Welcome back to the Trails Legacy! These cute little photos and this chapter are my apology for the short posts lately. This generation is going fast, and it’s only chapter 4! I’m not quite sure why it’s going fast… maybe it’s because like a third of Harley’s Young Adult life stage was used up when she moved here? Anyways, let’s see what’s to come.

Luna got a shed for her inventing table. Cute, isn’t it?

Harley: Dad’s happy because we cut down a few trees and he doesn’t have to take up their leaves anymore. I think it’s lovely!

Aww, look at this little family moment!

Harley: Kaine kept mumbling about fire spirits or something. He has quite the imagination!

Yeah, imagination…

The next morning, Luna got up to work on her inventing skill.

Luna: Those idiots will regret not hanging out with me…

Who? What are you talking about?

Luna: *sighs* Fun is so overrated.

Kaine: Jasmine, do you think I’m crazy?

Jasmine: What? No! I think you are different in a good way. We’re friends, you and me.

Harley: Well, I’m glad they’ve got each other.

Now, let’s see what this date is all about. Come on Harley, hurry up!

Harley: Hurrying!

Goodwin: You know I love you, right?

Harley: Of course! Why do you say that?

Goodwin: Well, there’s something I need to get off my chest. It’s complicated and hard to explain, but I’ll try my best.

Goodwin: This girl, Jenni-Jones Brown, and I used to be a thing. Her parents hated me and she was attracted to me even more because of that. We slept together and she got pregnant. Eventually, I figured out she was using me to get back at her parents. See, our kid is almost a child now and-

Harley: Stop. I don’t want to hear it.

Harley: Is this some sort of game to you? To mess with the new girl in town? So I see you always go after girls with rich families. I should have snooped around before even going after you! And you have another CHILD?!

Goodwin: Listen to me, I don’t even love her. I love-

Harley: No. Listen to me you…. you JERK. I’m leaving this date.

Ooh, guys?

Harley: Hmm… let’s see what kind of damage I can do here.

Harley: Perfect! Now for phase 2…

Harley, think about what you’re doing…

Harley: …

Harley: Now come here Justin…

Justin: Harley, what are you doing?

Harley: He cheated on me… help me get back at him?

Harley! This is your subconscious speaking! Stop. What. You. Are. Doing.

Harkey: Erhm, listen… I just realized that if I actually went through with this I’d be as bad as him. This isn’t me… So- gotta run! Got… erhm… legacy stuff to do.

Harley: You are forgetting… that I ever kissed you… *flees*

Let’s hope that he forgets! And also, good decision on not going through with it.

Harley: I’m not even sure why he wanted to kiss me. He knows I’m married.

Harley: What am I going to do… he already hates me enough. I don’t think he can forgive me.

The next morning, Elijah made pancakes.

Kaine: Pancakes are lame.

Harley: Aren’t his overalls adorable?!

Uhm… sure?

Goodwin: Come here babe…

Harley: No, I can’t do this right now. After what you did to me and…

Goodwin: And?

Harley: And that fact that I cheated- well attempted to cheat on you. I’m done.

Goodwin: No, I’m done.

Goodwin: We’re over.

And he left.

Harley: Dad? Dad I messed up.

Harley: He’s gone.

Elijah: Remember when you thought I would be gone forever when I left for work every morning? Well, I wasn’t gone forever. If it wasn’t meant to be, it wasn’t meant to be. Hell, I didn’t find a girl who I can actually see my life with until we moved here. And I’m an elder!

Harley: Thanks Dad. I’m going to go play with the kids…

Harley: Are you ready?

Luna: As ready as I’ll ever be.

Luna: WHOOO! Maybe this fun thing isn’t so bad after all.

Luna: Alright Mom, I’ll admit that was fun. Now tell me what’s going on with you and Dad.

Harley: Well Luna… Mommy and Daddy are having a disagreement, so…. it’s kind of like a storm? I don’t know what to tell you…

Luna: I’m much more mature than you think mom. I saw tickets in an envelope to an orchestra and the envelope wasn’t for you.

Harley: Oh, so you know… Do you think I’m stupid for doing what I did?

Luna: Mom, listen to me. You’re not stupid. He’s stupid.

Harley: Thanks Luna. It means a lot to me.
