I'm not gonna lie. Ever since Zelda became an elder all I ever do with her is make her level up her painting skill. I need heir portraits. As you can see, her first painting of Vega didn't go so well.
Zelda: What are you talking about?! Yellow head, blue eyes, and uhm... face. This is the spitting image of my husband!
Luna actually rolled the want to become a surgeon, so she gets to skill up logic like never before. I was a bit uncomfortable to see that the entry level position in the medical career is as a... *gulp* organ donor?!!!
Apollo was still trying to seem like your everyday Rennaissance man so he invited Noble to a date at the art museum. She showed up in her Sunday best. What is it with my game and potential spouse ladies dressing like total slobs?
Apollo: Noble, you look... amazing?
Noble: I know. Well, let's get this over with, shall we?
Apollo: I kind of hate this place. What's with all the vases? Plus, these statues are horrible. I would have modelled for them if they'd only asked. My abs are the stuff of legend.
Noble: UGH All you ever talk about is YOU and I'm getting pretty sick of it already.
Apollo: Well what else is worth talking about?!
Apollo: I'll just tell you one thing right now, okay? If you're expecting to become MY wife, you're going to need to be a little less... yourself, got it? I'm gonna need you to wear nicer clothes and agree with me more. So, back to our date?
Noble: ...
Unsuprisingly, she left. Apollo gave up pretending to be interested in art and went home to have a good sulk session.
Apollo: WOMEN. I don't get this dating stuff at all. What did I say? I thought couples were supposed to communicate their needs.
Apollo: Still... she is a bit cute when she yells at me.
Whereas Apollo's date crashed and burned, Luna and Rico were out having a lovely time at the Bistro.
Just look at those fancy date clothes!
Luna: I'm so happy that no one in my family can use an appliance without breaking it.
Rico: I'm just happy you're happy, my sweet.
*gags*
And then they get makey outy in front of everyone at the Bistro.
Old guy: Kids these days, am I right?
Rico: My love! You've jammed yourself into the table! Are you okay?
Luna: I've never been better.
Rico: Wh-what? Is that a? Are You? ...And to me? Now? Today?! ...OMG!
Luna: You bet!
Ring: *Dazzles*
Cop: *is not moved*
Luna: I love you, my beautiful repairman! Marry me!
Rico: Can't speak.. Ring... too dazzling.
Cop: Hmph. Why hasn't anyone ever proposed to me?
Luna was so excited she rushed home to announce her engagment. Apollo was the very first person she told.
Luna: Guess what, Apollo! I just proposed to Rico! And he said yes!
Apollo: WHAT? ALREADY?
Apollo: I mean, that's so great, sis! I'm very happy for you and not at all jealous or threatened in my role as heir. *strained smile*
Apollo: Now, if you'll excuse me, I have something I have to do.
Vega: Remember when I proposed to you, my darling?
Zelda: What's that, sonny? Speak up!
Vega: How delightfully old you are. <3
Apollo was pretty jarred by his sister's progress on starting her own family. He figured he better not leave things the way they were.
Noble: Oh, it's you. Come in, I guess.
Apollo: That's actually a warmer greeting than I expected.
Apollo: Listen, Noble. I thought about our date a lot these past couple days. I just wanted to let you know, you're right. Maybe I am a little self-centered. I'm sorry.
Noble: I'm sorry, too. I was just having a bad day. I shouldn't have snapped at you. You're not so bad.
Apollo: Good! That's a start! Maybe we could just forget about everything and start all over? I'd like to see you again, if that's okay.
Noble: Sure, I'm game!
Feeling optimistic, Apollo left for home. His good mood was not long-lived, however, as he couldn't help but spot another guy coming up the stairs to visit Noble.
Apollo: Who the heck are YOU? And how do you know Noble?
Apollo: You know what? I don't care. Just don't let me catch you around here anymore.
Mysteryman: Hm, let me think on that for a moment. Yeah, no, I think I'll come over here whenever I please, and YOU can mind your own business, skinny.
Apollo: SKINNY? Oh That is IT! You and me, right here, right now. Let's go.
DON'T DO IT APOLLO. THE BICEPS! LOOK AT THE BICEPS!
But it was too late. The random guy tackled Apollo so hard they both fell INTO the earth.
Sorry, Apollo, but I lol'd.
Mysteryman: YEAH! TAKE THAT!
Apollo: Ohhh... my all of me hurts.
Apollo may have gotten his butt kicked, but it did make the mystery man so tired that he went straight home. So, mission successful? I think so.
Apollo: zzzz ... so... humiliating. zzzzz
Apollo: zzzzz... Noble must never know... zzzz
The next evening Luna and Rico held their wedding at the beach. Even Noble came, and she was very... excited?? to see Apollo.
Obligatory seaside wedding shots.
They had such a large audience. I'm happy for them, but I can't help but wonder... WHO ARE ALL YOU PEOPLE?
Vega: My littlest princess is all grown up! *sniff*
Zelda: When's this going to be over? It's like 7pm. It's waaay past my bedtime.
Vega: He better never hurt my Luna or I'll pummel him! *cracks knuckles*
Zelda: Will he be living with us as well? I don't think we can fit another bed in our house.
It's under control!
I decided to move them once again. This time it's a fancy THREE bedroom house! They have arrived.
And it's got a nice view of the sea!
Apollo must have thought having a big new house would increase his chances of impressing Noble, so he invited her right over.
Apollo: I'm glad you came! Did you find the place okay? It IS pretty easy to find. It's the largest house on this street, after all.
Noble: I know. You told me a few times.
Apollo: You know, Noble. I think about you all the time. I... I like you a lot.
Noble: Well, duh.
Apollo: *leans in for a kiss*
Noble: Whoa there, cowboy.
Apollo: I'm sorry. You hugged me. I just thought...
Noble: It's okay. Don't worry about it. *pity pat*
Once again, while Apollo's plans blow up in his face, Luna's life is going swimmingly.
So swimmingly, in fact, that she decided to break in her new big girl bed!
What is this, I don't even. Ever since the addition of Rico to the household, it's been a constant shirtless beefcake party.
The next generation is on the way! Too bad it's coming from the wrong people!! *foams at the mouth*
Speaking of, Apollo was starting to feel a little desperate. He called Noble over to the house again.
Apollo: Look. I'm wearing as little clothing as I can without bumping up the rating on this Legacy. So will you please love me now?!
Apollo: *LEAN?!*
Noble: Nope, sorry.
Paper boy: BOOOO, YOU SUCK WITH WOMEN!
Noble: Well, I've been here for three minutes already. Time to go.
Apollo: *deep breath*
So he put on his clothes to go back inside. At this point I don't even question it.
Apollo: You guys, I am so depressed.
Zelda: Oh dear. My parenting books didn't tell me how to deal with this. Should I make him some spaghetti?
Encouragement butterflies: Don't give up, Apollo!
Apollo: I ALREADY TOOK OFF ALL MY CLOTHES! WHAT ELSE CAN I DOOOO
Apollo: I'M THE WORST HEIR EVER! I CAN'T HANDLE ALL THIS REJECTION!
Luna: Stop screaming at the window and come play video games or something. Geez.
Apollo: Why doesn't she like me!? I just don't understand. You're already married and pregnant, tell me what I should do.
Luna: Uhmm... Have you tried taking your shirt off?
Apollo: YES! ALL THE TIME!
Luna: Mm, sorry, I dunno then.
So Vega finally reached Pop Icon, and can now wear the fancy rock star clothes I designed for him. The shades, however, must be a uniform requirement.
And shortly afterwards, he maxed out his guitar skill! In front of the book store. When I didn't even know he wasn't home. Anyway, HURRAY!
Apollo once again was trying his very best to win the heart of Lady Noble. Things seemed to be going a little better than usual this time.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! SUCCESS! Apollo, you are so in there.
Apollo: Hang on, Noble. Since things are going so well, there's something I need to do before I lose my nerve.
Noble: Apollo? What on earth are you doing on the floor?
Apollo: Shhh. You'll scare me out of it.
Apollo: Noble Deens, will you marry me? Please say yes, we should have had like 3 kids by now.
Noble: YES! I will marry you! ...Wait, what was that second part?
Apollo: NOTHING! *jams ring on finger*
Meanwhile, back at home...
Luna: Oh god oh god oh god
Rico: Aww, you're so cute when you're in horrible pain.
They had a little girl! Her name is Callisto and she rolled Athletic and Good. She has Luna's blonde hair, Rico's tan skin, and Zelda's black eyes.
It killed me to do it, but I sent the little family on their way. I will miss your maxed out mechancial skill, Rico.
The next day was Apollo and Noble's wedding. The dress code was most assuredly formal, as you can see from the guests. Apollo and Noble, however, are rebels without a cause.
Noble: At least I wore a shirt.
Apollo: Hush, my dearest. It would be a crime to wear a shirt on this happiest of days.
FINALLYYYY! *throws confetti*
The family was very much moved by the beautiful proceedings.
Luna: I wonder if anything good is on TV.
Rico: I bet my wife is thinking about TV again. I should get her to read more.
Zelda: They better hurry it up. It's 5p.m. already. I need to be in bed!
NOW MAKE ME SOME CHILDREN!
Thanks for reading!
