Season 1 – Episode 10

Standing in this room reminds me of the happy endings that I promised to bring everyone. Two months had passed since the funeral of Heather and the investigation ended with the fact that they couldn’t find her killer, nor could they find any evidence to point at any specific person. People did call Carl under suspicion, but his alibi was proven to be true so he was spared. I promised myself that I would bring justice to him, but I wasn’t sure of how I would do it.

I gave myself a makeover as well, after Penelope’s constant comments about the way that I look. I’m beginning to think the reason that she hates me is because I was spending time with Luke, which was clearly over when he made fun of Alexander. For the two months, I had spent them adding to the board, which was now filled with enough information on everyone that even I was surprised at the new things I had discovered.

Oh crap! It’s Luke’s birthday today, which means that he’s going to have a party. I guess his birthday is a good enough that I can forgive him today, but I’ll go buy him a present as well. I left the house after I checked that the room was locked properly, and I heard his voice call from behind me.

“Evelyn!” Luke shouted as he ran towards me and he was catching up with his breathing when he continued to speak. “How have you been?”

“I’ve been great. Happy Birthday, by the way.” I replied with an under layer of coldness towards him which I did feel apologetic for.

“I’m sorry for how I judged Alexander. He’s actually a great guy, now that I’ve gotten to know him. We even message each other everyday, haha.” Luke mentioned and I was shocked. Luke and Alexander almost never really became close at all in the show and now, they’re talking to each other everyday? Things were certainly changing into an unknown world.

“I forgive you, and now I can tell you that I’m heading into town to buy your birthday present so you can’t come with me!” I laughed as Luke sighed in disappointment but laughed afterwards.

“Damn! I guess I’ll be seeing you tonight at my party then?” That was just an invitation, right?! I got myself invited, yes! I played it cool as I accepted his invitation, and smiled.

“Yeah, totally!” I replied as we finished up our conversation.

I took a taxi over to the shopping centre where I saw a variety of shops that I could get Luke’s present from. I ventured to the middle of the shopping centre and made a mental note of all the shops I had to visit. But, I felt something tap my shoulder and when I turned around I was honestly surprised. Alison was standing before me, and I stood dumb-struck as she began to speak.

“I know it’s weird seeing me, but I wanted to tell you that I do want to be your friend, no matter what Penelope says. Penelope is a little hard to deal with, but she’s been a really good friend to me, so I hope you can understand why I’m friends with her.” Alison explained, and of course I understood. Penelope was the person who saved Alison’s life from her abusive father, and gave her a place to live, and Alison had felt that she hasn’t repaid Penelope’s kindness so far.

“I think I can understand, and I’m glad that you’re honest with me so I think we can be friends.” I replied with joy and Alison smiled as she hooked her arm around mine and led me to various shops. Most of them were for girls, but the ones for guys that we went into, Alison helped me find some high quality items that were sold for quite cheap. I knew that Luke needed a new lamp after it almost exploded in his bedroom one night, so I bought a really nice one that would go with his bedroom aesthetic.

“See, you’ve now got a ton of good presents to give to Luke now.” Alison commented as she looked into my bags, and she grabbed hold of something in one of the bags and withdrew some underwear that I bought. “And something for yourself, ey?”

“Alison!” I snatched it from her and placed it back in the bag while the both of us began to laugh. It was so loud that people kept looking at us while they passed, but I didn’t care. I had found a friend that I could go shopping with, would look at art supplies with me (She was so interested in the different types of paint!) and give me a few tips on make-up where I was weakest.

“Well, what do we have here.” I hear the cold voice climb up my spine as I turn around to reveal Penelope, who also had some kind of makeover, walking over to me and Alison, and Alison gulping as Penelope’s eyes dagger towards her. “A traitor, and the idiot who doesn’t listen. Didn’t I tell you to leave this town?”

“Technically, you didn’t but you told her you’d do things to ruin her.” Alison reminded us and instantly felt guilty towards me. I didn’t mind however, but Penelope seemed to feel upset at something that I couldn’t pinpoint.

“Shut up! I thought you were going to be there for me, Alison! I thought after everything that’s happened to me, with my mother dying and my father becoming more angry these days, I thought that you’d be there for me. But, I see you with Evelyn and I just feel that you’re replacing me, that everyone just wants me gone and out of their life! I know I’m mean, and I know that I’m angry but it’s because it’s the only way I can stop people from trying to take advantage of me!”

Well, I knew that Penelope became nicer later on, but that was only because of what happened at the end of Season 2. But with what’s happening now, I can’t believe what I’m hearing. Penelope’s broken her own character open and allowed me to explore her inner thoughts and feelings, and I actually feel sorry for her. I took a step closer to Penelope as I tried to cheer her up.

“Look, everything will be okay. I promise. I haven’t stopped working to make sure that everyone’s happy, and that includes you.” Crap, what did I just say?

“What’re you on about? How can YOU of all people make me happy? I can’t be here, I’m going home!” Penelope pushed past me and ran off while I looked to Alison who was as dumbstruck as I was, however she came closer to me and gave me a hug as well. I didn’t want it but I felt like I needed it.

“Don’t worry, Penelope will be at the party tonight so you can sort everything out then.” Alison reminded me, which seemed like the ideal opportunity because I think I want to become friends with Penelope as it seems like a good way to get into her house to find evidence against Carl.

“Awesome. It was fun shopping with you today, Alison! I hope we can do it more often.” I smiled at Alison, who agreed with me and we hugged again before we both went home to get changed for the party. However, I had the lingering feeling inside of me that after tonight, everything would change for me.

Season 1 – Episode 9

After we got home from the Neighbourhood Meeting, I ran upstairs into my bedroom where I sat down on my bed. I was both angry at myself and angry at Carl for succeeding at manipulating me like that. I couldn’t stand it. A thought of reading a good book came to mind to make me feel a little better and so I rose up from my bed and I walked over to the bookcase in the bedroom.

However, once I picked up the book I liked, the bookcase began to shake and it opened up a passageway. Interesting, I never saw this in the show before. I ventured through the bookcase door and through the passageway into a small dark room. I managed to find the light switch and as I turned it on, I was astonished at how the room looked. It was a perfect secret room.

The four stone brick walls plus the wooden floor came together perfectly to offer me the best sanctuary. After everything that’s happened, the threats from Penelope, my argument with Luke, Heather’s death, and the threats from Carl, I need to have everything make sense again.

I know! I could use this room as a mapping room where I’m able to map out everything that has happened, is happening and will happen. It was time to make sense of everything in this world.

I quickly ran through the passageway and into my bedroom once again, and I made sure to close the bookcase behind me before heading out of my bedroom. I wouldn’t want Eddie and Anna to become worried about me. But, I did need something from them. I walked into the living room where Eddie and Anna were sat, enjoying the cooking show on the television.

“Hey Eddie. Hey Anna.” I smiled as I sat down on the chair nearest me. “Could I take that spare table in your attic? I saw it and I thought it would look great in Alexander’s Studio since he’s giving me a space of my own! Perhaps a few other things as well?”

Eddie and Anna’s faces lit up like a firework.

“Yes! Yes! We’d be glad to help! If you need any more furniture, just tell us and we’ll find it for you right away.” Eddie smiled at both Anna and myself as I nodded in joy. I was really grateful for all that Eddie and Anna were doing for me and it only reminded me of how much my parents didn’t do for me. Eddie and Anna are so supporting and yet my parents aren’t.

“Thank you so much!” I smiled as Eddie and Anna took a sip of their coffee.

“It’s no problem at all!” Anna replied before I left the living room and headed all the way upstairs into the attic to pick up the table and as I did, I noticed a couple of other bits of furniture which would be of good use in my secret room. Although, they were VERY dusty and so, I cleaned them up a bit!

I spent the entire day tidying up furniture and secretly transferring them into the secret room without Eddie and Anna noticing. After all my hard work though, I stood into my new secret room as I stared at all of the blank walls, thinking about all of the information that could be placed upon these walls.

In my bedroom, I began to plot down everything to do with the first season that I remember. The accident still left my mind with a giant blank and I could only plot what I remembered and as I began to do so, I came across that four episodes from now, Heather was supposed to leave for Old-town Oasis since her and Carl were supposed to split up. But, that’s not going to happen since she’s dead.

I stuck up everything on the one wall, and I stared at everything. The connections, the plot and everyone. Since Heather’s dead, there is now going to be a brand new plot introduced into the show, and I don’t know exactly what it’s going to be. But, since I caused Heather’s death to happen, it’s an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Will something happen to me?

No, I shouldn’t worry. I’ll prepare myself for what’s coming. Hey, I didn’t take that self-defense class in High School for nothing, right? I am Evelyn Parker, Ultimate Fangirl of Rocky Road, Platinum Member of the Rocky Roadies and I am the only person who can put Carl in prison for good. I need to be stronger and I need to have as much help as I can to put him away. I was the one who made things so wrong, so I have to be the person who makes things right.

Season 1 – Episode 8

As Eddie and Anna reminded me, it was a Sunday which meant that Rocky Road usually had their Weekly Neighbourhood Meetings around this time. They’d discuss recent events, future events and anything that needed to be sorted out at the meeting, all over a nice cup of tea or coffee. It was a brilliant idea when I first heard of it because we got to see the many problems the neighbourhood really had but this time, I knew one of the problems and I was going to have a hard time saying it.

However, today’s Neighbourhood Meeting wasn’t going to be happy and joyful. It was going to be full of sorrow and sadness as the morning after I saw Heather be murdered by Carl, the police found her body near a lake following an anonymous tip that they received. Just thinking of Carl moving her body makes me sick!

It was awkward between me and Luke as well. Ever since that day where we argued about Alexander, we’d stopped talking to each other. I think we were both sorry to each other, it was just that we hadn’t taken that step to say it yet. Oh well! I knew Luke and he’s dreamy, I mean very honest! He would come around soon enough. He was like my own personal sunshine, who brought me happiness when the rain made me sad.

What made everything even more awkward were the stares Carl kept giving me. For the last half an hour, he had been staring at me occasionally, probably seeing if I was conversing with anyone and it might look like I was telling someone what I saw. I’m not stupid, but I’m not clever either. I would probably see if I can find the police, or even Detective Lyons since I had his number… at least I hope I did..

We gathered around in a circle of chairs soon enough as Eddie began to speak.

“I’m sure you’re all aware by the commotion this morning but we are sad to announce that one of our own was taken away from us last night. The beloved Heather Waters will always be remembered as a cheerful, optimistic and pleasant woman. May she rest in peace.” Eddie bowed his head down as everyone followed, having their own private thoughts of sending Heather away. “Okay, shall the meeting begin?”

And then it began like any other meeting.

However, before I could join everyone in their discussions, someone grabbed my arm and dragged me across the park area near a tree. The person spun me around and I looked upon them to find that it was Carl, the man I tried desperately to avoid today.

“I know that you know what I did to Heather.” Carl angrily looked upon me as I avoided his gazes, but then it would only make me more guiltier than him and I couldn’t allow that. So, I stared him right into the eyes with confidence.

“I don’t have a clue as to what you’re implying, now–”

“DON’T LIE TO ME, EVELYN.” Carl screamed as he punched the tree. Unfortunately, no one heard him so they couldn’t come over here and save me from the monster that was before me. “I know that you saw me kill her. And, if you tell the police, any adults or especially, Penelope, I will kill you with no hesitation. I’ve done it once, and I can do it again.”

“But, you seemed so… fragile after the deed was done.” I laughed and then Carl leant in closed as he whispered in my ear.

“I have a lot of money, and I can easily hire someone to remove your existence from this world. Sure, someone will report you missing, but they won’t be able to find you because to everyone else, you wouldn’t have existed.” Carl threatened and my heart stopped as he stared right at me. “Do you understand?”

I nodded my head slowly as Carl backed away from me. I felt defeated, and so deprived of hope. Inside, I knew that I couldn’t let this man continue to roam around the streets because I wouldn’t know what he could do next but outside, I was terrified about what would happen after I told someone about what he did.

“I’m leaving now, but don’t forget what I told you. Never forget it.” Carl spat on the ground before he walked back to the Neighbourhood Meeting, and as he left I fell down to the ground in weakness as my emotions overcame me and tears started streaming down my face. I was powerless, I couldn’t do anything for my own safety and it made me feel like I should be hating myself because of that.

I almost began to cry, but I wiped away the tears as soon as Eddie and Anna came over to me with smiles on their faces. I guessed that they had mourned Heather and moved onto brighter things, as it was always part of their personal philosophy. I liked that.

“Are you okay?” Eddie asked me as he put both of his hands onto my shoulders and I slowly nodded as I looked up at the pair of them. They act so much like my parents, but they aren’t my real parents. My real parents thought I was rebellious and that I needed to snap back into reality, but Eddie and Anna allow me who I want to be and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I’m spectacular.” I smiled as I walked with Eddie and Anna back into the neighbourhood meeting, where I picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip instantly. Ew, decaff! What did coffee machine have against me? I took another sip though, I just needed something warm in my body to make myself feel warm. I felt really cold, although that might’ve been because Winter is slowly turning into Spring now but the coldness is still sweeping into Rocky Road.

In the distance, I saw Elliott Lyons- I mean Detective Lyons handing out his contact cards to everyone. He must be desperate at this stage, he hasn’t solved a case in quite a while and he’s had no luck in finding Amelia. When he saw me looking at him though, he ran over as quickly as he could and stared at me for a while. I guessed he was trying to analyse to see if I was afraid of him coming over, which was his calling card to see if someone was hiding something from him. I tried my hardest to look confident however, since I needed to hide all of my secrets away from him, away from everyone.

“It’s bad about Heather, isn’t it?” I asked Detective Lyons as I took my final sip of coffee and throwing the paper cup in the bin.

“Yeah, there’s no way this is a suicide, the points don’t add up. It’s definitely a murder, and I’m going to catch the murderer.” Yeah, good luck with that. Especially with the murderer being her husband.

“So, who are your current suspects so far?”

“Classified. I can’t share information with civilians. Sorry.” I sighed, of course not, although I was surprised that I was surprised at that. I nodded to him as I turned around, but he placed his hand on my shoulder and turned me around. “Evelyn, has there been any hope as to seeing if Amelia has contacted you?”

Like me and Amelia had agreed, I shook my head. There was nothing I could do since I didn’t want to interfere with the storyline once again and result in another death. I had to let this one play out as normal.

“Ah, okay.” He began to turn around, but something must’ve popped into his mind as he turned back around and stood a few centimetres away from my face. “You don’t know anything about Heather’s murder, right?”

I froze. I could tell him what I knew, but I thought about Carl’s threat and instantly dismissed the idea. If I couldn’t protect myself in this world, even when I knew basically everything, then I couldn’t interfere with its affairs for the moment. I had to take a few steps back and plan in the background, plan what I have to do to get the murderer into prison.

“Nope, I don’t. Sorry.” I replied before heading over to Eddie and Anna. “Ready to leave?”

“Yeah, let me just get my purse.” Anna smiled as she walked over to the snack table to grab her purse. After she did so, Eddie, Anna and I decided to race back home, but I did let them have a head start! I guessed that we all had this mutual feeling that things were never going to be the same from now on for a while, as there was a murderer in our midst and only I knew who it was.

Season 1 – Episode 7

After coming out of the toilet stalls, I was prepared to go to Luke’s house and talk to him about the amazing shopping trip I had. But, I remembered the awful little argument we had and I didn’t want to face him nor talk to him for a while. I walked down the street, a bit worried over where I was going to sleep tonight and then a hand tugged me from behind.

“Evelyn! We wondered where you had gone. How are you? You seem upset.” Anna asked me and I shrugged my shoulders. Eddie placed his hand on my shoulder and rubbed it slightly, it felt warm and comforting, which brought a smile to my face.

“You don’t have anywhere to go, right? Why don’t you stay with us? We have a spare bedroom that you can have, if you want.” Eddie suggested to me and I immediately nodded.

“Yes please, I’d love it! Oh, and I did see a nice bedding inside that shop over there, I’ll go buy it!” I replied, “But first, thank you.”

“It’s really no problem at all, we like caring for the youth and–”

“Sh… now, let’s go!” I smiled as we walked down the street together. We managed to buy the bedding along with a few other things before making our way back to Eddie and Anna’s house. They, of course, live on the same road as Luke but they live two doors down from Luke and so it’ll be a little awkward if he sees me walking out of Eddie and Anna’s house.

Nevertheless, I was about to discover a room that was never shown in Rocky Road before! As I walked through Eddie and Anna’s house, I saw all the familiar furniture and instantly re-acquainted myself with where everything in the house was. But, when we arrived at the door, that’s when I was mostly excited. I opened the door and my smile slowly faded as I saw the bedroom.

“Oh! I’m really sorry that this stuff is here. I’ll clean it up, right away!” Eddie said before he hastily walked into the room and picked up all of the toys one by one while looking at them with deep meaning. I couldn’t imagine how it must have felt to be told that you’re not able to have anymore children, but it must feel dreadful.

“Can I say something, to the both of you?” I smiled at Eddie as Anna came into the scene as well and looked at all of the baby stuff. “Well, I don’t really have parents here and you haven’t… yeah. What I’m saying is, for the time being, can’t you be my guardians?”

This was part of Eddie and Anna’s happy ending, an adoption that they’ve always wanted and it was for free. Plus, they didn’t have to worry about taking care of me because I’m pretty self-sufficient, but they could still cook me my meals once in awhile. Eddie and Anna however, burst out into tears after I spoke out my suggestion as they nodded without hesitation.

“Now, shall we spend the rest of the day decorating this bedroom?” Eddie showed a big smile as me and Anna nodded. Michael Green was generous enough to give Eddie and Anna the spare bed frame that he had been keeping in his attic for ten or so years, and with a bunch of TLC and DIY, the bedroom soon became a lovely bachelorette room filled with adorable and also cool things.

It was fun decorating! There was even a moment where we had a little bit of a paint fight because Eddie put paint down the back of my apron, I had to get revenge, didn’t I? I sat down on my new as I took in the new wonderful atmosphere around me.

As night grew closer, I said goodnight to Eddie and Anna as I went into my new bedroom and fell right to sleep. I was so tired that I didn’t think anything could’ve woken me up. I was wrong.

“STOP!” I hear from outside as my head perks up from the covers. That’s strange, I never knew this went on during the night, but then again, it usually cuts to the next day when nothing interesting happens during the night. I put on my slippers and walked downstairs and outside into the backyard, where I followed the sound of the discussion.

I arrived at the fence at the end of the backyard, and luckily enough there was a hole in the fence wide enough for me to see who was arguing. And, as I put my eye to the hole, I saw Heather and Carl arguing by the pool with angry expressions on their faces. That’s strange, this didn’t happen in the show.

“You told her didn’t you? Why did you do it?” Carl accused Heather as he stepped closer towards her in his angry rage. I wasn’t sure who or why they’re talking about a ‘her’ but I kept listening because this was probably something that only a true fan should hear.

“I’ll tell you again! I didn’t tell Penelope about our divorce! I swear. Now, if you’re going to keep accusing me of something I did when YOU’RE in the wrong! HA!” Heather laughed as she pushed Carl out of the way and walked past him before being grabbed by the back of her next by him and thrown in front of him.

“I’m the Liar? You’re the Liar, you’re lying to me right now.” Carl exclaimed at Heather who laughed at him.

“You’re the one who cheated. I haven’t done anything wrong.” And Carl, in his angry rage seemed to tighten the grip he already had on Heather, and the veins began bulging out of his head.

“LIAR! YOU ALWAYS LIE!” Carl screamed at Heather as she struggled to move out of his grasp. She began to panic as she tapped his arm for and stood on both of his feet to try and make him let go. That’s when I realized what was going on, he was choking her to death.

“I… didn’t…lie.” Heather breathed out before Carl, in his angry rage threw Heather into the deep end of the pool.

Heather can’t swim. I began to watch Heather struggle to swim as she began to flail around in the water. I wanted to help, I knew it was the right thing to do but something inside me stopped me. Carl was frozen, he didn’t know what to do either. But, I knew inside of him, he wanted Heather to die, so he wouldn’t have to go through with the embarrassment of divorce. I knew he wanted Heather to die as he smirked as her lifeless body rose up to the top of the pool.

Carl began to freak out however, at the realization that he has just killed a human being. And his wife at that. He frantically looked around and I was wondering about what he was looking for, until he set his eyes in my direction.

“I see you.” I heard him whisper, and I froze. H-he sees me? I quickly turned around as he ran down to the edge of the fence, and I made sure to run into the house and lock the door. I didn’t want to be caught by him, I don’t want to be killed by him. In fear, I sat on the cold kitchen floor as the image of the pool flashed into my mind once more.

I got up from the cold kitchen floor and ran into the safety of my own bedroom, my own place of comfort because I needed warmth. Nothing could’ve prepared me for Heather’s death and I couldn’t stop shaking in my bed as I thought about what I had just witnessed.

Wait, Heather was never ever supposed to die in Rocky Road, she was supposed to leave near the end of the season and then go star in the Rocky Road spin-off, Old-town Oasis. Oh, it was cancelled before it got a second season.

Hang on a second, if Heather died now then Penelope’s storyline will change and then the Butterfly Effect will take place and oh my plum. Everyone’s storylines will become slightly different in one way or another, but why? What changed from what happened in the show to now? What possibly could’ve occurred that changed the storyline as a whole? Heather’s words began to ring in my mind at that second,

“I’ll tell you again! I didn’t tell Penelope about our divorce! I swear. Now, if you’re going to keep accusing me of something I did when YOU’RE in the wrong! HA!”

I was the main cause, my influences on everyone. I told Penelope that her parents were talking about the divorce and that probably led to Penelope asking her parents about the divorce which then resulted in that argument which then resulted in Heather’s death!

What have I done?

Season 1 – Episode 6

Shopping with Anna and Eddie was refreshing, they didn’t linger around places and took meaningful glances at clothes before moving on, just like me. Eddie didn’t even mind that me and Anna took longer in the women’s section than he did in the men’s, and that is a sign of perfect husband material. Anna and I had so much fun looking at the accessories, while Eddie was looking at all of the ties over in another section.

Eddie was a lawyer, so he always had to look his best while Anna was a #1 Bestselling Author with her mystery and fantasy novels, she even wrote cook books too! I remember when the Rocky Roadies got one of Anna’s books published and I was sent one in the mail, it was so awesome! It had all of Anna’s best recipes that she cooked in the show and when I remember trying to make some of them and failing drastically. That’s when I knew take-out or going to restaurants or microwave meals were more my forte.

While shopping in our second store, they picked out some clothes for me to try on, and to my astonishment, they looked pretty nice on me! And, it’s almost hard to find anything that I like which suits me.

“My, my. Eddie, doesn’t she look dashing?” Anna looked up at Eddie who held her hand gently. They’re so sweet together, it’s adorable.

“She does look beautiful, Anna.” Eddie smiled down at Anna, and the pair of them then looked at me as I looked into the mirror.

“I do feel beautiful.” I giggled, and they both walked up behind me as we stared into the mirror together. Eddie, Anna and me; we looked like one big happy family, at least, that’s what I felt. I’m sure they felt it too!

“And that’s all that matters!” Eddie and Anna said in time with each other. That was their motto in life, if you feel happy, that’s all that matters. But also, if you’re happy, you must make the people around you feel happy too, otherwise it’s just selfishness.

I looked into the mirror closer and saw a girl looking over at me, as I tried to look closer, she disappeared from the mirror view and as I turned around, she was gone. It was strange. She seemed familiar but, I couldn’t put my finger on it as to where the familiarity came from.

I turned around straight after and smiled at Eddie and Anna. They told me that they had already paid for the clothes, which I took graciously and thanked them for it.

“Let’s go to the next shop!” I suggested as I headed straight for the door, and they didn’t hesitate to follow straight after me. We walked into the next shop, which was a much bigger shop than the last one and it contained many more clothes than I could count.

Anna and I quickly got to work, trying to find the most amazing item of clothing in the store, while Eddie had already found himself a pair of tanned brogue shoes that he liked. Men, so simple. They’re so lucky to have that kind of simplicity in their lives.

There was just too much in the store that I liked! There was dresses and jeans and t-shirts and necklaces and rings and bracelets, there was just so much. I kept thinking about how to combine one thing with another and make the perfect outfit and how to DIY some things over to make them look even more fabulous.

“All of this looks so great, but I can only pick one!” I told myself, as I continued to scour the store, looking for the best item. Until I came across the perfect outfit, I couldn’t believe how perfect this outfit looked. I quickly ran over to it, to make sure that I wasn’t seeing some hallucination!

It was the perfect outfit! But, while I tried to convince the shop attendant to let me take the outfit off the mannequin, the same girl in the black hoodie appeared before me again. She’s too familiar! It’s just on the tip of my tongue… AMELIA.

It’s Amelia! But, what is she doing here? I quickly try and follow her out of the store, but Eddie stops me before I can leave.

“Where are you going?” He smiles at me, and I cross my legs standing up.

“I really need the toilet…” I linger the last sentence as Eddie paves the way for me as I quickly run out of the shop and down into the toilets just outside. What’s interesting is that Amelia recognised me. How does she recognise me and how the plum is she back so early into the show? She’s not due to be back yet… this is really weird.

I walked into the bathroom carefully as I examined the area to see if I could see Amelia, that was until someone tapped me on the back and I turned around in fright.

“AH!” I screamed to find Amelia standing right behind me, in a black hoodie, right in front of me.

“How come you’re so scared, Evelyn?” Amelia asked me and I scratched my head.

“How… do you know my name?” I replied to her and she peered in closely.

“Oh right, you probably lost your memory. The truth is, I found you on the street and after I picked you up, you instantly recognised me and told me to run far away and then to come looking for you soon. And then I left, and here I am.” I said that? Wow, I really must do things courageously when I don’t know what I did. Okay, I totally didn’t make sense.

“Okay, what do you need help with?” I scratched my hair with both of my hands. Things were about to get a whole lot more complicated than I ever hoped them to be. I only thought that I was just living in the world, not interacting with its plot and history!

“I need you to help me because of that psycho, Lucy!”

“Wait, Lucy? Why?” I mean, I knew she was a cheater and everything, but what part did she play in the hospitalization of Amelia?

“Lucy is the insane plum who wants my dad’s money! She made me look like a violent and insane person by drawing all these weird images in a notebook and proclaimed that they were mine when they weren’t. She also acted like I was trying to kill her one evening when I wasn’t! I was just watching a live stream and dad comes running into my bedroom asking me if it was true. Lucy will probably kill my dad next just so that she can get his money.” Amelia spat onto the ground. “Gold Digger.”

Wait a second.

“Amelia! Wait until Episode– no. You can come back into town soon and tell Michael everything, he will listen to you and hopefully you’ll be able to drive Lucy out of your house.” I told Amelia, and she nodded her head.

“Really? Well, I’ll come back in a week or two, I’ve just got to clear some things up outside of town first. Do you have a phone yet? I could give you my number.”

“Nope, I’ll probably have to get a job to save up for one.” I laughed, I realized that I’m starting to live a brand new life here, one that came to me by surprise. Was it a blessing? Or, was it a curse in disguise? I didn’t know, but I wanted to enjoy every moment of it, even the drama. But, at the same time, I had to be careful because I know what some people are capable of and it’s also dangerous, living in this place.

“Well, I’ll have to get going now. The police are still on the lookout for me. Speak to you soon.” Amelia waved as she exited the toilet stall. I took a deep breath and looked at myself in the mirror.

“This is all part of your plan to let all the good people have their happy ending. Don’t be scared.” I tried to tell myself but I couldn’t stop my hand from shaking.

Season 1 – Episode 5

I knew that as soon as I walked into the café with Luke, Penelope would look at me while spouting curses behind Luke’s back but in front of my face. Please, girl you had your chance with him and he REJECTED you. We’re just friends anyway so I’m not sure why she got so defensive. I rolled my eyes as I sat down on the seat next to her.

“So, you’re here.” Penelope looked straight into my eyes, and I nodded my head, “Don’t even know why you think you can just sit here with me.”

I quickly moved to the seat opposite Penelope as Luke came back to the table after looking at the menu and he smiled at the both of us, “Right, there’s a lot of things on the menu and I think I’m going to have a Caramel Macchiatto. What are you two going to have?”

“The same!” The two of us shouted at the same time, before shooting a deadly gaze at each other.

“Right… okay. I’ll be back.” Luke turned around and walked up to the counter as Penelope continued to stare at me. Her staring is no joke, it could’ve literally burned a hole through my head… unless that’s what she was hoping for!

Luke came back with the coffee and some cupcakes soon after which broke the deadly silence that was surrounding me and Penelope. Luke took the seat next to mine as Penelope scowled in defeat. I took my coffee and took a sip, it was warm and sweet, my kind of coffee!

“So, I heard that a Detective went to the Greens’ house looking for you.” Penelope laughed and I looked right at her.

“Yeah, he wanted my help with a case and it was really exciting!” I began to explain everything that happened, with me apparently being the last person to talk to Amelia and also given a job to do by the detective, the dreamy Detective Lyons.

“WOW. I’m so jealous of you! I want to work as a detective as well under Detective Lyons. He’s been one of my idols since he solved the case over in Old-town Oasis. I hope that I’ll be able to join him soon so I can help him with the Amelia Green case!” As soon as Luke finished his sentence, I instantly shuddered as if a cold breeze went past me.

Did… someone just walk over my grave? No, that’s not possible but if it was, I should be careful from now on. Brrrr.

“Are you cold? Come here.” Luke placed his arm around me as he rubbed my shoulder, warming it up. It felt really, really nice and it made my day, seeing Penelope’s jealous expression and then trying to hide it by drinking her coffee. Too bad it was warm and not hot.

“I WANT TO join the Detective Career too!” Penelope announced and I burst out into a fit of laughter, and both of them looked at me.

“Haha, says the girl who didn’t graduate with enough qualifications to even get a job like that!” Wait a second… I said that out loud, didn’t I? PLUM. PLUM. I looked at Luke and Penelope to find them looking right at me and their eyebrows were raised.

“How do you know that? Did you do a background check on me? They’re illegal you know!” Penelope argued and I shook my head. I plummed up, and I had to come up with a quick solution.

“Oh… I’m psychic!” I giggled, as I tried to think of something to support my convincing lie. “I know that Penelope always puts two sugar cubes in her coffee at home before drinking it!”

“Oh. My. God. You are psychic! That’s totally awesome! But, it doesn’t mean I like you or I suddenly think you’re cool.” Penelope laughed and when I looked over at Luke, he was still staring right at me, unconvinced. I knew it was going to be this way and I had to come up with a long-term solution.

The bell on the door rang and I always look over to see who comes in, to see if I know them. It was always fun, catching up with people you knew in a coffee shop. Alexander had walked in and he had ordered his coffee beforehand, and had only come to pick it up.

“Alexander! Over here!” I called him over. He looked at me and smiled as he walked over and tried to sit next to Penelope, but she wouldn’t budge. However, she finally moved to the side after Luke glared at her.

“About yesterday–” I began but Alexander waved his hand in front of me, which caused me to stop speaking.

“It’s fine, I had a lot of fun.” Alexander smiled at me, and I smiled back.

“What did you do?” Luke asked with his hands on the table, seemingly interested in what was behind our conversation. Seeing as I know Luke is really gullible, I decided to play a little bit of a joke on him.

“Oh Luke, we had a steamy exchange in the shower, hot tub and even in the bed. Oh my.” I started to fan my face as Alexander burst out laughing, Penelope has her mouth wide open and Luke was in between shocked and angry. “KIDDING!”

“Haha, nice joke.” He laughed awkwardly. Maybe I overdid it.

“Anyways, you should come over again Evelyn, maybe we could paint together.” Alexander suggested and I agreed to the idea. He then rose up from his seat and looked over at Penelope. “You know, your personality causes your spots and zits on your face. So, I guess they’ll never go away.”

“WHY YOU!” Penelope tried to hit Alexander but he was already half way to the door as he hand swung for him. He exited through the door three seconds later and I heard the bell ring once more, to signal his exit.

“He’s gone. Phew.” Luke sighed as he took a sip of his coffee.

“Yeah, the creep left.” Creep? Why is she calling him a– oh. It’s this, isn’t it.

“You know, I’m glad he stopped stalking you, it was getting super weird.” Yeah, it’s definitely it. Penelope made up a vicious rumour about Alexander after he caught her cheating on her last boyfriend with someone else. After that, Alexander was forever known as the Stalker of Rocky Road. If I was going to make things right, Alexander was my first step.

“Alexander isn’t a stalker. He’s not a creep either. He’s a nice man.” I firmly stated and Penelope began to laugh.

“Oh my, one girl decides that he’s a good person and so everyone should believe her! Girl, you haven’t been here so you don’t know everything. So, stop acting like you do.” Penelope remarked and I laughed my anger out. I can’t believe she’s doing something like this.

“No. I know he’s a good person, I have a gut feeling.” I replied back to her, and Luke then turned my head towards his.

“Evelyn, I think it’s best if you don’t hang around Alexander. You don’t know what he might do to you. We’re only trying to help.” I can’t believe it. They remind me of… my parents. I know Penelope doesn’t care about me, but I was surprised at what Luke was saying. Alexander is my friend and I don’t care what anyone else says, I know he is a great person because I’ve watched him for most of my life.

I stood up from my seat, with both Penelope and Luke staring right at me. I stared into Penelope’s eyes before staring into Luke’s. I turned around and headed outside, I couldn’t take arguing with them about Alexander anymore and it was difficult arguing with them.

I turned towards the shopping district and walked down towards the shops. Maybe a little bit of window shopping will do me good, since you know, I have no money since I somehow travelled to a world where my favourite tv show comes alive and I have to deal with everything. I guess it’s right when they tell you that you only see what the camera wants you to see.

Ow! I accidentally bumped into something and fell down onto the floor. I looked up to find that I bumped into an elderly lady. I didn’t mean to! I looked up to see her. Anna Brown, and to her right was Eddie Brown.

“Are you okay, deary?” Anna asked me as she held out her hand to help me up. I took it and I nodded my head in response to her question. But then, I thought a little bit about her question and I shook my head.

“Not reallly.” I replied before bursting out into tears, and Anna then embraced me into a hug and it was one of the warmest hugs I’ve ever received. It felt like a hug that a proper parent gives to their child, and one that I should’ve received from my parents when I went through all my tough times.

However, thinking of Eddie and Anna Brown and comparing them to parents, I began to feel really sorry for them. In Rocky Road, when they fell in love, it was too late for them to conceive and even if they wanted to adopt a child and raise one, the costs would be too much for them since they can only work part-time now. And so, they remained childless.

“Do you want to come shopping with us?” Eddie asked me and I was already heading in that direction, so I accepted his request and the three of us then walked down the street, like a happy family into another part of the mall.

Season 1 – Episode 4

The name Amelia Green rang through my head like a bell. She doesn’t come back until later on in the season, yes! Oh… so I’m going to have to play the waiting game until she comes back then? Ugh, that’s so terrible! We never really find out where she went anyway, so I guess I can’t track her down either.

“Fran, I’m going to head out for a while. I’ll be back before dinner.” I told her and she stood up and gave me a hug. It was odd, but it felt strangely warm as well. I loved it, it was better than my mother’s hugs, not that I remember how they felt like.

“Just come back soon, okay? And don’t go too far, you might not remember your way back!” Fran advised and I nodded. Although, I think watching this television show for most of my life has taught me where everything is, so I can go as far as I want! Actually, no because I know exactly where I need to go.

I felt that it was time to pay Amelia’s parent and step-parent a visit. Amelia’s mother died after a horrible accident during a bank robbery and Michael had only gotten over it when he met his recent wife, Lucy. Ugh, she’s one of the plums. She’s cheating on Michael with various men and women, but I couldn’t think about it any more as I pressed the doorbell.

“Heya Miss. What’cha doing out here?” Michael asked me as he stroked his freshly shaven beard. I looked into the window where I saw Lucy peeking out through the curtains, haha.

“I came over because I wanted to talk about Amelia… I’m a student intern at the Police Station and they asked me to do some questioning surrounding her disappearance and they thought I would be better to ask you since I’m around Amelia’s age.” I know what people may think. How dare I pretend to be an officer trying to get information from her worried parents. But, when I looked at both of their faces after I was invited in, only one was looking completely worried and I think everyone could guess who that was.

“Oh hello. I am Lucy Green and… Amelia… oh my, Michael.” Lucy weeped, but I could see through the acting that she was putting on. I wasn’t going to stand for Plum Poop, but I had to act along with her, just to keep up my facade. She put on a brave face and smiled at me a few moments later.

“So, the first question I’d like to ask is why was Amelia admitted into a mental hospital? I tried to request her patient records but it was confidential.” I asked the two of them. I was surprised that I was saying all of this stuff, I felt like I was opening the door to something bigger and I was getting involved in the main plot of a show! I WAS A SECRET AGENT!

“Ah, it’s a long story. What’cha see is uh, ever since Lucy came here–” Michael started before he began to shake with worry. I feel sorry for Michael, but I knew that Amelia’s disappearance was for the best, for now. Meanwhile, Lucy was cuddling Michael before continuing what he was saying.

“What Michael was saying was, Amelia was drawing disturbing pictures of her killing me and it was very hurtful to see her think of me in that way. And also, she was chanting demonic things and also she nearly killed me one evening and I still have the scar from that night.” Lucy rolled up her sleeve to reveal a deep cut. Ouch, if Amelia did do this then she might’ve had a good reason to.

“After that, Michael thought it was best if we admitted Amelia into a mental asylum, so we took her to St. Bunny’s Sanatorium.” Lucy finished before she continued ‘crying’ some more. I’m tried to think about what happened to Amelia, Michael and Lucy later on in the show but my mind is drawing a huge blank. Ugh, I think the car accident may have resulted in some memory loss, but I don’t remember.

“Ah right, is there anything else you want to tell me before I leave?” I asked before the pair of them shook their heads. Michael seemed innocent but Lucy seemed to be hiding something, her face is telling me so. She avoided my gaze whenever I looked at her and her body language was always in a defensive position. Taking those psychology and criminology classes are probably the only thing I would ever than my Mom for. “Well, I hope that Amelia comes back soon then, and I shall see you soon.”

I hoped to myself that Amelia comes back soon, just so that I could solve this entire mystery. My head began to fill up with all information and memories and it began to stress me out, so I ran in a completely random direction until I came across a building that looked familiar.

“Alexander’s Studio!” I realised that I shouted it out loud and quickly quietened down straight away as I walked up to the door. I looked inside to find a light on and realised that someone, presumably Alexander was inside. I took a few steps back and embraced the environment around me. I was by Alexander’s Studio, a place that I only could dream of having, and it’s right in front of me as I speak! This was like a dream come true.

“How did you get here?” I heard someone ask behind me, and when I turned around I found out that it was Alexander. He was dressed in more casual clothes this time, which better suited his image. He stood with his arms crossed and he stared at me, right in the eyes. “No one knows about this place apart from me.”

Plum. This was the first time my all-knowingness has gotten me into major trouble and I didn’t know how to respond. I scratched my head for a solution and luckily one came right into my mind.

“I’m a psychic! I know that your studio passcode is…” I did a bit of psychic chanting, it was a little embarrassing but I had to have him believe my lie! I’m going to turn into a compulsive lier at the end of this season and ugh, I’m not going to like myself. “Seven, three, zero, one!”

His mouth dropped open as he knew that it was obviously the right passcode, and just a minute later he closed his mouth and clapped his hands. “I guess you’re welcome here anytime, Evelyn the psychic girl.”

“What are you even doing here anyway?” Alexander asked me while he went around the studio, taking paintings down from the wall.

“Well, I wanted to see your paintings because my psychic powers tell me you’re very artistic. I think you have a sprinkle of Gogh, a dollop of Da Vinci and finally, colours like your bright personality!” I laughed as I knew that’s exactly what Alexander says to people when they ask what his paintings are like.

“Oh wow, okay.” Alexander smiled before he took out one of his paintings from the storage room and placed it on the wall for Evelyn to see.

The painting looked beautiful. The amount of colours that went into this painting and the emotion that was captivated into this painting is so powerful that, it makes me wonder about everything. Past, present and future.

“Hey, what do you want to do in the future?” I asked Alexander before he turned to me and laughed.

“Isn’t it obvious?” He pointed out before standing right next to the painting. “I want to paint and paint and paint ALL DAY LONG!”

“I wish I could do that bu–” Before I was going to finish my sentence, Alexander walked over and put his finger on my lips. “Mmmm mmmbmmmm”

“Shhh.” Alexander muttered before he took his finger away from my mouth.

“If you can dream it, you can do it.” He smiled and I began to laugh.

“That’s a total film rip-off!” And then I stopped laughing before I realised that it was ripped off from the Rocky Road film… it didn’t do great in sales but that line made the film for me, haha! “I guess, I think my dream is to live happily in a place where I can be recognised and treated like the person I want to be.”

I didn’t expect Alexander to then pull me into a hug and just stand there. Awkwardly. In a hug. For twenty minutes straight. It was warm, but it was VERY awkward.

“So, Alexander–”

“Call me Alex.” He smiled down at me.

“Alex, do you think that Penelope will ever stop acting like a plum? I mean, she had a massive rant at me earlier for just bumping into her but, she seems stressed.” I sighed before Alexander stared at me with what looked like a bold intent.

“Listen, I’m sorry to hear that she had a rant at you but, you need to be warned. You don’t know what she could do to you if you keep being on the wrong side of her, and you don’t know how far she’ll go to make sure you come over to the right side. And if it comes to it, she’s prepared to do anything. Just… be warned.” Alexander sighed before tapping me on the shoulder. But, I did know everything Penelope’s capable of and… it scared me to death.

Season 1 – Episode 3

My first instinct was to go to Penelope’s house, which we were introduced in the very first episode of Rocky Road due to her being a main character. Also, being the richest in the neighbourhood, it was really easy to see her house from my end of the street. Penelope’s lavish house is decorating with the finest of everything; finest stone, finest wood, finest porcelain, things that I could only dream of having.

When I arrived near her house, I walked up to the front door only to hear the sound of a crashing plate. I would’ve normally went away from this sort of sound, but if my suspicions were right, I knew exactly what it was and so, I followed the sound to find a window.

“You jerk! I clearly saw you with that poor excuse for a woman, and yet you want to make up stories to cover it up?” A woman, Heather. Penelope’s Mother. She was shouting at who looked like Carl, Penelope’s Father. OH RIGHT! They’re argued about Divorce for the first few episodes of the first season.

“I’m telling you it’s not true! You saw wrong. If you can’t trust me or if you’re using this as an excuse to divorce me, then leave me!” Carl shouted back at Heather and she puffed some air out of her lungs, in what seemed to be annoyance.

“EXCUSE? Excuse? I have loved you since the first time we met at that candlelit café and you have the decency to call this an EXCUSE? You’ve changed Carl, and I don’t like it. Now, I shall–” Heather, at this point was staring at me through the window. Plum, I had been caught. “You there! What are you doing?!”

Thanks to sneaking out of my parent’s house all those times, I was quick at reaction and as soon as she saw me, I bolted out into the street and out into the countryside. That was so close, and I hoped that Heather didn’t catch a glimpse of my face. This makes me remember Penelope’s storyline, it did have it’s ups and downs, but she did manage to survive through everything.

I caught my breath before attempting to walk again, but when I did, I crashed into the person I was looking for.

“Well well well, what do we have here?” Penelope scoffed as she seemed to examine me up and down. “I never knew those clothes were in season right now! Where did you get them? The dollar store?”

Okay, for a character that doesn’t really exist, it kind of hurt me to hear her say that. I tried to keep my anger in, and after my (was it recent? I wasn’t sure anymore) outburst with my parents, I guessed I shouldn’t be picking any fights with anyone at the moment.

“You see, my parents own Waters Multiplex Mall, a billion simoleon business. That makes me rich, and that makes me a thousand times better than you. So, why did you think it was such a bright idea to clash with me and spread your poor people germs all over my skin! Ew! I totally need a disinfecting and exfoliating cucumber and avocado mud bath, I should call my personal spa specialist.” Penelope complained and then began to laugh, along with her friend Alison. I couldn’t hold it in anymore, I couldn’t stand to be belittled like this.

“At least my parents aren’t thinking about divorce over a cheating husband.” I laughed, and continued to laugh as Penelope’s face turned red. It looked just like a beetroot, it was so funny. Penelope then huffed and turned her head back towards me, in an evil stare. I knew this stare from episode 7 of the second season of Rocky Road and, from that, I knew that she was about to get real.

“You still don’t get it do you? I can ruin you, I can isolate you from everyone you know and make you an embarrassment in this town. I am the Queen Bee, and there’s nothing you can do to stop me. I can even get rid of you, if you become too much of an annoyance in my life. Ugh, I might get wrinkles from all this frowning! Alison, let’s go get Low Fat, Mocha Frappuchinos with Caramel Sauce and totally hit the spa to get some of those facials I talked about! Woo!” Penelope clicked her fingers before she walked off with Alison down the street, and I was left there, alone.

Penelope’s words made me realise something. If I was truly in this town, then I have to live here and I can’t go around acting all high and mighty just because I know everything that’s going to happen. That’s the wrong choice and people who make the wrong choices eventually suffer in the end and my suffering could be my own death.

I ran back to Luke’s house after that, I felt so plum for everything that I said and heard that I began to cry. No, it wasn’t as bad as when I saw the Rocky Road Season Finale, but it was probably half of that. It was probably the same as how much I cried when I fell off my Rocky Road bike when I was 14.

“Dear, what’s wrong?” Luke’s mother, Fran tried to call out of me, but I ignored it and ran straight up into Luke’s bedroom. I jumped onto his bed (which I’ve wanted to do for the longest time) and cried. It wasn’t long before Luke came into the bedroom and sat down on the bed near me, to which I then sat up and sat down next to him.

“What’s up, Evelyn? That’s your name right?” Oh Luke, your forgetfulness is the same.

“I’m okay, I’ve just had a rough day.” I wipe the tears off of my face as I force a smile for him.

“You know, if you cry too much you’ll lose all your water and resort to crying out your blood.” Luke warned, and even I knew that was too good to be true. I laughed along with Luke before the conversation fell silent.

“Why do you think people are such plums sometimes?” I asked Luke, and he shrugged his shoulders like he wasn’t sure. I mean, one of his friends is a massive plum, so he should know the answer.

“Maybe they haven’t found what they’re looking for. Maybe they’re jealous of someone or something or maybe they’re just scared of letting everyone seeing the real them. In any case, people have their own reasons for being plums.” Luke replied and I guess the latter reason was Penelope’s reason, but it doesn’t mean I’ll forgive her, even if she’s a TV character, she hurt my feelings!

“Ugh, I’m not sure how I’m going to live from here.” I thought out loud and Luke patted my back.

“It’ll all work itself out soon. Just wait.” Luke advised and I finally figured out what I’m going to do in this town.

I’m going to make the people who deserve to be happy, happy and make sure that nothing gets in the way of their happiness because they don’t deserve to be treated like plums. Maybe that’s the reason why I was sent here, to restore everything to what it should be. Or maybe, I was sent here for another purpose, but as Luke says later on this season, let’s not worry about that for now.

I smiled and stood up from my sofa before someone knocked the door and then opened it, and it was Fran.

“Hi! I just hoped I wasn’t disturbing you two in case you were…” Fran started and me and Luke stared at her.

“MOM!” Luke shouted at her and she immediately backed off.

“Okay, okay! I only came in here to say that there’s a Detective Lyons downstairs to see Evelyn.” Fran scratched her head as I walked downstairs and saw him, Detective Lyons who I had a minor crush on when he first made his appearance in Rocky Road and my oh my, he still looks FINE!

“Sorry to disturb you Miss… Evelyn. I’m Detective Elliott Lyons and I’m here to question you on the disappearance of Amelia Green.” He introduced himself, while handing me his card. Amelia Green? That name sounds familiar, like Luke’s bedroom, so I’m guessing she’s a character here.

“I don’t know who she is. I recently got into a car accident and my mind is a bit fuzzy, sorry.” I replied to him and he stroked his beard very slowly.

“Well, we at the station, we received an anonymous tip that you were the last person to see this girl, and to speak to her too. They didn’t provide any evidence of this event, but we always follow up leads just to be sure.” He nodded his head to me. Penelope probably sent that tip in, the… breathe Evelyn.

“I’m sorry but, I don’t remember speaking to an Amelia Green. But, I hope you manage to find her soon.” I smiled at him, and he took out a picture out of his pocket and passed it over to me. “What’s this?”

“It’s a picture of Amelia Green, it might ring a bell.” He said to me before I looked down at it, and examined it closely.

I know her! Not from talking to her, but from the show! She’s Michael Green’s daughter! But… why is she missing?

“Sorry but, I don’t know her.” I sighed as I tried to pass the picture over to him, but he just pushed it back over to me. “Why?”

“If she ever attempts to contact you, make sure you tell me. You can keep that picture with you for identification.” He smiled before he rose up from his seat and walked over to the door.

“WAIT!” I quickly told him as a question has sprung into my mind, and he quickly turned around. “Why did she run away from home?”

“She didn’t run away from home.” Detective Lyons inhaled and then exhaled deeply, while pushing his glasses back up. “She escaped from a mental asylum.”

Season 1 – Episode 2

The credits came onto the screen as the episode finished. That was not an ending, that was just a bunch of plum put together and it was bunny plum! The ending to my favourite TV show was completely rubbish and I wasn’t even sure what I was going to do. But, I was completely sure that everyone was going to agree with me about this.

I turned on my computer and immediately went onto the Rocky Roadies forum page where I was met with a lot of forum threads detailing how they loved the ending. How could they have loved something so terrible and something so… ghastly? Everything that happened in that episode didn’t make sense and life doesn’t even make sense any more! I turned off my monitor in anger and slammed my hands down on the table.

“DAMN IT.” I spat at myself. Everyone has left me and I’m all alone now, and I’m not even sure how to move on from everything. How was I going to wake up tomorrow and return to life? Oh yeah, I’ll paint a few art pieces and sell them off and live the rest of my life as a creative person. No, it probably won’t happen and I’m stupid for thinking that.

Overall, I’m a wreck. I want to live a life that might not even work and I don’t want to be forced to live a life that I don’t want. Ugh.

“What am I going to do?” I sighed to myself as I made up my mind to go for a walk. Although, even when my emotions piled up, I ran out of the house almost blinded by my tears, and because of that, I never saw it coming. I never saw the bright lights heading right for me. I never saw the car hit me and me fly over the car. I never saw the night sky as my vision turned black. All because my tears blinded me.

– – –

I’m alive? I’m alive! I tried to open my eyes but the light was blinding, it was probably morning and I must’ve rested for the night. Although, I felt oddly okay. My body didn’t hurt at all and I felt good as new, these doctors must be… I was not in a hospital. I didn’t hear the usual sounds of the beeps and the talking and the woo woos. Am I dead? No. I felt very much alive, so where was I? I managed to muster enough energy to open by eyes and see where I was.

Woah, where the plum was I? This room seemed familiar but, I just couldn’t put my finger on it. It was like, someone huge lives in this bedroom and I should know who but I didn’t remember. Did I have memory loss? No. I knew my name, it’s Evelyn Parker and this bedroom belonged too…

“Oh, you’re awake. Lovely.” A masculine voice, familiar once again spoke out by the door. I turned my head to find him stood there. Luke Knight. But, how could he possible be here? Oh wait, it had to be the actor right, Conrad Mitchell?

“How did I get here? Who are you? Why are you here? What happened to me? Where am I? How am I?” I asked him all sorts of questions before he came into the room placed his finger on my lips. I asked him who he was just to be sure I wasn’t dealing with a lunatic who got plastic surgery to look like Conrad, because that HAS happened before.

“You got here because I picked you up from the road and took you in here. I’m Luke Knight. I’m here because this is my house and you’re in my bedroom.” He began to answer, but I heard Luke Knight right? He… introduced himself as Luke Knight?! Where the plum was I?! I started to shake and get a little scared but he held my shoulders and calmed me down a little.

“I found you on the side of the road, so I took you in. I’m not sure what happened to you but you looked almost lifeless, I couldn’t just leave you there. Plus, the hospital is about three miles from Rocky Road so keeping you here was the best option.” Luke explained the rest. And the words Rocky Road rang in my mind like a doorbell.

“Did you just say… Rocky Road?” I asked him and he nodded. This was too real to be a dream and this was too weird to be a reality.

“Yeah… Do you have a place to go to? You don’t seem to have any memory loss and you seem perfectly normal.” Luke smiled at me and I couldn’t help but giggle on the inside. Although, if my suspicions were correct, I don’t have a place to go.

“No. I’m a homeless orphan.” That’ll work. Luke went outside of his bedroom for a couple of minutes, which allowed me to compose myself and get my act together. I had to figure out what the plum was going on and how I was going to get home. Luke came back in and smiled, “Great news! I talked to my mom.”

Fran Knight is his mom. “And?”

“You can stay here for the time being, but not sleeping with me. Sleeping in the spare room. We’ll get it ready for you.” Luke was about to leave the room again before turning his head back towards me. “What’s your name? You never said it.”

“Evelyn. Evelyn Parker.” I smiled at him and he nodded his head.

“Nice to meet you, the girl with a beautiful name. Evelyn Parker.” Luke reminded himself as he exited through the door. I started to think of many theories of how I could have ended up in this world.

I was having a huge hallucination? I was dead? No… these were all theories that made no sense. But, what if the car that hit me launched me high enough to be sucked through a multi-dimensional portal into a world where Rocky Road exists? That was a very logical and very reasonable explanation!

I suddenly felt the need to go outside, so I rose up from the bed and walked straight downstairs and out the door where the wind blew out and hit me like a revitalizing energy of life. I was actually in Rocky Road, and Rocky Road was all around me.

I looked to my right to see the Green house while to my left, I see the King, Brown and Waters houses. This is all so exciting to see! I can’t believe I’m actually here and I can’t believe that I’m seeing people that I’ve seen on TV! I looked at the various people who walked past Luke’s house and remembered seeing them in the pilot episode of Rocky Road.

When I walk out onto the pavement, I bump into a guy who immediately turned around to face me. It’s none other than Alexander King. His black hair is styled in the way that he did it in Season One of Rocky Road and his eyes are so vibrant that they look like they’re full of dreams waiting to be acomplished.

“Woah, I’m sorry!” He apologized before he made his way over towards me.

“I’m okay, honestly. I’m just busy thinking about the sky. I might want to paint it sometime.” Okay, I admit using my own knowledge of the show to my advantage was not a great thing, but I needed to make friends and who better than someone who has the same interests as me?

“You like painting? Did you go to the Kingly Art Exhibit yesterday?” No. But I did remember the flashback that was on the show, so let’s just say that I was.

“Why yes! I loved the pieces, especially the one with the Freezer Bunny in the fridge. It was so thought provoking.” I smiled and he nodded his head.

“I’m glad you think so. Hey, my name is Alexander but you can just call me Alex.” He introduced himself, not that I already knew who he was.

“I’m Evelyn Parker, it’s my pleasure to meet you.” I smiled as continued to speak to each other.

After Alexander left, it occurred to me that I was on episode one, the pilot episode because everything was how it was back in the beginning. And I knew exactly what was going to happen in the show and I got to live in it! No one has ever received this opportunity, so why refuse it? I decided that I was going to follow the plot of the show and hopefully live all the seasons of Rocky Road.

And that means that my first task, is to meet Penelope Waters.

Season 1 – Episode 1

Alexander wrapped his arms around Penelope slowly, and moved his mouth close to her ear. “I love you.”

Penelope squealed with delight as she faced him and then kissed him. The pair of them walked into the sunset together as both of their happiness were finally achieved, and they went on their way to Old-town Oasis to Penelope’s mother, and they lived the rest of their lives together.

The End.

Okay, that probably was the best fanfic I had ever written. My fingers worked like magic as the words flew out from my mind, onto the keys and weaved itself into a magical story of love between two characters of Rocky Road. I couldn’t wait to upload this on SimmPad since the Rocky Roadies were probably going to love this! I squealed as I proof-read my fanfic before submitting. Like Alexander says,

“First draft is the final draft!”

They are going to FREAK OUT over this. Penelope and Alexander aren’t in a relationship on the show, but there’s a lot of people who really hope they do get together. So, I guess this is a tribute to that part of the fandom since I had such a large number of my followers asking me to do one! I wouldn’t say I’m huge in the Rocky Roadies, but I am a platinum member with several privileges and everyone knows me. So… I guess I’m popular.

I published my fanfic titled “#Palexander” and a couple of minutes later, I realised that if I didn’t get ready now, I was going to be late to lunch with Mom and Dad. I jumped from my desk chair and ran into my wardrobe, picking out the clothes that made me look the most classy. (I now regret deciding not to sort out my wardrobe yesterday.) My parents are already angry with me for not going to University and taking Business Administration, so I should and at least try and show them that I’m living.

After managing to find some decent clothes, I threw them on my bed as I ran into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. Strawberry flavour today, and I’ll use my Luke Knight toothbrush. They only sell them to kids but, I couldn’t resist having a toothbrush of the TV show! Soon after brushing my teeth, I looked into the mirror to look to see if there was any major problems with my face.

I’m not the best looking, but at least I’m not the worst looking! After I washed my face thoroughly, I put on my clothes quickly and ran out the house. I had ten minutes to get onto the other side of town, that’s easy. I always came first when it came to marathons in High School and I know I still have it.

As I ran, the minutes decided to be mean to me and count down faster than I anticipated. When only a minute remained, I managed to make it to my parents house on the other side of Willow Creek and I knocked on the door. My dad made it to the door soon enough and he opened the door.

“You’re late again, Evelyn.” Were his first words to me, before he led me down to the lounge where my mom was sitting. The fireplace was crackling with the freshly placed wood and the whole place smelled like a forest. I would’ve felt at peace, if my parents weren’t here.

“So how are you, Mom? Dad?” I asked them as I sat down on the chair nearest the fireplace.

“We’re fine, dear. Yourself?” Mom answered me with what felt like a cold wind smack me across the cheek. I knew that this conversation wasn’t going to end well.

“I’m good, I’ve been better recently and I’m also getting ready for the latest Rocky Road episode on tonight. Do you still watch it, Mom?”

“I have no time to watch that programme since I’m busy working at the company since YOU decided you wanted to open an Art Studio, which hasn’t been doing well lately.” I can’t believe this, is this actually happening?

“You went through my business records? You had no right in doing that! Yes, my studio hasn’t been doing well lately, but the royalties I get from my fanfic pay for my meals, rent and extra goods just fine!” I explained to my parents, who probably were only listening to what they were saying.

“Listen, we’ve arranged for you to meet Porter Smith on Saturday evening at eight o’clock. It’d be great if you could attend and make a good impression, he might even want you as a wife.” Dad suggested but, I wasn’t going to do it. I wasn’t going to allow them to control my life yet again.

“Excuse me? You want me to go on a blind date, and maybe marry this man? When will you stop controlling my life and thinking I’m your puppet? When will you quit and let me just do what I want with my life?”

“When you stop being a disappointment to this family.” Dad stabbed me right in the heart, I couldn’t believe that he just said that to me. I tried to be independent and make my family proud of me, but all my efforts have been returned to me in the form of a knife in my heart.

“A disappointment, huh? The reason for that might be because of your amazing effort of bringing me up.” I retorted, and regretted saying soon after. I was too angry to not say something.

“ME AND YOUR FATHER DID EVERYTHING WE COULD. IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS FAMILY, JUST LEAVE.” Mom shouted at me with an almighty fury, and being a mix of upset and angry, I followed her instruction.

“Plum you Mom and plum you Dad. You pair of evil plumbobs.” Those were the last words I spoke to them before I left the house, leaving the door wide open.

Honestly, I don’t know how long it took me to get back home, but the sun was setting when I arrived back at my place. I breathed in and opened the door, and after I walked in, I walked over to my Luke Knight poster and cried.

“They just don’t realise that I can’t do everything that they want. I can’t put on a mask and pretend that I’m happy, because as long as you wear a mask, you can never be happy. Oh well Luke, at least I have you and the other members of Rocky Road.” And then, my computer beeped three times, indicating that I got an email from the Rocky Roadies. It was probably about my fanfic that I posted. I sat on my computer and opened my email.

HORRIBLE TURN OF EVENTS TO ROCKY ROAD.

I, Head of the Rocky Roadies, am sad to announce the official cancellation of Rocky Road by FBN (Freezer Bunny Network). The official statement claims that Rocky Road has been declining in viewers over the past couple of months and the television network has agreed that it’s finally time to end the show for once and for all.

So, the episode you’re going to see tonight is the last ever episode of Rocky Road. And let me tell you, it’s going to be the best ending you have ever seen in your entire life! But, as a final message, I want to thank everyone for such an amazing experience while the show was running and I hope that I can meet you all again in another show in the future.

Take care,

Tanya Clark, Head of the Rocky Roadies.

“What? What in the actual plum did I just read?” I said aloud to myself as I began to read over the email three hundred times over. I couldn’t believe it. No, I refused to believe that Rocky Road was over. It was my first ever obsession and it was the only thing that kept me going throughout the years of me being alone. And now, Rocky Road is abandoning me and I can’t believe it.

The more I began to think of a world without Rocky Road, I began to realise that it was probably time to let the show go. My obsession with this show has lasted for just over seven years now and, it was the only thing I would think about in school which led me to have a next to no social life. I loved this show, and I won’t forget it. But, I think it’s time for me to get a life.

A couple of hours later, I sat on my sofa, turned on the television and prepared myself for what Tanya said was the best ending I will ever see in my entire life.
