CC is at a house. It is her aunt’s place. The house is purple and green and really big … it’s a mansion! It has a home movie theater, a swimming pool, and a gymnastics facility. The house has two dogs, two cats, and two little fish. It has three bedrooms.
CC wants some money because she ran out of money to pay for the house. CC started working at a Jamaican restaurant. The restaurant’s name is 3 Little Birds, from the Bob Marley song. They serve chicken, brown rice, yams, white rice, broccoli and carrots, and to drink, lemonade, strawberry lemonade, Sprite, ginger ale, and water.
She doesn’t have a husband. It’s a problem because she wants to have kids. Her future husband comes into the restaurant. His name is Jack. He has a blue hat, red shirt, green shorts and purple shoes. He is nice to her. He brings her flowers. He brought her roses. She feels great because she likes roses.
On the first day they met, he brought her flowers and ordered his meal. They went to Chick-fil-A. They liked each other because she likes cats and he has a cat.
After ten days they get married. Later they had 500 kids. The first three kids were named Ruby, Tandrew and Games, because Jack really likes games.
