Re: A Glimpse of the Future....

Alex: Neither did you..... it was all a front to cover up your virginity.

..... perhaps a little cock-blocking is in order?

The whole time Alex is intently keeping one eye on Natalie's performance.

Cryonix Sun Mar 04, 2012 8:12 am

Gabe: Naw...I'm sure they'll freak when they find out he's only 15.

Gabe watches Natalie as well...

Gabe: She's gotten real good. Still has that crush on Sifu Emo?

Cruel Britannia Sun Mar 04, 2012 8:17 am

Alex: Yup..... just like Liz still has a crush on Uncle Smartypants......

.... they remind me of how we used to fight for Aunt Nathie's attention.....

Cryonix Sun Mar 04, 2012 8:19 am

Gabe: Speaking of which, those two will be here later...in time for the full contact. Jessica is receiving her second Pulitzer Prize.

Cruel Britannia Sun Mar 04, 2012 8:23 am

Alex: Between her and Jayden and his Nobel peace prizes.... you'd think they'd be bored by now......

Cryonix Sun Mar 04, 2012 8:25 am

Gabe: Jayden is. He wants to open a swordfighting academy....apparently he's ready to retire. After two terms as Prime Minister and the CEO of a Fortune 500 company...what the hell else does he NEED to do?...

....how the hell are we related to him?

Cruel Britannia Sun Mar 04, 2012 8:29 am

Alex: He didn't even get any of my mum's genes.... so we can't blame her..... I think we finally need to come to terms with the fact that he's a damned freak of nature.

Cryonix Sun Mar 04, 2012 8:48 am

Gabe: Well....we did always know that. I'm proud of him, though....you know? Oh....yeah, check this out...

Gabe pulls out a magazine from his bag...

Gabe: Look at this bullshit..."Ten Men of the World We Wish Were Not Married". Number one is....guess who? I guess he'll never have to worry about being shy around girls anymore...

Cruel Britannia Sun Mar 04, 2012 8:52 am

Alex: Pffft.... as if he's ever going to be on the market again.... Jessica is just as possessive as any blood-born Edwards.....

Cryonix Sun Mar 04, 2012 8:53 am

Gabe: And now that she can actually fight....I think you're right.

Cruel Britannia Sun Mar 04, 2012 8:56 am

Alex looks on at Alexis coaching Natalie.

Alex: We all got pretty lucky

Pockets Sun Mar 04, 2012 10:08 am

Natalie barely hears her mother. She is "performing" the snake kata for just one of the judges... Micah.

Cryonix Sun Mar 04, 2012 10:24 am

Judge 1: Wow, she's very good!

Micah: She's really upped her practice schedule. It shows.

Judge 2: She seems to be...looking at someone, though....

Pockets Sun Mar 04, 2012 10:32 am

Natalie effortlessly performs the moves she had gone over with again and again with her uncle, remembering their sparring as she tries to catch his eyes, to see if he is proud of her.

Alexis: Natalie, focus!

Jabberwocky Sun Mar 04, 2012 11:16 am

Connor watches his sisters performance, not at all oblivious to her trying to impress their uncle Micah

Connor:"What is it about him?"

Pockets Sun Mar 04, 2012 11:26 am

Alexis glances at Connor.

Alexis: The whole dark and mysterious thing can be... very appealing....

She quickly turns her attention back to Natalie.

Cryonix Sun Mar 04, 2012 11:31 am

Micah: Alright...pay attention. This is the part of the form where we should judge her heavily. It's called 'Snake fights Crane'. Let's see if she gets it....

Judge 1: Hmmm....

Jabberwocky Sun Mar 04, 2012 11:32 am

Connor raises a brow

Connor:"I'll take your word for it I guess...It seems like both her and Lizzy were vying for the same men from the time we were all in diapers though.."

Pockets Sun Mar 04, 2012 11:39 am

Alexis smirks.

Alexis: And you have always been close to your Uncle Colin. I suppose the attachments you make as babies last.

As she turns her attention back to Natalie, the look on the girl's face changes as she remembers sparring against her mother's crane style.

Cruel Britannia Sun Mar 04, 2012 11:41 am

Alex joins Alexis, smirking

Alex: So.... you find the whole dark and mysterious thing.....appealing huh?

Jabberwocky Sun Mar 04, 2012 11:41 am

Connor mutters under his breath

Connor:"at least i don't want to get into colins pants...

Pockets Sun Mar 04, 2012 11:44 am

Alexis' face turns red.

Alexis: There had been times....

Cruel Britannia Sun Mar 04, 2012 11:47 am

Alex pouts.

Alex: Is that so?

Pockets Sun Mar 04, 2012 11:48 am

Alexis looks frustrated.

Alexis: Oh, for God's sake! I dated Micah, didn't I?

Cruel Britannia Sun Mar 04, 2012 11:53 am

Alex recoils.

Alex: Um...... OK...... not in the mood for jokes..... got it.
