Hello everyone and welcome back to the Love Legacy!
In the last chapter, many of the Love cousins and friends started their teenage life, and consequent drama ensued...
Berwyn: hey babe... I had missed you...
Ella: I had missed you too *smiles*
Berwyn: I can't believe we're here together... I had lost all hope....
Ella: well, life can be quite magical sometimes...
Ella: well, I think we had a good start... *giggles*
Berwyn: and it's agreed then... after your sister's wedding we'll go travelling and exploring the world... together... wow... it feels like I won the lottery!
Berwyn: I love you so much, Ella Love... come here you....
Jimmy: ----WHERE ARE YOUUUUUU!!?!
Berwyn: probably nothing, just crazy people... now where were we? Ah yes, come here you... *smiles*
Ella: no, Berwyn, it sounded like Jimmy... maybe something is wrong, we need to go check!
Berwyn: fine.... but then we come back here, yes? *winks*
Berwyn: I swear if it's something stupid I'm going to be very, very angry... how dare he ruin our first morning together after a very, very long time...
Ella: Berwyn!
Aneira: oh... good morning guys....
Ella: ah! Ann... morning... er....
Berwyn: jeez you just gave me a heart attack!
Arwyn: brother, I see you managed to find Ella! I'm happy for you... really *smiles*
Berwyn: yeah yeah well, uhm thanks... but will you move along please, we're all stuck in this very small space and we're not dressed yet so... awkward...
Aneira: yeah, you two better put something on before you go out *giggles* by the way, were you also going to check in on Jimmy? He was screaming like mad... I'm worried...
Ella: holy plumbob that was awkward... you didn't mention they were next door!
Berwyn: well, it must have been down on my priorities list last night *grins*
Aneira: jeez these mosquitoes are already active so early in the morning... don't you guys ever sleep? Or go on a holiday somewhere? So annoying...
Jimmy: Glyn! Have you found her?
Glyn: no, but I'm going to kill her when I do. Typical Blodwen...
Jimmy: are you not worried?
Glyn: honestly, I'm surprised that you are worried, man... my sister is crazy and seeks attention, don't fall into her trap...
Chloe: so, no news yet?
Zoe: Chloe... ah...
Chloe: we'll talk later. Let's look for that brat now... I'm sure she's just here somewhere hiding on purpose...
Trystan: are you two also looking for her? I can't believe she basically had everybody wake up at dawn to go looking for her... I swear she's done this on purpose!
Zoe: I don't know... she was very upset yesterday...
Chloe: aha, now that explains why he's worried... she never came back to the cabin, I say she's got the message, packed her bags and went back to where she came from...
Arwyn: I disagree, I think Trystan is right, she's here somewhere hiding on purpose...
Aneira: well, Glyn knows her the best, and he's not worried so... hey, on the plus side, this day is gorgeous! Look at the sky!
Berwyn: so it's Blodwen that spoiled my morning... of course, how could I have not thought about that...
Trystan: I tell you Jimmy, this is just what she wants! We should just go about our day, she'll show up eventually...
Glyn: exactly...
Zoe: wow, Trys, you really don't care? You must dislike her very much...
Trystan: how could one like her? After what she did to Aneira?
Glyn: and to us, yesterday... Zoe, you're the kindest, most wonderful person on earth, but you don't have to like her just because she's my sister... she's impossible...
Zoe: I feel sorry for her, she has no friends...
Jimmy: and for a good reason! But still, I feel kind of... responsible...
Chloe: so that's why you are up at five in the morning, because you feel guilty! Not because you care... oh brother that's so selfish! Poor Blodwen, if only she knew.... *laugh*
Glyn: really, Jimmy, let's just drop this. I'm sure she's here somewhere and will come out when she has stopped moping...
Jimmy: *sighs* if you say so... but we've looked everywhere... everywhere except---
Adrienne: so, are you planning on going out anytime soon?
Blodwen: no... I don't think so...
Adrienne: oh, come on! I've agreed to take you in as I felt sympathetic... but they've been looking for you for ages, and you're just hiding here, it's not fair!
Blodwen: well, they didn't come and look for me here... disappointing...
Adrienne: please, I'm the queen of drama myself, but you can't stay here the whole day. Besides, I really need to go to the toilet...
Glyn: fine, I'll ask Enfys if she's gone home or if she's heard of her, happy?
Trystan: do you really think she would have left in the middle of the night?
Chloe: nah, she's a scaredy-cat...
Zoe: what if something bad happened to her!
Blodwen: er...
Blodwen: if you're looking for me, I'm right here....
Glyn: Blodwen!! I knew it, I knew it!!! See, what did I tell you guys? Typical Blodwen! I'm so out of here... need coffee....
Jimmy: Blodwen!! Were you in there the whole time? Could you not hear that we were looking for you?
Chloe: but of course she could...
Jimmy: honestly, Blodwen, what the heck is wrong with you!
Blodwen: as if you cared...
Jimmy: we were worried about you! You had everyone up at dawn to look for you! And all this time... you were right here? And didn't say anything?
Blodwen: well, if you must know, I didn't feel like talking to you...
Jimmy: aaaargh you're impossible! How can that compare with having people worried that something bad might have happened to you? For plumbob's sake Blodwen, I'm trying to stay calm here but you're making it really, really difficult...
Blodwen: you were so mean to me last night, Jimmy, you hurt me!
Jimmy: well, I'm sorry about that, okay?
Blodwen: wait, what?
Jimmy: but you shouldn't have done what you did to my sisters! And your brother!
Jimmy: I hope you realise--- whatever, there's no point.... look, let's just move on, okay? We're going home tomorrow, and then, if you want, you can come out with us...
Blodwen: again, wait, what?
Jimmy: some of us are playing in a bar... if you want... you can come see us... play...
Blodwen: I didn't know you played...
Jimmy: it's a new thing, we haven't really played but we thought it would be fun so... it's the first time that we play in public, together I mean...
Blodwen: and you want me to come and watch you embarrass yourself in front of other people? Now, who's weird...
Jimmy: forget it... I told Zoe it was a bad idea....
Blodwen: this was Zoe's idea? Of course... fine, let me check my schedule...
Chloe: this is such a bad idea.... why would Zoe invite her! So annoying.... unless....
Zoe: *smiles*
Glyn: well, at least she won't bother us when we go on our first date...
Jimmy: so?
Blodwen: so what?
Jimmy: are you coming or not?
Blodwen: I haven't decided yet. Just wait and see. Now, if you excuse me, I need a coffee...
Jimmy: she's impossible! Why does she make me feel so angry all the time! Calm down Jimmy, calm down... it's just crazy Blodwen...
Berwyn: I knew we shouldn't have got out of bed! I knew it! Of course it had to be something like this, spoiling our morning... because why not...
Ella: that girl is impossible! How could you guys cope?
Arwyn: we couldn't... but I tried to distract myself by thinking of a certain lovely lady *winks*
Aneira: oh Arwyn, I'm so sorry... we should have come for you sooner...
Berwyn: nevermind, all is well what ends well! Now, breakfast anybody?
James: morning ladies!
Jenny: morning James!
James: any idea what happened to our breakfast?
Jenny: if you mean to say, what happened to Berwyn, I don't know... I've heard Blodwen disappeared and some people were looking for her, maybe he was busy...
Janet: he--hi--- hello James... good morning...
James: I can't believe he left us breakfast-less! I'm starving...
Janet: .... that didn't go very well....
James: perhaps there's something decent left.... although it looks like there's some spoiled food in there... damn it I'm so hungry!
Eric: hey love, what are you eating? Is there anything decent left?
Jenny: mushroom steak...
Eric: yikes!
Janet: why will he not even see me....
James: there's nothing in the fridge, brother, everything was spoiled... if Berwyn doesn't show up soon, I think we're gonna starve....
Eric: nonsense, brother... there's always the emergency plan... but I warn you, it might backfire....
James: which is?
Eric: I'll try and cook something... and somehow it hasn't exploded yet... not bad Eric, not bad....
Amelia: what is it that we're eating?
Jenny: mine is mushroom steak... I think... yours?
Amelia: no clue... chicken slider maybe... but not a great breakfast option... where is Berwyn again?
James: wow, brother, you still haven't set anything on fire!
Eric: shut up James, it's stuck... I think I burnt it or something...
James: well, something definitely smells bad here... ewww
Aneira: oh, what a funny smell...
Berwyn: let me through, people, your chef is back!
Trystan: at last...
Alex: yeah, these old sliders don't taste very good anymore...
Eric: at last! Cooking is so tiring...
Berwyn: but not bad Eric! You didn't burn the house down! That's success for your first time cooking, I would say...
Luke: wow, you really made it Eric! Congrats! Eggs on toast, yummi....
Eric: thanks Luke... I hope it's edible...
Luke: what a cool holiday, it's bee so much fun! Despite the drama... but what can you do, we're the Loves, drama is always around the corner!
Adrienne: eugh what's this smell?
Blodwen: and why is everybody dressed already?
Luke: Ade! Good morning...
Blodwen: good! Not everybody is!
Adrienne: ah, hey Lukey! Good morning to you too!
Luke: you're so beautiful today...
Adrienne: Aww thanks, you're too sweet...
Blodwen: now, where's breakfast? And coffee?
Luke: yesss I did it! What a great start of the day... one day she will love me... and we'll have a happy life together... I just know it!
Blodwen: aaah some nice pancakes with gummy bears! Exactly what I needed...
Harry: so, you're going on a big hike today, huh?
Berwyn: yeah, I've just prepared food for the picnic... I'm not sure there's enough though...
Harry: have you packed the camping gear?
Berwyn: yes I think we have...
Harry: perfect! You're good to go then...
Berwyn: are you not coming with us?
Harry: no, Nick and I need to stay here.. but might take some time to go swimming too...
Janet: Berwyn, you've prepared so much food already, the baskets are full! You don't need to make more...
Berwyn: just one last thing! Just in case... there's so many of us and you don't want to go hungry in the middle of a hike, do you?
Aneira: so cool, we're going on a hike all together! Exciting!
Adrienne: have fun guys, I think I'll just have a chilled day by the pool... not into hikes at all...
Luke: ... and me! I think I'll stay here, I feel a bit tired actually... sleepy....
Amelia: really? You look pretty awake to me...
Luke: shut up....
Luke: hey Ade...
Adrienne: Luke... I thought you had gone hiking...
Luke: nah, I much prefer staying here... mind if I sit with you?
Adrienne: Luke....
Luke: I know, I know. I'll just sunbathe next to you and keep you company, ok?
Adrienne: fine....
Berwyn: so.... here we are.... here's the start of the trail...
Blodwen: and how would he know that! He's never been here before... brother, please check that we're in the right place, I don't wish to get lost in the woods...
Glyn: oh shut up Blodwen. But seriously Ber, how do you know?
Berwyn: I've looked it up on Simoogle maps of course! Now, follow me, people...
Amelia: are you sure this is safe? There are no bears here right? Or worse... werewolves...
Berwyn: nah I don't think so, the online reviews didn't mention anything like this...
Amelia: but this wouldn't be in the reviews!
Glyn: fine, then let's go!
Aneira: El... do you think he knows what he's doing?
Ella: but of course he does! And anyway, nobody has a better idea so... let's follow him...
Amelia: I really hope there are no werewolves in this forest... they scare me....
Ella: oh, look at him, leading us on this hike! So confident... so handsome....
Alex: jeez sister, you're thinking out loud! Eww ... we don't need to know...
Arwyn: *laughs*
Blodwen: disgusting... totally disgusting...
Berwyn: come on guys, we're almost there!
Ella: the landscape is so beautiful....
Glyn: you're talking about the trees, right? *laughs*
Chloe: mmm are we sure we're going in the right direction? My map is not loading...
Blodwen: I told you, we shouldn't have trusted him! Why would this map not load.... argh....
Jimmy: relax, worst case scenario we'll just keep wander in the woods forever....
Blodwen: shut up Jimmy, just shut up!
Jimmy: *laughs*
Jenny: we're lost, aren't we....
Chloe: I think we are...
Berwyn: shut up everybody! I need to think... there's no reception anymore so I need to go by memory...
Alex: oh great...
Blodwen: I knew it!
Blodwen: I knew it!
Berwyn: ok I think it's this way. Guys, follow me!
Jimmy: are you sure? And why are we running?
Berwyn: I don't know, it's fun?
Amelia: no, really, why are we running? I'm not into sports... can we not just have a nice walk? I thought that's what a hike is supposed to be about... walking...
Chloe: are we sure he knows where he's going? How can he go by memory, he's never been here before... same as the rest of us...
Trystan: relax, he was studying the maps before we left, he knows what he's doing... I think....
Blodwen: and now we even have to run?! Unbelievable... un-be-lie-va-ble! I vote for a change in leadership right now!
Lowri: looks like we're on the move again...
Gareth: yeah... but I don't fancy running...
Lowri: me neither... I don't know what's wrong with grown ups, always rushing somewhere, even here!
Gareth: let's just take a walk and enjoy the forest, they won't leave us behind... right?
Arwyn: hey, the reception is back! I think we're on the right path... we should be almost there! Right Berwyn? .... Berwyn?
Blodwen: mmm that's true... we're actually on the right track... just luck, I'm sure....
Zoe: actually, I've had enough of running... where the heck is Berwyn anyway?
Berwyn: I can't believe they have not noticed that they are running faster than I am! Oh well, good that we were going in the right direction... there, I see it! The river!
Arwyn: we're here! Look, it's beautiful!
Aneira: oh wow, this place is beautiful indeed...
Ella: and the air is so fresh! I knew Berwyn knew what he was doing... this place is amazing!
Chloe: fine, I have to agree.. this place was worth the treck!
Alex: but we could have just walked here, why did we have to run....
Amelia: aaah I feel so relaxed here! And energised at the same time... I love being in nature.... my witchy powers increase when I'm attuned to nature... I guess now I know why I felt so different compared to mum and Octavia... my powers come from nature, not the dark side of magic....
Glyn: this is so romantic... shall we go for a walk my dear? *winks*
Zoe: *giggles* of course.. but I've heard they're setting up lunch soon...
Glyn: well, then, after lunch... *winks*
Berwyn: so, I set up the tables here, alright?
Ella: nice, it's going to be in the shade soon... so thoughtful Berwyn...
Berwyn: actually, it was the only place where these tables would go, which wasn't completely in the middle of the bushes... but yeah, sure... *laughs* now let's get the picnic baskets out and get lunch started!
Eric: hey! How come nobody came to tell us that lunch was ready?
Glyn: bro, we've been shouting... but you were too busy smooching your girlfriend probably... *laughs*
Blodwen: disgusting... absolutely disgusting... what is wrong with you people... besides, there are way too many happy couples here, it's totally... have I already said disgusting?
Alex: yummi this salad is delicious!
Amelia: this is such a cool hike with picnic, whoever had the idea is a genius!
Ella: I'm happy it's such a happy day for everybody! And it's so nice to be all together... well, almost all....
Amelia: yeah, I guess Elena is too busy planning her wedding... and Octavia is too busy with baby Arno... although I don't think this would have been her thing... but I kind of miss my evil sister...
James: hey sis, are these free?
Aneira: but of course! Actually, sit down brothers, these days have been so busy and there are so many people around that we didn't even get the chance to have a proper chat!
Eric: what about?
Aneira: well, you just grew up! How are you finding it? And you planned your party and this trip for so long... happy?
Eric: of course we are! This is a very cool party, and nobody ever had a party AND camping trip together! This is going to go down in the Love family history, right, brother?
James: indeed it will! Indeed we will, brother... I feel accomplished now....
Lowri: this trip is so much fun! But now it's hard to match... I don't think my birthday party can be as cool... but well, James and Eric have always been... well... let's say creative.... it's totally their style...
Trystan: argh, why are there no free seats anymore! We should have brought more picnic tables...
Amelia: er.... should we say something?
Chloe: nah, let him rage.... he'll figure it out....
Blodwen: fine, I have to admit that Berwyn is a good cook... but it doesn't mean I like him or I forgive him for bailing on us!
Aneira: so, teenagers, uh? How does that feel?
Eric: What do you mean how does that feel, you've been through it!
Aneira: I know, I mean, how does that feel for you! You had been so looking forward to this...
James: not me, I was cool with being a kid... it's just Eric that wanted to start his smooching age early...
Eric: hey! *cough*
Arwyn: and? How is that going? *smiles*
Eric: ah.. *laughs* er.... well.... uhm....
James: I don't think he's started yet...
Eric: shut up, brother!
Aneira: well, in any case, I'm happy for you, Eric... and Jenny....
Eric: er... thanks, sis... I think I'll go find her now, actually....
Blodwen: how can these people all get along... I would never hug my siblings in public, it's disgusting... I might yell at them though, that's more normal I think...
Jimmy: no it's not!
Blodwen: excuse me?
Jimmy: honestly, what's wrong with you? Glyn is a perfectly normal guy, but you...
Glyn: oh dear... I think another fight is about to begin....
Zoe: why do they always fight! I thought.... nevermind....
Glyn: forget them, how about... we go somewhere.... quieter?
Zoe: quieter?
Glyn: more... private.... you know... *winks*
Jenny: wow this place is beautiful, Eric! How did you know this lake was here?
Eric: well, I just checked the reviews on simoogle! Besides, it's nothing compared to your beauty Jen... here, I got something for you...
Jenny: a rose! So romantic... thanks Eric...
Eric: well, I wanted it to be special...
Jenny: what should be special?
Eric: this...
Jenny: ah....
Eric: so? How was it? I had been longing to do this for a very long time....
Jenny: *giggles* it was perfect...
Eric: are you sure? Because I think I could do even better....
James: hey, do you know where my brother is? I just realised I haven't seen him for a while...
Janet: he's probably smooching my sister somewhere...
James: right... probably... disgusting isn't it?
Janet: well... I wouldn't say.... actually I'm a bit jealous, I myself would like to try.... what do you think? *smiles*
James: er... right... uhm.... hey, I think I see Glyn and Zoe up there! What on earth are they doing all alone, shall we ask them to join the game?
Janet: *sighs* honestly, James, can't you tell when people disappear for a reason?
James: but what is wrong with everybody! What are we, on a big romance festival or something?
Janet: well, some people are lucky enough to have their feelings returned... good for them... *sighs*
Zoe: wait...
Glyn: what?
Zoe: did somebody just call your name?
Glyn: uh, what? I didn't hear...
Zoe: yeah I think--
Glyn: nah, it must have been the wind...
Glyn: now, where were we....
Chloe: ..... now I understand what the expression "in your face" means... *sighs* how could I have been so blind? But my sister.... that hurts....
Alex: hey, it's getting late! Will we make it back before the sun sets?
Ella: you're right, I think we need to pack our stuff and get a move on....
Ella: Berwyn! I think we should start going...
Berwyn: indeed...
Ella: it's been great, hasn't it? Thanks for being our guide... I still have no idea how you knew where to go... but it's been amazing!
Berwyn: absolutely! And no problem, you can thank me later *winks*
Ella: Berwyn! *blushes*
Berwyn: well, just a suggestion *winks* now, where has half of your family gone? Let's get everyone and let's go back to the campsite!
Arwyn: hey... it's been a great trip, don't you think?
Aneira: it has indeed... and so eventful! I'm glad everything worked out between Ella and Berwyn...
Arwyn: well, thanks to you! Your little plan worked perfectly!
Aneira: yes.. I'm quite proud of that *smiles*
Arwyn: and I saw them talking to Nick and Harry in the kitchen earlier... I think they've cleared things out and it will be fine...
Aneira: I'm glad... but to be honest, Harry could have told her! Ah, nevermind, I'm happy for Nick and Harry too, by the way... although I'm annoyed that they didn't invite us to the wedding!
Arwyn: they are a cute couple! But so are we, my love...
Aneira: yes we are *smiles*
Arwyn: and maybe, we we go home... we could have another ride with the horses? And maybe take a picnic?
Aneira: sure, that would be wonderful!
Arwyn: that's a deal then *smiles*
Alice: don't worry, I expect that they'll be walking through that door very soon... they should be here by now... Aneira texted me when they left...
Leo: so, tell me the story one more time please? I still can't believe it *laugh*
Gale: there's nothing to laugh about, brother! I don't appreciate your sarcasm.
Enfys: but mother, if you stop one second and look at this from the outside, it is quite funny, actually... your mini-me defied you! Who would have thought... but actually, I must say that I have a new level of admiration for my sister now...
Gale: don't you get any strange ideas, Enfys... what Blodwen did was very childish... and dangerous...
Enfys: well, looks to me more like teen behaviour! Technically she's a teen ager now, right? I wonder if I'll recognise her... what do you think she looks like, mother?
Gale: I don't know... but it's getting late! Shouldn't they be here by now? And I can't believe you let them all skip two days of school Leo! You've become a softie, I don't recognise you anymore...
Leo: have I? Really?
Alice: well, you always have been, my dear, and that's why I love you so much!
Leo: aww I love you too, sweetheart...
Trystan: hello everyone, we're home!
Glyn: ah, so nice, I love your house Trys, it's always so warm and welcoming!
Blodwen: umph
Glyn: what was that, sister?
Blodwen: nothing, I just did not agree with your statement, that's all.
Glyn: oh really? Then how about you beat it and go to our home? That one is welcoming... isn't it? Oh wait, did you forget to tell mum a teeny tiny detail? Oops...
Blodwen: oh, shut up brother! I'll sort that one out...
Glyn: uh oh, you better have your story ready....
Blodwen: what----
June: hey kids, welcome home! Ah, yes, I see you've spotted our visitors....
Blodwen: mother?!?! Oh no.... oh no! What is she doing here?
Zoe: mother? Oh my...
James: grandma! So nice to see you? Have you missed us?
June: I have indeed! And look at you, all grown up and handsome! I think it might take some time for me to get used to this! And who's this young lady? I don't think I've met her before?
Glyn: oh yes you have, that's my sister Blodwen who sneaked out under mum's nose and came here to crash the party! Oh, and also bought a cake and blew candles too early...
Blodwen: jeez, what a nice introduction, thanks brohter...
June: ah, that's you! Well, I'm sure you can explain to your mother... now that you're here all is well and she can stop panicking...
Blodwen: my mother... was.... panicking? Oh no I think I messed up more than I thought...
Zoe: oh my, I don't think I can meet Glyn's mother... I'm too shy...
Chloe: chin up, sister, she doesn't bite!
Zoe: I'm not so sure about that... have you not heard the stories? She wanted to throw Aneira and Arwyn in jail at some point!
Aneira: aaah home sweet home!
Arwyn: home sweet home indeed.... *smiles*
Gale: Glyndwr! And Blodwen... finally....
Glyn: mother....
James: ah, that's going to be fun...
Blodwen: shut up, cousin!
Gale: a word, with both of you. Now!
Enfys: oh mother relax, and let me give a hug to my big brother first!
Glyn: Enfys, you're here too!
Enfys: of course! I couldn't possibly send mother alone, she was so worried... I had to take care of her! And with dad being away, I couldn't stay home by myself anyway so... besides, I couldn't wait to see this place that you so much love, Glyn! I vaguely remember being here when I was a toddler.. but now I totally get why you love living here, brother! This place is amazing! And the relatives are all so nice and friendly... and warm...
Gale: enough! Stop saying nonsense Enfys, your brother does not live here. Blodwen...
Blodwen: uh, hi mum...
Gale: look at me in the eyes when you talk to me, child.
Blodwen: here, happy? What are you doing here, mum?!
Gale: when Enfys and I went to take a stroll in the garden and you said you didn't want to join because you were not in the mood... I thought you were just sulking, as you always do these days... but I expected to find my child in her room! Not... a teen ager here! Why did you do it Blodwen?
Blodwen: oh, I don't know, I was bored, just felt like it....
Gale: what!?
Blodwen: you wanted an explanation, I gave it to you. Do what you wish with it...
Lowri: Enfys!!! What a surprise!!! So nice to see you!!!
Enfys: and you!!!
Leo: hey, son, welcome back! So, how was the camping trip?
James: it was amazing, dad! Although we could have done without some.... surprises....
Gale: you are impossible, daughter!
Lowri: so...
Enfys: yeah, mother went nuts when she figured out what Blodwen had done...
Lowri: yeah, that was a... surprise...
Enfys: but hey, I thought you had more cousins... where is everybody else? Like, Gareth for example?
Lowri: oh he went home, sorry... but if you stay for a while you can see him tomorrow!
Enfys: ah, nevermind, just asking... and I have no idea how long we're staying... I guess mother wants to go home as soon as possible... but do you think I could stay for a few days?
Lowri: of course you can! You're my guest! *smiles*
Gale: argh, what do I have to do with you!
Blodwen: and you're asking me that, mother?
Gale: stop it, Blodwen! What did you want to prove, by doing this? That you are a grown up? That you don't need me anymore? That you can defy me?
Blodwen: I'm bored...
Lowri: wow, your mother has really met her match...
Enfys: yeah, I never thought my sister would stand up to her, she loved mother so much, and was so like her in the past...
Zoe: Glyn... I think we should leave... I don't even know why we came all the way here, we live quite far actually....
Glyn: but because you didn't want to waste any seconds away from me, right? *winks*
Glyn: besides, I think it's getting interesting now...
Zoe: but I don't really feel that this is the best time for me to meet your mother, I think we should go....
Jimmy: actually, this is fun, I want to watch! Cool that we came here, sis!
Zoe: Jimmy, that's not nice...
Gale: I'm so looking forward to your father coming back, a lot of things to discuss! Anyway, pack your stuff and get ready, we're leaving
Blodwen: what!
Blodwen: no way, I'm not leaving... as a matter of fact, the cousins and their cousins have invited me to go to a concert tomorrow, and guess what? There's nothing you can say or do that will make me not go! I'm going mother, deal with it!
Gale: you're doing no such thing, we're going home now! And you're grounded, for the foreseeable future!
Blodwen: I am not coming home! I'm staying right here! After all, you sent Glyn to live here for a bit, why can't I do it too?
Gale: because. You're grounded! Pack your stuff, now!
Blodwen: no!
Lowri: do you think this is going to go on for long, I'm hungry...
Enfys: and me... besides, Lowri invited me to stay, so if you guys are going home, I'm staying...
Zoe: well, that would be nice, if you could stay longer, wouldn't it?
Gale: .... and who would you be?
Gale: Glyn, who is this girl who's standing way too close to you for my liking? Glyn?!
Zoe: oh dear...
Lowri: okay, enough, this is never gonna end. Let's go find some food Enfys...
Glyn: well, since you are asking, mother... this is my wonderful girlfriend, Zoe!
Zoe: er... hello....
Gale: your.... your..... your what?!
Glyn: my girfriend, mother... why so surprised? I'm not a child anymore....
Jimmy: hey...
Jimmy: tough day uh?
Blodwen: I bet you enjoyed the show...
Jimmy: well, yeah, I must confess I did... *smiles* but really, uhm... you okay? That was quite... explosive...
Blodwen: why would you care, anyway... and welcome to my world...
Jimmy:
Gale: ... a runaway teen daughter who grew up too soon and is defying me.... and the heir to the Elf throne with a human girlfriend.... I must have really failed... as a queen, and a mother.... *sighs* where is Gwydion when I need him, he would know what to do....
Glyn: oh come on mother, don't be so hard on yourself... aren't you happy that your children are happy?
Gale: well, we'll see about that.... and don't think that I haven't seen you, talking to my daughter! Who are you?
Blodwen: mum, please! Jeez....
Jimmy: er... Jimmy... I'm er... Zoe's brother... we've met before...
Gale: I don't see how...
Jimmy: at the castle? You know, when we came to rescue Arwyn and Berwyn and you wanted to throw your niece in jail? Have you forgotten that?
Gale: how dare you... boy!
Blodwen: mum, stop it, leave him alone! He's right by the way...
Gale: oh dear, double trouble indeed...
Jimmy: what?
Gale: *sighs* but now, let's focus on you... Zoe....
Zoe: yes... nice to meet you... er.... uhm.... your royal highness? your majesty? Er.... ah....
Gale: Queen will do....
Glyn: mother, please be nice...
Gale: so, how did you meet my son and how long have you been seeing him?
Zoe: ah....
Glyn: jeez, mother!
Gale: what!? I just want to get to know the potential future Queen!
Zoe: the... what?
Glyn: mother! Oh dear... Zoe, please don't listen to her...
Gale: what, I'm sure she's figured it out already, Glyn, you're the heir to the throne...
Zoe: figure out... what?
Gale: ... seriously?
Gale: then let me spell it for you girl... Glyn is the heir to the throne so, if you get married, one day you're going to be the Queen...
Zoe: ah... what?!?!
Glyn: mum, you're scaring her!
Gale: why, if she goes out with you, surely she must know what that implies?
Glyn: mother, we just got together, please give us a break!
Zoe: you have no break, son. You have duties! Now, I was hoping on a ... uhm... different choice, but I give up with you children. If yoru father approves... well... I suppose... she'll do.... she'll need to be trained, of course, but she'll do.... but we'll need to meet her parents first of course. Now, do you think we could arrange a visit soon, uh?
Zoe: ah... I.... er... I think we need to go... it's late....
Glyn: mum, you're scaring her, stop it! Zoe, please don't listen to anything she's saying... please....
Chloe: a commendable technique... I like her! Except that she's doing it to my sister... that's not cool... now if I had been in her position I would have known how to deal with her but, alas... I don't get to be queen... what a pity... I don't even think that Zoe had realised it... *sighs* but as she's my sister, I'm going to do the right thing... I do have a heart of gold....
Chloe: brother, I think we should go, I don't know how long Zoe can manage before breaking down...
Jimmy: what? Ah yes, sure...
Chloe: she's quite a dragon that one... I can tell where her daughter got it from....
Blodwen: hey, I'm right here! And I am so not like my mother, thank you very much...
Chloe: so, shall we go? However angry I might be at Zoe, I don't want to see her broken, or to see her lose a fight with that lady.
Jimmy: sure, you're right, we should go... but do you think she meant that? That Zoe might be queen one day? Oh my goodness I had not thought about it! But hey, if they want to meet the family, I wouldn't mind having a trip back there, in a more relaxed situation!
Chloe: relaxed for whom?
Jimmy: well, not for Zoe, or mum and dad, but for me! It was quite a beautiful place...
Blodwen: indeed! And you would be very welcome to visit us!
Jimmy: oh, er... thanks...
Chloe: wow, what a sweet invitation... I wonder why the sudden change of tone... *smirks*
Jimmy: uh, what? Don't tease her Chlo, she had a tough day too...
Blodwen: ... thank you, Jimmy...
Jimmy: and we'll see you tomorrow, right? At the club? Can you still make it? Or do you need to leave...
Blodwen: of course I'll make it! Don't worry, I won't let my mum take this from me... I'll see you tomorrow then...
Glyn: fine, we're leaving, mother. And by the time I'm back, you'd better be chilled and ready to apologise!
Zoe: it's ok Glyn, don't worry...
Gale: I don't understand what you're talking about, son. I just wanted to get to know your girlfriend... and future queen!
Glyn: I'm so sorry... so sorry....
Zoe: er... it's ok... let's just go....
Glyn: are you sure you're okay? My mother can be a bit... well, you've seen her... I'm really sorry she said all that stuff.... it was not appropriate, I'm sorry....
Zoe: but is it true?
Glyn: er... yes... but not in a very long time! Don't worry about it...
Zoe: and you would want me to be your queen?
Glyn: of course I would! But what about you... would you like that? I know it's a big thing... and you're... well....
Zoe: ...human? Is this even possible?
Glyn: of course it is, when my mum changed the law to marry my dad, it was not specified that the spouse had to be an elf... *laughs* I guess she would have never guessed... well, you! *smiles*
Glyn: is it... scary?
Zoe: yes it is... and a bit of a shock, I had not thought about this really... but it's true, you're the heir to the throne...
Glyn: does it change anything?
Zoe: no, not really... I love you Glyn, I just want to be with you...
Glyn: me too, I love you so much Zoe...
Gale: so, looks like you won. Happy? We're staying a bit longer...
Blodwen: really? That's great! I mean, well, if you want to stay too, feel free. But I was staying anyway.
Chloe: sure, why not...
Leo: finally! I'm glad you saw some sense, Gale. Relax spend a few days with your family, it will do you and your children good!
Gale: fine. But of course, you'll be going to school tomorrow. And for however long we're staying.
Blodwen: wait, what? I don't go to school here, what do you mean?
Chloe: it means that you're going to come to school with us! Haha I bet you didn't expect this, did you... it's going to be sooo much fun...
Jimmy: how do you know, you haven't had a teen school day yet!
Leo: it will be fine, I'm sure you guys will enjoy!
Lowri: come on Enfys, I think it's time to go to bed!
Enfys: are we really going to sleep in the treehouse? So cool!
Lowri: indeed we are! I doubt your mother and sister would have liked the treehouse accommodation so I had to give them my bedroom... but don't you worry, this is gonna be fun!
Blodwen: mum...
Gale: oh my goodness, do we really have to sleep in this... place?
Gale: I can't believe my brother couldn't offer me a better accommodation! We better get home as soon as possible...
Blodwen: mum, why don't you---
Gale: enough, daughter, I've had enough of fighting with you today. You don't see reason anyway. So we have nothing more to say to each other. But you should go to bed, you have school tomorrow.
Blodwen: but mum! I--
Gale: good night, Blodwen.
Blodwen: mum... *sighs*
James: aaah, brother, finally! Our plan is finally into place... we're back... as teens! And we're going to rule this school...
Eric: yes... what a wonderful feeling... a bit strange, but wonderful! Do you think there's a prom coming up soon?
James: a what?!
Eric: nevermind, I need to find Jenny...
Trystan: *sighs* my little brothers, all grown up and at school with us... I feel old... but well, it won't be long before my birthday, so better enjoy the last days of high school! Although I think I have had enough...
Eric: oh look, the cousins are already here! And there's a new girl in the group too, who is she? I don't think I've seen her before..
Eric: Jenny! There you are... *smiles*
James: .... Clara?
Trystan: wait, did you say Clara? What is she---
James: she grew up too!
Zoe: I can't believe you didn't tell us your birthday was coming up too!
Chloe: well, Zoe, maybe she didn't want to tell you... maybe she didn't want to have to invite you to her birthday party...
Clara: of course that's not true! Zoe, it's not true! I---
Amelia: relax, she's just teasing you...
Clara: ah... haha
Zoe: don't listen to Chloe, Clara... but seriously, I feel sad you didn't have a birthday party... we could have celebrated you... instead--
Clara: oh don't worry, I was fine! My dad baked a cake and we did celebrate. I don't think I like big events you see, I don't like when everybody's attention is focused on me...
Zoe: I understand, I'm also quite shy...
Chloe: that's what I thought too... and then the last few days happened... what a revelation! You and your green haired elf are quite a sight... like, quite in my face... like, all the time...
Zoe: oh shut up Chloe!
Trystan: oh my goodness, she's grown up too! I didn't know she was so close to you guys in age...
James: yeah, me neither, she's always been little Clara, and now... so strange, isn't it?
Trystan: yeah, I feel old now...
James: oh yes, sorry brother, must be strange to have her in your class again... memories... hey, by the way, what's going on with---
Trystan: I think we should go say hi!
James: yeah, sure, pretend nothing is happening... I see it in your face Trystan, every day...
Janet: James!!! *smiles*
Trystan: what, exactly, do you see uh?
James: the opposite of getting over it, Trystan...
Zoe: oh guys, you're here! So I guess.... uhm...
Amelia: of course, your boyfriend is here too Zoe! We all know, and we all saw you smooching away, no need to be bashful about it *winks*
Glyn: hey, beautiful...
Zoe: hey *smiles*
Alex: but I'm also very much into science... I think I want to be a scientist one day...
Ella: oh great!
Eric: well done Glyn!
Zoe: oh no! Janet, are you okay?
James: actually, that was really great!
Janet: thank you Blodwen, maybe it did really work!
James: hey, that was really good!! I'm impressed... I didn't know you played basketball...
James: tonight? Uhm let me check the calendar... ah yes, we're going to the club to hear the cousins play.... why?
Jimmy: oh god I can't watch...
Glyn: this reminds me, we also have our date tonight... I'm so looking forward to that...
James: er.... I.... uhm.....
James: *blushes* ah.. wow... well... yes... let's do this! It's a date *grins*
James: so... I'll see you later then? *grins*
Alex: and there goes another cousin.... *sighs*
Jenny: holy plumbob, she did it! I can't believe she asked and he said yes!! At last!!
I hope you enjoyed this chapter! It took a few months but I finally made it! And already have material for the next one :) Enjoy the Summer!
Chloe: *sighs* and so it begins... really, this is a whole new meaning of "in your face"...
Clara: I'm sorry, it must hurt very much....
Chloe: yeah, my pride is very much hurt.
Clara: I thought you were in love with him?
Chloe: love? Oh my goodness, absolutely not!
Clara: but then, why...
Chloe: oh, Clara, you are such a sweet little girl...
James: Clara! Happy birthday!
Clara: ah.... James.... er... thank you....
James: welcome to the teen gang *grins*
Chloe: unfreeze, darling, he's not gonna eat you... *laughs*
Clara: ah.... uhm... haha... uhm....
Clara: I think it's time to go to class....
Chloe: not yet! Don't try to escape, it won't do you any good you know.... *winks*
Clara: ah... er....
Chloe: besides, I really need to focus on something other than my sister flirting with her... boyfriend right in my face... eww
James: yes, stay with us Clara! Nothing has changed, it's like in the good old times!
Chloe: like, last week you mean....
Trystan: Clara!!! You've grown up!!
Clara: Trystan!! Indeed... seems to be what everyone is talking about *nervous laugh* but hey, we're in the same class again, isn't it fun?
Trystan: indeed! It's been ages! So good to have you back in the gang, I have missed you!
Clara: yeah, me too! *smiles*
Chloe: well well well, she's definitely defrosted... interesting... then it must be you, cousin....
James: uh what?
Chloe: interesting... very interesting....
Blodwen: umph why all the fuss about that girl's birthday... I also aged up alone and nobody cared...
Jimmy: but surely, you know why that is, right?
Blodwen: Jimmy! You scared me! I thought you were still playing...
Jimmy: aha, so you knew I was here! I can't have scared you that much.... Gotcha! Be honest Blodwen, were you spying on us?
Blodwen: what?! And why would I do that?
Jimmy: because we're handsome teen age boys playing football, girls love that...
Blodwen: jeez you are confident today... overly confident....what's got into you...
Jimmy: nothing, I'm just excited that we're going to play at the club tonight! Isn't it right, cousin?
Luke: it sure is! Nick doesn't know if he can make it, but it's great that he's so famous so he could get us this gig at the local club!
Jimmy: it's amazing! And you know what else is amazing?
Blodwen: uhm, no?
Jimmy: gigs mean girls, lots of girls! Isn't it right Luke?
Luke: *laughs*
Blodwen: you are disgusting, Jimmy....
Trystan: ... you should really go to see Jimmy's band playing!
Clara: ah, I don't know, I'm not sure it's my thing... besides, if you're not going, who will I talk to?
James: well, we will all be there, you can talk to any of us!
Clara: yeah but...
Amelia: don't worry Clara, you can hang with me and Alex. We're also not party people, but we do want to go hear the cousins play...
Chloe: and sing! Might I add...
Amelia: and sing...
Zoe: I think it's time for class... already? Time is going by so quickly!
Glyn: time flies when you're having fun *winks*
James: so, will you come?
Clara: er... sure... okay, I guess I should give it a go before I decide it's really not my thing, right?
James: there's my girl!
Clara: ah... *blushes* I think we have to go to class....
Janet: ....
Alex: poor Clara, I feel for her...
Amelia: you are also into James and he has no clue?!?!
Alex: no, of course not jeez! Although I have to admit he's very handsome... but no, I meant about this gig thing, I'm not into this stuff either... I'm more a brain kind of person. Leave me a book nook any time and you'll make me happy!
Amelia: yep, I second that...
Alex: but I'm also very much into science... I think I want to be a scientist one day...
Amelia: that's very cool!
Janet: James! I didn't get to speak to you at all this morning, you were so busy...
James: hi Janet...
Janet: soooo I saw you talking to Clara.... she's grown up!
James: I know!
Janet: and she's beautiful, isn't she? Well, I guess some might find her ... uhm... quirkiness attractive... what about you?
James: what about me what?
Janet: what do you think of her? I thought you two looked.... close? Are you uhm... interested?
James: interested in what.. oh my goodness, Janet! No of course not! Jeez how could you think that! We're friends... just friends... jeez Janet....
Janet: so you're not into Clara then... good to know *smiles* now, let's go to class, shall we?
Amelia: .....
Alex: smooth....
Amelia: oh dear....
Alex: ah, unrequited love... teen age is complicated...
Amelia: yeah, quite happy I haven't started to feel like that yet... although... I'm a bit jealous if I have to be honest...
Alex: you know, one day we will too meet the men of our dreams. I'm sure of it, cousin! All this love and smooching around me makes me think about that, you know...
Amelia: oh I'm sure you will! Maybe he'll be a scientist too!
Alex: ah, that would be the dream! And what about you? What do you want your future to be like?
Amelia: I don't know, I just want to have my own cottage in the woods, grow plants, have a cat... you know, that kind of stuff. I'm a witch after all... I just want to have my own space. I'm not sure I can picture a man there... you know, somebody that likes the same stuff... but who knows!
Alex: I'm sure you'll find him! And he better be an amazing guy, otherwise I'm going to kick his---
Amelia: hahaha Alex! Thank you *smiles* Actually, even if I don't find the guy, I think I'm going to be happy in my little cottage in the woods anyway. And I have all of you guys, I know I won't be alone *smiles*
Alex: of course we'll always be there! We're family, wherever we will be, we'll always be there for each other! But now, unfortunately, it's time to go to class...
James: .... what?
Amelia: you're an idiot, cousin, you know that?
James: what?! And what have I done to deserve that?
Amelia: *sighs* it's gonna be a long day....
Aneira: here we are guys!
Arwyn: it's a bit... gloomy....
Ella: very gloomy... it's 10 am and so dark and rainy! How can she live in this place...
Aneira: well, I guess she must like it...
Ella: and I hope she's at home, I don't want to be standing here in the rain any second more than I need to...
Octavia: come in!
Aneira: Octavia? It's us... where are you?
Octavia: just here in the living room... pouring myself a drink... do you want one?
Aneira: no I don't, it's 10 am!! Octavia, are you alright?
Octavia: yeah, just very tired... new baby, no sleep you know...
Octavia: oh, it's you! An! So nice to see you too!
Aneira: of course it's me.. who did you think you were talking to?
Octavia: the resident ghost of course...
Aneira: er... right... no, it's me, and Ella, and Arwyn, and Berwyn... we've come to see you... and to meet your new baby!
Octavia: oh, thanks so much for coming, An! It's so nice to see I have not been forgotten....
Aneira: of course you haven't! Why would you say this?
Octavia: well, aside from my parents and siblings, you're the first visitor I have... it's so nice!
Ella: Octavia! It's been a while... nice house! A bit gloomy, but nice!
Octavia: you know An, I miss our time in highschool together... the planning, the scheming, the sneaking out under mum's nose... that was fun!
Aneira: er... I can imagine... but look at you know, you are living with the man you love, in a beautiful house, and you have a child together! Wow we've really grown up...
Octavia: exactly! I feel... old... all these responsibilities... sometimes I just wish to have one day of my teen age life! But you're right, it's beautiful, I'm very lucky, and very happy... it's just that sometimes it feels lonely without you guys...
Ella: wow, who would have thought, she actually liked us!
Octavia: now, why don't you sit down, I'll go get Arno... I think he just woke up, and is upstairs with Ash...
Berwyn: wow, she is weird...
Arwyn: but don't forget that she and her boyfriend came all the way to the palace to save us, remember? We owe them...
Berwyn: yeah that's right... although in the end it was her mother who saved us all... but still...
Ash: and look who just woke up!
Aneira: oh my goodness!!!! Ella, look!
Ash: look little Arno, mummy's here!
Octavia: hello my precious! We've got visitors today! Do you want to meet the cousins? They came here to meet you!
Octavia: everybody, look, this is Arno! Isn't he wonderful?
Aneira: awww so sweet!
Ella: I don't think I've ever seen Octavia smiling like that... it is sweet indeed...
Berwyn: they are a nice family indeed.. speaking of which, when are you going to start yours?
Arwyn: what?! Shut up brother, mind your own business.. besides, back at you!
Berwyn: naah, we want to travel the world now... maybe one day...
Ash: who's this cutie pie?
Arno: *giggles*
Octavia: come on baby, let's go meet your family!
Octavia: it's so nice that they came to visit, isn't it?
Ash: indeed it is, my love... as I told you, they all love you, they haven't forgotten you... otherwise, we wouldn't have received the invitation to Elena's wedding!
Octavia: right... you're right... but I guess it's nice to see that it's real... that we're still family...
Octavia: so, do you want to stay for lunch? We have so much to catch up on! And you have to tell me everything about Elena's upcoming wedding... oh and by the way I just realised! Ella... and Berwyn? Finally! When did this happen?
Ella: *smiles*
Amelia: this is really a long day.... high school is so intense....
Zoe: but fun too! I feel so cool that we're finally in high school, don't you?
Clara: I do too! Although I miss Lowri... I feel so bad that it's just her and Gareth in the other class now...
Eric: I'm bored, when is this class ending?
Jenny: shush people, I'm trying to finish the assignment!
Janet: omg omg omg! James is sitting right behind me!
James: okay enough, the last 10 minutes and then we're done for the day...
Blodwen: I still don't see why Glyn and I had to join the cousins to school... and I can't believe my first day of high school was in a school we don't even go to! It's all rubbish...
Glyn: on the count of three.... two.... one..... YES! It's over! We have survived, people...
Jimmy: oh come on Glyn it was not that bad... I actually quite like school!
James: ok guys, we're done here for today! Now, how about a basketball match? Who's in?
Clara: oh that's so cool! I'd love to watch that!
Blodwen: I wonder why....
Clara: that's a proper highschool experience! So cool! Will there be cheerleaders too?
James: come on Glyn, your turn!
Jimmy: you can do it man....
Jenny: exciting! I didn't know watching sports was so much fun! Basketball is a wonderful sport to watch, isn't it?
Janet: wonderful indeed.... *grins*
Glyn: I did it! I scored!!
Jenny&Janet: woo hooo well done guys!
Janet: go James!!
Glyn: no pressure, man.... *grins*
Blodwen: this is so boring... why do we have to be here?
Janet: you don't have to, you can go if you want, school is over for today...
Eric: yay! Well done brother, that was a great one!
James: yeah, thanks bro....
Clara: oh they've already started!
Clara: can I sit with you?
Jenny: of course you can, Clara!
Janet: ....
Luke: that hoop looks so far away... I'm not sure I'm gonna manage...
Alex: come on Luke, you can do it!
Chloe: yes Luke, you can do it! I'll cheer for you as part of my cheerleading practice!
Luke: cheerleading? Seriously Chloe?
Chloe: Why, what's wrong with cheerleading? I just joined the team!
Jimmy: I can't believe I missed... I can't believe it... that's embarrassing....
Blodwen: oh, come on Jimmy, you can do better than that!
Jimmy: I did it! I scored!!! Woo hooooo!
Eric: yay well done Jimmy!
Glyn: awesome shot, man!
Blodwen: now, that's better...
Clara: woo hoo you go guys!
Alex: so tell me cousin, do you enjoy basketball?
Amelia: not one bit... you?
Alex: same... I thought I would come here for the players, but they're all cousins! Where is everybody else?
Amelia: I've been wondering the same thing myself... this school always looks so empty...
Alex: by the way, I'm surprised that Clara is not sticking with us weirdos!
Amelia: well, the reason why she came is playing in the other field so.... besides, we're not weirdos! Why would you say that?
Alex: I don't know, it feels like that sometimes... maybe not weirdos, but like, different, quieter... above all the shenanigans... I don't know, do you get the idea?
Amelia: yeah I get you... I feel the same sometimes... but hey, at least we have each other!
Janet: oh come on Glyn, that was an easy shot! How could you fail...
Glyn: well, if I didn't feel the pressure maybe I would be more relaxed, would I...
Glyn: oh, Zoe! I'm sorry you had to see this...
Zoe: *giggles* don't worry darling, I'm just here to see you *smiles*
Blodwen: oh please, it's my brother you're talking about, I don't want to know!
Eric: my turn!
James: smash it, Eric!
Jenny: yes, you go Eric!! Come on darling, show us your best shot!
Clara: aww, you two are the sweetest couple, you know that?
Jenny: thank you, Clara *smiles*
Jenny: yeees! Amazing!!!
Eric: ouch...
Zoe: nooo poor Eric!
James: ouch that hurts... better look away...
Chloe: Give me an L, give me a U, give me a K, give me an E: goooo Luke!!!
Trystan: wow, that's impressive!
Clara: oh, it's James's turn again! Go James!!!!
Jenny: wait a minute...
Janet: *sighs*
Glyn: you can do this, man!
Jenny: ... why all of a sudden you seem so interested in supporting James?
Clara: *smiles* he's the best! Look!!
Jenny: oh no.....
Clara: wooooow!!!! This is amazing!!! He is amazing!!!
Jenny: oh no.... my sister has got competition.... and I'm right in the middle... and obviously I want my sister to get what she wants... but Clara is such a nice girl.... poor Clara...
James: ouch! That was... unexpected....
Glyn: you alright man?
James: yeah... my pride is bruised though...
Janet: oh come on, James! That's rubbish...
Janet: let. me show you how it's done...
James: what, you think you can beat that? Even if I fell at the end, it was still a great dunk!
Janet: move aside, James, let me show you...
Eric: yeah, show him, Janet!
James: hey, who are you siding for?
James: there she goes....
James: and she scores! Wow! That was a great---
Janet: ouch!! Oh no....
Zoe: oh no! Janet, are you okay?
Jenny: oh, sister....
Janet: it's so embarrassing...
Blodwen: don't worry Janet, I'll cheer for you! And next time it's gonna work out!
Janet: what? No way, please...
Blodwen: no, really, I've been observing Chloe... it looks easy and possibly fun, watch me!
Blodwen: give me a J, give me an A, give me an N, give me an E, give me a T....
Blodwen: ..... gooooo Janet!!!!
Jimmy: seriously, Blodwen?
Jimmy: oh my goodness...
Blodwen: did it work?
Eric: yeees! Well done!!!
Jenny: yeees! You go, sister!!!!
Jimmy: well done!
Blodwen: wooo hooo! I've got magic!!!
Blodwen: any time!
Janet: oh, I've always liked playing since I was a kid... I love sports you see... and people who play sports *grins* how about you?
Chloe: oh wow, she's not wasting any time!
Jenny: well done, sister!
Eric: finally, I hope my brother will finally wake up...
Clara: .....
Janet: and what are you doing tonight?
Janet: well, because since I will also be there, you might want to take me on a date?
James: a... what?!
Blodwen: cringe much....
Zoe: *blushes* me too Glyn...*giggles*
Janet: come on James, our twin siblings are dating, we've been hanging out all together since primary school, we both like sports... it would make sense, wouldn't it? It would be perfect! Besides, I think you're really hot *giggles*
Blodwen: more cringe....
Jimmy: oh....
Alex: my....
Amelia: god.... poor Clara.....
Trystan: An? Yes it's me! You can't believe what just happened!
Amelia: and here comes more drama.... *sighs*
Trystan: ... and now I'm the only one left alone... except Lowri of course... but it's not long before she grows up, and then I'm sure I will be the very last one. Why does it come so easy to them.... *sighs*
Luke: why the sad faces guys? Aren't you happy for James? I for one understands how Janet feels, having a crush on somebody for a long time and finally getting a date! Of course, I haven't got to the getting a date part yet, but I'm working on it...
Alex: not for me thank you... too much drama....
Luke: oh come on, don't tell me you have not yet found someone to crush on?
Alex: nope... besides, if you hadn't noticed, this world seems to be populated only by family members... no, I'm waiting to grow up and then set up a profile on cupid's corner! I definitely don't want to stick to the first man that catches my eye, if you know what I mean...
Clara: .....
Clara: I can't believe it... I did not expect this... how could she be so... so....
Clara: I'm heartbroken....
Eric: finally, we did it Jenny!
Jenny: well, we did nothing, they did!
Eric: but we've been working on this for so long!!
Jenny: yes, but it was always up to them...
Eric: I'm glad your sister made the first step, if we had left it to my brother we would have waited for ages... well done Janet! So now we can finally go on double dates! Starting tonight!!
Clara: *crying* this is the worst day ever....
Amelia: Clara! There you are! What are you doing here? I've been looking everywhere for you!
Amelia: how are you?
Clara: well, you can guess....
Amelia: I'm sorry Clara...
Clara: I lost him, Amelia... I knew he only looked at me like a little sister, but I was still hoping that if I waited, one day, he would really see me.... but now....
Amelia: oh Clara, but you never know! Hey, it's just a date, maybe they realise they're not compatible or something, you can't know that...
Clara: oh I know she'll never let him go... she's been after him since I can remember...
Amelia: that is true....
Clara: but he really wasn't into her, so I was hoping... but now...
Amelia: look, don't lose all hope, we just don't know what the future brings, right? Let's go out tonight and have fun, me, you and Alex... and the hell to the rest of them. What do you think?
Clara: but they will be there... on a date... it's too much....
Amelia: well, maybe you can still try and see if you can play your cards...
Clara: what cards?
Amelia: look, I'm not the best one to preach this, but if you really like him, and I think you do... go for it! No matter what... as I said, it's just a date, they're not getting married or anything... it's not over yet!
Gareth: sooo ladies, here's the place! Isn't it beautiful?
Lowri: it is! And on such a beautiful day! I didn't know there was a playground here?
Gareth: that's because it's my secret! But I wanted to take our guest here after school, as it's a special place...
Enfys: *laughs* thanks Gareth, I'm honoured!
Gareth: follow me ladies! The first stop: monkey bars!
Enfys: you've planned all the details, haven't you?
Gareth: of course I have, I want to take you to the best places! So you'll have so much fun that you will have to come back to visit, right?
Enfys: *smiles*
Gareth: here we are! Look what I can do!!! Come and try this Enfys, it's so much fun!
Enfys: er... I'm not sure I'm strong enough...
Lowri: don't worry, it's super easy, look!
Gareth: ouch!
Lowri: Gareth!
Gareth: I'm ok... but er... that was not supposed to happen...
Enfys: don't worry, I didn't see anything *giggles*
Gareth: but maybe this is more like your thing?
Enfys: actuall, I'm not sure the monkey bars are my thing... this looks too dangerous for me....
Lowri: why do I feel that I'm just a spectator here... *sighs* first I lost Clara once she grew up, and now Gareth too... I feel so lonely... I like being a child but... I can't wait for my birthday now....
Lowri: wait... is that.....
Lowri: Clara?!?! Is that you?
Clara: Lowri?! That's a lovely surprise!
Clara: what are you doing here?!
Lowri: Gareth wanted to come here, he's showing my cousin Enfys around... you know, I think he kind of fancies her *giggles*
Clara: don't make fun of him then, Lo, having a crush on someone can be painful...
Lowri: sure... er... Clara, are you alright? You look sad...
Clara: it's nothing, really... it's just... teen age is difficult, Lo... just enjoy your childhood until the very last minute...
Lowri: Clara, you're making me worry... what's wrong?
Clara: it's just... there's this boy I like....
Lowri: aaaaah I knew it! Cool! Anybody I know?
Clara: er... it doesn't matter. And really, it doesn't matter, because he's going on a date with someone else tonight.
Lowri: oh no! I'm sorry Clara... but... maybe things can still turn around? Or is he in love with this other girl?
Clara: no, I don't believe he is...
Lowri: good! Then if you love him, things will work out for you! Love always wins you know *smiles*
Clara: thank you Lowri *smiles* but what if... the other girl... is also in love with him? Wouldn't that work for her too?
Lowri: uhm... no it wouldn't.
Clara: how can you know that?
Lowri: because I'm your friend, and I want you to be happy! And I believe it will work out fine for you, but you have to believe it too!
Clara: oh Lowri, you're so sweet and a great friend, thank you... but I don't think that's how things work....
Lowri: things work the way you want them to work! But you have to believe that love always wins...
Clara: I'm afraid I stopped believing that when it didn't work out for my sister and Trystan....
Lowri: yet...
Clara: what?
Lowri: it hasn't worked out yet, but we're not dead yet so... just believe it!
Clara: oh Lowri, thank you, you're such a positive force... thank you....
Lowri: any time my friend! But hey, don't think I didn't notice you dodged the question...
Clara: what question?
Lowri: who is this guy? Fine, don't tell me now, but as soon as I grow up and move into your class, I'm sure I'll find out *grins*
Clara: *smiles* I have no doubt about that....
Lowri: are you okay now?
Clara: yes, I feel better... a little bit... and I have to go now... but thanks again Lowri, you were a ray of sunshine in an otherwise gloomy day...
Lowri: any time! See you Clara... and good luck!
Clara: thank you... I think I'll need it all...
To be continued......
