1.7. Rachyl’s Baking Empire 
Louise: Welcome back to the Hollander household. We once again find our manic matriarch working out even though
she has already maxed out her atheletic skill. Go read a book on handiness!
Leslie: Gotta stay in shape.
Louise: You are in shape. Gah, I give up. The readers probably want to check up on our honorable heirs, anyway… well, our potential heirs. Forget about the honourable.

Louise: They’re really flapping weird. Either they’re doing some sort of Tai Chi while sitting down, or they’re glitching in synch.
Kristy: You are such a nice nothing. Let me hug you.
Rachyl:
Ahahaha, my minion can turn invisible! Nothing can stop me now!
Louise: Luckily, there’s a time for glitching and there’s a time for dancing and snogging. While Kristy and Flo are rocking the
dance living room floor, Leslie and Sherman are rekindling their romance. Sherman must be in shock.
Sherman: Bwababa?

Louise: It is a good time to be romantic, because snow has started falling gently from the sky. And outside, the Creepy Day Pumpkins still persist despite having been there for a really long time.

Louise: When day comes, though, Leslie has to go off to work a couple of hours before Sherman goes off himself.
Sherman: It’sokayit’sokay… LesliewillbebackLesliewillbeback… Just… read a book and Leslie will be back.

Louise: Her father’s blatant display of creepy codependence doesn’t faze Rachyl, though. Our Lady Dictator the Easily Distracted is having a fruit punch to celebrate the fact that their first day of school is a snow day.
Rachyl: What did you…
I mean what did you say about me, mortal?Louise: Nothing, nothing, oh, super evil one.

Louise: But I will say that now that our terrible twins have aged up, Flo is free to actually go see her family before her husband dies. She bumps into her daughter, Ruby, instead, though.

Flo: Let me brag about my lovely grandchildren. Here’s a picture of a totally unrelated married couple that I got off the Internet.
Ruby: …
Flo: And this is some family’s holiday photo. I think they’re actually suing me for copyright infringement.
Ruby: You know you do have a grandchild –
my son – and you don’t have a single picture of him?
Flo: Have I shown you this picture I cut from a magazine?
Louise: In the end Flo leaves without having seen her husband and then he just kind of dies and leaves her alone and miserable… ouch.

Louise: No time for being sad, though, Rachyl is building her empire… of baked goods of vanillary goodness!
Rachyl:
Fool! With my baked goods and my baked goods selling stand thing I shall take over the world!Louise: Suuuuure…
Rachyl:
The earth will quake beneath my feet and my baked goods will…Louise: Burn.
Rachyl:
Yes! And then… wait, what?

Rachyl: Ahhh, no, they’re burnt!
Louise: You make my life more fun.

Louise: Speaking of life, and fun. Leslie got a promotion and is on level four of her career.
Leslie: Despite my squalid and sad condition, I am rising in the ranks. Soon, my boss will discover me and he shall be surprised to see the dedication I put into my job and make me an astronaut on the spot.
Louise: Dream on. That’s not even your new uniform.
Kristy and Rachyl: *sharing a look of utter confusion*

Louise: Anyway, we’re nearing the holiday season and it’s only, like, everyone who rolls a want to hang holiday lights. I’m always glad to comply, of course.
Everyone: No, you’re not!
Louise: Shush! Admiring my own glorious architecture!

Louise: And with enough baking, soon Rachyl has muffins that can actually be dubbed baked goods rather than baked bads.
Rachyl:
You got that joke from My Little Pony. You are not funny.Louise: I know I got that joke from My Little Pony… but how do you know?
Rachyl: *runs away*
Louise: Oh, such evil.

Louise: Evil who likes a bed time story, apparently.
Flo: And on this page you see another rocking chair. Real cherry tree with an embroidered seat cushion.
Rachyl:
This pleases me, mortal. Read on.Louise: I think she’s reading her the IKEA catalogue.

Louise: Of course, this is pretty big of Flo as she’s still heartbroken. Rachyl… she…
Flo: I miss him so much…
Rachyl:
I rejoice in your pain.Louise: What is your face?

Louise: Finally, another day comes, the snow isn’t too bad and the girls can go off to school in the school bus which is driven by a driver who cares so little she just sort of turns in the most awkward way possible.

Louise: The girls don’t look too thrilled.
Rachyl:
We’re currently spinning around in a school bus in which it is snowing. School will have a hard time competing in terms of novelty.Kristy: Snowing on the School Bus… that’s a good name for a band.
Louise: And with this bizarre image, we leave the Hollanders only to return another time.
In the end, have this picture of Sherman and Leslie in uniforms:

I couldn't work it into the story but I think it's really cute in any case.
