So, starting us off today is a super exciting, action-packed shot of Ella's maxed Cooking skill diploma. Because that's just how we roll here on the Disney Alphabetacy.
But on to more important matters! It's time for our eldest Aladdin to finally become a man! He gets a winter-themed cake in honor of his love of all things cold and snowy.
The whole family turns out to cheer him on, even Beret Maid joins in.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
No.
And I couldn't resist dressing him up as his animated namesake one last time. Too bad those bottoms are YA/A only, they're pretty much perfect for the look.
This is Aladdin Disney's REAL young adult make-over however. Back in the pink, because ladies love the pink. Aladdin's final trait is Lucky, and he locks in the Pervasive Private Eye lifetime wish.
Aladdin's first action as a young adult was to try and track down his girlfriend, Sabrina. Unfortunately she decided she didn't want to stay in one place and proceeded to lead him on a merry chase all across town for the rest of the day.
Evening brought with it the next prom night for the Disney teens. Finally Aurora has a real excuse to wear her dress. Our heiress is struck with a rather terrifying thought on the way out to the limo.
AURORA - What if someone else is wearing this dress?! What if she looks better than me?! WHAT WILL I DO!
I'm sure you'll be fine, sweetie.
Archimedes on the other hand was just happy to have a date, period. Only nerdy genius sims can properly pull off that powder-blue, ruffled-shirt suit. Archie is no exception.
Much to my complete lack of surprise, Aurora nabbed herself the Prom Queen crown and had a fantastic time with her future King, Edward.
Archimedes also had a great time with his girlfriend Margaret. A little annoyed that all three of the kids' prom photos were exactly the same, but oh well.
Meanwhile, Aladdin finally managed to catch up with Sabrina. In the graveyard. In the rain. Nothing shady about that whatsoever . . . .
ALADDIN - Hey, Sabrina! I've been chasing you all over town!
SABRINA - Oh, sorry Al. I didn't know.
ALADDIN - How could you NOT hear me screaming as I ran after your car?
SABRINA - ....
ALADDIN - Well, that doesn't matter now. Do you want to go out to the movies with me?
SABRINA - Sure, I'd love to! I've finished with my business out here anyhow.
ALADDIN - . . . and what was that, out of curiosity.
SABRINA - ....
ALADDIN - . . . right.
Regardless of Sabrina's questionable activities, Aladdin still escorted her to the theater. And while they toured the building, they had some frisky time in the back. Aladdin did a quite cheery little stride of pride afterward.
Then it was time to turn on the charm. There WAS an ulterior motive for chasing her around town all day, after all. And now they'll get to have this moment in a romantic setting, in the rain.
MOVIE POSTERS - Go for it! Tap that, brah! You got this!
Encouraged by the near-by artwork, Aladdin decided to go for the Big Question.
ALADDIN - Sabrina Cho, will you marry me? Pretty please? Else I just got water in my eyes for nothing . . . .
SABRINA - *shock and awe*
Thankfully Sabrina happily accepted Aladdin's proposal. No marriage quite yet. Since Aladdin is my portrait painter, he gets to stay in the house for a little while longer until he gets his and his siblings' portraits finished. So for now he and Sabrina part ways.
This is just a completely shameless excuse to show off Al's PJs. Pink boxers? Hellz yes. He also inherited daddy's body-hair. :P
I decided I might as well get him started on his PI career, so off he gets sent to the Police Station the next morning.
And unfortunately the person he needed to talk to for his first case was at work ALL DAY.
ALADDIN - Halp! I need to talk to this lady but the Military Facility is in my way!
*siiiiiigh* Just go home, Al.
Ella has now reached the Chef de Cuisine position in the culinary career! One more promotion to go!
That night Aladdin finally managed to track down his first case at home.
ALADDIN - So . . . let me get this straight. You think your neighbor is up to shady, illegal activities and you want me to go snoop through their mail and garbage to confirm or deny this suspicion?
LADY - Yep.
ALADDIN - Well. Glad I cleared that up, then.
Aladdin put on his nifty investigative outfit to do the snooping.
ALADDIN - I'm pretty sure this is illegal.
Meh, you'll be fine.
ALADDIN - Diving into garbage cans . . . somehow this wasn't what I pictured when I was a little kid dreaming of bringing the criminal element of Hidden Springs to justice . . . .
We all gotta start somewhere, Al.
Turns out the neighbor was indeed a criminal, so Aladdin took his evidence back to the girl who hired him. After changing into his pink bubble-vest, since it was getting cold outside--much to his delight.
LADY - Did this guy just set himself on fire?
. . . sort of?
Then it was back home to successfully complete his portrait! Point for the scorecard!
That night I got a pop-up that Sabrina's mother passed away, so good-guy Aladdin decided he wanted to go over to her house and comfort her. Poor Sabrina was pretty broken up.
But Aladdin did lots of consoling and hugs and made her feel somewhat better before she took off for work and left.
The next morning it was time for Archimedes to steal some of the spot-light at last and have his own young adult birthday. Al and Walt were otherwise occupied, but mom and little sis were there to help him celebrate.
Ta-daaaaah! Archimedes rolls Snob for his final trait, and locks in the Possession is Nine Tenths of the Law lifetime wish.
It was at this point that I decided to have Aurora start painting to become the next portrait painter after Aladdin leaves. She's learning pretty fast too, even without the Artistic trait. Aladdin might get to be released into the neighborhood sooner than anticipated.
Archie wastes no time in inviting his precious lady over to the house.
MARGARET - DAT. ASS.
And it's here that we discover that Maggie is Insane. Luckily Archie doesn't seem that put out by it, cheering while she does her best horse impression.
Then he gets started on his own romantic spam, not that Margaret minds in the slightest. As always, she's super easy to woo.
MARGARET - Hey! I bet I know where THIS is going!
If your guess was a prompt wedding proposal, then you'd be correct!
Margaret said yes, OBVIOUSLY. Like she'd say no to her freckled adorkable genius.
After a brief potty break, Archimedes went right to the actual wedding. A nice little affair in the living room in their regular clothes. You know, standard spare-faire.
As the full moon came out, Archimedes and his new bride headed out to their new home together.
MARGARET - Byby mom-in-law. I'm off to go break in your baby boy and make him a man. All night.
ELLA - . . . .
ARCHIMEDES - YAY WOOHOO TIMEZ!
Ella didn't have much time to worry about her youngest son's loss of innocence. It was time for her to have her final birthday as well.
. . . Walt? Why aren't you cheering? You ALWAYS cheer for birthdays!
WALT - I can't, not this time. This birthday means my wife is one step closer to dying and leaving me. :(
Awwww . . .
WALT - HAHA, psyche! I LOVE BIRTHDAYS YAAAAAAY!
There we go, that's more like it.
Despite Ella's reservations about it, she manages to age up into an elder in very graceful fashion.
Aladdin started Archie's portrait before he moved out, and was very successful in completing it. So another point for the board!
WALT - Well, that's that, self. I've managed to complete all of my goals.
He has indeed! A screenshot as proof to show that Walt has successfully completed all of the Writing skill challenges, which means yet another point for the scorecard!
At the same time, he got the notification that City Hall would like to give him an award in acknowledgement of the fact that he'd earned over 25k in book sales.
I was expecting a little award, not a possible murder weapon. I'm also not sure what exactly this particular sculpture has to do with WRITING . . . but oh well. We'll take it.
Speaking of accomplishments! Aladdin managed to stay in the household long enough to actually graduate, though I didn't bother sending him to City Hall. He got the Valedictorian position, as well as being voted Most Likely to Hack into the Military Facility.
Since we were out and about anyway, I did peek at City Hall and managed to catch a glimpse of Archimedes graduating as well.
Aladdin was still busy trying to work on new cases. He was developing a habit of having to chase people all over town in order to do so. He finally managed to track this woman down back at her home after hours of trying, and the first thing she does is go right for a crotch-grope . . . .
ALADDIN - I'm not getting paid enough for this.
I randomly noticed the next day that Archie was working at the Festival as one of the booth attendees . . . um, no. I used MC to put him in the medical career afterward. -_-*
ARCHIMEDES - Oh thank you, thank you, thank you.
You're welcome.
And not long after that, I got this pop-up! Yay babies!
Aurora has proven to be a paint-skill boss, and has already reached the ability to paint portraits. With that in mind, I decided it was time to get Aladdin married off and set free into the neighborhood as well. So he calls over Sabrina, and greets her with a friendly handshake . . . .
ALADDIN - So, sweetie . . . I was thinking we could go ahead and get married here and now, what do you say?
SABRINA - Sure thing, Al!
And so vows were exchanged on the front lawn, in Disney family tradition.
SABRINA - So long, in-laws! Now that I'm legally married, there's no way they can extradite me!
ALADDIN - . . . say what?
Sabrina continues to be shifty and shady, but manages to create this happy notice not long after Aladdin moves out. Both of my boys are doing me proud!
After one of her work shifts, Ella was refusing to actually come home. I couldn't figure out why until I went and found her outside the bistro. Somehow she'd managed to get herself INSIDE the decorative fencing? I'm . . . not even sure how you managed that one, Ella.
ELLA - Neither am I. I took a pill and woke up out here. Other than being trapped in the rain, it's quite nice out here though. These flowers smell lovely. :)
*sigh* *resetsim*
Back at home, Ella continues to worry me with the possibility of the onset of dementia . . . .
If you'll direct your eyes to the family's simoleon total, you'll notice that we've managed to earn ourselves yet ANOTHER point for the scorecard. We are on quite a roll this chapter! We'll no doubt need every single simoleon for when Aurora takes over. She's got big plans in mind as far as the house renovations go . . . .
She has to have a home fit for a Queen, after all.
And finally, before we go, the time had come for Walt to join his lovely wife in elder-hood. Birthdays were always his favorite time, even his own. Especially when he got to celebrate them in the middle of the night, in his undies.
WALT - My SPINE!!!11!1!!!!1
Yep, getting old sucks.
Well folks, this brings us to the OFFICIAL end of our founding generation. Next time Aurora will be rising to power, for good or ill. Will she secure herself a castle, a kingly husband and continue the Disneys into the next generation? Join us next time to find out! Until then, happy simming!
