Yep, you guessed it! Another family picture to close with, showing the family up to this update! Hope you enjoyed! The next one will include a brief look at Ice and Lola Singles' house, then get back to the Legaseas, where a member is added to the family! (In what way I'm not saying yet!) :-) Posted by Picasa

And the day has come. A day that Strangetown will never forget. Cadet is now an ultimate force of evil, a Criminal Mastermind! (And damn, he looks GOOD in that costume!) Posted by Picasa

"I-I-I-I-I-I-I ha-ha-ha-had a-a-a-a-a gr-gr-gr-gr-eat par-par-par-par-ty-ty-ty-ty!!!!!" Posted by Picasa

Chandler tries to figure out the design on Indigo's dress. At least that is what he jokes that he is doing. Indigo thinks he's so sweet and wishes she had told him her real age (he still doesn't know; he was just busy with work for awhile). She hates lying to him, even if it's just a lie of ommision. And she doesn't want to tell him now, since she's afraid he won't want to have anything to do with a 16 year old. "Well, I'm almost 17," she tells herself, "And Chandler is only 19, so it doesn't really matter." And Jan chows down on some salad. :-)  Posted by Picasa

Shane had another big party. People love his parties as much as they do Chloe Singles! Actually a little more, since he has a much bigger house! And who do we see at the right there? Yes, Chandler has agreed to come to this party, too! And he seems to once again be having a blast with Indigo! "Have you heard about the ladybugs and the bees?" Posted by Picasa

One of Shane's good friends is a headmaster and he was there one day when Sage came running in with her A+ report card yet again. Too bad she can't get into private school based on that! :-) Posted by Picasa

I just had to include this because they are all so color-coordinated! That always amuses me! (And yes, I am easily amused, ha.) Posted by Picasa

A little while later, Shane inexplicably shows up in the back yard, his needs nearly all at their lowest! He hops in the Energizer and then the next thing he does is some dishes, to try to feel normal again. Grey and Cyan are at a loss to explain what happened, why Shane didn't get dropped off in a showy display like the other abductions, but Grey realizes eventually that the aliens must be changing their tactics, to avoid capture. They are very tricky, that way! (He did just show up in the yard that way. Is he pregnant with an alien baby? Wait and see!) Posted by Picasa

And the abduction turns into another deck party! The other boys go home to deal with what they saw, so Sage gives River Smith some attention, with pleasure. Posted by Picasa

Luckily for the girls, Wisteria comes up and calms the boys down, explaining what has happened the best she could. They had always HEARD about things like that happening, but it was quite another thing to actually SEE it happening! Posted by Picasa

Cadet is thinking, "Why not me? I don't want to let my uncles down!" And the girls are mostly concerned that their potential boyfriends, Edward Fuchs and David Gibson saw it! Indigo hasn't heard from Chandler in a while, so she figures he must know her real age somehow, darn it! So she's moving on with Edward, and Sage is working on getting a first kiss out of David. Posted by Picasa

And once again, a single moon. I guess that throws the double moon theory out the window. :-) Posted by Picasa

While Ice was flipping up into the air, Shane was being pulled up into the sky. "Here I go agaaaaaiiiinnnnnn!!!!!!!" Posted by Picasa

While I had the game paused, I happened to notice Ice up there showing off his Olympic diving skills. Not bad for an elder! Posted by Picasa

Cadet maximizes the mechanical skill so he can get the last bit of knowledge he needs to become a Criminal Mastermind! Posted by Picasa

She can also fantasize about the day her Prince will come, well preferably Princes, plural. Posted by Picasa

. . . or where she can think about nothing at all, and just get away from all of the constant money grabbing and knowledge seeking going on in the house! Posted by Picasa

Sage has taken to watching the clouds in her spare time, where she can think about her put away toys of childhood, like her teddy bear . . .  Posted by Picasa

Aww, guy eating time is always even more special when Ice is over. It feels like old times. Posted by Picasa

"Hey, doing grade school homework is EASY when you're a high school teen!" Posted by Picasa

"Um, Grey, you're a little late for the party," Indigo tells him as she finishes a late night snack of a piece of cake. Those mad scientist types can be a bit . . . eccentric, especially when they've had as much Elixir as Grey has had over the years! Posted by Picasa

When Sage comes upstairs after the party is over, Indigo fills her in on what happened with Chandler, which makes something that seemed like a dream more real. Sage tells Indigo that she's lucky she saw him first! What they don't realize is that Wisteria had come up to say goodnight to the girls and accidentally overheard the conversation. Posted by Picasa

Indigo and Chandler talk about everything, from what she's studying at school (he assumed she goes to junior college) to his job and how much cops make (of course Indigo had to know THAT.) Before they know it, Chandler looks at his watch and it is midnight! "Wow, I have NEVER lost track of time like that! You're something special, Indigo," Chandler says, then turns red and leaves. Posted by Picasa

Chandler is mortified, but Indigo sets him at ease. "Oh that's just a picture of my mom when she was pregnant with me. She'd think it was funny, probably, if you hit it, and just make Uncle Grey paint another one of her, one where she says she looks less chunky with baby fat!" Chandler is surprised to actually find himself becoming comfortable with this Indigo girl. "Wow, your mom must have had you when she was 15, since you're about 20 like me, right? And I'm Chandler." "Um, something like that. Nice to meet you, Chandler" Indigo says, not wanting him to know she's only 16! "I told your dad that I'd have a snowball's chance in you know where of having a good time, since I'm so shy at parties, but I'm finding myself enjoying this one!" Posted by Picasa

However, Indigo made it upstairs first! "Hel-lo?" she thinks to herself. "Who's this hunky guy in the family room?" Indigo is impressed. He's definitely an improvement over those little high school boys, that's for sure! And he has a job already! She walks up just as Chandler is about to throw a dart. "Hey, I'm Indigo. Wanna play for money?" Chandler glances over and the dart he's throwing nearly ends up in the portrait of Wisteria to the side of the dartboard! Posted by Picasa
