actually, come on, let's get in!
Nick: uhm... I don't like this place... can we go somewhere else?
Harry: oh come on Nick, it can't be that bad...they're just trying to scare the little ones...surely?
Nick: precisely, what kind of cousins would do that? I don't like these guys...
Harry: well, my sister seems to like them so we're staying. For a bit at least. Alright?
Nick: *sighs* hopefully they'll have some nice drinks at the bar....
Octavia: mwahahaha we're finally here! I can't wait to... well, I can't say, it's a secret!Chloe: woo hooo we're in a vampire lounge!
Zoe: I'm not sure what all the fuss is about... it's dark and creepy and full of velvety things, it's not fun at all...
Justin: now, everybody be quiet. You don't want to upset the other vampires AND, more importantly, you don't want to make us look bad, okay? Humans don't usually wander around this place and kids are not really allowed... so, just keep quiet unless you want to become a midnight snack, okay?
Lowri: midnight... snack?Amelia: I so must have a word with my sister... how could she tell me this place was safe and kids friendly!
Adrienne: sounds like fun, now, shall we get the night started?
Amelia: honestly Octavia, are you not ashamed of yourself? Taking your siblings and cousins to this horrible place... Gareth is freaking out poor thing!Octavia: oh, relax sister, it's alright... those two just like to boast... and enjoy freaking you kids out, had you not noticed?
Amelia: and what about the kids friendly place? There's nothing kids friendly in this place, even the carpet is creepy!Octavia: this place is perfectly fine... now, if you excuse me, I have somewhere else to be...
Amelia: you always have some other place to be! I'm starting to think you convinced us to join the party just to be allowed to stay out yourself... mum and dad wouldn't have let you otherwise...
Octavia: ... seriously baby sis, you have such a funny brain, making up all these stories *laughs*
Amelia: I can't believe it! The least you could do is tell us what this is all about, and why we're wasting our evening in this horrible place instead of being at home playing console games!
Zoe: even that seems more appealing tonight... can we please go home and play games?
Octavia: ... look, it won't take long okay? You lot just go and have fun, get a juice or something... I'll come and fetch you when it's time to go. And don't follow me for any reason, understood? See you later kids!
Harry: perhaps you were right... I don't like this place....Nick: well, it seems quite empty which is probably a good thing... I'll go get us some drinks, and then perhaps we can go, your sister seems quite alright with her new friends...
Harry: I'm not so sure about that....
Harry: I'm keeping an eye on you, Ade!Adrienne: no need Harry, just go home!
Chloe: this place is so cool! I had never heard this music before! And I can't believe I'm dancing in a vampire lounge! Wait till I tell everyone... I'll be the most popular girl in the whole school!
Nick: I just hope they'll have blood-free drinks as well...
Chloe: come on guys, join me on the dance floor, it's fun!Lowri: well, since we're here, I guess we could---
Zoe: no way, I'm gonna sit here and not move until it's time to leave!
Lowri: *sighs* okay... but I don't think there's anything to be afraid of, this room looks quite alright...
Zoe: I wouldn't be so sure... I mean, have you looked at the bar tender? Or that guy sitting at the bar? They look quite dead to me, that's not normal....Lowri: they're vampires, they're supposed to look dead....
Zoe: well, there are way too many dead-looking people in this room. That's creepy!
Amelia: here comes Octavia... I wonder what's behind that door... don't you?
Gareth: I don't care, I just want to get out of here....
Amelia: but don't you ever wonder what this big mystery is?Gareth: no, she told us not to follow her, and I'm quite happy to just do that. She scares me...
Amelia: oh come on Gareth, she's our big sister!
Gareth: and she's scary... I'm quite happy to stay in ignorance of her dealings... it must be nothing good anyway... let's just hope whatever she's doing won't take too long so that we can go home...
Ash: about time! I was starting to think you were going to stand me up...Octavia: you know I would never do that.... I was... delayed...
Ash: delayed! Wo dared delay my date...
Octavia: long story... but let's just say, I was finding myself a very good cover story...
Ash: does that involve doing some evil? *smirks*
Octavia: but of course! Don't you know me at all? *winks*
Ash: that's my girl!
Oliver: not many people around tonight, just old Art as usual... disappointing...Adrienne: well, who cares, the important ones are right in front of you....
Oliver: uh, what?
Adrienne: I'm bored of dancing, shall we go somewhere more... private?Oliver: oh wow... well, I'm not that hungry yet, shall we dance some more first?
Adrienne: okay... but not for too long.... these shoes are killing me!
Ella: what's up Nick?Nick: I don't like this place... can we go somewhere else?
Harry: not unless my sister comes with us. And I don't think she's likely to do that...
Nick: Ella, can you not do anything about this? It's your birthday! Surely you've got some decision power here?Ella: I think it's alright, actually... the drinks are not bad....
Ella: besides, I don't mind being here with you, Harry...Harry: ....
Ella: do you want to dance?Harry: er.... I'm not really in the mood to dance...
Ella: well, I am. See you on the dance floor....
Aneira: .....
Nick: actually, why not, since we're here and everybody seems to be dancing...
Harry: I thought you didn't like it here, Nick...Nick: oh come on Harry, if we have to waste the evening in this Plumbobforsaken place, we may as well dance it off! At least they've got good music! Come on Harry, let's hit the dance floor!
Justin: hey An, would you like to dance with me?
Aneira: er... thanks, but no thanks.... I just want to speak to Ella...
Aneira: El... are you alright?Ella: yeah sure! Look at me, I just became a responsible young adult and I'm dancing my birthday night away in a creepy vampire place, isn't it awesome?
Aneira: er... if you're sure....
Nick: ouch that was my foot!Harry: sorry...
Oliver: .... your brother seems to be enjoying himself....Adrienne: at last! Let's go now that he's busy and he won't notice...
Oliver: ...alright babe, if you say so....
Adrienne: so.... er... that's cosy....
Oliver: *laughs* glad you like it! Now, let's get down to business...
Oliver: you look very pretty tonight, Adrienne...Adrienne: aww, thank you... I love the way you say my name... everybody else just call me Ade...
Adrienne: and you look very pretty too... I mean, handsome, you are very handsome...Oliver: er... thanks...
Oliver: so, how do you want to do this... the quick way or the slow way....Adrienne: I don't know, whatever way you prefer... *giggles*
Oliver: *smirks* okay then...
Oliver: aaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Adrienne: *shrieks*
Adrienne: Oliver, what are you doing!Oliver: you just wait and see....
Oliver: loook...aaaat.... meeeeeeeeeee.....
Adrienne: ......Oliver: so... did it work?
Adrienne: yes it did...Oliver: What---!!!!
Oliver: get.....
Oliver: ....off me!!! What do you think you're doing!!!!Adrienne: what....what did you think I was doing?
Adrienne: it's what we came here for, right?Oliver: but of course not! What were you thinking!
Oliver: ewww that's disgusting!Adrienne: excuse me?! That's rude!
Oliver: you've totally ruined my dinner!
Adrienne: dinner?!
Oliver: yes, dinner, yes!
Oliver: What else did you think we came here for?Adrienne: .... not this....
Ella: ..... so much for the "I'm not in the mood for dancing".....
Ella: looks like he's having the time of his life to me.... and not with me! He'd rather dance with his friend than with me... how pathetic is that?Aneira: El... you know he can behave a bit strangely at times....
Ella: I know... I just feel stupid that after all this time a part of me is still hoping that one day he'll realise that we are made for each other....
Jimmy: you sure you don't want to dance?Trystan: no thanks... but you go ahead....
Jimmy: I feel like an idiot dancing on my own... you know what Trys? I'm bored, I need to go and get myself a new girlfriend...
Trystan: what happened to the previous one?
Jimmy: didn't work out... she was too clingy... got jealous of the other girls...
Trystan: the... what! Jimmy!! That's bad!!
Jimmy: don't blame me, I just like the girls you know... and they like me! But after that episode I thought I should take a break... but I'm bored now.... what do you think of that girl at the bar? She looks quite alright doesn't she?
Trystan: she.... she's dead, Jimmy....
Jimmy: oh well, just a little... but you're right, I'm quite pathetic...
Chloe: so, where are all the other vampires you were telling me about?Justin: well, I'm not sure, I thought they would all be here....
Chloe: this place is not as cool as I thought it would be....
Justin: well, if they're not here, you know where they could be?Chloe: where?
Justin: in the other hidden rooms to feed on humans like you... *smirks*
Chloe: cool! Can I go see?
Justin: holy Plumbob cousin, there's nothing that scares you, is there?
Chloe: nope. Now, I'm tired of dancing, what else do you do to get entertained in this place?
Ella: he really seems to be enjoying himself...Aneira: ...well....
Ella: don't say anything. Cheers...Aneira: .....
Amelia: right, I've had enough, I'm gonna go find my sister...Zoe: no, don't! She said not to....
Amelia: she's my sister, she's not gonna jinx me... or else I'll tell mummy!
Adrienne: I'm out of this wretched place! I won't stay with these horrible people a second longer... at least Harry didn't even notice I was gone... oh well, I hope his evening turns out better than mine...
Aneira: hey, wasn't that Adrienne?Ella: What did you say? Nevermind, let's just order another batch of this mysterious thing here...
Ella: you know what? This place is incredibly lively for being dead! *laughs*Aneira: oh goodness, what's in these cocktails?
Amelia: gotcha!Ash: and where does this one come from? Hey kid, didn't you read the privacy sign outside?
Octavia: oh dear...
Octavia: what are you doing here, Amelia, I thought I had been quite clear...Ash: do you know her?
Amelia: Octavia is my big sister, and you are?
Ash: oh great... I didn't know you had brought the family with you...
Octavia: it's complicated... and you shouldn't have come looking for me Amelia, it's a vampire club after all, not a place for a little girl... you shouldn't have gone wandering, it's dangerous, you could have met... other kinds of people...
Amelia: but I didn't, and I found you two instead *smiles*
Amelia: now, what's your deal?Ash: why are you sitting down...Octavia why is she sitting down...
Octavia: *sighs* she won't go until she gets what she wants, so we'd better get straight to the point... and now what, Amelia?
Amelia: I want to know, of course!Octavia: know what?
Amelia: about him...
Octavia: what about him?
Amelia: are you two... on some kind of date? Is he... like....your boyfriend? *giggles*
Ash: oh dear... I'm right here you know....
Zoe: can we go home already?Lowri: I don't think so, Chloe just went in that creepy room with one of the cousins...
Gareth: to play chess! Can you believe it? They have a chessboard in here! Cool! I wanna watch!
Zoe: oh dear...
Lowri: and we need to wait for Amelia anyway, so we may as well go watch the game...
Chloe: uhm.....Zoe: oh come on Chloe, get a move on I want to go home....
Chloe: shut up sister, I'm concentrating...
Gareth: it's not as fun as I thought it would be...
Chloe: oh guys, you're sooo boring! This is the best night of my life!
Chloe: and where have you been?Oliver: none of your business kid. Justin, I think we should go somewhere else...there's nothing for us here tonight.
Chloe: wait a minute, we're playing a game here, we need to finish first!
Chloe: Amelia! I had not seen you for a while...
Zoe: have you found Octavia?
Amelia: I have...
Gareth: and? Are we going home?
Amelia: yes... but I think we're on our own... perhaps we can ask Jimmy and Trystan to take us home?
Gareth: why? Why is Octavia not coming?
Amelia: long story....
Oliver: there you go kids, bed time! Off you go....
Chloe: that's rubbish, we were playing!Oliver: Justin, we need to talk.
Justin: what's up, brother? Where's....
Oliver: gone. And so should we. Let's go find some other place which is more... lively. I'm bored. And still hungry...
Lowri: hey Trys, you having fun? I think we're ready to go home...
Trystan: and me! Shall we go?Lowri: wow, you don't look like you have enjoyed one bit...
Trystan: that's because I haven't... if I need to spend time with the dead, I'd rather be with my bot parts...
Lowri: wow, sounds like you had a very bad evening! It wasn't great to be honest, although now that I think of it, I'm sad I didn't give dancing a go... do you think I have five minutes for a little dance?
Trystan: fine, but just a quick one and then we're off... I'll go tell Annie and Ella... but remember that it's Snowflake Eve! If you don't go to bed early Santa won't come!Lowri: yeah yeah, well I guess we're way past the going to bed early thing anyway so... but thanks Trys! Actually, on an afterthought... just in case they're staying a bit longer... I think I wouldn't mind staying a bit longer as well... to dance...
Jimmy: Zoe, is everything ok?Zoe: yeah, I've just had enough of this place, can we go home please?
Amelia: and if you don't mind, can you take me and Gareth home as well? I don't think my sister is coming any time soon...
Jimmy: of course... where's Chloe?
Zoe: talking to her new dead friends of course...
Trystan: An, I think we're making a move, the kids want to go home... are you two coming?Aneira: I don't think so... Ella is in a bit of a state....
Trystan: oh dear... but even more so, wouldn't it be better if you came home with us?Aneira: I think she needs to talk... you know... *whispers* about Harry...
Trystan: he was probably the only one to enjoy this place, together with Nick! They danced the night away, did you see?
Aneira: yes well... she had hoped on a different outcome poor thing...
Jimmy: Trys, we're going...
Aneira: you go ahead Trys, don't worry about us, we'll be home soon. And this place looks quite dead anyway *laughs* Really, we --- well, Ella will have a couple of more drinks and then I'll take her home.
Trystan: actually, Lowri asked if she can stay and dance a bit longer... do you mind?
Aneira: no, that's fine, you guys go home, we'll be there in a bit!
Ella: what's going on?
Aneira: they're going home...
Ella: already? But that's sooo early!
Aneira: they're taking the kids home... except Lowri who's staying with us...
Ella: there's a good party girl! It's my birthday after all, have they all forgotten?
Chloe: why do we need to go? Lowri is staying, I want to dance with Lowri!Jimmy: no way, you've created enough troubles for tonight.
Chloe: I have not!
Jimmy: I don't like this thing you have for vampires Chloe, it will get you into troubles....
Chloe: it will not!
Lowri: wooo hooo this is fun! Now we're finally talking... I'm the queen of the dance floor!
Ella: what an ungrateful birthday crowd... it's just you and Lowri left to celebrate with me... I can't believe it!Aneira: well, Harry and Nick are still here as well...
Aneira: .... El, you've had a few already... and I think I'm okay....
Ella: rubbish, I haven't tried half of what's on the cocktails list! Now, can I please have something different...
Ella: ...something that I haven't tasted yet?Bartender: sure, the next down the list?
Ella: whatever, just make sure it's strong enough, it's my birthday, you know!
Bartender: well, happy birthday then! Are you having a good one?Ella: I mean, seriously? I'm in a vampire bar drinking the night away, what do you think?
Bartender: well, I'm sure you'll feel better after this one. Give it a try!
Ella: I hope it's strong enough. What do you think An?Aneira: er... I think you've had enough to drink already... remember what happened last time?
Ella: mmmm oh yes! That was the night of the Spooky Day party. I was upset about Harry. And had too many drinks with....
Ella: jeez An, did you have to bring this up right now? As if I wasn't feeling bad already...
Aneira: sorry... I just meant to say that we had to carry you home and you felt rubbish the day after, so perhaps it wouldn't be wise to keep drinking... I didn't want to bring up Berwyn and---
Ella: don't say that name!
Aneira: I'm sorry....Ella: whatever, my life is rubbish and we all know that. Just don't remind me of my lowest points! Although, it was fun while it lasted you know... I do miss him... at least he seemed to like me... although he must do that with all the girls, he was that kind of guy, so annoying... but he was sooo hot...
Aneira: oh dear, why can't I keep my mouth shut....
Ella: but, he didn't say goodbye either, did he? Men, they're all the same... do you think he's moved on to someone else now? Well, he must surely have... and what about Arwyn?
Aneira: Ella, stop, you're drunk!Ella: sorry, I didn't mean it... but how come I can't mention Arwyn and you feel free to mention his brother? Eh? I mean--- oh hello Lowri, I didn't see you there...
Lowri: that's because I just arrived... I'm tired now, can we go home?
Ella: but of course not, it's my birthday! We're staying out as late as I want to.
Bartender: actually, this is no place for a little girl, it can get.... busy in an hour or so. And you don't want to be here when that happens...Ella: oh dear, and why is that?
Lowri: do you mean the vampires come in late? So... the cousins were boasting about being regulars in here but had actually no clue?
Bartender: which cousins? Oh the two vampires that were with you you mean... actually, I'm not sure I've seen them before...Lowri: so, they were cheating! I knew it! What a joke...
Bartender: but maybe Art knows more... now, he's one of our regular customers... what do you say Art?
Arthur: for the millionth time, it's Arthur. And yes I've seen them come in with their father once but that's it. Must be from out of town, they seemed pretty out of place.
Lowri: I knew they were a cheat! Ha! Told ya! I know when I smell lies...Aneira: *laughs*
Ella: so, let me get this straight: these cousins are just pretending to be cool vampires... while they're just... uncool vampires.... shocking!
Lowri: er... yeah, shocking....
Ella: I'd better drink over this.Aneira: Ella, please, stop drinking!
Aneira: And remember we've got Lowri with us...Ella: yeah, right, sorry Lowri, please don't do what I do when you grow up, okay? It's a veeeery bad thing to do.
Lowri: what, having too many drinks in a vampire lounge because the guy you like failed to notice you since we came in? Right, I'll remember not to do that.
Aneira: Lowri!
Lowri: what! It's true!
Ella: indeed, the girl speaks the truth. Whatever way you want to put it, that's precisely what I've been doing... it's so pathetic...
Ella: I think I need another drink....
Aneira: no you don't, I think we should just go home...
Ella: but I don't want to go home! It's so early! And it's my birthday! Am I not allowed to celebrate my birthday the way I like?Lowri: it's almost midnight, El... and it's Snowflake day tomorrow, if you don't go to bed now you won't be able to survive the loooong family Snowflake lunch....
Ella: oh dear, I had forgotten about that...
Aneira: *whispers* good one, Lo!
Arthur: actually, I think you should go home now. As my friend here mentioned before, this place gets busy after midnight, and you really don't want to be here when that happens.
Aneira: that's right, so I think we should go now. Come on El, let's go...
Bartender: seriously girl, go home, get some sleep, forget about whoever made you spend your birthday night drowning your worries in cocktails. He's so not worth it.
Ella: wait a minute, how do you know it's a he? Is it because of your vampire powers?
Bartender: there's always a man... I've seen girls like you before... seriously, go home now and sleep over it. You'll feel better in the morning....
Arthur: make sure your friend gets home safe, she seems a bit...Lowri: drunk? Yeah... and she's my cousin, but yes we'll take her home on the way home...
Arthur: good.
Lowri: And what about you?
Arthur: what about me?
Lowri: you've had quite a few drinks yourself, you've been sitting at the bar since we came in!
Arthur: oh don't worry about me, this is the way I tend to spend my nights...
Lowri: really! Oh my goodness this is so unhealthy, you know that right? And I thought Ella was a bad example! But you...
Arthur: well, little girls like you shouldn't really come to a vampire lounge... it doesn't tend to be full of "good examples" you know...
Lowri: oh it was the new cousins who insisted... and my cousin Chloe, she's got a thing for vampires you know...Arthur: I'll never understand humans... you can go about and live your lives in the daylight... why do you come looking for creatures of the dark like us?
Lowri: I have no idea, but I'll ask Chloe and let you know!
Aneira: come on Lo, we're leaving...
Lowri: right, goodbye then, and please consider reducing the amount of drinks you have every night, it's not good for your health!Arthur: if you have not noticed, I'm already dead... I'm not too concerned about my health... but thanks for the thought...
Lowri: well, it's not good for the mind either. Go out, get some fresh air or something, it's definitely better than being stuck here every night, isn't it? Anyway, I have to go. Thanks for the chat!
Arthur: any time...
Ella: I can't believe he's still dancing!Lowri: should we tell them we're going?
Ella: no... let's just go. I'm tired now, I just want to go home....
Lowri: wow, it's snowing! We're getting a snowy Snowflake Eve! So cool! I love walking in the snowfall!Ella: yeah... but it's also a very sad Snowflake eve... is this not supposed to be the time when miracles happen?
Aneira: I guess that only happens to some people... probably not to us. Come on girls, let's go, it's getting really late...
Ella: oh dear I feel so sick... why did you let me have so many drinks An?Aneira: hey, how come it's my fault now? You know very well it's quite impossible to stop you once you've made up your mind...
Ella: that's quite true... what a rubbish birthday... and sorry you had to see all that Lowri... what will you think of your big cousin...
Lowri: don't worry about me, I'm a big girl you know... sorry that you didn't enjoy your birthday, that's very sad, birthdays should be fun!
Ella: I feel sooo tired... can we not go back inside and find a couch? I want to have a nap...
Aneira: no way, and you'd better wake up El, me and Lowri can't carry you all the way home!Ella: but I'm so tired....
Arthur: hey, girls, wait!
Aneira: what----
Aneira: oh, you're the vampire at the bar... what do you want?
Arthur: I just thought....
Aneira: yes?
Lowri: An, don't be rude, he's a vampire but I think he's alright.
Aneira: and how do you know that exactly, Lo?
Arthur: Look, I don't want to bother you but I just thought perhaps you shouldn't be walking home alone at this time of night and in this part of town...Ella: no we really shouldn't... oh my goodness Ann, how did we end up here?
Aneira: yes that's quite right, so we should really get going...
Arthur: well, I thought that I could come with you if you want. Make sure you get home okay.
Lowri: really! That would be nice! Wouldn't it, An?Aneira: er... actually, we really shouldn't accept your kind offer... er.... I think we can manage on our own, but thank you....
Lowri: yeah, as long as we don't need to carry Ella....
Arthur: look, I am really just genuinely offering to help here. Up to you...
Ella: I feel sooo tired... can I just sit down and take a nap five minutes?Aneira: .....
Lowri: great, thanks for your help... er....
Arthur: Arthur.
Lowri: thanks for your help Arthur, we really appreciate it! I'm Lowri, and this is my sister Aneira, and the drunk girl over there is our cousin Ella. Nice to meet you.
Arthur: my pleasure.
Aneira: er... no offence but I really think we can manage on our own...
Ella: girls, if we don't go now I'm going to fall asleep on the spot!
Lowri: I think we should trust him, An... besides, we wouldn't be able to carry Ella home anyway if she can't walk...
Aneira: ... okay, fine, Mr... er... Arthur...
Arthur: brilliant! Now, which way are we going?
Arthur: er... are we there yet?Lowri: almost.... just across the road!
Aneira: so sorry you had to carry her all the way.... I never thought she would really fall asleep on the spot...
Arthur: no problem, that's what I'm here for....
Lowri: here we are! Thanks so much for your help Arthur, you've been amazing!
Aneira: yes, thank you... I don't know how we would have managed otherwise...
Arthur: my pleasure!
Aneira: look, sorry if we didn't trust you immediately but---Lowri: I did!
Arthur: don't worry, I get that, a random vampire that offers to walk you home at night is not exactly a knight in shiny armour on a white horse, is it?
Lowri: but you're better than that, you wouldn't have been able to carry Ella if you had been wearing an armour, right?
Arthur: *smiles* I just wanted to help, that's all. Do you need me to walk you two home?
Aneira: no, thanks, I think we'll manage, it's just around the corner...
Ella: wait a minute, how have we got home? And who is this guy?
Aneira: don't worry El, we'll tell you tomorrow... just go to bed now....Ella: I feel really sick....
Arthur: right, I'll be off then! It was nice to meet you girls, happy Snowflake Eve...Lowri: and to you! Thanks for coming with us, Arthur... and I'm glad you got some fresh air! Please don't go back into that bar every night, it's really not healthy, even if you're dead!
Arthur: *smiles* I'll try to remember that. See you around!
Ella: girls, I think I'll go to bed now... thanks for taking me home... sorry if I've been a pain...Lowri: well, thankfully Arthur was here to help!
Aneira: goodnight El, see you tomorrow... and happy Snowflake Eve!
Ella: happy Snowflake Eve...
Aneira: right, it's just us now, let's go home quick... I don't like being out at night...Lowri: we should have asked Arthur to stay!
Aneira: no way, he's helped us enough... besides, not sure whether it's better to be alone or with a creepy vampire for company...
Lowri: he was a nice guy, he helped us!
Aneira: yeah, but still... come on Lo, let's go....
Lowri: home! And someone is still awake, there's light!
Aneira: now, not a word on where we went and specially how we came back... mum and dad are gonna kill me if they know we let a stranger and vampire walk us home...Lowri: but he was nice!
Aneira: possibly, but I wouldn't do it again. And neither should you...
Lowri: I think he was handsome. I think he might have fancied you *giggles*
Aneira: oh shut up Lowri!
Lowri: sorry, I know that there's one and only Arwyn for you...
Trystan: at last! I was getting worried... are you alright?Lowri: yes we are! You won't believe what happened to us! We---
Aneira: shut up, Lowri!Lowri: why, it's just Trystan, he can know!
Trystan: know what?Aneira: *sighs* nothing, it's a long story... but I'm glad we're home!
Trystan: good... then get changed, we were waiting for you to get started on a Snowflake movie!
Eric: at last sister, where have you all been? We've been home for hours!Lowri: we went to a vampire lounge and met a very cool vampire!
Eric: what?!
James: she's just teasing you, Eric...
Lowri: I'm not! Just ask Aneira...
Aneira: ask me what?Lowri: about Arthur!
James: who's Arthur?
Lowri: the vampire I told you about, you dumb!
Eric: oh come on An, get changed, you can't watch a Snowflake movie if you're not wearing your Snowflake pyjama!
Lowri: you're not wearing one either, Eric...
James: details....
Aneira: there you go, happy?Eric: at last! Let's get the movie started!
James: so, did you have a nice evening out?
Lowri: the most amazing! I danced in a vampire lounge and talked to this really cool vampire while Ella was getting totally drunk! And he was such a gentleman that he offered to walk us home!James: and of course you didn't accept?
Lowri: but of course we did, and Ella was so drunk she fell asleep and he had to carry her all the way home! I don't know what we would have done without him!
Eric: oh shut up Lowri, that's a big bag of rubbish, there's no way Annie would have let a random guy, and a vampire, walk you all home! You're just making this up because you actually had a boring night. Now, we on the other hand had a brilliant one, with Jenny and Janet, didn't we, James?
James: oh dear....let's not even go there... because you enjoy it so much Eric it doesn't mean I do as well...
James: anyway Lo, I hope you're making that up... it would have been such a foolish thing to do!Lowri: but it's true! Tell them, Annie!
Trystan: ..... no way, you didn't! Annie!
Aneira: I didn't want to, but we had no other option, Ella couldn't even stand on her feet....Trystan: you could have rung me! Or dad, or anyone else...
Aneira: right, I didn't think of that... okay, that was a bit foolish...Trystan: a bit?
Aneira: a lot! Oh dear... I think I must have had a couple of extra drinks myself... I'm such an idiot... but he seemed okay...and Lowri had been chatting to him and she liked him and.... well, he was a nice guy in the end and he did help us, we would have probably frozen while trying to carry Ella home... but hey, we're here! All is well...
Trystan: right.. but don't do it again okay? Next time just ring me...
Aneira: I will... sorry.... I don't know what came over me, I'm just not myself these days....
Trystan: I've noticed. Is it because---Aneira: it's this Snowflake day stuff. Everybody should be happy and feel warm inside and it's the time of the year when miracles happen blah blah. It's all rubbish. And I feel such an idiot because... I thought that maybe a miracle would happen to me as well, and somehow Arwyn might show up.. somehow... because it's Snowflake Eve, right? But obviously it's just rubbish... I'm such an idiot...
Trystan: no you're not... there's nothing wrong in hoping...
Aneira: and you? How are you feeling?Trystan: ... I hate this Snowflake rubbish too.
Aneira: *laughs* what a hopeless bunch we are...
Aneira: I just hope he's alright... happy Snowflake day Arwyn, wherever you are...
Trystan: yeah... happy Snowflake day.... wherever you are... Matilda.

ReplyDeleteThank you!!! I'm planning to start writing again, but the legacy will have to be moved to the Sims 4 as my Sims 3 is not usable anymore :(
