OwO good point, that is definitely a scary thought.

Hmm a summer fireworks festival sounds nice (^w^)/ maybe she offers to take Garret and Sasha? We could say that during the time skip they became good friends. Garret would love visiting the puppies and watching them grow up but since he's not the bravest person out there, he'd always invite Sasha to come along. Maybe she's related to Ami or Devon and one of their parents end up asking her to bring the kids too so she has to bring all four together? I don't really know OTL xD any other ideas?

And yush :3 she'll defo try to help our kiddies out. She can even introduce them to other NPCs along the way and alrighty then, so we get to keep Devie with everyone till Junior year. Tons of time for happy, dramatic, fun moments <3
