Yes...here is the next chapter of "House of Pullip". I'm tired of waiting for my forum to get put back together before I posted it...hopefully a few of the forum members will see it here so they don't have to wait to read it. I still think it's going to be a few more days before the forum is all back to normal, I asked my host about it but she hasn't had the time to work on it yet and I don't want to rush her. I'm going to be a good girl and stay patient...and there's no reason I can't keep enjoying my Pullips and stories while I'm waiting. Sorry for the indoor pics, but it's raining (again). Anyway...enjoy!
Brief recap, since it's been a few days since the last chapter: Ronan accidentally turned Madison into a turtle and now they are going to tell Sebastian...no telling how he might react but he's very protective of Madison so it could be bad...but he's changed a lot so who knows? Lucas insisted on speaking to Annike about their past friendship, Annike is still angry with Lucas for leaving back in high school without saying goodbye.
Chapter 42:
Sebastian: Ronan…you turned Madison into a turtle? Why? What were you thinking?
Ronan: As I already explained, it was a mistake.
Madison: Really, Sebastian, it’s okay now. I just thought you should know about it, that’s all.
Sebastian: *sighs, rubs his head, tries to control his temper*
Paige: *whispers to Sebastian* Relax, love.
Sebastian: Ronan, you and I need to have a discussion…in private.
Ronan: Yes, sir.
Sebastian: Please stop calling me sir…
*Sebastian leads Ronan away to a private location*
Paige: Oh…I hope Sebastian doesn’t do anything he’ll regret later.
Madison: I don’t think so. Sebastian and Ronan have known each other for a long time; I think Sebastian just wants to know why Ronan is here. Paige…I have to tell you, since Sebastian met you his temper had really improved. You’ve helped him become a better man.
Paige: *smile and a rare blush*
Alex: Are you sure you’re okay, Madison?
Madison: Really, I’m fine. *tries to keep it light to improve Alex’s mood* And now we’ve both been turtles… *sly smile*
Alex: *laughs*
Meanwhile…
Ronan: Please believe I meant the princess no harm. It was an accident! I thought the man she was with was Damien!
Sebastian: First of all, never speak that name in my presence-
Ronan: Right…I apologize.
Sebastian: Second…I made the same mistake when I first arrived here, so I can hardly be angry with you. I even turned Alex into a turtle myself and acted very foolishly.
Ronan: You? I cannot believe that!
Sebastian: Yes, me. I’m not perfect, I never claimed to be. Now, why are you still here?
Ronan: The lady named Rayna invited me to stay.
Sebastian: She did?
Ronan: Yes.
Sebastian: Fine, you may stay, but under no circumstances are you to tell my parents the whereabouts of Madison, is that understood?
Ronan: I understand perfectly.
Sebastian: What do you plan to do now?
Ronan: I am unsure…
Sebastian: Hmmm…this house…it is a nice place to live.
Ronan: *nods*
Sebastian: You never know, Ronan, you might be able to make it nicer with your talents…?
Ronan: *smile*
Elsewhere…
Annike: What do you want, Lucas?
Lucas: I want to know why you are so mad at me. I haven’t seen you in years so I don’t know what I’ve done.
Annike: I haven’t seen you in years; do you think that would make me happy?
Lucas: So you missed me?
Annike: You didn’t even say goodbye!
Lucas: *snicker* You did miss me. I knew it.
Annike: You don’t get it, do you? I thought we were friends but you left without saying goodbye. Then you were gone for years and I never heard from you. Some friend you are.
Lucas: Nika…
Annike: So…was the band worth it? Was it worth running off from school before graduating and driving away the only friend you had there? Was it?
Lucas: The band…about that…er… *shifts uncomfortably*
Annike: Oh, let me guess…your precious band is no more. Tell me I’m right.
Lucas: You’re right.
Annike: I should have known. There’s no other reason you’d be in a place like this.
Lucas: Nika, don’t be like this.
Annike: Well, if you expect me to throw myself at you like all of your silly fan girls, you don’t know me as well as I thought.
Lucas: That’s not what I expected; I just thought you’d be happy to see me.
Annike: It’s not always about you, you know. So, what are you doing here besides moping about your band?
Lucas: Just trying to find a way to leave as soon as I can.
Annike: *snort* Figures.
To be continued...
I know this isn't the most exciting chapter, but I'm just tying up a few things before moving on with the rest of the story...more is going to start happening really soon, stayed tuned :D
And because my forum is down and I get bored easy I might have time to post chapters more than every other day, so we'll see how it works out. I'd rather take my photos outside so I just hope it stops raining long enough for me to do that :P
