The Ryman Legacy Chapter 3A
1. Weirdoes! Cute The Ryman Legacy Chapter 3A â Family Holiday! Girl! Nothing like family love â if you have it⌠Pervy Guy! By Mzyra
2. âYâknow Birch, with all the kids doing so well at school and the extra money we have coming in⌠maybe we should take them on holiday? As a treat?â âHmm, you may have a point. We can have the house renovated while weâre away! We can finally separate the twins!â âAnd Nicola and Terry can have their own bedroomsâŚâ âAnd weâll finally have more than one bathroom!â âWith actual walls!â âYou have such good ideas, CarlaâŚâ
3. It was a normal morning in the Ryman household. Nicola was testing out her ability to cook⌠and failing a littleâŚ
4. Marina and Sean were getting on well (unlike some peopleâŚ)âŚ
11. âAhahahahahahaaaa! You should have seen your stupid terrified little face just now! I canât believe you fell for that, you idiot!â âI- I wasnât scared, I was just playing along!â âOh yeah, sure. Like you donât need to change out of your pyjamas right nowâŚâ âNo I donât!â
12. Luckily for Birch and Carla they were oblivious to their childrenâs squabbles at that moment, being rather distracted with other thingsâŚ
13. But the holiday was considered a good idea and so the family left at once (despite the fact that the school bus was right there).
14. N: âKimmy was kicking the back of my seat for the whole flight! It was horrible!â K: âShut up Nicola, no I wasnâtâŚâ C: âCalm down kids, weâre here nowâŚâ K: âI want a tent to myself!â M: âDonât worry Kimmy, Iâm sure no-one will complain about thatâŚâ K: âShut up Marina!â
15. For anybody wondering how a family thatâs been traditionally so poor can afford a holiday, this is why. Free accommodation, fairly cheap food (along with two grilled cheese sims who can feed themselves) and flights that arenât too expensive â barely costs anything in the end.
16. Though it did mean some people werenât very impressed. S: âWhatâs this place meant to be? Whereâs our hotel? Where are the TVs? The saunas? The beds, even?!â N: âWe can barely afford those things at home Sean, how were we going to be able to have them on holiday?â S: âYeah, but⌠this sucksâŚâ
17. Marina was a lot happier with the situation, though. âItâs so pretty and back to nature⌠One day Iâm going to come here with Nery and our childrenâŚâ If you werenât interested in hearing about love and/or Nery Jayapalan, Marina wasnât the most fun person to hang out with these days, truth be told.
18. There were one or two fun things to do around the campsite, but the kids werenât too impressed. N: âI wish we had a TV. That would be way more fun than fishing.â T: âYou ever hear of something called a cinema? They show TV-like programmes, but they last for hoursâŚâ N: âWowâŚâ
19. The other form of fun was deemed unsuitable for children. It should also have been deemed unsuitable for teens with less than 5 nice points or with long-running anger issues. K: There should be more axe-related games in the world. Ooh, like that circus act where they throw knives at someone strapped to a rotating board! We should definitely try that some time⌠S: Must not throw axe at twin sisterâŚ! So hard to resistâŚ!
20. The locals were friendly. And weird. Mostly weird. And, like everyone, somehow magnetically drawn towards Carla â probably due to her classy, definitely non-mountain, looks. âAnd then you beat your chest and yell!â C: âAw, well isnât that nice, you strange mountain man. Now if youâll excuse me, I have 5 children who are getting into trouble and I have to look after. But theyâre still more normal than you. No offence or anything.â
21. N: âYes! Look Terry, I caught a fish!â T: âYeah, so did I. But I think my fish is a little bigger than yoursâŚâ N: âOh my gosh, itâs like as big as you are!â T: âYeah⌠Um, what are we supposed to do with them now?â N: â⌠I donât know. Give them to Mum, sheâll put them in her luggage or something!â They thus gave their fish to Carla, who sold them rather than have all her clothes smell like fish. You canât really blame her.
22. Sean was still hurting from Opal rejecting his attempt at a first kiss (not helped by Kimmyâs permanent insistence on bringing it up and teasing him about it), so he had his eye out on prospective holiday romances. He was in luck, though Margaret Turnerâs hairstyle was painfully reminiscent of Opalâs⌠But she was still very, very cute.
23. Meanwhile Kimmy decided to take on her annoying, tubby little brother in log rolling â he was so out of shape, she was bound to beat him easily. Then he might get pneumonia and suffer in hospital. And then she could laugh. A lot. Good times.
24. T: âThat was fun, but now Iâm hungry so Iâll go get some foodâŚâ K: *Bubbles*
25. âHow the heck did that tubby little so-and-so manage to knock me off? Grrr⌠Iâll get him back for thatâŚâ It probably would have been better for Terry just to let Kimmywin: hospitalâs more fun than an angry Kimmy.
26. Sean was having a much better time talking to Margaret, despite the rain. Maybe this holiday could be a good thing, especially if he got a girlfriend out of it. Maybe Margaret would go to one of the universities back home, evenâŚ
27. Sean was so wrapped up in his conversation with a cute girl that he didnât even notice another teenage girl walking by. If Opal noticed Sean, she gave no sign of it.
28. T: âAnd wouldnât it be cool if there were like aliens and other paranormal stuff? Vampires, witches, werewolvesâŚâ M: âHave you been reading my Twilight books, Terry?â T: âNo⌠Why, do they have aliens?!â N: âNo, theyâre romance books about vampires and stuff⌠I liked Jacob better though.â M: âOh Nicola, you just donât understand the way Bella feels about Edward-â T: âSo back to the aliens-â
29. N: âHi Daddy!â B: âHi Nicky, having fun?â N: âThereâs not much to do⌠And it keeps raining all the time.â B: âAh, donât worry. Besides, the rain is the best time to sing and dance, donât you know?â N: âI want a boyfriend to dance with like âRina doesâŚâ B: âNo, you donât want to get mixed up with boys Nicky, boys are silly and not good enough for you. You can stay as your Daddyâs little girl for a while longer, canât you?â N: âI guess I can for you, Daddy.â
30. Weird guys are creepy about Carla in any place, at any time. It goes without saying.
31. N: âTerry, youâre going to get your clothes all wet and muddy. I donât get how you can stand to get so dirty, Iâd be grossed out.â T: âWell I donât understand how you can see a puddle and not want to jump in it, whether it makes your clothes dirty or not. Itâs just so much fun!â N: âYouâre silly, Terry.â T: âWell youâre silly because the rainâs making you wet anyway. So there!â
32. Back to the campsite, Seanâs life had brightened considerably. Heâd held a long conversation with a very cute girl and now heâd caught a fish half his size. And he had yet to have to talk to his twin. Bliss!
33. B: âSee, I knew this was a great idea of yours, love.â C: âYou really think the kids are enjoying it?â B: âAs much as they can enjoy anything. In fact, theyâd probably enjoy it more if they didnât have their parents around all the time, spoiling their fun. Speaking of which â I suppose you recall that we never actually had a honeymoonâŚâ C: âWe canât let the kids go off on their own, Birch! Even if I do like what youâre suggestingâŚâ B: âThe kids will be fine, Kimmy and Sean are old enough to take care of themselves and Marina will like babysitting the others⌠You know you want toâŚ!â
34. More creepy guys perving over Carla. Naturally. There could be a whole chapter of weird guys (and the occasional weird girl) checking out Carla. Luckily there will not be.
35. And thus the family spent their first night in the tents, from a rather early time due to jet lag. Sadly for Marina, the parents thought it would be better if Kimmy shared with her and Sean got his own tent, but that just meant that she waited until Kimmy was asleep before bothering to get in.
36. She could have shared with Terry though in the end, since Nicola randomly opted to sleep in a hammock, braving the possibility of rain. Apparently Terry snores and that was more annoying than the increasingly cold temperature.
37. Since they went to sleep so early, it was still dark when they woke up. And Birch still had his âlate honeymoonâ idea on his mind⌠It was sweet and romantic for them both-
38. But maybe not for others. S: âEwwww.â K: âMy eyes, they burn!â M: âThat is not something I need to see.â S: âThis must constitute child abuseâŚâ
39. B: âHey Marina, how do you feel about babysitting the kids? You know, take them out somewhere funâŚâ M: âCanât you just wait until theyâre in bed?â B: â⌠They donât exactly look sleepy to me. Look, you must understand: your mother and I never really got any chance to just be a married couple, you came along so fast- and we donât regret that at all, butâŚâ M: âI know Dad, but you really expect me to be able to look after Nicky and Terry and stop Sean and Kimmy killing each other, all on my own?â
40. B: âHoney, if you want to be a parent with quite a few children of your own one day, youâll have to be able to deal with problems like these. Thereâs no better way to get that experience than by babysitting now.â M: âWell⌠I guess I can then. I can get Sean to help me out a bit maybeâŚâ B: âGreat! Just take them out for a few hours and weâll see how it goes. If anything starts going horribly wrong then you can always come back, but⌠knock on the tent before entering, okay?â M: âYeah, Iâm going to ignore what you just said and go anyway before the mental scarring starts. Bye Dad. Come on kids, weâre going out!â
41. And so the children headed off â in the middle of the night and in a strange part of the world â with a sense of excitement and responsibility, though Kimmy was naturally moaning about it.
42. B: âAh, after so many years, weâre finally child-free for a few hours. The joy of teenagers, eh?â C: âDo you really think we can do things in a tent without anybody being able to tell?â B: âOh Carla, who really cares? Soon weâre going to get to the point when weâre officially that age where nobody can ever tell us what weâre supposed to do. I say we start early, while we can enjoy it to our full potentialâŚâ C: âOh Birch!â
43. For the children it quickly turned out that there wasnât all that much to do in Three Lakes, though. Unless you had a thing for carved wooden statues. Or chunks of trees. Or whole trees. Anything that involved wood and youâd be set. Otherwise⌠M: âYou donât think they actually have bears here do you, Sean?â S: âI donât know. But if theyâre only this big I think I could take one. And Kimmy could probably scare one off just by looking at it.â K: âDamn straight!â S: âYeah, because youâre so ugly!â K: âIâm not the one who got rejected, loser!â M: *sigh*
44. The younger kids managed to locate the only child-orientated thing in the whole area, though and found it quite beneficial. Both Nicola and Terry were very â possibly overly â nice so had never not gotten on, but since Terry had only just become a child before they left, the two hadnât been friends, but between fishing and swing sets and general playing⌠âYouâre my bestest friend, Nicky!â âYou too, Terr.â* *This wasnât true for their elder siblings because theyâd been permanently bringing other children home and making friends, but for the younger kids all the other school children had already been conquered by their older siblings, leaving them only with each other, which was sad, but also sweet.
45. âOh look. A giant log. The excitement I feel in my heart right now is almost too much to take. Oooh, there a guinea pig plague that killed a load of people, thatâs interesting⌠And now Iâm bored again. This place sucks. They donât even serve grilled cheeseâŚâ
46. T: âSean, why are you punching âRina? I thought violence, especially against girls, was wrong?â M: âItâs just a game, Terry. Heâs not punching me properlyâŚâ S: âYeah. See, sheâs fine.â M: âJust⌠Never play with Kimmy, okay?â N: âIs it possible for somebody to punch your arm right off?â M: â⌠I donât know, but I expect that if anybodyâs going to try it, Kimmy will.â
47. At that specific moment, however, Kimmy was not engaging in mild (or otherwise) violence, but had found something else fun to do. âAhhhhh, cheese⌠You can never buy enough⌠Now whatâs happened to my annoying siblings?â
48. This was wrong somehow, Kimmy mused. Okay, five children didnât split evenly, but she shouldnât be the one left out â she was a twin FFS! Yeah, the little brats would naturally be together at the moment, but⌠Sean should be left out. Or Marina. Marina wasnât a twin, Sean was the only teen boy⌠Somebody ought to be paying her attention. Not that she wanted to pay anybody else attention⌠Maybe that was why she should get a boyfriend. Not because she liked them, but because they could love her and get nothing in return! It actually made sense! But there were no boys here who werenât creepy old men and this park was lame. K: âIâm bored, weâre going somewhere else!â
49. âI am a certified genius. Admit it, or Iâll kick you all out.â *Mumbled agreement* The hot springs had been a good idea, but it wasnât particularly fair that Kimmy acted like sheâd invented them. Marina would have brought them there eventuallyâŚ
50. But Marina wasnât in the mood for an argument. In the soothing warm water with her eyes closed she could imagine Nery was sitting next to her, enjoying them too⌠One day theyâd be married and come there together. Maybe as a honeymoon, maybe with their own kids. But one day.
51. T: âI canât believe we have this whole place to ourselvesâŚâ N: âYeah, itâs amazingâŚâ T: âHey NickyâŚâ N: âWhat?â
52. T: âRace you around the pool!â N: âYouâre on, little brother!â ~~~ End of Chapter 3A ~~~ Can a Ryman family holiday really remain this happy? Will Birch and Carla accidentally get pregnant again (*shakes fist*)? Is this all observation or is it actually going anywhereâŚ? Find out next time!
