Madison takes over the Gree family as Envy rears its ugly head...

2. Destroying my mother was only the first step, seeing what Raj did made me think:
What were my neighbours up to? Were they richer than me? I had to know…

3. Starlight Shores is full of celebrities, many of them have houses with ocean front views
and access to private beaches, that makes me so jealous. But they also never sell those
beach front properties and unless I want to kill them and take their houses, I have to
make do with a mountainside cottage instead. I bought one with my money.

4. Well, they may have their beachfront properties but I have a vacation house in China so
there’s no camping in bug infested tents for me. At least I have that over them.

5. If Raj can marry rich, so can I. But I’m taking a different approach. The Olivia-Richmond family
has a son, an unwed son that traditionalists like his parents want to see settled down as soon as
possible. They respect being consulted first by someone of my wealth and reputation. So I bucked
tradition and asked his father for permission to marry their son Garett. He gladly accepted my
proposal.

6. I bought the cottage right next door to them so I guess that helped as well. Now, all we
had to do was tell Garett he was being married off. I was so happy to have won such a
fine man like Garett.

7. His father told me that he would send Garett over as soon as he got back from work. I
had to clean up and look presentable for him when he came over. My little cottage may
be seen like a step down from mom’s mansion but I like it. I can see the ocean from my
front porch, which is more than mom had. All she had was a boring mountain to stare
at outside her front door.

8. Garett admitted to me he was afraid I was going to be “unattractive” because his
parents had no sense of taste of what he liked, but when he saw me, he was surprised. I
guess I should take that as a compliment that he doesn’t think I’m unattractive…but
maybe there’s something he doesn’t like about me…what is it?

9. Anyway, I told him that having a child born with my witchcraft was very important to me. If
anything, it’s a family tradition going all the way back to great-grandpa Aang who arrived in
Riverview with nothing but the clothes on his back and he turned himself into a witch. He had a
real Wrath problem though so I think he just wanted to take it out on people with his new
powers…whatever his reasons were, it’s a family tradition now.

10. Madison: I hope you’re a witch little baby…I don’t know what I’ll do if you’re
not. What will people think if the tradition is broken?

11. Like other traditions in the family, having a cat around is helpful for witches and their
spells. So when I found Felix in the shelter I knew he was perfect for me. Dollar is
mom’s familiar and he never really liked me that much. He was a snooty cat.

12. Imagine! My first child was not born with witchcraft. I am so disappointed in Lyle. I
was born first and I had witchcraft in my blood…this is so bad. Garett seems to think
it’s just fine, but I don’t! Raj’s first born was a witch, how dare he succeed where I fail.
I think he’s trying to make me jealous…revenge for not giving him 50% of mom’s
money no doubt.

13. Lyle is a Loner and Brave. His faves include Cookies, Epic music, and the colour
Sea Foam. Madison’s jealousy seems to begin with Lyle for not being her first born
with witchcraft like she was, but she also blames Garett for that…unfortunately,
sometimes history repeats itself.

14. Madison: I am NOT overreacting! I told you how important having a witch baby was to
me and you’re just shrugging it off like it’s nothing! I don’t stand for that, I want you
gone. And maybe if you’re lucky I’ll let you see your ORDINARY son one of these days!
Garett: Maddie…please. We can try again, I swear to you the next one will be the witch
baby you want, just give me that chance.

15. Madison: Go. I’m done.
Garett: Fine! You know, as much as you deny it, you’re JUST like your mother! Throwing
a tantrum when things don’t go your way.
Madison: Don’t make me curse you…how dare you say that to me! I am NOT like my
mother!

16. Garett: Perhaps that was too much…man, dad is going to be so disappointed in
me. No one in my family has ever gotten divorced before and it looks like I’ve
just become the first. I’m sorry son, please don’t forget your old man…

17. *sigh* Another fine Gree family tradition: They are the favourite targets of robbers. By
the third generation in a row of being robbed this is not funny anymore…

18. Madison: Am I paranoid? Is this going to be a thing that happens every
generation now? Did Garett set this up? I bet he did, he was looking devious
the last time I saw him, this is his revenge for me not giving him alimony isn’t
it?

19. Shaun: I heard about your divorce Maddie, I’m so sorry. Is there anything I can
do to help?
Madison: Well, I was just robbed last night, my son and I could have been
killed, it was scary being all alone…maybe you could stick around for a while?

20. Madison: There IS such a thing as second chances after all. The Lack-Savage family is
also another rich old money family here with an unwed son. Perhaps this time I’ll get
my witch baby. And red hair would be cute too…
