The Adventures of Gabriel and Nathalie

by Hénock Gugsa 
=======================================================

Some time back, in my never-ending travels (cruises) on the internet, I ran into a website called "Tumbler".  So, I checked it out from here to Sunday, and it is quite an entertaining and unique website.  It is mostly a repository for blogs of all kinds:  story rooms, chat rooms, art rooms, media rooms, etc.

I signed up as henock928 and now have my own room which I have named: "Asta9 ".  But this is all not so relevant to the little story  I want to share here.

Inside Tumbler, there is a blog called "Gabenath Fanblog" which is basically about the (fictional ?) lives of the Agrestes, Gabriel and Nathalie (née Sancoeur).  There is also a third character named Adrien who is Gabriel's son / Nathalie's stepson.

As far as I can figure, the authors/contributors of Gabenath Fanblog must be francophone because I have had to go in and edit (amend) words or phrases that are obviously bad translations from French. Actually, though, I have discovered the blog is originating in Germany.  At any rate, I am here presenting seven little episodes (encounters ) between the characters.  Enjoy!

Episode 1 -

Nathalie: "Where'd the mistletoe come from?"

Gabriel, blushing while staring at Adrien: "Adrien!"

Adrien: "What, someone had to make the first move and clearly neither of you were gonna do it."

Episode 2 -

Adrien: "Nathalie likes it when you’re mysterious."

Gabriel: "Got it."

[later, on his date ...]

Nathalie: "So, dear, where are we going for dinner?"

Gabriel: "None of your business."

Episode 3 -

Nathalie: *hugs Gabriel*
Gabriel: "What is this?"

Nathalie: "Affection?"

Gabriel: "Disgusting."

Nathalie: "..."

Gabriel: "....Do it again."

Episode 4 -

Adrien: "Why are you two holding hands?"

Gabriel: "Studies show it relieves stress."

Adrien: "Oh, okay, I just thought maybe you were dating or something."

Nathalie: "We are. We’re also really stressed."

Episode 5 -

Nathalie: "I was attracted to you first."

Gabriel: "Well, I confessed first."

Nathalie: "I asked you out first."

Nathalie: "And, well, I said ‘I love you’ first."

Gabriel, getting down on one knee: "I proposed first."

Nathalie: "Well, I- WAIT WHAT?"

Episode 6 -

Gabriel: "You know, I really don’t like your last name."

Nathalie: "What’s wrong with Sancoeur?"

Gabriel: "I don’t know... it just doesn’t suit you. You should change it."

Nathalie: "Change it?! To what?!"

Gabriel: "Agreste."

Episode 7 -

Nathalie: "Don’t change the subject."

Gabriel: "What’s the subject?"

Nathalie: " Me. "
