I sat down with Mum and the youngest girls to talk about the future of the house today. I was a bit nervous, but Mum assured me that my sisters would support any decision I made as head of the family.

Dad had to go to work, but I know he’ll go along with whatever I decide. If not, Mum will whip him into shape soon enough. As Apple Blossom is graduating and moving out very soon, I knew whatever decision I made wouldn’t be affecting her.

Watermelon, Hibiscus and Sweet Pea surprised me. They were thrilled about the prospect of Gala moving in and even asked me how long it would be before I plucked up the guts to ask her to marry me!

"You realise Gala moving in would mean we’d have to go through some pretty exhausting renovations?"

"Oh, we’re counting on it!" said Watermelon. "We’ve been wanting a new room since we became teens!"
