Shadow is a virtuoso so he got a new guitar for his birthday.
His childhood friend Misty GilsCarbo becomes a teen shortly after he does. Shadow learns she's a Libra, not the most compatible sign to his Scorpio, but that doesn't stop him from pursuing the romance. She is the prettiest girl in their school, in the whole town even, and Shadow has laid his claim on her.
Misty is a bit of a Snob, and runs to check herself out in the mirror to be sure all the kissing and stuff hasn't marred her make up.
"So, your house is kind of small..." Misty remarks to Lionel. She's agreed to go steady with Shadow and foresees where the relationship will lead, so she's making sure the family she will likely be marrying into is as rich as they are suspected to be.
"I thought the same when I married into this family," Lionel responds, "But I assure you, we are sitting on a huge pile of cash. We're wealthier than the Goldbeards, even though we don't live in a mansion." Misty likes what she's hearing.
When Shadow and Pink become BFFs, Cameron is not pleased. Being an Insane Evil mother, she was hoping her twins would end up in an epic rivalry that would result in an unending family feud, and the fraternal harmony in the house is getting her down.
Shadow and Misty go in their first real date. He's surprised when Misty meets him at the beach with Kermit, her toddler nephew. "I had to babysit, I couldn't get out of it," she explains.
"Hey, you guys, I could use a diaper change here."
While his slightly older twin brother pursues romance, Pink is not quite ready to let go of childhood, and spends his weekend playing with younger children like Kristy Shore.
Kristy becomes a teen and wants a more grown up relationship with Pink. Pink is finally ready to move on from childhood. Mostly, anyway; he still likes playing with his old toys. but he can get into this whole dating thing now.
In this house, privacy is just not an option.
Spider's girlfriend Corrie graduated high school before he did, so he spent the latter half of his teen days dateless, focusing on his education to prepare himself for his dream career as a doctor. As soon as he grew up, he rekindled his romance with Corrie, who stayed single while she waited for him to graduate. They didn't waste any more time, and got married right away.
Spider bought the house next to his parents' house for himself and his new bride. This also happens to be the house Corrie was born in. Her parents both died when she was in high school and she had to move in with her older brother, who had married Catherine Caliente, leaving her childhood home abandoned until now.
Challenge Notes:
Lionel and Cameron have both achieved their LTWs (not that that was required). Shadow has 5 more days in his teen life before his generation takes over the legacy. Shadow's LTW is to max Guitar and Charisma. Pink's LTW is the Science career, to be a creature-robot cross breeder, or whatever that is.
Oh, and Spider picked up Coward as his final random trait.
