So y'all still dancing huh?

Brody: Yep, it's so much fun. Better meditating all the time.







Tony: It is so good to be home and back in normal clothes.



What's on the list for today?

Tony: Not sure, but I think the folks can stop dancing now.



Colt: Hot tub time..

Zoey: I call shot gun.

Gia: Is that possible in a hot tub?



Gia: Come on in son, the water is great.

Colt: It sure is. Smell good too.



Tony: Please make sure I can get in guys, or I'll drown someone.



Wow everyone in the hottub at one time. Cool



Gia: So how's everyone doing?

Colt: Akward



Zoey: Think this is enough family time. At least in the same tub.



Gia: So how was the date?

Tony: I guess it was fine. I mean nothing really happened.



Gia: Did you kiss her?

Tony: Mom, please. TMI

Gia: Come let's get dried off and changed and walk out front. I want to talk to you.

Tony: Whatever.



Gia: Son, I just want you to be happy. I know you haven't really met anyone special.

Tony: Mom, stop it.



Gia: No you stop it. I'm your mother. I was the same way at your age. I didn't want to get involved.



Tony: Mom, you don't have to tell me this.

Gia: Hush, yes I do. I knew I wanted to have a child. But a relationship? Not on your life. Then one day I realized that your father was my soulmate. He held my heart since we where kids.



Gia: I just want you to be happy. If it's alone or with someone special. It's your decision. I will stand by you.



Tony: Thanks mom, I'm just not that into love right now. Right now I'm enjoying life. I mean, I don't even know who I am yet really.

Gia: That's fair.



Tony: I love you mom, your the best.

Gia: No your the best.



Colt: So how's Tony doing?

Gia: He's still confused on he's life but he is focused on his goals and the dynasty.



Colt: That's good. He just seems so distance.

Gia: He will be fine pops. don't worry.

[sdhoey]

*stretches*

Something is off. The watcher is MIA. I have requirements to do.



Well, guess I'll have to do it on my own till she shows up again. *hops on treadmill*



*looses footing*

Dang it. I almost faceplanted. Not a good way to start off.



Have to keep this gorgeous face looking good.



Well enough of this. Need to lift some weights. Make these muscles look gooood.



This can be boring without her mouth. Nice but boring.



*grunts*

Dang, I need to push harder. Come on Tony..



Almost, *moans* Almost



*relaxes*

Wow, I need to lift weights more often. No wonder I lose a lot of my fights.



*looks in mirror*

hmm, maybe we need a family vacation for a few days. I do need some fish from Granite FAlls to complete my mounted fish collection. And I think it would make her happy to see that I finished something while she was gone.



Voice on phone: Willow Creek Travel, how may I help you?

This is Tony Brooks, I'd like to book a family vacation for the Brooks to Granite Falls. Leaving tonight.



Voice on phone: How many nights?

Maybe 5, I might change my mind in a few days. I'll let you guys know then.

Voice on phone: Everything is set. The Car with be there soon. Enjoy your time.

Thanks I hope we will.



Kale: I never thought I would be back here again.

Zoey: This is a nice place. Thanks Tony.



Gia: Come on Zoey, Lets go chat some.

Rory, Brody: Fishing time.



Gia: So how long do you think we will be here before pops starts complaining about the bugs or they start arguing about who caught the biggest fish?

Zoey: I say about 5 minutes



Colt: Well I hope someone thought to bring insect repellent. I hate these bugs.

Rory: I always have some on me pops don't worry.



Colt: Ahh, this is more like it. I like to keep all my blood inside my own body. Those little boogers are nasty little things.





Skye: Yummy, roasted marshmallows out in woods. The best, *calls* Come on Gia and join me. You too Zoey..



Gia: Look at you, hitting the good stuff already. Good thinking.




Tony: So, who's caught what so far?

Rory: I got a 5lb walleye

Brody: More like 2, mine was 8

Kale: Please he caught a bunch of seaweed.



Skye: You want to join us dad?

Colt: No honey. I'm playing horseshoes right now. I'll be there later.




Gia: HOT HOT HOT

Skye: What was your first clue? *snickers*



Gia: Oh my, you could have gotten me some water.

Skye: Why? I was having to much fun watching.

[ratchie]

Look at Tony trying to complete dynasty tasks without being told. Who is a good future immortal yes he yes he is.

Rachel

[sdhoey]

Look at Tony trying to complete dynasty tasks without being told. Who is a good future immortal yes he yes he is.

Rachel

HAHAHAHAHA!!! That is so good.

Rachel you are so bad.. I love it. Thanks for making me laugh. I need it.

[Ricalynn]

Haha.  A family vacation was obviously a good idea!   And by my reckoning it didn't take 5 minutes at all!

I agree with Rachel though.  Tony is so cute when he misses you!

[sdhoey]

Zoey: But you don't understand. My family is crazy. My son and grandsons are so full of themselves and my grandfather is worse.

Bear: Oh I understand. My pop is mad that I don't want to scare people and rummage garbage. It's just not me.




Zoey: Oh gross. No you don't need to be rummaging garbage. You arecertainly better then that. I have an idea.



Bear: What are you doing?



Zoey: I love to stargaze at night. Why don't you join me?



Bear: She's kidding right? I'm not laying in the dirt. Not getting my fur dirty.



Kale: Oh look, I caught a fish.

Tony: Nice Granddad. But my red crawdad is better.



Rory: Hey look what I got.  I thinks it's a yellow perch.



Tony: Oh man this one's huge..



Tony: Great it's just a box with a cowplant.



Rory: I got another yellow perch it's a big one.



Skye: This is nice. All the clouds are cute.

Gia: They sure are. Are you having fun pops?

Colt: Oh yeah. The time of my life.



Colt: So what's the real reason we are here Tony?

Tony: Pops, have you heard for the watcher?



Colt: That's why you brought us here? Your worried about her?

Tony: Look, it's not like her to just disappear. Not when I'm this close.



Tony: I need her to help me. I'm at a point in my life that I need her.

Gia: Tony, she will be back soon. I'm sure.

Rory: She has done this before. Everything will be fine.



Tony: *yelling* I CAN'T TAKE IT!!! I need my watcher.

*crickets*



Kale: I vote we have a weenie Roast.

Rory: Sounds good to me.

Tony: I give up.



Zoey: I'll start the fire.

Kale: I'll go get the dogs.



Tony: Come on everyone, join in, lets make the most of this vacation.

Colt: That fire will keep those pesky bugs away so I'm in.



Colt: Remember when we can out here with the Twins?

Rory: Please don't remind me.



Kale: OH you mean the ghost out in the woods.

Colt: I thought Rory was going to run all the way back to Willow Creek that night.



Rory: Keep it up ole man, I remember you running too. She took some life out of you too.



Tony: Sounds like I missed something good back then.

Kale: Oh yeah. Pops conjured up a ghost.

*laughter*



Ranger: Well, it's nice to the Brooks Family again.

Colt: Even Ranger. How's the wife?

Ranger: Oh she's fine. She sends her love and best to the family.



Zoey: Oh no, my stick is on fire. *blow*

Gia: Rory, help your mother.



Colt: I think it's time to head in and get ready to head home soon. Tony has all his fish he needs.

Skye: I agree dad, family getaways for all of us are not a good idea.

[Nettlejuice]

Aw, Tony missing his Watcher. I loved the family outing. How can they still enjoy fishing after all this time?

[Magpie2012]

So sorry to hear that RL is not so great at the moment :-( y'all are in my thoughts! It's never nice to see the little ones all confused and stressed.

I love how Tony is missing his Watcher!

[Joria]

So sorry to hear about the family troubles.   You and they are in my prayers.

[sdhoey]

Sooo, I'm working on my photos and names etc. Getting ready to put some updates together and try to get into the groove again.

[sdhoey]

*sighs* It's good to be home. No more bugs, grouchy old people. Just me and my computer.



Oh I have a new email. But I don't recognize that email addy.



*Reads email* So, I know we haven't met, but that will soon be remedied. For now you just need to know that I am here to help you. But don't let the Bone Fide man find out.

How can you help me? I am the one and only dang paterfamilias!! I am Bona fide!



Lets see, WHOA!! She's, well different but she is beautiful!! That black hair, and those eyes. WOW!!



*writes email back*

I don't know what you can teach me. I am the dang paterfamilias. I'm bona fide!! If your talking about my pops, please, he's so old that I think when he mediates, he has conversations with Crowely. the King of Hades himself. But anywho, I think I can teach you some other things. I mean you look like you need a good firm hand to teach you a thing or two, and I am just your man. If this sounds good to you, let me know.

*send*



What are you doing? I have been gone taking care of my family because we do have grim here also, but not like you guys do. Plus I've also had to deal with men, storms, selling two cars and upgrading my computer.

Tony: Whoa, how long have you been back?



Long enough!! You are up to no good aren't you?

Tony: NO NO!! She emailed me first.

Who?

Tony: I don't know. She didn't give me her name.

Well  You have friends to get to good friends and making them stick. So go get changed and lets get this started so we can get this done.

Tony: Bossy, but I'm glad your back.

[sdhoey]

Tatum: Hey Tony, what's up?

Tony: Hey Tat, I thought we could go for a swim.




Tatum: So how's was Granite Falls?

Tony: Have you ever wanted to drown your whole family?



Tatum: *laughs* That bad huh?

Tony: They argue and complain about EVERY little thing.




Tony: So enough obout me. What's going on in the Schell family?



Tatum: Nothing much, Lee has been a pain this week. I think he's in love.

Tony: Poor sap. Love stinks.



Tatum: Why do you say that Tony? You haven't someone you love/

Tony: Huh, NO! It nearly killed my mom when my dad died. And I see the way my pops looks at his Reds picture. No way. I don't want to go thru that.



Tatum: It's a part of life and love Ton. It's what makes us stronger.



Tony: Well you can live and love for us both when you settle down okay?



Tony: For me, I'm footloose and fancy free. No chains to bind me, no nagging.



Tatum: That's so sad. You remind me of that Lothario guy that I also hear about that lived in Oasis Springs yrs ago. He had commiment issues.

Tony: You talking about Don Lothario? He used to live with the Calientie Sisters?



Tatum: Yes that's him, you've heard of him?



Tony: Sorta. He's my like something great grandfather, was married to my grandma Skye and Red, I mean Katrina is pops wife. So I guess in a way I am like him.



Tatum: Well I know you do not have any commiment issues Tony. So get out there and live a little, Date.



Tatum: How about we do some cloudgazing?

Tony: Cool.



Tony: Why is this always so relaxing?

Tatum: Something about laying in the ground I think.



Tony: Look, that one looks like Ole man Jenkins from school, you remember him? The Janitor.

Tatum: *chuckles* Oh Tony. Your so bad.



Tatum: Thanks for a great afternoon, remember, live a little my friend.

Tony: Thanks Tat, tell Lee to come up I'll be here for awhile.
