Wishing Upon A Star 2.0: 0.4

Welcome back everybody! We've just got this chapter to get out of the way and then it's time for the HEIR VOTE for Gen A!!! Are you excited? Cause I'm excited. :P

Anyhoozle, to start we have Anna greeting a now-teenaged Westley Farley (the super-chill kid from last chapter). And coming down the street for a surprise visit is Arthur's main squeeze Catherine, too.

ANNA - So . . . how're things?

WESTLEY - Oh, you know . . . same as always . . . .

They both do their best to ignore Arthur and Catherine's PDA . . . .

. . . with varying levels of success . . . .

Arthur had a purpose though, which was to exchange promise rings with Catherine. She accepted, much to his delight.

So to celebrate they ran off and 'fooled around' in his parents' bed. XD

Meanwhile Anna was continuing with building a relationship with her chosen beau. Nothing like a relaxing afternoon of cloud gazing.

Youngest son Archimedes is still doing awesome, just FYI. Hanging out on the monkey bars like a straight bawse.

As evening approached Anna switched gears with Westley and started throwing out some flirts. He was accepting.

Boyfriend acquired! Anna is excite, in case you couldn't tell.

WESTLEY - I'm the man.

ANNA - . . . don't ruin it, West.

WESTLEY - Right. Sorry.

ARCHIE - I don't need a girlfriend, mommy. You're the only girl for me!

MOLLY - Awwww! *squeeze*

WALT - You're my only girl too.

MOLLY - <3

ARTHUR - Do you really think you have a chance to steal heirship, squirt?

ARCHIE - Don't you see the bumble-bee t-shirt?

These two are still at it, I see.

Walt's book royalties and Molly's job promotions have gotten a tidy little nest-egg building for the Disneys. I took advantage and built a little outside deck/pool area and extended some of the rooms. I haven't decided if I'm going to do a full re-build for Gen A yet, I guess it'll depend on how I feel at the time.

Archie took immediate advantage of the pool. It's his new favorite thing.

Now that the rocket ship was built, it was time for Molly to get in a few space explorations for her aspiration. She's . . . not thrilled.

MOLLY - I'm gonna die.

You're not gonna die. -_- (I hope).

*an hour later*

MOLLY - I didn't die! I'm awesome.

You sure are, sweetie.

She even managed to bring home a collectable! Some sort of alien fruit. Not edible, but pretty nifty-looking all the same.

Arthur has started to work on his Charisma skill. I think I've decided on the Secret Agent career for him if he wins heirship.

Anna will most likely go into the Entertainment-Musician career to compliment her musical aspiration. Currently she's writing songs for said aspiration.

And licensing them. Her first was 'Let It Go.' :P Yes, I'm totally that kind of dork.

Westley showed up for a random visit. Anna was quick to show him love.

They also exchanged promise rings with each other.

Selfies!

And then Anna serenaded him while Westley checked his social media pages.

MOLLY - I'm off to go be awesome!

Molly got over her fear of space pretty quickly.

And another collectable! Awesome indeed.

Arthur decided to try and mimic his sister's wrist-fracturing homework habits of last chapter.

ANNA - Nice try Art, but I did it first.

Arthur, I can promise you that sitting on the toilet is the very LAST place you ever want to take a selfie. At least I hope it is. Because eww.

This is Molly's work outfit now. I don't even know, lol.

Before she headed off to work though she made sure to bake a cake, because it was time for Archimedes' teen birthday!

His two older siblings had left for school but dad was on hand to pelt him with confetti as he made his sparkle transformation.

Presenting teenaged Archie Disney! He rolls the Creative trait and the Party Animal aspiration.

I decided when he was still a child that Archie would be trying for the new Athletic - Professional Sports career. So his first order of business was to go break in the punching bag outside. He wasn't very impressive to start . . .

But got better after a few hours of practice.

*Eye of the Tiger plays in the background*

WALT - Well Max, that's it! I've achieved my life's ultimate goal!

MAXIMUS - Good show, sir! Congrats!

Walt completed his Bestselling Author aspiration! Yay! I gave him the Renaissance Sim aspiration next, for lack of anything better.

Party Animal dictates that Archie introduce himself to a slew of new sims, so I sent him off to the public gym.

There were plenty of sims inside to greet, though none his own age sadly. Still, milestone complete! Back to the home lot, because his siblings are now home from school.

Uh, Arthur? Why are you hiding under your covers?

ARTHUR - *muffled* I don't wanna talk about it!

Ooookay . . .

ARCHIE - So . . . do you want to talk about it or---

ARTHUR - No.

ARCHIE - Oookay . . . awkward . . . .

ARCHIE - OMP, no! Really?!

ANNA - Yes! It was hilarious! And heartbreaking because he's my twin, but mostly hilarious!

I have no idea what happened at school to put Arthur in an embarrassed mood, but he was all out of sorts and his siblings were 'supporting' him in the typical fashion. By rubbing salt in the wound.

Archie's first teen homework assignment. Walt decided he'd be a good dad and helped him out with it.

Archie? Why the grumpy face?

ARCHIE - No idea.

Okay? Lol

There we go! Finally! A proper legacy homework party!

Afterward Anna decided to be epic and max out her violin skill.

His new aspiration requires that Walt finish reading a certain number of books. It's one of his favorite past-times, so there's no hardship here.

Anna came home pissed from school one day, no idea why.

ARCHIE - Maintain safe distance.

Wise choice.

She decided to work off some steam on Archie's punching bag.

When the weekend rolled around the siblings headed out to Willow Creek's Red Velvet. The reason? It was time to secure a girlfriend/potential spouse for the baby of the bunch. And the twins were certainly not going to miss this momentous ~~opportunity for humiliation~~ occasion in his life.

The brothers headed for the bar and ordered some drinks.

ARTHUR - Really Archie? A protein shake? We're at a BAR. You're supposed to order JUICE.

ARCHIE - Too many carbs, bro. I gotta watch my figure.

Anna, meanwhile, was plunking away on the piano in the main room.

It wasn't long before Arthur joined her and busted out some moves. Thanks to the juice, no doubt.

Several hours went by, though, and not one teen was spotted. A lot of elders, but no teens. I know there's some in the neighborhood too (because I put them there).

So fine! We'll go to a more family-friendly venue. Off to the park!

Another lot, another instrument for Anna. Surrounding sims enjoyed the music while Archie decided to bust out some pushups. Still no teens . . . .

AHA! Finally! I'd long since sent Anna and Arthur home to see to needs and finally this little beauty walked onto the lot. Her name is Nora Bryant and she's literally the only teenager I've seen all day.

Hmm . . . attitude seems a little eh . . . but beggers can't be choosers I guess.

ARCHIE - Hi! I'm Archie!

NORA - Uh, hi . . . I'm Nora . . . .

NORA - The greatest thing you've EVER SEEN!

Okay . . . her expressions are starting to grow on me, lol.

So Archimedes and Nora spent the rest of the afternoon getting to know each other.

KISSES! Archie had several needs tanking at this point so he got sent home, but progress was made so yay!

And then Nora followed him home all on her own! Score!

ARCHIE - A rose for a rose!

NORA - Awwww.

NORA - See?

ANNA - I do, I really do.

Nora was also getting know the rest of the family too. Meanwhile Westley showed up. Unfortunately he (and Catherine) are now young adults so Anna and Arthur's romances have been put on hold.

And Archie is having tons of fun rubbing it in apparently.

ARTHUR - . . . I hate you.

ARCHIE - *muffled* Sorry, can't hear you over the sound of me making out with my hot girlfriend.

Nora also joined Archie out in the pool, his favorite place. I think these two kids are well on their way to future bliss.

WALT - Well babe, this is it. It's almost time for us to step down as the ruling couple of this legacy.

MOLLY - Already?! I don't know, Walt. D'you think the kids are really ready for this?

WALT - Sure they are. We did our best, we raised them well. Now it's time for you and I to relax and enjoy the rest of our lives. Together.

MOLLY - Forever.
