*Whew* This is going to be a long one. At last we've reached the last chapter of Gen 3! Birthdays are had, gifts are given, laws are broken and more shennanigans are had! At the end of the chapter will be a link to the Generation 3 Heir Poll. The voting window will be open for a while, since I will be posting the Martiza (Mackenzie) Side story parts 1 and 2 before I post the first chapter of Generation 4. So am just going to leave it open until that is complete. Okay then, that's all I've got to say. So without further ado- let's jump right in shall we? Spring has sprung in the Viridi House. To bad it's all gloomy. Isn't it enough to already have a hurricane? I don't need more rain in-game. Thank you very much. But on the upside....I get to redocorate! *throws basket of flowers in the air* We did it! Welcome to old age Austin! Geez. I guess those elder bone pains are pretty instantaneous, huh Austin? "My neck hurts and all the music is too loud!" Why don't you add in a 'Get off my lawn!' while you're at it. At least Austin is aging gracefully. Nice blue hair Aubrie. Very believable. "There! On your left!" "Got it!" At least some people know how to have fun at a party. "So how's it going with my brother?" "It's great!" "I don't get why you like him so much. He's such a dork." "Yeah, but that's why I love him." "All I said was that Darth Vader could probably beat Kylo Ren in a tennis match. I don't know why he got so offended." "It's okay babe, maybe he just didn't understand what you meant by having a better backhand swing." "Awwww, thanks beautiful. You're so supportive." Ah! These two are too adorable. Well, well, well my friend. Congratulations! Top of your career, completed aspiration, master of logic, two beautiful nearly grown up children and an almost-perfect chowder recipe. How does it feel, here in your twilight years? "I won't lie. It feels pretty good. And what do you mean by 'near perfect'?" Nothing. Nothing. Just enjoy your accomplishments. "Because I added more cream of mushroom. Everyone agreed it was delicious." I said NOTHING. Let it go old man. "Never." "Dad. Can I ask you something?" "Of course Princess. Anything." "Do you ever get lonely?" "What do you mean?" "Well....I mean you never married or anything. Not after what happened with our mom. You even walked away from things with Ahana. I just....wonder if you ever regret not pursuing that part of your life." "Honestly? Sometimes. Yeah, I think it's normal to be a little lonely sometimes. But do I regret my choices? Never. Not a single minute. You and your brother are my whole universe. And believe me- that's enough." "I love you Daddy." "I love you too Princess." "Okay Matty. So I have an idea for Dad's birthday." "But the party was yesterday. Don't you think it's a little late?" "It's never too late for a great gift." "Fair enough." "So what's the idea? Does it involve lasers?! Oh! What about a complicated scheme with disguises or a manufactured Rude Goldberg device with marbles? I bet Leah could set that up- she's got A LOT of dominoes." "No. None of that. Just a single phone call." "Oh. Bummer. Well I'm still in." "Hey Daaaaaad.....I have a surprise for you." "Princess, you know my birthday was yesterday. At my age, I don't think surprises are always a good thing." "Trust me. You're going to like this one." *Cue tiniest arf ever* "OH MY WATCHER. Who is thiiiiissss? Look how tiny you are. And those paws and that nose!" "I think my work here is done. Happy Birthday Dad." "Who's the cutest tiny puppy in the whole wiiiiiideeee woooorrrldd!" Welcome to the family lil' Noodle Viridi! I couldn't pick a better name if I tried. What's the matter buddy? The spots got you down? "No. I'm just feeling a little nostalgic. I mean- this could be the last cake I make for them. My kids are becoming Young Adults. Soon they won't even need me anymore." Oh don't be ridiculous. Even young adults still need their parents. I mean- Miranda might be fine. But Matthias.....I think he's got a ways to go before I'd call him 'mature'. "This one is for Snapchat. Coming to you live from my Kitchen!" "Fair point." Plus, you'll always have Noodle. That one is going to need plenty of attention. Now- onto these birthdays! First up, our eldest girl- Miranda! She gained the 'good' trait, and of course- responsible. Like I said- very prepared for adulthood. And now the prodigal son- Matthias Viridi! First let me get my requisite 'candle blowing face' shot. And viola! Young adulthood has been reached! How are you feeling Matthias? "Honestly. Okay I guess. I just.....wish I could pursue a new aspiration in life. I mean- I just don't think gardening is for me." Yeah. I think the plants would agree. Have you ever seen a sad lemon? I have. How about this? I think I've recovered enough from your great grandmother to give it another go. "Now that's more like it. A HUGE family! I can't wait!" Let's see if you're still saying that when you have four toddlers running around." "What's that?" Nothing. DAMN. I forgot to grab a shot of the birthday traits. Oh well. Here we go anyway. Mr.Matthias has gained the 'Family Oriented' trait as well as Compassionate and Responsible. I'd say he's well on his way to being great dad material. "Congratualtions kids! Now when can I expect those rent checks? The bill's on this house ain't cheap." Always the comedian Austin. You get it from your dad. Okay- we got our double birthdays. You know what that means right? Young adulthood means careers, marriage (if you are so inclined) and responsiblility- bring on the matching wardrobe! Looking good Viridi Children! "Can you believe this was once our home Matty? I remember it being a lot bigger." "Well, we were three. So...that' makes sense. But the toys are still awesome! Is that a medival doll house?!" "Seriously Matt. Thank you for coming with me today. I know you don't approve of what I'm doing, but you're support means a lot." "You're my twin Mira. I'll support you in anything. I'll be here with this awesome dollhouse if you need me. Have fun at your meeting." "Hey! I remember you! You came to my park cleanup. It's Darren right?" "Oh yeah- hey! Yeah, you're the genius girl, the one who helps people." "That's accurate." "Fancy runnin' into you here. Adopting a kid?" "Hahaha, not quite. Just getting some information. What about you? Robbing the place?" "You caught me red handed." "You know- I've got some time tonight. I usually make it a point to buy dinner when I run into a beautiful woman." "I bet you say that to all the genius girls who help people." "So whatd'ya say then." "I'll think about it." "I'm willing to wait for somethin' good." "Then you're going to be waiting a while." "Well, I have an appointment. It was nice running into you Darren." "It's Darien. But close enough. I'll be seeing you around Marissa. " "It's Miranda. But close enough." "Thank you so much for meeting with me Ms.Sheena. I know things have been extra busy for you since Ms.Mathers passed." "Yeah. It's been a lot. But I was trained by the best. I know we'd make her proud. So I understand you're here about your birth records. Is that right?" "Exactly. Anything you can tell me. Even if it's just a name." "Well....let me take a look. Viridi, Miranda Renee.......Ah! Here we go! Oh. My." "What? What is it?" "Well, it appears that I have some information here. But you're birth mother signed a 'no contact' order when she signed away her rights. Legally, I can't tell you anything." "So you have the information- you just can't give it to me?" "Yes. Essentially. I am so sorry my dear. I wish there was more I could do-" "MISS SHEENA!" "Yes Trixie?" "Marvin set another fire making muffins." "Oh dear. I'll be right back Ms.Viridi." "Take your time." "Well, how did that go? Did you get the information you were looking for?" "No. But I'm about to." Miranda Renee Viridi. I do not like that look. It means you're up to something. "Whoa! Miranda! What the hell do you think you're doing?! I'm pretty sure that's illegal!" "Remember when you said you'd support me in anything? Well I need you to stand watch." "I think my twin-ly duties end at the legal limits." "Shhhhhh. I almost got it. And......I'm in!" "Here we go......Viridi, Miranda and Matthias.......Mother's name- Glenn, Mckenzie." "Mira, hurry up. I think she's coming!" "Last known address......Campo Del Verde, Selvadorada. Annnd....logout." "MIRA!" "Okay- done!" "Whew. That was close. Anyway. I'm so sorry I couldn't help you more Ms. Viridi. If you can think of any other way I can help you, then just let me know." "It's alright Ms.Sheena. Thank you again for even seeing me. You've helped me more than you will ever know." "Okay Mira. Please tell me we're done commiting felonies for the night." "Oh please- it was misdemeanor at most." "If you say so. Why do I get the feeling this isn't the end of this." "Because Matty- we're just getting started." AND THERE WE HAVE IT FOLKS! That was quite a ride. I can't wait to roll out the next part of the story!
POLL CLOSED 10/28- Generation 4 is Next!
