Abbica Rae was still Zheena's favorite daughter for several reasons: she had been the only one of her children to really question why she was unlike either parent, she was the daughter of Akoni, she had kept Zheena's affairs a secret and had even been helpful with them, and she had left behind a helpful gift for her mother.
In fact, Djavon was making use of that gift right now.
And that is how Fluffs became a real boy. This happened four days before he and Djavon were going to become young adults. Plenty of time for Zheena to befriend him.
"I'll teach you to dance so you'll be ready for prom," she offered.
"But I'll miss prom...I mean, thank you. Yes please," said the awkward young fellow.
Shortly after this, Zheena and Alfonso took a brief adult vacation and left the kids under the watchful eye of the teens.
Yep, teen party time!
Everly and Fabala invited their girlfriend over.
The pizzasaurus deemed them worthy to partake of her feast.
And Everly broke her right wrist and dislocated her left shoulder. Now that's a party!
Of course, Alfonso came home quickly after that and reprimanded Djavon.
"I know I taught you better than that," Alfonso began, "there was no dancing, you didn't flirt with anyone, and you didn't even hit people up for money! That is
not how we throw a party!"
"Sorry, dad," Djavon replied. He was grounded for five minutes until Zheena came in and let him off the hook.
The pizzasaurus from the party didn't get grounded, she simply got older.
Galilaia is going with an abstractly oriental clothing theme.
Zheena is very fond of Galilaia,
but Zheena's still not sure what to think of Harvel.
Speaking of Zheena, she's gotten chummy with Sterling Peralta. Peralta as in Alexa Peralta.
Alexa Peralta, girlfriend of two of Zheena's daughters.
Yep, things are getting even more twisted.
With the household continually growing, this addition was made to the property.
Due to an accident in counting squares, the balcony is completely useless as it's covered in foliage. Ah well. The additional space gives Everly and Galilaia their own space.
For Everly, it's simply a place to hang out. For Galilaia, it's her science laboratory.
And in completely non-scientific news, Zheena got a dusty old lamp and was disappointed to discover the genie was not male.
However, Zheena's making the best of it and simply wishing for fortune.
You need plenty of money when you have so many children growing up so quickly.
Fun, fun age-up hair glitch for little Ishaveen. No worries, the hair settled back down onto her head later that same day.
Speaking of aging up, Fluffs got his birthday cake the morning of his birthday,
right before the rest of the household went to school, to work, or got put in a crib for naptime.
Time to start thinking of "J" names...
