"A new beginning... A new place... This house is
as empty as my heart, for I am all alone."
Lisa cleared her throat. "I'm right here you
know." That's right. Lisa and Kenneth moved in together in a
beautiful new house. After Kenneth's mother Allison had sold the
house, she gave them enough money to get the house of their dreams,
keeping some for herself and Nick of course. Don't worry I'm sure she
gave Emma something too...
"That drama filled self pity doesn't suit you.
Why not write something happy like a kids book?" Kenneth
scoffed. "I do not write for children." "Whatever, I'm
going to go work on my musical skills..."
Lisa soon came back in to the living room. "You
know what? I think I'm going to go play in the park for tips. Want to
come?" "Surrounded by people I don't know while they look
over my shoulder at my work? I'll pass..." Lisa rolled her eyes.
"Oh come on. It wont be that bad. Some fresh air will do you
good. Pleeeaaase Kenny? Come keep me company..." Kenneth
scrunched up his face. "It's Kenneth! And fine, I'll come with
you..."
While Kenneth wrote in his notebook, Lisa began to
play the guitar for tips in the park.
After awhile of playing, Lisa finally got her first
tip. Kenneth recognized him. He was that stupid fairy that hit on his
mom at his dad's funeral! While he wanted to deck him one, Kenneth
said nothing and continued his work until it was time to go home.
The next day was a bundle of mixed emotions. Lisa and
Kenneth were happy to graduate and finally get their diplomas.
But unfortunately that night a burglar came to the
house.
Thankfully the house had an alarm and while nothing
was stolen...
The police were a little slow and stupid. The thief
passed right by the officer and hoped in to a taxi. Literally. He apparently was a taxi driver. I will never trust a taxi driver again.
Despite the horrible event, Lisa convinced Kenneth to
hold a house party and invite over his family.
This would be a good time to show of their new house.
In the center is their inspiration room where they do all their artsy
things. The room is surrounded by a garden sandwiched between the two
parts of the house. The rest is fairly simple and there's even a
nursery just in case Kenneth finds that special someone.
Kenneth ordered some pizza that was delivered just as
his family was arriving.
"So then he just left and the cop didn't even
bat an eye. She just apologized and said they couldn't catch him."
"Whoa... I wonder if the burglar was an old co-worker of
dad's..."
Meanwhile, Lisa took the time to talk with Allison
outside. "So how are you doing? Are you getting a long okay?"
Allison nodded. "I'm just fine dear... Emma was a little fussy
about not getting her own fancy place. I had to remind her that it
was her idea to 'make it on her own'. Though I did give her a little
gift to make up for it."
"But I want to know how you two are doing.
You're still getting along, right?" Lisa smiled. "Of course
we are. Kenneth's been working on some drama book in between painting
and sculpting. He's all over the place, it's a wonder he gets
anything done." She laughed. "I've been working on my music
and playing for tips to make a little extra money." Allison
beamed at her. "I'm glad you two are doing well... Shall we go
inside?"
Inside Kenneth was enjoying his pizza. He looks
incredibly happy about it, doesn't he?
Afterward, he joined his siblings in the living room
to play some video games. "So you're going to be an artist huh?"
"You bet, Nick." "Haha! Eat my dust! Vroom! We should
have totally gotten one of these as kids!" Emma joyfully ignored
the boy's conversation.
Later Allison decided to join them. "Mom, you're
going the wrong way." "How the heck do you move this
thing..."
While Kenneth taught Allison how video games worked,
Lisa jammed with Nick...
While Emma decided to try out the drums in the other
room. "I so want some of these!"
The party was a hit and after everyone left, Kenneth
went to work on his current sculpture.
He was overjoyed at his... table... Yeah, you're
selling that.
The next day he decided to try his hand at painting
Lisa while she played the piano. It did not come out well.
"Maybe I should try sculpting her instead..."
While Kenneth was failing at painting Lisa properly,
she was out at the park. She decided that she wanted to start a band.
So she went up to the first girl she saw and asked if she wanted to
start a band with her.
While the question was a bit weird and sudden, she
said yes anyway. Lisa's first band mate was Christie Beaty.
I love the way the house is layed out :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It took me forever with that thing, especially the roof. That thing was a nightmare! But I'm happy with the result.
