Round 1 - Gina's Birthday
"Come on, you stupid pancakes...I have a party to throw in half an hour!" Nancy yelled at her cheap stove as she stomped her feet in frustration. Today was Gina's birthday, and the last party they would throw in Green Valley for a very long time. Everything had to be perfect.
"COOK, FRAMMIT!" She sighed as she took the pancakes off the stove and threw them in the trash. They weren't cooking, and it was cutting too close into the little time she had left to change.
Later, the guests arrived; both invited and...well...uninvited.
"What are you doing here, you hussy?!"
"Grandma Yeli, it's me...Marta!"
"I know damn well who you are, and you're not wanted here! You will not ruin this precious little girl's birthday!"
And of course, family rifts weren't the only disasters happening that day.
"Alright, everything's set up! Can you go get the guests? Youssef? Um, hell-ooooo?!"
"F...f...fire..."
"What on Earth are you- OHMAHGAWD FIRE!!!"
"Did someone say FIRE? This is so cool, man!!"
"Huff...huff...huff..."
"Ew, Michale. You farted, dude!"
"OHMYGAWD WAIT IT'S A REAL FIRE?!"
"Youssef...why aren't you helping?!" Michale asked breathlessly.
"The fire...it killed each and every one of them. My family burned in the dancing flames of death."
"Each and every one of them...and only I survived..."
"Dude, Youssef, snap out of it and help me extinguish this!"
"Oh, right. Sorry. I was just working on my memoir."
By the time the firefighters arrived (at the wrong house, no less), the fire was already extinguished. Thankfully, the Miguel-Nagis escaped a fine.
And as expected, Gina grew up into a gorgeous little girl!
But of course, the day was bittersweet. What marked the beginning of Gina's life proved to be the end of life as they knew it, in the peaceful outskirts of Plum City.

Oh geez, that was a close call with the fire! Youssef going off in a daze with an idea for his memoir, lol!
ReplyDeleteGina is very cute! I imagine she will grow up to be a striking young lady! ;)
Great ending... '..in the peaceful outskirts of Plum City.' Peaceful, yep so peaceful. lol ;)
Hi Jen! :D Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been spending most of my time setting up Storybrook and forum-ing. :P
ReplyDeleteYoussef is an oddball, most certainly. I just hope that when the next fire starts, he won't be so distracted!
