So with the night with Mortimer, Juli and the rest of the family out of the way.. Artie called over a friend to handle a whim now that another one had popped up that we couldn't really ignore...
Artie - Mariana.. I'm so glad you came by, dear.
Mariana - I've been waiting for your call!
Artie - Yeah.. about that.
Artie - See. There's something you need to know about me. I'm a dynasty founder and there are certain expectations, you know?
Mariana - So?
Artie - And.. well. I want to be the one who glows and having someone in the house that glows is kind of weird if it's not me.
Mariana - I don't understand.
Artie - What I'm trying to say is it's not me.. it's you.
Mariana - Oh my watcher.. you're breaking up with me. *starts bawling*
Artie - Now now. Just calm yourself down please. There is no reason for this to be a big deal.
Mariana - You were my last chance!
Artie - Yes well I found someone else who is more perfect for the job and is more likely to understand what I need.
Mariana - I hate you.
Artie - Not the first or the last sweetheart.
Artie - Well this is kind of awkward. So uh.. how's your day?
Mariana - All of my dreams were just crushed by a big red jerk.
Addy - That happens a lot around here.
Artie - Well.. I hope you find something to make you happy.. you know?
Mariana - I'm calling my cousin and letting him know that you really enjoy being probed.
Artie - Did you just threaten me?
Mariana - Yeah I heard about you running with your tail between your legs from Sixam.
Artie - *puts on his angry face* Your mother is a space llama and if you don't get off my lawn, I will show you what to do with that probe!
Mariana - *gasp*
Of course this wasn't the only heart Artie had to break..
Artie - Cassandra.. there is no way we can be a couple.
Cassie - *starts crying embarrassed*
Artie - I made too many promises to people that being with you would violate. You're a sweet girl and beautiful and truly exceptional but I .. just can't.
Cassie - You're just saying that.
Artie - No I'm not. If it wasn't for some other things, this would have been done the moment you had your birthday. No matter what your father said but things are different and there's someone else.
Artie - *begs* Please please forgive me I wasn't trying to lead you on. I can't help how awesim I am.
Cassie - I can't believe you!
Artie - I still want to be friends!
Cassie - You're despicable...
Artie - Aww.. stop it.
Cassie - *tries to not laugh and stomps away*
Addy - That's going to make things difficult.
Artie - I think it went well actually.
Addy - You could have explained better.
Artie - No.. I couldn't.
Addy - Really think this will work?
Artie - No.. but too late to stop now. Just watch her..
Addy - Sure.. because that would be a new thing for me.
Artie - Shush woman.
Suddenly finding herself with a broken heart.. Cass decided to see how Artie liked what he was serving..
Cassie - Hi Robin, I'm glad you came over.
Robin (Jacket) - No problem... It's been a long time though.
Roderick - Hi.. I'm here to see Alex.
Cassie - Oh well.. Hi. I'm Cassie, Alex's big sister.
Roderick - You sure you're not his little sister, you look younger than he does.
Cassie - It's the ears.. Well c'mon in guys, I was just about to watch a movie.
Cassie - Whoops. Sorry Lucas.. didn't mean to sit on your lap.
Lucas - Just means I won the seat first.
Cassie - I'll get up.
Lucas - You don't have to..
Artie - I heard what you said... and I want you to know I happen to know an alien that has a thing for probing.
Lucas - *jerks as he drops the weights suddenly* Uhh. I don't know what you mean.
Artie - You know.. or I'll make sure you know..
Lucas - You know. Fairly certain you lost the right to say anything when you said no. Sorry red man.
Artie - Oh.. so that's what's going on. She's in mourning you idiot. Her Dad and a family friend just died. And yes I turned her down but there's a reason for that right upstairs.
Oh.. and what's upstairs you might ask?
Meet the new Melody Holder... The bright pink and bright yellow were killing my eyes so they had to go!
Addy - And how are you adjusting to the house?
Melody - I'm not sure anyone really understands I'm not just visiting.
Addy - Yeah he's kind of bad at sharing.
Melody - Where is he?
Addy - Work.. Tonight's the night he gets the big promotion. You just keep working on your work stuff.
Artie - So... how's it going?
Melody - You haven't told anyone I moved in yet have you?
Artie - I thought you would.
Melody - Artie...
Artie - Melody...
Melody - You know I agreed to this, you could at least put in a little effort.
Artie - You wanted this as much as I did and part of that is introducing yourself. I can't let you join Dynasty House until you've introduced yourself to everyone.
Melody - Fine...
Artie - And then we'll do that other thing..
Melody - You should have gone into Business..
Artie - I just might somewhere near Generation 3.. you never know.
Melody - So um... Hi I'm Melody Holder.. and I'm your new roommate!
Alex - Wait.. what?
Cassie - Excuse me?
Melody - I'm your new roommate? Artie asked me to move in and marry him and I said yes.
Alex - Umm.. that's nice. Welcome?
Cassie - So you're the one.
Melody - Yep. That's me. So.. um.. yeah. I'm going to go get a grilled cheese myself. Nice to meet you!
Bella - You're up to something.
Artie - Yep I'm working out.
Bella - The purple girl..
Artie - What about her?
Bella - You're getting married?
Artie - She's the one I want to marry. That's all you need to know.
Bella - What happens next is all your fault...
Artie - It will work out, Bells.
Bella - Don't call me Bells.. and it better. That's my baby girl you crushed.
Artie - I just can't wrap my head around it, Mortimer. I keep my promises, I don't make any new ones I'm not prepared to keep. I steer clear of causing both of us heart ache and I'm the bad guy here. You need to visit and get your women under control. It's so crazy in this house with hormones, I swear I'm seeing stars.
Addy - You are. In fact, I think you need to go get some meds from the bathroom to take care of whatever it is you have. Go.
Artie - Will that take care of the rest?
Addy - Nope.. just the stars.
Artie - You should work on getting meds that handle the rest..
Addy - Actually it's only going to get worse..
Artie - You have no idea..
