Rabia picked up a new shower for cheap off the street. Hopefully this will be the end of her pre-bath tantrums. Hydrophobes.
She went to visit Voodoo Lady only to find that Barbarossa was now living there.
Rabia: Nooo! How could you marry Barbarossa?
Barbarossa: Shut up, kid.
She tried to get him to invite her inside so she could at least rig up a prank or two, but Barbarossa was having none of it.
Turns out Voodoo Lady hadn't married Barbarossa after all; she'd married Flavio Marcellino and moved into his place. Unfortunately her new husband was a celebrity and Rabia couldn't get past the gates.
Rabia: But I'm hungry.
When has Voodoo Lady ever fed you?
Visiting the neighbors.
Rabia: And then they fell in love and lived happily ever after and had a dozen children--
The Chinn boys: Eew! Eew! Eew!
Courtney Chinn: This is why you're lucky you don't have brothers.
Rabia: I had a brother. He drowned.
Stop depressing everybody, Rabia.
Back to work.
Rabia rolled a wish to throw a slumber party so she invited her best girlfriends over. I was surprised to see their parents let them sleep over in the old burnt out house unsupervised. Perhaps I shouldn't have been. These are the same parents that chastise a hungry orphan for her inappropriateness when she takes a juice box from their fridge.
Happy birthday, Rabia!
Unfortunately her friends didn't find her interesting anymore now that she was a teenager and they all left before even getting their sleeping bags out. And then it turned out Rabia didn't have a knife so she couldn't cut the cake, so she went to bed hungry.
And she became a slob.
Overall, not the best birthday ever.
Her first act as teenager was to egg Redbeard's house.
And then she was finally old enough to start learning the family trade: sculpting.
Rabia finds out her best friend Alessia has started dating Bingham Blood.
Rabia: I saw the pictures. How could you? He's my mortal enemy!
Alessia: You have a lot of mortal enemies. Have you thought about being nicer to people?
Rabia: They kidnapped me!
Rabia: Stay away from Alessia. You're evil!
Bingham: *shock* How dare you call me that!
Also Rabia finds out that Alessia has started doing some shady jobs around the docks, and that she was caught shoplifting at the Bazaar.
Spring cleaning.
Rabia didn't find a date for the prom, what with all the boys in town except Bingham Blood going to private schools. But it was okay, because having a two-person class worked to her advantage when she became prom queen.
After prom, she became an adult.
No, that's not a euphemism. She spinned around and when she stopped she was a few inches taller and realized she'd become stupid.
Rabia: How dare you call me stupid.
Well, what did you expect? I don't think you did your homework once in your life.
Rabia: I tried. You kept making me dig through trash piles instead.
