[quote=@MacieLightfoot] Gurdurr: Sorry about the Porygon Crack... I only know of one form of Porygon. I never had come across an Evolved form of a Porygon. Not before recent... like now. So... um... Any idea as to where the points of concern are to avoid coming across a encounter with any enemies?[/quote] "I understand where you're c-c-c-c-coming from," Porygon-Z related, "Evolution for my forms require the equipment of packaged programs developed by humans. As for where to avoid, map d-d-d-d-data suggests a likelihood of ambushes at or around Mississippi River crossings into Illinois from I-55 to the McKinley Bridge. I have found two possible detour c-c-c-c-crossings: I-270 near MotoMart or I-255 near Walmart." [quote=@MacieLightfoot]Pidgetta then got to the point of her past... making certain for Donald to be up to speed... Pidgetta flashed back... "Holly: *Walking over to the Teenage girl* Hey there. Girl: *Puffing* Hey. What’s up? something wrong? Holly: No. Just going around taking pictures and stuff. I’m a photo Junkie. Love taking pictures. Girl: Good for you. Picture taking is pretty cool. Anything of interest? Holly: Not really. Just random things. But i tend to also capture photos of things that potentially help some reporters from time to time that work for the Daily Planet. I make 30 bucks a photo… Actually for a group of pics. Because i sell the pics i take to them. Ones that they need when the time comes and it’s a picture that they’re in need of. Just good honest business. Gotta have that in this day and age. Girl: That’s an understatement. However i don’t think my Cousin would be too understanding. She’d be thinking it was extortion. She’s a sweet girl… but very cautions. All about doing the right thing. And fighting for what is right. Holly: Really? *Curious* She sounds like a real awesome person. Who’s your cousin? Girl: Well… here’s the thing. *Sighs while smoking* She over the last week had been called “The Rising Star.” Not sure what that’s about. Maybe she’s famous… Can’t tell. I have never seen her face to face as… I’m a Lightfoot by family bloodline. On her father’s side. My father Henry daniel Holmes… is Bobby Lightfoot’s brother. I’m the sole daughter of Henry Holmes. My mother… Maya teresa holmes is maiden named… Maya Teresa Laurelson. But until the other year… i never knew of my family roots. My father would never tell me as a few years ago… or 6 months before i was born… My father and Macie’s father had some type of stupid fight. Bullshit fight about something. Money most likely… but it was bad enough to where my father thought that Macie would be just like her father. So… i was to stay away. But just about 5 months ago… My father passed. He suffered a heart attack that took him down hard and swift. My mom’s since then went into a psych ward because of the loss. It was too great for her. So the last testament she did for me was emancipated me from her and told me: “Pidgetta, Your cousin, Macie is out there. Find her and be with her. She’s your cousin. I don’t care what issues your father had with her father and or her… She’s your cousin. She’s your blood. I know that i won’t be around much as this grief is killing me and i’ll die inside the Psych ward. I know it. But no matter what comes…. Know that i love you… and Tell Macie that her aunt Maya loves her. Despite of the bull fight that was between her father and Uncle. I love her just as well.” So… i got gathered my things and went on the road. With all i owned. And yes… My pack of smokes. Yeah. I smoke. But it’s only one every so often… like one a week to mellow out. Because of the nerves. However… i’m looking into getting myself into drinking Herbal tea or chamomile. better regimen… Holly: So… Your cousin… Your cousin is Macie? Girl: You got it. And in case you didn’t gather my name. It’s indeed… Pidgetta. Pidgetta Gerald Holmes (Lightfoot) Holly: Wow. How long were you on the road looking for her? Pidgetta: Longer than what i intended. But i never gave up. I just recently learned that she was in this city and then when i heard that Radio Broadcast earlier on in the day… I knew… i knew that i was finally in the right place. The Right city. To find her. Holly: Wow… So… you’re like all alone here. and are searching for her? Pidgetta: I know she’s around. I have to find her. She’s the only family i got left. Besides her parents who may have a shit fest if they saw me. But if Uncle Bobby has any care about his brother… he’ll at least acknowledge me. Holly: Pidgetta… I uh… i don’t think you caught the news of Macie yet. She’s… She’s not with them anymore. Since last year… Very early December of last year. Pidgetta: Come again… She’s not with them? Holly: No. She’s Emancipated from them. But has kept the last name and won’t rid herself of it. But… her father now… is a Cleaner… Hitman named Frank Holden. Pidgetta: I see… I’ll have to search him out. Where is he? Holly: Metropolis Getaway arms… Pidgetta: I’ll be sure to head over there. Thanks. Holly: Anytime. I have to get going. Pictures to take and people to see. But for what its worth… I hope that you find the one you’re looking for and you two reunite again… Pidgetta: Thanks. *Winks*” Pidgetta: *Voice-Over* There's more... For you see... it was the moment that i reunited with Macie that things really came to the surface...

Macie: *Looking to the side and seeing the teenage girl; Recognizing her from the picture she saw online* Pidgetta?! Pidgetta: Yeah.

Pidgetta: *in contact with her cousin and hugging her* Hey girl… It’s so great to meet you again. Reunite again. Macie: I don’t get it… How did you get here? How did you know i was here? Pidgetta: It’s called bloodlines, cousin. I would always find a way somehow. Plus that you’re the one who’s been texting me secretly. As i was also texting too. We kept in touch that way. Emailed too. And this moment ended the last few weeks of perpetual hell. I felt like crap for a long time as i was on the hunt for you. Searching for you. Knowing that you were to be my only family left. Macie: What about your mom and dad? My Uncle Henry. Pidgetta: He’s dead. He died 5 months ago. My mom’s in the psych ward. I’m emancipated and since then… i’ve dealt with the last 4 months in total hell. What hurts is that your dad… My Uncle Bobby didn’t even attend the funeral. to pay respects. I know for shit that they had their issues and they were going around being little brats in a hissy fit contest. See who can hold a grudge the longest. The fact is that he didn’t and he’s gonna have to live with that for the rest of his life. You never came either. But Macie… I don’t blame you. You couldn’t have known the truth behind what happened as your father Bobby was clearly too damn stupid and oblivious to tell you. You sure could have asked. Although he’d never say. So… i blame him. Your mom’s cool though. She was the only one that kept things neutral. Or tried to. But i won’t forgive your father… Biological one of course. I spent the last few weeks of the 4 months of hell making my way over to find you. I stopped at the place in Sheltered Shrubs and was told by some blonde girl… Courtney… that you were here in Metropolis. So… i came here. It took me forever to get here… But i’m here for you, Cousin. My father and your father fought and tried to keep us apart due to some fight. But it’s time that we reunited. We’re family. No matter what. The past is past and it’s time that we were reunited. *Smiles* You know. I happen to consider you pretty close to me. Strange, isn’t it? [img]https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/macie-melody-the-rising-star-lightfoot-102.gif [/img] Macie: It sure is strange. What i’d truly like to know is that… how did you find out about me since our parents happened to have some sort of fight all these years ago? They kept you and me a secret all our lives, Pidgetta. I was born after you were… a year after you. I was 5 years old when i first asked about having relatives. My parents… Your Aunt and Uncle… wouldn’t tell me. They would not even speak of you. because if were to know of you… it’d bring back in the brother to my father who’s your Uncle. And because of said fight… they didn’t want to chance it. Pidgetta: Parents can be such dicks at times. And i should know. My dad and I didn’t have that much a good relationship. It was rather strained and we never would agree on hardly anything. But it was life. It sucks. But it’s life. Macie: I know. I got a new dad. He’s a cleaner. Hitman. But he happens to love me. Pidgetta: I know. I was told that by some girl… Someone who is just photo crazed. Macie: *Realizing who it was that her cousin was referring to* I think that i know. Pidgetta: It’s okay though. It’s fine. I actually liked being told things like that. Knowing that someone related to me was getting… a better life. Macie: Better than some… I’d guess. Pidgetta: True. But sometimes… in life, things happen that aren’t always what you’d expect. But you come to learn that sometimes you take what you can get." Pidgetta: *Voice-over* Later that day... "[url]https://youtu.be/H1W2UddURXI[/url] [img]https://therhapsodyfamilyuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/macie-melody-the-rising-star-lightfoot-166.jpg[/img] Macie: *Smiles* It’s great to see you again and have you here, Pidgetta. I Emancipated from my biological parents. It was the saddest thing i had to do. But… I had started to make a life here in Metropolis by time i went back to my old hometown. It was mainly to say goodbye to everyone there. But then when Chloe, Tess, Genevieve stepped in via video-chat… to tell of how they’d help emancipate me from Bobby and Bobbie Lightfoot. It was like i was being put with a choice that i knew… had to be made and made right then. The D.A in this city had a good plausible angle to see it being done legally. It was the belief of Plausible Child neglect. It was solved and from it… i broke from them and Frank Holden… became my father. It was something that made a sad moment… a happy one again. It changed me. Pidgetta: It sure did. You’re not the usual meek and overly cautious girl that you usually came off being. You’re… Hell… Frickin’ hot. 15 and hot. That’s like turn a Lowlife scumbag that’d be out there in the nation capitol into a golden knight of virtue. We know that will never happen as that guy’s got more venom and corruption and subterfuge in him that could easily make 10 of him easily. But you… You went from oh. It’s just her… to “WHAT THE F—! SHE’S A TOTAL BABE!” Call it over glamorizing if you like. But in this day and age… No one goes from meek and shy to Courageous and Openly expressive in just… like a short period. However you did it… I… oh hell… I’m deeply moved. Proud… stunned and shocked… but moved just the same. Macie: Thank you." Pidgetta: That's what it was like. I once told Macie's Ex-Husband... this piece... back before she and the guy even got their wedding "I Do's". She stated it as such... [i]"I am attached to my cousin Macie. More than normal. Why that is… It’s because she’s the closest thing that reminds me of my mother. Loving. Caring. Peace and devoted. Wise. Losing Macie for any reason would kill me. I lost my mother the other month and around the end of last year… I lost my father to a heart attack. I don’t have parents of my own. I have nobody. Macie’s the closest thing to a mothering aura that i have. In a cousin. She’s innocent. Sincere. Wise and very intelligent in her unique way. So… Next time you happen to court with her… Remember that. Macie is deeply important to me. I can’t lose her. So you have to understand… that when you and her are together… Anything that happens to her… worries me. Because losing her would truly kill me. I can’t handle it."[/i] Pidgetta: All of that is still true to this day. Because for some reason... she embodies all that my mother had possessed. Everything. So... it was like i'd lose her again. Lisa: It's a real tear-jerker. It can come to turn your insides into goop. Corphish: Corphish... *Saddened* How would Donald react to all that? Would things become clearer now as they made their way closely to Caseyville? [/quote] "It's such a shame that blood isn't always thicker than water," Donald commented with nary a dry eye after hearing his biological family's history. "But I will do everything in my power to ensure the safe rescue of your cousin…Auntie Pidgetta," he finished with a doubling down on his intent to rescue his biological mother; emphasizing his respect for Macie's cousin.
