Prosperity Challenge Adore Round 5!
41 pictures this time!
The old homestead desperately needed a make-over. The Adore's had somehow managed to save up a bit of change, what with actually getting up their separate career ladders, and with the girls moved out, we were able to convert their room into a back deck (not shown here) as well as expand the house a little bit. The girls were appropriately bitter over the upgrades after they were gone.
Adrian brings home Draco one day!
Wow, nice Amanda! Maybe I'll let you buy that TV you've been eye-ing.
Of course, Adrian who had never grown up with a TV was suspicious of it and having bad dreams about how it was going to rot his brain (something the teachers are school had always told him).
That night, Terek gets old. He's kind of a cute little old man now, in a weird way. Yes, with a teenaged son. I'm sure he's feeling mighty old these days.
Amanda gets old too and it's hard hating her like this. I mean, she's like a nice little old grandmother lady instead of the slu-- er, loose woman I'm used to.
The new family portrait.
While out picking up a cell phone and new clothes (things his sisters were never able to afford, of course) Adrian decides that Meadow Thayer isn't his type. Well, thank goodness for that!
Along with new clothes, Adrian gets a new haircut and gahsdflkjnewr he's so CUTE!
And smart too! What a catch!
What, you too? Who are you people and what have you done with my Adore's?!?
Amanda decided she too needed a cell phone (whut?) so she trekked off downtown herself. Of course, once she was there she didn't need it anymore but what should I happen to see out of the corner of my eye?
Oh. My. Goodness. The Maxis Gods have smiled upon you, young man. You WILL marry into my families somehow, some way.
Antonella happened to be downtown at the same time so Amanda quickly told her daughter to go over and chat him up! (See, being grandmotherly! It's scary!)
It... didn't go over too well.
Amanda decides to take matters into her own hands. I guess she's still got it or something.
Now this vexes me. The past 3 or so gossip conversations have revolved around Veronica...
... passing out. THIS NEVER HAPPENED! Why are you spreading this rumor around?!?
Still rumors aside, gossip is clearly good fun. And that's just not a pretty picture, I gotta say.
Pretty or not, Amanda has to find out if he's good material for her children.
That's a good sign.
And he seems popular (or wants to be) and, goodness, isn't Tabitha also pretty popular herself...? This might be just the thing!
(Hee hee, I think it's funny I'm everyone's trying to set up Tabitha up with random strangers.)
Meanwhile back home, Adrian's given quite an opportunity! Still, he's painfully shy so perhaps it's just best if he sticks to the tried and true.
Good choice, Adrian!
Aha! There's the Amanda I know and love! Well, love might be a strong word...
Ooo, pretty! Bonus! You know, we have a young man who'll need a pretty, er, heroic wife someday.
Now THAT'S the kind of carpool I wish my father had brought me home in from my after school job!
So, that night, Amanda has this idea. Wouldn't it be wonderful if she could get that attractive young Armand set up with her daughter Tabitha? We could have them meet at Veronica's wedding. So she decided to invite them both over and have them meet (why she didn't think to invite Tabitha I'll never know).
Except she didn't like the way Veronica was looking at Armand, even if she didn't know Veronica's finance very well.
Remember, children, don't do what mommy does.
With some gentle nudging, Veronica and Armand chat it up a little.
Their conversation continues over burgers.
Well... Armand still sees something in Amanda, I just don't know. Maybe it's the purple.
Oh you wait, Blake Adore. You just wait.
Mister Teenage Romance, Adrian heads back downtown under the pretense of shopping again and finds a pretty sparklie girl!
After his eyes cleared, this is what he found himself chatting up. She's a doll! Said her last name was Tellerman but she's no Tellerman I've ever seen.
He'd asked her home but she was too shy (said something about homework or having to wash her hair or something about her psychic telling her to stay home that day...) so Adrian called up a work chum and shyly put some moves on her.
Aw, his first kiss is a llama kiss!
~~Crush!~~
Everyone likes taking orders from geriatric coaches! I see it all the time in Uni so it must be true.
Terek gets his groove on old school. Real OLD school.
Awwww. This can only mean one thing!
Adrian packs his backs and hops a taxi to college. Sniffle. We'll see you soon, cutie-pie!
And I've definitely seen worse college outfits so great job there, buddy!
No points this round but at least we're getting somewhere! Still at 19 points for the neighborhood.
