Week 6 – Departures and ArrivalsThe first departure was that of Ainsley Andrews. Francisco went to meet her at the junkyard and give her one of his paintings. He had no inkling that that was the last time he would see her.
As soon as he returned home, he received word that she had died.
On a happier note, Fizz had a birthday. He is now a young adult, a neurotic, workaholic angler and hopeless romantic who loves the outdoors.
The first thing he did was to put together a new wardrobe.
The second thing was to sign up as a test subject at Dr. Terrible’s Science Building, and the third was to attempt a foray into the field of romance – or the community garden.
The kiss went so well that Fizz decided to propose.
And the proposal went well enough that Fizz and Dana decided to get married.
Dana is a natural cook with a green thumb, brave and disciplined and inappropriate. She stopped at the consignment store to get her hair bobbed.
She also put a wardrobe together.
Fizz and Dana then went to China. Fizz wanted to do some fishing.
He caught some koi for the Scholar’s Garden.
Dana decided to learn martial arts. When she got her second belt, she chose a sparring name for herself – Flapper Fist.
Probably this isn’t the best name for someone who’s trying to break boards.
And they found time for other activities, too.
After they heard chimes, Dana expressed her emotions with a school cheer (she got her degree in Communications back when she was in grade school).
When they returned home, Fizz went to his first day of work as a test subject. He participated in a study of the effect of strange hats on employee morale.
That night he went fishing for a new kind of creature, and the next day Janet made her first batch of ambrosia.
While she was cooking, there was another arrival at the Cottoneye household.
Her name is Chanel. She’s disciplined like her mother and neurotic like her father and grandfather.
