Umm, Zheena? Who's watching Vendrea?Zheena: I hired a sitter.
That's a gnome in a rabbit costume.Zheena: Close enough. Besides, I have other things to worry about, like my worthless husband. I thought fairies were supposed to live for a long time.
Grim: I am the mighty Grim, lord of death! (whispering) Alfonso, is she looking at me? Do you think she's impressed?
Alfonso: You want to impress her, try cleaning this place up a bit.
Grim: Oh, here, let me tidy this up for you.
Zheena: Hmm, I think we may need to have this handsome gentleman over more often.
Grim: Score!
Zheena: So, Pippin, since Alfie is a ghost, he doesn't count against our total for the household, right?
Right.Zheena: He can just stay ghost for a while then.
Alfonso: But honey...
Zheena: Quiet down, or I'll call in Jhinx version 2.0
Alfonso: (sigh)
Zheena: Now, I still haven't finished off that travel cluster. Think I'll invite my friend Remy to visit.
Zheena: Hey there.
Remy: Bonjour.
Zheena: And check France off the list.
Zheena was not the only one moving forward. The children were moving on as well. It came to be time for young Vendrea to age up.The ghost of Alfonso brought her to the cake, which has to be fairly traumatizing to the poor child. Being aged up, she has finally become the equal of her twin older siblings.Udarea: Why aren't you wearing pants?
Vendrea: Stop trying to distract me, I'm thinking.
Baby?Zheena: Yep. Having another baby.
Oh. That's good, but what I meant was, do you notice what's happening with the baby?Zheena: Okay, you need to walk, talk, and potty so I can age you up immediately. Understand?
Werrden: ...
Zheena: Ugh. Fine, I'll teach you then.
Vendrea: Hey! I thought we were all going to be the same age!
Nexi: We were. Now we're not.
Zheena: Wow, I make beautiful babies. And in fact, I'm making another.
The teens each found their own niche as Udarea began to master the violin,Nexi took over Steyonce's old alchemy station,and Theena started recruiting a sidekick.Theena: ...and spandex. You get to wear spandex!
Chrissy: Isn't it supposed to be all about saving the world and stuff?
Theena: Oh. Yeah. That too.
And of course, since the girls are teens, they got to go to prom. However, they all went in their everyday wear rather than formal wear. That makes this next bit all the more disturbing. Theena was voted prom queen, but was saddened when someone wore the same outfit she wore. She dresses as Catwoman. Who else goes to prom as Catwoman?
Anyway, the U twins proved to be the "unruly" twins. Someone looked at Nexi funny, so she got into a fight. She then got turned down for a dance, so she danced alone the rest of the night.
Udarea's dream guy showed up with a date, therefore, it was no surprise when she was checking out "someone else's date" later and got into a fight.
It's a pretty odd night when Theena's the well-behaved young lady. Incidentally, she was also the only one who came away form the prom with a romantic interest: Bret Wise-Atkins.Vendrea: See, Udarea? I can wear pants!
Udarea: That's a skirt, not pants.
Vendrea: I...dang it!
But even as disappointment was happening for Vendy, happy things were happening for Werrden.Zheena: I'm so exhausted.
Werrden: And this is what we call "fashion."
Udarea: And those are what you call "pants."
Venrea: Jerk!
And after Werrden vacated the role of baby, a new boy arrived to fill that role...while Zheena's very caring children fish, snorkel, and fiddle around.Zheena: I will call this one Xibrato.
Well, Alfonso gets to father baby number 26, who gets the honor of fathering baby 25?Zheena: I have someone special in mind...
