Playful Park, where young lovers often come to enjoy each other's company and to discuss those things that only young lovers would think of.Angie: So, you called Cara to come here and see your sister with Cara's boyfriend?
Tipton: Yes. Why? Is that a bad thing?
Angie: Depends on how you feel about breakups.
Tipton: As long as it's not our breakup, I feel fine with it.
Angie: Hmm, I suppose that's sweet?
Pippin: And look, here comes Cara.
Cara: You horrendous cheater!! I never want to see you again!
Heriberto: Wait, Cara? Sorry, it just...I mean...oh, well, I guess it's just you and me now, Ari.
Arienne: The name's
Arienne, and I need a man with an actual spine. Call me if you find one.
Pippin: And we jump over to the Dolan house where wonderful relationship things are shaping up.
Norman: I can't believe you're dating that loser Lucien! He's absolutely worthless!
Lucien: Hurtful! I'm standing right here, you know?
Though, "worthless" would be an erroneous descriptor for young Lucien. He had taken it upon himself to get a part-time job to contribute to the family funds and improve their financial worth.
Pippin: Are you stealing that lamp?
Lucien: What? This lamp? It simply fell into my backpack. No idea where it came from, so I guess we can't return it. Suppose I'll just have to sell it. Quite a shame, really.
Pippin: Well, looks like someone got a certain trait starting with a "K."
Lucien: Yep. Kat-lover. That's me. Just adore those fuzzy little kritters.
Pippin: (Sigh) At least Tipton goes to bed at a decent time so he'll be rested for school. Arienne was also up late, but not because of..."kats." Rather, she had a visitor.
Pippin: Looks like young Todd was enjoying Spooky Day just a bit too much. No way anyone could fall for a gangly teen dressed as a cowplant, right?
Pippin: Oh...
Arienne: You don't look nearly as homely and pathetic as I though you might.
Todd: And you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
Arienne: Yes. I certainly am. Can't help but notice you're wearing red shoes.
Todd: And is red your favorite color?
Arienne: No, it's just a running joke my Watcher enjoys.
Pippin: Hey, that's funny stuff!
Though it was not "funny stuff" that fueled the conversation that Chysm was having with her dragon confidant.
Chysm: So, with Tipton being a genius, the kids easily figured out that we're part of a legacy, so they've grown up with that knowledge. There's just one other detail that they
don't know, and it concerns me a bit.
Ben: The part about needing to move in with the spouse? I think co-habitation is fairly common...
Chysm: No, not that. It's about the lifetime wishes. I think they're already starting to settle on what they want to pick, but what they don't know...
Chysm: is that the wishes will be randomly determined for them. They won't have that choice. How do I break that to them, Ben?
Ben: Well, honesty is the best policy, so the only logical approach is to avoid the discussion completely and go on a family vacation.
Chysm: You're a genius, Ben! We'll leave tomorrow.
Patches: Hey there, handsome.
Tipton: You know that you don't technically exist, but are actually just a projection of my own psyche, correct?
Patches: Well, if I'm a "projection of your psyche," and I find you dreamy, wouldn't that mean you have some serious ego problems?
Tipton: Hmmm, you may be on to something there.
Pippin: And while Tipton wrestles with his own self-affection, Chysm, ever the affectionate sister, goes to check in on Berucca who has given birth to her first child.
Chysm: Umm, I see lots of cats, but where's Baby Ariceli?
Berucca: Keep looking. She's there somewhere.
Pippin: Being part of this crazy family can definitely have its social drawbacks.
Felisha: I hear your sister is extremely evil and that your grandpa is the
emperor of evil.
Lucien: What? Of course not! Who's spreading this nonsense?
Felisa: But, isn't that your grandpa right there with the evil red glow?
Lucien: Golly jeepers, look at the time, we'd better both get home. Curfew laws, you know.
And thus, we finally come to the day of the departure for some family vacation time and for the avoidance of sharing unpleasant realities.Pippin: Well, before they depart, Arienne decided to act upon a wish to kiss Heriberto again, so she invited him over.
Pippin: And the foolish boy decided to snub our precious little princess. She is, of course, a fragile and delicate young lady.
Pippin: And so, with Chysm playing appropriate fight scene music, our dainty wilting violet let that young man know the error of his ways.
Tipton: I heard a young man was being offensive to you, so I came to defend your honor.
Arienne: I already took care of it. Appreciate the thought, though.
Chysm: Well, if you're finished handing out abuse, I guess we'll book those flights.
Chysm: Okay, everyone get in the cab!
Lucien: Umm, where am I supposed to ride? All the seats are filled.
Tipton: I have an idea! How about we put you in the trunk with the bags and then I can just bring you as my carry-on luggage. We'll save a bundle on the ticket.
Pippin: I don't think that's how carry-on luggage works...
at any rate, here is some bonus footage: a close-up of each of our potential heirs and the list of their traits.
Lucian, the firstborn child, is easily impressed, loves the outdoors, is a natural cook, and a Kat person...I mean, kleptomaniac.
Tipton, his absolutely non-identical twin, is a genius, eccentric, a natural-born performer, and he is artistic.
And the baby of the group is Arienne who is evil, eccentric, neurotic, and clumsy.
The lifetime wishes will be announced after their return from vacation and the voting will begin at that time.
