Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karin" data-source="post: 108235" data-attributes="member: 57167">Thank you everyone for the feedback. I really appreciate it. :ex:Presea, I'm glad that you enjoyed Lucy & Mitch dancing at the party. They know how to have a good time. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Yeah unfortunately Christopher looks up to John Ross even when he's wrong. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />However as for his guests, I think you have forgotten what it's like to be 14. Since when you are that age you think you are an adult and you are trying so hard to act like an adult by distance yourself from the things that you enjoyed when you were a child. So yeah at that age dressing up in cartoon costumes or watching cartoons on TV is definitely not considered cool. It's only for dorks. At least that's the way it was where I was growing up. I agree it's not nice and there's a reason that I still consider the years I spent at Junior High (ages 13-16) as some of the worst years in my life. I never fitted in with the cool crowd. I was true to myself and yes I was what others would consider a dork! :Clol:Sanda, yeah Christopher is definitely humiliated by the whole masquerade right now. But I promise you that when the party is over he will feel a lot better about it. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Okay so it's time for another update: Outside in the hallway were John Ross and Christopher sitting in the stairs in an attempt to avoid the party. “Finally some music!” Christopher smiled.John Ross craned his neck to look into the living room and smiled, “Yeah good old cousin Lucy to the rescue!”“So should we go dance?” Christopher asked.“Nah, my girl’s not here yet!” John Ross said, before he laughed, “Don’t look now but your parents are about to start dancing!”Christopher got up and to his horror he could see his parents dancing 70s disco moves. “Oh no, just what I didn’t need. Can this party get any worse?”“Guess again,” John Ross pointed at the dance floor where some of the guests had started to imitate Bobby and Pam’s dance style.“I’m dying,” Christopher sighed, when the doorbell rang. The boys exchanged a look and Christopher said, “Oh no more geeks!”“Go get them!”“You so owe me for this!” Christopher sighed before he went to open the door and on the other side he found three persons dressed out as a nurse, a witch and a punker.Christopher smiled as the punker said, “Joe, you’re Christopher?”“Yes, welcome!”“Congrats man, 14 is a great age,” the punker said and handed Christopher a gift.“Thanks,” Christopher took the gift. “Come on in.” They went in and Chris said, “This is my cousin John Ross.”“Oh he’s cute,” the nurse said.John Ross smiled, “Howdy.” Then he put his arm around Chris’s shoulders and said, “Well Chris I think the evening’s starting to shape up!”The witch peaked into the living room and said, “Are we at the right place?”“Are those people the guests?” The Punker asked, staring at the nerds.“I’m afraid so,” John Ross made a face.“Oh great,” the nurse said sarcastically.“You might understand why I’m happy that you guys showed.” They nodded. “Now let’s get this party starting,” Christopher said and they all walked into the living room.</blockquote>
