It is evident that humans should be made from the act of love, not science. However with cloning soon to be possible…

Gardner’s Halloween party, which Riley described as, “what will be the most amazing wingding since Charlie Gardner’s Christmas shindig,” which of course made Maya give Riley a stern talk about her avoidance of the word party while instead using it’s many synonyms. “Maya, Maya, Maya, my dear peaches…,” Riley drawls out, clicking her tounge in fake annoyance, “Sitting at home and watching Netflix is not a good life choice.” Maya grins at her innocent, very oblivious friend, “And partying is,…
