Ribeiro 1 - Round 9

Now That's A Bad Date
Last time on Lost natural twins, Sayid and Alex worked on making friends with neighborhood kids even before growing from toddlers to children. Their older brother, Desmond, was there too but we really didn't see him much.
Rachel: Congrats Max! What a great way to start the week.
Rachel: You too Ralph!
Desmond: Yes!
Rachel: Great news all around! Congrats!
Rachel: Wow. Nice going Jessie!
Desmond: Welcome home Daddy.
Jessie: You too buddy.
Rachel: Nice going Sun!
Rachel: Sun! Such a lovely smokey eye! And the hair is similar but it's a nice update.
Sun: Thank you Rachel. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm very tired.
Rachel: I've never seen someone sleep in the hammock. I guess she was too tired to make it upstairs.
Rachel: Good job Xuan.
Rachel: Welcome home Renee. Renee? Renee?
Rachel: Oh no! Renee!
Rachel: Good bye good girl!
Rachel: Awe, all the dogs are sad too.
Rachel: Nice.
Rachel: Congrats on the A+ Sayid!
Sayid: Thanks!
Rachel: Wow, great going Sun! Hopefully this means the rest of the week will be good.
Rachel: And it's studying time!
Rachel: For Alex too!
Rachel: Happy Birthday Ralph!
Rachel: Yes! Three for three on the A+s! 
Jessie: Wooh!! Atta girl!
Rachel: It's all of Aimee and Xuan's daughters!
Me: Yeah turns out they don't know each other very well. I figured they should spend some time together.
Rachel: And now Aimee's out there too.
Rachel: Happy Birthday Desmond!
Rachel: I think you need to head to the salon but first, what do you want in life?
Desmond: I'd like to be popular.
Desmond: And I think being a Hall of Famer would be the best way to do that.
Rachel: Cool.
Rachel: Very handsome. We can see your eyes now.
Desmond: Oh wow, my best friend Piccolo is gorgeous!
Rachel:See if she likes you too.
Rachel: I think she does.





Rachel: They are officially a match.
Aimee: Oh Piccolo, I'm so happy you're dating my grandson. I always thought there was something special between the two of you.
Piccolo: Thanks Mrs. Ribeiro. 

Rachel: Opps.
Rachel: Congrats Jessie! Yeah, this week really has turned around.
Desmond: What's that over there Grandma?
Rachel: Oh no, the other way to know if some is mean is if they cheat at chess. Oh but Piccolo does too so I guess they are a good match.
Rachel: I mean, that's what I'd do.
Rachel: Nice.
Rachel: Awe Jessie gets a hug and poor Xuan just waves hello.
Sayid: Oh Gandma, you're the best!
Aimee: I love you too Sayid.
Sayid: Grandma? What's wrong? Grandma!
Rachel: Oh no! That could really mess poor Sayid up.
Rachel: Aimee leaves behind her sister Abigail, her husband Xuan, 8 children, 20 grand kids, 11 great grand kids and 1 great, great grand kid.
Rachel: I'm so sorry Sun and Alex. I know it will get better.
Rachel: What are you doing Piccolo?
Piccolo: I brought Desmond a gift because we had such a great date!
Rachel: Wow a karaoke machine? That's one heck of a gift! 
Rachel: Sawyer! That's your nephew's gift! You do have a lovely voice. I had better tell Desmond to pack it up to take it to college and whatever house he ends up in.
Rachel: Awe, the twins are best friends now!
Rachel: Speaking of friends. Looks like the kids invited a bunch of friends and their siblings to get to know each other.
Rachel: Oh Sayid is friends with Sunshine.
Me: Yep and she's single.
Sayid: Don't die Sunshine.
Sunshine: What?
Sayid: Grandma swung me around and then she died.
Rachel: Oh honey, your grandma was very old. It was just her time.
Rachel: Sea Lion! That's rude and creepy!
Rachel: Water balloon fight bonding time.
Rachel: Oh no! Things were going so well at last! Thank goodness the rain will put out the fire.
Rachel: Happy Birthday Sayid!
Rachel: All right dude. What do you want in life?
Sayid: Simoleons! 
Sayid: And I'd really love to be a dancer!
Rachel:Cool.
Sayid: Sunshine is pretty.
Rachel: Hum, only one bolt. I wonder if there is a stronger match out there.
Rachel:Happy Birthday Alex!
Rachel: no surprise, you're beautiful!
Alex: I'd like pleasure in my life.
Alex: And I think it would be cool to be a professional party guest.
Rachel: That's doable.
Rachel: Hey it's Bunny Busto! We don't see her often!
Sayid: She's pretty too and she gives good back massages.
Rachel: We'll have to keep her in mind too.
Rachel: I love the new do Sayid!
Sayid: Thanks!
Rachel: Alex, that's a lovely look too.
Alex: Thanks!
Rachel: Alex, what are you doing?
Alex: I'm getting a date. All my boy friends are too young and I want a date.
Rachel: Makes sense. Have fun.
Rachel: Hum, I don't know this guy. He's cute.
*A few minutes pass. The date is going OK but not great.*
Rachel: What happened?
Alex: He was flirting with Phoenix!
Rachel: What, who started it?
Alex: I don't know.
Rachel: Hey! Stop slapping her! It's not Alex's fault!
Rachel: I'm so sorry Alex. That's a rough first date.
Rachel: You are a jerk sir!
Rachel: Oh Alex things are not going well for you right now. It will get better. I promise.
Rachel: Really? 
Rachel: She should leave you a flaming bag of poop!
Rachel: Wait, what happened now? Xuan?!?!? Xuan!?!?!
Rachel: Oh no Xuan died and everyone missed it because of stupid Marvin!
Rachel: This is sad. Goodbye Aimee. Goodbye Xuan. At least you are together again.
Rachel: Yeah, good idea kids, we should all get out of here before anything else bad happens. Congrats Desmond!
Rachel: Nice job Sayid!
Rachel: Good job Alex! See you in college!
Yeah this was rough. Losing two elders in one house in one week. One that was a founder and one that was a transplant from another simmer's blog. I miss them already. I'm not crying...
