Back to this family’s Introduction | On to Part 2

Our first family in Oasis Springs, and it's winter. Go figure. Even better... I don't even know how to handle the holidays in a family that's too stuck up to always be a family... LOL. Well... we'll see how it goes.

First thing I do is a couple of updates to the house.. although I end up doing at least one more as the week goes on.

A butler suite...

And a bigger TV, coffee table, and games system for Malcolm.

Next thing... is adding a butler. Because Landgraabs. Obviously.

Meet Naoko.

Aww.. at least they're starting out the week acting like a family. (With food the butler cooked.. of course.)

Well.. At least some of them are.... Nancy's working on her sadly lacking Mischief skill.

It occurs to me the house is missing another few things...

Laundry room..

... And FISH!! .. Because fishies.

Malcolm discovers the game system. (And the Alexa.. lol.)

... However, it doesn't make him all that happy.

.. Someone else has homework for work.

... And look who showed up all by themselves. Awesome. Let the story-telling begin.

"Welcome to my house" ... Cassandra looks overwhelmed. She knew he was rich.. but.. still..

"Don't worry, dad and mom are too busy with their work to bother us." .. Suave kiss.

Cassandra .. "Does this mean I can have a convertible?" (The thought bubble was worth the extra trouble of screen shotting. I had nothing to do with making her think that...)

"You're welcome here anytime, honey.." ... "REALLY?"

"We'll be together forever. I promise"

"I love you so much Malcolm!"

Cassandra - "But what about my parents?!"  .. Malcolm - "Aww, who cares, they'll get over it."

"My room's awesome, isn't it?" .. "Wow"

"What's going on in here?!?"

Cassandra - "Oh my gosh, I knew this was going to happen!!"

"Back off, Dad, I love her!" "But you're just a kid, this is totally inappropriate!"

"LA LA LA .. Can't hear you, Dad.."

"Son, we need a serious talk."

"Why? I know what I'm doing!"

"Just get out of my life!"

"Don't worry, Cassandra, things will turn out okay."

"I'm sure of it."

"You caught him doing WHAT?  With WHO?"

Cassandra heads home. Probably to face the music for sneaking out.

"Malcolm, your Dad's just trying to be helpful. It's a parent's job.."

After the late night chat, the butler can't quite make it to his bed. I laughed way too hard.

... Oh look, he finally made it!

The next day, Malcolm skips school.... to confront the Goths.

He was aiming for Mortimer, but Bella came home first.

... She looks shocked.

"Cassandra can live her own life. And she chose me!"

"I don't THINK so."

The look of satisfaction....

.. Because, apparently, Bella won the argument. Malcolm notices that Mortimer came home, and heads inside... only...

... Couldn't be a better time for a mood swing?! .. At least the moodlet is appropriate. LOL.

.. Just for Malcolm's well-being, we have him calm down before confronting Mr. Goth.

"What are you doing in my house?"

SHOVE. (Real mature, there, Malcolm..)

"She's mine! Keep your nose out of our business!!"

"Please stop fighting!!" (I had to laugh at this screenshot. So like Alexander to try to be the peace-maker...)

"Get out of my house" ... Malcolm - "That's all you have to say??"

"Malcolm!"

"I love you!" .. "Things will be okay!"

.... I'm not even sure his parents noticed he was gone...

See you in Part two!
