Chapter 2 : Skyla Patterson and her imaginary friend


Lola and Skyla's friendship began to fizzle out as Sky spent more time with Squirt, her imaginary friend, and less with Lola. Lola's jealousy started to show as she would only let Sky play with her in their castle IF Squirt didn't play with them - poor Squirt.


As for Xavier, he couldn't finish his LTW as this lag happened each time he wished to travel - anywhere (believe me i tried everything it only worked when i moved nearly everyone out by the time Skyla had grown into a young adult) and so he went on to pursue other achievements such as finding a potion for Squirt.




The girls grew up and Lola sported a gothic look to match her rebellion against her sisters happiness.




Lola even accused Skyla of making their birthday all about her but Skyla quickly explained that this was not the case and that she loved her sister just as desperately as she wanted Squirt to be real.

Everyone could see that there was something stronger to Squirt and Skyla's relationship as they always thought about each other -NAWWW


As Xavier worked hard on finding the right chemical balance, Squirt often liked to check up on Xavier but of course, Xavier never knew. And then one day..




The balance was correct and Xavier surprised a very excited Skyla with the gift of eternal friendship.




Skyla raced to Squirt and asked if he wanted to be best friends forever (lol friend zoned) but he was not friend zoned for long after accepting Skyla's offer, Squirt began to transform and Skyla immediately became attracted to her best friend forever.


And I don't blame her, he truly was gorgeous with his bright aqua eyes, dark skin and amazing cheekbones. 



Lola's jealousy began to burn and was showing at school, so good older brother, Napoleon, gave his little sister a talking to about her attitude and new look in hope that when she matures this punk phase will be over. Oh and Nap got a hottie gf and had their first kiss by a waterfall then moved out shortly.



Xavier and Charlotte enjoyed breakfasts together as their kids went off to do teenage things, they loved these mornings of alone time and so when Xavier grew into an elder he was a bit unsure of himself and the future Charlotte and him shared.




A tradition began that at each of the Patterson's party a guest may die. Death began a creeper in the hallways and then violently stabbed the ghost taking him as his own - so what better way to end Xavier's birthday than talking about food amongst a campfire with his best friend and wife.



The Patterson's really have a thing for having beautiful backgrounds to their first kisses, here is where Squirt and Skyla first touched lips and agreed to go to Prom together. I forgot to take photos of prom because it happened so fast but much to everyones surprise, Lola was prom queen! Squirt and Skyla started going steady and Xavier made Squirt sleep in a seperate room from then on.


However, when the cats away the mice will play and Lola with her newfound popularity decided to throw a teen party. Squirt and Skyla were also rejoicing in their newfound relationship (maybe he will sneak into her bed this cheeky weekend....)


 Nope. Xavier came home and busted Skyla in her underwear.... (Squirt is desperately trying to fix the shower so that he will be let off the hook)


Charlotte the loving bookworm forced Lola and the others to read more 
often to improve their grades before graduation


And this happened everywhere.... of course though Charlotte would always accompany her kids by reading as well...


With Charlotte's encouragement everyone had made it on the honour roll and aged up terrifically, Skyla wanted to max out the charisma and guitar skill, Squirt to become a world renown surgeon and Lola to make 3 monsters.


The three blind mice graduated, Squirt was the valediction and awarded 'most likely to save the world', Lola was also most likely to save the world... hmm maybe not so likely with her LTW of creating monsters... and Skyla was 'most likely to become a rock legend'.

 Squirt was working as a male nurse and as Skyla was an aspiring lead guitarist what better way for a date than to the theatre, outside they watched the stars and talked about their life with a lurking Lola behind them... why so jealous for Lola?

Now was the moment Sky's childhood had been leading up to..


 "OMG its so shiny"
She of course said yes.




The rest of the family was getting along since their engagement, Lola found a chameleon that she grew very fond of and she left her jealousy behind as she accepted her forever-alone-ness and moved on and out of the home, Charlotte and Xavier were still very in love playing childish games of catch, and Squirt looked lovely matching his scrubs to the twins car.


 However, good things don't last and as I said the tradition of deaths at their parties made no exception to Skyla's bachelorette party...


 Napoleon had lost his loving wife 


And Skyla gained TWO party dancers... she later found out that allowing Squirt to come to the party was a bad idea as he is a coward and drank too much "juice" to drown his fears of Sky running away with these two buff "policemen" (squirt is next to the bar in the brown suit knocked out)




But once again things were looking up for the Patterson household, Xavier was getting pretty old now and decided to retire, he spent his lifetime rewards on the philosophers stone and transportation device, 

He spent his free evenings on the beach with his wife, in the exact same spot as where he proposed with the same view of the guiding lighthouse. (btw because Xavier couldn't take Charlotte back to France they built a retirement basement downstairs and decorated it just like a french basement so they would both feel more at home)


The death at parties traditions continues, of course, when Squirt and Skyla throw their wedding party Xavier gets down on one knee for the last time, pleading with death for his life. But unfortunately his plead was not accepted and we all lost our beautiful legacy founder.


 Perfect timing Xavier... right before the rings were exchanged! Everyone was devastated.


 BUT THE PARTY MUST GO ON. And so amongst tears of loss, tears of joy and hope were shed in light of the newly weds Kiss.


 Squirt: "Stand back honey, I'mma go all imaginary friend on this cake"
Skyla: "Oh okay baby, but I mean, i did lose my dad and all...."


When everyone had left the party to the comfort of their beds, Charlotte fell asleep next to her husbands ashes that sat next to her on his side of the bed.


To escape from the loss of her father, Skyla and Squirt travelled to France, Xavier's favourite location, for their honey moon. Man were those frenchies jealous of Squirt...


 And so as one life ends, another begins - above the brewery in Paris...



As the couple returned home finally accepting the loss of their father (and father in-law) Charlotte found her dearly beloved helping himself in the kitchen, her grief and love overthrew her and she was so happy to be back in her husbands arms. Charlotte took Xavier's ashes to the science lab to restore Xavier's ghost... however, this wasn't such a good idea...


 Because Squirt is a coward and feints whenever he sees Xavier despite his love for his father in-law, Charlotte and Xavier had to move away from their homestead that they both had built from nothing and spend their last few physical lives on a cottage by the lighthouse. 


 A pregnant Skyla feels empty in the big house only occupied by herself and her husband and whilst Squirt's being a murse, she gets lonely and decided to adopt a puppy from her neighbour. 


Jake the dog was added to the family and he is adorable! Always following Sky around and singing harmonies to her guitar


BUT ALAS the house is about to be filled! This is the beginning of generation three, what gender will Skyla's baby be? She's hoping for a girl but Squirt wants a boy. What will become of their careers? Will a baby interfere with their love life? And with all the hassle imaginary friends caused for the Patterson twins, will Skyla and Squirt allow their kids to have imaginary friends? Find out in generation 3!
