Generation 2 Part 1

Hey guys, welcome to the second generation! I'm really excited. So, if you remember from the last part, Lance was proclaimed the heir to the Tanner legacy, we let's see how life is treating him.  :-)

Hey all, my name is Lance. I am nervous and excited to be heir of my family legacy, but I guess we will see how I do. :-) 

Just a little about myself:

I am a:

Couch potatoe

Family-orientated

Good

Excitable

     and

Virtuoso

My lifetime wish is to be a Master of the Arts, which is perfect for me. I love painting just like my mother does and in high school I took a liking to playing the guitar. Whether or not I'm any good? Well, you would have to ask the family and see what they say. :-)

I often go to the park to play and hey, people seem to like me. Cool! :-)

 My family is definitely one hard working family. My mother finally fulfilled her lifetime wish of becoming CEO of her mega corporation and she flipped out in excitement. I almost didn't recognize her there for a second. I think she looks quite snazzy in her new uniform, and hey she puts them younger associates to shame, so yea my mom is beast.

So, you would not believe what happened to me yesturday! I was walking out of the bookstore when I ran into a celebrity! Like, for real, for real! So, after gawking at him for a while, I got up the nerve to talk to him. Turns out he is the owner of my mom's company. Talk about running into money. Driving home I realized that maybe, just maybe, that could be me one day; walking down the street and girls screaming my name, Lance! Lance! Lance! Well, it wasn't to bad a thought.

So, I am just painting in my room, and I think I will have to finish this painting quickly for the gallery. Mom, who, by the way, now has her own limo, went out to get some groceries. Not a bad set of wheels if I do say so myself. :-)

Later in the evening, dad was at it in the kitchen cooking up some dinner. I take a step back and look at the piece I have just finished as Gabby steps into my room.

"What do you think Gabby?"
"Could be worse," she sad with a snicker.
"Get out of here female!" I said as I shot her a look, trying not to laugh. As she turned to leave, we heard sounds.

thump....
ground shaking..........
eerie sound..........


"What was that, Lance?"
"I don't know, but something feels wrong.... Mom! Dad! Is everything ok?"

We run out into the hallway to meet on the the worst things that I would ever experience....

Two Weeks later...

It's definitely been a tough two weeks. All the calls and letters from family and friends have been appreciated, but it's been hard. Everyday dad drives out to visit mom, and today is no different.

I have been spending my time in the office, reminiscing on the past, and with my two best friends Mimi and Terrance.

I remember all the famous pieces that were produced on that easel.

The hardest one hit was definitely father. I would hear him at night crying and he wasn't talking much lately. Then there was Gabby, she spent a lot more time in her garden. The doctors say that would be very therapeutic for her and would help her coupe.

But, the most therapeutic thing was how she comforted us. No one could console dad like Gabby. Hmm... what a character my sister is. Can't even console herself, but can calm anyone in the family down. Man, I love her!

A year later...

Work has been a life saver. Dad hit the top of his career path in the education field, woot woot, and I went to city hall and registered the Micky D's. Yep, the Micky D's. The Micky D's will be the best band in all of Twinbrook, starring the brother and sister duet Lance and Gabby Tanner. Oh yea! *fist pump*

We grew closer with the loss of mom. We began to realize that time spent together was a lot more precious, especially time spent with dad.

As dad healed he went out on a quest to discover every spec of the galaxy and name it all after his family. I think a star is named after me. I think, or it could be some other forming thing up there.

Micky D's was definitely getting them lovely calls! We would practice long hours at the park or outside the theater to get more recognition and cash, of course.

We even began to have poparatzzi hang around and take pictures, cool!!


Then we would go to all the gigs we were getting calls for.

I will never forget the first paycheck we got! I know we are going to be somebody's. oh yea!

One thing mom always taught me, that I will never forget, was that since I had such a giving spirit, to always give back, no matter how successful in life I ever got. So, the after performances, I would donate some money to help orphans in the big cities have a good place to go, or to the Llama foundation, to the Tree Society or whatever else.

So, also in the past year, I've been working very hard in another department. :-) She is one of my best friends  who I have known her all my life, her name is Mimi. After I graduated from high school, I was sad to leave her behind. She was two years behind me which meant she was still a teen while I was now a young adult. But, patience is a virtue, right?

As soon as the sparkles happened and Mimi became a young adult, I knew now was the time. Mimi was a chocolate beauty! She was simple and real unlike other women that tried to get with me. She had been there for me after mom passed and was patient with me as I got better on the guitar.

So...

Yep, I'm good!

A year later...


After all the planning and late nights and long days, the wedding came together. After all that work, we decided to have a small wedding. I wish mom had been there to see it, but it was still a perfect day. I hope you enjoy the day!

The vows

And the kiss, hehe

Paaaaartay time!

Aww... she loves me! She really, really, really loves me!

Well, I don't know if you noticed the little house in the background, but that's the new in-laws suite. Boy, I love my father. He built it as a wedding gift to Mimi and myself, so that we could get the house for ourselves and start our own lives.

Then of course the best part of the day... hehe

Well, this is where we will need to part ways for a while. You know ;-)

The End!
