Tallen: We're going to name her Cora.
Ellis: Coral? Why the hell would you name her that?
Tallen: I said Cora. It's pretty hipster.
Marlowe: This book said that most musicians start practicing at young ages. Funny, because children aren't allowed to use musical equipment.
Your book must be confused...*shifty eyes*
Later that evening, Jem was invited to her brother Tallen's house party. It's hard to tell but Envy is pregnant too.
Back at home, the ghosts are out on the haunt.
Lavinia: Oh no, no. I'm just here for the...event.
What event?
Lavinia: Check the entry.
Ellis: Oh shit no. I died while wearing my towel. I knew I should have gotten dressed. Now I'll be wearing a towel for all of eternity.
Ramona: Grandpa! Don't go! You were the only one who understood me!
Marlowe: And I was your favorite! sobsob
Grim: Don't worry, we have cloaks in the underworld.
Ellis: Sweet! I've always wanted to wear a cloak!
Marlowe: Daddy! What do we do?
Spider: I don't know!! Ramona, you're calm. What do we do?
Ramona: I don't know. I just miss Grandpa.
This is the creepiest woman ever. She's part of the paparazzi but she just walks into our house.
Paparazzi: I was um looking for my cheeseburger...yeah.
They both drown within minutes of each other. All because they had a "hold your breath" contest and they were just so dedicated.
The girls were forced to take over the house. Which meant that they had to raise themselves and Jonesy.
In fact, they'd started up a band called "Radioactive Love" and asked their friends Valentine and Jamar if they'd like to join them.
Jonesy wasn't close with his sisters but he'd watch them every time they practiced in the basement. They were still just an unknown garage band but they were determined to get some gigs eventually.
Valentine was still learning to play guitar but they all agreed that his voice was good enough that they could excuse it while he learned.
Ramona: Ya know, I think you should let me give you a make-over. Bands are more than just music, we've gotta have the look.
Marlowe: Well I guess it doesn't hurt to try.
Jonesy: Wth, Marlowe? You look so stupid. Don't let Ramona ever help you again.
Marlowe: Well I like it and it works with our image.
Both couples would hang out in the hot tub. While Ramona and Valentine were purely physical, Marlowe and Jamar preferred talking and hanging out.
Aw you look like your Dad!
Jonesy: Whatever. I'm out.
What do you mean?
Jonesy: I'm moving. I don't need my sisters to "raise" me.
And so he did. That night he packed his things and left before Ramona and Marlowe could protest.
As the months past, the couples began having issues and eventually everything was broken up - including the band. The girls grew older and eventually realized that they could find better band mates.
Marlowe liked the look Ramona had given her as a teen so she tried to mature it a little bit.
Note: I can't find my picture of Ramona but she looks pretty much the same minus the hat.

A new club called The Grind had been built in Sunset Valley and the girls were there on the grand opening.
That's when Marlowe met Clyde Johnson. She'd heard about him a lot lately. Her friends told her how great he was at bass and how he was currently without a band.
Marlowe: So I was wondering if you'd like to join my band, Radioactive Love. It's just me and my sister but we're pretty good.
Clyde: Mm okay. Sure.
Marlowe: Seriously? OH MY GOD! YES!
Marlowe was unaware that Clyde had come with his friend Shane, a self-obsessed boy who liked stirring up trouble amongst others.
Shane: Oh wow. That girl you were talking to was all over you.
Clyde: No, I don't think so. She just asked me to join her band.
Shane: She asked you to join her band? She's so into you. If I were you, I'd go kiss her.
Clyde: You're an idiot.
Shane: You might be right but I know more about girls than you.
Clyde: That's true.
Clyde knew he couldn't win an argument with Shane and that the only way to finish this was to kiss her, at least she wasn't ugly like all the girls he'd convinced him to make out with in the past.
Marlowe hadn't expected it. She'd heard of him and seen pictures but she'd always thought he'd like someone more like Ramona.
Shane: Hey what's up?
Ramona: Nothing. This club sucks.
Shane: Tell me about it. I have better parties than they do. Hell, I get bigger crowds and I don't have to bribe them with half-price drinks.
Ramona: Am I supposed to care about your dopey parties?
Shane: Yeah, most people do and most people wouldn't talk to me like that but I'll let it slide for you.
Ramona: You're an ass.
Shane was an entertainer. He liked to be the center of attention and in everyone's thoughts at all times.
Shane was popular. Very popular and people were eager to get his picture, just to say that they saw him.
Many days passed, Shane was often over at their house. He'd come over with Clyde one day to watch them practice.
That's when everyone saw how talented he was. He'd been playing guitar since his early teens and his voice was amazing, much better than Valentine's had been. Clyde also a better bassist.
Ramona didn't care. She enjoyed going shows at the Grind, even if it wasn't very classy. They always drew large crowds and everyone in town knew all about them.
Ramona found herself in the same type of relationship. Except this time she cared. She cared about Shane much more than she'd ever cared for anyone.
Marlowe was happy for them, sure but she was getting sick of seeing the two of them...displaying their affection in the backyard.
Their house was constantly surrounded by paparazzi. Including the cheeseburger lady from forever ago.
This was purely for your eyes. Enjoy.
Oh and I'm not enjoying the Late Night skinny dip option. You know who likes to skinny dip? ELDERS! It's gross.

Shane: Of course you can have my autograph. I can give you a picture too, if you want.
Alvi: No it's fine. I'll just take the autograph.
Shane: Hey, lady. I know we're hot but do you really need to follow us around? Get some manners or crawl back under your rock.
But they met back up in the hot tub for a celebratory woohoo. (Though the public found out and their images were tarnished)
Ramona: Hey Shane, can I tell you something?
Shane: Okay, babe but make it quick. I have to go out soon.
Shane: How could you let this happen?! That'll ruin our band. We can't have a pregnant drummer!
Ramona: All you can think about is the band? What am I supposed to do? I'm pregnant, unmarried, and living off tips!
Shane: Maybe you should have thought about that before you decided to be a slut!
Ramona: You were the one who always wanted to woohoo! It was the only way I could keep you around!

Ramona couldn't help but cry. She'd loved him and she'd also love performing with him. She's always wanted to be a musician but those dreams were crushed. There was no way she could raise a child and a band. In fact, she wasn't sure she could raise a child at all.
Shane wasn't burdened by the thought of having a child. He craved fame and so he started a solo, electro-pop band called Cosmic Glow. He was signed to a record deal and was all over the radios. Girls were freaking out over Shane Sahara, the newest heart throb.
Despite his over night popularity, he felt he was missing something...
To be continued.
I hope you enjoyed it. It was very dramatic and I like the new style. This generation needed a change. :)
