Time: Post-"Secundus," pre-Victoria's wedding (and thus any other weddings) Notes: This is a prequel of sorts to all the drabbles about Victoria and Emily's honeymoons ( 69) tent in a forest, 9) cabana, 25) snorkel). For some reason, this prompt inspired me to do them talking about their upcoming adventures instead of doing an actual adventure. Maybe I just wanted a little more of both girls in the table. Victoria's comment about country trips is from my idea that the Everglots probably consider a real "trip to the country" to involve staying at a manor.
“Richard and I just decided on our honeymoon.” “Really?” Victoria looked up from her list of flowers. “Where are you going?” “To a little tropical island,” Emily giggled. “Somewhere near the Equator. We agreed we wanted to go somewhere sunny and warm, since we’re getting married in October.” “Oh yes, quite understandable,” Victoria agreed. “Christopher’s taking me camping. He says spring in the forest is beautiful. And I’ve always wanted to go to the country without having to spend

Time: Vague post-"Secundus 2" Notes: I wasn't sure what to do with this one, until I came up with the idea of interpreting it more generally as intense light in someone's face. I'm sure Victor would have preferred I not give him appendicitis at some point in his life to do this, but. . . I'm not entirely sure when this occurs, but I know the only kid he'd have is Chester. Probably Aunt Susan's taking care of the baby while his wife visits him in hospital.
The light was - bright. Painfully so. Victor squeezed his eyes shut with a groan. That was not what you wanted to wake up to after surgery. “Bloody nurse, I told her that lamp was right in your face. . . .” Victor felt the light move away. “How are you, Victor?” Victor managed to focus on the concerned faces of his wife and closest friends. “I’ve b-been better,” he murmured. “E-everything go all right?” “Yeah, they got your appendix out fine,” Marty assured him. “You’re going to make a full recovery,” Alice added, stroking his forehead. “Good.” Victor sighed. “Glad that’s over with

Time: Way post-"Secundus 2" Notes: I wasn't sure what to do with this one for a while -- until I came up with an interesting idea for the last drabble, and that theme spread to this one. The Emma in this story is Chester's daughter, and thus Victor and Alice's granddaughter

Time: Vague post-"Secundus" Notes: And here's my final drabble, and one with an interesting theme. After writing so much about the main and secondary characters, I wanted to do something new for the very last story. So -- have two completely random characters (both ladies) getting mildly starstruck by Victor and Alice. XD Because my cast aren't the only people living in Secundus, after all.
“Oh my. Is that--” “I think it is!” “Goodness, I didn’t think we’d ever get so close to them! Do you think they’d be insulted if we asked for an autograph?” “Oh, I don’t know. They probably get that a lot.” “Yes, but - can you blame people? It’s Victor and Alice Van Dort! The saviors of Secundus!” “I’m aware! Oh, go ask them!” “All right, all right, I’ll go.” “. . .Well?” “I have their signatures right here!” “Wonderful! What a souvenir!” “Yes. It’s funny, though - poor Mr. Van Dort looked almost embarrassed.” “Well, I have heard he is a bit shy. . . .”
