Mel is starting to see that Lindsey isn't it for her anymore. With Daphne in the mix, Lindsey won't win, as Daphne will fight for her best friend and the new ones she just got, Mel and Zee. Not to mention Faal who sees her very clearly.

Heh, I feel like I'm watching a game of 'How many people can put Lindsay in her place?'
*sigh* The anniversary party thing again. This is one thing I'm not sure I can ever really get past, for a few reasons. First, I don't understand how no one even wondered why Brian did it. He was never a violent person, and especially with it being Michael. How did that strike none of them as odd? But then there's the fact Brian let it go so easily with Michael, and he even initiated the apology. That's never sat well with me, either. If you ever get the inclination to rewrite everything that happened after that punch... LOL.
I'm still really confused as to why Lindz is going along with Michael, to be honest. She sees how angry both Brian and Faal are with him, and they're the only ones she'd really care about, so I'm just not really clear on her motivation. I'd think she'd at least not make it so obvious, as it would run contrary to her goals of landing one of those two guys and gaining the financial comfort she wants.

Lindsay is cooking and cleaning. That's just too funny. No wonder they were hungry. She is going to be extremely annoying once they move back.

I love how they all rally around each other and support each other all the time.
I can't wait to see how Lindsay thinks she can outsmart everyone else and that of course, she is just the only one (besides Michael) who is right!

When family love they love to the end of the earth and Mel is finally learning that.
Hope you stay with me at least till the Christmas chapter because that one is fierce!

Well, next monkey with the long tail is on the chopping block!! Lindz sure got her ass handed to her this chapter and I, for one, couldn't have been happier! LMAO! I loved Mel's comebacks after Ms. McFool's meltdown. If Mel had stayed another few moments, I'm sure that Lindsay's performance would have rivaled Linda Blair's in "The Exorcist." A fist doused in Holy water anyone??
I really felt for Mel. She really has allowed herself to be emotionally abused by Lindsay and all for the sake of 'love.' Unfortunately that is a common issue within many relationships and systematically destroys a person's sense of self and their self-worth. I really think that Faal's words and the family's support couldn't have come at a better time for Mel. She's moving back to where she and Lindsay began. Sometimes two steps backward is required to dump the dead weight and spring forward. Looks like Mel is gearing up to do just that!!
Daph...WHOO_WEE I LOVE her!! Not only is she straightforward when she has to be but she can be as sneaky as Michael and Lindsay when neccessary. And it was definitely needed here! I loved that she sung like the know-it-all canary and revealed Lindsay's alliance with Michael. Her attention to remembering exactly what was said was worth its weight in gold to not only Mel but the group as a whole. Tucker is right to let the Shit-for-Brains Brigade to continue in their plans. Not only will it be fun to watch them burn out, but it will also allow them to react to Michael and Lindsay's machinations without it seeming to be unjustified. This way when the Dumbasstic Duo are frozen out, there won't be a question why they are.
Soooo can't wait for the next chapter!
Happy Writing and HUGS,

Nichelle,
I did have a bit of a time writing the comfort scene for Mel, emotionally abusive relationships can be more damaging that physical ones because you don't see the bruises, but she's coming out of there tougher and with the family wind beneath her wings.
Ah Daph, everyone underestimates her steeliness because she looks so cute and sweet...so very wrong.
Hope you enjoy the rest.
Hugs
Nicole

Love how Vince is becoming another member of the family. I can't get over how Lindz acted, she did nothing but bitch. Well at least Mel explained it all to her, though she didn't seem to believe her. Sticking her nose up at the food! She's lucky they feed her. Then she has the nerve to call Michael, at least Daphne heard it all. And now Mel knows. Surely everyone will be able to spike any plans the two have. :p Love how Faal manipulated her into making breakfast and lunch. I can see why everyone needed to go to the diner after it. Love Carl for pointing out that the kids had done the dishes yesterday. Love how Drew was not afraid to tell Daphne what Michael had said. I still think Lindsay should be told, though she'll probably try to excuse Michael and even agree with him. horrors! Tuckers plan to let them play out their little devious plot sounds sensible. Was Deb being sarcastic when she said Michael reacted in a calm in rational way when he bumped into David in Shadyside? Ted's been doing some thinking I see and is seeming to relate portions of his past to what is going on. At least he straightened his life out. Mel and Daphne are like two sisters and it's wonderful to see. Daphne can help Mel learn to enjoy living again. Shopping! Let's not forget catnip massage oil and honey dust. I learned about honey dust from NCIS. It was wonderful that everyone gave Daphne the coat that she wanted. She's a true friend, plus nobody would know what Lindsay was up to if not for her. A truly amazing and enjoyable chapter.

Ah yes our man mountain that is Vince, shall I make him a love interest for Daph, I'm not sure but I think they will make great friends.
Debs was definitely being sarcastic when she said Michael reacted calmly.
Yep, I got honey dust from NCIS too!
Hope you enjoy the rest.

I don't even mind waiting for the Christmas chapter cause everything that happened after Michael was dropped off was hilarious.
I just love that Faal is mocking Lindsay and all she sees is that he is flirting with her (Delusional Much? Not All Men Want to Hit That), having her prepare breakfast and everyone messing with her was too funny.
So now Lindsay has three women gunning for her Ass and she can't run fast enough to get away from them.
I would almost feel sorry for Michael and Lindsay because Daphne knows what they have done and she is beyond pissed, but it is going to be too much fun to witness their abject humiliation.
Lindsay is still under the belief she can take on Zee I can't wait for that bubble to burst in her face along with Zee's first. (If she can't handle Jennifer and Daphne then she is no match for Zee lol)
I agree with Tucker just sit back and let those two act out their plans cause they can't keep a secret for long and it always backfires in their faces.
The gift of the coat to Daphne was so sweet of course there is no way she is missing all the fun at Christmas.
Each Chapter is just a Wonderful Gift to open :)

BlueMyst,
Thanks so much. I think I am enjoying writing this one more because I have two idiots to marmalise and Daph is in it too.
Happy reading.
