This is a nice little family... But it's not complete yet... And I'm about to change something about that. Let's say that both Emerson and Christopher want a second child, but neither one of them want to go through the fuss of alien pregnancy. They talked about it a lot, and finally came to the conclusion that they wanted to adopt a kid who was around the same age as Aria. Their eyes immediately fell on a girl named Mandy. She's a huge pet lover, just like Aria! This is meant to be, right? Welcome to the family, Mandy Ridley! Mandy's first trait is Cat Lover. Also, the blue hair colour is a plus. I'm all for weird hair colours! Mandy is just one day younger than Aria. I hope the two of them will get along. Emerson: "Welcome to the family, Mandy." Mandy: "Thank you, Sir Emerson. For giving me a home, I mean." Emerson: "Oh, please, just call me Emerson, or when you feel comfortable with it, papa. No need for the sir-part." Mandy: "Sorry si-- Emerson. It's just that I've been going to a lot of homes but always returned back to orphanage." Emerson: "Don't you worry anymore. You'll stay here. Forever. I have to leave for work now, but you can go inside and meet my husband, Christopher. He's on the second floor. Okay?" Mandy: "Okay. Have a good day, Emerson." Emerson: "You too, Mandy." Mandy: "Am I really going to stay here forever...? I don't quite believe in that anymore..." Mandy: "You must be Christopher Ridley, right?" Christopher: "Oh, Mandy! You're here already! Yes, I am indeed Christopher Ridley, but please just call me Christopher." Mandy: "I will." Christopher: "Do you like it so far here?" Mandy: "I do." Christopher: "I'm currently a little busy with this project of mine... You can search yourself a comfortable place and do whatever you want for now." Mandy: "Yes, I'll do that. Thank you, Christopher." Mandy: "Here I am again... All by myself... I knew it. It's just a matter of time until I go back to the orphanage, It's always like that. But well, let's have fun while we're here, right...?" Her eyes fall on Jess' graduation picture. Mandy: "Jess Ridley... She looks very smart. Is this maybe their daughter I've heard about? I knew she'd be older than me, but to be honest I didn't think she would be this old... She looks a lot like Christopher." Hehe, a lot of misconceptions are being made right now :P It doesn't take long for Mandy to find the basement. Mandy: "Whoa.... What's this all about...?" She reads the plaque hanging in the room. Mandy: "To Liz Ridley. You’ve tasted and shared every experimental dish. Congratulations!" Then she notices the door next to her, and she opens it. Mandy: "Whoa... There's more stuff behind this door!" Christopher: "That's mine." Mandy: "Oh, I'm so sorry! I just-" Christopher: "Don't worry. I like your curiosity." Mandy: "You.. Do?" Christopher: "Mhm. So, let me tell you something about the Ridley family. First, Liz Ridley. She was my great grandmother and the first owner of this house. She was a celebrity chef and made pictures of all kinds of recipes... And loved to just eat them too, haha!" Mandy: "Wow..." Christopher: "My grandfather took over the house after Liz retired: Oliver Ridley. He was a famous DJ who just loved to party. I guess my mom had a hard time having him as her dad. Oliver gave the house to my mom, Jess Ridley. She liked being surrounded by books and published a few herself. Those are now categorised as 'best of the world'." Mandy: "Oh, so the picture of that graduated woman upstairs is your mom? I actually thought she was your daughter..." Christopher: "Hehe, that's funny. No, my daughter Aria is around the same age as you." Mandy: "Aria..." Mandy turned around to look at the fish collection. Mandy: "Did you catch all these fish?" Christopher: "Yeah, I did. I also like to tinker around. It's not as impressive as being a celebrity chef, a famous DJ or a bestselling author, but... I like it a lot." Mandy: "I think this is very impressive." The two of them talked some more for a while, which made Mandy happy. Christopher: "Last but not least... I want to introduce you to our most loyal family member: Ninja." Ninja: "Woof." Mandy: "A... Ghost dog???" Christopher: "The fact that you can see him means only one thing. You're a real Ridley." Just as Mandy got a little more comfortable in the house, the door swung open, revealing Aria. Aria: "Who are you?" Mandy: "Oh! I- I'm Mandy!" Christopher: "Aria, there you are! This is Mandy, your new sister." Aria: "...My what now?" Just at that moment, Christopher's alarm went off. Christopher: "Oh, I have a dinner to attend! Aria, I leave Mandy to you, okay?" Aria: "But, dad-" Christopher: "Bye!" Christopher: "Table for five, please." Jess: "So, how are my boys doing these days?" Imagine yourself working at this restaurant. Christopher asks for a table for five, but you only see four people (because you can't see Kai). And then a glass starts floating around and food is being eaten without anyone sitting there!! Anyways, they're having a great time catching up with each other. Sometimes that's all you need. Everyone already was asleep when Christopher came back home. Goodnight!
