The Baudelaire's - Chapter 164

Avia's singing career didn't take off like she thought it would so most days she was at home practicing magic and just lounging around the house, every day she thought breaking up with Lucas and moving to Bridgeport was a huge mistake.

One evening she finally got a gig, she has been waiting for this moment since she moved to Bridgeport, she finally had a little inspiration to keep her going.

The days went by and she got more gigs, she was getting more popular but she couldn't wait to make it to the big stage.

Avia: "Is there a vampire copying my every move?!"

Avia: "I don't like vampires! I'm starting to think I'm not cut out for the city life!"

She would do about a dozen gigs a day, they were tiring but they weren't getting her anywhere so she would go home every evening and go to sleep, alone.

She became a regular at the bar across the street from her apartment.
Bartender: "You want the usual?"

Avia: "I think I want to try something different tonight, I'm feeling a little better than usual."

Oliver: "Drinks are on me, a pretty lady like this shouldn't have to pay for her own drinks."

After drinking a little more than they should have, Avia and Oliver went over to the dance floor.

Oliver: "So, you're into me and I'm into you, what do you think about going back to my place?"

Avia: "Excuse me? What kind of girl do you think I am?"

Oliver: "Well, I bought you drinks and by the way you were dancing I thought you were interested in me."
Avia: "No, no thank you."

After leaving the creep back at the bar Avia decided to go straight home, she didn't want any other guys getting the wrong impression.

The next morning there was an adorable cat walking around her front door.

Avia still doesn't know how she got in her apartment but she never really questioned that.

Avia: "Oh my gosh, where did the kitty come from?!"

Avia: "You got me a cat?! Yes, I finally have a cat!"

Dream: "Just move your hand a little closer, don't touch me though."

Dream: "I guess you're okay, I'll let you stay."

Avia was so happy to finally have someone to keep her company, she thought about adopting a dozen more!

Avia: "You love that birdy, don't you?"

Dream was perfect for Avia, she helped her out of her depression and gave her more hope for her career.

Things got so much better, Avia was moving up the ladder and doing better gigs!

Avia: "Oh, food delivery truck... why must you follow me. Oh, food delivery truck... you really creep me out."
That song ended up being a number one hit.

Everyone around town knew to call Avia if they needed a gig, she was finally making a name for herself.

Homeless Guy: "Oh goodness, you are so adorable!"

Things started to slow down after a few months, Avia wasn't sure why but she knew she needed more gigs to pay her bills, they weren't going to pay themself.

Some days everything that could go wrong, would go wrong.

Avia: "I always knew that elevator hated me."

Avia started questioning her career again, she wasn't sure things would work out and get better this time. The economy was bad and less people were asking for gigs, maybe it was time to give up this crazy dream and move back home?

Dream always made things better, even on the worst days.

Dream: "That's right, I'm a magic kitty."

Dream: "Is this thing dead or alive?"

It was rare to get a gig now, Avia was so excited when she would finally get a call.

Avia: "You like my crazy singing and dancing, you love it, you love it so now you pay me, right?"

Meanwhile back at home...

Avia: "Testing, testing... is this thing even on?"

Avia: "I don't think this thing is working."

Avia: "Wait... this is my first time on stage."

Avia: "This was my first big gig?! Maybe I will make it."

Dream: "Maybe she would make it, who knows, sometimes dreams do come true."
Wait... has a cat been narrating this whole story?!

The Baudelaire's - Chapter 163

Avia: "Mom? I need to talk to you about something."

Aubrey: "What is it, honey? Is it about Lucas? I know things have been hard since you two broke up, you can talk to me."

Avia: "No, no... it's not about Lucas, it's about my plans for the future."

Avia: "I know this might sound crazy but I've had a dream since I was a little girl, I want to move to Bridgeport after my birthday and become a singer! That's why Lucas and I broke up, I didn't think I could handle a long distance relationship and trying to achieve my dream."

Avia: "Is that a crazy idea? Are you okay with it? Please tell me you're okay with it."

Aubrey: "You're about to be an adult, you deserve to move out on your own and explore life and a career if you want to, nobody can hold you back from your dreams, I'm your mom and I want to keep you with me forever but I can see how much you want this."

Aubrey: "I love you, your brothers and sister but part of me wishes that I would have waited a little while and established a career before I had all of you."

Aubrey: "It's a small regret but I wouldn't change anything, I don't want you to have any regrets, if this is what you want to do then I say do it! I support you 100%"

Avia: "Thank you so much, Mom, you don't know how much this means to me!"

Who did this?!

It's time for prom, Avia looks beautiful in her dress!

Noelle: "I'm not wearing a dress, it's too cold out here for that!"

The Grim Reaper came for Tippy while the kids were gone to prom, I hate losing the pets!

Tippy Purr Baudelaire
December 7, 2012 - February 14, 2013

Ayla wasn't very happy about being alone with the Grim Reaper.

Grim Reaper: "Haha, I took another pet."
Ayla: "Maybe he will do more chores this time!"

Aubrey: "Derpy derp."
Grim Reaper: "Do you have a problem?"

Aubrey: "Noooo... but I have some pretty flowers for you."
Grim Reaper: "For ME? That is so sweet!"

No, just no, it's creepy.

Noelle: "I see mom has a crush on the Grim Reaper, is he our new dad?"

Good job.

Breyden: "I feel bad for my kids, they inherited too much from my side of the family."
Anything from your side of the family is too much.

Noelle: "Are you ready... ready to party?!"

Noelle turned out beautiful!

Now it's Avia's turn!

Avia: "This doesn't feel right!"

Noelle: "She's prettier than me, I lost the race for heir."
Avia: "Was there ever a competition?"

Avia Baudelaire, our heiress for generation 17!

Avia didn't waste any time packing after her birthday, she was ready to move to Bridgeport to get started on her singing career!

But first she had to do a little magic.

Avia: "That's right, nobody mess with me... I'm magic!"

Avia was loving her new life in Bridgeport but would she succeed or fail?

Avia: "I guess it's time to go out in the big city and find a way to become a singer."
