@FrancescaFiori You know, when I was playing them out, I was actually afraid that I'd rushed them getting together, since I'd planned from the start that Bella would have a daughter for the gen 2 spouse. But writing it out like this, I've realized they spent quite a bit of time not figuring themselves out, lol! So indeed, together at last! I tried to make Aurora a bit three dimensional in that regard--she's very calm and collected about getting work done, keeping the legacy wheels greased and rolling, but when it comes to love and such she has no idea what she's doing.
@Shewolf13 Aww, yay, you think they're cute! I love them, too. And yeah, someone had to tell Niall what's what!
@PeregrineTook Niall is now fully aware of what a doofus he is, and very grateful that Aurora loves him not despite of that, but because of it, ehehe. Who else could? She's perfect for him.
Chapter 14: Master Plan Marches On
Niall: Still cooking. No rest for the wicked on this one, but at least it’s skilling fast. But I am facing an
immortality of cooking food for the rest of the family! How horrifying.
Aislin: Birds. Birds are cool. Let’s see if we can get some birds around here.
Niall: Top secret plan is in motion! Muahahaha. I may be cooking all the time, but I’ve still got some time to spare for this.
Aislin: Whew! This sauna was a very good choice—good suggestion, Bella.
Bella: Well, I figured, we’ve all worked so hard to get where we are, we deserve to relax now.
Diego: I couldn’t agree more.
Aislin: What is this?
Diego: It’s a skeleton playing drums.
Aislin: And this is entertainment?
Diego: Beats me, you’re the one who bought the giant television.
Aislin: -sigh- We just have so much money, I don’t know what to spend it on…
Niall: Top secret plan continues in motion!
Vendor: I’m sorry, what?
Niall: Nothing, nothing, just sell me some fruit.
Aislin: All right! We’re going to try living without rallying the troops for a bit. This is nice, isn’t it? Sitting down to a family dinner.
Niall: The butler’s a little unnerving.
Shanaya: My apologies, sir. I will endeavor to be less noticeable.
Niall: I don’t know that that helps.
Niall: Oh man, is this what sleeping in a bed feels like? This is heaven!
Diego: I am not hysterical. I am calming down. Everything is all right. No hysteria here. Aislin would never forgive me if I was hysterical, I cannot possibly do that to her.
Niall: Hey, gorgeous! You’re looking particularly amazing today. Not that you don’t every day, but…
Aurora: Hehe, I understand the sentiment. Thank you. -blush-
Niall: C’mere, beautiful, I want to show you something.
Aurora: What?
Aurora: Oh! Oh, goodness, you can do that whenever you want!
Niall: My pleasure.
Niall: -hums- Mhm, kissing the most beautiful girl on the planet, getting good grades, master plan is moving along swimmingly, no one suspects a thing, everything is golden.
Raj: I think we’ve been forgotten about.
J: You’re telling me. I’m supposed to be pollinating!
Akira: I don’t know, I’m rather happy fishing. I’d rather not lead several women on…
J: You’re no fun.
Raj: I’m going to catch so many angelfish that the game lags, just to show them.
Aislin: We didn’t get boring, did we? I’m not even immortal yet. We can’t get boring already.
Diego: Are you panicking about being boring? Cher, do not worry, you could never be boring.
Aislin: You have to say that, you married me!
Diego: I think if I can smack sense into my own son, I could probably tell you if we were boring, and help you correct it. I love you dearly, ma coeur, trust me when I say you aren’t boring.
Aislin: Oh. Oh, okay. I love you, too.
Diego: Ah, I will never tire of hearing those words from your lips.
Niall: Talking to plants, raising my gardening skill, I got this. It’s all good. Sup plant? How you doin?
Niall: I’m awesome. Gotta take a selfie in the top secret master plan room. Too bad I can’t share it with anyone!
Niall: Breaking it down while gardening! No one’s got skills like me.
Niall: Hey, pretty lady. You’re making some sweet music today. I could listen to you play all day long.
Aurora: -blush- You’re distracting me!
Niall: I’ll leave you to it, then. By the way, I adore you.
Aurora: Oh!
Niall: Now this is not very interesting. Stupid mom with her stupid unofficial requirement to the immortal goals. Have to be able to teleport. I’ll get this. On top of all my requirements, and my master plan, and making sure Aurora loves me forever and ever, I can do this, too.
Diego: Playing foosball in my swimsuit. Now, what could be the point of that? Surely someone isn’t just showing me off.
Niall: Maybe bowling is not my thing.
Aislin: I just wanted to let you know how happy I am that everything’s worked out between you and Niall! I always hoped you would be my daughter-in-law, and now that’s going to be a reality. It’s just so perfect.
Aurora: Oh, thank you, Mrs. Doran. I’m beyond happy, too, heh!
Aislin: Really, you don’t have to keep calling me Mrs. Doran. We’re family!
Aurora: I really wouldn’t know what else to call you…
Aislin: Aislin is just fine by me.
Aurora: That’s so informal!
Aislin: So am I, dear, so am I.
