[esmeiolanthe]

The prompt for this story was “Sunday brunch with the girls,” submitted by docnerd. This story fits into Chapter 52 of Already in Progress, Chapter 23 of Ruth’s (un)Officially Wacky Boolprop Challenge, and Chapter 3 of Jack Point’s Home for Pedestrian Playables.

Yes, all three at once.

No, none of them are out yet.

No, I don’t think this will spoil

Aw, Leila, you won't be the odd one out forever! *hugs*

Ha, Lisa's comment of Glen making the babies himself might come true if the aliens pay attention to him in his outfit. :)

Nice to see the sisters having fun together, their banter is great. :D

Not forever if I have anything to say about it. Although some of the "odd man out" has to do with the importance she places on having a man, which probably won't change too much.

I'm sure hoping that Lisa's comment about Glen is foreshadowing and not just a comment! But those *&^%%#$*&) aliens don't like to cooperate with me... >:-{

I'm glad you enjoyed the story! :D

I feel kinda bad for Leila, I know I wouldn't particularly appreciate being told that I need to "find a man" and that's all there is to it.

Anyway, all in all it seems like they're having a fun night out! (I had to laugh at the different kitchens they had. :D )

Leila's experience here is a little close to home for me: when I talk to certain relatives about all manner of negative feelings (lonely, overwhelmed, just in a bad mood), the response is often something along the lines of "Well, if you had a boyfriend..." I just don't raise those topics anymore. (Which doesn't stop my grandmother occasionally telling me, out of the blue, "Don't worry, you'll find a good man." Um, we were talking about plants and I'm perfectly cheerful. Where did that come from? *rolls eyes*)

Yes, some of those kitchens are suitable for, ah, "grown-up activities" and some... are not.
