Rica: In celebration of the twins thinking about getting jobs, the gnomes have a party in the backyard. I'm not sure why though.
Rica: Alex's first day on the job and Angelica comes to give it a look.
Alex: "So what do you think Mr. Clavell?"
Xander: "I love the shorts. They're exactly what I asked for. "
Angelica: "Raving reviews from your first client."
Alex: "Gelly - what are you doing here?"
Angelica: "Coming to watch you work."
Angelica: "Do you like working?"
Alex: "i really do. I like meeting new people and making them feel better about themselves."
Angelica: "Maybe it's time I did the same."
Alex: "You want to become a stylist?"
Angelica: "No silly. I mean go get my foot in the door at Doo Peas. Today is Friday so I would have all weekend to get my first deathfish and a couple more perfects. What do you think?
Alex: "I think it sounds like a plan."
Angelica: "Thanks for listening, Lexi"
Alex: "That's what i'm here for Gelly."
Rica: Back at the house we finally got a dragon topiary. "Michael.. Can you make me another one please?"
Michael: "Ok but why?"
Rica: "Two Deathwings are better than one! "
Michael: "Sometimes you're hard to understand."
Rica: "I feel that way about you guys sometimes too. I want them for the front door."
Michael: "Oh ok. I'm doing it now."
Angelica: "Hello, I'm here for a job in the business division."
Receptionist: -looks her over- "Why?"
Angelica: "I want to rule this roost."
Receptionist: "I see. Well fill out this application while I check with human resources for availability."
A few moments later..
Angelica: -hands over completed application- "Was the job of CEO available?"
Receptionist: "No.. but you can start as the coffee courier. I'm sure a spunky little thing like you will be able to promote very quickly. Here is your ID badge."
Angelica: -glaring- "Fine. Who's underling am I?"
Receptionist: -unphased- "Mr. Thornton Wolff."
Angelica: -suddenly happy- "Ahh.. thank you. See you on Monday."
Receptionist: -suddenly uneasy- "See you then."
Rica: Little Shelly Wolff.. you're so cute. Why oh why did you have to be a vampire?
Angelica: "Rica I did it!"
Rica: "Did what?"
Angelica: "I caught a deathfish!"
Rica: "Awesome possum. Not perfect though."
Angelica: "I know but it's my first one."
Rica: "I'm proud, Angel, and I'm sure your parents will be too."
Rica: Alex actually got two promotions on his first two days of work at the salon. This was his first child makeover. She wanted a new swimsuit and I think it turned out great.
Rica: "What you reading, Alex?"
Alex: "The recipe for fruit parfait."
Rica: "That's not very stylist-like."
Alex: "I know but it's still my dream to learn every recipe like Mom has. "
Rica: "Why didn't you join the culinary field then?"
Alex: "I don't know. I guess I always wanted to be a stylist too. Plus if we have no customers I can still read up on recipes."
Rica: "As long as you're happy."
Artie keeps surprising me, for an evil ex-Grim Emperor of Evil he can be quite compassionate now and then (often when prodded - hard - by Rica). But still, compassionate none the less. I wasn't sure he had that in him until now!
Sometimes I wonder if his compassion was part of whatever Geoffrey Landgraab did to him. It's hard to tell.
Thank you to everyone who is on my side of the caveman suit issue. I think we finally got it thru Artie's thick skull, hehe.
