Raj: Hey Alaina, thanks for driving over! I hope traffic wasn’t too bad for you.

Alaina: Not at all! I’m sorry Daya couldn’t come...tied up with work.

Raj: You don’t need to make excuses for her...she’ll be around when she’s ready. (Pause) So...shall we go and talk in the garden?

Happy Birthday! Daya gained the Perceptive trait Arun gained the … trait…(I'll be honest...he refused to age up and I had to quit my game for a family event...so he hasn't actually aged up yet).

Raj: You wanted to talk to us about something? Daya: Yeah...I’ve been doing some thinking and...I’d like to move...when I’m old enough, and can live by myself, I’m going to move out... Poppy: Well, sure...there are lots of nice houses around town... Daya: No. I...I’m going to move...towns.  Raj: Oh. Wow. Okay... Daya: I don’t like it here...y’know, I love having Nan and Grandad, and my aunts and uncles so close...but I can’t live in this town anymore. Stuff sticks here...and I...I want to live in the city. I think it’ll be good for me. Poppy: You’re sure about this? Daya: Yes. Raj: ...Okay. Daya: Really? Raj: Yeah...and just so you know...if you change your mind...your room will still be here... Arun: Uhhh, I mean...it’ll be my room, but whatever.  Daya: Thank you so much!

So...Arun got struck by lightning while he was playing the bass...

Arun: How’re you doing? Daya: I...I don’t know. Arun: Want to talk about it? Daya: I just don’t understand, Arun. Any of this. I feel like everything is being pulled out from under me...and there’s nothing I can do about it... Arun: I’m sorry. Can I help in any way?

Daya: No...not right now. I’ve been doing some thinking...but I need to talk to...to everyone.

Arun: Okay...

Daya: WHAT THE HELL?!

Kesha: I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to!She backed me into a corner!

Daya: How could something like that just slip out?! Kesha! This is important!

Kesha: I'm sorry! She kept saying that if I didn't tell her something...she'd...

Daya: She'd what?!

Kesha: ...she'd start spreading rumours about us...

Daya: Alaina is in so much trouble at home because of all of this…her mum is saying that she doesn’t want her seeing me! Kesha: I’m sorry! Daya: STOP SAYING THAT…just…just go away. Please. Kesha: Daya…

Daya: Please.
