Great start to the new story of Ark II as they travel from the earth to find a new planet to colonize and make it their new home. The main characters Joel and Sara Beth are so great together.

The young prince seems to think that as long as he demands someone to do his bidding they’ll do it and not say anything. I think he’s met his match as Terras won’t be his servant no matter how mad he gets. He even told his own son that he had to sleep in the underground shed he had built him and to make sure that he covered it with the tarps to keep the sun out so he would be safe. I hope the prince learns something from all of this that he’s going through right now.

That was quite a surprise for Zack to see that his bunk mate on the STS Leeuwin the tall sailing ship has been working on a Sunreef Catamaran for the last two years and says he’s almost finished with it. This might give Zack the push he needs to get back with Eric and see if the trimaran is still available for sale and if so could they come up with a plan to buy it with out the secrecy that was there before which is what upset Zack about the whole situation. I’m glad that he’s getting to spend a second week as a volunteer crew on the STS Leeuwin and he’s getting to see another part of the country he’s never seen before by spending the night at Jordan’s family’s cattle station.

I think it’s great that Will has given the funds to the group that was turned down by the board for a grant even though they are the type of group that they give the money to all the time. Now all of a sudden this group gets turned down and one of the members of the group gets to Will and at first is a real pain in the rear for him which he couldn’t understand. He finally got a chance to talk to him about his attitude towards him and he found out that it really wasn’t him but his family foundation that was the issue, the group that he’s with submitted an application for a grant and it was turned down right away. Then there’s the issue with John and his wanting to go join a band which,Claire and Jack don’t want him doing so there’s a big fight there although it may be coming to the end and a decision made very soon that he will like. Now Will gets a letter from his dad saying how sorry he is for going to Claire and Jack about his ecstasy use even though he was trying to get his own problem figured out, so as an apology he transferred complete control of some of the trusts that he had of his to him as a sign of good faith. He said that Jake had helped him see a lot of his errors in the way he tried to use his control of the money as a way of controlling him only it was driving them further apart. A lot of action in this chapter and it all worked out for some of the people involved and there’s plans for more research on other issues that have come to the light which could lead to a change to the foundation staff depending on what they find out about certain things. Great chapter as always and great story too.

Kevin has it bad for Rory so much so that he’s looking for any little bit of time to get to spend with him. He even turned down his friend Kyle to spend some time at his house for awhile but he didn’t want to get in the way of Jason and Kyle spending time hanging out while Kyle planned his date with Gabe. It’s great to be young and in love the only thing that they have to do is work around the parents in order to get to spend extra time with each other doing whatever they want to do as long as they don’t get hurt or burn down the house they should be fine. Great chapter, great to see to boys happy with each other.

Zach goes from being a fish processor each summer to being a deckhand on a fishing boat after talking to his boss about it after being given the message that he wanted to talk to him about a new job. On the way to talk to his boss while taking a walk past the dry storage yard where he saw a catamaran that was in need of repair and was for sale, after talking to Eric his boss he asked about the catamaran and he was told that it belonged to a retired fisherman who never got around to restoring it and now he wasn’t able to do it. Zach said he was just curious about it as he wasn’t sure if he would be able to afford to buy it with what he had in his savings account right now. Great start to the new story can’t wait to see the next chapter.

As much drama as there is at times at the family dinners the one thing that stands out for me is the fact that in their own ways they all really do love each other as they should being family. I’m glad that Jake made the deal with Will that he did and decided not to return to the army just to right the dishonorable discharge he got when they found out he was gay. Who knows what would’ve happened to him had he gone for the deal they were offering him. I don’t understand why Jack and Claire are so set on controlling their children’s lives the way they are, it’s like they’re not allowed to make mistakes and then learn from them. I mean isn’t that what being a child is all about is when you make a mistake you learn from that mistake so that hopefully you don’t make the same one again. The way that they’re going at it is that you have to be perfect all the time and you aren’t allowed to make mistakes at all. It seems like that’s the way they’ve been doing things all along for Marie and John, now that John’s rebelling they don’t like it.

Ewan Torres may have had plans to get even with the Crown Prince and his family but his plans backfired on him when he was found out that he wasn’t really who he said he was. In the end he was charged with attempting to harm a protected person (the crown prince) and sentenced to 12 years in isolation in prison then sent back to earth and a permanent ban on travel to any URP planets. I’m glad that they were able to find his weapons and use his own plans against him in his trial, my only complaint is that the ones who helped him get away with it and can possibly do it again. Thanks for the great story and I hope to see another saga of the story again sometime.

Fantastic chapter. I’m glad that the Crown Prince didn’t get to speak to his uncle the Emperor in the way he was intending otherwise he might’ve gotten himself into some serious hot water. Then once they reach the home world he and his mother are called to a meeting with the Emperor and are informed of plans to expand the SRTA as well as the continuing expansion of the European Space Port. The Crown Prince was worried about the delay in the construction that was supposed to happen on Mars and also the new home base of Deimos. His uncle informed him that the delay would be no more than one earth year and he was sure he could calm everyone down enough to see that the delay was going to be in their favor. Next is the wedding day and we’ll see how that goes and what changes afterwards.

Great chapter. At least they caught the man responsible for the balls with the help of Bouncer. Essell needs to learn that Bouncer is more than capable of taking care of himself especially with his claws and teeth. Garjah is upset with Essell because he came running after them when he should’ve stayed with Ases instead of putting himself in harms way.

Robbie and Don are getting to the point where they’re going to have to go separate ways before Robbie gets hurt because Don can’t control him like he does his own three children. Don just proved that he doesn’t trust Robbie to do anything with anyone after he and Daniel met Rory at the harbour and he gave Rory a hug as he always does. Don had a fit over it and told him to not embarrass him today. This only enraged Robbie to the point that they were both yelling and screaming at each other. Robbie really has an issue with his anger and needs to get some help for it although while he’s living under Don’s rules he’s not going to be able to get a hold on his anger issues at all due to the fact that Don wants to control him every step of the way he can including who his friends are and he’s not allowed to be around Nathan at all even though they’re back together again as a couple. I’m worried that the pastor has ulterior motives for his trying to help Robbie. We’ll see if he gets Robbie out of being grounded or not.

Great start to the story and the continuing adventures of the Sahndrol people. They shouldn’t have to provide newer technology to the ESA as long as the people on earth continue to fight with each other and start wars against each other they aren’t going to get anything new from Sahndrol. Now a craft has crashed onto the surface of the moon and the senior official is off planet so it’s up to the prince to find out who was on the craft and what their purpose is for being there is. I agree with Chris in that it looks a great deal like trouble is on the way.

I to think that Bouncer will lead Garjah to whoever sent the balls into the area of the reception for the ambassador. Since the security officer informed Garjah that he was able to track down where the balls came from and that the footage in the area was corrupted so they weren’t able to see who sent the balls. Bouncer went over and sniffed the one ball near Garjah sneezed and then started heading towards the area where the balls came from. Garjah told his security teams that they were to keep their guns holstered so they don’t shoot Bouncer.

It’s nice to see that so far everyone has been nice to David as he makes his way through his journey going back through the places where he had stayed at or was held at after his escape from the concentration camp in order to get to Denmark to find his mother. It’s been 12 years since he made his journey now he’s doing it so he can put it behind him once and for all.

I’ll have to find the book your talking about and read it. I will say that this was a new way to start a story for you.

Thank you for your the latest chapter in the North meets South story. I’m glad that Mitch’s grandmother spoke up and told Tony not to hide his illness from everyone just because he doesn’t know what the outcome is going to be. Having cancer in the throat is going to be hard for him and Mitch to get through but I know that Mitch will be by his side every step of the way. I’m glad that Tony spoke up and told the ones around the table that he has cancer in his throat.

Excellent chapter,I’m sad that this is the end of the CDMX story but I know that we’ll see CJ, Owen and Liebe again. I’m glad that there was no injuries to CJ, Liebe or Lincoln when they went to get her back from Elpido who had kidnapped her because he needed money for a supposed cure for his mother’s cancer, although at the time CJ, Owen and everyone else had no idea what was wrong with her other than she was very sick. The police made a big mistake and it almost cost CJ, Liebe and Lincoln their lives, luckily CJ was quick enough to get ahold of the gun and in the process of wrestling with Elpido the gun went off and Elpido was shot and killed. CJ sent Liebe and Owen to Miami with his dads to be with his grandparents while he stayed in Mexico to find out what his fate was going to be after his blow up during the meeting when he got the message about Liebe being kidnapped, he used foul language and told Northman he quit. When he met with the ambassador he explained what the situation was and his reasoning for his actions, she told him he was on leave and then he was to report to Foggy Bottom when he returned to Washington, she also said she hated to lose him but she understood that he had to do what he felt was best for his family. I can’t wait to see what the next story is going to be like and how it fits with the others that you have already written.

Short chapter to begin with but it was a good one to read. It was a sad job for the young man to have to bury the farm dog who died from kidney failure. Looking forward to the next chapter.

The bad thing about the fact that Brad was using meth is that he was doing it to forget about the pain and sadness he was feeling for Jake. My youngest sister is addicted to meth and is also an alcoholic, I’ve seen the damage the drugs and alcohol can do to a person it’s not nice. The body goes through some serious damage and you become addicted to it and it just destroys your body and your brain more and more over time. I’ve seen people who are addicted to meth, heroin and cocaine and they smoke weed as well after awhile they look like a walking skeleton because of the drugs. I tried weed when I was a teenager and I didn’t like it and haven’t touched it since although I have friends and family that smoke it and it doesn’t seem to bother them at all. I just don’t like drugs period, I guess it’s because I have had to take care of my son with his medical issues that I felt it was best to have a clear head at all times. I’m glad that Will stepped up and got Stef and Grand as well as Jake there so the issues could be brought out and then maybe they could try to work them out, it looks like they need to have counseling to help them with their issues and hopefully they’ll get them soon before Jake leaves for the year on his new job in Mexico.

This was a hard chapter to read and I’m sure it was equally hard for you to write it due to the emotions that you put into it. They fit with what was going on in the chapter and they conveyed it very well. I have to say that Andrew and Ryan are two of the best people I’ve ever read about, the fact that they could have taken Jamie Jr and Fiona and said that they weren’t going to allow anyone to see them or anything else, but they told Nicky’s mom that they would always be welcome to come to Cape Town to visit the children because all four of them are their grandchildren. They said they didn’t know if they would get to Hong Kong to bring them to see them but you never know if they’ll go that way or not. Nicky and Beth were both special people to Andrew and Ryan even though Beth was the biological mother of the children they all knew that Nicky was just as much of a mother in their lives as Beth was. I’m glad that Dan and Joan were close and were able to come to Scotland before the funeral and then they were going to take the family back to Cape Town before they head back to the United States themselves.

I’m glad that the boys got to have their adventure together camping and biking around just having fun with each other’s company. I think it was good for the brothers to be together when Jake passed, at least they had been able to get the legal things done so that Palden could stay with them and not be separated from the family. Palden is going to be going to Bhutan with the family for the first time, it’s going to be an interesting experience for him that’s for sure. I would have been interested to see what happens with the situation surrounding the school and the bullies.

Great chapter, l’m loving the way that Devon, Colin and the others are getting along so well with the puppies especially Dan D who is claimed by Devon and Colin, Hiccup is chosen by Mark and Stan while Shelly has chosen the first one born named Scout and is a female and is apparently living up to her name even though she doesn’t have her eyes open yet since they’re only three days old. I’m glad that Yuri and Zoya are doing well with the treatment and will get the disk inserted in the next few days. I hope that the meeting with the intelligence agent and two of his assistants goes as well as they’re hoping it does.

It seems that Jake has a lot of things to think about now that he’s been enlightened about what the motives might be for the CIA to come calling him and offering him a way to get his dishonorable discharge removed from his records. All he has to do is go to Mexico for a year and spy on the cartels and report that information back to the CIA, only he failed to think about the fact that he might be being set up in order to get at Brad and his family

Will does need to help his dad because he’s spiraling out of control, hooking up with some guy and doing crystal meth and then having sex with a condom and it breaking doesn’t go well. I’m glad that Will told him that he’s going to get tested tomorrow morning, and I think it should be first thing. As far as the issue of the divorce from Jake I think Will needs to talk to him about it and see if he’ll talk to him about it or not. Something is going on with Brad and it keeps affecting his relationships because they don’t seem to last.

I think the school is going to have a hard time explaining why they allowed these three bullies back in which caused 20% of their senior class students to withdraw in protest. I’m glad that Dechen is going to stay in Bhutan at least for now due to the bullies being allowed back in the school. I can’t believe they got a light sentence either. At least he’s attending the school he used to go to before he went to Australia so he has his friends there.
