Week 4 Day 2: Family Planning

It's another day on the Maccaroni island. Instead of focusing on one family each day, there will now be two families focused in each chapter. Redward and Yea-Low will share this chapter, because in a while their children will hopefully start dating. Every other day the chapter will be about Greench and Blumington families.

This morning was warmer than usual, Rita slept a few hours longer, and wasn't really up for new challenges at all.

So, today some nectar was gone, adding to the recently stolen flowers and a camera.

Christopher has become a child, his traits are Athletic, Virtuoso and Hot-headed. Nothing like his older brother Randal, though...

This wasn't really a big deal to Rita, how much probems could some insane person cause on this island anyway? And there would not be any reason to hide Randal's madness, because everyone knew him already.

Meanwhile Archie Greench had heard that Bianca finally grew up, and everyone says that she looks nice. He rushed over to the Blumingtons to meet his childhood favourite friend...

The situation was new to them both, it all felt a bit awkward. Archie liked Bridgette, and Bridgette thought it was cool that they were same age again. But there was also something more - something new?

Now, if only Bridgette's mom Bianca would leave the two teens alone... Here's some more pictures of Bridgette. She's pretty cute, isn't she?

Near by, the little Yea-Low family was at the school library. I must add that the library has not worked quite like intended. It's a nice place to hang out, but skill books are not available. The chess table is popular, and the playground outside is frequently visited as well. And there's always someone reading inside as well, but novels only.

Later on, they were all back home. Yvonne and Yespar have two children now, Corinne and Alex. They are of course correctly named after grandparents, according to old naming traditions I used for most families ever since TS1. It's all about using the first two letters from one grandparent and the last two letters from another, and any letters in between are tweaked until the name looks half decent. It makes for a nice tie between generations, and it normally brings up more unique names than Corinne and Alex. Yespar is one such name - his grandparents were Yesvald and Jespar.

Both Yvonne and Yespar know that they should have 2 more children. They are not very keen on it, but they respect rules and while they get older, there might not be much time left.

Yvonne was too upset to sleep. She left the little house, and walk just a few steps into the wild forest. She looked to the north, remembered how the landscape had reminded her of the Northern Beach of the smaller island. Both locations were facing north, which had to be the reason why they looked similar. Right now she felt a sudden urge to return to the area with darker ground and dead trees. It felt like someone was calling her!

Perhaps Randal Redward is not the only one touching craziness?

Check back in just 2 more days!
