Breaking away from the story for a little bit... I'm gonna go into the sequel's new characters.
Our plot's gonna fast forward a few years, in which our main characters are going to have had children. They're gonna become the new main characters in the sequel, so here's a basic synopsis of them...
Jacob is the family intellectual. He's very into technology and philosophy, and is prone to watch quiz shows at all hours of the day. He's a little bit shy but highly sarcastic at times.
Destiny and Daniel are twin siblings, born two hours apart.
Destiny often goes by "Maddie," and is prone to be a little commanding as well as demanding. Her views are feministic and she's always into the latest fashion trends. She's always asking for a raise in allowance.
Daniel is the frailest in appearance. He nearly died at birth and spent the first two years of his life that many believed would not survive. He's a bit troubled mentally, overly competitive, and highly defensive. Many believe the boy holds a secret...
Jamie is the tomboyish daughter. She tends to get herself into all kinds of mischief and is prone to disappear for hours at a time, exploring the woods behind her house. She's a daddy's girl and uses her girlish charm to win him over when she's in trouble.
Damon is the family's troublemaker. He's known to his brothers as an irritating tag-along, while his sisters find him simply annoying. He loves to play video games and is very good at them. He's always in trouble for setting pranks about the house.
