"So, you like their house? I like their house." Monique stood with Beatrix at the front of a cozy looking house. "I want to live here. It's so cute!' "I know, right??" She rang the doorbell. The door opened, revealing Sterling and the short kid that walked in with him the other day.
"Oh, hello!" Sterling smiled. "Buddy!!" The kid hugged her. "Hey, Guy!!" She patted him. "Hey there." She smiled at the kid and Sterling, before they welcomed the two inside. "Hey, Gina! Hi, Prince! Ello, George! Hello, Val!" Buddy peaked into the living room and immediately ran upstairs.
"So, uh, how are you Sterling?" Trixie stepped inside. "Very good. How about you?" "I worked a double shift, and i'm running on a cup of matcha tea, so im great." She said sarcastically. "Well, now you can feel even greater. We don't have anything super important to do, so feel free to sit down. Drink a beverage that you didn't make for once!" He laughed.
Beatrix sat down in the living room, which consisted of a bunch of "kids", along with Guy. They all seemed to branch from their tweens all the way to their late teens. "There are a lot of you." She mumbled looking around. "Yep. Dad is pretty nice, so he lets my friends hang out here a lot when they wanna be away from home." Guy states.
"That's nice of him, what's your name?" Beatrix smiled at the kid. "Well, it's one of those names that takes getting used to– It's a word on its own. It's 'Guy'. " He over-explained. "Hi guy, I'm Beatrix. You can call me Bee or Trixie." She held her hand out for a hand-shake. He high-fived her instead. "Okay!"
— CUT TO ALYSS AND MONIQUE
"So, yeah, I've been cooking a lot more. What about you?" Alyss said. "You know, working at this new, apparently haunted Cafe, I do a lot of baking and order-taking." Buddy stated. "Haunted??? What did you see?" "Well, you know Nyx? I basically assume her and the ghost are in love, but she won't confirm anything." "I assume Trixie's in on that, too, right?" "Absolutely. We actually laughed about it when Nyx told us a super unconvincing story about how much she was definitely not in love with the ghost." "Perfect. Do I get to know more about the ghost?" It came out more bitter than intended. "Yeesh- Yeah, you do! Their name is Rosemary, and I think Nyx said they're in her early 20s–" "Ah, that sounds like forever ago for me." Alyss is in fact, also in her 30s with Buddy. "Tell me about it! Rosemary also speaks a lot of Hawaiian, which she never translates, which I'm getting used to." "Understood. By the way, didn't you invite Beatrix today?" "Yep! Probably flirting with Sterling more." "Oh no. Should we go crash their date?" Alyss chuckled. "And go hang out with all the adorable children??" Buddy looked offended, which Alyss didn't reply to. "Of course! That first bit was a joke." Buddy lightened up. And they walked downstairs.
