The Love Legacy - Generation 4 Chapter 36

 Hello everyone and welcome back to the Love Legacy!

As usual, life took over and again it's been over a year... but if you are still reading this (thank you, I appreciate it!) and are wondering: it might take ages between chapters but I won't leave the story unfinished, so keep checking in!

Last time we left some of the youngest Loves in a bit of a situation at a vampire bar...

Lowri: do you think she's going to be okay?

Arthur: that, I don't know...

Lowri: what do you mean you don't know! You're a vampire! Was that... was that enough to make her a vampire?

Arthur: I already told you I don't know... I can't know! I don't know how long they've been in there, how much blood he took, if she drank his blood too...

Lowri: ewww

Arthur: I thought you wanted to know...

Lowri: I do! But still, ewwww....

Arthur: exactly, we vampires are disgusting creatures... now, drink your tea, you'll feel better...

Lowri: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that---

























Arthur: it's okay, that's what we do after all. We drink blood! I find it disgusting too, if you ask me...

Lowri: so... you are vegetarian! How come?

























Arthur: well, that's a long story.

Lowri: I think we've got time... 

Arthur: ah--

Lowri: I'm interested! I didn't know there were good vampires around, I want to know more!

Arthur: Lowri, I said I'm vegetarian, I never said I'm good....

























Lowri: oh, come on, drop the act Art, I can see through you! You're a softie *grins*

























Arthur: excuse me?

Amelia: *sighs* did they even notice that I'm here too?

























Lowri: you are! You pretend to look tough, but inside, you're like.... a marshmellow!

Arthur: a... marshmellow.... wow.... I don't think anybody had dared call me that before... 

























Arthur: Lowri, I would appreciate if you kept this kind of comments to yourself... I have a vampire pride, you know... and a reputation....

Lowri: but I like that about you!

Arthur: ah.... well.... then....

























Arthur: thank you... *smiles*

























Robert: hey guys, I couldn't--- uhm, what am I interrupting, exactly?

























Amelia: Robert! Thank goodness, I was starting to feel really invisible here. And slightly uncomfortable... have you found anything? The concoction is almost ready...

Robert: that's what I was about to tell you, the books are vague... and it depends very much on the person... but then again, she's very young, if she drank his blood there's no way to know how her body will react... 

























Robert: except... to wait....

Amelia: then we'll wait... but I hope that my concoction can help her either feel better...

























Robert: or throw up. Either way, it's the best option we have right now...

Amelia: I hope we are still in time...

Robert: me too, poor girl, so young! Why would she even think of this, I mean, you can't go back... or well, you can, but it's not easy, and it's not pleasant...

Amelia: I don't know, my cousin has always been crazy, but this...  I don't think she realised how dangerous it was...

Robert: luckily I think we were able to find her in time. I think we can hope...

Amelia: good. Now let's go check on her. If she's awake and she drinks this, she might start showing signs... of any kind... 

























Robert: that would be progress! Which is better than endless waiting...

























Amelia: you have a nice house...

Robert: thanks... it's Art's house actually, but I've been living here too since...er... nevermind...

























Amelia: she's still sleeping...

Robert: good...

Amelia: good?

























Robert: well, better sleeping than dead, right?

Amelia: .....

Robert: or, you know, turned...

Amelia: .... was that a... joke?

























Robert: yeah, sorry... didn't come out well, did it...

Amelia: not really... ah wait! She stirred!

























Amelia: I think she might be waking up, we can't leave her alone!

Robert: alright...

Amelia: actually, would you mind staying here while I go check something?

























Robert: oh, uhm... okay.... when will you be back?

Amelia: I just need to go check something in the library... because you do have a library, I assume?

Robert: yes?

Amelia: I thought so! I remember reading something once, another recipe... I need to check it out! It might reveal if she is indeed going through transformation or not... assuming you do have potions books?

Robert: er... possibly.... I think... and what do I do?

Amelia: nothing, just sit there and wait. If she wakes up, get her to drink my concoction!

























Robert: right... I can do this...

Amelia: of course you can do this! I won't be long...

Robert: alright...

Amelia: .... men ..... *sighs*

























Clara: oh my goodness Gareth, this library is amazing! They have really old books on werewolves!

Gareth: *smiles* I'm glad you found something you like and totally forgot in what a creepy place we are...

























Clara: oh look, there are more here! Do you think I could ask Arthur and Robert if I could borrow some?

Gareth: no, as this would mean coming back here to give them back, are you out of your mind?

Clara: wait a minute, there's another picture here... who's this guy posing with Arthur?

Gareth: it must be Robert, there are pictures of them everywhere! Who knew scary vampires BFFs were so much into selfies *laughs* it's ridiculous if you think about it, isn't it?

























Clara: ... mmm no, I don't think this is Robert. It's someone else... and he's got scars all over his face poor guy! Wait, do you think.... maybe... Gareth, do you think there might be a third friend living here? And maybe... could he maybe be a werewolf? Holy plumbob that's so exciting!

Gareth: Clara, please calm down,  nobody else is living here, they would have told us. And I do hope there are no werewolves hiding in a dark corner somewhere... *shivers* come on, let's go find the others... 

Clara: no, please, I need to check out all these books!

























Robert: ..... how much time has passed already?

























Robert: ..... it feels like a lifetime... 

























Robert: come on Amelia, how long do you need to figure out a recipe?

























Robert: ... she is very pretty though... poor girl, what would possess her to ruin her life so young? Becoming a vampire is no joke... and spending an eternity alone, watching the ones you love die... why would she want to do that to herself?

























Chloe: *shrieks*

























Chloe: where... where am I? What---

























Robert: Chloe, you're awake! Thank goodness... welcome back...

Chloe: who... who are you? And what are you doing here? Wait, what is this place... why are we in a bedroom? Wait... you're not the guy I was supposed to meet... are you? I don't remember....

Robert: woah, slow down. It's ok, you're safe here, I saved you... I'm Robert...

Chloe: saved me from what?

























Robert: from the evil vampire that was about to have you for dinner! Honestly girl, if I-- if we hadn't turned up when we did, I don't know what would have happened to you...

Chloe: great. Just great. You basically crashed my date, did you?

Robert: your what?

























Chloe: my date! It was supposed to be my first--- holy plumbob I can't believe it!

Robert: your date? With Diego?! Are you kidding me?

Chloe: why, what's wrong with him? He was being the perfect gentleman...

Robert: he was... feeding on you!

























Chloe: exactly! So romantic, don't you think? Honestly, what kind of vampire are you... don't you want to feed on me too? *smirks*

Robert: what! No... no... no! What are you saying.... I... I....

























Chloe: wait, your colour is a bit stronger... what is that, vampire blushing?

Robert: what?! I... I don't...

Chloe: what, don't tell me that you don't find me attractive, I can see it in your eyes *smirks*

Robert: I... I don't feed on humans. I'm a historian.

Chloe: oh, I see... and don't historians need to eat?

Robert: indeed we do. But we... I mean, Arthur and I, we are vegetarian.

























Chloe: but that's ridiculous! I've never heard of a vegetarian vampire... 

Robert: well, we don't advertise it....

























Chloe: but then, what's cool if you don't drink blood? Come on, I dare you, charm me with your vampire hypno-eyes... or something like that... *winks*

Robert: er... I don't think... I mean... your cousin Amelia said you need to drink her concoction, she made it for you... it will make you feel better!

Chloe: uh, what? Did you say Amelia? Wait, is she also here?

Robert: of course she is, and your cousin Lowri, and your other friends too... they're all downstairs, waiting for you...

























Robert: drink, it will make you feel better....

Chloe: well, in that case...

























Robert: .... or it could also make you throw up, but it would still be a good thing...

























Chloe: what! Why did you not think of mentioning it as first thing! 

























Chloe: but you're right, I feel good... no, actually, I feel great! What was in that drink?

Robert: I have no idea... 

























Chloe: well, you said that my cousins are here, let's go find them!

Robert: oh, good, I see that you are definitely feeling better. Let's go, I'll take you downstairs... they'll be so happy to see that you're awake!

Chloe: ....

























Chloe: Robert, wait...

Robert: what is it? Do you feel sick or something?

Chloe: no... it's just....

























Chloe: *smiles* you're a vampire...

Robert: er... yes?

Chloe: and you like me, right?

Robert: I beg you pardon? What gave you the impression that---

























Chloe: mm I have an idea... maybe this night was not wasted after all...

Robert: what are you talking about?

Chloe: and you ruined my date, you said it yourself... don't you feel a little... guilty about it?

























Robert: absolutely not, it was the right thing to---

























Robert: ... Ch--Chloe...

























Robert: Chloe... what.... what are you doing?

Chloe: what, did you not like it?

























Chloe: you ruined my date! I really wanted to have my first kiss tonight, see, it's not fair that my sister goes around smooching her boyfriend and I.... and it had to be with a vampire... it's always been my dream... and you... you are a vampire... and I saw how you looked at me... and I thought... not everything is lost... maybe?

Robert: ....

Chloe: come on, was it that bad? Am I a bad kisser? I thought it was quite... pleasant but... or wait, maybe you don't like me and I got it wrong? Like, seriously? Please... say something...

Robert: Chloe... you.... you kissed me....

Chloe: of course I did, have you not been following the conversation?

























Robert: Chloe... I'm... you're so.... young....

Chloe: everybody is so young compared to you, you're a vampire for plumbob's sake! But you do like me, right? I thought I could feel it... You know what? Forget it. It seems that this night was doomed. First my date, and now this. Well done Chloe, well done. Just great.

























Chloe: I'm tired, I want to go home...

Robert: .....

























Robert: Chloe, wait...

Chloe: forget it, okay? Let's not speak of this again.

























Lowri: ... no, I can't believe it! And then you did what?!

























Arthur: well, then I---

Chloe: Lowri! And... another unknown vampire.... 

























Lowri: Chloe! You're awake! 

Chloe: I am indeed! And before you ask, I'm feeling great...

Robert: .....

























Lowri: oh, I'm so happy to hear! We were so worried....

Chloe: oh really? Who's we?

























Lowri: well, Arthur and I and--

Chloe: wait a minute, you got yourself a boyfriend as your dear cousin was fighting for her life upstairs?

Lowri: what?! No way, Chlo, what are you thinking! Of course not...

























Chloe: *smiles* I'm teasing you... maybe... *winks*

Lowri: Chloe, you and your jokes....

Chloe: was it a joke? I don't really know. What do you think? *winks*

Robert: ....

























Robert: Arthur? 

Arthur: ... so, looks like Chloe is feeling better! Well done Rob!

Robert: wait, what? What do you mean--- I didn't---- how---

Arthur: you got her to drink Amelia's potion thing of course.... what else?

Robert: ah... that... sure...

Arthur: what were you thinking?

Robert: nothing...

Amelia: oh....

























Amelia: Chloe! You're awake! And you look great! My concoction must have worked in the good way then!

























Amelia: and again, nobody notices I'm here. Great. I just spent an hour making you a potion and you don't even acknowledge that I exist. Great work Chloe, great work... not surprising though *sighs*

























Arthur: Robert... sooner or later you'll have to tell me what you had thought I was referring to... 

Robert: mmm this tea is delicious, thanks Art...

























Arthur: I'm not letting you off the hook so easily, Rob... we'll talk later...

Robert: ....

























Gareth: oh look, Chloe is alive!

Clara: thank plumbob....

























Gareth: well, if Chloe is fine, what are we still doing here? Let's go home...

Chloe: I think he's right, it's so late.... but if we go now we'll manage to sneak back in before dawn and nobody will have noticed!

Amelia: unfortunately I have bad news for you cousin...

























Chloe: WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY PARENTS HAD DINNER WITH YOURS? What about our cover?

Amelia: well, Octavia said she would cover for us but... it's Octavia... who knows...

Chloe: oh no, mum is going to kill me! I'm so dead! 

Robert: *smiles*

























Amelia: nobody panics, we are all still alive, and human.... 

Gareth: or spellcasters!

Lowri: and half-elf!

Amelia: yes, you know what I mean. Tomorrow we'll face the music but for now, all is well. And it's time to go...

























Amelia: thank you so much Robert for your help... for everything, really... that was so kind of you to help us...

Robert: any time...

Chloe: ....

























Lowri: yeah, thanks guys.. it was great to meet you... and thanks Arthur for your help... again *smiles*

Arthur: any time *smiles* let me walk you out...

Chloe: wait, what does she mean "again"? Who's this guy?

Gareth: long story... we'll update you on the way back...

























Amelia: oooh look at the full moon! It's so big and beautiful! Makes me want to sit here and gaze at it all night...

Chloe: not the time for your witchy rituals, cousin, we need to move! And you better hope it's still dark by the time we get home... I can't believe how long we spent in this... place!

Lowri: Chloe, rude much! Had it not been for Arthur and Robert, the night would have ended quite differently... we should be grateful!

Chloe: well, who said it would have been worse than this!

























Lowri: er... sorry... I don't think she means it... she's just... Chloe... we are really grateful for your help... really...

Arthur: my pleasure! *smiles*

Robert: ....

























Bat-Robert: well then, if the experience was so bad, no need for me to stay a second longer to say goodbye. I'm off!

Arthur: ... just call if you need help, okay?

Lowri: are you sure?

























Arthur: of course! If your cousin gets in trouble again, or if you visit the vampire bar again... which, of course, I do not recommend...

Lowri: *smiles* thanks Art... hug?

























Arthur: er... sure...

Lowri: in the end... I had a great night! Although I can't believe it's the second time that I meet you sitting at the bar having a drink... what are the chances?

























Arthur: well, I'm glad we met again... now, have a safe trip home with your cousins....

























Arthur: and don't start hanging out in vampire places too much, okay? It's not safe...

Lowri: I'll be careful... or give you a call, maybe?

Arthur: *smiles*

























Chloe: about time, cousin! Looks like at least one of us had fun tonight...

Lowri: what do you mean?

Amelia: Chloe, were we not in a rush? Let's go!

Clara: I had fun! I learnt to read tarot, I met a werewolf, I could borrow some ancient books for bedtime reading... it was perfect!

Gareth: we have very different ideas of perfect... let's go, I can't wait to be home...

Amelia: you know we're probably all gonna get grounded, right? 

Gareth: unless big sister was very convincing...

























Chloe: grounded or not, I still got what I wanted... kind of.... *smiles*

























Stella: *neighs* [it's time!]

























Leo: Stella! What is it? 

Stella: *neighs* [my baby is coming!]

























Alice: Leo, what's all this noise so early, what's going on?

Leo: I think Stella.... she's has gone into labor! We're going to meet our new baby foal soon!

Alice: aww, Stella and Quicksilver are becoming parents! Wait, how come I didn't know this?

Quicksilver: [it's not as if we can make an announcement, you know...]

























Leo: oooh it's here!

Alice: so cute!!

Aneira: well done mommy Stella, your baby is here! And he's so beautiful!

























Stella: [hello baby...]

























Arwyn: hey, I heard the commotion... what did I miss? 

Aneira: look, we have a new baby foal!

Arwyn: oh wow! Have you already chosen a name?

Alice: well, we thought Lowri should name him, as she's so much into horses... actually, it's strange she hasn't run out here with the rest of us... I mean, nothing can wake the boys up but Lowri... 

Aneira: indeed it is strange...

Leo: .... she did come home last night, right? 

























Aneira: of course she did! It's Lowri! She would have told us if she was crashing at one of the cousin's place... they were just going to the movies, she's probably just soundly asleep. I'll go wake her up, she should meet our new baby foal! 

Leo: ....

























Stella: [you are so handsome little one!]

























Aneira: Lowri! There you are!

Lowri: ah--- An.... you're up early....

























Aneira: of course I'm up! Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't hear the commotion, I didn't think you were a heavy sleeper!

Lowri: er.. what commotion? Yes I was sleeping... actually, I'm still a bit sleepy... in fact, I was just about to go make a coffee...

























Aneira: no time for coffee Lo! You need to come see! Stella just had her foal! He's so cute, and we thought you would like to name him!

























Lowri: what?! We have a baby horse now? I didn't know there was one on the way!

Aneira: well, nobody did, it was such a big surprise!

























Lowri: oh no, I'm so sad I missed it...

























Aneira: me too... sis, we've shared our bedroom for ages and I didn't know you to be such a heavy sleeper! There was quite the excitement and we all went to see.. except the brothers, of course. Are you sure you are alright?

Lowri: sure, why would I not be? I must have been really tired... but tell me---

























Aneira: of course, I assume you just expect me to ignore the fact that you seemed to have just walked through the front door, with the same outfit you were wearing last night...

Lowri: ah... I put it on again, it was very comfy...

Aneira: and the full makeup too? Identical to the one you had last night, of course... perfect for a school day...

























Lowri:... yes of course! Things have changed compared to when you were in school big sis, you need to be cool now...

Aneira: ... Lowri?

























Lowri: what?

Aneira: do I even want to know?

























Lowri: no, you really don't.... holy plumbob....

Aneira: *laughs*

























Lowri: please don't tell mum and dad... please.... they're gonna be mad... and it was not even my fault! We had to save... nevermind... 

Aneira: save... who? Lowri...

Lowri: oh come on An, you did your fair load of sneaky stuff when you were my age...

Aneira: yes, but nothing dangerous...

Lowri: yes, like running away to go find Arwyn in Elfland "nothing dangerous"? Besides, I'm not doing anything dangerous either...

Aneira: you better not!

Lowri: please, can this be our secret?

























Aneira: fine. So long as you are safe. As last sisterly cover-up before I become a married woman!

Lowri: wait, what? Do you have a date now?

Aneira: yes indeed, and it's this weekend!

Lowri: what?!?! But it's Wednesday already! I need to plan an outfit...

Aneira: there'll be plenty of time sis, besides, we can all go shopping together *winks*

























Lowri: I'm happy for you, big sis! Truly... it's so good to see you and Arwyn so happy....

Aneira: aww, thank you little sis!

























Aneira: ... but don't think I forgot that you owe me the story behind your coming home at 6 am...

Lowri: *sighs*

























Aneira: oh look, Arwyn said they're all back at the stables. Let's go Lo, it's time you meet, and name, our new foal!

Lowri: An...

























Aneira: what?

Lowri: you promised....

Aneira: I did. But I do want to know the story! Now, let's go!

























Lowri: ....

Aneira: what? I said I promised!

Lowri: okay... thanks...

Aneira: besides, I'm about to get married, I have a lot of things to think about... no space to wonder about my little sister sneaking out to meet her secret boyfriend...

Lowri: he's not my boyfriend!

Aneira: oooh, so there is a he?

Lowri: damn it. It's not what you think. And it's all Chloe's fault anyway!

Aneira: Chloe? What has she done now? Nevermind, you'll tell me later. Now go meet our new foal!

























Lowri: oh my goodness! He's so cute!

























Lowri: he's so cute An!

Aneira: I told you! *smiles* Now, go and say hello. And you also need to give him a name!

























Leo: there you are, Lowri! We've all been waiting for you! I have to say, I was a bit worried when I didn't see you this morning...

Lowri: I was ... sleeping, dad... but now I'm here! And isn't he the cutest?

























Lowri: hello baby... aww you're so handsome little one! What shall we call you?

Arwyn: An! You were right, she's a natural! Look, he liked her immediately!

























Lowri: I think I'll call you Falco. No idea why, it's the first name that popped in my head when I saw you. You like it?

























Lowri: aww you're so sweet Falco! When you grow up we're going to go on so many adventures together!

























Alice: Lowri! Finally, it took a while to wake up... but at least you're ready for school.. although, is that what you're wearing for school?

Lowri: mum, relax, I already told An, everybody dresses up for school these days, we need to be cool!

Alice: ah, these new generations... oh well, I guess it's better to get breakfast ready and wake your brothers up, otherwise you'll all be late!

Aneira: hey sweetheart.. 

























Lowri: always smooching, these two! So sweet it's quite disgusting *smiles*

Leo: *sighs* ah, so beautiful to see my daughter so happy...

























Leo: it reminds me of when Alice and I were young and so in love... we couldn't take our hands off each other...

Lowri: jeez dad! I'm feeding a baby here, a bit of respect please...  eww...

Leo: *laughs* you'll see it for yourself, darling... one day...very far away!

























Alice: hey dear, wanna help me make breakfast? *winks*

Leo: wait, what? Really?

Alice: yes, all these people need to eat...

Leo: oh, okay... I thought... nevermind...

























Alice: that's for after breakfast, Leo... when the kids are in school or university... and these two will be too busy with each other anyway...

Leo: smooth *smiles*

























Leo: the house is so quiet... I bet the boys are still sleeping... maybe a quick smooch before breakfast? *smiles*

Alice: *smiles* yes, why n---

























Trystan: morning mum, dad....

Alice: aargh! Trystan! I hadn't seen you there...

























Trystan: I so caught them flirting, didn't I....

























Leo: there are way too many people in this house... I think it's time for Alice and I to go on a romantic escape somewhere... after Aneira's wedding...

























Trystan: wow, you and dad are up and ready so early!

Alice: obviously you and your brothers didn't hear a thing, did you?

Trystan: what are you talking about?

Alice: we have a new foal! Lowri called him Falco...

























Trystan: oh, sweet! I didn't know Stella was expecting... very cool! I'll go meet him after class, I'm super late and need coffee...

Leo: you're in a good mood Trys, it's good to see you cheerful!

Trystan: I'm excited to go back to my university classes today! Yesterday was super cool, although I have a lot of essays to write... I'm doing physics and robotics right now, so interesting!

Leo: that's good, I'm glad you like it!

























Leo: can I help you darling?

Alice: thanks Leo, but actually I'm just making omelettes, they're quick...

























Leo: oh alright... I thought we were going to cook together?

Alice: we were, but then I realised breakfast is just a quick and easy one to make... but you can keep me company *smiles*

























Trystan: I can't believe how in love my parents still are... but then again, we have a good track record of that in the family... look at grandma and grandpa! Or ghost-grandpa, I should say... we were so lucky to grow up in such a loving family... although I wonder if this will ever happen to me.... *sighs*

























Leo: woohoooo well done Alice!

Alice: *laughs* Leo! What are you doing?

Leo: if I can't cook with you, I'll cheer you on!

























Alice: haha oh come on...

Leo: no, really, you're amazing Alice, well done!

























Alice: oh come on, stop it or I'll burn the omelettes!

Leo: you're fantastic! I love you so much!

Alice: I love you too, you silly *smiles*

Trystan: ....

























Alice: breakfast is ready!

Trystan: thanks mum... it looks delicious!

























Eric: morning family! Do I smell breakfast?

























Eric: ewww, parents! Your kids should not witness this... AND before breakfast....get a room!

























James: hey brother, why are you shouting?

Eric: don't look up James, for your own sake...

























James: uh?

Eric: parents smooch alert... ewww!

























James: oh come on Eric, you smooch Jenny all the time...

Eric: not in public! You and Janine on the other hand, you just have to be in everybody's face... 

James: what can I do, we can't stay off each other for too long, if you know what I mean *grins*

Eric: oh jeez, not you too... I need my breakfast...

Trystan: *laughs* that's some topic for breakfast conversations....

























Eric: that's right, speaking of being in people's faces, poor Trystan!

James: oh dear, actually I had not thought about that... oops!

Trystan: poor Trystan what? What are you talking about?

























James: there, now you get out of this one...

Eric: Trystan, we're sorry...

Trystan: about what?

























Eric: well... we didn't mean to boast about our smooching time with our girlfriends... we just had not thought that it might... make you feel bad...

Trystan: why would it?

Eric: well, because you.... er... you're not very active in that department?

Trystan: ah...

























James: poor Trys... I was hoping that he would finally have the time of his life at university, but he didn't even move out... I mean, who goes to university to study? I would certainly go for the parties! If I lived away from here, I would have parties every night and--- wait, I have an idea....

























Lowri: morning! Finally you three woke up!

Eric: oh, look who appeared again! As if you had any sleep at all, dear sister....

Lowri: what do you mean?

Eric: well, I came home from my date with Jenny quite late too... it was almost 4 am... and you had not come back yet....

























Lowri: holy plumbob, shut up Eric!

Eric: *smiles* I will, if you tell me where you were... and how you pulled it off this morning! Did you just walk in as if nothing had happened?

Lowri: not now!

James: stop whispering people, I can't hear you!

Eric: fine, let's talk in school later. Now it's breakfast time or I'm gonna starve!

Lowri: fine...

























Trystan: Eric, you really should not worry about me. I'm fine!

Eric: I'm sure you are, bro... but you're our big brother and... well, we worry about you sometimes...

James: well, quite often actually. You're never going out with us... you don't seem to have any friends other than us, and Jimmy...

























Trystan: jeez you're making me look like a weirdo! I'm totally fine, I'm just an introvert, I prefer to be at home, do my own thing you know... but hey, I'm going to university now!

James: yeah, but that's a bit of a joke...

Eric: James!

James: no, really, I don't get it. Why would you live at home and just go there to attend classes? I mean, you're missing all the fun! The adventure, the thrill of living by yourself, possibly with friends, and being free! I mean, think about it! A party every night... going out with girls every night...

Eric: girls? What about Janine?

James: I'm just saying... he's missing all the fun!

Eric: you've got a point there...

























Trystan: .....

Arwyn: hey, you haven't finished off all the breakfast, have you?

James: of course not... but if you're not quick enough we might... we've got a swimming competition today and need fuel!

Aneira: leave some for me too!

























James: really, the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced we should go for it... it's a crazy idea but... we're the Loves, we always have crazy ideas, right? To keep the storyline interesting, of course *grins*

Eric: who are you talking to, brother?

James: no one, just thinking out loud...

























Aneira: hey sis, can I sit with you?

Lowri: sure...

























Lowri: but I don't want to talk about it. Not now.. and by the way, Eric knows about it too...

Aneira: how can he?

Lowri: apparently he didn't come home much earlier than I did...

Arwyn: what are you two whispering about?

























Lowri: nothing...

Aneira: oh just sisters stuff...

Arwyn: aaah it's about your secret escape last night!

























Lowri: what?! An! You had promised!

Aneira: I didn't say anything!

























Arwyn: I... okay, fine. I was in the toilet and looked outside, and I saw you running in the distance... I assumed you had been out and were trying to sneak back in before anybody noticed....

Lowri: oh dear....

Aneira: and you didn't tell me?

Arwyn: I forgot about it to be honest... as I was looking out the commotion started and I came outside to see what was happening...

























Lowri: thank goodness it was you in the bathroom and not mum or dad...

Arwyn: well, I assume they would use their en suite anyway...

Aneira: ... can we please change the topic? I do not want to think about my parents using the bathroom, ewww!

























Arwyn: so, how was the night out?

Lowri: er... I don't want to talk about it...

Aneira: apparently it's a big secret!


Arwyn: oh sorry, I didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable. You're like a little sister to me, I was teasing you... and I want to make sure you are okay and everybody is treating you respectfully, you know, otherwise you call me!

Aneira: aww, Arwyn, that's so sweet!

























Lowri: yes... thank you Arwyn... I like being your little sister *smiles* you're part of my family too you know... and don't worry, all is ok. We just stayed out too long. But thank you...

Arwyn: anytime!

Aneira: awww

























Lowri: okay, school time now...

Aneira: Arwyn, that was so sweet! You've always been part of the family but... I didn't know that my siblings were like siblings to you too...

Arwyn: of course they are!

James: sis! Wait a minute, since you are there, do you want my pile of dirty dishes too?

Lowri: no, but since you are on dishwashing duty you could take mine perhaps?

James: no, thank you, I need to talk to big sister here...

























James: ok then, sis, I need to talk to you.

Aneira: and what about this big pile of dirty dishes?

























Arwyn: I'll take it...

Aneira: no, Arwyn, you don't need to, it's his turn...

James: really? You're the best bro!

























Arwyn: *smiles* no problem...

Aneira: ah, you're too soft Arwyn... but I love that about you...

























James: okay then, I had one crazy idea and I need to run it past someone else...

Aneira: okay... what kind of idea? I'm glad you're asking me but... if you haven't told Eric yet it must be really crazy... should I be worried?

James: naaah... but it is indeed a little bit crazy...

























Lowri: let's hear this crazy idea, then!

James: ah, this was for Aneira only but... well you can know it too...

Lowri: that's for refusing to wash my one dish! Speaking of which, what happened to your dish pile?

James: oh, Arwyn is washing them. He's the best!

























James: okay then, listen up. I was thinking about poor Trystan...

Aneira: why "poor"?

James: well, Eric and I are always talking about our parties, fun stuff with friends, dates, smooching activities...

Lowri: ewww who would want to hear about that! Besides, nobody needs to hear about it, when everybody can see it...

James: anyway, I was saying: Trystan always gets left out and we feel sorry for him. 

Aneira: well, just because he doesn't like to have the same lifestyle and social life that you and Eric have it doesn't mean he's not happy...

James: but is he really? I mean, he joined university but is missing the best part! 

Aneira: maybe he doesn't like it, he's an introvert James, he prefers to be on his own...

James: yeah but he's missing out on something big and he doesn't even know it! And if you keep encouraging him, he'll never find out...

Aneira: what do you mean by that?

























James: look, is he not moving out because he really does not like to live in the campus, or because he's afraid?

Aneira: that... I don't know...

James: exactly! I say, he doesn't even know what he's missing out on because he's afraid to experience something new. But what if that something is so much better? He'll never know if he never tries...

Aneira: James, this is true, but it's his decision...

James: I know, but listen up. That's when I thought... what if we offer him another option? He said he doesn't want to move out because he likes his space, his comfort zone. Which means, he doesn't like the unknown. But, what if moving out doesn't need to be unknown?

Aneira: how do you mean?

























James: we can move out with him! We can grow up early and go to University all together! Ha? Isn't it the coolest idea ever?

Aneira: what! That's crazy!

James: yes it is... but also cool, right? That's what I call: thinking out of the box! And I'd do anything to help our poor brother...

Lowri: this is totally nuts! You started highschool like, yesterday...

James: no sis, that was you. Besides, I'm fed up of school already, AND I would still be studying, right? But I would be much more free... win win for everyone!

























Lowri: he's got a point there... plus, peaceful house... although I'll probably miss my brothers... but I could go visit! And no more having to witness disgusting public smooching in class... I'm in!

James: so, what do you think?

























Aneira: are you sure of this, James? You would be missing out on so many fun highschool years... and what about your girlfriends? If you and Eric grow up early and go to university... what would they think about it?

James: I don't know, I haven't even talked to Eric about it... we'll figure it out... but what do you think? Exciting, right?

Aneira: well, yes...  it's crazy though... promise me that you'll think about it... carefully.... and if your brother does not agree you won't go ahead by yourself... it would be so messed up to grow up before your twin brother!

























James: no worries, I'll talk to Eric okay? But thanks sis...

Aneira: good luck!

James: come on Lo, school time!

Lowri: ... in the end though, I think I would miss them....

























Chloe: Zoe, will you stop shouting please?

Zoe: I'm not shouting, you're hangover! Where did you go last night? Mum was fuming! And then her bad mood magically vanished... what the heck is going on Chloe?

Chloe: please please please Zoe, volume! My ears are so sensitive for some reason... and I am not hangover! I'm just sensitive to light today.. like Lowri!

Lowri: actually, I'm just hiding major dark circles and red eyes... I did not sleep at all last night, courtesy of darling Chloe, of course...

Gareth: we managed to sleep a couple of hours when we got home...

Zoe: can any of you please tell me what is going on here? Where did you all go?

Chloe: oh Zoe, please, it's not relevant. You wouldn't have liked it anyway...

Amelia: well, I think she would have actually... *winks*

Chloe: what? My sister? the v--

























Amelia: the window shopping for Octavia's dress!

Lowri: the--

Zoe: what?

Amelia: Octavia is getting married! 

Zoe: oh... what?! Wow... well, that's great! But why did I not know about it! I would have loved to go dress shopping... but wait, shops are not open in the middle of the night...

Amelia: but Octavia doesn't want a regular dress, the shops she likes are... in the dark side... and we went window shopping, not actual shopping...

Zoe: oh.. I see...

























Chloe: see? As I said, you wouldn't have liked this particular window shopping. Happy?

Zoe: but something is still off....

Amelia: I'm sorry you had to find out this way, she wanted to keep it a secret, didn't want to make a big fuss, so she only asked those she knew would like to visit those kind of shops with her...

Gareth: ... [must.keep.a.neutral.face....]

























Zoe: still, something is off. And did Aneira come with you too?

Lowri: er, sure, of course she did, she's Octavia's best friend... besides, we also need to go dress shopping for her so it was a nice way to get into it... into the idea I mean, she obviously has a different style and would need different kind of shops of course...

Zoe: okay. Well, I'll have go to make a call so.... oh and by the way, congrautlations to Aneira! My mum told me this morning... it was about time for them!

























Lowri: indeed it was! And we'll have a big party in the garden, big, crazy, Love style wedding!

Zoe: which reminds me, I also need to get a dress. But now I really need to go talk to Glyn... we have a lot of ... er... stuff to organise. Actually Aneira's timing was majorly perfect...

Lowri: what do you mean?

Chloe: yes, sister, you just go and talk to your boyfriend  about who loves the other more... or whatever it is you two talk about in your endless calls....while we try to recover from this---endless night of dress shopping... so tiring....

Zoe: it's not like... whatever, there's no point. You guys keep an eye on her... are you sure she's not hangover?

Amelia: don't worry Zoe, she's gonna be fine...

























Clara: please don't go in the water if you are not feeling well Chloe, I'm sitting in the lifeguard chair but I'm not a lifeguard!

























Chloe: Zoe, please, do go. I'm fine, see? Totally fine.

Zoe: fine. See you later.

























Chloe: finally! She would not stop talking... my sister gets so suspicious, she never trusts me!

Gareth: and for a good reason...

Chloe: hey!

Lowri: I feel so bad lying to her though... and what's this thing with the wedding dress shopping excuse? 

























Gareth: oh, something that Octavia came up with, as a cover up story...

Lowri: wow... trust Octavia to come up with something like this... I'm surprised they believed her!

Gareth: well, she is getting married, the cover up is just the dress thing... she already has a dress!

Lowri: what! For real? I thought it was a bunch of rubbish! Oh my goodness! Why didn't you say anything?

Gareth: well, she kind of just decided and wanted to keep it secret, she doesn't want the big Love family wedding, just a small one so...

Chloe: *cough cough* can we go back to my storyline please?

Lowri: but well, I guess that's part of it too, isn't it? Octavia covered for us and that's how your mum did not ground you forever, you should be grateful!

























Chloe: yes, I suppose I should be... 

Lowri: but why lie to your sister? I hate having to lie to Zoe... why couldn't you tell her the truth, Chloe?

Chloe: yes, how about: "hey Zoe, last night we snuck out to a vampire bar as I had booked a date with a vampire. Then another random vampire interrupted my date and took me to his home where I laid unconscious on his bed for hours, before waking up and finding out that while all of this was going on, my dear cousin Lowri was having her own date with a friend of said vampire who also lived in this creepy mansion where we all ended up spending the night. Fancy joining us next time?"

Lowri: yeah you're right, she would have freaked.... and for the last time, I was NOT having a date!

Chloe: you so were! You two were so busy looking into each other's eyes that you didn't even notice when your dear cousin walked in!

Lowri: oh shut up, we were just talking! What were we supposed to do, count sheep until you woke up? Robert was watching you and that was enough... 

Chloe: except, I didn't know Robert and I freaked when I woke up...

Lowri: oh no! Really?

Chloe: no. I think he freaked out more *laughs*

























Jimmy: everybody give way! As last swimming class of my high school era, I will perform a dive for you!

Lowri: oh look, your brother is going to show us a big dive!

Chloe: uh I didn't know he was a good diver?

























Jimmy: ready.... set....

























Amelia: go Jimmy!!

























Chloe: *singing* I believe I can flyyyyyyyyy

Jimmy: uh, what?

Lowri: Chloe, shut up, you're distracting him!

Chloe: exactly!

























Jimmy: oh no, I got distracted!

























Jimmy: ouch!

Alex: Jimmy, what are you doing! We're swimming here!

























James: hey, Jimmy, are you alright down there? ... Jimmy? You're scaring me, man...

























Jimmy: *breathes* oh dear that was an embarrassing dive...

James: well, at least you are alive...  now I can move on with my laps!

























James: wait up Luke, it's not fair, I had stopped to check in on Jimmy!

Luke: too bad, I'm ahead now!

























Clara: mmm... perhaps if I did my signature swan dive I could impress James...

























Clara: I've got nothing to lose anyway....

Chloe: hey, wait a minute!

Lowri: holy plumbob, she's gonna try to dive as well...

























Chloe: ... how come she's wearing my same swimming outfit! The pattern anyway... that's not cool, she should not copy my outfit...

Amelia: or perhaps, you copied hers?

Chloe: excuse me? Me? Copying one of Clara's outfits? Are you kidding me?

Lowri: I like her outfits, they are very much... Clara!

Chloe: exactly, and so not Chloe... we have zero in common, when it comes to taste. Except this bikini now! But well, if she's copying my style, perhaps we will have something in common after all...

























Clara: *cough cough* hey.... everybody? I'm going to swan dive, please move over?

Lowri: Jimmy, move!

Jimmy: uh?

























Chloe: Jimmy!!!

Lowri: faster!!

























Lowri: holy plumbob that was close...

Jimmy: I can't hear you, what are you saying?

























Chloe: and you thought hanging out with vampires was dangerous... what about blind swan divers randomly falling over your head in a pool?

Lowri: it's too crowded... I can't believe such a big school has such a small swimming pool! We would need an olympic one, just for us Loves...

























Clara: I don't think James saw that at all... but oh well, at least it came out nicely and I didn't have an embarrassing fall...

























James: Clara!

Clara: or perhaps he did...

























James: that was an impressive swan dive! I didn't know you were a diver?

Clara: thank you... and I'm not a diver really, it's just for fun...

James: and I guess you must also be a good swimmer...

























Clara: well, I don't know if I'm good but I like it... it's fun...

James: I'm very impressed!

Clara: oh wow... really?

























James: really! Have you ever thought of joining the school swimming team? I think you would be a great addition to the team!

Clara: oh... I actually haven't...

James: you should! Why don't you come to practise tomorrow afternoon after class? 

Clara: er.. but is this for competitions?

James: yeah of course! And we're gonna win all of them! Or well, the team will, eventually...

























Clara: ah... uhm... I'm not very competitive... I just do it for fun you know... I don't like the pressure...

James: I see... but why don't you come once and see how you feel? And if you want, one of us can give you some coaching...

Clara: would you do that?

























James: of course I would!

Clara: thanks, that's nice... and what about Janine?

James: what about her? She can do that too if you want?

Clara: yeah... sure... whatever you like...

























Janine: hey you, what are you doing here chatting instead of training? This can be extra practice for the team you know! The competition is this afternoon!

James: oh come on, five minutes! Besides, I might have found us a new team member!

Janine: ... Clara? You're joking right?

Clara: and after this warm welcome, I think I might pass, thank you...

Janine: no, I mean, for real? I didn't know you were into sports?

























Principal May: hey you there, less talking, more swimming! We want to win the finals this round!

Amelia: oh wow, and where has she come from?

























James: Janine, that was rude, you should apologise to Clara...

Janine: I am sorry, but how could I know you were being serious? I mean, she's not known for her sporty attitude...

James: did you see the swan dive she just did? She's a natural!

























Janine: no, as some of us were busy training instead of getting distracted by other girls!

James: oh come on, are you jealous now? It's just Clara!

Clara: ....

Janine: your point being?

James: we're friends!

























Janine: doesn't matter, you were still being distracted. I don't want her in the team, she would be a distraction.

James: oh come on Jan, I really don't like when you act like this...

Janine: like what?

James: like you're randomly jealous of random people!

Gareth: oh dear.. does he know that you're right here?

Clara: I guess not. Why would he... *sighs*

Gareth: he's a jerk Clara... he's my cousin, but he's a jerk! I can't believe it...

























Janine: well, you tell me if I have a good reason to be jealous or not...

James: what! You're insane...

























Janine: and you're so hot when we fight. Come here and let me distract you, as it should be...

Clara: ... aaand I'm out.

























Principal May: enough! Everybody out, the next class is starting soon!

























Lowri: great, and Chloe? Let's pass by the cafeteria to get a quick coffee on the way, I don't think I can survive the next two hours otherwise...

Chloe: well said Lo... and anyway, I guess we can just keep our sunglasses on and pretend to be listening... right? We can pull this off cousin!

























June: hello, Loves! Anybody home?

























June: I'm back! 

























Lowri: grandma! You're back!

June: aww, sweet Paws, you came to say hello!

























June: aren't you a sweetheart! I have missed you too!

























June: and you too, of course, Lowri!

Lowri: good, I was starting to think it was all about the cats!

























June: but of course not you silly! How could I not miss my favourite grandchildren!

Lowri: we missed you too, grandma!

























Lowri: did you have a good holiday? 

June: I did! And I have a lot to tell you...

Lowri: us too! So much stuff happened while you were away!

























June: oh really! Did I miss all the fun? 

Lowri: no, you're just in time!

























Lowri: but that's because we knew you would be back before the weekend, so we didn't need to ask you to come back early...

June: come back early? Why? What's happening this weekend?

Lowri: it's not my news to tell, but you'll hear soon enough!

June: well, you look happy, so it must be a good thing...

























Lowri: it is indeed!

June: good, we need happy news! I have some happy news to share too!

Lowri: awesome, I can't wait to hear! Let's go then, we were about to have dinner. Perfect timing!

























Lowri: look who's back!

Alice: mum! I didn't hear you coming in, welcome back! How was your holiday?

























June: it was great, thank you!

























James: of course it was, a beach holiday never disappoints! I would love to get one too...

Arwyn: well, maybe after you finish school...

James: no, I mean, during school, instead of school! Hehe

























Leo: hey, full family again! Welcome back June!

June: thank you, Leo, it's wonderful to be back!

























Lowri: hey Trys, do you still have long to go? I'm starving... 

Leo: it's great to see you so taken by your university courses, Trys! But perhaps you could finish your homework later?

























Trystan: don't worry about me, just go on and eat, I need 5 more minutes...

Lowri: as you wish brother... I wonder what's so exciting in that book that got you hooked!

Trystan: it's robotics, I'm finally learning the theory behind what I've always enjoyed doing, it's fascinating!

Lowri: I think I'll pass.

























Alice: An, perhaps it's time you share your big news with grandma...

























Aneira: it's true! And perfectly timed!

Arwyn: indeed! Your great-gran Juliet had said it would all work out, and it did!

June: what would work out, exactly? What's the big news?

Aneira: Arwyn and I are getting married! This weekend!

























June: oh what a delight! I'm so happy you have a date! I can't wait to finally see you two get married, after all you've been through! Like Alice and Leo before you...

























June: but it's only in a couple of days...

Arwyn: we know, but well, once we decided, it all worked out fine... and we're getting married here!

Aneira: that was great-gran Juliet's idea... and we liked it very much!

























June: exactly like your mother and father... I remember your wedding Alice, it was beautiful!

Alice: ah, yes, we remember it too... don't we, Leo? Feels like yesterday but it was so long ago now....

Leo: indeed... too long... maybe we should consider renewing our vows at some point! But first, let's give the floor to the new generation *smiles*

























Trystan: ok I'm done! See? Didn't take long...

























Lowri: I really don't get it... how can you be so into your homework that you delay dinner with the family? 

Trystan: I just love studying! And the topics are so interesting... I learn something new every day, it's amazing!

Leo: it's really beautiful to see you so happy, son, I'm very proud of you!

Trystan: thanks dad, I think I really found my calling now!

























Lowri: if you say so... so what, are you going to be a famous scientist after uni?

Trystan: I don't know, for now I'm just enjoying learning!

Lowri: and you are happy to do it from here? No regrets for not moving out?

Trystan: none whatsoever! Besides, I would miss you guys too much. I could not bear the peace and quiet after living here so long! *laughs*

Lowri: well, you would have flatmates that might not be the exact representation of peace and quiet...

























June: but now, let's go relax in the living room, I have much to tell you!

Alice: yes, mum, we want to know everything about this mysterious holiday of yours! By the way, dad came looking for you...

June: aww, that's sweet. I hope he comes back tonight, I have something to tell him too!

























June: so, here we go... your great aunt Rebecca and I were having a fantastic holiday..... and by the way, you should really go see that place, it's phenomenal! Anyway I was saying...

























Arwyn: maybe we could consider it for the honeymoon...

Aneira: that would be nice *smiles*

























James: don't interrupt, I want to hear the story!

Eric: come on James, we're not children anymore! But still... please grandma, continue....

























June: where was I? Ah yes, Rebs and I were having a fantastic holiday, and then we thought: you know what would be really a cool idea? If our other siblings could be here too!

























Trystan: oh wow! I had forgotten about them...

Leo: Trystan! How could you forget about your great aunts and uncles!

Lowri: actually, have we ever met them? I don't think so...

Alice: omg mum, please tell me they all came, we haven't seen them in forever...

























Lowri: or ever, like at all?

Alice: Lowri! Please let your grandmother finish the story... 

























June: well, of course they came to visit, and we had a wonderful holiday all together! It was a beautiful reunion, I wish my parents and grandparents would have seen it...we are all old and wrinkled now! 

























Trystan: I'm sorry I don't remember them, grandma... I don't think I've ever met them, except great-aunt Rebecca of course. I just remember the stories... I remember there was great-uncle Theo that married Hildur...

June: exactly! Theo is my little brother. And then there's Charlotte, Rebecca's twin...

























James: ah cool, they were twins like us, right brother?

Eric: yeah, except that we didn't become a witch and a fairy... I think there was a story about that, right grandma?

























June: exactly! Wow you all have a very good memory! Charlotte really wanted to become a fairy... and succeeded in the process! And got married to her sweetheart Jonas, who is Hildur's twin brother and...

Trystan: grandpa's brother! They're grandpa's siblings!

June: exactly! You remember them more than you think, Trys.... and then there's my baby sister Lily... she's the only one of us who went to university and met the love of her life there... isn't it interesting, Trystan?

Trystan: wow, I'm going to University too!

James: wrong hint brother....

Eric: he really can't take a hint, can he...


June: but the thing is... we are all old, and lucky to be still here! Except for my darling Arni of course... so 
we should take all the opportunities we have to see each other.... so I have invited them over for the weekend! Of course, I didn't know that it would be Aneira's wedding...

























June: surpriiiise!

Leo: oh wow, I did not expect that...

Alice: me neither but... it will be nice to see them again, right?

James: woah, we're finally going to meet the long lost relatives! They're not going to be just characters of granny's stories!

Lowri: yeah but... isn't it weird? I mean, a bunch of old strangers showing up for our sister's wedding?

























Aneira: it is a bit weird... and it's gonna be even more crowded... but I guess it's ok?

Arwyn: of course it is! And imagine how happy the ghosts will be! Your dad will see his siblings again...

Aneira: that's true... well, great-gran Juliet will have her party after all...

























Alice: then I guess it's the more the merrier once more... 

Leo: after all, it's a Love family tradition, isn't it?

Alice: *smiles* by the way, what about your family? Are they coming?

Leo: nah, they're on a peace mission somewhere. But Glyn will come, of course...

Lowri: ....

























Lowri: well, at least that's one good news. No annoying cousin Blodwen this time! *smiles*

























Falco: oh, hello ghost dog, I'm Falco... and who are you?

Lumikki: I'm Lumikki... I don't think I've seen you before, you must be new....

























Falco: yes I was just born like this morning! This place is so cool, isn't it?

Lumikki: it is... I just wonder where all the others are, I only saw Noodle... we were supposed to have a meeting!

























Falco: a ghost meeting? Cool! What for?

Lumikki: well, we've heard my beloved Aneira is getting married this weekend! We need to prepare! Juliet said the wedding is here, so we can all attend...

Falco: cool! Can I attend too?

Lumikki: well, I assume so... now, let me go check on my dear friend Aneira, I must congratulate her!
























 
Arwyn: oooh look who's here! An, look who's come out for a visit!

























Arwyn: good doggy Lumikki, good doggy....

Lumikki: wof!

Aneira: sweet girl, we've grown up together...

























Arwyn: maybe she's come to see us get married!

Aneira: maybe... you know, the more I think about it, the more I think great-granny Juliet is right. If we get married here, they can all come out and enjoy it too... it will be wonderful...

























Arwyn: it will be wonderful indeed... *smiles*

Lumikki: wof!

























Noodle: I love this pond... so glad there is a pond here in this new house!

























Noodle: it's perfect for playing! I could stay here forever... but wait, I think I'm forgetting something... nevermind, this pond is so cool!

























Shameka: and finally, the day has come! Exciting! So kind of them to start gathering the family before sunrise, so we could say hello... and so that everybody was actually able to make it to the house in time, of course... let the celebrations begin!

























Shameka: hello kids, how are you doing? You look so beautiful!

Clara: thank you, ghost lady!

Jonas: if this is not my dear mother in law! So nice to see you again, Shameka!

Janine: ....

























James: are you seriously studying at 4 AM? And what's that smile for?

Janine: no... I was just watching your family... so many people!

James: too many....

























Janine: it's beautiful... I wish I could call your mum "mother in law" some day...

James: wait, what?!

























Janine: nothing, just daydreaming....

James: umph, what's there to daydream about, at 4 AM... seriously, why did we have to start this in the night I don't know... I just want to sleep....

























Janine: okay, you're grumpy today, let's go....

James: go where? There's no place to go, we're stuck here for the forseeable future... honestly, I will have to have a word with my sister after the wedding... this is no time to get people out of bed!

























Janine: then let's go back there...

James: back where?

























Janine: oh, come on James, take a hint!

James: what hint?

Janine: the treehouse! Let's go to the treehouse...

James: the treehouse? Why would you want to go---

Janine: oh come on! Seriously? Sometimes I wonder why I am making so much effort...

























June: good... all is going according to plan... almost everybody is here already.... and it's only 4 AM! A lifetime of organising family party, and I might have just cracked the code!

Lily: you have, sister.... although...

Jonathan: you might have cracked it too well that we're actually early....

Lily: and it's kind of early in the morning for an invitation... isn't it?

June: it is indeed... but if that's what was needed to have you all here in time... so be it!

Lily: I think I need a coffee...

























Shameka: and who would you be?

Amy: seriously grandma? I'm Amy! Don't you remember me?

Rebecca: aaah a good old crazy family party... I had missed this....

























Shameka: ah, but of course! I'm sorry, I hadn't seen you in a while...

Amy: it's been too long since the last family party in this house, isn't it?

Rebecca: definitely too long! And I'm so glad to be able to enjoy it with my brother and sisters... we're not getting any younger!

























James: why did you not say this before!

Janine: I did, but you're not taking the hint...

James: I just need coffee, I'm grumpy if I don't get my beauty sleep and my coffee!

Janine: I'll pretend I didn't hear that....

























Janine: wow, what a beautiful night! Look how big the moon is!

James: what? Yeah, sure... let's get going Jan, before someone sees us... 

























Janine: not very romantic, James...

James: well, sneaking out in the treehouse in between the guests arrive and the wedding starts is not supposed to be romantic...

























Janine: fine... *sighs*

James: what are you unhappy about, this was your idea! I really don't get it...

Janine: *sighs* I know you don't...

























James: what's that supposed to mean? Anyway, let me through before someone spots me!

























Octavia: you look beautiful An....

Aneira: thank you... this dress is... wow....

























Octavia: *smiles* you'll have to get away from the mirror at some point though, you know...

Shameka: ... wow... another baby! Congratulations!

Elena: what do you mean another... it's our first one!

























Shameka: another one for me to snuggle, after little Arno of course! I'm so happy for you... er... which one are you again?

Elena: Elena! I'm one of Toby and Scarlett's daughters...

Shameka: ah yes, right, right... of course....

























Octavia: you look beautiful An, come on, it's time to go...

Aneira: are you sure? Just one more look...

Ella: hey, what do you mean time to go? I hope you were not planning to start without me!

























Aneira: OMG!

Octavia: Ella! You're back!

























Ella: of course I am, I was not going to miss my favourite cousin's wedding, was I?

Aneira: thank you... I'm so happy you are here!

























Ella: of course! And you are so beautiful An, congratulations...

























Aneira: thank you El... but I think double congratulations are in order! 

Ella: wait, do you mean....

























Aneira: not me, I think you need to talk to your sister!

Ella: my sister?

























Elena: hey El... welcome back!

























Ella: oh my goodness....

Elena: surprise!

























Ella: wait, what's the surprise?

Elena: I'm pregnant of course! Can't you see?

























Ella: oh my goodness!!! I'm going to be an auntie!!!

Elena: of course you are! 

Aneira: What did you think the surprise was?

Ella: I don't know... I'm still jet lagged, my brain is not functioning 100%... 

























Ella: I'm going to be an auntie.... wow....

Aneira: you are!! Congratulations!!!

Octavia: hey baby! You made it all the way to mummy by yourself! Who's a good little man...

























Ella: congratulations sister, I'm so happy for you!

Elena: thank you *smiles*

























Lowri: hey sis, are you ready? People are getting antsy downstairs.... so crowded...

























Lowri: oooh baby Arno is here too! Is he happy he's going to have a little cousin to play with soon?

Octavia: *laughs* I don't think he knows it yet...

























Octavia: or do you? You're going to have a baby cousin soon! Are you excited?

Arno: ....

Lowri: okay, can we go now?

Ella: one second, I think I need to sit down and recover from the shock....

























Elena: yes, sit next to the pregnant lady who needs a moment too...

























Aneira: well, we can get five more minutes Lo...

Lowri: *sighs* fine...

Elena: and the sun is not yet up anyway, why rushing? We have the whoooole day!

























Lowri: yeah, and why did we gather before sunrise again?

Octavia: oh the usual, too many people, too high the risk of getting stuck somewhere...

Aneira: and so that the ghosts can say hello now, and then come back for the party! And so that we can have the whole day to celebrate first!

























Ella: come on Lowri, sit with us! Sit with your old cousins...

Elena: and very pregnant cousins!

























Lowri: fine, but only five minutes and then we go.... poor Arwyn, you don't want to make him wait, An? And it's going to take forever for people to get seated anyway...

Aneira: exactly! Perhaps we should tell them they can get started?

























Ella: there's no rush... and in the meantime... perhaps Lowri can tell us all about her boyfriend *winks*

Lowri: my what? I do NOT have a boyfriend!

Aneira: and yet... I'm still waiting to hear the story about the other night...

Elena: what other night?

























Lowri: An, you promised!

Aneira: I did, don't worry... but you did mention a he....

Elena: poor Lowri, don't tease her, El!

Ella: oh come on, it was just a bit of fun! Isn't it right, Lo?

Lowri: no, it most definitely isn't! 

























Aneira: and you still owe me the story, remember!

Lowri: not now....

Alice: there you are, girls! 

























Alice: oh, so beautiful to see you all together....

























Alice: and you are so beautiful Aneira! I am so so happy for you... and Arwyn....

Aneira: aww thanks mum....

























Alice: my first child getting married! Feeling a bit old already....

Aneira: oh come on mum, you and dad will always be young and beautiful! And in love...

Alice: that, absolutely! And I wish you and Arwyn the same my darling...

























Alice: now, time to go already? *smiles*

Aneira: let's do this! *smiles*

























Arni: wait a minute!

Aneira: grandpa! You're here! 

Arni: only for a minute, it's sunrise and time for me to go... I will be back later tonight! 

























Arni: but I wanted to wish you well darling... I'm so happy for you and Arwyn!

Aneira: aww, thanks grandpa....

























Arni: now, on my way back to ghost land, I'd better go and tell all the guests downstairs that they should start taking their seats...

Aneira: thanks, grandpa! I'll be down in a minute...

Arni: no rush, you know how long that process takes... it's probably going to be 10 AM before you can walk down that aisle...

Aneira: *laughs* true!

























Rebecca: come on sisters, all these people need to eat! 

Lily: and drink coffee... on it...

Charlotte: I'm making waffles!

























June: *laughs* it's so nice to be all together again! Thank you all for coming...

Lily: of course! We wouldn't have missed it!

June: and here's our missing brother! Hi Theo! And Hildur... so glad you made it!

























Theodore: but of course we did!

Hildur: he couldn't wait to join another Love family party! Could you, darling?

























Theodore: my favourite kind of parties! Now, do I smell delicious food being baked?

Rebecca: fancy a muffin?

Jonathan: I definitely do!

Jonas: but first, coffee...

























Charlotte: and here come the waffles!

























June: I wonder where Arni has gone... he said he was going to find Aneira, but it's almost sunrise...

Rebecca: he's not gonna go without saying goodbye sister, don't worry...

June: he promised he will be back later for the party, but I needed to talk to him....

























Tyler: mm these muffins look delicious!

Chloe: hey, easy on the muffins Tyler, leave something for me too....

























Leo: so beautiful to see the whole family all together again! And for my daughter's wedding... what an honour!

























Michael: hey beautiful! 

Susan: hello handsome *winks*

Michael: er... is that wine? 

Susan: *laughs* but of course not! It's 6 AM! 

Michael: of course... haha... 

Susan: it's grape juice water!

Michael: ......

























Arni: everybody listen up! The bride is ready to walk down the aisle... so time to start moving and get your seats! We aim to start by 10 AM max...

Chloe: honestly grandpa, you have zero faith in us...

Arni: well, let's say I have a lot of experience with these things...

























Trystan: did you see Aneira?

Arni: yes, she's beautiful! This is so exciting! Too bad I need to go back to ghost land... but I'll be back to celebrate with you all!

























June: hey darling, thanks for passing to say bye, I missed you!

Arni: I missed you too...

























Arni: I miss you every hour of every day... even if time is a bit different where I am... I can't wait to be able to see you again...

June: oh, Arni...

























Arni: I love you so much...

June: I love you so much too....

Charlotte: aww, look at those two... they share that type of love that transcends death! As I do with my Jonas... although I hope we don't need to test the death part anytime soon!

























Jimmy: ewww grandparents, get a room!

Jenny: *giggles*

























Jenny: your grandparents are so sweet!

Eric: we will be like them, one day...

Jenny: well, hopefully very far away! And I don't want to think of a scenario where you are a ghost, thank you very much...

Eric: but what about a scenario where we grow old together?

Jenny: aww Eric... I would like that... very much....

























Amy: my goodness, they're still at it... awkward much....

























Arni: my dear, now it's really time for me to go... enjoy the ceremony!

June: and I will wait for you on the dancefloor later *winks*

Arni: absolutely! See you there *winks*

























Trystan: and now... time to get the party started!

























James: oh my goodness, the sun is up! How much time passed? Did we miss the wedding? I can't have missed my sister's wedding! She's going to kill me!

Janine: relax.. I'm sure it's fine...

























James: oh yes, look! They're starting to go take their seats! 

























James: We are just in time! Perfect! That was a great idea Jan, I feel so much better now *grins* 

























James: come on, let's go before someone sees us up here!

Janine: and even if they do? *sighs*

























Arwyn: wow... after all this time....

























Arwyn: this day has finally come!

























Chloe: aaah, so dreamy... 

Jimmy: if I didn't know you better, sister, I would bet you are daydreaming about your wedding... *laughs* that's crazy right?!! 

Chloe: why would it be so crazy?

Jimmy: like, are you serious? I mean, I just celebrated my birthday and I have an excuse to think about grown up stuff, what's your excuse? 

Chloe: haha what a joke! You? Grown up stuff? Who are you trying to fool, brother...

Jimmy: back at you, sister! Who are you trying to fool, daydreaming about weddings? *laughs* the wedding vibes are getting to our head, we'll be fine tomorrow... unless... wait, don't tell me you have met someone now?

Chloe: shut up, brother...

























Leo: awww I can't believe our baby is getting married, Alice!

Alice: she's not a baby anymore Leo... but yes... *sighs* I'm so happy for her!

Leo: me too... and I wonder who will be next!

Trystan: not me!

Alice: oh darling, you never know! You are keeping your heart open to love, yes?

Trystan: er... no, thank you. I vote for Eric!

Leo: ah well, I think you have a point there...

Alice: .....

























Rebecca: oh wow, the boy is so handsome!

Theodore: they make a wonderful couple, don't they?

Hildur: they do! And this all reminds me of our wedding day, Theo... aaah so dreamy! *sighs*

























Arwyn: guys, I'm so happy you are here!! 

Berwyn: but of course we are, did you think I would miss the wedding of my one and only twin brother?

























Glyn: I'm sorry guys, one second....

























Glyn: I have just spotted the most beautiful girl in the entire world.... *smiles*

























Chloe: oh my goodness sister, he is soooo obvious... eww too sweet, makes me want to puke...

Zoe: shut up Chloe! He'll hear you!

Chloe: and even if he does? I still feel sick... you two are way too much... if he comes here to smooch with you I'm out.

























Catherine: Jay... who's that guy eying our daughter like that? 

Jay: what guy?

Catherine: that one... look! Such a smug face... I don't like him one bit! Did Zoe ever mention a boyfriend?

Jay: she did not... do you want me to punch him in the face, Cath?

Catherine: maybe later.... wouldn't want to ruin the wedding pictures... I bet he's a friend of Arwyn's... Jay, why do I have a feeling that something has been going on right under our noses?

Jay: Cath, you're a policewoman, you always have the feeling something is going on....

























Catherine: right, good point... but I do have a bad feeling about this....

























Berwyn: and then we went scuba diving... and this dolphin showed up!

Arwyn: yeah sure...

























Berwyn: no, for real! And you know what's even crazier? It started talking to us!

Arwyn: uhm... sure....

























Jenny: where is my sister?

Eric: somewhere smooching with my brother, I guess...

























Eric: speak of the devil...

James: hey! You break my heart, brother...

Clara: oh, hi James...

Jenny: where is my sister?

























Jenny: he did not just sit next to Clara, did he?

Eric: Jen, what's going on? You can perfectly see---

Jenny: my sister is so not going to be happy... where is she anyway?

Eruc: uh, why?

James: ... no, really, I think you should join the swimming team!

Clara: I'm not sure...

























James: I can coach you! Please? I think you would be great!

Clara: er... okay.... if you say so....

Jenny: he did not just ask her that!

Eric: ... I have so no idea of what's going on here.... Jen?

Janine: ....

























Jenny: Jan! There you are... are you okay?

Catherine: mmmh something is going on there.... I sense some trouble in paradise....

Janine: ....

























James: ah, Jan, guess what? Clara has agreed to join the swimming team!

Janine: great. Just great.

Jenny: oh no, poor Jan...

Eric: is my brother misbehaving or what? I can talk to him...

























Jenny: no, it's already complicated as it is... they need to sort it out themselves... but I don't think he's aware of what he's doing... to either of them....

Eric: either of them? Who-- oooh, I see! But... they're just friends right?

Jenny: yeah... just friends...

Gareth: ....

Harry: what are you smiling about, Luke?

Luke: nothing... nothing... *smiles*

Nick: is it about a girl? *smirks*

























Harry: wait, I didn't know you had a girlfriend?!

Luke: er... relax, I don't... it's just my brother being an idiot.. *whispers* besides, my parents just sat behind us, can we change the topic, please?

Amy: *whispers* Mark! Did you hear that?

Mark: hear what?

























Amy: *whispers* I think Luke got a girlfriend!

Harry: *whispers* well, congratulations, man! I'm happy for you!

Luke: er...thank you... but I really don't have a girlfriend....

























Ash: don't worry little Arno, mummy is coming soon! She's waiting to walk down the aisle with her cousin... you'll see!

























Aneira: are you ready girls?

























Elena: always! Ready when you are, An...

























Ella: it's time, An! I'm so happy for you and Arwyn!

Aneira: yes... finally... it's really time!

























Berwyn: it's time brother... get ready to be a married elf! *winks*

























Berwyn: I'm really happy for you and An... truly...

Arwyn: thanks, brother....

























Arwyn: I'm truly happy too... after all this time... at last I'm marrying the love of my life!

























Ella: let's gooooo!

























Arwyn: oh wow... it's time...

Berwyn: it is indeed... finally!!

























Glyn: look at him, he's so happy!

Berwyn: and so he should be! 

























Zoe: look how in love he is! *sighs* so sweet!

Chloe: I have to admit you are right... almost as sickening as you and your boyfriend staring at each other!

Zoe: oh come on, Chloe...

Chloe: no but really, I'm happy for them, okay?

























Catherine: I have a bad feeling about this Jay, I think our daughters are hiding something...

Jay: but of course they are, they are teenagers! Don't you remember what you were hiding at their age?

Catherine: what was I hiding?

Jay: well, me of course!

Catherine: true, I hadn't thought of that.... but that exactly proves my point! Right?

























Amelia: oh no, Alex, I think auntie Cath has sniffed something... we need to tell Zoe!

Alex: well... it's not like they're not being obvious... it was bound to come out eventually... don't worry, it will be ok...

























Susan: it's so nice to be at a Love wedding again!

Michael: well, there was another one recently...

Susan: which one?

Michael: Elena and Tyler's wedding?

Susan: oh true, but they are not in the run up to be potential heirs like these two! Much more exciting!

Tyler: .....

























Arwyn: at last... *smiles*

























Arwyn: wow... my Aneira is so beautiful....

Aneira: oh my, I have so many emotions right now.... I think I'm gonna cry....

























Zoe: aww so sweet... and she's so beautiful, isn't she? She's just... shining....

Chloe: of course she is, she's always shining... I'm happy for her... I wish I could feel like that too one day...

Leo: you go ahead son...

Trystan: dad... are you crying?

Leo: who, me? Of course not *sniffs*

























June: aah so beautiful! The first of the love heirs getting married... makes me reminisce of my wedding to my dear Arni... and of Alice and Leo's wedding! It was similar, in a way... aaah life is so beautiful!

























Jenny: aww I really feel like crying now....

Eric: why! One day it will be us up there, you know *winks*

Jenny: oh Eric, that would be wonderful... but I can't stop thinking that it might not happen to my sister now...

Eric: you can't know that...

Jenny: not with James! And she's always only wanted James... something's off with them Eric, I can feel it...

























Eric: I know. But it's for them to sort it out... 

Jenny: you're right, we cannot force it... and she can't either...

























Chloe: what are you thinking sis? Do you want to swap places and stand under the arch with your elf prince now? 

Zoe: ....

Glyn: all this love and joy... I don't think I can hold it any longer...

























Glyn: come on man, you're going to be king. Show some courage and determination!

Chloe: and what is he doing now...

























Glyn: Zoe...

Zoe: Glyn!

























Glyn: they are so beautifully in love, aren't they?

Zoe: they sure are...

























Glyn: Zoe... I know all your family is here... and your parents are here... but I really need everybody to know how much I love you Zoe...

Zoe: aww, Glyn.... I love you too....

Cath: Jay, look! I told you something was going on!

Jay: okay, you got my attention now... what does he think he's doing?

























Jimmy: oh not again... I really don't want to see this... hey you, hands off my sister!

Chloe: oh, Jimmy, you're way too late for that!

























Janine: all this pure love... I can't handle it anymore... not when I feel so sad... so disconnected... why is it happening for everybody else and not for me.... *weeps*

























Nick: shall we go get some refreshments? It will take a while for everybody to congratulate them and then take pictures and so on... we might as well get something to drink...

Harry: right you are darling, let's go!

Nick: brother, are you coming with us?

Luke: in a minute...

























Adrienne: hey Luke...

Luke: hey... I was wondering where you were....

Adrienne: sorry, I was kind of late...

Amy: awww all these kids are so sweet! Remember how sweet we were too?

Mark: we still are, Amy... do you want me to remind you? *smiles*

Amy: Mark! At our age, with the family around?

Mark: what, since when are you afraid of a public smooch? *smiles*

























Clara: such a happy day! Makes my heart fill with joy!

James: yeah, mine too! And that's quite a rare thing for me... 

Jenny: .....

























James: but then again, my sister and Arwyn are pretty special, aren't they?

Clara: they are indeed! And... uhm.... are you hoping to follow their footsteps one day?

James: footsteps? Ah, do you mean get married? Uhm I don't know... I never thought about it really... but yeah I suppose so... if I meet the right person that is....

Eric: ouch....

Jenny: .... I really need to go and find my sister....

























Clara: that's nice *smiles* me too....

























Berwyn: hey El... with all these public displays of love... I could not wait to have a minute alone with you.... do you think I could get a chance for some smooching too? *winks*

























Ella: shut up and kiss me....

Berwyn: your wish is my command... *smiles*

























Jenny: there you are sis....

Janine: oh, hey...

Jenny: may I join you?

























Janine: sure, but I don't want to take you from the party... you should be out there having fun... with your boyfriend...

Jenny: not until you tell me what's going on with yours...

Janine: I don't really know... he's just... I so wish he would look at me the way Eric looks at you... oh Jenny I'm so sad...

























June: come on, a few more photos and then we can move on to the family photos!

























June: 3-2-1 shoot!

























June: something funny now! 3-2-1 shoot!

























Gly: ... Zoe...

























Zoe: ... why did you stop?

Glyn: haha believe me, I would never stop kissing you, but there's something we need to talk about...

























Zoe: I know what you want to talk about... and it's a bit scary to be honest... 

Glyn: I know...

Zoe: just hold me...

Glyn: always!

























Zoe: I love you so much Glyn... and if you want to talk to my parents and invite us all over to your castle ... I'm in for it. I always longed to see where you live...

























Glyn: and I can't wait to show it to you... thank you Zoe, I know it's a lot to ask, specially considering how my mother treated us last time... and your parents don't know about us yet...

Zoe: well, I guess by now they will have figured it out! Poor mum and dad though, what a shock! *giggles*

























Glyn: so it's decided, we'll talk to them and then arrange an official visit so the two families can meet... and I can show you around my world... and my castle *winks*

























June: come on everybody, get together for a family photo!

Lowri: you should be in here too grandma!

June: I'll be in the next one then!

























June: 3-2-1....

Lowri: smile!

Leo: I still can't believe this is my baby daughter... I feel so old....

James: guys, look, it's almost sunset... almost time for the ghosts to come out! We should get the party started...

Aneira: yes! As soon as we're done with the pictures...

Eric: how many more?

Trystan: I don't know...

Alice: my daughter is so beautiful...

Arwyn: I'm kind of starving now...

June: ..... can you please just look at the camera for one second? The faster we finish the photoshoot, the earlier you're going to eat!

























Eric: there you are you two!

























Jenny: sorry for disappearing Eric, I needed to talk to my sister...

Eric: I know... and we were taking an endless family photoshoot! I just wanted to tell you that the dance floor just opened! 

























Jenny: oh cool! I'd love to dance...

Janine: I leave you to it. Thanks sister...

Jenny: any time... keep smiling!

























Eric: actually, can I talk to you for a minute?

Jenny: sure...

























James: so nice to hit the dance floor early, when it's not crammed! 

Clara: indeed! You Loves like a good dance party!

James: haha we do indeed!

























Clara: by the way, should you not be taking pictures with your family over there?

Clara: haha you guys are so funny! And you've always been so kind to me... I love your family....

























James: aww Clara, we love you too!

Clara: oh... wow.... thanks James....

























Janine: .....

























Janine: like, seriously? 

























Janine: Why is he doing this to me, why?

























Janine: enough. I've had enough feeling miserable. JAMES!

James: ah... Janine... hadn't seen you there....

Janine: obviously...

























James: I'm sorry Clara...

Clara: *smiles*

























James: what is going on now....

























Janine: what do you think is going on? 

James: Janine, what are you doing?

Clara: .....

Janine: I just had the urge to make out with my boyfriend in front of everybody....

























Janine: so everybody knows you're mine. Mine!

James: Jan---

























Clara: and on that note....

























Clara: ....

Alex: I can't believe it! What a jerk....

























Alex: Clara....

Clara: leave it, Alex... I'm fine....

Alex: no you're not, you're running away!

Clara: I just need a moment...

























Lowri: so... is it time for the toast yet?

Aneira: it is indeed!

























Arwyn: to my wonderful wife! And her wonderful family that took me in as one of their own at very early stage...

Aneira: awww, Arwyn... 

























Alice: aww, that's so sweet of you, Arwyn...

Jay: actually he's right, you Loves just take us in when we come along and treat us like family from day one...

Leo: I second that....

























Arwyn: woah where did this light come from? It's blinding!

Aneira: *giggles* I love you so much...

























Aneira: to my wonderful husband!!

























Alice: to our wonderful daughter and her wonderful husband!

























Lily: to the happy couple! Woohooo!

























Janine: to us, James!

James: er... to uh... us....

Janine: ah, I feel so much better now! The air is clearer... a public makeout can fix everything! *laughs*

James: ....

























Lowri: and so it begins.... we're all gonna get stuck and food might be over by the time we get there... usual Love party tradition!

























Scarlette: hey darling, congratulations!! I didn't get to my turn in the congratulations queue so... 

Aneira: haha thank you auntie Scarlette! And we are so many people now...

Scarlette: indeed, so great that we could have a moment in the food queue!

























Catherine: you both already got food... how did you manage?

Jonas: we started queuing ages ago...

Rebecca: before the food appeared! 

Jonas: don't worry kid, you still have time to master the art of being the first to get food at the Loves parties! *laughs*

Catherine: did you just call me kid? Seriously? 

Jonas: you're the same age as my kids...and I still remember when you were playing with them!

























Michael: good, you're in the food queue too!

Octavia: yes dad, we all are... except Gareth! And Ash, but I'll get him something. No need to worry, our family will not starve tonight *laughs*

























Aneira: Arwyn, I think it's working out this time, nobody is stuck and there's enough food for everybody...

Arwyn: indeed, everything is going smoothly! And we can start thinking of cutting the cake...

Aneira: hopefully that one will also not cause major traffic jams...

























Theo: these cookies are delicious!

Charlotte: we can see that, brother!

Gareth: let me try...

Tyler: actually Gareth, can I steal one of your cookies? I can't think of starting queuing again...

























Mark: aah this punch is delicious!

Amy: oh dear, the food has already started to disappear...

Ash: but there's more food over here!

























Aneira: and now it's time to cut the cake!

























Arwyn: here we go....

























Aneira: omg Arwyn!!

Arwyn: what?

Gareth: we better speed up... er.... which relatives are you again? Sorry I forgot...

























Hildur: I made it people! The cake has been secured!

Clara: and I'm next... can't believe it was so easy this time!

























Aneira: maybe it's a lucky sign Clara! *winks* Tell me, do you already have a boyfriend?

Clara: er... haha well, I don't think it's any kind of sign... I'm kind of a desperate case... but thank you *smiles*

























Aneira: come here darling, here's the first piece of cake for you...

























Arwyn: mmm delicious...

























Juliet: aaah at last! I can enjoy my cookies and the party in peace!

























Juliet: mmm so good! No idea where the other ghosts are, but they don't know what they're missing! 

























Eric: there you are great-gran! I was wondering when you guys would show up... enjoying the party?

Juliet: Oh yes, I am indeed! How I had missed a good old crazy Love family party! And look how beautiful they are... so much in love! Now tell me darling, are you also in love?

Eric: er...

























Aneira: oh Arwyn, look at the sky! This is so beautiful... I could dance with you like this all night...

Arwyn: let's do it then! We have all night to ourselves...


Luke: finally we get the chance to dance together Ade...

Adrienne: Luke...

























Luke: I know you feel that I'm too young for you... but what we have going on is beautiful Ade, and I know you feel it too... age doesn't really matter to me. Does it matter that much to you?

Adrienne: ...

























Alice: Leo, this is so magical... how many weddings have we danced at?

Leo: Countless... and yet it never gets old...

Alice: never! 

























Glyn: so... what did you think?

Zoe: I still can't believe you used your charm on my parents ... and they were okay with it!

Glyn: well, I am very charming *winks*

Zoe: no, really, do you elves have some kind of magic or something? 

Glyn: yes.. and no... it's complicated...

Zoe: they learnt that I have a boyfriend, met my boyfriend, found out he's royalty and got an official invite to meet your parents in the same evening... in the same conversation! And they didn't freak... how is it possible?

Glyn: maybe the shock was too much...

Zoe: haha probably!

























Tyler: how are you doing my darling?

Elena: I'm fine Tyler... I'm just very pregnant and getting tired very quickly...

Tyler: do you want to sit down a minute?

Elena: no... I love dancing with you *smiles*

























Alex: so... how are you holding up?

Clara: uh... what do you mean?

Alex: come on Clara, I can see you trying very hard to not look at them... and failing....

























Clara: *sighs* I'm a lost cause, am I not...

Alex: no, he is... just let him go Clara, he made his choice and he so does not deserve you...

Clara: I know. It's just... we have this... connection. It's always been there, and sometimes it seems like I he feels it too... but then he keeps choosing her...

Alex: exactly. Connection or not, it's one's choices that matter... I'm sorry if I'm a bit harsh Clara, but I hate seeing you pining for that idiot that cannot sort out his feelings. I feel bad for Janine too, it's obvious he doesn't love her....

Clara: but then why....

Alex: because he's an idiot? Honestly Clara, the world is full of decent guys, you just have to let this one go... speaking of, do you want to hear of my latest date?

Clara: haha of course! Please tell me about your exciting love life Alex, so I can live vicariously through you... which one was this one? The doctor?

Alex: no, that was three weeks ago. This one was the scientist... he works for some kind of government thing somewhere in the desert, I don't know... met him at a party... he's sooo gorgeous!

Clara: haha go on, tell me more...

























Chloe: so... who do you think is next, grandma?

June: what do you mean next?

Chloe: the next to get married! I'm sure you keep some kind of records of us grandchildren and must have an idea... or a wish!

June: well, it's not really up to me to wish for any of you to get married really, I just wish you all to find happiness, whichever way that looks like for you...

Chloe: I think it's going to be Eric! Or plumbob forbid, my sister... I mean, look at them... quite disgusting, are they not? Almost as disgusting as my sister and her boyfriend... I mean, can you believe it grandma? Quiet little Zoe that does absolutely nothing but is magically noticed by the most handsome elf ever... it's so unfair...

June: well, it sounds much like destiny to me Chloe, not something to meddle with....and what about you?

Chloe: what about me?

June: do you have a boyfriend? *smiles*

Chloe: what, me? A boyfriend? Oh please, grandma, you're joking right?

June: well then, someone you like maybe?

Chloe: no... I'm not as lucky as some....

























Alex: come on Clara, let's dance crazy!!

Clara: haha Alex, you are crazy!!

























Catherine: keep going, you rock kids!

Alex: thanks, auntie Cath! Wanna dance with us?

Catherine: no... I think Jay and I need another drink... then we'll try to process the... surprises of the night...

Alex: uh? I have no idea what you're talking about...

Catherine: *sighs*

























Hildur: aah Theo, this feels so nostalgic! Like the old times...

Theo: I know... so beautiful, isn't it? And so nice to be all together again... 

Hildur: thank goodness June and Rebecca had the idea of inviting us to their holiday! And to the wedding... we should come see the rest of the Loves more often...

Theo: we definitely should...

























Berwyn: how are you enjoying the party, my dear wife?

Ella: Berwyn! Don't say that out loud, they don't know yet!

Berwyn: well, they should...

Ella: not today... it's Aneira and Arwyn's day today... 

Berwyn: *sighs* I know. But I want to shout it to the world! 

Ella: I hope they won't be sad that we eloped and didn't tell anybody...

























Berwyn: well, it felt just right...

Ella: it did... it does... my dear husband *smiles*

James: are you feeling better Jan? 

Janine: now that I'm dancing with you and I have your undivided attention you mean? Yes...

























James: what do you mean? You always have my attention...

Janine: no I don't...

James: what do you mean? Remember the treehouse? That was not long ago...

Janine: yes but... what about Clara?

James: what about her? She's a friend...

Janine: doesn't look that way to me...

James: what!? You're joking right? She's like a sister to me!

Janine: ....

























Catherine: *laughs*

Jay: what's so funny now?

Catherine: I mean, did you know it this morning? When you woke up?

Jay: know what? Cath, I think we might have had too many drinks...

























Catherine: that our daughter was dating royalty and by the end of the day we would agree to meet potential royal in-laws who knows where? *laughs*

Jay: never mind that, our baby daughter is dating! How is this possible? I'm so not okay with this Cath...

Catherine: and yet you were very nice to him, that was very kind of you...

Jay: yeah, I didn't think I would be very popular with anybody in our family if I had punched my daughter's boyfriend in the face at my niece's wedding, would I...

Catherine: hahahaha definitely not! But that would have been a nice addition to a crazy Love party... one of the stories to go down in generations! *laughs* But no, really, I think we both did well, didn't we?

Jay: yeah... but just because I love our daughter, and our family, so much. Otherwise I would have really felt better if I could have punched him in the face... how dare he!

Catherine: they look sweet though, don't they?

Jay: yeah they do... but that's not the point!

Catherine: oh Jay, how are we going to survive this? Meeting these... royals... in their castle... I've heard stories about his mother, Leo's sister... and they are not good! 

Jay: well then, I'll punch him for smooching my daughter, you'll punch his mother for being an as---

Catherine: Jay! *laughs* well, I bet that wouldn't make a nice impression with the in-laws....

Jay: definitely not... I think we need another drink.... oh my, what a day....

























Amelia: it was a lovely wedding... I'm so happy for your sister...

Lowri: me too!

Amelia: if I have to be honest though, I'm a bit sad I don't have anybody to take me to the dance floor...

Lowri: oh Amelia, we're still young! There's plenty of time for that...

Amelia: I know, I know... but what if... I already liked someone?

Lowri: what? Who?!?!


Gareth: hey, can I sit with you?

Lowri: hey Gareth, sure thing...

Amelia: ....

Gareth: so, what were you two talking about that made my sister go quiet all of a sudden?

Amelia: nothing of interest for you, brother ...

























Gareth: oh come on, you can tell your little brother1

Amelia: no.

Lowri: .....

Jimmy: Trystan...

Trystan: yes?

























Jimmy: you have been a grown up for a bit longer than me. Do you ever find yourself wondering about....

Trystan: about what?

Jimmy: grown up stuff?

Trystan: uh... what grown up stuff?

Jimmy: like marriage, having a family... this kind of stuff....

Trystan: what?! Jimmy, are you serious? Like, are you thinking about that? You're the last person I would associate with this kind of stuff....

























Jimmy: I'm so not! It's just... maybe it's just these wedding vibes. I'll be fine tomorrow.

Trystan: no way, you're not getting out if this so easily! Now that you have properly shocked me, spill the beans!

Jimmy: there are no beans to spill. You're right, this is crazy, I just need another drink...

Trystan: no, seriously... I didn't want to make fun of you, I'm sorry ... it's just... I didn't think you were this kind of guy...

Jimmy: what kind of guy?

Trystan: the family type? Like, do you even know how many girls you've dated? 

Jimmy: fine, you have a point. You're right, it's so not me. Haha what a stupid thought...

Trystan: it's not stupid Jimmy, really... if you have met someone and are serious about this....

Jimmy: no, I haven't met anybody... it was a... theoretical thought.

























Trystan: but should you ever be in the situation where you want to be serious about this... you have my respect.

Jimmy: haha, thanks Trys! And what about you? How's uni?

Trystan: oh it's fun! Lots of cool subjects, I really love it! It's my thing... I can focus on what I love to learn and do, no distractions!

Jimmy: good to hear *smiles*

























Gareth: ... and what's so interesting in your phone, Lo?

Lowri: uh, what?

























Amelia: yes, you've been looking at your phone quite a lot!

Gareth: come on cousin, tell us, who's texting you?

Lowri: what? Nobody is texting me... everybody I know is at this party!

Amelia: well, not everybody.... *smiles* is it... him?

Lowri: him who?

Gareth: oooh, there's a him!! 

























Lowri: what... what are you talking about you two, there's no him! I'm just checking... uh.... the weather forecasts... 

Amelia: yeah, sure... it might snow tonight...

Lowri: yeah...

Amelia: *laughs*

























Juliet: umph, why am I always the one who has to clean up after everybody else! Why can't these new generations clean after themselves... so gross....

























Arni: good evening everybody! Aaah I see I've arrived right on time for the dance floor!

Amy: hey dad, nice to see you!

























Arwyn: An, look, your dad is here!

Aneira: aww so sweet that he came! 

Arwyn: I don't think he has registered us though...

Aneira: he's probably looking for my mum, he promised her to take her to the dance floor...

























Arni: has anybody seen my wife? My, when did the family get so big? 

June: and that's my cue! Time for this old lady to go on the dance floor! Are you joining, Chloe?

























Chloe: nah, I'd rather watch from here. But thanks, grandma... you go enjoy yourself!

June: I sure will! Arni, darling, over here!

Arni: there you are, my love!

























June: finally... I've been waiting all day for this!

Arni: I came as soon as I could... you look wonderful, my dear...

























Chloe: aaah so sweet... even my heart is touched... so much everlasting love in this family... so beautiful... although a bit overwhelming... like, what if you're the black sheep and can't find this type of love?

























Chloe: it's not as easy for some though *sighs* so a girl must do what she can... 

























Chloe: and with all this love around me, maybe I'll get lucky tonight...

























Lowri: .... and where is she going now?

























Lowri: I know she's up to something... I just know it....

























Juliet: Benjamin come back here! There are still dishes to clean!

Benjamin: let me eat first! Umph she can be so annoying sometimes...

Shameka: oh poor Benjamin, let him have his dinner first, he's been dreaming about it for days!

Juliet: fine, but I'm so not clearing up after him!

























Lowri: hey great-gran Shameka...

Shameka: hey Lowri, where are you going? The party is the other way!

Lowri: ah... yeah I know... just want to talk to Chloe one second...

























Shameka: oh, you better speed up then! She seems set on a mission that one...

Lowri: I know... enjoy the party!

Shameka: thanks love, I will! I just wonder where my Sebastian is...

























Lowri: Chloe?

























Lowri: Chloe? Ah.....

























Lowri: .... 

























Lowri: uhm... guys?

Adrienne: oh my goodness! Lowri! Why did you sneak up on us, you gave us a heart attack! 

Luke: "us"? *smiles*

























Lowri: sorry... uh.... didn't want to interrupt but.... have you seen Chloe?

Luke: no, sorry... what's going on?

























Lowri: I saw her leaving... looked like she was set on a mission... and now I can't find her....

Adrienne: she probably snuck out to do whatever it is she does when she sneaks out like that... it's Chloe, that's what she does...

Lowri: you don't understand, she might be in danger...

Luke: no worries Lo, she'll be fine... she knows what she's doing...

Lowri: not this time she does not!

























Adrienne: well, she is defitely not here... but we'll tell her you're looking for her if we see her, okay?

Lowri: not helping...

Luke: sorry Lo... not sure there's anything we can do....

























Lowri: nevermind, go back to your smooching, or whatever you were doing.... I'll find her myself!

Adrienne: she was not very nice to us, was she?

























Luke: she did have a good suggestion though *winks*

























Adrienne: ah---

























Adrienne: Luke!

Luke: I'm tired of going in circles Ade... you can't deny what's between us... will you be my girlfriend?

























Arni: aaah, what a wonderful party, June! I'm so happy we ghosts could join... what an honour...

June: it was very kind of Aneira and Arwyn to go along with Juliet's idea and organise the wedding here indeed...

Arni: your mother does love a good old Love party doesn't she!

June: luckily we don't have all the drama that we used to have in the old days... once a vampire cousin turned into ashes at a party... that was traumatic....

Arni: yeah... I'm so glad that this is a vampire-free party then! No drama, everything is smooth and peaceful and everybody is happy!

























Lowri: .... come on, be home...

























Arthur: Lowri? 

Lowri: hi...

























Arthur: what are you doing here in the middle of the night? Are you okay?

Lowri: I'm sorry... have you seen Chloe? I can't find her...
