The First Date

## The Introduction

My stomach dropped as I met the "secret" person I was having dinner with that night. I'd know him for so long, but to *date* him? The idea seemed absurd.

Ben's smile only grew wider as I stood there stammering like an idiot in front of his brother, who was as equally dumbfounded as I was. He slyly patted Tom on the shoulder as he stood between us, then pointed towards both. "So... I assume you two know each other, right?" he asked without even trying to disguise his sarcasm. Of course I knew him! I'd lived with both Ben and Tom since I was 16, which is what made this blind date idea so absolutely *weird*. Tom wasn't a date, was he? He was a friend, still the adorably nerdy kid I'd met at an afterschool club all those years ago.

Tom's expression straightened and his hands disappeared into the pockets of his khakis. As he looked up and met my stare, he began. "I mean, we *do* know each other," he grinned. "So it'll be just like old times, I suppose?" He held out his hand eagerly, beckoning to me, and after a bit of hesitation, I met his with my own.

"Aha, there it is!" Ben yelled giddily as he clasped his hands together with a smack. "So should I leave you two *love birds* to it?". His eyes darted back and forth between us.
Kavita

**Kavita** was Taarak Mehta's colleague who had asked him to help her battle her online impersonator who had been defaming her via Takebook.

After Jethalal had caught suspicions on Mehta, like him lying about his whereabouts, he told Champaklal and he confronted Mehta outright.

He had came to her house with *shagun* with Bhide and Madhavi, but after being heartbroken he confronted the impersonator.

## Physical Appearance

Michael Dugan is a very unusual looking man. His ears are very enlarged and he has a face that could scare a baby with sharp teeth that he's shaved down himself. However, Michael never was physically strong in the past so it led to multiple arrests when he could not defend himself. After escaping jail for the sixth time, he decided that he aught to become stronger by knowing just the right person to do it. It was a legendary figure, known as Bart Woodward. Michael was going to find him and become a super soldier. The only problem with this was that Bart's actual location was unknown.

After waiting for a few hours in the same spot, Michael spotted him; a man was rummaging through the woods and spying with overly large goggles while speaking to his dog in a deep British accent. It had to be Bart. He approached him, pushing the scientist over and accusing him of spying. Bart was startled when Michael put forth his proposition: make him a super soldier or be taken back to jail with him for stealing food. Bart begrudgingly agreed and they headed back to the cave lab. A few days of testing went by. There were bumps and bruises here and there, but Michael finally knew that Bart had perfected it: a perfect super soldier serum. He entered "The Machine," as Bart called it, and it finally ended after a wild spasm of screams of terror. Michael knew that he now, was a super soldier. He opened his eyes but something was off. His arms were not large and muscular. The only thing that had changed was his body was elongated. It had failed, and Michael was enraged. He attempted to attack Woodward but what he didn't know was that the scientist had created multiple clones of Michael while testing his DNA. They all then swarmed the helpless criminal and he was thrown out of the cave on his face. Michael, looking back at his clones guarding Bart's cave lab, swore vengeance while walking with his head low. Michael didn't know at the time, but Bart had contacted the authorities anonymously. After strolling out of the woods, Dugan was met with lines of cop cars. This truly was a bad day for him.

## Early Life

Eleanor Renee (Maiden Name was Chu) was born on May 29th, 1971 in Shenyang, China to Tyris and Kaia Chu. She is an only child because of the one child rule that used to exist in China.

Ellie's family was extremely poor and most of the time spent nights without food. Her father drank most of their money away and didn't seem to show any remorse about it. It led her mother to have to get her own job to keep food in Ellie's stomach. So most of the time, she was alone to fend for herself. She led a lonely childhood and not a lot of children wanted to play with her because she was dirty and poor. This made her terribly sad.

At the age of 15, Ellie met Franklin and his family showed care and sympathy for her. They took her in and cared for her like no one ever had. This led to Ellie falling for Franklin and they got married a year later, moving to Taiwan.

At age 17, Ellie became pregnant with her first child. Naturally, she was terrified but she instantly loved her child from the moment she knew about her. Nine months later, together they had a baby girl.

## The move to the US

Nearly three years later, Ellie became pregnant with another child. In a panic, the three of them moved to the US in an effort to avoid the one-child rule and the baby being taken from them or killed. A lot of people were rude to the family and did not want to help them or offer them jobs. But they knew they had to do this to keep their family safe. 7 months later, their second baby girl was born and then another two years later.

## Motherhood

Ellie cares deeply for her three daughters and always pushed them to do their best, sometimes this resulted in them resenting her but she did it for their own good. She wanted them to be successful but didn't hesitate to show them unconditional love and support when they needed it.

Martin Mason

Rachel Bruckheimer - Adopted daughter

*"Listen baby, sometimes things aren't that simple. There are some people who can't help themselves, and they'll never change. It is up to us to help them even when we can't help ourselves. The truest love is sacrifice, and that is why we must be in service to others if we truly love them."*

— Martin to Amy about Nora

**"Martin Armand Mason"** (born Feb 21st) was the adopted father of Rachel and Amy Mason. He was a former French entrepreneur.

## Career

Upon leaving France, Martin tried mightily to keep his business afloat in the years to come. However, after allegations of theft, he lost credibility, causing a personal decline and a severe plummet into alcoholism.

After this happened, Nora began to despise him, blaming him for leading her on a journey to what she believed was nowhere. He had promised her streets paved with gold but she could find none. Martin began to become subervient to her, feeling guilty for his actions. However, he still loved Nora, even when she seemingly began to not love him. After Nora had become jealous of the deep bond between father and daughter Martin and Amy had, she began treating Amy harshly, something Martin noticed. He would be there for her through this, telling her to be hopeful that things would become better.

## Death

Upon his death, Amy internalized her grief, as Nora placed blame on her for his death. Despite Martin's words, she stood up to Nora and found the care of those in her school.

## Legacy

Martin's words would become like scripture to Amy, as she followed them with every step. His belief of being subervient to those one loves for the betterment of them lead Amy to become taken advantage of by many. His hopeful views of the future and his compassion, however, outlined her outlook on life. She eventually learned to accept that Martin was wrong in his belief, confronting his ghost in her head. This allowed her to become a more successful person, as she now knew how to stand up for herself.

## Creation

Martin was created for Amy needing a father figure, also the fact that he can be seen mostly as a centerpiece for starting Amy's strive for optimism.
