I decided to document the lives of generation 2 of my Masterson Family in their own thread, mainly so I could keep all their updates in one place. Who They Are The title is pretty much self-exp...
Xanthe's Story Chapter One: The Baking Club Narrated by (of course) Xanthe Masterson
Ahh, my first time in chef's whites. All the hard work at university was worth it. I'd also be seeing Erytheia again... the fact that we now lived apart made very little practical difference in our lives, as we'd be seeing each other at work and likely all the time outside work, too.

The city council had recently decided that we should all try and live a more eco-friendly lifestyle, and had instigated "Neighbourhood Action Plans". Every week, we could vote on a new initiative. I was definitely intrigued by the 'Foodies Unite' one, as well as the one about the creative arts.

I had set up a baking club, and decided to host the inaugural meeting at the Piece of Cake Bakery in Magnolia Promenade on New Year's Eve. I went to greet the only male member of the club. "Hey there, my name's Xanthe and I'm the club leader," I said. "Oh, hello. My name's Logan Chase," he replied. "Nice to meet you. I hope you'll have fun at Baking Mad meetings," I smiled.
"Hmmm... I'm beginning to realise that holding club meetings at a working bakery probably wasn't the greatest idea," I said to Erytheia as she sat opposite me. "Yeah... we're not going to be able to get much done," she agreed. I took out my phone and looked for a suitable alternative. The other club members agreed, and we soon left Piece of Cake Bakery.

Luckily I found an ideal location in Newcrest. It seemed well-equipped, and I immediately set about making fudge bars.

Back at home, I decided to move out and live on my own. As much as I loved my parents, it was probably a little odd to live with them for the rest of my life. The flat was small and quite sparsely furnished, but it was only a starter place after all.
Celebrating the New Year on my own sounded a little miserable, so I decided to see if Logan wanted to come over. My twin would have been the obvious choice, but I decided she could celebrate with her husband, and I wanted to get to know Logan better. He was pretty good-looking...

After waiting for a while, I guessed that he might be at the Romance Festival that was being held outside. "Hey! How are you?" I asked. "I'm doing well, thank you," he replied. He seemed a little nervous, but who wasn't when they met a new person? The romantic atmosphere wasn't helping matters, either. "Do you live round here?" I asked. "No, I live in Willow Creek. What about you?" "Yeah, I was born and bred here in San Myshuno. My sister's here too, with her husband." "Oh, is she the one who was wearing the red version of your coat? You look similar. "Yeah, we're twins. She's Erytheia." "Ah. I'm an only child, myself."

"Umm... can I have your number?" Logan asked, once we'd gone to a quieter area. "Of course!" I said, feeling a frisson of excitement. Did he think I was attractive? Could this be the start of something? I sent him a text, and added his name to my contact list. "I've always had a weakness for redheads," he confessed. "Maybe that's silly, given my own hair, but..." "Say no more," I grinned. "Both my parents are redheads, and my sister's husband has ginger locks too. Maybe it's a family thing."
