54 The Watcher Watches: The Families The title always makes me laugh, remembering Peter Sellers, in the movie 'Being There', say to Shirley MacLaine "I like to watch" ! :D Wel...
282 The Watcher Watches: Emelie & Waylan ~~ Aziz ~~
"Izzy, darling, Mama and Daddy are going to get married today! There will be a party with our friends and some of your friends too, and a big Cake!" says Mama. https://i.imgur.com/aLVMPzx.jpg
"I want a celebration cake for me, too!" says Izzy. https://i.imgur.com/LduvY9h.jpg
"But honey, we don't know when you'll age up. You are so very special, there is no way anyone can know that date, it might be a long time from now." says Daddy, feeling very badly that his little sweetie never got to have a birthday cake. Each of Izzy's aging was always such a surprise to everyone. https://i.imgur.com/w07DDtu.jpg https://i.imgur.com/amm8uRw.jpg
"It is today, Papa! Can we hurry and get a cake please, before the birthday magic starts happening? I feel it coming!" say Izzy. https://i.imgur.com/v1gP02o.jpg
"Oh! Oh! Hurry everyone! Gather around for our sweet Izzy!" says Emelie, startled that this is happening so very quickly! In her mind she is going over her Mommy Check List: all the child skills were taught? yes. All the field trips completed? yes. Izzy made friends with the kids and teachers? yes. Is Izzy on the honor roll? yes! 'But having my child be so close in age to my own? Well never mind, it can't be helped! It is what it is! Where is the dam Cake?' https://i.imgur.com/rWROqYy.jpg
Izzy and Daddy share a laugh at dear Mama trying to hustle to get everything just right. Everyone is happy to celebrate the only birthday party for Izzy that they were ever prepared for! https://i.imgur.com/Pmnfuy6.jpg https://i.imgur.com/N5w9533.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ip2SHbh.jpg
''Wait! Izzy don't you want your friends here, honey?" asks Daddy "hahaha No Daddy, I like to be private!" says Izzy, and all are relieved! https://i.imgur.com/cebAzIy.jpg
Izzy makes a special wish for inner courage, and blows out the candles! https://i.imgur.com/LPWNk3d.jpg https://i.imgur.com/t2hKasR.jpg https://i.imgur.com/iHOhdkK.jpg
And the birthday magic begins! ''TaDaaa!'' says the sweet teen, hoping all will approve. https://i.imgur.com/8lIAIR3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/wzAwys5.jpg
Chad had been holding his breath. Then all at once his breath is taken away, Izzy looks like the sweet gentle Izzy in his dreams! Yay! https://i.imgur.com/nTOc4DC.jpg https://i.imgur.com/KMI8qHt.jpg
Time for cake, and Waylan looks with love to his child, not noticing that he was interrupting a secret whispered argument. Waylan starts a jolly conversation with his darling Emelie, about what a great day it is, that there will be lots of celebrating all day long! https://i.imgur.com/Or0oyBX.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Azsd2v6.jpg
Suddenly, Izzy feels strange! "May I pleased be excused!?!" "Of course darling!" says Mama. and Izzy runs from the table to the back yard, stressed. https://i.imgur.com/7P04AVe.jpg
A savage thundering Howl is heard, and those not brave, collapse in fear. Chad is so scared he passes out! When he comes to, his first thought is Izzy, he runs to the back yard to find and protect, afraid for the dear one his heart beats for. https://i.imgur.com/KVRXZUl.jpg
But outside, a strange metamorphosis has changed the Birthday Teen! https://i.imgur.com/IIdg2qB.jpg https://i.imgur.com/UziUnva.jpg https://i.imgur.com/RpFy1ie.jpg https://i.imgur.com/egaUfMh.jpg
"Izzy?" https://i.imgur.com/NL5R4vg.jpg
"You look .... different!" says Chad, very confused. https://i.imgur.com/9i2Gwg1.jpg
"In this form, I go by my given name, Aziz, not Izzy. This is what I was trying to explain to you Chad, but you didn't listen to me! This is my wolf form, my female form." She continues "This is why I didn't want you professing your love to me, not when you didn't know all of me, it wouldn't be fair to either of us. '' ''I know your gender preference is male...you talk in your sleep, btw." Aziz says with a wry smile. https://i.imgur.com/5svr0qX.jpg https://i.imgur.com/SThA2Dc.jpg
Chad stares at her a long time. "Sorry about talking in my sleep, I didn't mean to! I never meant to freak you out, or think I was gross. I can't help the way I feel." "It's ok Chad, I never felt like it was gross. It was actually nice and kind of comforting to hear. To be so loved, especially when compared to some of the whispers I overheard from a few others around town---now that is what I consider gross, and mean, too." "I'm sorry you felt that, Aziz." says Chad, then he doesn't know what to say "Well you have very nice hair and fur too, Aziz, it's very um, shiny!" says Chad "hehe thanks." https://i.imgur.com/TlEgUP3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Hko7XP1.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xrOjS80.jpg
Then all of a sudden the awkward bubble pops and it is just like how it has always been, easy and nice, and fun. Friends goofing around. https://i.imgur.com/IZI4Inh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/vmm8kwZ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/21h94kT.jpg
Chad wants to try something. "Can I kiss you, Aziz?" "Okay." https://i.imgur.com/K43gxvE.jpg
"hm. It's going to take me awhile to get used to you like this, Aziz." says Chad. "Yes, I know. I'm still trying to figure myself out, too. I can't carry you, Chad, you'll have to figure it out on your own. But I'd like to stay close friends." "Me too. I do love you, Aziz, I feel it so strongly, and you are my destiny." "That's good. Love is always good. I love you too, but it's like the love you feel for your closest friend." and they both smile. https://i.imgur.com/xKRcqZE.jpg
Meanwhile, Grandpa comes to talk about possessions with Aziz. (btw, No one else in the family thinks it's strange in the slightest that Aziz is presenting as a transformed werewolf female now! The family is just accepting of everything!) Tristan gets to level 10 in guitar, Tula gets to level 9 in athletics, Waylan gets a wish for another baby, before he is even married, and Emelie is dressed for her wedding and very happily plans the event! https://i.imgur.com/VgvPYqY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xEJ80tF.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8z3R8jg.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8elF4fk.jpg https://i.imgur.com/7mVoLJt.jpg
It is time for the Wedding! Ayden tells everyone to Formalize and get in the car! When they reach the fairgrounds, he becomes aware that some teens didn't heed his requirement for formal dress! This is highly improper! "Attention Please! Tula! Formalize!" "Aziz! come to Grandfather darling." Ayden can detect that Aziz is stressed, this will not do for the child's parent's Wedding! https://i.imgur.com/psBvD5W.jpg https://i.imgur.com/uXqXWnC.jpg https://i.imgur.com/PagVfhj.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ni5jZgF.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xfNzVJA.jpg
Ayden hypnotizes Aziz to be in a very serene and calm state. At once the stressed feeling leaves and with it the werewolf form! https://i.imgur.com/NLuJOVm.jpg https://i.imgur.com/MGEvUzp.jpg https://i.imgur.com/pNsO5Om.jpg
"There, now that's better! You look very calm and quite properly dapper, Izzy! A most handsome and sophisticated Vampire!" says Grandfather Ayden. https://i.imgur.com/so4Asfd.jpg https://i.imgur.com/vNXTc6k.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LVsRir3.jpg
The wedding guests start arriving. Cabana looking nice as ever! https://i.imgur.com/qe7mm7g.jpg
"Hi Emelie Hi Waylan! " says Bastian. But the wedding couple only have eyes for each other! <3 https://i.imgur.com/yZlbHoV.jpg
Ayden finds someone new to flirt with, Rosalinda. To the left of Ayden, is Makihana, the Island boy, a school friend of the teens. And of course Tulip, Dante's wife, with the pink hair and dress. Ayden is multitasking, welcoming Tulip while giving flowers to Rosalinda.? https://i.imgur.com/CdwWikf.jpg https://i.imgur.com/jlU2Om0.jpg https://i.imgur.com/k9bZEnB.jpg
Chad finds Izzy "You look really handsome in your formal clothes, Izzy!"? Ah. Izzy & Chad are romantically attracted to each other when Izzy presents in his more male form. But not when Izzy presents as Aziz, his werewolf and more female form. At those times they have best friend love. https://i.imgur.com/YfZJ4gg.jpg https://i.imgur.com/aENauGe.jpg
Emelie and Waylan get ready to say "I do!" "Everyone is here, and Dante is already crying. We best start, Wolfie." says Emelie, smiling at him. "I am so ready, LieLie!" says Waylan. https://i.imgur.com/XVjDRen.jpg https://i.imgur.com/JE1z1Ex.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Ft7w0zW.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3RFlqgw.jpg https://i.imgur.com/RIPHjNo.jpg
Mr and Mrs Wolff! <3 https://i.imgur.com/AmaUmGv.jpg https://i.imgur.com/aCpwij3.jpg
Tristan falls apart seeing his sister now married! He is so happy for them! That is little Ace, He came with Dante, Tulip and their youngest, Tana. https://i.imgur.com/amPzO9h.jpg https://i.imgur.com/qWkgTqW.jpg
Ayden holds back tears, and throws rice. His little girl is married now. https://i.imgur.com/seCA7VQ.jpg
Dante and Tulip share a look of love over the heads of Luc and his girlfriend, Leelu. https://i.imgur.com/cJmhLJI.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ZAZgHLU.jpg https://i.imgur.com/dKTI3lT.jpg
Waylan and Emelie are very sweet together. https://i.imgur.com/Dba3XLs.jpg https://i.imgur.com/B8ujCrv.jpg https://i.imgur.com/9ML2fXA.jpg
Tana and Ace play chess, while Tristan serenades the crowd with his sweet music. https://i.imgur.com/uRXoL3d.jpg https://i.imgur.com/lDyC1F9.jpg
Emelie had spoken to Dayvid who was sad, that Branch was detained. She invites Branch again, to enjoy the reception. Branch has just arrived, so happy not to have missed the fun, after all! https://i.imgur.com/PbusE9u.jpg https://i.imgur.com/G3q2QhP.jpg https://i.imgur.com/GWNbBEj.jpg
"Thank you Emelie!" says Branch "I would have been sad to miss all of this fun!" https://i.imgur.com/drGGhgT.jpg https://i.imgur.com/JVTIMFE.jpg
Everyone is having such a good time! Alfred plays catch with Joy. Dante, Bastian and Izzy have a hot dog contest. Bastian wins! Joy is a very good athlete even though her arms are so slender. She is Alfie's daughter, the one who loves babies. https://i.imgur.com/EmQSVtR.jpg https://i.imgur.com/w9RkGcM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/KEJCdVQ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/HVGch52.jpg https://i.imgur.com/x2qCk5r.jpg
As the party winds down, Cabana Boi is so inspired by Tristan's music, he decides to learn guitar himself! He sounds terrible but he is having fun! That's all that matters! :) https://i.imgur.com/dea441H.jpg
