7.19 Tony's Story

Tony POV

          It sometimes is really annoying when I'm seem to be stuck in a sort of fairy godparent  like role -where I can't interact with the characters -either main characters or supporting characters unless the characters need me and this seems to be an ongoing thing since the generations AFTER (Gen 4-6 not counting the current one)  I was introduced into the story.    And why are people so s gullible to "brainless, heartless, cowards/with no powers?"  

Henry said "Could you please hurry up and finish what you're doing so I can tell your stories within my story?" 

      Like I said,  I don't know why people do that maybe because its either they have dirt on them, or in a toxic relationship.  And as you will see, we  will have both in this chapter but Henry can tell the stories I will tell him from the others who were trapped under someone who "ain't no wizard" 

Henry 's POV

   Dear diary,  after many months,  Tony finally called me.  He told me he had the news.   I asked on the phone "So what's the stich? Did you find why these people are under Wade's thumb?"  "Did you find where Owl  might be?"    Tony told me "Hawk I can't speak over the phone-the walls have ears you know- but I can take you and just you on a camping trip."    I said "I really think Sparrow should know as well- so should come on the camping trip"   Tony: "Hawk Why didn't Dumbledore tell Professor McGonagall, or another professor or someone like the Weasleys about Horcruxes/the plan?"  Me "Because the ;fewer people who know about them,. the less likely it  is for the secert to get out if captured?"  Tony: Exactly- that's why I can only take YOU camping."

"on the camping Trip"

A couple of days into our camping trip - I got really annoyed with Meatball and asked him "When are you going to talk to me about .."  Tony said "SHH- get the fire pit started out side. I will be out shortly

.

I don't understand why we need to talk outside isn't inside the better choice in private conversations? But I guess the cabin could be bugged.  

Tony came out and then he started talking   "So that the story goes as this,  as pre-teenagers,  Owl and Sparrow fall out because Owl was with the wrong crowd of Falcons.  And when they're all teenagers,  the Falcons, minus Owl,  start spreading rumours about Sparrow having  a lot of "relationships" but know of them were true,  but it gave her low-self esteem, that when Owl didn't want to listen to her,  that Sparrow  attempted to take her life   but she was saved because Owl was able to get to her in time-almost." 

Me " come on, I know that, I'm the one who made the bloody call!" 

Tony; "Maybe I continue?"

Me: "yeah sure"

Tony "After Sparrow awoke from her coma,  after some training  from their love interests,  that they fought with the people that caused sparrow's to attempt sucide. They won,  and one of the competitors swore revenge.   They got one love interest out of the way by sending him to enlist in the miltary where he became MIA when he wasn't, and after Sparrow and Owl graduated college, they created an accident for Owl to have."     "Which she did have,  and then as the love interest was flying back to be at Owl's side,  Sparrow got the news she was dead.  and that caused the love interest to obbessed"

I then got really angry "Do we have to tell almost the entire story of everything that happened from Owl and Sparrow, falcons, and my pre-teen years to the present?  This exposition is quite lengthy as it is, without having to tell the entire story.  Could we cut to the chase, and you tell me what you found out about the Falcons? Or WHILE YOU"RE AT IT RETELL THE ENTIRE SWANSON HISTORY FROM CLARISSA'S FOUNDING IT UNTIL NOW!"

Tony:

"Well first thing is I went to Madeline first and by treating her very nicely like taking them to an Italian restaurant, and then talking them to a fancy house and letting her nap on my shoulder.   She told me what she knew."

Madeline's Story:

:So after the double battle between Jane and HAM,   Wade got us all together.  For some reason, I  don't know he did called Charlene some toxic words but you will find out why when you talk to her- but he got al  6 of us beside himself together and he has this "master plan" that 1. to get Henry out of the way and 2. lay down low for a bit,  and then stage a car accident at the perfect time.   But in order for it to work- the rest of us had to fall in line and he had dirt on everyone there."

"For myself, the dirt on myself is that I'm been seeing Prince Dan, Jane and HAM's uncle,  but I wouldn't ever be able to marry him because my parents have betrothed me to someone else-another Asian guy.. and I already let my parents down by not studying business I believe it was.  So that Wade said that if I didn't fall in line with  him, he would tell my parents about me not honouring my betrothed ..so i did what he said.   I technically DID have an acting job- that day when I was the server "    Tony-in-the-past "let me guess the "acting gig you had that day WAS being the server?"  Madeline "yes, exactly but my script from  Wade was to pretend I didn't have a gig, and to explain the whole actor-being-server-or other-customer facing job to any reporters on scene" 

*back to campground*- Henry's talking

"That's very sad for Madeline that she can't tell her parents that she's doesn't want to get married to this Asian person they have engaged her too.   Maybe she should see a counselor and get up the courage to actual tell her parents about seeing Prince Dan."     

Tony: "May I continue with the stories? We have five more stories to go so it will be a long night." 

Susana's Story 

"My story is that as teenager when I wasn't hanging Madeline and Charlene I was on the girl's soccer team.  The coach was "very nice" to me if you get my drift and without the other girls, would take me back to his place and give me drinks. Sometimes we would go on non-soccer trips to other countries and he would tell me to sleep  with him at the hotel.  After we got home and I found out I was pregnant he paid me to have an abortion and  he told everyone I'm was the one who was "Dirty"  and I had paid to sleep with him."

Rocco's Story

The dirt on me is my Mom isn't actually my Mom. She's actually my step-mom.  My Dad is a private attorney.  So at interviews and such he would say  "Do the right thing" but turns out  he has had some affairs from his sectaries and one of those sectaries is my actually mother.  I had kind of wonder why I  didn't have much of a close connection to the person who I called 'Mother'.   Apparently after my birth mom gave birth to me, she left me on the Bakernun's doorstep and vanished.  I don't know if she's alive, or dead or what.  If it came out I'm an out of wedlock baby Dad would be ruined" 

Victor's Story

The dirt on me is that as a teenager I got into a lot of fights and did underage drinking and criminal mischief which means I have a juvenile record and i spend some time in Juvenile Hall for a couple of days for being a "delinquent teen".  I have tried to get it expunged so I am able to do stuff but a certain someone isn't allowing it to get expunged  

Ralph's Story

"The dirt on me is that because my Doctor  Mom has become addicted to a lot of drugs, I'm have opened up a business in order to launder money in order to buy the drugs to keep Mom's supply of drugs on low-down before she gets fired from the hospital."

Back to the Campfire

Tony stopped to take a breathe while telling the others' stories.   I asked him why wasn't Charlene's story after Madeline's.  Tony told me "its because with her living with you know,  its difficult to get him out of the house long enough to be able to get Charlene away long enough.  And Charlene's in a bit of a bad shape. Because of  the what, six years, of being with him between when Hannah II had the 'accident' and now and he became as toxic like people like Harley Berjsen, or Mr. Baron. "

"I had to use the other five people mentioned already to  help in order to get him out of the house and distracted enough so I could get Charlene away from there.  My only problem is I could only leave her at the homeless shelter and that's too close for comfortable for me to his place." 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Charlene's Story

"There isn't much dirt on me  Except  in late high school,  I ended up living with him and his family, due to some kind of incident that happened at a certain party,  and I ended up with his baby.. I thought it was Rocco's baby, at first but he said- when I was too drunk at the party, that he had taken me into a bedroom to sleep off my drunkenness' and went back to the party..   I'm not exactly sure what happened because I was drunk off my rocker.  But Wade said my baby was his and since my parents kicked me out due to it,  I  moved in with him.    But he's a really big jerk,  he makes me self-doubt myself and say "no one will love me as much as he does",  and that "I'm lazy witch" when I try to do a self-care day.  At times, I want to leave him but he will say if I do, I wouldn't be able to see my son again."  "Or he might say if I take the son, that he will file a missing person's report and/or say I kidnapped the son." 

Actually he's the one who made me go to seeing a therapist that's how I ended up seeing Hannah II  as my therapist. 

The day of the accident what Wade and I were actually fighting about had originally been staged.. but what we ended up fighting about was how I wanted to get out of the whole "get Jane out of the way plan" to get back at her (and Hannah II) for them beating us in the fights all those years ago.    He said stuff like "I only was thinking about myself",   and "WAY ARE YOU LOOKING INTO MY EMAILS? ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME?  YOU WOULD ONLY BE LOOKING INTO MY STUFF IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE?!"  And also "I don't care how cold it is outside, you look ridiculous no one I'm married to will be seen looking like that"  and "you're the one who left it on, I'm not going to do you any favours, its the only way you;ll learn" 

_________________________________________________________________________

Back to the Campfire

We sat there at the campfire   thinking for a few minutes when Tony spoke up again.   "Jane is alive, as you suspected she was due to your dream. "      I said "So where is she?  Is she all right?"  "Will I be able to see her?"   Tony replied "Well  I have some good news and some bad news"    Tony: "I will start with the good news- Jane is safe but she's chained up asleep in the Enrichments' dungeons."      I asked 'Why hasn't anyone rescued her yet?"   Tony: "Well beside the fact people think she's dead-there's some kind of curse on her which is causing a problem in rescuing her"   I asked "what's the curse?"    Tony said "Well the saying is from the people in the know, is that if a relative tries to take her awhile, they will fall into the same kind of sleeping curse Jane's is in and she still wouldn't awake.  But they say her true love, if still alive (they don't know you're here)- he can recuse Jane and not fall into the sleeping curse."     I said "I forgot to ask,  how did they get Jane out of the hospital?"  Tony: "Something similar to what Darcy Grant did all those years ago with Carly Swanson."   I said "so somehow she was putting into a sleeping curse-which is contagious to her relatives, and is wheeled out holding a baby and a toddler and then is taken to the Enrichment castle?"    Tony "Basically"     Tony added "I also visited chained up sleeping  Jane in the Enrichment castle but I had to disguise myself because of the fact the priests know me there. 

I said "I jus wish there was a way to help these people.  I will have to talk to Hannah II about this but we might be able to figure out something.  I will have to ask if its okay for Charlene and her son to move into my apartment- and we will work out how we can help out the others.   Charlene wants to work with Public relations so maybe she could try to find Rocco's birth mother? But don't know how I can help the others solve their issue.  Well with Victor I could see if  my Selene could make sure his record gets expunged.  I could at least convince Madeline that she should tell her parents the truth about her seeing Dan maybe by spinning it so that if she ends up with Prince Dan, instead of this guy-that's the better Honourable deal for their family -sure she wouldn't ever be able to become Queen because Dan's adopted but being married to a Prince is a good thing. But that just leaves me with Ralph and Susanna to deal with."     

A couple of weeks later 

its me again, Tony.   So what has happened so far is that we got Charlene and her child move into Henry's apartment.  

Henry had a talk with Empress Selene about what she could do about Victor's juvenile record and she said she would see into it.  

We can't have Charlene found Rocco's birth mother who abounded him with his Dad due to Wade still being on the loose.  And Madeline has confronted her Dad about she's calling off the arranged marriage to Archer parker.  

We 're still working on the other two people to figure out what to do about them.    With everyone but Charlene's help,  the other five people have one again distracted Wade.  They only did that so Henry was able to go into the Enrichment Castle and rescues Crown Princess Jane- what will happen next? 

 

 

7.18 The Groom Prince

HANNAH II'S POV

Dear diary, I'm in such an upset mood today.   I had to break off my engagement to Prince Maxwell Aquatint for person reasons 

After I got the werid call,  and I welcomed Henry back home,  I went to the hospital and saw Jane's empty bed which was very creepy despite knowing it was empty

a couple of days later I got a an anonymous letter the letter claimed 

that Jane had gotten out of bed the morning she died, and got into the driver's seat of a  car and caused an accident and that by the time paramedics took her back to the hospital she was dead.

I  shared this news with Henry and his sister Lindsay  and we're really sad and Henry even read the letter himself -I think he was looking to see if there was any clues maybe to where it might have come from

After they left while knitting  I thought of the implications this meant for me  as the now eldest -it is my duty to replace Mom when I marry.  That also means I have to break up with Prince Maxwell because it wouldn't do for us to both inherit monarchies a conflict of interests would arise and since he's the sole heir there's no siblings there's no one who can take his throne if he was to abdicated.   I could technically leave the throne to my younger sisters, but they wouldn't know what me and Jane went through.  And also for some reason, I don't know the heiress has to marry Henry because that what Jane would have done.   Also its my fault I believe that Jane died-

But all I could imagine is me not knowing what to say at stuff like charity balls or being clumsy like Princess Mia from the Princess Diaries is at her first Royal Event

 "it happens all the time"

I had a very hard thought about this and decided it was best to break off my engagement with Princes Maxwell.   I had a long conversation with him about why this had to be done, and he understood but was still sad about it. 

 I will let Henry take over now to tell you the rest of what happened 

HENRY'S POV

Dear diary, I'm sad, tense and maybe happy at the same time.  I have reason to believe that Jane might still be alive! 

So Hannah II and I went out bowling a

and we also went out to eat as well. 

Because I'm have PTSD from the serving in war I'm training my own service dog because its too expensive to buy one from a school. 

As part of the training  Hannah II and I took the Squee to the Brindleton Museum 

 Hannah II and I a couple of days later had another lunch date. 

I had a strange dream one night and it was I was marrying Hannah II and someone came up (I think an older version of me?)  and said 

"STOP THE WEDDING!"

and when he explained "YOUR TRUE LOVE STILL LIVES!"

and then he left saying "boo" to the invisible guests that were there  saying "I was the prince of Garbage" 

I then  woke  up from the dream 

I wonder what the dream meant.  Didn't the letter say that Jane had died? What about the call that Hannah II received before I arrived at the airport?  But I read another stories that I know people fake this things all the time

One day Hannah and I  stayed in and had a bit of fun ticking each other 

and we had our last lunch date  at yet another restaurant.  All the restaurants were very nice ones we ate at 

a couple of days later Hannah II proposed to me and 

I had a flash back to my dream    

"YOUR TRUE LOVE STILL LIVES!"

I turned down Hannah II and then went home where 

I had a shorter version of "the Dream"

YOUR TRUE LOVE STILL LIVES!"

and then he left saying "boo" to the invisible guests that were there  saying "I was the prince of Garbage" 

I   woke up  soon after this short dream- wonder why it was so short this time?   

I once again sat on my bed and wonder if everything  was a lie and Jane was still alive?  But who could we contact that's not in  The Honourable Wade's pocket?  Both Jane and Hannah II have told me about the Swansons past so I thought threw and suddenly thought Meatball! he's the only one out of Wade's pocket and he been a godfather literally to the Swansons since Elizabeth's time 

First I called Hannah II to explain my dream and how I was sure that everything was lie that the Wade and the others were giving us. I even told her about "the dream"  When she asked who we're going to contact I said "Your family's godfather, Tony because he's the only one out of Wade's pocket"  

After finishing with Hannah II I then  called Tony "Hi, you don't know me I'm was Jane's"   Tony on the other side, said "Yes you're Jane's boyfriend- how may I help you?  ME  "Could Hannah  II and I meet your somewhere tomorrow?"   Tony "How about the office in the O'Malley's homeless shelter?"   ME: "Sure see you tomorrow" 

Hannah and I went to see Tony the next day.   I never explained but the reason Hannah II is wearing a head scarf is for repetency like Jane did when Hannah was in that bad comma   But back to seeing Tony 

We went into the office and I explained about the bullying Hannah II explained in high school and the tapes, etc and how I think because of a dream that Jane is still alive 

Tony said "So that you wants me to figure out what dirt Wade has on Rosa, Feng, Bheeda , Baker, Premore and Red and how long has it been going on?" 

I answer "Yes basically maybe we could use this information to get HIM arrested after all the trouble he caused the Swansons."
