Way too soon!!

Athea knew that she had a lot to do today. Now that she was in the later stage of her life she had to make sure she tied up all loose ends and see to it that her children would be okay. She knew that soon it would be time to join her husband in the after life.

While she would have thought that she needed to take care of her sons first, her most immediate problem was her two eldest daugthers. She wanted her children to be there for each other, not act like hethans. "Drake I'm going to Celeste's new house today." she told him during breakfast.

"Man who new our sisters could be so trashy." Drake said. Althea learned a long time ago that the best thing for Drakes lude comments was just to ignore them.

While Althea was off trying to mend things between her daughters, Jacey thought that he may have found the future Mrs. Gaines.Their new maid Latarsha was everything he wanted in a woman.

"You know, I'm a real big fan of the color blue." he said trying impress her with his wit. "It's the color of coolness, and calmness."

"Well isn't that just the cutest thing. Well my favorite color is red the color of hotness, and passion." Jacey couldn't help but think that his attempt at trying to woo the maid was a failure.

Back at Celeste's house Althea had seen how hurt her daughter really was. "I really liked him mom." she wailed. Althea just didn't know what her other daughter was thinking. How could she be so selfish?

"There there dear don't you fret about this. Think of it as an oppurtunity to rejuvnate yourself and get a fresh start on things!!" Celeste seemed to brighten up a little about the idea. "But where do I start?"

"Oh honey you've already started! Look at this nice new home you've found yourself. This is the perfect start. Now you can focus on becoming the star your father always thought you would be." Celeste just smiled.

While Althea was trying to make her youngest daughter feel better, Jacey was on the other side of town trying to make a last ditch effort to woo Latarsha. He failed. Tremendously. "I'm sorry but I don't do tutoring sessions." "But my birthday is today!! I'll be a man" Drake exclaimed. "You are just so adorable." Latarsha replied.

With the drama going on between Serena and Celeste, both boy's birthdays past with absolutely no recognition (even from me). Drake not even phased by the lack of attention he was getting grew into the childish trait. He also has decided that he wants to become super popular. He also decided to run off and join the military.

Jacey on the other hand grew into the mean spirited trait. Now he wants to be the leader of the free world. Right after joining the politics career field he wasted absolutely no time trying out his political BS on Celeste to see if maybe she would forgive Serena. "Stop trying to use you're political BS on me, I wont forgive Serena. Happy Birthday by the way."

While Jacey was off eating lunch with his sister, Drake was trying to schmooze up Latarsha. "I just got back from the recruiter where they gave me a job!" he exclaimed. "Very impressive." Latarsha replied.

In fact Latarsha was so impressed by Drake that when he decided to kiss her within 10 minutes of knowing her, she didn't push him away at all. Drake thought that he just might be in love.

He asked her to go steady with him, but she refused. "I hardly know you." she said pulling away. "Thats okay I'll make you mine someday. You'll see!!"

Jacey couldn't help but be upset. He was in love with Latarsha first. He couldn't believe he got bested by his little brother. "Unbelievable!!" he said as he walked by in disgust.

Not to be outdone by Drake, Jacey decided to invite over Bella Bachelor. They worked together so he figured he could use a little boost in the career field.

Bella was quite taken by Jacey's charm, she gave him an excellent boost in confidence. But once he felt good enough he sent her on her way. He wasn't looking for a relationship just yet.

That same night Althea woke with a fright. She kept hearing an unfamiliar voice calling her name. Who could it be?

But before Althea could get up to look around the house she collapsed to the floor, and saw nothing but darkness.

It was death and he had come for her. "But it's too soon, please I beg you come back later!! There's still so much that I need to do." Althea pleaded with the grim reaper. "Sorry lady I save one, I gotta save em all. Then I'm out of a job. This is the only thing I know how to do right ya know."

So not wanting to be unprofessional and all Grim took Altheas soul. Jacey and Drake were both completely devastated.

Strucken with grief and not caring at all that Grim here is the bringer of all death. Drake took it upon himself to call The Grim Reapers mother a llama. "Ya and she's fat from eating grass all day!!" "I don't get paid enough for this." Grim said as he disappeared into thin air.

Shaken by the death of both their parents, Drake and Jacey both agreed that life was too short for feuding. They decided that unlike their sisters they would manage to live and thrive together without the drama. So with that thought in mind they decided to start a new begininng in a new house. Who knows what will happen next.

*note* soo this episode Althea met a very untimely death. She had a long time to go before it was time to meet Grim but I decided to speed a long the process a little. Also I decided to go ahead and get a new home because I was getting so bored with the other and it was too hard to get good angles. Anywhoo I hope you enjoyed and come back soon for some more splendid Gaines fun, ya?
