Oh no! It's worse then I thought. The first
three days worth of pictures disappearing, these update will start on day 3 of the France vacation, so instead of parts one and two, there will be only one part. Also, this special chapter will mainly focus on Billi, and her quest for youth. Enjoy!
Chapter 20-
Champs Les Sims, Here We Come!DAY FOUR
After spending the first two days of their holiday getting aquatinted with the beautiful village of Chaps Les Sims, and generally avoiding each other, the Tunics were ready to
really start the vacation of a lifetime. Billi quickly found an adventure to busy herself with, while her children basically did what they usually did at home. But here, in the remote French countryside, they started to connect.
Billi, while exploring a tome (Looking for a lost baseball, I believe.), stuck her hand in a rather unfortunate place.
(Also, can you see the eye peering at Billi, to the left, and above the chain? Creepy!)
Esther enjoyed wandering around the beautiful countryside, and visiting some of the landmarks, although she didn't travel underground. Esther was, in fact, slightly disappointed. She was hoping to spend some quality time with her mother, maybe in the kitchen, cooking and laughing together. But as soon as the got to the lodge the family was staying at, Billi took off, like her family wasn't even there.
Esther sighed, and thought wistfully of her father. He wouldn't of taken off like that. Esther shook her head of the saddening thought, and continued picking grapes.
Frank was relived. Something in the way his mother said things like-
"The girls are very pretty in France, so they say," Or,
"Do you think French girls like redheads? They probably do, bit of a rarity,"Made Frank embarrassed and worried at the same time. However, Billi, it appeared, had forgotten she had a family at all.
Frank- She could turn up at any minute, though. Like, with a pretty, young, French, girl on her arm....
In fact, Billi had completly forgotten about Frank's complete lack of lady. She was having far to much fun. Digging up rocks, eating dried food, finding treasure-
Billi- Ohh, shiny!
DAY FIVE
After finding the lost baseball, returning, and having a quick nap, Billi returned to the lodge briefly, just to find a new adventure to undertake. She hadn't felt this yound since her wedding day.
Billi's next task was to make some high quality nectar. It was all going well until....
SLIP! SQUOSH! SLOOMP!
Billi- I am so pro.
According to the French paparazzi, this is a very worthy story. They chased her all over France!
The paparazzi are also after Frank. He's a three star like his mother, so he gets hounded pretty regularly.
Esther and Frank aren't usually very close. Esther thinks her brother is weird, and a little nerdy, and Frank thinks his sister is just like all teenage girls. But at the moment, neither is very happy with Billi, so soon they begin talking.
Esther- Frank, you know, I really think Sammy is
the one.Frank's eyes widened, but he remained calm.
Frank- Really, so soon? How do you know?
Esther- I just do. Mum's going to have to just deal with it. So, why are you so reluctant to find a girl? It means a lot to Mum that you do.
Frank took a deep breath. He did need to tell somebody, and Esther was perfect. He let it all out, in one breath. Esther smiled sensing her brother's relief. She wasn't that shocked.
Billi spends the morning talking to the store holders, and the faces around the market.
Frank also chats to the French Special Merchant, although he seems less then impressed by Frank's dance moves.
Poor Billi. She does however get to Vista Level 2, and here the vacation ends.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for all the nice comments
And I am, very, very, very, very sorry for half my pictures disappearing. But Billi didn't do much in those first 3 days, anyway.
