Why, it's time for our Gen A spouse Edward to make his transition into full adulthood! He's quite excited, as you can see.
EDWARD - I'm not, not really. I don't want to get older. I'm smiling so big so I don't cry. ._.
Wow, way to bring down the house there, buddy. >_<
Edward ages up . . . into a Terminator . . . who's having a really bad hair-day.
T-101 - I'll be back.
LAWL, j/k. Edward hits middle-age gracefully . . .
EDWARD - Hello ladies . . . if you'll excuse me, I have to go obsessively stare at my two wrinkles in the mirror now. Kbai.
. . . if you don't count the big fat dose of Mid-Life Crises, that is.
EDWARD - My face is like LEATHER! Nobody will contribute to my campaign with me looking this hideous!!
Betcha thought I was exaggerating that whole 'obsessive' part. Yeah, not so much. -_-*
Presiding over his 'royal court' has become Bambi's favorite past-time in childhood. Given his mother's delusions of grandeur, this endlessly amuses me. Belle gives her brother a bow on her way to the bathroom.
BELLE - My liege!
BAMBI - Carry on, loyal subject. Carry on.
Wow, bus. Way to make them work for those grades, eh? The triplets head off to their first day of school while the mail-lady delivers today's ration of gifts from the local creepers, asking for dates.
Where was their older brother? Well, Ben decided he didn't need to go to school that day and stayed home playing 'house' instead. For some reason the game said he didn't have school that day. XD Random.
BEN - It's not like I don't already know everything they're trying to teach me, anyhow.
You still have to go, if you want to roll your trait when you become a teen instead of being stuck with something crappy like Hydrophobic or Technophobe. Imagine if you couldn't use your computer without having a panic attack?
BEN - . . . you make a very valid point.
Thought so. XD
Edward decided to take a smoochie-pic of him and Aurora, killing me with the adorbs.
Then Aurora's Coward trait peeked out.
AURORA - Oh no! What if that photo goes viral?! Gets picked up by the tabloids?! My sparkly clean reputation will be ruined!
EDWARD - I don't think it will, sweetheart . . . but just in case . . . .
EDWARD - Might as well give them something to write about.
AURORA - 8D
Yes, I spam the Heat of the Moment kiss interaction in all my saves now. And guilt for it, I have none to give. I'm pretty sure they went off into their bedroom after this for some afternoon Mommy-Daddy-Alone time. ^_~
Meanwhile the triplets came home and got started on their homework . . .
BELLE - Wow, this stuff is pretty easy!
BAMBI - I know, right? *person person plus*
BOLT - . . . This sux.
BEN - Don't worry, computer. The Sim-Deity was just joking. I could never give you up . . .
Edward maxed his charisma already, but he still enjoys playing with the podium from time to time. Dreaming of the day he's officially crowned the Leader of the Free World.
EDWARD - Yes, yes, I know you love me. Please, there's no need to push or shove each other. You'll all get the chance to shake my hand and bask in my greatness . . . .
. . . I think Aurora's crazy is rubbing off on him.
BOLT - So, I can't help but feel that red sneakers are secretly the cause for all our world's problems nowadays. I mean seriously, red sneakers? Amirite?
BAMBI - His conspiracy theories are literally putting me to sleep . . . .
BELLE - Good thing it's almost bedtime!
And that night! Lookit!! Ghost sparklies!!
Ella decided to uncharacteristically spend her night haunting by chatting up strangers online . . .
While Walt . . .
. . . haunted one of the living-room couches. But I don't care because WALT!!!! <3
Physical proof that Edward maxed his charisma skill, as well as the Business diploma he bought with LTH points. It was only after that I bothered to check and saw that he needed Communications for Politics. >_< Fml . . .
Being Neurotic, Bolt spends a lot of his time staring out of windows . . .
BOLT - I'm waiting for my brothers and sister to come home and play . . .
Wait, where ARE your brothers and sister?
Aha! They had a field-trip to the bistro that day, and apparently Bolt was the only one who decided to go home afterward. I'd be annoyed, but at least they're doing their homework. I decided to let them enjoy the fresh-air and finish.
After he got home, Ben went right for his logic book.
Dawww, bro love!
Being Family-Oriented, Bambi is constantly running around giving his brothers and sister family hugs. It's extremely adorable.
BOLT - Yah, Bam, I love you too but . . . could you wait until I get out of the bathroom next time?
BAMBI - AFFECTION WAITS FOR NO MAN! *squeeeeeeeze!*
And being brave, Belle is CONSTANTLY checking under the beds for monsters. And almost always finds them. Luckily she never seems to check under her OWN bed, though, so she can still go to sleep at night.
Suddenly, another random birthday! It's time for our heiress to join her hubby in full adulthood! Everyone else was sleeping while she finished up one of her paintings, so Aurora gets to celebrate alone.
The beheadings for this oversight will begin on the morrow . . .
HAHAHAHA
no.
Aurora was swiftly tossed into MC's Stylist to fix that. Otherwise, she's a bonafide adult with no lasting repercussions.
The next day was Ben's birthday, and I decided to be different and actually throw a party for once. The backyard gets a stereo, some seating and a buffet table that nobody ever actually touched . . . I am the best party-planner EVARRRR.
Hey, Archie!!! What's with the booing of your nephew?! And Bambi's, like, the sweetest out of all of them so what gives?!
At least Archie's son Aslan is a sight better behaved. As cute as his daddy, too.
This is a random teen girl we invited, one of three romantic prospects for Ben. She's a werewolf and . . . um . . . slightly disturbing. I sure hope he doesn't pick her . . . .
Aunt Sabrina was one of the next to arrive. The balding guy behind her was a crasher, but he happens to be Edward's boss so I let him stay.
Another teen girl for Ben to woo. This one's a vampire.
And lastly, yet another possible companion, this time a fairy girl. I swear I didn't only go for supernatural types. They just happened to be the only girls near his own age -- as I'd plopped down several supernatural families all at the same time a while back to populate the hood with some of them.
Aunt Margaret arrived in her 'formal' wear even though it's a casual party. Maggie wouldn't be Maggie if she wasn't dressing inappropriately.
VAMPIRE TEEN CRASHER - Hey baby! Lookin' good!
-_- . . . you better be glad you're a teenager and this is a teenager's birthday party or I'd reset you on sheer principle . . .
Here we have cousin Ariel! She's Aladdin and Sabrina's only daughter, in case it was forgotten.
Yeah . . . the werewolf girl is already not winning brownie points with me. After she tipped over the trashcan she went inside and started clawing up the furniture. I didn't catch it, but the family had bad moodlets from her being an inappropriate guest some time later.
Most everyone is gathering out in the backyard like I'd wanted. Excellent.
And Aladdin's here! That means this party can officially get started. :D
Ben wastes no time in stepping up to the cake, making sure the whole point of this shindig is seen to.
BEN - Hmm . . . what shall I wish for? Oh! I know! I wish to stay nerdy and become beautiful!
BAMF!
Wish granted!
Despite my warnings Ben didn't manage to get in A in school so his trait was locked. Luckily for him, it was Night Owl and not the dreaded Technophobe.
His first teen wish is to greet this lovely little fairy. So I think we have a preference. :D
BEN - Hi, thanks for coming to my party! It's nice to meet you!
GIRL - Nice to meet you too, Ben. My name's Tink Fae.
BEN - So, uh . . . you wanna dance?
TINK - Sure.
They then embarked on the most awkward, expressionless dancing of all time.
Ah, there we go. Much better. I love Tink's little bumble-bee wings. :P And from that grin I'm guessing Ben does too.
BEN - *rolls wish to kiss Tink*
Okay, Ben, okay. I get the hint. XD
A glance around at the other guests revealed Sabrina slow-dancing with Edward's boss . . .
EDWARD - I hope this doesn't effect my job . . .
I'd be more worried about Sabrina calling for dates and sending you presents in the mail every other day--
EDWARD - SH-H! We don't speak of that! EVER! The last thing I need is for Aurora to go on a murder-spree through the extended family!
Seriously though, Sabrina. Why are you dancing with this guy when you have a perfectly good, perfectly handsome hubby near-by?
And then I found Aladdin on the other side of the yard, mourning his father. D: !!! Dammit, right in the FEELS!
And then Aladdin decided to do his flirty wife one better and slow-danced with his younger brother's wife . . . .
Seriously guys? Can no one dance with their own partner? -_-
Curious, I had Ben consider Tink's attractiveness. He found her 'Blindingly Stunning,' a 10/10 score. Well no wonder he's throwing out wishes for her every two seconds.
Who am I to stand in the way of destined true love!?!?
And Ariel, stop laughing at Aurora before you get yourself locked in a steel box or something. O_o
It was at this time that I received a supernatural potion gift from one of my Simming Friends (I forgot to take note of who exactly, sorry!). And it oh so conveniently happened to be a Potent Friendship potion. Score!
TINK - Holy frapples, Ben! What was that?!
BEN - Love meeeee! *glomp-snog*
By golly, I think she liked it. ^_~
The rest of the guests started trickling home one by one, but as it started to rain (fitting atmosphere is fitting?) Ben secured Tink as his official girlfriend before she had to go home too.
Aurora and Edward are forced to show her brothers and their wives how the slow-dancing thing is SUPPOSED to work.
OMG I love this picture. If I had Photoshop and any photo-editing skills whatsoever this would TOTALLY be Aurora's generation banner.
With the party officially over, Ben retreats into his room and starts playing with the science skill object that's been waiting oh so patiently ever since Uni came out for him to grow up and be able to use it.
It's his new favorite thing. :P
BAMBI - Come, loyal subjects! Bask in my royal glory!
AURORA - OMP, that's my boy!
Bambi continues to play monarch, making his mama proud.
But that night, the Disneys get an unexpected, unwanted midnight visitor. He seems incredibly blase about setting off the alarm, though.
ROBBER - . . . *sigh* Whatever.
The cops came and commenced the beatings. Given his general apathy, I wasn't at all surprised when the robber lost and got himself arrested.
Our heiress and spouse missed the whole thing, of course. They were too busy passing out cold in their bedroom.
Aaah, Coward sims. They never fail to amuse. Welp, that's it for today's installment! Check back next time as the Disneys continue to march forward through this generation and on to the next. Until then, happy simming!
