The Cooper Legacy: Chapter 10 - A New Style

The Cooper's have returned! :) Before we start, I just wanted to let you know that this is a long chapter and that I spent absolutely no time on this generation's childhood. I have big plans for their lives and I wanted to add some drama. So you'll see them go from not even born to adults in one chapter. Enjoy.





Jem: Hey guys :D You're just in time...


Spider: Like this, huh?


Spider: Too bad though. I'm a married man.


Ellis: You know that boy is just going to break your heart, right?
Jem: No he isn't, Daddy.


Jem: Mmph. Smack.


Ellis: Stop kissing and look at me! I'm going to be old! :D


Ellis: Oh look at my saggy arms and wrinkly face. You jealous yet, bitches?


*Group Laughter*
Spider:
Hahaha he thinks we're jealous!


Jem: I really need to see a doctor. My stomach is on the fritz.


Ellis: I remember when I was just a young man who loved a girl....But then she died.


Ellis: She was so tragically stupid! sobsob

Ellis: Oh hey. You're stomach is huge. I remember when I used to have kids...


Tallen: HEY DAD! IT'S YOUR SON, TALLEN! MY WIFE IS PREGNANT!
Ellis: Yours too? This is nuts.


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.


Ellis: This reminds me of your mother. sobsob That bitch loved crazy names.


Jem: HELP ME!


Spider: I can't! I'm not a doctor! WHAT DO I DO?


Spider: OH MY GOD! OH LORD! Wait. I know just what to do.


Good one. Just go to sleep and pretend you can't hear her screams.


This is Marlowe Cooper.


And surprise. The curse of the twins struck again. This is Ramona.

Ramona and Marlowe are polar opposites. Ramona is evil and grumpy.

And Marlowe is just an excitable little tot.


Ellis: Oh hi, babbby. You're my new favorite.


They are just too cute. Even with Spider's giant nose.


We've managed to save up enough to move into a nice new house. One with room for everyone.


Marlowe: Wuv you, bunny.


Ramona: Bunny :)


We've approached a birthday.


Spider: No. My baby's can't grow up.


But they did. Here they are, looking all twin-ish.


Ramona: Hi Daddy! I love you!
Spider: You're a cheap imitation of evil.


Ramona: I'm not evil, Daddy, just misunderstood.

I just liked how she's smiling for no reason.

Jem: barfbarfbarf. I don't want any more kids! :(


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*


He's officially an adult. Can you see any differences?


Marlowe: School will be fun! I like learning!


Jem: Aw! A baby!


I find it so disturbing that Spider likes to go skinny dipping with his father-in-law.


Even worse, Jem hid their clothes so now they're just walking around in towels.


Marlowe: Homework is like school that you get to do at home!


Spiderrr, put some clothes on please. What if your towel falls off in mid-jump?

Spider: Don't worry it won't and if it does, would that be so bad? ;)

Ramona: How can Marlowe do this without wanting to gouge her eyes out?


Later that evening, Jem was invited to her brother Tallen's house party. It's hard to tell but Envy is pregnant too.


Tallen: The guests are going to love this mac n cheese.


Starr: So then I was like "Whaaa? No this mask is part of my facade!"
Bruno: Cool story, bro.


Isn't Bruno adorable? :) I might put him up for download on my page, if anyone wants him.


I find it rude that they're making out all over the place with company over.


Jem: This must be baby Cora...why are you laying on the dirty floor?


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!


That's so cute! Look at little Grimmy, he's playing with his dollies.


Ramona: I have more money than you!
Marlowe: Yeah, only because you took mine!


Jem: Oh ouch. This is familiar.


Jem: Meh. It was worse the first time.


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.


After a very dramatic birth, Jonesy was born.


Jonesy: This is place is stupid.


Jonesy: Lolli?
Ramona: Muahahaha! My candy!


Jonesy: GIVE IT BACK! WAHHH!


Yay for birthdays!
Ramona: I wish for a hot boyfriend


This is Ramona after her make-over. I thought she needed a dark look for her dark personality.


This is Marlowe. She likes knowledge so I gave her a nice, simple look.


Jammin'.


Marlowe: This keyboard is more fun than reading.


Ramona: This is great! :D

We're gonna take control, dancing is our weapon, let your moves unfold.


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.


Marlowe brought Jonesy to the cake since no one else seems to give a crap about him.


Jonesy: Eh it's fine. I don't give a crap about them either.
Not nice.


But you should always be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.


Spider: Please help me! Someone! Anyone!


As he sank into the water, the whole atmosphere of the house changed.


He makes a pretty hot ghostie.


Unfortunately for the household, we had a double elimination.


They both drown within minutes of each other. All because they had a "hold your breath" contest and they were just so dedicated.


Jem: I won the contest. :)


The girls were forced to take over the house. Which meant that they had to raise themselves and Jonesy.


The girls became more interested in music. It was their escape.


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.


They were popular amongst the townies. They'd just walk right into the house to see the band play.


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.


Jamar had never played in a band and was used to orchestra so he is stage presence was lacking.


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.


Ramona: Okay. Contacts first. Then we'll fix your hair and outfit.


After quite a bit of work, they finally chose a good look for her.
Marlowe: You are a genius!

Just another shot of her outfit. :)


After she finished with Marlowe, she gave Jamar a new outfit. He looked too much like Uncle Bruno.


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.


Ramona: I should just drop out. It's what all the musicians do.
No. You aren't dropping out.

After band practice, Valentine and Ramona would sneak up to her bedroom where things would heat up.


That's not all that was heating up. (haha get it. It's a hot tub.)



Both couples would hang out in the hot tub. While Ramona and Valentine were purely physical, Marlowe and Jamar preferred talking and hanging out.


No one really noticed Jonesy's birthday so he celebrated it alone.


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.


Clyde and Marlowe were drawn to each other and couldn't resist.


Meanwhile, Ramona was sitting on the sidelines, waiting for something interesting to happen.


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.


Despite her negative first impression of Shane, she found herself dancing with him.


Clyde and Marlowe couldn't keep their hands off each other. Maybe the sleazy atmosphere helped.


Shane was an entertainer. He liked to be the center of attention and in everyone's thoughts at all times.


Everyone watched him swing his hips around. Most were laughing though.



Everyone except Ramona. She liked his confidence.


After a few drinks, Shane was all over Ramona.


Marlowe wasn't surprised to see her sister kissing him. He was like a cocky version of Valentine.


Shane persuaded her to get up on the tables but Ramona did the rest.


Shane was popular. Very popular and people were eager to get his picture, just to say that they saw him.


Shane was an impulsive, drifter.


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.


Marlowe had been trying to get them a record deal for so long but so far they'd had no luck.


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.


Clyde and Shane eventually moved into their home, it made things easier on everyone.


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.


So Marlowe and Clyde packed their bags and moved out. Only getting together for band practice.


Their house was constantly surrounded by paparazzi. Including the cheeseburger lady from forever ago.


Kissy kissy. :)


Now you can pretend you're kissing Shane.


Or the guys can kiss Ramona.


Shane always wanted more.


And he always got it.


A few days later, they decided to head down to the pool to swim and do a little show.

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.


They put their heart and soul into the music.


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.


Sandi: HEY! Ramona! Let me get your picture!


Ramona: Peace, bitches.


After sharing a kiss, Shane noticed something.


Cheeseburger woman was taking pictures of them.


Wouldn't it be awesome if she fell in the pool and ruined her camera? She's annoying me so much.


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.


Cheezburger: Whoa, I'm just doing my job.


Duel to the Death.



Shane: Eat it, bitch.

While that was going on, Ramona was busy throwing up.


But they met back up in the hot tub for a celebratory woohoo. (Though the public found out and their images were tarnished)

A few weeks later, Ramona realized why she'd been so sick. She was pregnant.


Ramona: Hey Shane, can I tell you something?
Shane: Okay, babe but make it quick. I have to go out soon.


Ramona: Okay...You're going to be a dad.


Shane: A dad?


Shane: So you're pregnant?
Ramona: Well...yeah.

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!


Shane: It didn't work, did it? We're over and I hope I never have to see you or your kid again!


And with that, Shane packed his bags and left. Radioactive Love was done for good.


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. :)
