Hey, welcome back!
“Race you to see mama!” giggled Madeline.
“Maddie, that not fwair! I can‟t go outside and mwama is outside,” Lauren complained, crawling
behind her sister. “Ok ven! I win!”
“I win!” Madeline giggled to her „mum‟.
“The big scary monster‟s coming to eat you!” rawred Holly Blue,
gently lunging at her sister. Lauren laughed loudly, and Holly Blue smiled.
Holly Blue was making lots of new friends at school, but her best
friend was a boy named Orlando Bertino.
“Weee!” screamed Lauren as her dad tipped her upside-down.
Holly Blue should probably have been named Tickle. She liked
tickling people, and loved being tickled herself!
Madeline discovered the toilet.
“Who‟s a good girl?” “Mwe! Mwe!”
Holly Blue enjoyed school more than being at home. At home she
had to look after her sisters and clean up messes.
When there was only their dad at home, Maddie and Lauren made a
lot of mess.
Holly Blue had been enjoying school so much, that she got an
A+!
As well as good grades, Evangeline got a promotion, so the house
could now have some floors put in rather than grass.
Luckily it was soon time for Maddie‟s birthday, so she couldn‟t
make any more mess by playing in the toilet.
“Fire!”
She grew up as cute as ever.
Holly Blue enjoyed having someone to play with.
They were soon good friends.
This meant that Lauren could spend more time with her mum,
which, of course, she loved.
“Madeline... Would you sit down? I‟d like to talk to you about
something...” Dominic said nervously. “Yeah?”
“Madeline, Evangeline isn‟t actually your mum.”
“But you‟re still my dad?” “Er... Yes. Actually, you have two dads. Your other dad.... he‟s an
alien. I got abducted when Holly Blue was young.”
“So...does that mean Evangeline doesn‟t love me, and I can‟t call
her mum any more?” “Oh, Maddie! Of course she still loves you and of course you can
call her mum!”
“Ok... Well, I‟m going to go and play with Holly,” Maddie sighed,
walking off.
“Why can I never catch any of these stupid butterflies!” Holly
Blue moaned. “Holly? Can I tell you something?” “Oh, hey Maddie! Sure what is it?”
Maddie told Holly Blue everything their dad had said.
“Oh, Maddie!”
“We‟ll still be best friends, whatever happens!”
“I‟m so glad I have you, Holly! Now, let‟s catch some of those stupid butterflies!”
“Ooh, Maddie! Orlando‟s here! Hey Orlando!”
“Should we go inside?” Maddie suggested. “It‟s cold out here.”
“Hello Orlando, nice to meet you!” “Pleased to meet you too, Miss
Foxglove!” They both giggled as they shook hands and pretended to be grown-
ups.
But it turned out Holly Blue had more fun with Orlando than with
Maddie, so Maddie went to play with Lauren.
“When you grow up, we can be best friends.”
“Orlando... Would you think me silly if I thought that one day
maybe we could be in love and have lots of children and get married and live happily ever after
like mum and dad?”
“Of course not! It would cool!” “Really?”
“Really!”
“We should play mums and dads and Lauren can be our baby!”
“Hahahahahaha, yeah!” “Can you stay for her birthday party tonight?”
“Sorry, my mum and dad have guests round, so I probably have to go soon.”
Maddie was ready to grow up a few hours later.
Instead of blowing out the candles, she tried to touch them, but
Evangeline pulled her away.
Evangeline had to blow out the candles for Lauren.
Lauren, instead of spraying confetti everywhere, oddly started
to spray snow...
She grew up into a very pretty child.
And as soon as she‟d got changed, Lauren decided to try out the
easel.
“Hey Orlando!” “Hi Blue!”
Holly Blue blushed – Blue – she liked that name.
“How was Maddie’s party?” “It was good! The cake was nice,
but I wish you could have been here!”
“So do I! Oh – sorry, my mum’s calling me, I have to do my
homework. See you at school tomorrow!” “See ya! Bye!”
“Bye!”
Maddie had listened to the whole conversation, and ran to find
Lauren. “Happy birthday Lauren!” she said, hugging her.
“Thanks, Maddie! Should we be best friends?” “YEAH!”
That‟s the end of this chapter! Hope you enjoyed it! I‟m going to
try and fit their teenage years into one chapter, and hopefully decide the heir soon! It can‟t be Maddie
unfortunately because she‟s not strictly related to Evangeline, but she would have been my first
choice :(
