CHAPTER TWENTY-TWOBeatrix: Hello, everyone. It's me, Beatrix Royale. Loon is in Algebra 2 right now, so she is letting me take over writing for a little while.
Technically I'm still writing, since you live in my head, but okay. Don't scare them off, Beatrix, and pray that my brain doesn't dribble out of my ears from my incredible stupidity when it comes to math.
Beatrix: I'll take care of them, don't worry. I'm very
nurturing, you know. Okay, now on with the story!
%%%%%%%
Loon didn't just build Tatiana's new bedroom. She also added a large bathroom that will be able to be accessed from a future bedroom, and look! She gave us a washer and a dryer!
Though they're very expensive. *whimpers*
With the two new rooms added on, along with the new third floor (oh, the bills are going to be so high now...), the outside of the house looks different than before.
Here is the back of the house:
And the front, as well:
Now, unlike Loon, I can't oversee what everyone in the household is doing at the same time, but thankfully, she gave me a written record of everything that happened that was of importance to mention. Of course, since I'm writing, she can't stop me from adding my own opinions on
everything I want. I need to persuade her to let me write more often.
Victoria: Mom, just because you can doesn't mean you should. Loon is sill in control and if you make her mad she just might make yo even more miserable.
...oh, right, what was I thinking...?
Tatiana met a boy named Brent Figueroa at school today. She certainly does know quite a few young men that would look rather handsome when cleaned up a bit. It's a pity that most of them are either paper boys or babysitters, but Victoria married a paper boy, and look how happy she is!
Her mood swing was still in full affect while she was at school, and at the end of the day, instead of coming home, she went back inside. I wonder what she was up to?
Loon: *whisper**whisper*
...SHE WHAT?!
I'm sorry, I lost myself for a minute there. Apparently, my granddaughter decided to release thousands of frogs into the principal's office. I don't know whether to be angry at her or impressed that she didn't get caught...
Anyway, upon coming home, she started to text this new boy she met, Brent. She tells me that he works as a babysitter. There are practically no children here in Riverview, so I wonder how he even manages to make money!
Since it was a Friday night, I was off at work, but Loon's notes say that Brent came over to visit shortly after I left for work.
Tatiana: He's pretty cute
and he's
Family-Oriented, so I started to put my charms on him.
Tatiana: Needless to say, it worked. We're going steady and we're going to prom together!
My little granddaughter is growing up so fast. It feels like it was only yesterday that I was helping to teach her how to walk...
Tatiana: Nanna! Stop it! Is Loon out of math class yet?
Christopher decided that the bathtub was much more comfortable than the couch or the chairs downstairs and read some of his student's college essays in the bathroom. I should get Loon to put more armchairs around the house...
Tatiana: The next morning I decided to prank Nanna by booby trapping her computer. Heh heh heh, hope she has fun "couponing"...
WHAT THE FRESH HECK IS WRONG WITH MY COMPUTER?!?!
Tatiana: SUCCESS! Anyway, while that was going down, I went to go finish a wall mural that I had started at the Warehouse. I got caught in the middle of it originally, so I had to lay low for a day or two. But now it's getting done! I want to paint three of them.
Tatiana: Of course, I almost got caught when I started a second mural, so I went and hid at the consignment shop for a little while. I ended up calling Brent at one point so that nobody would get suspicious of my loitering, and we started talking about what our plans for the future are. Marriage, having a family, getting good careers, stuff like that. I'm very
excitable, so the whole conversation was very, well, exciting! I'm so excited to plan my future wedding. I want one just like Nanna had when she married grandpa Billy. Maybe she'll even let me wear her dress!
Tatiana came home from lord knows where and immediately started digging through the fridge to get some leftover fruit parfait before she got ready for prom. Her absolute favorite thing on this planet is fruit parfait, so I'm always making it to keep the fridge stocked. It's pretty much all she ever eats!
I'm not quite sure if I approve of her prom attire, though...
Tatiana: LOON! CAN YOU PLEASE TAKE OVER WRITING AGAIN?!
Tatiana: Finally, the limo arrived, but something went wrong. For some reason, Brent was at my house, but he also...wasn't, I think? I got in the limo, and he stayed on the front porch like a statue. The limo wouldn't move either, and I was getting impatient. I have prom shenanegins to pull, dang it!
Victoria told me that she peeked out the window upon hearing Tatiana's motorcycle roar, and saw her take off down the street for prom instead of riding in the limo. Bent disappeared, but Tatiana's prom pictures show that he was indeed there at the school. It was certainly a weird situation. I don't think even I ever saw something like that happen, and my entire home life as a child was extraordinarily strange...
Tatiana: Now the party don't start 'til I walk in...
Loon: Okay, you can give me the chapter back.
Alright, thank you for letting me write a bit. It was quite fun.
Victoria: Don't ever do it again.
Loon: No promises.
Amber: Is she starting to treat you guys badly, too?
Loon: AMBER! SHOO! BEFORE I CALL THE ALIENS!
%%%%%%
Oh, it's good to have control again...
After prom, I added a small coffee table to Tatiana's museum room for her prom picture and her crown. Oh, she didn't mention that she was chosen as prom queen? Just like her mother!
Victoria: I'm so proud of my girl!
Lets hope it becomes a family tradition!
And yes, I was working on this in math class. I have nothing to lose.
