Twin Beech High School in Newcrest

-- Fitness Day

Eden can barely tear herself away from her phone..until she had no choice.

The Gym Teacher yells.  “Do 30 laps around the pool...get going!”

She must’ve impressed her teacher somehow.

......she’s FINALLY an A STUDENT!!  

Brooklyn walks into the studio with the ladies.

Brook:  This is Seth, the Owner. These are my best friends, Tehya and Tina.

Tina:  Oh you’re the one that’s gonna keep us from looking like weeble-wobbles, right?  Nice to meet ya.

Tehya:  Hi Seth, so how we gonna do this?

Brook: Tehya, you’re the veteran of this Mommy Club.  *to Seth*  This is her 2nd child.  I thought it would be nice to honor her somehow.

Seth:  Aah, well I think we can figure this out.  I must tell you...you ladies look absolutely radiant and gorgeous.  This is gonna be really special.  

He walks over to them and starts directing them into a very sweet pose. 

Tehya, is it?  Why don’t you stand here?  Brooklyn and...Tina, right?  You guys stand here.

BEAUTIFUL! Stay there, don’t move.  And all 3 of you, now..bow your heads down and close your eyes.  Yes.    *Seth walks behind his camera and takes several photos*  ...This is it, right here.  *camera clicks*

Oh Don, Give It Up.....

Brooklyn:  Hello?

She hears Don’s voice saying he wants to go grab dinner...

*click*

---------Next Day----------------

Brooklyn:  Hello?  

*listens and hears Don say he can’t get her out of his mind and she snaps.*  

You didn’t get the clue yesterday, huh.  Leave me alone, Don. You had your chance and lied. You never told me you were married!  

Now, I’m married, and I’m telling you.  Stop calling me or I will call the police and let our boss know, and everyone at work, that you are harassing me.  

*click*

Gameplay Note:  A reminder if you didn’t know...Brook, Leland, and Don all work at the same job as Secret Agents. She met Don 1st when she had just moved into town, in Newcrest, and they went out on a couple dates. However, she was super surprised when she found out through a friend that he was married!

Brook and the girls get to the upstairs boutique and love the intimate feel of the place.

Brook:  Alrightie, here we are...just look around girls and pick one outfit you really like and try it on. We’ll see how it fits.

Everly goes straight to the kids’ section and finds more than one she likes!

Eve:  Mom, I like the colors of this one, can I try on another one, please pleeeaase?

Brooklyn gasped as her breath got choked up in her throat. She couldn’t believe Everly just called her Mom!  

Eve didn’t realize she’d said it until she heard the word echo inside her own head.  She quickly glanced at Eden and Eden was beyond thrilled, she had already grabbed Brook’s arm for a squeeze.

With a lump in her throat, Brook responded joyfully: For that wonderful A you brought home - okay...pick out one more!

Eve went into the small dressing room and felt a tremendous amount of guilt.  She never wants to forget her mother, and as the years passed since her death, it’s getting harder to remember everything about her.  And in that tiny moment, she felt like she had completely forgotten her.  But just as fast as that thought came, it went away.  Eden has said to her many times that her Mom and Grandma are both angels now, and they sent Brooklyn here to watch after them.

Everly shows them her 2nd favorite outfit, with a confidence she’s never felt before!  She feels like she’s got a Mom and a Dad now.

As Brook wiped away her watery eyes, she and Eden both agreed:  You look like a big girl, Eve!  

Eden:  I give you a hard time, but you know I love you right?

Everly: Of course you do, I’m the little princess.

Eden: How long are you going to say that, ‘til you’re 20? *laughs*

How about a sandwich?

Everly:  Sounds good to me. You don’t have cooties anymore.

Eden: That was a long time ago, Eve! Shut up. And I didn’t have cooties, I had a rash.

Everly:  ...same thing.

And back to bickering they go.  

The new principal this year is Ayaan Raghavan.  And the way everyone is falling in line and not talking much, and paying attention to the teacher, it looks like he’s running a much tighter ship than the previous administration.  Eden again thinks about Marchon’s father, Sabien.  She is sure that he and his administration had plenty to do with these changes.  She’s liking it so far.

The kids study Creative Arts today with the ‘passionate-about-arts’ teacher, Anaya Ghandhi.

Eden playfully whispers:  Stop cheating, Marchon!

Marchon:  I’m not! I’m just making sure you spell it right!  Everybody knows you can’t spell. 

They giggle.

Once her work was done, Brook left to go get her nails done.  She had an appointment set for the early am...the sun’s not even up yet!  

She doesn’t play around with indecision.  Brook knows exactly what she needs.

Leland takes a load of stress off by playing a console game.
