Okay so once again, 3 am thoughts have gifted me with yet another au. It is by no means original but screw it: SmithSwap

The only things I’m switching is their ages, so now Nya is the older one, but it. Gets. Fun.

For specifics, as of the Pilots/S1 Nya is 15 and Kai is 11, because I want bebe kai

Now, prior to Wu showing up, it’s pretty much the same as canon only with roles reversed. Nya mostly runs the shop while Kai is trying to everything he can to make things easier for his big sister, and I mean everything. The only one Nya doesn’t stop him from doing is cooking because Kai is the better chef, though neither can figure out why. Nya also likes to tell Kai stories of their parents since he can’t remember them too well, much to his disappointment.

ANYWAY, Wu shows up, Kai gets upset he’s insulting his sister’s work, then Skulkin show up. Kai does get snatched, much to Nya worry and canon continues.

Okay but also tiny spinoff, it also would’ve been hilarious if Nya still got kidnapped because then when the guys meet Kai they’d be like “who is this sassy lost child?”

So then while Nya’s training, I’m actually going to say what happened when Kai is captured.

You see, a side affect of being really freaking old is that your perception of time changes, specifically how long periods seem shorter. Garmadon decided that because of the prophecy it would be best to snatch the Master of Fire, who he thought would be Ray.

So you can imagine his surprise when his Skulkin bring in a kicking, screaming 11 year old child.

He is, understandably, not happy and very confused.

He sends the Skulkin away and tries his best talking with Kai. Like, as little malice as he can in a gentle voice, and he actually learns a few things. 1) both Ray and Maya went missing years ago, 2) these kids have no idea about anything regarding the Elemental Masters, 3) Kai’s sister has been raising him since their parents went missing, and she’s only four years older than him

Understandably, he is concerned, but also sees this as an opportunity. If he raises the Master of Fire to be loyal to him, then he’ll never want to fulfill his role in the prophecy, thus ensuring his victory. also he really misses lloyd and now when he returns he’ll have two kids!!! how amazing is that

So yeah Kai’s stay in the Underworld isn’t that bad. This Garmadon guy is pretty nice, tells him awesome stories about his parents, teaches him a bunch of things(mostly how to fight), and really just acts like the paternal figure he never had(Garmadad is canon, no matter what form you can fight me on this). The only part that sucks in Samukai, but he’s just a jerk and Garmadon makes sure he’ll never actually do anything to hurt him. He does miss Nya a lot though.

Anyway back with Nya and the guys.

They don’t actually know the exact reason why she was here at the beginning. All they know was that Wu originally left for the Master of Fire and came back with her instead. They know she has a brother, but aren’t quite sure how he falls into it.

They learn her full story the night they’re heading to the Temple of Fire, at which when they’re winding down Zane brings up how she never actually told them how she met Wu.

They are very concerned when they find out the whole story and swear they’ll help her get him back, which is nice.

Then she sees Kai But Actually Garmadon, follows, and bam Sword of Fire time. She isn’t able to fully use it, but she’s able to get a few sparks. However, things then start to take a turn for the worst.

Kai is actually here, very confused why Garmadon’s having him tied to the ceiling, but hey Nya’s here! But then oh no he then realizes that Garmadon is the bad guy, which gets him upset and more then a little betrayed.

Seeing him hurt his sister, the one of raised him, actually has Kai pick up the sword and use his powers. Under normal circumstances, it probably wouldn’t have been bigger than a few sparks, however Kai has his big sister in danger, dealing with the betrayal of an almost father figure, holding the Sword of Fire, and being surrounded by his element.

So yeah. Not that small of a fire.

The guys and Wu are actually able to to witness the truly incredible fire blast he lets out from the camp, put two and two together, and start heading over. Wu didn’t follow Nya…..because plot and was the able to help them fight off the Skulkin.

Anyway, it’s more than enough to dissipate the shadows, however it also wakes up the dragon. Garmadon, who is sort of panicking because That Was Not Supposed To Happen, ends up scooping up an unconscious Kai and the Sword and retreating to the underworld, leaving behind a very pissed Nya and an equally pissed Fire Dragon.

But yeah, Nya deals with the dragon, they get the other ones and head to the Underworld with Wu this time, and he’s actually the reason they’re able to get past all the Skulkin.

But yeah, Samukai gets vaporized and Garmadon about to leave when a feverish Kai makes his way in and begs Garmadon to not do it and that they can fix things.

And Garmadon….actually pauses for a second and you can see the conflict in his eyes before he shakes his head and says “there’s no going back for me” and walks through. Kai then collapses and the end up heading back home.

As for what’s up with Kai, who would’ve guessed tapping into a kind of power you aren’t supposed to have access to yet in a high stress situation would be bad for the body. He has a really bad fever but he’s fine after a few days.

The few month timeskip in between the Pilots and S1 is mostly spent training Kai, so they have quite a bit less free time. However when S1 starts and Kai hears about Lord Garmadon, he actually wants to check it out himself first.

So yeah, he meets Lloyd by himself and it actually doesn’t go that badly. Kai actually buys some candy for them to share and they leave the town, and Kai actually starts talking with him. Eventually the topic comes up about Garmadon and Kai gives a rough basis about how he sort of got kidnapped, and then his work in progress plan of making him good again. Lloyd is completely down with seeing his dad again and says how they could probably get his dads attention if their got their own evil army.

And because they’re both stupid kids, neither of which have had parents before, Kai thinks it’s a great idea.

So yeah. That’s why they find the Serpentine here.

Ofc, it isn’t a right away type thing. It takes them about a month before they find the Hypnobrai Tomb, and Kai just plays off all his time spent out as him having made a friend, which they can’t exactly argue with.

Ofc, canon still happens and when Kai was busy training Lloyd ended up finding the tomb and releasing the Serpentine, and they do their regular Canon Nonsense.

However, Kai is not too happy about the whole Attack Villages things and after a bit comes clean to the ninja about their original plan. They very much aren’t happy, but admit his heart was in the right place and they doubt he’d pull something like this again.

Fast-forward a bit more, Kai is mostly chill with Zane’s “weirdness” and unfortunately stays home when the Hypnobrai burn down the Monestary. It’s only because the dragons were able to get out and protect him that he was still alive. Nya’s actually the one who yells at Zane this time around because again. Kai almost died, but it’s all cool later and they find the Bounty :D

Anyway, Canon again continues. Kai is still really good with the dragons and is a little upset they need to leave. He also gets along really well with Ed and Edna. Then when Lloyd joins Kai is a little….well he doesn’t hate him but he does spend a while avoiding him.

Eventually Nya has enough of their dancing around each other and locks them both in the same room so they can talk it out. Turns out the reason Kai was avoiding him was because Lloyd’s betrayal really hurt since they were supposed to do it to find Garmadon, not hurt people. They have a tearful apology, then Kai learns how much of a jerk the Serpentine were and is like “the next time I see any I’ll protect you, since you’re like my little brother and as a big brother it’s my job to keep you safe”

Now it’s Samurai Time :)

You see, this time around Kai has double reasons for being the Samurai. 1) Yeah, he hates being left behind and wants to be involved but also 2) he wants to keep his big sister and big brothers safe

So yeah, that happens. He does think it’s pretty funny when they keep trying and failing to one up him though.

But then :) He gets captured with Lloyd :)))

So yeah, that sucks but it only gets worse because while Kai was able to “summon” his Samurai Mech, he had to send it off to get the ninja away. So that sucks.

Garmadon eventually shows up to help since the Serpentine stole both his kids, much to Nya’s chagrin.

Then comes the freaking Volcano Scene and this one is from Nya when she rescues Kai, then has to choose between Lloyd or the Fangblade. She ends up unlocking her True Potential by essentially leaving behind all negative feels she had for Lloyd and accepting him under her protection just like she did Kai.

The sheer torrent of water easily cools all the lava and thoroughly soaks them. But hey, even Kai has to admit being wet is better than being burnt alive. Also when the ninja start wondering aloud why the Samurai didn’t help Kai bashfully admits he was the Samurai, and this thoroughly impresses the ninja since Kai is like, 12 at this point.

Uhhhh, S2 isn’t too different. Kai is super happy that the dragons are back and is easily Ultra’s favorite. He isn’t hit with either Garms spell nor the Tomorrows Tea, but is there to comfort Lloyd and says that even though he got hit with some magic stuff Kai is still going to protect him since he’s still his older brother. On the Dark Island Kai is heartbroken Nya got corrupted and swears he’ll help fix her. When Garmadon gets purified Kai looses his shit and gets so excited since let’s goooooo not only is his dad not evil anymore they can go out in public together :DDDD

S3, also not too different. During the whole Love Triangle nonsense Kai’s just sitting there so confused. Also Pixal joins team Kai’s Older Siblings. Him getting captured was just him being at the wrong place wrong time. He has a really fun time time in space though, which was nice.

But uh. Then Zane hecking dies, which hits everyone really hard, especially Kai. Only this time, Nya ends up taking Kai back to Ignacia and opens up the forge again, pretty much cutting all contact with the other ninja, Wu and Garmadon. While it might’ve been boring and lonely, at least in Ignacia they were safe.

Kai is…honestly really miserable, but hides it well. He can barely get up some mornings, but does so anyway since he’s desperately trying to act like things are normal, despite how Nya doesn’t talk very much. He misses the other ninja a lot, even Pixal despite not knowing her for very long, but doesn’t want to tell Nya since again, trying to make things normal again. Nya also doesn’t let him out of the house too often, only really if she’s there to watch him.

This routine goes on for about two months, until Lloyd shows up to try and get everyone back together. And Nya.....Nya doesn’t like that.

She and Lloyd end up having a bit of a passive aggressive argument that is progressively getting louder until Kai just. Snaps.

He yells at them to stop fighting, how they’re acting so horribly and that he wished things could go back to normal, how Zane wouldn’t want this and that he’d be disappointed in them.

The two visibly flinch.

Then Kai realizes exactly what he just said and who he said it to. And he runs.

Nya and Lloyd both spend some time in silence, mulling over what Kai just said because he was right. Zane would hate what’s become of the team and how they separated.

Nya ends up being the one to break the silence, asking Lloyd where and when to meet.

When Kai doesn’t return from the woods, she ends up leaving a note before she leaves, explaining where she’s going and how she’s sorry.

Meanwhile, Kai is having a slight breakdown in a Tree Base he made years ago.

But yeah, fast forward a bit and Kai’s getting ready to sneak onto Chen’s Island, but in a slightly different way than canon. Instead he takes a slightly experimental ship that’s basically a smaller Bounty which he calls the Destiny’s Wish. Think of the comparison like a Car vs a Go Cart. Comfortably, it can fit 2 people long term, but for quick trips can carry as many as 10, but it’ll be a tight fit and the Wish might have some trouble flying.

So yeah, he’s on his own and he doesn’t arrive until a few hours before the EMs all get dropped from the plane. Shade is actually the one to find him first, but has a moment of pause since Literal Child and gives Kai enough time to kick him into a tree and run. The whole chase actually lasts about two hours but unfortunately Kai isn’t able to get back to the Wish and gets caught.

Now for the fun part :)

So all the EMs(and I do mean all because he wanted to “thank them for their contribution”) are in the throne room, their powers snatched, when Chen said aloud “But it is such a shame that we don’t have the Master of Fire, the we’d be able to complete the spell.” and for the briefest second the Ninja Fam are relieved but then Chen does a whole “SIKE, WE GOT HIM” and has some of the guards bring Kai out.

The Ninja are, understandably, freaking out. The EMs kinda are too since Child but only a little bit and it’s not personal

But then just as Chen’s about to snatch his fire, Kai starts saying how Chen cheated since Kai never got to play in a match. Chen refutes it since His Game His Rules but then Kai says that age old statement to get siblings to do Stupid Shit: “What are you, scared?”

Chen is not scared, thank you very much. And you know what, since you’re so confident fine, you now get your own challenge!

So yeah, now Kai has his own challenge.

What is it you might ask?

A vertical obstacle course with a time limit. If Kai doesn’t grab the Jade Blade, the exit closes.

Not that bad you might think. After all, Kai’s been training with the ninja for the past year, he’s probably got this in the bag.

Yeah welllllllll, a little bird told might have told Chen that a certain Master of Fire couldn’t swim.....so he uses Nya’s power to gradually fill up the room and forcing him up.

Surprise surprise, it was rigged against him. I’m talking platforms having false bottoms, ladders being oiled, high pressure water jets to knock him off, the works.

Kai is so close to making it. So close..... but Chen can’t have that happen now can he :)

So yeah, Kai ends up falling in and Nya almost drags all the EMs into the water trying to get him.

Luckily it’s at that moment Lloyd bursts in with Garmadon, frees the EMs and gets Chen’s staff. The EMs bust out and just as Nya’s about to dive in the whole thing starts draining, like an enormous whirlpool.

You see Chen actually thought ahead and realized that “hey, if the kid dies he’ll loose his power” so he made a plan that when Kai was going to fall in, he would use one of the tubes that shot water but in verse and suck him in. Luckily he was able to pull it off before the gem was smashed because if not MMM.

So yeh, Kai is now captured, but still on the island. Skylor reluctantly copies his powers(she got sort of close with Nya and this is the little brother she was gushing about), and Anacondrai happens. However, the two are able to escape, Skylor’s actually able to figure out the Summon Dragon thing, and then they head back to the main group.

Then comes the inevitable question of “how did you get here anyway?” and then Kai shows them The Wish. He actually ends up flying back with Garmadon before all the EMs learn how to Summon Dragon so they can warn people about the ensuing danger.

So yeah, they head out, the Pythor thing happens, canon then Sad because Garm still needs to do the whole sacrifice thing D:

That one hits Lloyd and Kai really hard, but they both use each other for comfort so it isn’t as bad as it could’ve been.

But yeah, this is getting long so tbc for a part 2 :DDD

Psych: The Essential Episode Guide

https://ift.tt/32iOkA8

As a TV series, Psych is like one of those frozen yogurt chains where the wall is ringed with different flavors and you can keep pulling levers for whatever combination you want. There are the Shawn/Gus episodes, the “Shawn’s psychic lie is threatened” episodes, the increasingly genius and lovingly rendered (often ‘80s-tastic) tributes, and the ensemble classics where the whole cast is just a well-oiled machine after years of riffing off one another. You can have whatever flavor you want. And don’t even get me started on toppings (there’s gotta be pineapple, at the very least).

Over its eight-year run, Psych interrogated its own premise, built out its supporting cast, let its characters play their favorite movie characters, and adapted its own internal mythology into trilogies that would make any movie-buff weep with appreciation. Here is a baker’s dozen of the most giggle-worthy, self-referential, surprisingly dramatic episodes of Psych. (And with so many to choose from, your favorite flavor combinations might be different from mine—share your own best episodes in the comments!)

Season 2 Episode 1: “American Duos”

Once the show had had a season under its belt of the fake-psychic shtick, the writers and actors got to really start playing in the sandbox they’d created. The second-season premiere has it all: a pop culture riff on a certain popular reality show competition; Tim Curry and Gina Gershon going above and beyond in their parodies of Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul; and Shawn and Gus giving a truly spectacular mashup performance as Curt Smith and Michael Jackson.

Season 2 Episode 3: “Psy vs. Psy”

I’m a sucker for the episodes where Shawn might have to come clean about his big fat lie. Season 2 poked at that possibility early on, with a counterfeit case that brings in government agent Lars Ewing (Lou Diamond Phillips) and female psychic Lindsay Leiken (Bianca Kajlich). Not only does Lars ruffle Lassiter’s feathers and get Jules hot and bothered, but Lindsay seems to be a lot more intuitive than Shawn—to the point where the SBPD may be looking to replace their consultant. Shawn has a knack for making things harder for himself, but the situations in which he has to actually fight his way out are always rewarding.

Season 2 Episode 13: “Lights, Camera… Homicidio”

The second season really cemented the series’ delight in its own ridiculousness—not just in the bizarre cases, but in how Shawn and Gus (and the rest of the SBPD) react to them. This week, it was an accidental murder via botched prop knife on the set of Explosión Gigantesca de Romance, Gus’ (and Henry’s) favorite telenovela, that really highlighted Psych’s embrace of the absurd. While doing his psychic thing, Shawn gets “discovered” enough to play the sexy delivery guy, who becomes a beloved character in his own right… only to learn for himself how badly the show’s fans blur the lines between characters and actors. Though not as outright meta as the tribute episodes, it still was wonderfully self-aware about the pitfalls of emotionally investing in fictional characters.

Season 4 Episode 5: “Shawn Gets the Yips”

This episode is a bit of a bait-and-switch in that Shawn having the yips (about baseball, not being a psychic) doesn’t really impact the plot, which starts with a shooting at a known cop bar and culminates in a commentary on the police force not properly punishing drug lords who sell opioids. The subplot about the drug lord supposedly targeting SBPD members is a bit of a red herring for the more nuanced twist about the cost of the opioid epidemic, but it contains one of my favorite moments, in which Shawn unintentionally gets a great workout because he believes that the message on his water bottle (your heart rate drops below 150, you die) is a threat. Just a solid mid-series episode.

Season 4 Episode 16: “Mr. Yin Presents…”

Just like with Bones, Psych really came into its own when it mixed the laughs with actual life-or-death stakes—and in both cases, that was thanks to a serial killer obsessed with our protagonist. Season 3 ended on “An Evening with Mr. Yang,” which introduced Ally Sheedy (one of many, many famous cameos) as the eponymous serial killer who kidnapped Shawn’s mother to get closer to him. But with her locked away and more artfully arranged kills discovered, the SBPD have to confront that Yang might have a Yin—which of course spawns a trilogy.

Movies

Psych 2: Lassie Come Home Review

By Natalie Zutter

Psych 2: Lassie Come Home Stars on Hitchcock Homages and Special Reunions

By Natalie Zutter

The Empire Strikes Back of the Yin/Yang saga is my personal favorite, though I highly recommend watching all three. The team’s introduction to Yang’s twisted mentor is through his love of Alfred Hitchcock movies: He casts each of them in an iconic role while leading them on a wild goose chase through Santa Barbara, ending at a movie set mashup and presenting Shawn with an impossible choice between saving girlfriend Abigail or Juliet. The latter has one of her most powerful moments, stoically accepting her death while suspended from a clock and later breaking down in Lassiter’s arms. Her PTSD remains through the Yin/Yang saga, another sign of the series’ maturity as it explores the ripple effect of its more dramatic plots.

Season 6 Episode 2: “Last Night Gus”

While Shawn and Gus are the series OTP, part of the show’s beauty has been in building up its other bromances. This spoof of The Hangover has Shawn, Gus, Lassiter, and Woody waking up in the Psych offices with no memory of their antics the night before, but plenty of incriminating clues tying them to a dead body. Their attempt to solve the mystery of how they got so memory-obliteratingly drunk has them encountering a sweet gay bartender couple, a murdered donut mascot, and a hot girl who’s very into Last Night Gus… if only he knew what he did. In addition to riffing superbly on the movie, the episode is a fun commentary on our present selves solving the mysteries of our past personas.

Season 7 Episode 5: “100 Clues”

I managed to watch this without realizing what the Psych crew was going for, so the moment that Shawn and Gus pulled up in the Blueberry to a mansion in a rainy homage to Clue, I was squealing harder than Gus at the notion of a secret chocolate room. For the series’ 100th episode, they lovingly parodied the perfect locked-mansion murder mystery, with killer cameos from Lesley Warren, Christopher Lloyd, and Martin Mull (plus little nods to the Clue alums who couldn’t be there, like Eileen Brennan). From the Singing Telegram Girl to the secret passageways, only true fans could achieve this level of detail—a perfect landmark celebration.

Season 7 Episode 7: “Deez Nups”

The sign of a great ensemble series is that they can make the standard, super-tropey wedding episode feel fresh again. It helps that it’s Lassiter’s nuptials, and everyone wants to see the guy happy, which is what leads to Shawn, Gus, and Woody kidnapping the detective for a bachelor party, while Juliet and the Chief get roped into being Marlowe’s bachelorette buddies. The threat of a mob boss taking revenge on Lassie takes a backseat to such wedding fare as Vick getting weepy-drunk on shots and McNab popping up as a police stripper (I cackled at the payoff of his Chekhov’s tearaway pants). Just like with a real-life wedding, when you know the people involved, it feels special and unique. (There is also a gross, transphobic joke about a stripper, one of the aspects of Psych that did not age well.)

Season 7 Episode 8: “Right Turn or Left for Dead”

Tribute episodes are Psych’s bread and butter, but rarely do they advance the plot as effectively and emotionally as this riff on Sliding Doors. After Juliet finds out that Shawn has been lying about being a psychic, which makes her believe that everything about their relationship has been a lie, Shawn indulges in a fantasy in which he’s 1990s Gwyneth Paltrow (naturally) pondering the diverging paths of whether Jules does or doesn’t discover the truth.

The story immediately splits into two takes on the same case, but in one she’s a Jane Doe and in the other Shawn actually has a chance to save her… only to discover that her life path was already set in stone after an abusive childhood. Even with subtle moments of humor that highlight the parallel universes’ differences in solving cases, overall the episode is a study in how one choice has ramifications far beyond the initial action—a lesson Shawn needed to learn, in the penultimate season.

Season 7 Episode 11: “Office Space”

If the boys trying to cover their tracks in “Last Night Gus” was worth a few giggles, Gus and Shawn tampering with a murder scene and then trying to clean their hands of it in this episode is the kind of laughter that hurts. When Gus publicly confronts his abusive boss, only for the man to wind up offed and poor Guster very incriminated. The sequence in which they hysterically stumble their way through the crime scene is worth watching alone; but as evidence mounts and it looks like they could actually be caught in the crosshairs, the levels of ingenuity to which they’re pushed shows why this is the show’s best partnership.

Season 8 Episode 1: “Lock, Stock, Some Smoking Barrels and Burton Guster’s Goblet of Fire”

This is the episode that got me back into the show after years of casual viewing: a mashup of Guy Ritchie and Harry Potter that manages to add a whole new layer to one of Psych’s best recurring characters, refined art thief Pierre Desperaux (Cary Elwes) while giving him a proper send-off.

Like the Yin/Yang trilogy, the entire Desperaux quartet is worth watching for the heists, the Indiana Jones lampooning, and especially for his continued double-crossing of his greatest fan Shawn. But this one takes the cake because it adds a new layer to the Desperaux mythology: He’s actually Royston Staley, an Interpol agent who went undercover as a gentleman thief. Or is he?? Plus, add in the runner about poor Gus in his Hogwarts robes just trying to make it to PotterCon, and you have a near-perfect episode.

Season 8 Episode 3: “Remake, A.K.A. Cloudy… WIth a Chance of Murder”

What better way to mark your final season than by remaking one of your season 1 episodes? What’s incredible about Psych is how many different ways it goes meta, but there was something especially entertaining about its remake of season 1, episode 12 “Cloudy… With a Chance of Murder.” With periodic reminders that this episode is set in 2006, it recasts almost all of the characters—a teacher accused of killing a local weatherman, the lawyer for the prosecution (Ralph Macchio)—and makes space for new jokes (about remakes and My Cousin Vinny) and new twists. All long-running series should get a chance to try and redo their early episodes after they’ve gelled their characters and dynamics.

Season 8 Episode 10: “The Break-Up”

After trying to make their long-distance relationship work, Shawn decides to move to San Francisco to be with Juliet, a far easier choice than actually breaking the news to Gus. Of course the Psych series finale would be about these two facing the end of their partnership. Specifically, Shawn’s inability to say goodbye, so instead he and Gus wind up investigating a case involving special guest star Billy Zane, careening around in their high-school drivers ed car, and competing with SBPD’s peppy new detective Betsy Brannigan (Mira Sorvino). When none of this helps Shawn come out with the truth, he does so through DVD—a whole batch of DVDs, tailored to each of his colleagues and dear friends. Because Shawn loves telling a story.

There’s no better end for Shawn and Gus than a bromantic one, complete with driving cross-state (albeit turning back 12 times), dramatic declaration of love (at a crime scene), and pledging their lives together before Shawn actually proposes to Juliet (as a formality). And it’s not just about them: The finale has sweet moments of closure for new junior detective McNab (aww) and especially Lassiter, who finally gets Shawn’s confession—then breaks the DVD. If the Psych movies had never happened, it would have been enough; but instead, it’s the sugary-sweet end of one chapter and the opening of another.

Siblings Interview Tag: Zaid, Farrah, Farid and Khalid Al Farsi (Jasmeen is a bit young for this)

I was tagged by @treason-and-plot several centuries ago! Thank you so much, lovely! My subjects are left to right - Farrah, Farid, Zaid and Khalid. I would like to tag @titosims, @ninjaofthepurplethings, @buckleysims, @anotherplumbob, @mysimsloveaffair, @simsmidgen and anyone who wants to do this! Questions and Answers under the cut.

1. Which one of you is the older sibling?

Zaid: I am, by just over two years.

2. What do you like about your sibling?

Zaid: Farrah speaks her mind and stands up for herself, Farid smart, but doesn’t have a massive head about it and Khalid makes me laugh. Farrah: To be fair, Khalid makes all of us laugh...sometimes at him. Khalid: I heard that! Farrah: You were meant to. Zaid looks out for us all, which is great as I was a mess... Khalid: Were? Farrah: Oh haha...Farid makes me think about what I’m about to do... Farid: Sometimes... Farrah: What is this abuse? ...and he has managed to save me from doing a few stupid things and Khalid is a shit. Okay, I like that he might not be smart, but he knows what he wants and well...not many people do. Farid: Zaid really looks out for me, he’s probably my best friend... Farrah: I’m your twin you gobshite! Farid: Farrah is my evil twin. She’s confident and determined and Khalid is a lot smarter than he thinks he is. He’s growing up to be a really decent guy. Khalid: What they all said. I like Zaid for becoming a doctor so that the rest of us don’t have to. Farrah is great because she doesn’t judge when I screw up... Farrah: No, I just laugh at you and take photos. Khalid: True, you’re a total bitch, but that’s not always a bad thing. I was really shitty to Farid when you know...and he could’ve been an arse about it, but he wasn’t. He’s got balls for just being himself. Farrah: He’s neck deep in them, Khal! Khalid: Nooo!

3. What annoys you about your sibling?

Zaid: Nothing major. Farrah: Saint Zaid! Zaid: Farrah talks over me and Khalid has way too much energy. Farid and I used to put headphones on and lock them out. Farid doesn’t annoy me, but he could be more confident in himself. Farrah: Zaid is just too perfect, What Zaid said about Farid and Khalid...how long have you got? Farid: Zaid doesn’t really annoy me, but he needs to put himself first sometimes. As for the other two..well I think that Zaid summed it up pretty well. Khalid: It pisses me off that they’re all so smart...even Farrah. When she wasn’t sneaking boys up to her room, she would get good grades. I wish that Zaid would lighten up and smile more. No one died. Zaid: I work in a hospital, lots of people die. Khalid: SEE? Farrah: I wish that Khal would stop calling himself stupid. That’s my job.

4. Describe your sibling(s) with three adjectives.

Zaid: Farrah is headstrong, determined and a risk-taker Farid is smart, self-conscious and kind Khalid is active, confident and loud Farrah: Zaid is intelligent, reliable and...boring Zaid: Thanks! Farrah: Farid is quiet, book-smart and a nervous-wreck Khalid is hyper, loud and dense. Farid: Skating over that... Zaid is intelligent, considerate and a good friend Farrah is brash, caring... Farrah: Whaaaat?? Farid:...and independent Khalid is athletic, determined and positive Khalid: Zaid is reliable, smart and...well you can trust him. Farid: Trustworthy, Khalid. Khalid: Yeah, that. Farrah is outspoken, stubborn and well...a bit of a bitch. Farrah: True. Khalid: Farid is helpful, shy and forgiving.

5. What is your sibling’s/siblings’ biggest talent(s)?

Zaid: Farrah is an amazing hairstylist and she has a way of putting outfits together that no one else could do...all with two inch nails. Farrah: Aw you’re so nice! I feel bad for calling you boring! Zaid: Farid has a way with numbers and I haven’t once seen him pick up a calculator. He can also wipe the floor with all of us when it comes to video games and Khalid can destroy anyone at most sports...apart from snowboarding. Farrah: Zaid can shoot juice out of his nose...but he also has one of those crazy photographic memories...he’s such a smartarse. Farid can get away with way more than the rest of us because he looks so innocent. He also finished all of our new videogames by the end of the Snowflake Day holidays. I don’t know how! Khalid can burp the alphabet, which is amazing as he can’t spell...I was once forced against my will to go to one of his football matches and he’s a great player. Farid: Zaid can pick up most books and finish them on that day or within a couple of days. I would get distracted! Farrah was able to sneak boys into her room, past our dad. If you know him, that’s an amazing talent. Farrah: I did offer to sneak you one too... Farid: She did. She’s also an amazing stylist and can fix all sorts of hair disasters. Khalid: Like when I turned your hair blue? Farrah: You’re a little shit, but I owned that blue hair. Farid: Khalid is an amazing football player. Khalid: So Zaid is really smart, like Farid said, he can read a book in a day or two! I can hardly...well I don’t really like reading much. Farrah can drink grown men under the table, it’s crazy! She doesn’t even get hangovers most of the time and Farid can count in his head...well he can multiply and stuff too...I don’t know the names of it all.

6. What is your sibling(s) really bad at?

Zaid: Farrah can’t admit when she’s wrong! She just can’t. Farrah: I’m never wrong. Zaid: What about the time when... Farrah: Shut up. Zaid: Farid is bad at making decisions. He needs more self belief and Khalid is bad at spelling and maths...sorry, Khal! Farrah: Zaid is bad at making jokes. I mean he tries, but he’s not really that funny. Farid is bad at speaking up, so I used to speak up for him whether he wanted me to or not. Farid: You used to say “Farid wants...” to get stuff for yourself. Farrah: A small price for my services. Khalid can’t spell or count for shit. Farid: Zaid is bad at putting himself first and he’s...I mean we laugh sometimes, but his jokes are a bit...stale. Zaid: Thanks... Farid: Sorry! Farrah is bad at letting things go, whether it’s a grudge or a joke and Khalid is bad at reading situations and expressions. Khalid: Zaid just isn’t funny, Farrah is bad at...well she can’t say things in a nice way. Farid: She’s as subtle as a brick. Khalid: Yeah...and Farid is bad at controlling his emotions. He was bawling at something on Jaime’s Drag Race last week. 7. Do you have nicknames for each other?

Farrah: Not really. Khalid is sometimes Khal though.

8. What’s one thing you can do that your sibling(s) can’t?

Zaid: Prescribe medication. Farrah: So serious! I can cause an all out war on M*msnet with a few choice words. Farid: Complete Lubo the Llama 3. Khalid: Only because you hogged it. I can play football without tripping or breaking anything.

9. Did you get along when you were younger?

Zaid: Farid and I have always been really close. Farrah too, but she got really into fashion and we just...weren’t, so she made other friends a lot faster. Farrah: Sometimes they’d lock me out of their room. Farid: You were so loud and you’d ask so many questions and try to style us and dress us up! Farrah: You loved it! Farid:... Zaid: Khalid came along and Farrah hated it! She tried to sell him to our next door neighbour. She dropped him too, but luckily it was only on the sofa. Farrah: I tried my hardest. Khal and I would fight all the time, right up until I moved out, but I wouldn’t let anyone else mess with him. Zaid: Farid and I got on fine with him. Farid would always help him with his homework...they fell out for a bit, but it’s fine now. Khalid: I was a bit of a dick. Farid: It’s fine...we all get on now.

11. Are you closer now or when you were younger?

Zaid: We’re much closer now, but we’ve always been close. Farid: Definitely. Living in different houses is great.

12. Did you compete with each other?

Zaid: No, we all wanted different things. Farrah: Khalid and I would compete for attention. I went from being the only girl to being in the middle when Khalid came along. Khalid: Yeah, she was evil.

13. Which one of you is more likely to turn out like your mum or dad?

Zaid, Farid and Khalid: Farrah! Farrah: True... Zaid: Farrah is just Mum but younger, it’s scary! Khalid: Zaid is kind of like Dad though. Farrah: He is, but let’s be fair, even Zaid has more humour than dad!

14. Which one is most likely to have a big family?

Farid: Farrah. Farrah: What? Zaid has triplets and he’s adopting Lucie! I have Hadi. Farid: Come on, you have Hadi, Harry’s younger brother and sister still live with you...Lloyd and Jelena and you’ve got guardianship of Benny. You’re like Susan Kennedy with fashion sense. Farrah: I’m glad you added that last bit. Khalid: I could have lots of children that no one knows about. Farrah: You can’t get your pillow or your socks pregnant, Khal. Sorry!

15. What is one thing about your sibling(s) that has changed as you’ve gotten older?

Zaid: Farrah has become more responsible and it’s pretty scary! None of us would have guessed that she’d be a mum with a full house. Farid: Yeah, that was a shocker! Khalid has become a lot more mature and handles things a lot better without being... Farrah: A dick. Khalid: Hey...wait, that’s pretty fair. Farid: That pretty much. Farrah: Zaid is toning it down with the career stuff now that he’s a dad. It suits him a lot more and he’s happier. Khalid: Farid is a lot more...well he’s himself. He was always quiet and awkward and he still is, but we know he’s not hiding anything.

16. Who’s better at maths?

Khalid: Farid. Zaid: No competition there.

17. Who is more pessimistic and who is more optimistic?

Farrah: Farid can be a bit pessimistic, but Khalid and I are optimists. I don’t know about Zaid... Zaid: I’m a realist. Farrah: You’re something, but the label fell off.

18. Is there anything you don’t like doing together?

Zaid: Watching TV. Farrah and Khalid won’t shut up. Farrah: I’ll second that, you watch some shit on TV. Farid: Zaid is the only one who’ll really play video games with me. The other two are sore losers. Khalid: I hate playing football with Farid. Farid: I hate playing football.

19. Which one of you do you think will get married first?

Zaid: Sophie and I are engaged, but Farrah and Farid aren’t far behind! Farrah: Don’t scare me, I’ve had enough commitment to last me a lifetime recently. I wouldn’t discount Khalid, he could surprise us with Edyta...if she gets her act together. Khalid: No comment. Farrah: What’s that meant to mean? Farid: He’s already married. Farrah: WHAAAT? Khalid: I’m not...but Farid is taking Drew to Champ Les Sims to propose... Farid: Shut up. Farrah: Tell me everything.

20. Lastly, how often do you argue?

Zaid: Farid and I don’t really, but Farrah likes arguing. Farid: I’ve had a few arguments with Khalid too. Farrah: Khalid is a dick. I grew up with three brothers. It was a shitshow and they all annoyed me. Can you blame me? Khalid: Yeah, I can. Farrah: Shut up, Khalid.

33. Part 4

Rubbing my face while walking out of the bedroom, I am still tired. How can I just wake up and be still tired, crazy “morning!” Mia spat “I am about sick of you” Mitch said “you make me look bad, I don’t be doing anything wrong but according to Mia I am not good” I busted out laughing “why? You leave Mitch alone” pulling the chair back “well you went and bought Sofia roses, like you could have warned me. Like next time, buy me some” rubbing my chest laughing “I got you bro, on god next time” dapping him “Cassius you have so many tattoos, why? I mean you could have left some of the body clear” I shrugged “I got most of them while I was locked up, the nigga that did it was good. It was bordem but they mean something, they all do. I promise you they do” Mia shook her head “I am so sad you both are going you know. I want to have you both living with me, I loved it” I cooed out “I appreciate it Mia, you welcomed me into your home. Sofia where is my breakfast?” she is sat here not being productive “she too busy staring at you, come on woman” Mia clicked her fingers at her “shut up” Sofia said laughing, she seems to be in an ok spirit but I think it’s fucked up, things are still hanging in the balance with what she wants to do. I want to know what to do next for her, if she wants her mom there then I can get that done but she needs to let me know “oh yeah, I forgot. Sofia’ thirteen weeks. I got so much on my mind I near forgot. Happy thirteen weeks” Sofia grinned at me “thank you baby” she said in a whisper “Cassius you a damn lie, talking about you never had a girlfriend. You have, you a liar!” Mia pointed at me “I haven’t, not even lying to you. You can ask my mom, she assumed I was gay. Which was dumb but that is parents for you. I never had one, I just didn’t want to care about someone. I saw Sofia and I was like, I can’t let that go” licking my lips “I wanted to eat the booty like groceries” Mitch snorted laughing “but she got me, she fucked me. You do know that” Mia nodded her head “she told me” shaking my head “I don’t like to admit that at all but yeah, that happened” shaking my head still smiling.

Sofia made me some good breakfast, she do be treating me well “I never told you actually” placing my arm behind Sofia’ chair “Bryce, he erm. He thinks I am his dad” Sofia knitted her eyebrows together “seriously?” nodding my head “I near had a fit about it, then my mom dragged my ass about it. She goes I am the only guy showing him love, he took to me. I was sat with him, he passed me a card. That’s what he uses now to speak to us so we know how he feels, I hate that he has learning difficulties but only god knows what drugs Celine had when she when was pregnant. He gave me the card dad and then play, I was like who is dad? Then my mom asked and then he pointed at me, I didn’t like it. I said to my mom his dad is Jordan but she said he doesn’t understand and she does try to explain. He doesn’t understand, thinking on it. I do love him but it’s a little deep to say I am his dad, you know” I never actually told Sofia about that “that is sweet you know, Cassius he loves you. He sees you as his dad, do you know how sweet that is?” women be seeing it different “awww baby, that is cute. Is he ok though?” nodding my head “he just makes me smile though with his glasses and his goofiness when I see him” I chuckled “you think about it, Bryce was going through a hard time. You was the man he saw when you bought him his glasses, you cared” picking at my belly button, Sofia hit my hand “don’t do that, it’s nasty” I smiled “I know, I accept it. I am not going to deny it but I want him to understand one day, as he grows my mom struggles. My dad is useless, my siblings are dumb so it is what it is” I shrugged “before we go should we see them? Forget your dad, that is your home. We can see them, I haven’t seen your mom in a while either” I mean if Sofia wants too “ok then” Sofia wants too, why not.

We stayed here way longer than we should have but it didn’t feel like it, that is because Mia kept us happy. She made sure we felt welcomed and I appreciate that so much, I thank her for this “come back soon” Mitch said, stepping out of the apartment “I sure will” turning to him “I will seen you soon, getting married and all that. I want to get that done quick you see” Mitch blew out air all wide eyed “any man would be panicking and you’re stood here all relaxed like ok I am getting married in a few weeks time, you funny” smiling faintly “you know what Mitch, I wish I had time too wait. Time to just say I will get married next year. No matter what, when all my peers go home and I am alone. It’s me who they want, and there is only two ways for me to go. I am sure you know” Mitch put his head down “it’s pretty fucked up Cassius, I don’t like to hear that” Mitch patted my shoulder, I sighed out “I know but it’s the life I live” I hate saying that shit but it is what it is “I hope god blesses you with many more years with us, I am here for you if you need anything. Anything I can do” he chuckled “you a good guy, thank you” Mia got her arms open “come on you” she hugged me “whats with all of the love” hugging Mia “because your my homie, I can’t wait to see you both soon. Be good now” moving back from the hug.

Holding out the suitcase to Wheezy as I reached the bottom step “first day” I said smiling at him “you wearing a suit too?” I pointed laughing “I need to look good boss, you know me” Wheezy is stupid dumb but he good people “I ain’t ever seen anyone so beautiful as you ma’am, you are beautiful” looking behind me, I should have known he would be speaking about my wife “you better stay away from my baby” placing my arm around Sofia’ shoulder “I am just saying” Wheezy shrugged “where you going king?” I know it’s not that kid again, I swear he stalks me “why do you call me king? I am just me, Cassius. Wheezy first of all is dumb, I told you to go back to school?” I sound like an old man, like his dad “and leave this money? I’ll pass, you king because you run New York, you top dog. Like it’s so dope to see the man behind the name, I hear you can get someone killed just like that, I heard you got someone killed with one phone call” moving my arm away from Sofia “you see my girl next to me and you talking shit? If you know such a thing then why you speaking so much shit? Listen to me when I say this, nobody is your friend, not even me” he talks too much “but you put us on, you a good guy. Niggas living well” I give up, walking off towards the car.

I really haven’t decided what I will do with Wheezy, like where do I put him. I do not want him in the house but he need to be close “what made you do that? Like you say about the people living at the complex are dealers, but they act like you king. I mean I have heard it a few times now” Sofia asked “because when I started off, Pete’ dad had these niggas in trap houses. Shit would get raided constantly, like he had them living off shit. Their families living there. I changed that, I bought most of the places there. I wanted them to live smart, think smart. I wanted to not get raided, it’s a waste of money which means kids lived in that. It’s crazy what you see so like a lot of my main workers live there, have a family. No trouble from the police, but they got kids and stupid over here is allowing them to make money from it. I have money in other places where I have done the same. You know when you treat people well you get the good things, so I changed it. For the better, I make more money. When I make more money, my workers gain. That is why when I got locked up, it was like the fuck do we do. But Kyle and Myles came in. It’s a stupid way to do it, have your main workers in shit? This is why people snitch, I have never had a snitch besides my own brother” shaking my head “wow, Cassius. You do know that is actually a good thing. Did you always plot to take that man out? Seems like it” I paused laughing “erm, well. When it sunk in that I was going to be stuck in this. I planned on taking it over, I did it. I walked into his traphouses and told them I was boss, they didn’t take me serious until I took them out. You know, it’s just one of those things. I could have a clean record, I could not be on the radar from the police if it wasn’t for my brother. He’s an asshole, he was jealous of me? The guy that is stuck in a life sentence. Crazy but yeah, that is why I get respect. I give them respect” it’s amazing that I am so comefortable with telling Sofia all of this “it’s not something you wanted to do but you made the most out of the situation” Sofia got a point.

“Stop the car” I said to Ethan “what is it?” he said “look ahead, fuck. Park the car” getting my phone out of my pocket “what is it?” Sofia asked “they raiding my mom’ house for the tenth time” pressing the phone to my ear “how do you know?” Sofia is confused “look ahead, they block the road off randomly. They do that when they raid my home every fucking time” so annoying “don’t say my name” I said to Joshiah “erm hey aunt, what is it?” Josiah is so dumb “are they there? What are they doing? Speak in code, are they near you?” if they know I am on the phone, they will know I am close by “yes aunt, I have seen your son. He was coming here but then he didn’t I think he went, I don’t know” I went silent on the phone, hearing the chatter of people “shall I go? Like go to Atlanta go? But why are they there?” I am not understanding this “yeah I think he did go, he said he was going to erm, his girlfriends home. Yeah he did say that someone was picking him up” he makes no sense “they got new intel” he said in a whisper “ok, I will go then. Thanks for the warning dummy” disconnecting the call “ok we going, they got new intel but it’s bullshit. Take us to the airport, we need to go. We can go and see my family next time” sighing out, I think they knew I was here and caught up with it “Lloyd, he told them I was here, they had no way of knowing. I swear, I will murder him” fucking dickhead “calm down Cassius” Sofia said to me, calm down. How can I be calm when this snitch is close by to me.

I am sat here waiting for our flight just thinking, like I am trying to plot on Lloyd but he will have protection. I may as well put myself in jail again if I do, I got to wait it out “I got you some water, we have so long to wait” taking the bottle from Sofia “thank you bub” she sat next to me “it’s like an hour and a half, you can sleep if you want on my arm” opening the bottle of water “I want some drink too” Sofia said, I chuckled “you got this for me and then you are drinking it huh” holding the bottle out to her “I know, but I didn’t think. I am just tired too” she is tired but I am annoyed, such a shit situation “thank you baby” taking the bottle of water from Sofia, she got comfy. Wrapping her arm around my arm, placing her head on my shoulder “I am sad that happened to your family, maybe we can see her soon” drinking from the water bottle, I am just so in my own thoughts. I like to get people that do me wrong, he is doing me wrong and I am letting that happen.

Looking down at Sofia with her eyes closed, she really fell asleep on me but it does make me smile that she is so comfortable sleeping. Sofia opened her eyes and looked up at me, pulling a face “how?” that is creepy “I can feel the air from your nose on the top of my head” she giggled “oh” I chuckled “my bad that I woke you, did I make you cold?” I was being a creep and got caught like a dumbass I am, Sofia shifted away from me “I was going to fall asleep but not now” watching Sofia leaning down to her bag, she picked her phone out from her bag and sat back “sorry, I didn’t know I breathed so heavily” I honestly didn’t think I did but I guess I do, looking at Sofia phone. Am I being nosey for looking, I mean she watches me so why not “you still on that Insta thing?” she has a lot of notifictions from that app “yeah I am, I do update it you know” I thought she stopped it “let me look” holding my hand out for the phone “don’t you trust me?” Sofia said as she placed her phone in my hand “I do but I just want to see” I do trust her and it has nothing to do with not trusting her.

Sofa leaned closer to me “you love yourself” she has so many pictures of herself, I mean I would too if I looked like that “who else going to love me” looking over at her “me” smiling at her “am I too ugly for you?” I questioned “what? No, why?” Sofia spat “like I am not even on this? I mean once, that was the first time I ever took you out. I am not complaining, I am just saying. Unless you deleted some? I think you did” am I saying this “I may have deleted some but that really don’t mean anything” tapping the last picture she took “do I ruin your page?” like I dead ass want to know though “you don’t, I just don’t need to plaster my relationship everywhere, it has nothing to do with anything. I have posted you, I always do but it gets deleted after twenty four hours” tapping on the comments, anyone would post they having a baby. Locking Sofia’ phone “here” holding her phone out to her “you’re annoyed, you have just got yourself annoyed” shaking my head “I have a whole lot of other shit going on Sofia” I ain’t about to feel butt hurt but I do feel it, shit makes you feel insecure and I don’t like that feeling.

I want to get a fucking private jet, I am about done with flights and these dumb ass delays “least we are waiting in the queue to board now baby, stop looking all moody” poking my lips out to her “I am not, I am tired too. Have you thought yet? On what you want to do? You know with everything that has happened with us, you know I am here for you. To talk too that is” Sofia smiled at me “when I am feeling it Cassius, I just want to enjoy some us time first. I just go to this dark place and I hate it so I just want to relax before I do, but I know” nodding my head, I understand that feeling. Looking ahead of us, when they going to let us board this shit “hold my bag for me, I will be back. I need to pee really badly and they not going to let us on yet” grabbing Sofia’ bag from her “fine, hurry up ok?” Sofia quickly walked off, they ain’t opening the gate yet so that is ok “would you fuck her?” my ears perked up hearing, looking behind me. Seeing a group of men staring at Sofia rushing off “I would do it for free, need to see the face though but she got a nice booty” I know they ain’t speaking on Sofia, let me just keep my cool. I can’t get arrested in this place, I cannot let that happen to me because I am fucked.

From the corner of my eye I see my bub walking back “hey” we didn’t even move from the spot at all “you can hold my bag” Sofia said laughing as she hugged my body “nigga I would cum on her face” moving away from Sofia and walking towards the group of boys “Cassius?” Sofia said, gripping one of the guys neck “the fuck did you say!? You speaking on my wife!?” pushing him back “what?” the guy said in shock “I’ll punch your face my nigga!” another one of his friends said “Cassius, no! We not doing this. Cassius please, just leave it” Sofia stood in front of me “you’re Cassius Warren, I didn’t know it was your girl” I want to beat their asses “leave it, he ain’t the one to fuck with. Sorry” the guy got in front of his friend said “you fucking with the wrong nigga, if I see your face out these streets. I will bust a cap in your fucking face. You watch it” mean mugging “we didn’t know, sorry Cassius girl. We sorry, please. We didn’t know” I want to fucking beat them all “come on, Cassius please. I don’t want the trouble” seeing security rushing towards us “next time my niggas” I said walking back slowly “what the hell? What happened” I want to break their fucking faces, how fucking dare they “what happened?” Sofia grabbed my arm “let’s just go” I want to get out of this place, I have this fucking handbag in my hand while arguing.

Sitting in my seat on the plane, I knew these niggas was following me. Sofia froze staring at the police officers that decided to get on the plane with us, I mean there is like six of them “sit down” I said to Sofia before looking up “problem?” I asked “we have had reports” rolling my eyes, that is all they hear “ask them if I was being violent. Ask them right now, then you tell me if your reports are legit” glaring at the officer “it doesn’t matter what they say, people around you have said” sighing out “I was loud it happened, and I am here. Why you looking at my girl?” is this officer being real “you seem very angry right now, are you going to be ok to fly out?” nodding my head, it’s annoying me “enjoy your flight” people are disrespecting me in front of my face, I can’t do shit “we need to talk, I am not having this. I am not having you assume things that are not true” Sofia said, I don’t want to even hear this right now.

“If you would like to listen that would be nice” Sofia didn’t even let the plane level off before she started, she got close to me “you right, I deleted pictures of you on my Instagram. Not because I wanted too but because I kept getting comments saying about you doing things, I put a picture of you and it was just you and there was comments of gang talk Cassius. Then they was like my nigga Cassius tell him the drop is ready. Your friends or whatever found me and then they was saying things like that. I didn’t like it, I don’t want that. So I just removed it, I removed things I do now with you. To protect you in a way” why couldn’t she just say that to me earlier “I do have a lot of random people follow me, I literally did this when you told me about Lloyd. He would see that, that is it. I just post you on my story and that is it now” nodding my head “I get insecure with you” I admitted “why? I get insecure with you. You’re not exactly ugly Cassius, I don’t want anyone else. I don’t want you to feel that. I don’t want you to think I am doing anything wrong, because I am not. I am just trying to think of anything that could get you in trouble. A lot of people like you but there is also people that don’t. Trust me when I say this, I want to show you off everytime. And please don’t ever feel insecure” smiling at Sofia “still do, I mean come on. Look at you” Sofia rolled her eyes at me, she don’t get it but I do.

Summer Dream - Epilogue

Previous Chapters

A/N: Thank you everyone for reading this! It means a lot to me!

Summer Dreams?

An article by Karmen Scott-Hanson

Another summer has come and gone, and another summer has unleashed its unrelenting drama and heat. Camp Talladega welcomed back several counselors. The returners included camp heirs, Aspen, Caleb, and Caden Hanson; all four members of both Little Mix and All Time Low; seasoned staff member Cher Lloyd; country music legend Carly Pearce; and the center of all drama, Audrey Jenkins. Among the new summer’s counselors include Hey Violet’s Rena and Nia Lovelis; and everyone’s summer crushes, 5 Seconds of Summer.

As with all celebrity events, this summer was packed full of romance, drama, rivalries, and more drama. The summer started off with an immediate connection between camp heiress, Aspen Hanson, and 5 seconds of Summer guitarist, Michael Clifford. What looked like a spark that would start a lovely bonfire, soon turned into a spark that started a wildfire. The couple, coined MASPEN, often took midnight adventures to the lake. Many of these adventures included a picnic basket and a guitar. Pretty romantic, if you ask me. Midnight adventures soon led to secret hookups in staff bathrooms and offices.

But, with all summer romances, comes summer drama. And, who other to start summer drama than our reigning drama queen, Audrey Jenkins. Audrey was jealous of MASPEN and she made it very clear. Michael no longer got to have any alone time with his precious Aspen, unless it was a midnight adventure while the kids slept. But these too came to an end. Even those who don’t listen to either artists music knows that there is a longstanding rivalry between country music star, Aspen Hanson, and popstar wannabe, Audrey Jenkins, but does anyone know why? None us did either, until Audrey did the unthinkable.

Goodbye MASPEN, hello MAUDREY? No, thank you. In a quote from Michael Clifford, “I don’t see why everyone is so friendly with Aspen. After everything she’s done, you’d think people in this industry would be a little more careful about who they spend their time with.” But, what could he be talking about? That’s right, the rivalry. You see, Audrey had a plan in mind when she noticed how close MASPEN had become. What was her plan? Break up MASPEN, of course. And, how would she do it? By doing the only thing she knows how to do: lie. Audrey decided that she couldn’t stand seeing Aspen happy, so she took matters into her own hands. Audrey was bitter that Aspen was so talented, and Audrey wished she could be as talented as her former best friend. As teenagers, the two friends formed a band. However, no one would sign them as a group. That being said, Data Records of Nashville, Tennessee signed Aspen to their label. Aspen then licensed the songs she wrote and started her career in the country music industry. Audrey, on the other hand, didn’t have songs to license or any talent to give, so it took her longer to get signed. Once she was signed by Freedom Records of New York, she set out on a mission to destroy the career Aspen had worked to build.

How did Audrey do this? Once again, by lying. According to Aspen Hanson, Audrey sabotaged her tour with Keith Urban. After speaking with Keith Urban, the story checks out. “Aspen was a great addition to the tour. She’s an incredible talent and she has an amazing heart, but the complications of her sets were too much for the tour to handle. We had no choice but to let her go. We later found out that Freedom Records founder, Jaime Garfeild, had paid the tour crew to get Aspen fired.” It would seem that Miss Audrey has a record of ruining Aspen’s life. Audrey concocted a very elaborate lie, in which she told Michael Clifford that Aspen was a song stealer liar. Instead of believe the woman he’s falling in love with, Clifford chose to believe the notorious liar.

MASPEN had officially ended and MAUDREY was looking promising. That is, until the night Audrey took the rivalry a little too far. Audrey convinced her campers to sabotage the night’s game, putting 11 different counselors in 11 harmful situations. Poor Carly Pearce was stuck in a fence for nearly two hours, Luke Hemmings managed to get stuck in a tree, Jesy and Perrie of Little Mix were capsized in the lake, band members Leigh Anne and Jade were covered in poison oak, frontman Alex Gaskarth and drummer Rian Dawson were locked in the pool, Cher Lloyd was locked in the canteen, Calum Hood was tripped and had fallen into the river, and dear, sweet Aspen Hanson had fallen victim to a slipknot booby trap that knocked her unconscious and fractured her ankle. Our fallen counselors were only rescued when All Time Low guitarist Jack Barakat and bassist Zack Merrick were alerted of the situation at hand. In a staff meeting, Audrey played dumb, claiming to have no part in the war going on.

With only witness statements and no hard proof, Camp Talladega was forced to keep Audrey on as counselor. But, the war wasn’t over. Our fallen soldiers of the camp had plotted their revenge. The Lovelis sisters awoke Sunday morning to find their mattresses were floating in the lake. Audrey woke up to find her cabin spun with yarn and honey sticking her feet to the floor. Feathers had flown out of the air conditioner and stuck to the shaving cream encasing her head. 5 Seconds of Summer guitarist, Michael Clifford, awoke with a fright as several fake spiders lay sprawled on his bed. On his chest, a multitude of fairly accurate penises had covered his skin. Aspen Hanson mocked the claim of her rival, Audrey, and claimed to have no part in the war. But, camp director, Carter Hanson, was not having it. He warned the war to stop, or there would be serious consequences.

And, serious consequences there are. After learning the truth of Audrey’s lies and her hatred for Apen, Clifford sent MAUDREY down to the greatest depths of hell. Although, MASPEN was still on the rocks. After another midnight adventure, MASPEN was finally back and ready to take the world by storm. But, Audrey wasn’t done yet. She told Michael that she was in love with him and kissed him right as Aspen could see them. MAUDREY seemed to have made a comeback, but Michael wasn’t ready to let MASPEN end. The night of July 12th, a horrific storm hit Camp Talladega. Tornado Alley is no joke. Campers, counselors, and other staff members reported to the storm shelter to wait out the inevitable destruction. However, Aspen wasn’t with them. Distraught, Michael Clifford went off into the night to look for her and never returned. The following morning, Aspen Hanson recounted the events of the evening. “I had gone down to the river to gather my thoughts, but the water was rising and the currents were absolutely mad. A wave hit the bridge at just the right time and completely swept it away. I was lucky enough to not be on it, but I was on the wrong side of the river. I found shelter in the barn and was going to wait for the storm to pass, when Michael showed up. He had jumped across the remnants of the bridge to look for me. We spent the night in the barn, wondering if that was how we’d die.” The near death experience was enough to bring MASPEN back together, but would MAUDREY stay in hell where it belongs?

As of today, MAUDREY will never again see the light of day. In a, thought to be, private conversation between Audrey and Michael, Audrey confessed to sabotaging Aspen’s tour with Keith Urban, starting the war the night of the game, and purposefully trying to steal Michael from Aspen. An audio recording of Audrey condemning her own career can be found on our website at summerwish.com/audreys_confession. Next summer will be an adventure in and of itself. As usual, yours truly will keep you up to date on all the summer’s drama and romance.

You don’t have to include everything some things you can leave out if its negligible

The First Master of Spinjitzu forges the Golden Weapons in the Temple of Light with gold from the Golden Peaks.[1]

With the weapons, he creates Ninjago.

The First Spinjitzu Master's counterpart, evil (the Overlord), manifested itself in the shadows, and declares war to decide the fate of Ninjago.

The Stone Wars: The Overlord creates the Stone Army to combat the First Spinjitzu Master, as well as the Temple of Fortitude to fortify against the Golden Power. To combat the Overlord, the First Spinjitzu Master uses the power of the Golden Dragon and Golden Mech to fight him off.

The First Spinjitzu Master splits Ninjago in two parts (Ninjago and the Dark Island), with the Overlord banished to the Dark Island and the Stone Army entombed underneath Ninjago City, leaving the ultimate battle between good and evil yet to be finished.

The First Spinjitzu Master creates the Realm Crystal.

The Serpentine come into existence, along with the humans who colonize the land, building cities, villages, and other places. The first Elemental Masters are created as well.

Samurai Warriors are hired to protect the land of Ninjago.

The Sons of the First Spinjitzu Master

(Centuries Ago)

Garmadon is born as the first son of the First Spinjitzu Master. He is given the element of Destructionby his father.[2]

Wu is born as the second son. He is given the element of Creation by his father, in order for his children to represent balance.[3]

Garmadon and Wu spar one day, but Wu loses one of the katanas over the wall of their monastery. Afraid of their father's disapproval, Wu chooses not to go after it, but Garmadon does. In the process, he is bitten by the young Great Devourer, and becomes ill as its evil venom starts to affect him.

Wu and Garmadon learn Spinjitzu from their father.

The First Master of Spinjitzu dies[4], but first leaves a hidden message for Wu that will lead him to his final resting place where the Realm Crystal is hidden. Additionally, the siblings also gain kimonos with protection spells against evil.

Wu and Garmadon fight and defeat Samukai.

200 Years before the events of the Pilot:

Stone Warrior statues are uncovered, marking the era of the Stone Warrior. [5]

Captain Soto and Nadakhan's crews would clash in a battle between their ships, the Destiny's Bounty and Misfortune's Keep, with Soto proving victorious. Soto traps Nadakhan within the Teapot of Tyrahn and scatters the Sky Pirates across the Sixteen Realms, before going on to look for the whereabouts of the Island of Darkness.[6]

In his search for the Island of Darkness, Soto's crew accidentally crashes into the coast of Ninjago, causing their ship to sink and killing them.

The First Serpentine War

(Decades Ago)

40 years before the events of Hands of Time:

Morro dies in the Caves of Despair and his soul is banished to the Cursed Realm.

Dr. Julien builds Zane, the first Nindroid, and builds the Falcon as a companion.[7]

Garmadon trains under Master Chen alongside Clouse, and later, Garmadon gains the title Lord (as Chen's right hand). Meanwhile, Wu finds Morro, and trains him.

Morro fails to become the Green Ninja and attempts to find the tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master.

As conflicts between the Serpentine and humans arise as a result of paranoia over the Curse of the Golden Master, Chen takes advantage and tricks both sides into attacking each other.

The Serpentine War begins, and Garmadon defects from Chen. Garmadon, Wu and the Elemental Masters fight the Serpentine, who in turn eventually split up. The five tribes begin fighting among each other. Garmadon develops the Sacred Flute, allowing the humans to win the war. The Serpentine are locked away in their tombs, the Anacondrai generals are banished to the Cursed Realm, and Chen and Clouse are banished to an Island far from Ninjago due to their involvement with the Serpentine.

The Hands of Time, Acronix and Krux, betray Wu and Garmadon and try to take over Ninjago with their Elemental Time Powers.

Ray and Maya forge the Time Blades; Wu and Garmadon use them to battle the Time Twins and steal their power. Wu and Garmadon dispose of the Time Blades through a temporal rift as Acronix and Krux follow them and became lost in time.

At some point, Krux emerges from the Temporal Rift along with the Reversal Time Blade and begins plotting his revenge on Ray and Maya for creating the Time Blades, and Wu and Garmadon for stripping him and his brother off their powers and causing them to be lost in Time.

Ray and Maya find the Reversal Time Blade and Wu has them dispose of it in the Boiling Sea.

At some point after the war, Garmadon marries Misako.

The Birth of the Ninja

(Nearly Two Decades Ago)

Possibly 16 years before the events of the Pilot[8]:

Jay is left at the doorstep of Ed and Edna, and the couple adopt him as their own.

Possibly 14-15 years before the events of the Pilot[9]:

Kai is born to elemental masters of Fire and Water respectively, Ray and Maya.

Jay is born to Cliff Gordon and the Elemental Master of Lightning.

Cole is born to Lou and an unknown mother.

Nya is born as the second child of Ray and Maya.[10]

Battle Between Brothers

(Several Years Ago)

Around a decade before the events of Rise of the Snakes:

5 years before the events of Rise of the Snakes:

Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon is born to Garmadon and Misako.[11]

The evil in Garmadon completely takes over him, and it mainly manifests itself in the form of overwhelming greed. He returns to the Monastery of Spinjitzu to steal the Golden Weapons in an attempt to recreate Ninjago in his own image. Wu confronts him, and after a short battle, the combination of the four weapons and the protection spell on their kimonos opens a gateway to the Underworld, where Garmadon is struck down to. As he fully succumbs to the evil in his veins, Garmadon battles Samukai (leader of the Skulkin) for command over the Skulkin army, and easily wins (becoming the ruler of the Underworld). Wu realizes that Garmadon will stop at nothing to get the Golden Weapons, so he hides them away in secret locations, each guarded by a dragon. Wu then makes a map of the four secret locations, and gave the map to a trustworthy friend to keep.

Kai and Nya's parents, Ray and Maya, are taken by Krux for his plan.

In his final moments, Dr. Julien erases Zane's memories. Zane becomes an orphan, but Dr. Julien is soon revived by Samukai to construct vehicles for them (being reunited with his son as ransom). When he disagrees, the Skulkin take him to a Lighthouse Prison guarded by a Leviathan, to force him to design their vehicles. After he successfully complies with their demands, the Skulkin do not release him from the prison, and leave him there.

Misako drops off a young Lloyd at Darkley's Boarding School (in a precognitive precaution), so she can go find a way to prevent the father and son from facing each other.

Masters of Spinjitzu

(Pilot)

Master Wu finds Cole climbing a mountain, Jay testing an invention, and Zane meditating under a frozen lake.

The three train together for a short time as a team of ninja.

Kai and Nya work in the Four Weapons Blacksmith when Master Wu comes in search for a ninja to train: Kai. However, the hard working blacksmith declines Wu's offer. Soon after, Samukai and his army (ordered by Lord Garmadon) attack the blacksmith in search the Map of the Golden Weapons, and in the process manages to get both the map and kidnap Nya. Encouraged by compassion for his sister, Kai agrees to train in the art of Spinjitzu under Wu's teaching to become a ninja.

Kai begins training as the Fire Ninja, and in the same instance meets his new teammates: Cole (the Earth Ninja), Jay (the Lightning Ninja), and Zane (the Ice Ninja).

The Ninja team begin their hunt for the Golden Weapons.

Kai goes to the Fire Temple and finds his sister and the Sword of Fire. While retrieving both, it is revealed to be a trap set by Lord Garmadon. Master Wu then rescues Kai and Nya, but discover theother ninja have been ambushed by the Skeletons, with the weapons stolen. Master Wu then takes the Sword to go to the Underworld to confront his brother.

The Ninja tame their respective Dragons and head to the Underworld.

Samukai and Master Wu fight for the Sword of Fire, but Samukai wields the three other Golden Weapons and wins. Samukai then betrays Garmadon, attempting to take the Golden Weapons for himself, but their combined power causes him to implode, opening a portal to the Dark Realm. Garmadon escapes through the portal, aspiring to gain a way to possess all four weapons, leaving Ninjago in peace.

They find the Scythe of Quakes.

They find the Shurikens of Ice.

They find the Nunchucks of Lightning.

Rise of the Snakes

(Season 1)

Lloyd gets kicked out of Darkley's Boarding School after spending his whole life there and makes his journey to Jamanakai Village, in an effort to become like his father. He terrorizes the village, but is soon suppressed by the Ninja.

Seeking revenge on the Ninja for humiliating him, Lloyd releases the Hypnobrai from their tomb. Lloyd tricks the Hypnobrai General, Slithraa, into hypnotizing himself and gains leverage over the tribe.

Lloyd returns to Jamanakai Village with the entire Hypnobrai tribe. The tribe uses hypnotism to take control over the citizens. The Ninja arrive to stop him and defeat the Hypnobrai, freeing the people and taking the tribe's staff. However, Skales (the Hypnobrai second-in-command) manages to post-hypnotize Cole.

Zane finds a Falcon after another evening of feeling left out from the Ninjas' antics, and he follows the Falcon to a Treehouse being constructed by Lloyd and the Serpentine. He informs the Ninja of his discovery, and they begin their mission to destroy it. Just before they finish the destruction, Skales uses the previous post-hypnotic command on Cole to attack the Ninja. As the Ninja struggle to fight Cole, Master Wu and Nya arrive on Kai's dragon, using a flute (later to be described as one of the flutes of the First Spinjitzu Master used to banish the Serpentine in tombs) to snap Cole out of his trance. The group hurry back to the unguarded Monastery, only to find that the Hypnobrai had burned it down in search for their staff. Cole, Jay, and Kai blame Zane for the loss of their home, and in the ruckus, no one notices Zane flying off on his dragon. Later on, the Ninja try to make the best of their situation, but immediately regret what they had said to Zane. To their surprise, Zane returns, conveying to them that he had not been hurt by what they had said, but merely had seen and followed the Falcon again. He then leads them to where he had followed the falcon to: an abandoned ship in the middle of the Sea of Sand, that would be their new home, and goes by the name "Destiny's Bounty."

After being betrayed by the Hypnobrai, Lloyd uses a map of other tombs to find the Tomb of the Fangpyre and reawakens the Fangpyre Tribe.

Master Wu informs the Ninja that their Dragons have reached the age when they need to fly off in order to go through a stage of metamorphosis. This leaves the Ninja without transportation.

Jay and the Ninja go to Ed & Edna's Scrap N Junk to visit Jay's parents, Ed and Edna, only to find out the Fangpyre have injected venom into them, and Lloyd has taken over the Junkyard.

To fight off the Fangpyre (who's venom turn's people and objects into snakes), the Ninja find out they can transform their weapons into elemental vehicles (Jay's Storm Fighter, Kai's Blade Cycle, Zane's Ice Glider, and Cole's Tread Assault). They manage to get the Fangpyre Staff, which Nya extracts the anti-venom from to reverse the effects on Ed and Edna. With a bit of help from Jay's father, Jay activates the Bounty's new flying function that allows them to escape the approaching Fangpyre, but the staff falls over board in the process.

Master Wu travels to a dark dimension and finds Lord Garmadon, who's revealed to have four arms. After informing him of Lloyd's releasing the Serpentine and his imprisonment at Pythor's hands, Garmadon agrees to return to Ninjago to rescue his son.

After following the Falcon into Birchwood Forest, Zane finds out that he and the Falcon are robots. Prior to this event, Zane was in shock for a while. Zane discovered a memory switch in his robotic body which leads to him remembering his creator. After accepting this, Zane discovers his True Potential.

Jay and Nya are at the Mega Monster Amusement Park but Jay becomes a snake after pricking his finger on a skeleton from a Fangpyre. Meanwhile, Pythor and the other Serpentine find the first Fangblade. They tie Nya to a rollercoaster and Nya reveals to Jay that she is Samurai X. After that, Jay discovers his True Potential.

The Ninja are searching for the second Fangblade and Cole says he has seen the Fangblade on the Blade Cup, a trophy which his father had won many times. The Ninja go to Cole's father and train to be dancers to get the Cup but the Serpentine sees it too. The Ninja go to the Concert Hall of Ninjago City and win the Cup but Pythor steals it and crushes Cole and his father, leading Cole to discover his True Potential.

After all his training, Kai unlocks his True Potential upon realizing he wasn't destined to become the Green Ninja but to protect him: everyone soon realizes Lloyd is the Green Ninja and must face his father. Meanwhile, the Serpentine obtain the Fangpyre Fangblade and are one away from releasing The Great Devourer.

The Ninja capture Spitta and later figure out that the Serpentine are using underground tunnels to avoid them.

Lloyd suggests getting the remaining three Fangblades while Python retrieves the Venomari Fangblade. The Ninja train in preparation and infiltrate the Constrictai Tomb, leaving Lloyd and Garmadon behind.

Lloyd catches his father trying to steal the Ninjas' secrets, and confronting him, gets him to leave. The ninja fight the Serpentine, only to fall into Pythor's trap.

Pythor places the Fangblades together and holds a Slither Pit to celebrate.

Lloyd dons the Green Ninja robes and confronts Pythor alongside his father and the Skulkin. The ninja get the fang blades and escape on the Destiny's Bounty, but Pythor sneaks inside.

Master Wu gets a vision of the Great Devourer being awoken.

Pythor saves the Fang blades from being thrown into Torchfire Mountain and escapes on a nearby train with his Serpentine forces, converting it into the Serpentine Train.

The Ninja pursue Pythor, but he manages to awaken the Great Devourer, only to be eaten alongside Master Wu.

The Great Devourer destroys the Destiny's Bounty.

The Ninja use the Tornado of Creation to create the Ultra Sonic Raider and use it to discover the Great Devourer's weakness on its forehead.

The Great Devourer attacks Ninjago City and the ninja are helpless against it, even when the dragons return in the form of the Ultra Dragon.

Garmadon attempts to go back to the Dark Realm, but upon noticing the return of the serpent that cursed him, arrives to help the ninja kill it.

The Ninja begrudgingly entrust Garmadon with the Golden Weapons, and Garmadon destroys the Great Devourer, only to escape with the weapons in tow. Master Wu survives, reconciling with the ninja, and Pythor escapes, undetected.

Joe Biden bets on previous allies to assist him confront new crises Collectively, they signify the achievement of a promise — courting again to the early days of the first — that Biden would prioritize experience and governing expertise steeped within the average mainstream of the Democratic Celebration. However he has additionally been criticized, largely from the left, for closing his eyes to the challenges he’ll face in bringing Republicans to the desk and never broadening his interior circle. It’s a group, Biden allies say, that has been assembled realizing that the brand new president will enter workplace with no area for bureaucratic hiccups, pointless drama or on-the-job coaching. The coronavirus pandemic is killing hundreds of Individuals every single day and decimating the economic system, whereas exposing calamitous gaps within the social security web. “Usually, a brand new administration tries to measure their success and plan their accomplishments for the primary hundred days. However this can be a group that does not have that type of luxurious,” stated New Jersey Rep. Andy Kim, a former civil servant who labored on the Pentagon and State Division. “It is a group that must be postured not for 100 days, however for 100 hours.” The Trump administration’s foot-dragging has additional difficult the scenario. A presidential appointee in November delayed formally acknowledging the election outcomes, briefly locking Biden staffers out of the workplaces they are going to quickly takeover. And Trump continues to publicly amplify absurd claims a few rigged election whereas chatting over dead-end plots to overturn its outcomes. “What provides me consolation,” Kim stated, amid uncertainty over administration officers’ cooperation, “is realizing that this Biden group is aware of govern already, that this can be a group that has been examined.” Breaking into the interior circle However a number of the selections Kim says are serving to him “sleep higher at evening” have additionally rankled Democrats who have been hoping Biden would forged a wider web. Biden has stated he needs to be a “bridge” to a brand new era of leaders. However lots of these closest to him, particularly in senior White Home positions, are both loyalists or grizzled get together operatives. The announcement on Tuesday that Bruce Reed, Biden’s chief of employees as vp, will likely be his deputy chief of employees subsequent 12 months underscored the President-elect’s want to encompass himself with longtime allies — even when they anger some within the get together. Main progressives have spent weeks arguing that Reed, a centrist who labored on the 1994 crime invoice and welfare reform throughout his time in Invoice Clinton’s White Home, must be shut out. Progressives vying to embed leaders from their very own ranks have broadly praised the marketing campaign and transition for being accessible, however have discovered that convincing Biden to step out of his consolation zone might be the best hurdle to clear. “The actual problem,” stated Julian Courageous NoiseCat, the vp of coverage and technique with Information for Progress, “is extra of who’s within the interior circle — and the way do you get people who find themselves not within the interior circle into consideration.” Biden’s interior sanctum of aides is on observe to carry a slate of essentially the most influential jobs within the White Home. Incoming chief of employees Ron Klain is a longtime Biden confidante and Steve Ricchetti, one other shut ally, will likely be counselor to the president. Mike Donilon, who held that job in Biden’s vice presidential workplace, has been named senior adviser to the president. Antony Blinken, Biden’s prime international coverage adviser, will likely be a brief stroll away on the State Division, which he has been nominated to steer. Susan Rice, Denis McDonough, John Kerry, Tom Vilsack and Vivek Murthy are among the many Obama administration veterans more likely to be a part of Biden’s — with Vilsack and Murthy nominated to the identical positions they held beneath Obama. Biden has additionally recruited quite a few progressive leaders, led by New Mexico Rep. Deb Haaland, to prime jobs and extra to influential however lower-profile advisory positions. The additions on Monday of a former prime aide to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Bharat Ramamurti, as deputy director for the Nationwide Financial Council for Monetary Reform and Shopper Safety, and Joelle Gamble, tapped to be particular assistant to the president for financial coverage, to Biden’s Nationwide Financial Council have been main victories for liberals. And the identical announcement that included Reed additionally named Gautam Raghavan, chief of employees to Congressional Progressive Caucus chair Rep. Pramila Jayapal earlier than becoming a member of the transition, as deputy director of the Workplace of Presidential Personnel. However the administration’s large tent nonetheless facilities on the middle, making a roster up to now that largely displays the President-elect’s politics whereas in search of to ship on his pledge to craft a group that “seems like America.” That effort has yielded a whirlwind of historic firsts, starting together with his resolution in August to faucet California Sen. Kamala Harris, who will quickly turn out to be the primary Black girl and individual of South Asian descent to function vp. Over the previous few weeks, Biden has rolled financial, public well being and international coverage groups stacked with groundbreaking nominees. Amongst them, pending approval within the Senate: Former Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen, the primary girl to carry that job, who’s now in line to do the identical as Treasury secretary. California Legal professional Normal Xavier Becerra, chosen to run the Division of Well being and Human Companies, can be the primary Latino in that place. Retired Military Gen. Lloyd Austin is in line to be the primary Black individual to go the Protection Division. A longtime nationwide safety skilled, Avril Haines, is on observe to be the primary girl to function director of nationwide intelligence. Alejandro Mayorkas can be the primary Latino and immigrant to serve on the helm of Homeland Safety. Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Biden’s alternative for the Transportation Division, will — if confirmed — turn out to be the primary out LGBTQ Cupboard member authorized by the Senate. Liberals vow to not repeat previous errors The Biden transition has been distinctive for the extreme scrutiny it has acquired from a various assortment of curiosity teams and motion leaders. It’s the first Democratic Cupboard-filling course of to play out within the social media period. These main the cost from the left are additionally extra knowledgeable and bullish concerning the powers of the presidency and company leaders than they have been greater than a decade in the past, when Obama took workplace. “The Revolving Door Undertaking is an specific response to what I noticed because the failings of progressives in 2008 and 2009, however much more usually throughout the Obama period to completely have interaction with the significance of the chief department,” stated Jeff Hauser, the watchdog group’s founder and director. “Particularly the transition, however all through.” However Hauser, whose criticism of nominees and potential picks over their enterprise ties has reportedly irked some round Biden, is extra of a wonk-with-a-cause — to stress Democrats to aggressively pursue their agenda by means of all accessible means — than a insurgent firebrand. “I perceive that amidst all these crises, there is a bias for experience,” Hauser stated. “Biden thinks he has a mandate on that primarily based off of how he positioned himself within the major. And so whether or not or not it is precisely what I might do, I can respect that as having a foundation.” The questions going ahead, he added, doubtless will not be answered in headlines and headline-grabbing nominations to huge bureaucracies, however down the pecking order as Biden, his group and senior administration leaders start to fill out assistant secretary, undersecretary and chief of employees jobs — all alternatives to herald much less seasoned however completed folks from outdoors the churn of Washington, DC. Melissa Byrne, a former aide to Sen. Bernie Sanders who frolicked on the primary Obama marketing campaign and volunteered for a interval on his transition, argued that empowering personnel with motion backgrounds would profit the White Home in the course of the inevitable conflicts with hardline Republicans. Her issues converse to broader anxieties amongst Democrats, who fear that Biden’s orbit is likely to be overestimating its capacity to forge good religion negotiations with a radicalized, Trump-loyal GOP. “You want folks that do not waver when issues get actually laborious. As a result of that is going to be actually laborious. I do not know if individuals are actually ready for what the Trumpers are going to be doing over the following 4 years,” Byrne stated. “It may make the Tea Celebration seem to be they have been Obama’s BFFs.” The promise of Biden’s marketing campaign, within the primaries and the overall election showdown with Trump, additionally looms over post-campaign decision-making. His mandate is huge and sophisticated, and it may — when he takes workplace and begins to push his agenda — create conflicting imperatives. The largest problem forward, stated Nina Smith, a former marketing campaign aide to Buttigieg, will likely be, merely, “the politics.” “Biden is presenting himself as a healer and healers should take care of wounds and scars. And this can be a nation that has been deeply wounded and scarred,” Smith stated. “So the politics of every little thing from the insurance policies he pursues, to who reveals up in numerous conferences, to who he hires to implement his agenda — it is all on the desk.” Supply hyperlink #Allies #bets #Biden #Confront #Crises #Joe #JoeBidenbetsonoldalliestohelphimconfrontnewcrises-CNNPolitics #Politics
