Mean while a few blocks over............

We need to talk.  (Sebastian)
I have nothing to say to you. (Rosie)  

Rosa Lynn. (Sebastian)
Don't come any closer. You old coot and stop calling me that. (Rosie)
Why, that's your name isn't it? (Sebastian)
You were the only one that called me that and I don't want to hear it. (Rosie)
You use to smile whenever I called your name. (Sebastian)
I stopped smiling when you left, so go back to where you came from. (Rosie)
We need to have a talk Rosa Lynn before I go anywhere. (Sebastian)

BAM.... CLICK (Rosie slams and locks the door)
That didn't go very well. (Sebastian Sporting)

So what time can I expect the shipment? (Justin)

No that will be all. Thanks Candice. (Justin)

Good Morning Justine. (Sebastian)
Morning Grandpa.  (Justine)
Is that a helmet? Are you about to do some damage? (Sebastian)
I'm not doing damage. I'm going skating after breakfast. (Justine)
Skating HUH? (Sebastian)
Yup can you skate, Grandpa? (Justine)

Hmm I can do a lot of things little lady,
but I don't think skating is one of them. (Sebastian)
Aww come on Grandpa skating is easy. (Justine)
I think watching you skate will be easier.  (Sebastian)

Three hours later...............

That Justine is a firecracker! (Sebastian)
Yes she is. (Justin)
When are you going to make another one? (Sebastian)
I'll have to talk to Tara about that. Pop. (Justin)
Speaking of Tara, I didn't see her this morning. Is she feeling alright? (Sebastian)
I convinced her to sleep in, we were up late last night. (Justin)
You two have a lot to talk about?  (Sebastian)
You could say that. (Justin chuckles)
(ring ring)

Justin Sporting. (Justin answering cell phone)
Justin this is your Mother. I have something really important to tell you. (Rosie)
 OK I'm listening.(Justin)
I'm not telling you over the phone. Can you come over? (Rosie)
Sure Mom, what time? (Justin)
As soon as possible PLEASE!!! (Rosie)

Mom are you OK? (Justin)
YES and NO! (Rosie)
Whats going on? (Justin)
Did you receive an uninvited visitor. (Rosie)
NO. (Justin)
GOOD!  Now get over here as soon as possible. (Rosie)

What was that all about. (Justin)
I may have something to do with it. (Sebastian)
How? She doesn't know your here. (Justin)
I stopped by your Mothers while I was out running this Morning. (Sebastian)
Geez...... Pop I thought we agreed to see her together. (Justin)
I know but I couldn't wait. (Sebastian)

Can you believe Marcus disappeared like that? What will Danielle do now? I'm sure she isn't going to just sit there and wait. Rosie usually appears fearless. Why did she run inside the house and lock the door? Is she afraid of Sebastian? See you all next Monday.

If you want to stay in this house tonight, you will be sleeping on this couch. (Danielle)
Aw come on Danny, I'm hurting too much to sleep on the couch. (Marcus)
Marcus please don't press your luck tonight.  (Danielle)

 At the cafe.....

Let me see your tablet Walker. (Barry)
Are you going to review my notes Captain. (Garrett)
Sure, Can you get me a large coffee and two butter creme donuts? (Barry)
Okay, I'll be right back. (Garrett)
(Barry takes the Sargent's tablet and deletes Marcus' statement.)

Well Well Well looks like we got some fresh meat in town. I wonder what Sebastian threw at Rosie. It must have been a whopper or was it a piece of Kentucky fried chicken he does look a little like Colonel Sanders. LOL cause that lady is EVIL. I'm guessing Marcus still has a piece of Danielle's heart. Does anyone know a good heart doctor she may need one on standby. Thanks for the Foam Board Heather. See you all next Monday.

Happy 2013 Lets start the New year with a recap

Tariq Moyer- Fashion Photographer

Tariq owns STUDIO IT. He is the older brother of Tara Sporting, loves his dog Rico and is in a relationship with retired runway model Janay Holland they met during a photo shoot. Tariq started preschool with his best friend Juanita Dayton she is his business manager and publicist. She is a very important part of his life.  Tariq splits his time between photo shoots and fashion shows all over the world his frequent flyer miles are ridiculous.  Tariq is ready to hang up his camera bag and start a family but a one night stand in Paris continues to make him question where his heart really lies. Can Tariq bury that one incredible night so he can start his life with Janay. Or will that one night continue to hold him hostage. Tariq is a Integrity toy doll he is on a 1:6 TTL Toys City T2 body. This body is not perfect but its better then the one he had I will continue to search for the perfect one.

Tara Sporting- Photographer

Tara is a freelance photographer. She is Tariq's baby sister. Tara is married to retired baseball player Justin Sporting they met during a week long photo shoot. Tara thought Justin was the sweets man she had ever met so she broke all her first, second, third, fourth and fifth date rules.   A few months after leaving Justin, she realized that sweet man from Wisconsin had stolen her heart and left her with a gift she couldn't open for nine months. When Tara finally completed all her photo assignments 4 months later she returned to Graces Grove and found Justin waiting and wanting to marry her. Tara and Justin have been on their honeymoon ever since. Unfortunately it looks like the honeymoon is now over. Tara has began questioning how she and Justin got together. She is concerned that they don't know all they should know about each other and she is tired of fighting with Justin's mother Rosie. Tara knows she loves Justin can she forget that she turned the boy into a man, ignore Rosie and let the past stay in the past so they can enjoy a future together? Tara is a so in style doll Kara she is still on her original body she will soon be replaced with the new Kara body.  Justine is So In Style Kiana. 

Janay Holland - Retired Runway Model, Veterinarian

Janay owns and operates Feather & Fur Fanatics with her best friend Barbara.  Janay and Tariq met on a bathing suit shoot the layout featured 50 models including Janay and her friends Top model Nikki and Heidi.  Janay isn't sure how or why Tariq picked her out of all these women but she is glad he did. Janay moved to Graces Grove when she retired from modeling to be with Tariq. They have been dating for 7 years. Janay is ready to be Tariq's wife, she has done everything but pop the question herself.  But Tariq has never discussed marriage with her. She knows Tariq is a good man and they enjoy being together. So what is keeping him from taking the next step. How long will Janay wait for Tariq to see she is the one? 

Janay is an Integrity toys doll on Horseback riding barbie body. I plan to compare this Janays skin tone to one of the new so in style grace dolls and will switch to that if it is a match. 

Justin Sporting- Retired Baseball Player

Justin owns and operates the Brown Suga Cafe. Justin is married to Tara they met when she photographed his baseball team. Justin had just ended  his engagement to his high school sweetheart Lindsey when Tara stepped onto the field. Justin failed to disclose this info to Tara because he was too focused on what Tara did to his heart every time he looked at her.  Justin and Tara married 4 months after meeting and daughter Justine promptly followed 5 months later. Justin moved his mother Rosie to Grace's Grove once he retired and he has since decided that this was a bad idea. Rosie presences has created friction and doubt in Justin's marriage. He loves his mother but refuses to lose Tara due to her shenanigans. There is one thing that can keep Rosie in line will Justin call upon it before he and Tara lose there way back to each other. Justin is a 100 pose fashionista ken doll.

Aaron Markz- Entrepreneur

Aaron owns the Markz restaurant chain. He is a very successful business man and has always gotten anything and everything he wanted. Aaron is in an on again off again relationship with Juanita Dayton. Believe it or not they were once engaged to be married. Juanita actually left Aaron standing at the alter.  She nor Aaron have ever revealed what stopped her from walking down that aisle but I'm sure it will come out eventually. Aaron has always loved women so because the woman he loves refuses to make him her husband he continues to play the field. To ensure there are no misunderstandings, Aaron makes each and every woman that agrees to be the chick on the side sign a 5 page contract listing the do's and don't of encounters with him. So please don't hate the player hate the game. Aaron is a Power Team Action figure. he had gloved hands and they were replaced with hands from Monkey Depot.

Juanita Dayton- Personal Business Manager

Juanita manages up and coming Superstars and is Aaron and Tariq's public relations representative. She travels at the drop of a dime or cell phone call. Juanita is in a long term relationship with Aaron Markz they have been friends since preschool. Juanita Aaron and Tariq are like the three musketeers.They promised to always tell each other the truth. Everyone thinks Juanita is a fool for loving Aaron and was happy when she fled from the church on their wedding day. Juanita and Aaron's promise to always tell each other the truth is what made her run from the church.  Juanita knows Aaron has become the president of the players club since she ended there engagement but she continues to love the man she knows him to be on the inside. Whenever things get rough she just thinks about the three months she lived in Paris. Will the love lost in her past continue to dictate the love of her future? Juanita is on the first Artsy fashionistas body I'm still trying to figure out what doll she was. I'm thinking weekend or city something.

Barbara Little-Veterinarian

Barbara is co-owner of  Feather & Fur Fanatics with Janay. They became best friends in college. Barbara is a single mother, her sons name is Barry Jr. Barbara was married to her high school sweet heart Barry but his job in the Navy seals special forces unit took a toll on the life she wanted to have with him. After finding him in one two many compromising position she promptly divorced him. Barbara's feelings for Barry have never changed and after finally going out on a date she found herself missing and wanting him more. Is Barbara's feelings for Barry just puppy love or will he forever have the key to her heart. Will Barbara put the past behind them and give Barry a second chance? Barbara is the Barbie pet vet doll she is on the sporty fashionistas body, Barry is a prince Tommy doll.
