((Sure! I'll reply down here then post the time skip in the next post -- unless you wanna start first with some of the characters :D This is kinda exciting for some reason XD))
Diana:
"Well... I trust your opinion on everything." I said smiling back.

Leon:
I smirked slightly at her and drank my chocolate in silence starting to relax a bit.

Matt:
I nudged him a bit and told him, "Just drive. I'm hungry."

((Oh yeah. Didn't think about that. I was wondering if there was a way I could force her to have to live with her grandfather and how that would affect her relationship with Klaus. Kinda forgot))


((Oh what should we name Aletha and Denise's baby?))

Leon:
I had woken up very early, showered and gotten dressed before sitting on the bed next to Ryan's sleeping form. I couldn't really leave for work anymore without saying 'Good morning' to her. Unless she was sick or too tired or something and I knew she needed more sleep than usual.

Gently placing a hand on her side, I kissed her cheek whispering, "I'm off to work."

Matt:
I sat down on the floor outside of Monica's class. I knew she had an exam and my class was done early and since I had promised to give her a ride home, I had a good excuse to wait for her outside.

Diana:
"Aaaaand cut!" The director announced as Elias and the other actors got to the end of the scene. Elias had made it ... big time judging by the fan mail and he seemed to be enjoying doing this so far. Not sure for how long but ...


((hmmm others would be next))

((Well, her grandfather would then give them trouble. Let's have Marie try to ignore him for a couple of years and see what happens))

((I think they should have a boy.))

((I think they're not. Matt takes forever to gather his courage. He'd flirt with her every now and then though so she most probably would know about his feelings))

Leon:
I smiled and kissed her one more time, "I have to go to the pier for a new shipment. If I don't leave right now, we'll get there when it's too busy. But ... " I added before another kiss, "I'll take you out for lunch."

Matt:
"Not too long. How was it?" I asked getting up.

Diana:
I missed him too much... Like too too too much. I started another kiss after we broke the first one before finally replying, "I just got here, but it seemed awesome." I really was proud of him. Placing my hand into my purse, I took out a couple photos from the photoshoot, "These are before the effects and editing."

((Dustin it is :) ))
Charlie:
I was quiet for a few seconds almost falling back to sleep only for my mind to suddenly register what she said. I literally jumped out of bed and fell over. "Not again!!"
I held the alarm clock in my hand and shook it as if strangling it, "Why?! You! WHY!?!"

Leon:
"Looking forward to it." I said getting away with one more kiss before finally leaving the house.

Matt:
"Well, since we've both been studying very hard and we have a couple more days before the next ones, I was thinking we could go out? Maybe a movie and dinner?"

Diana:
"Yeah. I'm super hungry." I admitted sheepishly. "I skipped lunch to come and see you acting."

Aletha:
It was impossible to sleep in anymore. With two young kids running around the castle, every single inhabitant of the castle knew that when these two got up, no one was getting any more sleep. Period.

Both Dustin and Lillie jumped on top of us and I sat up trying to shush them to try and buy Denise some more time in dream land. 'Hey hey. Shhhh. Daddy is sleeping." I whispered before getting up holding Dustin under one arm and trying to convince Lillie to follow me outside.

I wasn't even going to bother to put on a robe. If I wait one more second, they will wake up Denise.

Aletha:
I smiled a bit at his response but felt guilty. "See? Daddy is upset. Now follow me, you two. Quietly." I said firmly but gently.
Lillie pouted a bit looking at Denise before giving him a quick kiss on the cheek and following me ashamed. That tone did wonders ... at times. Even Dustin calmed down in my arms and stopped fussing around.

Jokingly, I told Denise mentally, "If you want us, we'll be in the dungeon having breakfast with the rats."


Charlie:
"Bre... Oh breakfast!" I was going to leave the room with no clothes on, but came back and grabbed some sweatpants and put them on. I paused to say to her, "I. Hate. Mornings" and with that, I was off to the kitchen.

Seeing that I was still sleepy, I was on auto-mode. Everything was just cooking itself without much attention from me. It helped being a professional chef, I could cook in my sleep.


Diana:
"I know." I said with a sigh. "I didn't wanna miss another scene, that's all."


Matt:
"Sounds like a plan!" I said before asking, "So how about you let me be a gentleman and carry your backpack? Looks heavy."

Matt:
I froze for a second when she said that but quickly recovered myself, "I wonder how you're going to live without me when I graduate."

Aletha:
"So, we don't have to go to the dungeon, my king?" I asked jokingly. "I mean, it's no place for your highness."

Charlie:
"..." I took a deep breath before washing my hands to just take it off completely and throwing it away. "There, better."

Diana:
"It's not the same. I don't know... Anyways, let's go have some food before I eat you."

Aletha:
I smiled and placed Dustin down to grab my robe. We weren't in a hurry anymore and I'd rather not have everyone in the castle see my night gown. Taking Denise's hand, I led them to our chamber's kitchenette. Denise had them create a small one for our chambers for when I liked to cook. Which was always. I preferred making the kids' food and didn't trust anyone else with that. Especially not with what was going around.

We couldn't quite stop the rebellion in time and the group that liked what was going on joined it causing a lot of commotion. Things seemed to quiet down a bit over the last couple years, but ... that worried me personally.

"Soooo eggs?"

Matt:
"So you're not gonna miss me?" I asked teasingly.

Charlie:
"uhuh ... have to protect milady." I said as I flipped the pancakes in the air.

Diana:
I couldn't help but blush ... even after what ... five years? "Your fans tried to storm the studio by the way." I said as we got out of the back door.

Diana:
"or maybe someone is getting more popular." I said with a smile. "People are excited about this new movie."

Charlie:
"Well, I am trying, but ... I need someone to train me."

Aletha:
I helped the kids settle down at the table before turning to the matter at hand. "How would you like them, Denise?"

Matt:
"Oh really now? I am hurt." I said not letting it really get to me.

Matt:
"Yeah I can't live without it anymore. I'm addicted." I said chuckling.

Aletha:
"Scrambled, I guess." I said as I started making the eggs. I kinda missed the more playful Denise. It hurt at times to not feel him as passionate about me as he was before, because I still loved him madly. At times, a glimpse of his fire would be back, but before I knew it was gone.

And Dan didn't make things any easier. He reminded me every time we met that he still loves me. When he first found out I was pregnant with Dustin, he ... left. Just left for about two months. No texts, no calls, no nothing, but then he came back more persistent than ever. He wouldn't say out loud not after promising Denise not to, but his actions spoke for themselves.

Charlie:
"Oh come on. I need to learn. Heartley, I'm not going to get captured again." I said referring to Denise's incident.

Diana:
"How many weeks do you have left again?"

Charlie:
"Yeah..." I said pouting a bit as I placed the pancakes on the plates. "I... well... I still should try, though, right?"

Aletha:
His question broke me out of my trance, "Huh? Where to?"

Matt:
I opened the door for my car for her then opened the back door to put both of our backpacks in the back.
"Well... I'd still want to go out ... like ... "

Diana:
"And after that we take a break?"

Charlie:
'Just ... forget about this, okay? Let's just enjoy breakfast." I said giving her a kiss on the cheek before taking the plates to the table.

Diana:
"I've been looking forward to this for a while now." I said smiling brightly.

Matt:
"Well... I've been thinking..." I said as we started driving.

Aletha:
Lillie looked up from the glass of milk she was drinking and exclaimed, "Yeah! Wanna go with daddy!!"
It was kinda hard to see her going through training already, but ... knowing our family, she needed to. Denise had always been very careful and gently with our kids so ... I had to trust him. "Under one condition, that you listen to every word Daddy says carefully."

((I think they'd have had the baby and knowing Eric most probably he still is in their lives. Maybe not too happy but ... Eric is like a tamer Charlie. Not sure if I ever introduced him properly. He has a very high sense of responsibility and will keep that above all else -- including his own happiness. That's why he was so willing to risk his own life to bring his mother back.))

Diana:
"not really. it always looks different in the end with all the editing, but ... I get to see acting live. I don't know ... I love seeing you like that."

Matt:
"Well... we've known each other for ... a few years now ... and well ... " Oh great. Way to go Mr. Attorney. What happened to being the talkative one. "I... Well .... "

Charlie:
"Weeeeell I wouldn't mind per seeee." I said before chuckling. "I wouldn't be as fit as I am right now though."

Aletha:
"I know... I trust you..." I said smiling at his kiss and forgetting all about the food I was making. "Denise ..."

((lol. Charlie is very similar if you can't tell. Only difference is Charlie could suddenly go nuts and take matter into his own hands and do something.))

Matt:
I appreciated the fact that she didn't interrupt me. I was having a very hard time as is. "I... really like you Monica. Like really like you ... and ... I've developed  ... romantic feelings for you."

Charlie:
"I know. I wanna hit him." I said matter-of-factly.

Diana:
"Yeah ... I guess it's going both ways... I think that's why we've been missing each other more. I mean ... our schedules have been a bit weird this last month."

Aletha:
"I missed you..." I whispered shuddering a bit. Thankfully the kids were not paying us much attention as Lillie was showing Dustin something. "We haven't ... had any time alone lately."
