Chapter Five - Love & Ambrosia
Bonehilda cleaned up after the party, so as the parents walked into the house there was nothing unusual going on. Except for Anarkali singing her favourite song - Roar by Katy Simy.
With the household funds steadily rising and the intense heat, everyone is grateful for the new Family Fun Water Arena. It's the Chants vs. the Yangs. Kyoko is victorious.
Gene is becoming a familiar face amongst the household, they don't mind that she crashes the family-only birthday bash for Pearl.
With her life time wish achieved, Pearl has just one day left before she retires. She spends the evening with Len - who has semi-retired from his painting and angler career.
And the very next day, Pearl retires.
Len: Down with Hairy Hazel!
The ever-present Gene is in vital need of CPR while visiting the beach, or perhaps she just wanted the kiss of life from Gilberto.
Another new addition to the garden is the skating arena.
Kyoko's birthday was forgotten. She ages up alone in the garden and no one can join her as the gates are locked.
She graduates as valedictorian and was voted most likely to never leave the house. Her friend, Gene, was voted most likely to be mediocre.
Another birthday comes by too fast for anything to be prepared.
Even though she hates the outdoors, Anarkali has developed a love for gardening and gathering seeds.
She attends prom alone and manages to convince everyone to crown her Prom Queen.
Ely and Pearl enjoy each other's company like never before. There are no requirements or deadlines to be met - except the anticipation of Ely's elder birthday.
Kyoko achieves the Ice Personality and sculpts Anarkali's teen museum piece.
Anarkali is old enough to unlock the skilling room - an alchemy station is ready for her use. She has already grown the ingredients for the Potent Invigorating Elixirs and Jars of Potent Friendships.
Kyoko had never found her Prince Charming. However, her close friend Gene had always been in her life. It came as no surprise when she confessed her feelings to Gene and their first date took off to a great start.
It was as the sun began to set when Kyoko got down on her knee.
Kyoko: Genevieve, there isn't anyone else in the world I'd rather spend the rest of my life with. Will you marry me?
Gene: Ohmigawd! Yes, yes!
After Ely had posed for her final museum pieces, Len began to prepare her first ambrosia. It took him a while as he'd learned the recipe many weeks ago, and at last he set the plate in front of Ely.
Ely took a small bite, she couldn't describe what it tasted of but it wasn't anything unpleasant. The sparkles that enveloped her were different from the birthday ones - so much more magical, like the time she'd given birth to her daughter.
