Hello everyone and welcome back to the Love Legacy!
Last time we left the teen Loves and friends just about to go on a night out that might turn out to be life-changing for some... but will true love win, or will hearts be broken? Read on to find out!
James: so... here's the place...
Eric: fancy! Did you know it was going to be this fancy?
James: nope... but Luke said Nick got them the gig, and Nick is quite famous now so....
Eric: exciting! We have famous relatives, James! We should start up a business selling autographs! *laughs*
James: good one brother, good one!
Blodwen: oh please, you two! Can we just go in?
James: hey! Some of the others are already here, look!
James: Alex, Amelia, and Clara too!
James: I'm glad she came in the end! It will be good for her, to be out with friends... I often worry about her, what with her sister and mother living somewhere else...
Eric: I'm sure she'll be fine James... now, let's go find our dates, shall we?
Jenny: Eric! Over here!
James: right... Blodwen, are you gonna be fine on your own? We're just over there in case....
Eric: but we are on a double date, so please pretend we're not here...
Blodwen: what? ... yes... I'll be fine, yes....
Chloe: hey guys, people have started to show up!
Luke: about time, this is such a cool place but I was getting worried nobody would show...
Jimmy: well, it's just our cousins and friends for now....
Chloe: and Blodwen. Plumbob knows why she had to come as well... ah yes, sister dear made a deal with you...
Jimmy: oh shut up Chloe, she won't bother you... hey Blodwen! Glad you made it...
Blodwen: hey... thanks for inviting me...
Chloe: and why does she seem so shy now.... ah wait, I know! *smirks*
Blodwen: ... Chloe....
Jimmy: ignore her, she just has a bit of performing anxiety...
Chloe: I have no such thing!
Jimmy: *laughs* relax, everybody, it's going to be great!
Blodwen: yes, I'm sure it will be! This place is so... so... beautiful... and you are... you guys are... also....
Chloe: why, thank you Blodwen, we are pretty happy with our setup too! Do you like my outfit? Or do I need more sparkles? *laughs*
Jimmy: look, there are not many people yet, but we hope it's just early... but take a seat, relax and enjoy the show from the front row! *winks*
Eric: hey darling, wow, you look wonderful!
Jenny: *giggles* thank you, Eric, you're very handsome too...
Janet: hey James!
James: hey...
Janet: wow, you're even more handsome than this morning, how is it even possible? *smiles*
James: er... thanks... I guess? Uh, where is the barman here? I was hoping to get us some drinks...
Janet: we were wondering the same thing... I guess he's gone somewhere and we need to wait....
James: well, there is only one option then!
James: I'll make drinks for all of us!
Janet: wow, I didn't know you were a mixologist?
James: I am not, but I guess I can look up the recipe on simoogle and figure it out, right?
Janet: right! Sounds good to me *smiles*
Janet: so... tell me about yourself, James...
James: well... you've known me since primary school...
Janet: right, tell me something I do not yet know, then *smiles*
James: well... uhm... I like sports....but you knew that already... I have a very big family, but you also know that... I'm part elf and my auntie is the evil queen of the elves... but my uncle and my cousin Glyndwr are nice people. And cousin Enfys too. It's just Blodwen that's a pain, same as my aunt!
Janet: I kinda figured... but do you miss Elfland or whatever it's called?
James: not really, I've only been there once, recently. But I was not impressed. And yes, the castle is beautiful and all that, but it's not really my thing... I prefer a normal life...
Janet: good, me too! Although I have to say that I would love to travel the world. I would love to be an archaeologist see, and explore ancient ruins of ancient civilisations... have you ever heard of Selvadorada? Look, I'll show you some pictures...
James: not really... but isn't that scary? Don't they have, like, death traps and the likes?
Janet: possibly... but that's why I want to go to University first and get my degree!
James: cool...
Janet: and then perhaps... if you want that is, we can travel and explore together....
James: ah---
Barman: what do you think you're doing boy? Get away from my bar!
James: oops! Well, were you saying?
Janet: nothing... maybe I'll ask you another time....
Chloe: guys... nobody else is showing up! I thought this place was going to be packed... Luke, what did Nick say?
Luke: well, we are not Nick right?
Chloe: I knew it, he should have joined our band, or opened the evening, or something!
Jimmy: relax sister, let's just play for our family and friends and enjoy it, yes?
Chloe: fine, let's start then...
Sophia: Jimmy!!!!!!! Finally we made it, I was so worried that we were going to be late! Right Morgan? The train took forever!
Jimmy: hey ladies! Good to see you! Look Chlo, our public is growing!
Chloe: oh great, we really needed your groupies, brother... or should I say ex girlfriends?
Blodwen: what?!
Morgan: oh Jimmy you look so handsome tonight! We couldn't believe it when you told us that you were going to play in a band, we were fascinated by your solo performances, now it's going to be even better!
Savannah: and of course we couldn't miss your debut, right girls?
Sophia: of course not! Of course we had to come and cheer for you, handsome *winks*
Jimmy: oh thank you lovely ladies, I am honoured to have you here!
Sophia: oh, don't waste all your hugs on her, Jimmy, please leave some for me too will you?
Chloe: disgusting.... *sighs*
Blodwen: ....
Sophia: he's so handsome tonight, isn't he?
Morgan: indeed he is, and he's going to be mine...
Sophia: but why can't both of us have him? I'm sure he wouldn't mind.... *smirks*
Morgan: it's my night, you had him last week, remember?
Sophia: oh yes, I do remember *giggles*
Blodwen: .... who..... who are these people.... how dare they talk about Jimmy like that!!
Sophia: Jimmy, we're just discussing how hot you look tonight... *winks*
Morgan: Sophia! What are you doing! I told you it's my night!
Jimmy: ah... haha... ladies, please don't fight, I'm sure there will be enough time for all of you later *winks*
Jimmy: my heart beats for all of you!!
Savannah: oh Jimmy, that's so sweet... my heart beats for you too... *blushes*
Chloe: *sighs* brother, if you are done with your fan club.....
Janet: that I've had a crush on you since I can remember...
James: oh wow... er... that's a long time.... that's.... sweet....
Janet: oh James, you really think so? I've waited so long for you to finally really see me....
James: I see you now... I definitely see you now.... *smiles*
Janet: oh James *blushes*
Chloe: everybody! Welcome to our debut evening! We are Chloe and the rockers and we're gonna give you a night to remember!
Jimmy: wait, what? The band was my idea!
Chloe: shut up brother, we're starting...
Savannah: Chloe and the rockers? Really?
Sophia: it should be Jimmy and something or other! That's an outrage!
Savannah: oh she was in school this morning! In their class.... maybe another relative?
Savannah: see, I told you, a relative! Of some kind...
Morgan: not to Jimmy... to Jimmy she's.....
Sophia: competition!
James: I am! And it's so nice to see you here Clara!
Clara: i-is it?
James: sure! I'm glad you came. I worry about you sometimes, I don't want you to be lonely... and you can hang out with us! I'm really happy you came...
Clara: ah... that's very sweet of you James... thank you...
James: any time! By the way, you look very pretty tonight! Or this morning too actually... I thought you should know! *smiles*
Clara: ah... wow... thank you.... *blushes* you always look very pretty too...
Janet: ....
James: oh.... okay... well, I guess it's good to be pretty, right?
Janet: *laughs* oh, James, you're so nice....
James: how could you possibly not hear the music Blodwen, it's so loud!
Janet: don't mind her James, but come here instead, I have something to tell you....
Clara: oh my goodness why did I say he was pretty? Why?
James: what is it Jan?
Janet: come closer...
Clara: what?!... Oh no..... oh no!!!!!
James: good... definitely good... *grins*
Clara: .....
Eric: woooohoooo! Wow, brother!!!
Clara: this is the most miserable day of my whole life....
Jenny: Eric! Oh my goodness what's going on here! Why didn't you tell me!
Eric: well you were dancing and I was shocked... that's progressing ... fast... isnt' it?
Jenny: maybe a bit too fast? Oh well, whatever they like...
Janet: *smiles*
Clara: ....
Clara: I think it's time to go home....
Amelia: woah, wait, what's that face? What happened?
Clara: you didn't see?
Amelia: I was dancing... fill me in please....
Blodwen: Jimmy really is talented... such beautiful music...
Sophia: not one bit, we need to act. Now!
Blodwen: what?
Morgan: you're staying too close to the stage for my liking. Jimmy is ours, so get in line girl...
Blodwen: in... line? Seriously?
Morgan: do I look like I'm joking?
Blodwen: ouch! Did you really flick my nose?! How dare you!
Clara: *sighs* I don't think he knew he was being a jerk... but anyway, I'm going home... it's too much... I shouldn't have come...
Amelia: I'm so sorry Clara... listen, if that's how it's going to be, he does not deserve you, really...
Janet: *laughs*
James: and me! But I guess life is full of surprises, isn't it?
Blodwen: ....
Blodwen: that you're idiots? Yes, that part was clear...
Savannah: hey, watch how you speak to my friends, girl...
Blodwen: oh yeah? And does he agree with that?
Sophia: excuse me?! You ugly little pointy eared thing! You think you're better than us, uh? But let me tell you a secret... Jimmy would never look at you, never! You're not his type...
Morgan: besides, he has so many girls he can choose from, why would he pick someone like you...
Blodwen: what?
Savannah: *giggles*
Sophia: oh dear, don't tell me you were hoping for love here, girl? Oh poor you...
Jimmy: ladies! Enough.
Jimmy: I see that you've met my friend Blodwen!
Jimmy: see, Blodwen is special...
Jimmy: indeed, she's a very special friend *winks*
Jimmy: isn't that so, sweetheart? *winks*
Blodwen: ... what?! What do you think you're doing, Jimmy!
Sophia: how dare she talk to him like that! I'm so... so.... mad!
Jimmy: Blodwen, wait!
Jimmy: but why did you get so mad? I was trying to help you!
Blodwen: let me go home... please....
Jimmy: what now....
Blodwen: I don't know, out somewhere...to get a drink? Or dance? Or something?
Jimmy: what do you think?
Jimmy: ah....
Jimmy: here we are! As I said, not fancy, but it's a nice place to get a drink and listen to some music. And it's relaxed, no fancy people or horrible girls at all..
Blodwen: so you are saying that by coming here, you're making sure that we don't bump into any of your many exes, right?
Jimmy: hey, I've got us drinks! I hope you like yours, they usually make good ones here...
Jimmy: so, how do you like this place?
Morgan: *laughs*
Blodwen: how dare you talk to me like that... don't you know who I am?
Savannah: Jimmy! You stopped playing... at your concert!!?!
Sophia: I can't believe it...
Morgan: look what you've done, blondie!
Sophia: your... friend? I didn't know you could just be friends with girls....
Jimmy: *smirks*
Sophia: wait...
Blodwen: what?!
Morgan: oh dear, it's worse that we feared!
Sophia: this can't be happening! We are his special friends!
Blodwen: what....
Jimmy: now, shall we go find a more private place to continue this conversation? *winks*
Jimmy: Blodwen....
Blodwen: I'm not gonna be one of your.... girls....
Jimmy: Blodwen please... *winks*
Blodwen: and why the heck do you keep winking!
Blodwen: I'm going home!
Jimmy: ....
Morgan: well, at least she's gone... that's what we wanted, right?
Savannah: yeah, but what's the point if Jimmy also left to follow her? Great outcome...
Blodwen: go away Jimmy, I'm really mad at you! I'm going home.
Jimmy: how, you don't know where to go!
Blodwen: details.
Blodwen: oh really? By telling those horrible girls that I was just like one of them?
Jimmy: no, by telling them you were special! I thought it would give them a lesson, they were bullying you, Blodwen!
Blodwen: and I was handling it! Besides, why would you say those things to me.... they were not true... were they?
Jimmy: of course not! Could you not see that I was winking?
Blodwen: why, thank you very much for the honesty. Jeez, harsh much! But yes, did you get something in your eye or what?
Jimmy: oh my goodness, Blodwen, it was a sign to play along!
Blodwen: how could I have known! You are a horrible, horrible person Jimmy. You can't say those things to a girl if you don't mean them... you can't do that to me... I'm not like one of those girls! And you made me look like... like... and you... you... all those girls... seriously? That's.... disgusting!
Jimmy: look, I'm sorry, I thought I was doing you a favour! I owed you, remember?
Blodwen: that's not how you pay me back! I still need to think of the appropriate payment for that...
Jimmy: fine. But I'll take you.
Blodwen: but your concert...
Jimmy: doesn't matter, nobody was really listening anyway. Come on, let's go.
Blodwen: ... Jimmy.... wait!
Blodwen: I was thinking... it's not that late... maybe... we could go somewhere?
Jimmy: somewhere... where?
Jimmy: what! But we just left---
Blodwen: I know, but I didn't want to stay there, those girls were horrible. And I didn't even get a drink! Please Jimmy, for what I know, it's my only night out, here, in this world... please?
Jimmy: I thought you were angry at me...
Blodwen: well, priorities...
Jimmy: *sighs* fine, there's a bar close by, we can get a drink there...
Blodwen: looks nice... and deserted... where is everybody?
Jimmy: I don't know... do you want a drink or not?
Blodwen: let's go!
Blodwen: what?
Jimmy: it's not deserted...
Blodwen: well, that's good, isn't----
Blodwen: really, of all possible places, they're having their date here?! I liked this place!
Jimmy: maybe we could just say hi, get a drink, and leave?
Blodwen: are you crazy? My brother is going to kill me!
Jimmy: and my sister... you're right, let's leave. Look, it's not fancy, but I know a place close to home... let's go there....
Jimmy: *sighs* you're not letting that go, are you ...
Blodwen: were they telling the truth?
Jimmy: well... shall we go in?
Blodwen: you haven't answered my question...
Jimmy: take a seat, I'll get us drinks, okay?
Blodwen: this place is... uhm... quaint... more like a fishermen's pub than a club but... so long as nobody bothers us... it's fine... I suppose...
Blodwen: it's alright... I suppose...
Jimmy: yeah, I come here quite often... I don't live far from here you know?
Jimmy: nothing, just conversation.
Blodwen: too bad. I thought you were going to invite me to spend the night.
Blodwen: is that not what you do? With all your girls? Come on, spill the beans...
Jimmy: oh jeez... fine... well... I don't really know what to say... if you want to know how many girlfriends I've had... well... many....
Blodwen: you can't even count them? Poor girls, that's horrible!
Jimmy: believe me, they did not complain *smirks*
Jimmy: well, I'm also quite good looking, don't you think? *winks*
Blodwen: oh plumbob, men are way too confident...
Jimmy: what, you don't think I look good?
Jimmy: *smiles*
Jimmy: you're avoiding the question *smiles*
Blodwen: *sighs* fine, if your male pride needs to hear another girl saying you are handsome, fine.
Jimmy: fine what...
Blodwen: you are! Okay? Jeez... men....
Jimmy: why thank you! Now, did you say you wanted to dance?
Blodwen: yes! But... where?
Jimmy: follow me!
Jimmy: it's not really a dancefloor but nobody cares if we dance here...
Blodwen: I love this song!
Jimmy: you're a good dancer....
Blodwen: so are you.... ah... the music changed... uhm....
Jimmy: come here, let's dance this one too...
Jimmy: have you stopped hating me yet? *smiles*
Blodwen: I don't know, one reason or another... *smiles*
Jimmy: well, I guess I'll have to live with that then!
Blodwen: and do you still hate me?
Jimmy: why would I hate you?
Blodwen: you know... the campsite... the deal with your cousin and her boyfriend... you were pretty clear...
Blodwen: I won't...
Jimmy: good...
Blodwen: yes... good....
Jimmy: .....
Blodwen: I think we should go now... it's getting really late...
Jimmy: sure, let's go.
Jimmy: come on, my home is close but uncle Leo's is not. There is still quite a bit to walk but I think the rain is going to stop soon...
Blodwen: .....
Blodwen: yes I did....
Blodwen: should I not hav--
Jimmy: no, it's fine, it was... unexpected... but nice.... yes, nice....
Blodwen: *smiles*
Blodwen: ah, that... well... I don't know to be honest... but I don't care... I got what I wanted *smiles*
Jimmy: which is?
Jimmy: ... Blodwen?
Blodwen: goodbye Jimmy...
Arwyn: uhm... I guess... and is it today?
Aneira: yes! I can't wait! I can't belive Elena is getting married! *smiles*
Arwyn: so, where are you planning to go?
Aneira: well, dress shopping of course! She mentioned a new bridal shop... aah she's gonna look amazing! Can't wait to see her in a wedding dress...
Alice: morning you two! Ah, you're talking about Elena's wedding! Exciting, right?
Arwyn: morning, Alice...
Aneira: exciting indeed!
Aneira: actually, wanna know the funniest part?
Arwyn: what?
Aneira: it's Octavia that suggested the place! *laughs*
Aneira: Octavia... who suggested a bridal shop... I mean, can you imagine? *laughs*
Arwyn: mmm doesn't seem like her kind of thing...
Aneira: indeed! Or maybe it is, who knows, we might get an invitation to another wedding soon! *laughs*
Alice: so, what's up with the wedding plans?
Aneira: oh, alright... Elena said he's stressed... I can imagine, I would be stressed too! They're looking for a venue in Del Sol Valley, close to where they live... and work is very busy for both of them...
Arwyn: oh, I'm sure you would manage perfectly well An... we would manage....
Alice: .... be careful what you say next, Arwyn... I hope you're not planning to propose to my daughter like that!
Alice: what, did I say something?
Arwyn: er... don't worry Alice, that's certainly not my plan...
Aneira: ah....
Aneira: honestly, I don't really know what we're talking about or how we ended up in this discussion...
Aneira: oh here's Elena! Oh we need to speed up... where are the others anyway? I hope they haven't left without saying goodbye?
Aneira: and I have a wedding dress hunt to go to! *smiles*
Alice: right you are, go get ready, and don't worry.....
Arwyn: *cough cough*
Aneira: oh mum, give him a break! Arwyn, she's just teasing you, just ignore her...
Glyn: that's rubbish, I don't want to go back!
James: this is not fair, he should be able stay if that's what he wants, right brother?
Eric: exactly my thoughts... Glyn, why can't you just stay here? There's an extra bed in Trystan's bedroom now that Berwyn and Ella moved to the cottage... you can stay any time you want...
Trystan: sure, Glyn, any time, you know that...
Glyn: I know! Thanks guys... And that's why it's even more annoying... the only thing preventing me to rebel to my evil mother is my stupid duty to my country and my people... why do I even feel this? I never felt it before, why now? That's rubbish!
Alice: Gale, it's not too late... he could stay with us a few more days perhaps?
Gale: no, Alice, my children have caused enough trouble. As have you, as a matter of fact.
Alice: excuse me?
Gale: now it's time for them to go back to where they belong. And stop dreaming of ... a life they cannot have. Oh the irony! Don't you agree, Alice?
Alice: .... I can't believe you would bring that up now....
Alice: ....
Leo: .... okay, I know it's sad, but we're going to see them soon again, right?
Alice: are we?
Leo: but of course! Gale invited Zoe's family to visit, we can go with them!
Gale: wait, I didn't really invite---
Gale: our... what?!?!
Leo: haha chill Gale, Jay and Catherine are wonderful people, and you have already met their other kids so... all will be well, we just need to organise a time...
Blodwen: well, I guess that should be quite soon, shouldn't it? You shouldn't wait too long since you first issued the invitation, mother, otherwise they'll think you rude!
Gale: I... what? Oh dear...
Blodwen: you taught me this, mother...
Gale: indeed I have... see, brother? Everything I've done is either argued against, wrong or comes to slap me in the face! I should just give up and go on a looong holiday...
Leo: *laughs*
Alice: .....
Enfys: goodbye, Lowri, I'll miss you...
Lowri: I'll miss you too! But hey, we'll come back to visit soon, okay?
Enfys: I can't wait! Oh.... and say bye from me to Gareth, will you?
Lowri: *smiles* of course I will *winks*
Glyn: okay, time to go. Bye guys...
James: see you soon Glyn!
Trystan: yeah, I think we'll see each other sooner than we thought...
Glyn: thank plumbob for that! Oh, and keep an eye on Zoe for me... I don't want her to stress about this.... family visit... or to miss me too much... although, that's a nice thought but... I don't want her to stress....
Eric: sure, don't worry, we'll make sure she's ok. See you soon Glyn...
Alice: bye, everybody! Take care!
Leo: you seem a little to excited to wave them goodbye... is my sister still giving you a hard time? After all these years?
Alice: you said it...
Aneira: oh, hi Ella... yes, sure, I'll get moving then. See you there!
Octavia: I told you you were gonna like it!
Aneira: wow, so... white! And so many sparkling jewels! How did you know about this place, Octavia? It's very....
Ella: not your style?
Elena: or perhaps... do you have some news for us? *winks*
Octavia: ....
Ella: come on sister, start trying! We'll comfortably wait here to see the results...
Elena: so weird... she shows us the place and then leaves?
Aneira: go on, try on the first one Elena!
Aneira: yes it's nice... turn?
Aneira: you don't want your dress to be nice, you want it to be wonderful! Come on, try the next one!
Aneira: mmm nice as well but doesn't scream you...
Ella: oh yes, now we are talking!
Aneira: yes, I like this one too! This is more you!
Elena: yes... I like it... but there are still a lot I want to try...
Elena: thanks, girls...
Trystan: studying? Exams coming up on friday and I want to be prepared...
Trystan: uh, what? Why? I was almost done...
Trystan: sounds serious... what's going on?
Jimmy: no, really, can you please stop writing and listen for one second? It's bad...
Jimmy: of course they are, I didn't mean bad bad.... I meant...
Jimmy: I'll tell you now, but don't judge me okay?
Trystan: oh dear, is it about a girl? Really? I'm happy to hear you out but can't you see who you're talking to?
Trystan: I don't see how I can help you with girlfriends problems... I don't have any good advice to give...
Jimmy: just listen, okay? And please don't judge...
Trystan: you know I won't! Spill the beans Jimmy, I'm getting worried here...
Jimmy: fine. Here's the thing....
Trystan: of course I do... what about her?
Jimmy: well... she... I .... we kissed.
Jimmy: you promised not to judge!!
Jimmy: well it's not as if I planned this, Trys... it just... happened....
Trystan: so what?
Jimmy: what do you.... think about this?
Trystan: honestly, I don't know what to say! Well, isn't it... weird?
Jimmy: oh no, that was a very nice kiss...
Trystan: I don't want to know about that! Jeez... no details please....
Jimmy: I know, right? That's crazy, man!
Trystan: so.... uhm... are you together now or what?
Jimmy: oh dear, no of course not!
Trystan: then I don't know where this conversation is going...
Jimmy: I just... I don't know, needed to share this with you... she's your cousin...
Jimmy: why, because she's your cousin?
Trystan: because her brother and your sister are together!
Trystan: er... maybe we should talk about this later...
Jimmy: no, we need to talk about this now, so I can get it out of my system and forget about it. As you said, it's crazy. She's crazy. And we did hate each other. It doesn't make sense...
Trystan: er...
Jimmy: what? Look, I know you said you don't want to know, and I won't share the details... except that it was outside your house *grins*
Trystan: oh jeez really? Why did you have to tell me this, Jimmy!
Trystan: no I don't.... and perhaps we can talk about this later, yes? Or never again, that's also fine for me...
Jimmy: why do you keep saying this?
Jimmy: what?! Oh dear... I thought this conversation was private! You shouldn't be listening in!
Trystan: I tried to make you stop...
Jimmy: I didn't know people were actually visiting the library... willingly... I mean why would you do that? Unless you try to hide like Trys does...
Clara: because it's full of books! I love books!
Jimmy: no, thank you. I thought you didn't want details?
Trystan: I certainly don't...
Clara: but I do! Without details I can't help you...
Jimmy: who said I wanted help?
Clara: you obviously do, if you needed to share this with Trystan...
Trystan: well, if you need help, perhaps Clara is a better option than me...
Clara: plus, I'm a girl if you hadn't noticed, I give you an invaluable girl's perspective on the situation! So, spill...
Clara: oh, I see... maybe I got it all wrong and you don't need help in declaring your love for her?
Clara: but I thought... isn't that romantic? Two people that seem to hate each other and then all of a sudden, and quite unexpectedly, find out that they're actually in love with each other?
Jimmy: holy plumbob, you've read too many books Clara! Jeez...
Jimmy: don't laugh at me Trys! You promised not to judge...
Trystan: I'm not judging, I'm just... amused by the situation *grins*
Clara: but I'm sure that deep down you are in love! Look, let's analyse the situation....
Trystan: other?! *grins*
Jimmy: *sighs* you know who I mean... they were being mean to Blodwen. So I went in and rescued her. And what did she do? She got mad at me and left. I wanted to walk her home but she wanted to go out somewhere first. So we did, and then when we got home she kissed me. End of the story.
Jimmy: what?! Why would this matter?
Clara: it's key, Jimmy, key! It's not about the facts... it's about the reason behind them that counts...
Jimmy: er... I don't follow... and by the way when did you become a relationships expert, I don't think you've---
Trystan: Jimmy, don't....
Jimmy: ---ever got a boyfriend?
Clara:.....
Jimmy: what? What did I say?
Clara: just because I have never had a boyfriend it doesn't mean I don't know what this stuff is about! Just because the one I want doesn't even see me and makes out with his actual girlfriend right under my nose, it doesn't mean I don't know what it feels like!
Trystan: I have no idea... but you shouldn't have upset her Jimmy!
Jimmy: I didn't do anything! I didn't come here to have my love life analysed, I just wanted to let you know---
Clara: aha!
Clara: you said love life. Your words, not mine!
Jimmy: oh dear... I didn't mean... whatever, I give up.
Jimmy: thanks plumbob for that!
Trystan: also, I keep getting missed calls from an unknown number... I wonder who that might be...
Clara: the conversation isn't over.
Jimmy: of course it is! Now more than ever.
Clara: but... what are you planning to do next?
Jimmy: go to class? *laughs*
Clara: with Blodwen! You kissed her so...
Jimmy: no no no. She kissed me! It was just a moment. Won't happen again. End of the story.
Clara: and did you kiss her back?
Jimmy: ....what?
Clara: I knew it!
Clara: now, let's go, we're late for class. And if you want to talk, you know where to find me.
Jimmy: it meant nothing! She probably already forgot about it!
Clara: yeah, like you have... *smiles*
Trystan: *smiles* she's good....
Aneira: wow, this is beautiful! I love it!!
Ella: yeah but... it's not really you...
Ella: I think you know which one is yours... try it on again, with the head piece and everything!
Aneira: exciting!!
Elena: wow... I think you're right, this is perfect! This is my dress...
Ella: I told you!
Aneira: wow, Elena, it's beautiful!
Ella: congratulations sister!! You look wonderful.. but I'm not gonna cry! Aww I can't believe my baby sis is getting married!
Elena: oh no, it's your turn now!
Ella: what do you mean?
Elena: you're my bridesmaids, we need to find dresses for you too!
Aneira: oh, okay... but can we have coffee first?
Alice: hey Trys! Did you have a good day?
Trystan: mum, I have a big news!
Alice: wow, what is it, Trys? I haven't seen you so excited about something in a very long time... it's good!
Trystan: it is indeed! I got a call from the principal today... she said that because of my high marks I can graduate early!
Alice: oh wow, that's great! So...
Trystan: of course I took the offer! I think I'm done with high school time... and my birthday is coming up anyway so...
Trystan: thanks mum! Oh, and there is more...
Alice: more?
Trystan: well, since I was gonna grow up anyway, I thought why not doing it right now, so I can celebrate both the end of highschool and my birthday?
Alice: well, sure, if you want to organise a birthday party---
Trystan: I do, and I have done it today. I hope you don't mind mum, but the others are right outside waiting to come in... I just wanted to give you the news first...
Alice: oh... oh wow, well, okay, if that's what you want... I guess I'm gonna go bake you a birthday cake!
Alice: no, you are! Really, I'm truly happy to see you happy... I've been worried for you...
Trystan: oh please, I'm fine, can't you see that?
Alice: yes I can... I'm happy for you, my dear.
Eric: Trystan, are you done yet? I need the loo...
James: and I'm starving! Are we going to get this party started or what?
Alice: well, I'll get changed and then go baking!
Trystan: thanks sis... and yeah, very much looking forward to that...
Aneira: well, I'm not sure it's quieter... just different types of problems... or drama....
Leo: hey guys, what's up? Jimmy, are you alright?
Jimmy: of course I am... why would I not be?
James: honestly Jimmy, what's wrong with you, you've been tense the whole day!
Jimmy: I said I'm perfectly fine! Now, did you not invite me to a party or what?
Eric: jeez, chill man....
June: umph don't remind me...
Alice: why, it's beautiful! And he seems happy, that's the most important thing... isn't it?
Alice: oh, mum, you are not old!
Alice: I know mum, I miss him too... I wonder why he hasn't visited us yet... it's been a while now, hasn't it?
June: it has indeed! That's also why I'm grumpy. What might he be doing over there in the netherworld that is preventing him from visiting us? His family? I don't like this one bit...
Alice: mum, relax, I'm sure he'll show up soon! Now, shall we go celebrate your grandson's birthday?
James: why are we even getting up, could we not celebrate at the table? Looks like only my brother was the smart one that could two two things in one...
Jimmy: girls, wish for girls!
Aneira: Jimmy, shut up, he's not like you...
Jimmy: what do you mean not like me? You hurt me, cousin...
Jimmy: on the count of three! Three.... two.... one....
Trystan: if you excuse me.... I need some space...
Zoe & Clara: ..... happy birthday toooo youuuuuuuuuuu!
Trystan: aaah, here we are. Just what I needed!
Aneira: awww, my little brother has grown up! How bittersweet...
Jimmy: and scary... it means I'm next! I'm not ready to be an adult yet...
Jenny: he looks exactly the same Eric... will we also look the same when we grow up?
Eric: I hope so... except my brother, I'm sure he's gonna look ugly *laughs*
James: jeez, thanks, back at you, Eric!
Trystan: I don't know... I feel... lighter perhaps?
James: of course you do, you don't have to worry about high school homework anymore! I can't wait for this to be me...
Leo: but you just started highschool, James!
James: yeah I know... but it's not really my thing dad... I look forward to a homework-free life....
Jimmy: but it's gonna be rubbish without you in school, Trystan... you've always been my best friend!
Trystan: and so I shall remain, I will just not be in the same class as you guys...
Jimmy: I'm gonna miss you...
Clara: oh, don't worry, you can tell your drama to me *smiles*
Leo: what drama?
Jimmy: nothing! It's nothing, uncle Leo, just school stuff...
Clara: *giggles*
Janet: mmm this cake is delicious, isn't it, sister?
Jenny: indeed it is... the cousins are so lucky to have both auntie Alice and grandma June cooking for them!
Chloe: will you just... shut up ... please....
Clara: ah... alright...
Lowri: mum, what kind of question is that?!
Alice: sorry I just wanted to check that everything was fine...
Clara: no it's ok. It's fine really. It's just... Matilda left mum's house too and... we're not really communicating at the moment...
Alice: oh no, I'm sorry...
Lowri: I don't want to say I told you so, mum, but....
Alice: does Trystan know that?
Clara: no... but perhaps it's better that he doesn't know. See, I really wanted for them to be together, they loved each other very much, they were just too proud to admit it. At least that's how I see it. But now... I really just want both of them to be happy...
Alice: that's very sweet of you, Clara! And tell me, do you have a boyfriend? You're such a lovely girl, I'm sure boys will be queuing to be with you!
Lowri: MUM!
Clara: er... uhm... thanks, but no. It seems that lovely girls are not the ones boys fall for.... *sighs*
Alice: oh dear, I'm really sorry...
Clara: that's ok... *smiles*
Lowri: *sighs*
June: here it is, a wonderful blueberry pie for you!
Jenny: oh wow, June, this smells delicious, thank you!
Berwyn: and us poor people left cake-less... much appreciated!
Trystan: haha I don't know, why don't you ask her? On the other hand, it's nice if you all have to come here for the cake, it's nice to have you guys around! This house would be too big for the eight of us... it was build to host the whole Love family...
Janet: and friends!
Trystan: indeed, and friends *smiles*
Ella: *eating* sunday...
Aneira: and yes we are! We already picked our dresses... kind of matching, same style but different colour...
Amelia: wow so soon! And what a busy week for us Loves... first Trystan's birthday, then prom on Saturday, then wedding on Sunday! Isn't it amazing?
James: oh jeez I had forgotten about prom... if you excuse me....
Arwyn: ....
Lowri: not me, not my time for prom.... yet.... I must say I am looking forward to growing up... I know that Trystan hated the drama of teen age, but I'm so looking forward to it! It's so boring being a child, now that it's just me and Gareth...
Alice: where is he, by the way?
Lowri: Amelia said he was not well and he stayed home...
Zoe: speaking of which, I think I'll make my way home now... too many emotions in just a few days! And I'd better not think about prom... I was so hoping to go with Glyn.... I'm heartbroken...
Lowri: I don't know... but sounds like fun, maybe you could go with someone as a friend or something...
Clara: rubbish, Amelia is going with Alex... Jimmy I'm sure will have one girl or another...
Lowri: what about Luke?
Clara: yeah maybe... but I think he has a girlfriend, I overheard him talking on the phone outside school today...
Lowri: well, then why don't you find someone outside our friends group?
Lowri: someone ... external... who's not a Love....
Clara: what?! But... that's scary... I don't know anyone else...
Lowri: well, maybe it will be the occasion to get to know someone!
Shameka: I think it's a wise idea, girl, I second what my great-grandaughter just said....
Clara: what....
Shameka: hi, I'm Shameka, June's mum! I didn't mean to overhear, but this piece of delicious cake had been left alone and was calling me, so ....
Clara: oh my goodness, is this a ghost?!?!?!
Lowri: yep, that's my great-grandmother. No worries, she's nice!
Clara: er... sure... but uhm... I think it's time for me to go.... everybody else has left so... er...
Lowri: no, Clara, stay, please! She's totally nice, I promise! *sighs*
Shameka: oh, no, I'm sorry, I scared your friend away...
Shameka: indeed it is quite late, what are you still doing awake?
Lowri: I don't know, can't sleep... fancy pushing me on the swing, great-grandma? I'll go change two seconds, meet me outside!
Rebecca: hello, sister, I hope I'm not disturbing you?
June: indeed, we old ladies should spend more time together and visit each other more often!
Rebecca: precisely! And that's exactly why I'm here... listen June, I have a proposition for you!
June: a what?!
Rebecca: a holiday! You and me, old sisters holiday, in a wonderful seaside place called Tartosa... an old friend has a villa there, and she promised to give it to us for free, for a few days! What do you say?
Rebecca: really! You don't have to do anything, just say yes!
June: yes, I suppose we can... what a great idea Rebs, it's fantastic!
Rebecca: it is indeed!
June: nonsense, stay! It was Trystan's birthday today and there is still some leftover cake... wait, I'll go get you some....
Rebecca: hello grandpa... nice to see you too! What are you eating? June promised me a slice of cake...
Benjamin: eggs on toast! The best thing ever!
Rebecca: oh yes! It's amazing over there, the villa has a wonderful view, and the food is delicious!
Benjamin: good for you...
Rebecca: er... maybe another time?
Benjamin: alright alright I understand... but now, I came to warn you about something: you must get your cake and then leave from here...
Rebecca: what?! Why??
Benjamin: June is going to receive a special visit tonight! And she should not be disturbed... *winks*
Rebecca: oh... alright.... but good that you winked, otherwise I would have dreaded the worst! Wait, I didn't know ghosts could wink!
Benjamin: neither did I! What a cool discovery!
Lowri: I'm cool, thanks, you?
Arni: not too bad myself! What are you doing up in the kitchen at this time of night?
Lowri: I'm hungry... I think there are some leftover from yesterday's breakfast in the fridge... wanna join me?
Arni: no, thank you, Lo! You go ahead, I have to go haunt the coffee machine now!
Lowri: oh... alright... whatever you like....
Arni: hello, love...
Arni: hello, June. Have you missed me?
June: *giggles* Arni! But of course we can, come with me... and be quiet, everybody is sleeping...
Arni: ah, about that...
Lowri: no, but I would advise you leave the room now...
James: why?
June: what?! What are you doing still up and eating kids, it's midnight!
Arni: hey wait for me, June! Oh, hi James!
James: I was just craving a midnight snack grandma.... and grandpa!!! What.....
Leo: woah, Arni? Is that you? Wait, I haven't seen you in ages! How are you?
Arni: sorry kid, busy right now...
June: umph... what are you people doing awake at this time of night? Unbelievable...
Lowri: dad, seriosly, you don't want to know...
Leo: why would I not want to---- oh my goodness! Are you kidding me?
June: *giggles* oh Arni...
Leo: I told you!
Alice: yes but... in our bedroom!?!
Arni: it's so nice to see you too, Alice! And sorry that we ... er.... used your room....
Leo: that's embarrassing, Snow, let's pretend we're having a conversation...
Leo: Alice...
Alice: shush, I don't want to know. I really don't want to know!
June: I'm glad you like it *grins*
Alice: .....
Alice: good night dad... mum...
June: night Alice...
Leo: *grins*
Alice: shut up Leo, I really don't want to think or know anything at this point in time...
Leo: *laughs* come on, we'll be the same when we get old!
Alice: probably... well, for sure, but it's my parents we're talking about now, eww!
Lowri: hello... again.... grandparents.... *sighs* weird much....
Arni: as I said, thank to you, my love... but now, I fear I have to go, it's almost sunrise...
Arni: you know I must... but I will be back soon, okay?
June: promise?
Arni: I promise my love... blink twice and I'll be back!
