Art: Oh! Right, got it!
Bwaaahaaaa... Paolo! I hardly recognize you!Paolo: Lol, thanks! I think!
Candy: (Astronaut): Thanks for dressing up and getting into the spirit of the party Max. I'm proud of you.
Max: It's actually kinda fun once I realized everyone else was going to be dressed up to!
Max Villareal:(Grim) Don't even start on me watcher!
I wasn't! I wasn't even, I was just listening to Candy's story!Max Villareal: Wow, you kids rockin' the moves there!
Max: Thanks!
Jade: Sorry I forgot my costume Brian.
Brian: No worries you can just wear my kiss instead.
Oh puke! That was the worst pick up line I've ever heard! Yuk. Jade: I liked it!
O kaaay then!Yuki: So how've you been Zesty? We haven't seen your everyday outfit yet!
Zesty: I know, right. I'm not quite sure if I like it or not to be honest! Apart from that good, you know. Work keeps me busy. How 'bout you?
Yuki: Yeah same, so much to do in the lab. To be honest, I often have to bring work home.
Zesty: Ouch!
Yuki: lol, yeah, I know. All work and no play!
Brian: Hey watcher?
Hmm?Brian: You might want to go see what Max is up to, he snuck off somewhere a few minutes ago.
Oh? Ok... on it, thanks.Gosh! I've been looking everywhere for you!Max: Just doing my homework watcher.
Well. Good for you Max!Thanks for dropping everything and making some drinks.Candy: It's fine. Why didn't you get one of us to level up in mixology before the party though?
I thought we'd get away without having to do that goal... guess not.Candy: *shrug* K, well, it's no big deal. Might have to think about somewhere for the bar to actually go long term as it doesn't really fit here.
Will do.Candy: This is getting ridiculous. How many more 'little goals' watcher?
Well this should be the last one.Candy: The tea brewer just broke.
Arghhh... Wait, it's ok, the goal completed anyway! Whew!Alessandro: I'm heading out now. You coming?
I'll just help finish up the tidying etc then meet you there.Alessandro: Right.
'
Grats on the gold parties.Alessandro: Thanks, just wish the "other thing" was finished up too.
Me too Alex, me too.Dee: I don't think those last two math sums are correct hun. What do you think watcher?
Oh.. errr... I'm not that good at math...Maybe use a calculator?Ty: My teacher said that's cheating.
Right, well don't do that then.Ty: It's ok mum, I'll ask Mrs Fincher tomorrow. Story time?
Right, everything is looking under control here. I'm going to check in with Alessandro...Cripes! Just in time I think!Alex: When I say do it, I expect it done.
Alex: Last warning.
Alex: Anyone else feel like breaking the rules?
Nope...all good... nu huh.. no.
Wolfgang: You keep squirting the lighter fluid everywhere and I'll get it torched...
Max: This better work, I don't want to get a beating...
Wolfgang: Keep squirting.
