I am not so sure about that, Yes his Mother loved him but look at the lengths she went to control him. You can say it her trying to protect him but it was just all to controlling. It would take me a very long time to be able to forgive Jenny or Alan either one.

Yup already read this chapter yesterday.

Just discovered this story yesterday binged it and am now all caught up and wanting more. Great story @CLJobe

Hmm did no one else catch what I did? Hmm maybe I’ll hold my tongue for the time being lol. Great chapter Q

Glad to have found this. Strange I wasn’t notified as I have You followed @Wombat Bill. I just happened to check your stories page and noticed 2 chapters posted already. Looking forward to the new adventure. Q

I guess I lied I have a funky sleep schedule sometimes due to some health issues. So I am up before I thought I would be. This has been a grand adventure for the group which has expanded by 2 Amy and Robin. I’m glad Robin changed his tune a bit he realizes he’s not alone in his plight anymore. Even tho they both have been around for a long time Nicholaas the longest then Robin, I bet having Robin around will help Nicholaas out and maybe even have something different to teach even if Nicholaas is a master power user. Amy took things well, I guess that’s because she has skwish too even though she didn’t call it that her visions could come in very handy I am sure. I can’t wait to see how the 2 newcomers fit in with the rest in the next Charlie Boone & Co’s next adventure. Q

Oh no I am so sad…. I knew it was coming even though I didn’t want it to. This was a great chapter though. Caleb finally invited Lucas over. His mom is there hopefully to start/repair the relationship. Well I can say I am of 2 minds I am looking forward to the epilogue but yet I am not as that means it is truly over.

I am caught up now awaiting the 8:01 am chapter lol. I probably won’t get to read that tho unli like 8:01 pm busy day tomorrow and I am just going to bed lol. This has been an intriguing story thus far and I believe Robin will meet has match when he meets Nick not that they will fight I just mean he will see there is someone stronger in power use. He thinks or has never met anyone as strong as him power wise. How is it tho that he has lived 800 years and not had some inkling that there was another user out there…. Ahh yes a different world they like ve in that’s only connected forgive me I just thought that after typing lol. Ok maybe I’m to tired to be commenting lol. Q

Oh hey it’s Christmas and look a new Charlie Boone and company story. I am so excited I love Charlie and gang. Im late to the party but I will catch-up looking forward to how these new powers will come in to play. Thanks Geron Q

Serious yet humorous. It was a great chapter. Late again and the points were covered by others. I am a bit saddened that Alex didn’t check his VM but being a young teen as he is I can see the allure he was facing.

Great I have been waiting for another chapter with Francesco and James. I am sure the shopping trip had Francesco all out of his comfort zone but he seemed to handle it well. Hmm a thought just now popped into my head. Francesco would make a great waiter for Craig and Justin's catering business even possibly at the new resort Jonathon and Lachlan are opening. I wasn't allowed to do holiday crafts in school the religion I was brought up in didn't do holidays the only thing celebrated as I grew up was my parents Anniversary. I feel I missed out on a lot as a child. But I did get gifts and things year round. My sisters children however had all the decorations and such and most of them still find there way on to the tree. My sister is 20 years older then I am so was married the year I was born. So seeing the things gran had in the box brought back the memories of times I would spend with my sister and see those items my niece and nephew made being put on the tree or around the house. Caleb seems quite the young man/teen. Yes he is cheeky but he is also kind it seems. Hmm no teaser on the next chapter bummer. HEHE I like making assumptions. Q

Ok so most of our speculation of this chapter was off lol. Caleb’s disappointment stemmed from not being able to attend the party. Not the cookie company or Lucas. Jonathon’s announcement wasn’t a marriage proposal or a place for thrown away children but a posh resort. Which I do agree with Virgina Craig and Justin should be looking in to that as Justin mentioned in the last chapter he is bored of Poppy’s. I am wondering if perhaps the place will become more of a ay resort then a standard one but either way Justin’s way of serving would or could be welcoming. Justin was the elf I think that’s the only prediction that I made that was right. Another great chapter it was good to see everyone in the Price’s circle together again. Demond seems to be a bit homophobic tho with some of the comments he made. Q

I had to leave a HaHa emote on your comment a couple of your suggestions had me roflmao. A couple of them tho sounds like a great probability. I never even considered an issue with the C&G Cookie Company. It could be since I haven’t seen it discussed that they are facing legal issues because they didn’t go through the proper channels to distribute a food product. And your suggestion about Jonathon’s announcement has a ring of possibility as well, again not something I thought of. I really don’t want to know or think about this statement lol I eat out a lot or well did before the pandemic.

Oh boy lets talk about the teaser first... That all sounds exciting except for Caleb's disappointment. Hmm Cook and Carol at a party with Naughty Elf Justin I am assuming... And what big announcement does Jonathon have is he proposing? Okay again I know Raj's announcement threw Juanito for a loop. But here again we have someone not acting as an adult but wants to be treated as one... He doesn't have to take Raj back but they certainly do need to face the issue and talk. Some one liked the wine a bit too much 2 people actually LOL. I'm glad to see things have improved with Justin and Edward it seems what ever Tristan and Justin talked about and the situation with Justin clearing his guilt some by talking to Craig has helped ease his mind some and put it straight. Glad to Edward on the mend from his surgery. Okay @Wombat Bill Bring on the next chapter so we can see what those teasers are really about.

So Juanito is a Drag Queen but can't put together how Raj feels trapped in a mans body? Aside from the transformation which could really affect the relationship because Juanito is gay and a full transformation would remove the plumbing Juan would be looking for, shouldn't there be some type of understanding there? I know the way Raj went about it was kinda of wrong not talking things thru with his/her boyfriend but like he said it was a spur of the moment thing and he just felt free. I have never not knowingly anyway met anyone that has transformed or ever dealt with that topic nor have I ever dealt with a drag queen. Well aside from the time I tried drag to go out on Halloween I ended up changing last minute back into my regular clothing the main reason is my arms and legs are way to hairy and we didn't prepare well enough to bring clippers or hair removal cream. If I was going to do it I wanted to do it right. At that point in time I could have passed completely for a woman aside from the hairy arms and legs. I never did attempt that again. Its also possible that when Raj speaks with the mental professional that he could change his mind and not transform completely. Oh was it ever mentioned that Justin had a part in his fathers death? All I remember is Jared taking charge and having it done, well now we know why Justin is so upset over the book and that it could possibly open up the idea again that his father didn't take his own life as there was already suspicion that he didn't.

I knew Raj was hiding something in a previous chapter. I thought it was he was hiding being gay from his parents. it really is sad for someone that’s trapped in the wrong body to have to worry what their family is going to think well even for gays as well but I am assuming this worry is even greater. No one should have to do that with family it’s supposed to be unconditional love but we see it’s not so often. I’m glad Raj has his friends support and his mother doesn’t seem to overly upset just his father. Was glad to see at least there was 11 people to turn up at Edwards party even Craig was there. I think I would have been a bit upset if he wasn’t. Q

Great story. I can see this going further alas I see the Completed Tag.

Wow I was a little pissed off until the end of the chapter then I LMAO at it being a dream. I should have known, I don't think Craig would have been that happy with Justin. Caleb needs to dial back on his attitude a bit it sounds like, if its putting Lucas off. Its not bad being cool but if its over the top then no wonder he isn't getting anywhere. Q

@haines87 Agreed but as @Summerabbacat mentioned in a comments I too feel he had these skills before SAS and they in turn strengthened them. Perhaps the PTSD also changed and intensified the way his personality came thru. It was also a factor in his cause of death I feel as when Justin left after the rape he found this other person to go off with and who knows what was in his mind if they would have survived.

Okay so I mentioned it before about whether or not Craig knew about Justin and Jared. @Wombat Bill referred me back to another book but I forgot to go re-read it but this chapter summed that up Craig may have an inkling about it but Justin never came fully clean about it. I was thinking that could be part of his issue guilt and hating especially yourself can go hand in hand. He needs to firstly open up to Craig and then come to terms with Jared’s rape of him. Then perhaps he will be in the right mind to deal with Edward. Again I realize Ed made a mistake but there is no one alive that is perfect we all make mistakes. But there really is no reason for the way Justin over reacted to it except for the way Justin has been feeling about other things and he took it out on Edward. I mean look at the mistake Justin made and continued to make with Jared. We don’t know how Craig is gonna react to that but sure they may break up over it or they may work thru it however I don’t see such a big deal coming out of it as the Edward Justin thing. Another thing Justin needs to realize is that Jared was a master mind manipulator and in the end he was a victim. Q

I wholeheartedly agree with @Summerabbacat in regards to Francesco’s farewell, the picture scene left tears in my eyes. Was also feeling a bit sad for him as well when he stated he would miss the circus even tho he wasn’t treated as well as he should have been it’s all he knew for 17 almost 18 years. @chris191070 Yes, I am still not taking back anything I have said about Jack and Candy tho, Alex is still with them and may uncover other things well he is with them. @ReaderPaul I too will be looking forward to finding out about his trust fund. I’m wondering also if there was some kind of inheritance left in that fund from his parents they were apparently a part of the circus for quite awhile and didn’t have much need to spend much I would assume. My first thought about the call Justin makes in the teaser was he would be setting up an appointment to talk to a Psychologist or some one as Craig said it didn’t have to be a professional it could also be as you mentioned a call to Lucas’s family. Or even now that I have read summerabbacat’s comment him making some type of decision. I was late to the party again and the prior comments basically summed everything I was thinking up into a tidy package just a couple other things I added. Another mild chapter overall thanks @Wombat Bill Q

I totally agree Hannah does have a very quick wit at times and it shines thru in that statement. Just also wanted to add I have traveled a lot in my 45 years and visited many many hotels I have only ever encountered vibrating beds once. And let me just say it wasn't in a 2, 3 or 4 star or higher hotel. This was on a trip for a company I worked for at the time for training and they were very stingy with the accommodations I don't think this place could have even been considered a 1 star location it was so bad. More like a room someone would hire by the hour. Needless to say I didn't stay with this company very long as this wasn't the only issue with them.

Sucks that James got hurt on the last night Francesco was performing. But accidents do happen all the time. Great to see that Francesco is a free person now. Its time to see how he reacts to a normal life and they really should look into a busking permit for him so he still has the opportunity to perform for the local crowds where they will be living. Its also a possibility that their friend was it Ruby could find him something local or with minimal travel. I am thinking he won't be missing it too much at first tho as he will have a lot to learn about the normal world well what most consider normal anyway. Seems James enjoys performing for the public as well or appreciates the applause that he gets from it. Perhaps if they get that busking permit they can come up with a few different routines and perform them together out and about. Wonder if Jack has any surprises for them at this farewell lunch guess we will have to wait and see. Q

Am I miss thinking or wasn't it stated in a previous chapter it was a BMW? Still doesn't mean its a good car unless it was well taken care of. I could be thinking of a totally different story LOL.

Oh Puppy. At least things seem to be moving in the right direction he just needs to get back to his parents set things straight with Steven and move on. Its good he is getting more then they paid for the apartment that should surely help as long as he doesn't spiral out of control and waste it. Like his Mom said he may want another apartment or need something down the road. And what is up with the Riddle for Puppy and Steven? Steve is not even interested at this point it seems. Maybe some time away for them to sort their issues? who knows guess we need to wait and see. Q
