Episode 31

That night, the girls are out on the back patio of Casey's holiday house in Surfers Paradise talking about the good times.
Casey: Remember my last day at Summer Bay High?
Tiegan: How could I forget that? Fisher kept giving the whole class detention.
Casey: Every time I tried to plead my case.
Stephanie: That was so funny. Not that Casey was getting in trouble, but Mr Fisher going off.
Tiegan: I know.
*the girls laugh*
Casey: What do you think of Dad's holiday house?
Stephanie: I think it's a very spacious house.
*Nivea, who is swimming in the pool, waves at them*
Nivea: Come join me for a swim!
Stephanie: Count me in!
Casey: I'm going to have some friends over tomorrow.
Tiegan: You have friends in Surfers?
Casey: Yeah. I met them like three weeks ago.
Nivea: What are their names?
Casey: You'll find out when you meet them.
Stephanie: Who cares about that now? Let's swim!
*the girls jump into the pool*
(Meanwhile, Ian is talking to Melissa at the motel.)
Ian: Love, I've been doing some thinking and how would you like to stay with me and Pippa?
Melissa: You actually want me to stay over at your house?
Ian: Yes, I do. I think it's a good way to mend our relationship.
Melissa: You always did have some good ideas, Dad.
Ian: So, what do you say?
*Melissa looks thoughtful for a minute before she smiles*
Melissa: I'll stay.
Ian: That's great news, love.
*Melissa hugs Ian*
Melissa: We can go now if you want.
Ian: Okay.
*After paying at the front counter, Melissa and Ian arrive at the house where they find Pippa on the phone*
Pippa: Thanks for your help. Okay, bye. *hangs up the phone*
Ian: Pip, Melissa's going to be staying with us.
Pippa: That's wonderful. The more the merrier.
Melissa: I'll just unpack. Where am I sleeping?
Pippa: The spare room, second door on the left.
Melissa: Thank you, Pippa. *heads upstairs*
Ian: Who was that on the phone?
Pippa: That was Leanne.
Ian: Is she sending another foster child?
Pippa: No. I'm going to find Jeremy's long-lost brothers.
*Ian looks shocked*
Ian: Are you serious?
Pippa: Jeremy and I had a little chat this afternoon and he wants to be reunited with his siblings.
Ian: But his younger sister lives up the north coast.
Pippa: Leanne is going to contact her foster parents to see if they can arrange a meeting with Jeremy and her.
Ian: I hope it all works out for him.
Pippa: Me too, sweetheart.
*Pippa and Ian embrace*

At Casey's holiday house the next morning (Monday), the girls are in the kitchen when there is a loud knock at the front door.
Phyllis Chen: Casey!
Casey: Come in, Phyllis.
*Phyllis walks in with five other people*
Casey: Guys, I'd like you all to meet Stephanie and Nivea Mboto as well as Tiegan Brook.
Stephanie: Hi.
Casey: Girls, I would like you to meet my Gold Coast friends Phyllis Chen, Nathan Cuellar, Kimberly Rogers, Amber Owens, Aidan Reweti and Simon Ngawhika.
Nivea: Hey.
Tiegan: What's up?
Amber: Nothing much.
Stephanie: How did you all meet Casey?
Kimberly: We met on Cavill Avenue.
Stephanie: Awesome.
Nathan: Any of you girls like basketball?
Nivea: I do.
Nathan: Can you play?
Nivea: Yes.
Nathan: I think you and I will get along really well. *smiles*
*Nivea smiles back*
Simon: I'm Simon and this is my cuzzie Aidan.
Aidan: Hey girls.
Tiegan: What are we doing today, Case?
Casey: We're going into Surfers. It's going to be a great day.
Phyllis: It sure will.
Stephanie: Is there a Timezone or any other arcade place?
Kimberly: There's a Timezone at the mall. It's a real big one too.
Stephanie: Cool!
Nivea: *to Nathan* You want to shoot some hoops later?
Nathan: I would like that. *smiles*
Nivea: Great. *smiles back*
Casey: Ready to go?
Everyone: Yeah.
Casey: Then let's go.
*everyone leaves*
(Meanwhile, Pippa is over at Roxy's house having coffee.)
Roxy: You're actually looking for Jeremy's blood siblings?
Pippa: Yes. I think that Jeremy should go back and reconnect with them.
Roxy: I'm actually glad you came over. I was starting to get bored.
Pippa: So, why did you move here?
Roxy: I told you that I'm going to be the principal at Carrington Ranges High.
Pippa: Right.
Roxy: So, who's this Madge Bishop that's coming to stay?
Pippa: She's an old friend of Mum's. I looked up to her as a surrogate aunty.
Roxy: When was the last time you saw her?
Pippa: 10 years ago.
Roxy: That long, huh?
Pippa: Still, we had the occasional phone call. It's not as if we lost contact with each other.
*Roxy looks upset*
Pippa: Roxy, is something wrong?
Roxy: There's another reason why I left Greece.
Pippa: How come?
Roxy: To escape my violent ex-boyfriend.
Pippa: Oh no.
Roxy: It was awful. He used to hit me and would call me the most horrible names. The minute I saw an opening to leave, I took it.
Pippa: I'm sorry you had to go through that.
Roxy: Me too.
*Pippa hugs Roxy, who starts to cry*

Episode 32

Stephanie, Tiegan and Nivea are chilling with Casey and their friends in Surfers Paradise.
Stephanie: This is such a beautiful place.
Nivea: I couldn't agree with you more.
Tiegan: The beach looks awesome!
Casey: It sure is.
*Phyllis lights up a smoke*
Phyllis: You girls smoke?
Stephanie: No.
Nivea: No way!
Tiegan: I do sometimes when I'm really stressed.
Kimberly: Smoking is so bad for your health, Phyllis!
Phyllis: I really don't care, Kim. *laughs*
Amber: *to Stephanie, Tiegan and Nivea* Phyllis moved here three years ago.
Phyllis: I still miss Sydney though.
Stephanie: Tiegan and I used to live in the city!
Phyllis: Cool.
Aidan: Who wants to swim?
Nathan: I do, man.
Simon: Same bro.
Casey: I'm just going to get a suntan. *laughs*
Stephanie: Count me in.
*The boys race into the water as the girls sunbathe on the beach*
(Back at the Carrington Ranges, Cherie notices that something is bothering Jeremy and tries getting him to open up.)
Cherie: Are you okay?
Jeremy: Not really, Cherie.
Cherie: What's wrong?
Jeremy: I just want to reconnect with my older brothers and younger sister. *starts to get teary*
Cherie: Come here, Jeremy.
*Jeremy and Cherie hug*
Jeremy: I just want my siblings back together.
Cherie: I know.
Jeremy: But if I ever find them, I would have to leave you.
Cherie: As sad as that would be, we can still contact each other.
Jeremy: I know.
*Cherie and Jeremy look at each other and then smile*
(After the beach, Stephanie, Tiegan, Casey and Phyllis decide to chill out at Paradise Shopping Centre.)
Tiegan: This is so cool!
Phyllis: I know. I literally come here every day.
Stephanie: Doesn't it get boring?
Phyllis: Not really.
Casey: Where did Nivea and Nathan go?
Stephanie: They decided to go to the basketball court.
Casey: Who knew your half-sister knew how to play basketball?
*Stephanie laughs*
Tiegan: Do you want to get the gang together tomorrow and we can go to Timezone?
Casey: Sounds good.
Phyllis: Girls, I'm going to Woolworths. I need another pack of smokes.
Casey: Go ahead.
*Phyllis leaves*
Casey: Ugh. Get lost while you're in the shop.
Stephanie: Casey?
Casey: Phyllis does my head in. Just don't say anything, girls.
Tiegan: Why does she do your head in?
Casey: She always goes on about her friends and how much she hates her mother. She also smokes pot.
Stephanie: Wow!
Casey: And she brags about it on the bus or whenever we're with our friends. It's annoying!
Tiegan: You don't say.
*A few seconds later, Phyllis returns*
Phyllis: Got my smokes. What do you girls want to do now?
Casey: Eat.
Phyllis: Good plan.
*Stephanie and Tiegan look at each other, trying not to laugh*

That afternoon, Pippa is in the kitchen when she hears the front door knock.
Pippa: Ian, would you get that please?
*Ian comes downstairs and opens the door to find Madge Bishop standing there*
Ian: Hello, you must be Madge Bishop.
Madge: That's right, love.
*Pippa sees Madge*
Pippa: Madge, it's so great to see you!
Madge: Pippa Fletcher, come here. It's been too long, love.
*Pippa and Madge hug*
Pippa: It's been nearly ten years since we last saw each other.
Madge: Harold sends his love. *to Ian* And you must be...
Ian: Ian Routledge.
Madge: It's great to meet you, love.
Ian: Likewise.
Madge: Where will I be sleeping, Pippa?
Pippa: You'll be sleeping in Stephanie and Tiegan's room upstairs. They've gone up to Surfers Paradise for Christmas.
Madge: I did get presents for them.
Pippa: Madge, you shouldn't have.
Madge: Oh, don't be silly. As my old friend Helen Daniels once said, "It's not about the gifts, it's the thought that counts."
*Pippa smiles*
Madge: I'm just going to have a lie down. That coach ride took forever. Call me when dinner's ready.
Pippa: Okay, Madge.
*Madge goes upstairs with her suitcases*
Ian: She's a sweet lady.
Pippa: Just don't get on her bad side. She's got a temper on her.
Ian: I won't.
*Pippa and Ian kiss*
(Later, Nivea and Stephanie are talking at Casey's holiday house.)
Stephanie: So, how was basketball?
Nivea: Nathan and I had a great time.
Stephanie: That's good.
Nivea: I think he likes me.
Stephanie: Really?
Nivea: Yeah.
Stephanie: Do you like him?
Nivea: He is so cute.
Stephanie: I think you should ask him out.
Nivea: I think that's a great idea.
*Stephanie smiles at her half-sister*
(*Meanwhile, Phyllis is talking on her mobile to someone*)
Phyllis: LOOK! I don't have the money now. Yes, I will give it to you! I just need a little more time! *hangs up the phone as Tiegan comes out*
Tiegan: Are you okay?
Phyllis: *lying* It was just people that like to prank others.
Tiegan: Come here.
*A worried Phyllis hugs Tiegan*

Episode 33

The following morning (Tuesday), Madge is making breakfast for the family.
Pippa: Madge, you shouldn't have.
Madge: Now, Pippa. I want you to put your feet up during my stay here. I'm going to prepare the meals for you and your family.
Ian: This is very nice of you, Madge.
Madge: I hope you like scrambled eggs with toast.
Ian: My favourite.
*Jeremy, Matthew and Cherie come downstairs*
Cherie: Smells good.
Madge: Eat up, kids.
Jeremy: This looks delicious.
Pippa: Say thank you to Mrs Bishop.
Matthew/Jeremy/Cherie: Thank you, Mrs Bishop.
Madge: You're most welcome. Please do call me Aunty Madge.
Matthew: Are you sure?
Madge: I know we're not blood related, but Pippa is like my surrogate niece and I already class you kids as family.
Cherie: That's nice.
Jeremy: We love you too, Aunty Madge.
Madge: Where's your daughter, Ian?
Ian: Melissa left early this morning to see her boyfriend over in Maitland. She'll be back later today.
Madge: Fair enough. *smiles*
*After breakfast, Madge is getting her handbag*
Madge: Pippa, I'm just going to nick to the supermarket. I need some canola oil.
Pippa: The bus stop is not that far.
Madge: Who says I'm getting the bus? I'm going to walk there.
Pippa: Always active. *smiles*
Madge: I'll be back soon, love. *leaves the house*
(Outside the 5-Star Supermarket, Tiffany is smoking weed when she sees Madge walk over.)
Tiffany: Well, who let Priscilla Queen of the Desert back into society?!
Madge: I'd watch my mouth if I was you, girl!
*Tiffany scoffs angrily*
Madge: Some of you kids have no manners anymore! *enters the store*
Tiffany: Dried up old fossil!
*Tiffany follows her into the supermarket*
Tiffany: OI! You got a problem with me, you dumb bitch?! *pushes Madge*
*Madge turns around and slaps Tiffany across the face!*
Madge: You have some nerve pushing me around, you vile creature! Who do you think you are pushing an elderly woman?!
Tiffany: Or maybe you're a man that dresses up in women's clothing!
Madge: YOU SHUT UP!
Tiffany: Did I strike a raw nerve there? *smirks*
*A female employee rushes over*
Employee: Tiffany, you need to leave!
Tiffany: Why?
Employee: You're causing trouble again!
Tiffany: This is crap!
Madge: Wait a minute! You're Tiffany Rongo, aren't you?!
*Tiffany sulks*
Madge: All I can say is, I'm glad Pippa and Ian chucked you out!
*Madge walks towards the aisles*
Tiffany: YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME, CROAKY VOICE!
*The employee throws Tiffany out the door!*
Employee: And don't come back!
*Tiffany growls angrily*
Tiffany: *to herself* You wait Pippa!

At Keisha's house later that day, Roxy is visiting.
Keisha: I hope Nivea likes Carrington Ranges High.
Roxy: I hear the school has a good reputation.
Keisha: At least I know that you're going to be the principal there.
Roxy: I'll make a good principal for sure.
*Keisha sighs*
Keisha: I just hope Nivea, Stephanie and Tiegan are having a great time up in Surfers.
Roxy: Yes, Pippa did say that they were up there for the Christmas holidays.
Keisha: It's lonely being in a house on my own.
Roxy: I know how you feel, Keisha.
Keisha: Thanks, Roxanne. *smiles*
Roxy: It's so nice that we could be friends.
Keisha: I know. 
Roxy: We should go shopping one weekend. How would you like that?
Keisha: A little shopping spree sounds good. I'm up for it.
Roxy: Great.
Keisha: And thank you for visiting me.
Roxy: That's what friends are for.
*Keisha and Roxy hug*
(Meanwhile on the Gold Coast, Tiegan approaches Stephanie in the kitchen of Casey's holiday house.)
Stephanie: Tiegz, my sister from another mister. What can I help you with?
Tiegan: Steph, I need to talk to you.
Stephanie: Is something wrong?
*Casey arrives back from the beach*
Casey: I'm home!
Tiegan: Casey, I'm glad you're back. This actually concerns you as well.
*Casey looks confused*
Tiegan: I'll explain.
Stephanie: Tell us what's wrong.
Tiegan: Last night, I heard Phyllis talking to someone on the phone. She sounded very agitated.
Stephanie: And?
Tiegan: And it sounded like that she had to give money to someone.
*This catches Casey's attention straight away*
Casey: Tiegan, I'm going to warn you right now. Phyllis is in a lot of s**t with some people around here.
Stephanie: Do you know something, Casey?
Casey: Phyllis is a user. And I'm not talking about a user of money either.
Tiegan: Are you saying that...
Casey: That's right. She's used me quite a few times as well.
Stephanie: Then why are you friends with her?
Casey: I'm not close friends with her. I only tolerate her for Amber's sake.
Tiegan: Is there anything else that I should know about Phyllis, Casey?
Casey: She always slags her mother off behind her back. Now, I've met Phyllis's mother and she's a very nice lady. Just be careful of her. Okay, girls?
Stephanie: We'll be careful.
Casey: Come here.
*Casey hugs her two friends*
(Elsewhere, Nivea is spending time with Nathan at Paradise Shopping Centre)
Nivea: I had a great time playing basketball with you today.
Nathan: I enjoyed it myself, especially playing with a hot chick like you. *winks*
Nivea: Oh, thanks. *blushes*
Nathan: I've never had a girlfriend before.
Nivea: Really?
Nathan: No. I really would like you to be my girlfriend when the time comes.
*Before Nivea can answer him, they see Phyllis yelling at someone on her phone*
Phyllis: Get it through your thick head, mate! I'll give you your money when I'm ready to give it to you!
Nivea: *to Nathan* Wait here.
Phyllis: JUST LEAVE ME ALONE, OKAY?! *hangs up the phone*
*Nivea walks over to Phyllis*
Nivea: Are you alright?
Phyllis: Just some people hassling me. It's starting to stress me out.
Nivea: Come here.
*A distressed Phyllis hugs Nivea*

Episode 34

That afternoon, Madge is getting out the ingredients for what she's going to cook that night for dinner when Pippa comes downstairs.
Pippa: What's on the menu for tonight's dinner?
Madge: I'm cooking a delicious beef stroganoff with rice.
Pippa: Sounds delicious.
Madge: Harold loves it. Charlene wasn't a big fan of it when she was a kid, but she couldn't wait to eat it once she grew up.
Pippa: How is Charlene by the way?
Madge: She's good. She's got her own mechanics business and her and Scott are still living happily ever after.
Pippa: How old are their children now?
Madge: Daniel is 6 and Madison is 3.
Pippa: Next time you see Charlene, tell her that Pippa says hello.
Madge: I'll more than happily do that, love. By the way, I ran into that former foster kid of yours while I was at the supermarket.
Pippa: Tiffany?
Madge: That's her. I must say she's got a mouth on her like a hoodlum. Called me a transvestite and every name under the sun.
*Pippa looks shocked*
Pippa: Oh no.
Madge: I'm just glad you and that Ian kicked her out before she caused even more trouble. She reminds me of that pest Sue Parker.
Pippa: I'm so glad you're here, Madge.
Madge: Me too, love.
*Madge and Pippa hug*
(In Surfers Paradise, Stephanie is in the guest room when Nivea enters.)
Stephanie: Hey.
Nivea: Hey there.
Stephanie: How was your outing with Nathan?
Nivea: It was okay...
Stephanie: Okay? So, it wasn't great?
Nivea: He wants to be my boyfriend.
*Stephanie looks shocked and surprised*
Stephanie: Get out!
Nivea: No, I'm serious. When we were playing basketball, every time I got the ball in the hoop, he would always hug me and squeeze...
Stephanie: I think I know where you're going with that. *smiles*
Nivea: Has a guy ever...
Stephanie: Squeezed my behind? Yes.
Nivea: I feel awkward.
Stephanie: Don't be. You're 14 years-old. It's normal for girls your age to be awkward about things like that.
Nivea: Do you go to church?
Stephanie: I used to go to Hillsong in the city. Since I moved to Carrington Ranges to be with Pippa and Ian, I'm thinking of going to C3.
Nivea: What about Tiegan?
Stephanie: Tiegan used to go to Hillsong like me.
Nivea: Cool. Mum and I went to the Hillsong over in Cape Town.
Stephanie: Nice.
*Tiegan walks past wearing a tight black dress*
Stephanie: You off somewhere, Tiegz?
Tiegan: I'm going to hang out with Phyllis down at the tavern.
*Casey walks in, having heard this*
Casey: What?
Tiegan: I said that I'm going to the tavern with Phyllis.
Casey: Tiegan, she's bad news. Just don't do something I would regret.
Tiegan: I'm going to confront her.
Stephanie: About?
Nivea: I think I know why. Over those mysterious phone calls Phyllis is getting.
Tiegan: Bingo!
Nivea: While I was out with Nathan, I heard Phyllis screaming at someone down her mobile phone.
Casey: She probably owes some poor person money.
Nivea: That's exactly what she told whoever it was on the phone.
Stephanie: Do you need back up, Tiegz?
Tiegan: I think I can handle this on my own. Wish me luck.
Stephanie: Bye.
*Tiegan leaves*
Casey: I hope she knows what she's doing.
Stephanie: Me too. Anyway, you had some news for us?
Casey: Yes, I did. I was thinking of throwing a party.
Stephanie: Where and when?
Casey: Saturday night. I was thinking of having it here.
Stephanie: I'm in.
Nivea: So am I. I'm sure Tiegan would be too.
Casey: I'll organise it tonight. I'm hoping to get a few of the Sydney folk up here and rage.
Stephanie: That would be so cool!
*Casey smiles*

That evening, Tiegan and Phyllis are at the Surfers Paradise Tavern.
Tiegan: Phyllis, I'm worried about you.
Phyllis: Why?
Tiegan: I'm worried about those phone calls you've been receiving.
*Phyllis tries to brush it off*
Phyllis: It's nothing.
Tiegan: Cut the crap, Phyllis! It's quite obvious that someone is harassing you.
Phyllis: I've got it under control, Tiegan. Relax.
*A bulky woman with red hair storms over to where Tiegan and Phyllis are sitting*
Ivy: Just the person I want to see! Where's my $300, bitch?!
Phyllis: Ivy, I told you that I would give it to you when I got paid!
Ivy: You said that two weeks ago, Phyllis! Not only that, you said it last week too!
Phyllis: I'm flat broke as it is!
Ivy: No one likes you, Phyllis Chen. You're nothing but a dirty user! *to Tiegan* I'd be careful of her, love. She'll go and use you too!
*Ivy then walks off*
Phyllis: I'm out of here!
Tiegan: Phyllis, wait!
*Phyllis walks out of the tavern, upset*
Tiegan: *to herself* Right. Time to find out the truth.
*Tiegan walks over to where Ivy is*
Tiegan: Have you got a minute?
*Ivy turns around and faces Tiegan*
Ivy: Come to stick up for Phyllis, have you?
Tiegan: No, no. I just want to talk with you.
Ivy: Sit down, love.
*Tiegan and Ivy sit at a table*
Tiegan: If you don't mind me asking, why does Phyllis owe you so much money?
Ivy: That ungrateful bitch used me to buy her meals at the tavern, tickets for the train and bus as well as other stupid things. She owes thousands of dollars to people she claims are her 'friends'.
Tiegan: I can't imagine what she was like back in her old hometown.
Ivy: Everyone despised her in Sydney. That's the reason why Phyllis moved up to the Gold Coast. I just feel so sorry for her poor mother. Phyllis treats her so badly!
Tiegan: Thanks for taking the time to chat with me.
Ivy: No worries, love. *smiles*
(When Tiegan arrives back at Casey's holiday house, she spills the beans to the girls.)
Casey: I told you that Phyllis was no good!
Tiegan: She just walked out the tavern. She looked upset.
Stephanie: I know one thing.
Nivea: What's that?
Stephanie: Phyllis has dug herself into a hole that she just can't seem to get out of.
*Tiegan, Stephanie, Nivea and Casey all look concerned*

NEXT TIME ON LIFE AFTER SUMMER BAY
- Concerns grow amongst Tiegan, Stephanie and Casey as Phyllis doesn't answer their calls
