The Snozzberries (Not So Berry Legacy) 10.4: The Chamber of Horrors SundayRyo: It’s been a wonderful honeymoon, Dark Angel
Dorothea: It has – a total other-worldly experience.
Ryo: And you don’t mind that we stayed in bed all morning?
Dorothea (laughing): What do you think? Besides, it’s been raining.
Ryo: Yes – it’s nice and warm for Winter but they did warn us about the rain.
Dorothea: I’ve just gone into my 3rd trimester.
Ryo: We’d better get home. We don’t want to risk you giving birth here.
Ryo: Here we are – our new home.
Dorothea: Oh, Newcrest...
Ryo: Yes, darling. It’s a new development.
Dorothea: Is it my imagination or are all the houses the same?
Ryo: They are. One contractor has built the whole lot.
Ryo: I saw the development advertised online and it’s a bargain price that we can afford. What do you think?
Dorothea: It’s great, Ryo, just great.
Ryo: Really? I know it’s not what we planned but it was advertised as being good for someone who likes blue.
Ryo: Don’t worry, Angel. When I signed us up I got them to adjust the colours of ours to darker shades. It’s not perfect yet but I thought you’d want some input on it.
Dorothea: Oh Ryo, I don’t deserve you!
Ryo: You deserve the moon and all the stars. One day we’ll have your dream home.
Katrina: Hi there! I’m just moving in next door and I saw your removal van just finishing up.
Ryo: Nice to meet you.
Dorothea: We’re just back from our honeymoon.
Katrina: Congratulations. And I see you’ve been busy on your honeymoon.
Ryo: Why yes we have!!!
Dorothea: Don’t mind us – we’re still all flirty from, well, lots of stuff.
Katrina: How far along are you?
Dorothea: Um, I don’t recall saying you could touch my belly…
Katrina: Oh don’t mind me, just being friendly.
Dorothea: Actually I need to get back to the bathroom….I’ll see you around. (goes into own house)
Katrina: Now, young man! I need some help in the bedroom.
Ryo: Oh ho! Are you planning to feel my belly too?
Katrina (batting eyes): Maybe later!
Ryo: You’re flirting with me, young lady!
Katrina: And you’re flirting right back!
Ryo: Dorothea? Are you decent? There’s a guy in a pink cap at the door.
Dorothea: What? Who? Oh no! I’m not in the mood for visitors. Send him away.
Roald: I’m so sorry I missed the wedding, Ryo. I had the perfect outfit lined up…
Ryo: Another dress?
Roald: Not this time but still – the traffic was terrible and I couldn’t get through. Still, congratulations. Dorothea looks radiant! I hope you’re not the sort to cheat on her! Ha ha! Like I don’t know you’re the loyal type!
Ryo (to self): Maybe he’s heard something…it was only a jokey comment but maybe Katrina thinks it’s more. I feel terrible for cheating on Dorothea. What a way to start our new life together.
Watcher: Yua? What’s that thought bubble?
Yua: I feel a bit….where’s the bathroom?
Ryo: And this is where I nearly got singed.
George: OK
Ryo: And this is where we swam.
George: Right
Ryo: And this is….
George: Sorry, Ryo, Yua is giving me the nod. You know, the one spouses give you when it’s time to be getting away. I’ll look at your photos another time…
Dorothea: Mum? You’ve only just left.
Yua: I started feeling nauseous so I took a test when I got home. I’m pregnant!
Dorothea: Wow – that’s – great?
Yua: Yes, it is. We’re so pleased.
Dorothea: So am I, Mum. So am I.
MondayVendor: Here you go!
Dorothea: Oh – this dish is interesting…what’s that extra flavour I can taste?
Vendor: Marmite.
Dorothea: Ah – that explains it.
Vendor: And you’ll give me a good review.
Dorothea: Read it in tomorrow’s edition. Actually…maybe not! Ow!
Dorothea: I’ve been waiting here ages! My husband’s in some seedy comedy club doing an act and not reachable. I’m not in a good mood and this baby’s coming whether you get a doctor here or not!
Receptionist: I’m going to have to wake up Dr Elderberry. He’s retired really….
Dorothea: ANYONE!!!!!
Dorothea: Doctor?
Dr Elderberry: Um…don’t distract me, young lady. This new-fangled robot has got all it’s buttons in the wrong place.
Dorothea: Just get it working!
Dr E: Oh dear, the two arms have got jammed together!
Dorothea: HELP! Somebody get me out of this thing!
Dr E: There. That’s the arms un-jammed. Right! The manual says….this menu…that lever…and Voila!
Dorothea: h…e….l…p….m…e………
Dr E: Don’t panic. I’ll just switch it off and back on again.
Dorothea: I…..can….see….a….light….
Dr E: Don’t walk towards it. Oh dear! Oh dear!
Dorothea: I nearly died giving birth to you, Layla. And your brother Ozul. I’m too tired to even look at him never mind look after you both properly. The ambulance is taking us home. I just hope your Papa’s there so I can go to bed.
Ryo: Hello, little Ozul. What dark skin you’ve got. I know Dorothea’s grandfather and his mother were dark. You must be our little throw-back. Mind you, I was adopted so who knows what my parents looked like. Anyway, I’ve got care for both of you tonight. Your Mama is recovering from that traumatic birth. I really should have been there but they couldn’t get the message to me back-stage at the club.

NotesI’d love to give credit for the Picket Fence Home For Two but I downloaded them for Newcrest a while back when planning this episode and when I went back to the gallery I couldn’t find them. Sorry.
Ryo & Dorothea were so loved-up and flirty when they got back but all Ryo didn’t was one flirty comment to the elderly neighbour. Being Loyal, he was tortured about it for hours. Ironic, eh?
Layla means "darkness" in Arabic and Ozul means "shadow" in Hebrew
I thought I’d be winding up Gen 10 in this challenge fairly swiftly but the Snozzberries seem determined to hold onto the limelight. We’ve only got to Monday night in week 45. Tuesday onwards coming soon and eventually a family tree that will reveal all!
