373 The Watcher Watches: Bébé & Beau Lothario ~~ Watching Beau ? The Poop Hits The Fan! ~~
Sunday Afternoon.
Beau and Lani have stopped slow dancing and Beau initiates an amorous hug. He really likes her.

Lani and Beau keep up their flirting...
This does not go unnoticed by Bonnie!
She stops and observes them.

"Why is Beau flirting with her?! I thought I made it clear to Lani that that fine boy was Mine! I claimed him first!" Many thoughts are going through Bonnie's head, including her sense of entitlement!
She is mad at Beau, but she has certain thoughts and plans. And she has the advantage over both of them as she is a flirt and therefore much more aggressive/assertive romantically.

Bonnie's steps forward, and she makes Beau turn to look at her, initiating the angry woo! :o
Beau is just ignorant and inexperienced, so he goes along with everything. And doesn't realize it makes him seem selfish or uncaring.
Watcher doesn't know for sure what he does want because the boy won't make any wishes to show me, all I can go on are his actions and thought bubbles! He is still thinking of Lani!

Bonnie grabs for Beau. Beau's action of listening to Lani's flirtatious joke now gets pre-empted! Now his action is changed to woo with Bonnie, And right after to listen to Lani's flirtatious joke! Uh-Oh!
https://i.imgur.com/GPvlBoG.jpg
Lani doesn't like this situation, and it doesn't look like Beau does either, well I mean his face doesn't look totally gung ho about going off with Bonnie.
He looks a bit worried.
Finally some conscience?

Ah, yes. Beau feels like garbage. The horrors of not being able to say no! Now Lani is mad at him too!?
Lani doesn't let him go right away to Bonnie. ''Beau, before you go, I just want to say,... I'm not giving up on you!"
Yep, Bonnie makes a stand, she wants him too.
Well I think Beau likes this idea because it seems like he really does prefer Lani.

Beau can't seem to extricate himself from this action with Bonnie, so he obediently goes to the bed...He doesn't look very happy about it.
Lawdy I really hate and don't understand Bonnie or Beau's baffling behavior.
And I fear someone is going to get hurt.
They jump out of bed before the woo music even stops.

And Bonnie watches him leave the room immediately, to go talk with Lani.
Ouch! girl I don't know why you both put up with him!
https://i.imgur.com/HvcHdhd.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/IBf6lB1.jpg
"Lani I'm sorry, I don't even know why I did that.
I just got comfortable to even talking to girls, and now with you both ... I really don't know how to handle it... All I know is I like You!''
"Well, Beau, we are all 3 new to romance, none of us are experts. Maybe we just have to feel our way, and see how things turn out, learning from our mistakes? My Mom always said go for what you want and if I really don't want something, to say No."
Beau thinks that sounds very wise.

Behind them is Bonnie, planning on her next love tactic! She will ask Beau to watch the stars with her tonight!
Watcher tries to plant a new mantra in her head "dump the dawg!" but it doesn't work.
I feel sick dreading that someone will get hurt!
https://i.imgur.com/58nzSe3.jpg
"Beau, I still think you are so nice and handsome. I really do like you."
"I like you so much too, Lani! We are a match, on fire!" says Beau.
In the background Bonnie is getting angry thoughts about Beau again.
poor thing.

But Beau and Lani are in their own little love bubble and don't seem to notice her.

https://i.imgur.com/P9pdXAw.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/aGnMj8v.jpg
Bonnie is very persistant and comes up with another tactic, and it makes Beau turn around to look at her.
Beau has 'receive flowers' in his actions.

https://i.imgur.com/xskL2UO.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/l0xd3g9.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/Mfe2NxE.jpg
Beau finally has had it with her interruptions of his love mood with Lani! He makes a choice, and refuses Bonnie's flowers.
"Please just stop it, Bonnie! I'm sorry but it's actually very upsetting to have you interrupt me and Lani all the time!" Beau does not yet have the experience or finesse to choose better words.
He is upset, he never has said anything mean in his life. He feels bad.
And poor Bonnie! Her disappointed face is so sad.

Beau gets a wish to ask Bonnie to 'just be friends'. Hopefully this will improve the situation! ?
"Bonnie, you are a nice girl, but it would be better if we could just be friends, You deserve someone who will love you for you. And I'm sorry but I just don't feel that way about you."
https://i.imgur.com/cYue0D0.jpg
Rut-Ro! ? Bonnie is taking it like a huge breakup! As if they had been committed for years instead of just romantic interests for one day.
Poor thing, she feels her heart is broken. Even though she never thought of the red love hearts about Beau.
Lani can't help feeling pleased that Beau is finally doing something about this messy triangle!
https://i.imgur.com/889aTQx.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/iN1mX4W.jpg
Bonnie suddenly gets very Mad! "You are the meanest boy alive, Beau Lothario! You broke my heart even though I was fine with sharing you with Lani!" shouts Bonnie.
"OMG!" thinks Beau, horrified that he made her so hurt and so mad!
https://i.imgur.com/1gv25lR.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/gieURtD.jpg
Beau feels so bad he broke her heart and tries to console Bonnie.
https://i.imgur.com/PhHaa9s.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/ocx64Za.jpg
But to no avail, Bonnie is too mad to be consoled! "You big poopyhead, Beau!! I'm going to tell Everybody at school what a mean boy you are! Even the teachers!"
https://i.imgur.com/e6mEY2s.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/ThxC8jZ.jpg
"I'm sorry Bonnie, I didn't mean to hurt you, really. I would never want to hurt anyone. I'm sorry!"
https://i.imgur.com/TAEqJ1s.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/Ldoaw2Q.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/7UilghL.jpg
Bonnie takes some deep breaths. A bit calmed down now, Bonnie is able to listen to his apology.
https://i.imgur.com/x9Dku1b.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/Y09kC1t.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/wyMoh1X.jpg
Bonnie finally decides to accept his apology, and miraculously his wish of being friends again, is granted. I don't even know how this happens! That makes no sense!
https://i.imgur.com/3tPw4zB.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/BXAQKsz.jpg
Both are calm now and looking at each other. Watcher hears warning bells, steps in, and gets him the heck out of Dodge, before his lover-boy eyes and pheromones get him in trouble again!
Bonnie just might try to grab him again! And I am beyond taking any more of this!
https://i.imgur.com/0J0OfEd.jpg
Beau goes to the one man who knows ALL about this kind of thing!
"Dad! Dad, the most horrible thing Ever just happened!" confesses Beau. ''I think I might need your protection! Bonnie is still a bit mad and feels very hurt by me! I didn't know I was being careless, by going along with her wishes. I'm not sure how all this works! Girls are Very confusing, grabbing me for woo even when they are angry with me! ?? I just don't get it Dad!
And now Bonnie is going to tell everyone at school that I'm a mean big poop head!"
https://i.imgur.com/zIgo1xf.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/4Pj7Sxe.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/1YFNBQU.jpg
"Yes, I saw you getting yourself in quite the situation, Beau. As for your reputation at school, you will have to just try to bear it and maybe by making different choices, you can prove that 'mean poop head' isn't you after all. It will take time, son.
"Sometimes a parent has to step aside and let you learn your own lessons. I thought that this experience would be a much better teacher than just my mere words." says Danny.
https://i.imgur.com/m5WtzFR.jpg
"But, but, Dad! It's not Fair for me to get that reputation! I never pursued or chose Bonnie, she just grabbed Me! And then we were all of a sudden RI! Then, when I tried to talk with Lani, Bonnie came and interrupted and grabbed me again, right in front of Lani, and would not stop doing that!" says Beau.
"That right Beau, the flirty girls can be very aggressive and persuasive! It may seem like a dream at the time, but can get you in deep trouble, causing all sorts of havoc and bonding before you're ready." says Danny.
https://i.imgur.com/MUpBjBi.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/wc8ig8x.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/aiOcPYB.jpg
"And Beau, I believe you. I did see that you never pursued Bonnie, but you went along with it! NeverMind that she was totally blinded that she was the sole aggressor, and that you were actually pursuing Lani. BUT, If you continue 'going along with it' , you Will cause hurt feelings!
There is No Way around your 'Romantic Interests' acting like a girlfriend or a Wife even! Believe me, I spent years trying to find a way..." says Danny, referring to when he was Don.
''No son, In this town you need to either live as a Monk, Or be a cold and uncaring playboy who only thinks of himself, Or just go ahead and choose someone to commit to!" Danny pretty much lays it on the line, that is exactly how this town works.
"Teen passions are intense, so just try to think with your Brain ... uh, well, I mean just think before you act, use good sense, son, and mind your manners!"

https://i.imgur.com/iFeAomJ.jpg
Beau thinks he understands what his Dad means, "Ok Dad, I'll be more careful of the girls feelings, for sure. I sure don't like knowing that I hurt someone."
Beau pauses thinking about everything that happened and all those affected by it, the love interests, his family and all those at the house.
He wonders, ''Was that what Bébé wanted to talk to me about? ... OMG? Does Mom know?!!!'' Beau thinks all horrified, and blanches.
"Dad? um.. can you please not tell Mom about this, I'd be so embarrassed if she found out!"
https://i.imgur.com/wXxyZb1.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/rZsKFDq.jpg
Danny smiles as Beau is talking, he knows Beau doesn't want his Mom to think poorly of him!
"Beau, your Mother is very aware. She has lived through something similar with me, I'm sorry to say. But your Mom is wonderful and kind and forgiving, and she loves you with all her heart.'' says Danny,
"She is just glad that there aren't even More complications! It was tough for us to watch you go through this experience, without butting in, but now you have learned something important. And nothing you ever do will stop us from loving you!"
Beau feels very comforted, hearing how much his parents love him.

Danny loves his son beyond words. He is very glad that Beau did not inherit even One of his old traits. Beau is a son of a Lothario in name, but he's a nice boy, and has nice traits.
Danny thinks everything will work out for his son, he just needs a bit more experience and a lot more wisdom, he is young.
''Beau will have a much easier and less tumultuous life than I have lived! Thank Goddess for that!" Danny thinks.
