Kirkendall 1 - Round 8

Looking for Love
Last time Temperance and Metro continued raising their sons, Marius and Javert. Marius grew to a ten and Javert grew to a child. Meanwhile Navy's brother and his wife, Sariss, continued raising their son, Daniel. Daniel also grew to a teen and both teens called on the Gypsy Matchmaker for dates. Despite all the dating, both boys went off to college single. Marius has since married Monet Simmers and is living with her. Daniel has returned and is still single.
 
 Rachel: Welcome home Daniel!
Daniel: Oh yeah, hi.
Rachel: What's wrong?
Daniel: Here I am back from college and I haven't ever been in love.
Rachel: I'm sorry. Hopefully you can find someone soon.
Daniel: Hi Aunt Temperance. Oh, uh, I never noticed...
Rachel: Nooo!!!! 
 Rachel: Yes, hire the matchmaker. Good.
 Rachel: How much did you spend?
Daniel: Uh, like $100
Rachel: Oh dear.
 Prof. Ryan: Video games? Really? No, I don't like video games!
 Daniel: Lalala, I can't hear you!
 Daniel: How about a hug?
Prof. Ryan: Get away from me.
Rachel: I guess you get what you pay for.
 Daniel: I need to find a job anyway. *looks on the computer* Nope no good jobs today. *sigh* I guess I'll try again.
 Rachel: That's promising.
 Rachel: Jackie Burton, she looks nice.
Me: And she's from the Fellowship 2 (thanks to ASimWen for looking that up for me)
Rachel: What are you talking about? Fellowship? And are you talking about Wen?
Me: Never mind.
 Daniel: So hey, do you like baseball? I like baseball. Do you want to play catch? 
 Rachel: This looks promising.
  
Rachel: Awe. So cute. Daniel, ask her to move in.
Jackie: Look at the time. I'll see you again, I hope.
Daniel: Hold on Rachel, I will. This was just our first date. Let's at least have a second one first.
Rachel: OK fine.
 Rachel:  Good job Metro
Rachel: Wooh! Nice Temperance! 
Rachel: Makeover time! I really like this look for you Metro!
Metro: Thanks! Me too. 
 Rachel: Daniel, you look so grown up.
Daniel: Thanks! Jackie's coming over soon. I want her to take me seriously and I don't think the bandanna was really getting that across.
Rachel: Agreed. The glasses help too. So are you going to ask Jackie to move in?
Daniel: We'll see how the date goes but I hope so.
 Metro: What's that?
Rachel: Ut oh... Get inside!
Metro: That can't be... 
 Rachel: Don't you remember what happened to your uncle (by marriage) Bronx?
 Metro: Huh?
 
 Metro: Ahhh!!!!!
*Several hours go by*
 Rachel: Oh Metro, I'm so happy you're back!
 Metro: Oh, what? What happened?
 Metro: I remember!!!!
 Rachel: Oh Metro, I'm so sorry. No one wanted this to happen.
Metro: *sniff* Thanks.
*Several hours pass*
 Rachel: Good job Metro. Are you doing better?
Metro: A little. I think everything will be fine. No long lasting effects.
Me; Yeahhhhh...
 *note, I swapped the names on the photo*
Rachel: Oh hey Navy. Hey Javert! 
Both: Hey.
Rachel: Looks like the candy making paying off. 
Rachel: Oh for both of them. Cool. 
 Daniel: How about a back rub.
Jackie: You're so great!
Daniel: You're the best! Do you want to move in?
Jackie: Yes! Wait, I can't seem to. I don't understand. 
Me: I do.
 Rachel: What?
 Rachel: Awe, bye Samantha. I don't understand. What is going on?
 Rachel: Ohhhh! Same thing as happened to Bronx.
Metro: Yeah, I remember now.
 Daniel: Hey honey!
 Daniel: Welcome to your new home!
 Me: Nope.
Rachel: Nice job Navy.
Navy: Thanks. Concentrating. 
 Rachel: Temperance is in the zone!
Temperance: Thanks for letting me in your club! 
 Rachel: Jackie, that hairdo looks fantastic on you.
Jackie: Thank you Rachel.
 Rachel: I think Daniel likes it too.
 Rachel: Looks like you're making the most of your time off.
 Rachel: Looks like Daniel finally found a job. 
 Me: I really didn't know a dream could trigger excitement for an interest.
