Time for a talent show. The last time Gardenia had been too young. This time she went alone and signed up on her own.
She did some acting.
It finished. And whatever could have happened... didn't happen.
She didn't go home though. She was mad. About the talent show and what happened recently.
She needed some fun time. Tried the nightclub.
April came down too once Gardenia invited her. Also, aunt Katra was there. And Elliana too, at the back, wearing black.
And cause of recent happenings Gardenia was feeling rebellious.
She was almost a oyung adult so the drinks were in order.
Had a chat with foremother Elliana.
April didn't drink. Had some food and chatted to aunt Katra.
At one point Gardenia was drinking out of two glasses. Plus she was sick again.
But...
Okay then!?
She continued to flaunt her good reputation.
Had a dance off with Elliana.
Gardenia did well but Elliana hit herself in the face. Fail!
More flaunting of the good stuff...
She peed in the club. Not in it's toilet.
The whole night didn't go unnoticed to dead dad.
Well, at least the Elliana bit. Weirdly, he didn't notice the underage drinking, peeing in public and missing school in the early morning hours of Gardenia partying.
She got home in the morning at least. Wasted.
Biolina had got back from her mini holiday. She still had her henna tattoos she had got in her rebellious days.

Later Shyer Goldsmith came over. Only April hung out with him.

Gardenia was badly hungover.
She chatted to the butler to feel better. The chat turned into fun mischief. She dared him to streak.
It was fun at first.
But up close... not so much.

GOD holiday came up. The first family holiday after the parents' deaths. None of the girls cared about the grand meal cause they were teens. But they were gonna celebrate the holiday anyway.

In the morning though, Biolina and April both went for a jog.
They teamed up and jogged home together.
They saw this stray dog and thought of adopting an animal too. They didn't try to get this dog but the doggo planted an idea.

One of the old men Gardenia had tried a little something with invited her out to the flea makret. Gardenia does not do flea markets. Plus she was still hungover and was sleeping it off.

April and Biolina got reminiscing about the family. Only happy times.
Gardenia finally woke up too, sober.
Joined the sisters.
April and Gardenia sang songs together.
And as a typical teenager, Biolina wasn't interested in such things.
But they enjoyed the holiday chat.

Oh and Gardenia was still a pupil in high school but she got a job offer for a florist position. Gardenia does not do a florist job.
