We start out trying to get the family businesses back to Aqwe.  Ashmore zapped in, turned over ownership and then was zapped back to where he belonged.  Now Aqwe owns the bowling alley and the music store.

Yeah, well Ashmore doesn’t live here anymore but we’ll see that he gets it.

Aqwe:  Here you go Ashmore.  Nina left this hot tub for you.  I wrapped it up so that you could take it home with you.

Ashmore:  Thanks sis.  Our lot could really use a hot tub.

Aqwe:  By the goddess I’m board.  I miss my grandparents.  I miss Phillip.

He’ll be here soon enough.  If you try, you’ll find something to fill your time.

Aqwe:  Can I call Phillip now?

Sure.  It’s the eve of spring.  Go for it.

snapshot_fb5bc4e0_1b90fd21

Aqwe:  Oh Phillip.  I have missed you so much.

Phillip:  Oh babe.  I have missed you too.

snapshot_fb5bc4e0_fb90fd71

Aqwe:  Marry me Phil.  Here.  Now.

Phillip:  Oh Aqwe.  I love you.  Let’s do it.

Aqwe & Philip Terry married Feb. 28, 21 AF.

 

Additional Notes:

Aqwe took a job in the education field and is now a College Senior Professor.  She is still waiting for a law enforcement job to come along.  Phillip knocked Aqwe up will some casual woohoo right before the wedding.  There will be a new little Terry come spring.

snapshot_db5ba5a1_1b8b39b7

Malcolm continues on his hunt for 30 loves.  When I count his memories I get 30 but he has the 30 love want locked in and it hasn’t been fulfilled yet.  He only has 27 LIVING loves so I guess we’ll just keep going.  Maybe I just can’t count.

snapshot_db5ba5a1_3b8b3b98

The triplets plant a winter garden.  Tammy uses their hard work to get into the garden club. 

snapshot_db5ba5a1_9b8b3c68

Roman:  Ugh.  Girls everywhere.

Tammy calls up Louis over for a visit.  He dated Evelina all during college but she stole him fair and square.

snapshot_db5ba5a1_1b8b3cbd

Tammy:  Louis, will you marry me?  Love me?  Be my man slave?

snapshot_db5ba5a1_bb8b3d0a

Louis:  (YES!  I’ve made it.  I’m PLAYABLE!)

They had a quick private service out in the yard.

snapshot_db5ba5a1_bb8b5872

Vena Gamble drops by.  She seems to have found her hair.  Purple works on her.

snapshot_db5ba5a1_db8b613b

Tammy had her heart set on a crafting business.  She bought this sewing business and put her husband and father to work.

snapshot_db5ba5a1_db8b6553

Soon the business was up and running.

ScreenHunter_171

Malcolm found a few more friends to romance and FINALLY I got it.  30 loves at once. 

snapshot_db5ba5a1_db8b751d

Louis has a thing about formal wear so the couple spiffed up.

Tammy:  This pregnancy thing isn't all it’s cracked up to be.

snapshot_db5ba5a1_7b8ba73d

Tammy:  Oh no oh no oh no oh no…

snapshot_db5ba5a1_9b8ba76a

Tammy:  It’s a girl.  I have a daughter.  An heiress.  I don’t have to do that again.

Alyssa was given permission to buy a new business so long as she made back all the money she spent.  It took a while but she managed it.  Her dad then let her buy another business that she could work on in college.

The family found an old lamp in the yard.  Malcolm just threw it on a shelf so Roman claimed it as his own.  He could tell there was magic there.  He made a wish or two then tucked the lamp into his nap sack for later use.

snapshot_db5ba5a1_db8ef170

Alyssa wished for love and soon met a butler Elton Bennett.  She found herself strangely attracted to him despite the fact that he was older and seemed to be a bit vain.  That is makeup he’s wearing isn’t it?

snapshot_db5ba5a1_3b8ef4b9

Jenna wished for love and soon met Nathanial George.  She found herself very drawn to his exotic looks.  Only her half brother Roman knows exactly how exotic his looks really are.

All good things must come to an end.  The Cobb children head off to college where they will join up with their half siblings.  Just one big happy family.

Of note:

Malcolm changed careers to law enforcement and is now a Lieutenant.

Tammy took a job in the oceanography field and is now a Deep Sea Fisherman.

Louis took a job in the dance field.  He became a World Class Ballet Dancer.

Winter Years 15-21–Gamble

The Gamble Family: 

ScreenHunter_151

Fidelia Gamble – Permanent Platinum Knowledge/Family sim and head of household.

Her son Theo Gamble – Permanent Platinum Romance/Fortune Sim.

Theo’s Children:  CC Twins Ulla & Nelo, CC Alien Abduction twins Vena & Guntur & child by Dance sphere abdjuction Hero.

ScreenHunter_160

Some changes occurred since last we met with the Gamble family.  The major one is that Theo was given the kiss of eternal life.  This was nothing I did so I assume ACR took care of it.  Because of this the family got a new two car garage and a special room for Theo’s casket.  Theo is embracing his new life.  Being changed gave him a happy memory and he has not yet had any wish to be cured.

snapshot_7b5ba197_3b8a27b7

Theo:  AK!  The sunlight.  My change will take some getting use to.

snapshot_7b5ba197_db8a266e

Hero:  Da da.  Da da sleep in box.

snapshot_7b5ba197_3b8a2802

Fidelia:  Goodbye Guntur.  Have a good day at school.

snapshot_7b5ba197_bb8a29fd

Fidelia was teaching Vena to study when….

thumbnail_7b5ba197_fb8a2a4b

…her time on earth ran out.  Fidelia Gamble born May 3, 57 BF, died December 9, 15 AF.

Malcolm:  Theo…you just look so…attractive tonight.  I just can’t resist you.

Theo:  So why try?

snapshot_7b5ba197_db8a32a1

The family starts a gardening project in the middle of a mild winter.

Why are you wearing that outfit?

ScreenHunter_158

What the?  Ok.  I didn’t do this.  Now I know Theo was playing in the dance sphere on the community lot when I was playing another lot but that shouldn’t have gotten him knocked up.  Geeze.  What to do.  What to do.

snapshot_7b5ba197_db8a372b

Ulla:  Dad we need more artwork around here.  Maybe some sculptures outside.

Theo:  Uh.  Ok.  Just handle it.

Ulla:  Thanks dad.

Hero grows into a child. 

ScreenHunter_159

Theo earns a wishing well in the middle of the night.

snapshot_7b5ba197_7b8a3a8e

Theo:  You know I kind of like this baby thing.  It’s kind of nice.

snapshot_7b5ba197_bb8a3b5b

Hero:  Do you think our home planet has great big mountains for totally flat land?

Vena:  He he he.  What difference does it make? We’ll never get to go there.  And who would want to.

ScreenHunter_162

Theo became a professional party guest topping his first career path.

snapshot_7b5ba197_5b8a3d57

Roman:  Our dad is totally cool.

Hero:  Yeah.  I want to be just like him when I grow up.

snapshot_7b5ba197_5b8a3fa8

Theo:  What is this?  I’m not feeling so good.

snapshot_7b5ba197_db8a3fe5

Theo:  Why do I always forget this part?

snapshot_7b5ba197_9b8a401c

Welcome to the family Wahalla Gamble born January 13, 18 AF.

The twins start using the wishing well to make friends.

Birthday time.

Wahalla Gamble – Virgo – 10-4-9-2-10

snapshot_7b5ba197_1b8a6b1d

Ulla:  That’s a good girl.  Come on baldy, walk to sissy.

snapshot_7b5ba197_1b8a6da0

Ulla & Nelo ran the family business for a while.  For some reason, going downtown caused Ulla to grow purple hair.  Go figure.  I thought it would pop up when she aged into teenager and I was almost right.

snapshot_7b5ba197_7b8a76fc

Ulla bought a small business where she could hold chess tournaments.  The business ran up to level 5 before she sold it for almost $40k.  She has now passed the $50k earned mark.

snapshot_7b5ba197_7b8a7b11

Ulla:  I am really something aren’t I?  Yeah.  I am.

snapshot_7b5ba197_9b8a7b79

Theo takes a break from romancing and baby producing to work on his natural hobby of tinkering.

snapshot_7b5ba197_db8a7cea

Nelo calls up the garden society and manages to not only get in but earn another wishing well.  He then sales the wilting frozen tomatoes for what money he could get.

Theo’s second lifetime want is to be a Celebrity Chef.  Eventually he found an opening in the culinary field.  He is currently on level two.

snapshot_7b5ba197_db8a8668

Theo threw a house party on the last day of winter.  He wanted to rack up a few more loves.  Things got a bit wild.

snapshot_7b5ba197_db8a84c6

Guntur almost froze to death.  His father managed to warm him up.

snapshot_7b5ba197_fb8a8880

Overall it was a great party.  A good send off for the kids.
