Chapter 32
Goodbye
So Coral bids farewell to her loving family.
Maddy: Look after yourself, ok?
Coral: Of course I will.
Maddy: *whispers* At least Snuf won’t have to look after my new nooboo.
Nooboo?!
Maddy: You heard?
Nooboo?!Maddy: Yes. I’ll explain. I met up with Connor as a ghost. I took a Ghost Potion but it wore off before we could do anything.
I’m still confused how you ended up with a nooboo.
Maddy: Just because I wasn’t a ghost didn’t mean that we couldn’t... you know.
I know (I don’t, I really don’t...)
Maddy: Then Connor disappeared and I was on my own. The next day I started to throw up and after being pregnant five times I could recognize the signs straight away.
Duh!
Maddy: Not long after that I got the confirmation.
Are you sure you’ll cope?
Maddy: If there was a trait called ‘Master Mother’, I’d have it. And think about it, I’ve got Azure the Doctor and Kathy to look after me. And the boys will be good, won’t you?
Twins: Uh huh *both grin mischievously*
Coral: I’ll miss you, Azure.
Azure: *not on whiteboard* So will I.
Oh. My. God. Azure, did you just speak?
Azure: And your problem is?
I thought you couldn’t speak.
Azure: I’ve been able to speak even before I was born. I just always chose not to.
Ok...
Coral: *looks back at house* You know, Snuf, I’m really going to miss this place. I mean, I’ve grow up here, with all my brothers and sisters and Mum and Dad and little Kathy.
I know, Coral. It must be really hard.
Coral: Can’t I stay?
Sorry. If this were the Immortal Dynasty then you’d have to live there for centuries.
Coral: I don’t think I could live there for hundreds of years. I think I’d lose it.
Becky: I think I’ve lost it already and I’m only a teen.
Becky, you shouldn’t be invading this story! A lot of the Readers don’t even know who you are!
Becky: Fine, I’ll just scuttle back into my
Immortal Dynasty. You shouldn’t be making links either. It makes me look desperate.
Becky: You are.
Coral: Who are you? Why are you taking over my story? It’s supposed to be about me!
Everyone just shut up! I’m getting confused!
Coral: You’re typing it up.
But you’re taking over. It’s scary.
