Scenes like these are easy to write. I guess it&#039;s because Jenny and I were so close to our grandma. So we&#039;ve definitely experienced these kinds of looking at old photos and learning about our family history kind of moments. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile&nbsp; &nbsp; :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Come to think of it both of our grandmas, one of our uncles and our parents got to listen to this story when we first wrote it! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin&nbsp; &nbsp; :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />I guess pretty much everyone in my family except my grandpa had watched Dallas back in the 1980s and early 90s. Not that they were all that interested in our fanfic though, as they only heard like an episode or two. With the exception of our mom and uncle who heard lots more. I think we probably shared the first 40 episodes with our mom. She used to encourage us to write things and she also rewatched Dallas with us in the reruns as we saw most of the episodes for the first time. So it was something we shared. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile&nbsp; &nbsp; :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Ms Southworth, yeah Afton surely need to wake up and see Mario for who he is. But at least now she&#039;s gotten the message that her daughter really doesn&#039;t want her to marry Mario. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown&nbsp; &nbsp; :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />Well we got to see the John Ross photo in another scene too and yeah it looked clownish... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink&nbsp; &nbsp; ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Oh yeah Jenna&#039;s arrival at Southfork will definitely bring out a lot of drama.

They had just stepping down from their horses when they spotted Rebecca sitting on the fence, waiting for them. She did not look happy.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Hi Rebecca, what are you doing out here by yourself?” Bobby asked.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah why aren’t you playing with Margaret?” Ray asked.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I was but it was no fun!” Rebecca whined.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Bobby sighed, as he walked up to Rebecca and tied the horse to the fence, “What did you fight about?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Nothing, I’m not angry with Margaret. I’m angry with you!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Bobby was taken aback from that comment as he hadn&#039;t expected that.

It's actually...oh why don't I let you find that out for yourself! :D Here's tonight's [B]update: [/B] Over at the stables were Bobby and Ray coming back for lunch, after working the ranch. They had just stepping down from their horses when they spotted Rebecca sitting on the fence, waiting for them. She did [I]not [/I]look happy. “Hi Rebecca, what are you doing out here by yourself?” Bobby asked. “Yeah why aren’t you playing with Margaret?” Ray asked. “I was but it was no fun!” Rebecca whined. Bobby sighed, as he walked up to Rebecca and tied the horse to the fence, “What did you fight about?” “Nothing, I’m not angry with Margaret. I’m angry with [I]you[/I]!” Bobby was taken aback from that comment as he hadn't expected that.

Bobby froze when he heard the other man’s name, “What do you mean?” “Well mom dated him even though she always loved you!” Rebecca explained and Bobby's face broke up in a big smile as it was just what he needed to hear. “I’m glad we had this little chat sweetie, now if you’ll excuse me I’ll better go find your mom!” [/QUOTE]
