Tempo Legacy 1.4 » I Guess This is Growing Up
Last time, twins Elliot and Faye were born, Bryce and Charlie became teenagers, Drake became a child, and Elliot and Faye both became children. Adam decided to stop being a vampire, Charlie was rejected by a girl named Ariel for prom, and Charlie and Bryce both went to prom solo. Onto the update! This one is kind of long and quite a bit happens, and at the end there's going to be a heir poll~
We start with them moving into a new house :)

Emily wakes up at the crack of dawn to garden now that she can plant her seeds and do what she wants with it.
Bryce: You don't look so good man, rough night?
Charlie: Sorta...
Bryce: Been thinking about Ariel? I told you, man, just ask her out already. Maybe she was just having a bad day before prom.
Charlie: Yeah... but it's not that.
Bryce: What is it, then?
Charlie: You fart in your sleep. Like, a lot.
Bryce: Well. This is awkward.
I'm not sure why Adam wanted to sculpt, because he's more of a music man than an art man, but I approve of his ideas.
Smustleface is his name. He's my spirit animal.
HE WINS HEIR. NO POLL K.
Aha, he gets a special place in the front yard.
Faye brought this girl home from school, and she instantly took a liking to Charlie.
Girl Nice house you've got here... I can't wait until we're married and I live here, too.
Charlie: WTF.
Charlie: Hey Ariel! You'll never guess what happened to me! You know what? It's better in person, do you want to come over?
Charlie: Oh, you're grounded? No, that's fine. Yeah, see you at school.
Charlie: Well, this sucks.
(Attempting to mutate your arm isn't going to help, babe.)
Meanwhile, Faye has a pillow fight with her IF.
(I thought you'd never have to fix anything, Bryce?)
Bryce: Shh, dad doesn't have to know about this. I like fixing things. I feel productive.
(You need a girlfriend.)
Charlie: Uh... can you leave? I'm trying to take a bath here...
Emily finally started going back to work.
(What happened, girl?)
Emily: Get out of my face.
(Well.)
Bryce: They're watching me, aren't they? I'm afraid to look...
Elliot: H-how are they passing me!? I hit Nitro!
Bryce: -deep breath-
Bryce: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!
(You good?)
Bryce: Yeah.
(Go to sleep. I'm gonna get you a girlfriend.)
Bryce: ...mkay.
I'm a horrible person and completely forgot it was Drake's birthday. He doesn't seem to care.
Aw, cutie :) He developed the flirty trait.
Adam and Emily were offered a free vacation, so it was time for a party!
Charlie: Heyy Yadira~
Yadira: Heya Charlie! How's it going?
Charlie: Oh, it's going great! Parents are out of town, throwing this party and all of that... Hey, could you do something for me?
Yadira: Uh, I don't know, what is it?
Charlie: Could you talk to my brother?
Yadira: Talk to your brother? Why?
Charlie: Well, you're pretty and smart and I think he likes you. I mean, he's never said anything about it, but I just got this feeling, you know?
Yadira: I don't know, Charlie... I don't really know him. I mean, he seems nice and all, but he's a Senior! I'm only a sophomore!
Charlie: Oh, come oooooon Yadira! You know you want to.
Yadira: Oh... alright! You owe me though.
Charlie: Of course! I think he's in the kitchen.
Bryce: I don't know any of these people. How does Charlie know all of these people? He's a junior!
-bump-
Bryce: Oh! Crap, sorry!
-smooch-
Bryce: Wait... was that the cure girl from my gym class?
Bryce: Hey, aren't you in my gym class?
Yadira: Yeah!
Bryce: Uh, why'd you kiss my cheek?
Yadira: Oh, I don't know, you're kind of cute and your brother kinda told me to talk to you.
Bryce: ...only kind of cute?
Yadira: Hmm, I guess you're more than kinda cute.
Bryce: I'll take that!
Bryce: You know.. that kiss was so fast I didn't even feel it.
Yadira: Oh yeah?
Bryce: Yeah, do you think I could get another one?
Yadira: Uhhh, okay!
Charlie: Hey, Ariel! Fancy seeing you here!
Ariel: ...Charlie, you invited me.
Charlie: That's right! It wouldn't be a party without you, cutie!
Ariel: Aw, you don't mean that!
Charlie: Of course I do!
Ariel: No you--what's going on with your sister?
Faye: Hnng... sleepy...
zzz
Ariel: Oh my gosh! Poor thing!
Charlie: OH MY GOD
Everyone else: OMG FAYE
Charlie: FAYE GOD DAMNIT I WAS TALKING TO ARIEL WHY'D YOU COME IN HERE AND RUIN IT I TOLD YOU TO GO TO BED AN HOUR AGO!
(You think you'd be the least bit concerned that she's PASSED OUT ON THE FLOOR.)
After Faye was safely in her bed and everyone had caled down, Charlie went back to wooing Ariel.
Charlie: Anyways, where were we?
Ariel: Hmm, I don't know, I think you were saying how pretty my eyes are...
Charlie: Hmm, now that you mention it, they are really pretty! But... are they green or yellow? It's kinda hard to t--
Ariel: Charlie, what are you doing?
Charlie: What's wrong? I like you! I want to hold your hand... is something wrong?
Ariel: No, nothing's wrong... Just stop trying to get with me, okay?
Charlie: But... why not? I know you're one of my best friends, but... I've always liked you! And... I want to go out with you!
Ariel: Look, you're really sweet and everything, but I think we should just stay friends for now.
Charlie: Why? What's stopping you?
Ariel: I have a boyfriend! Okay?
Charlie: You... do?
Ariel: Yeah...
Charlie: Why didn't you tell me?
Ariel: I didn't wan to hurt you!
Charlie: It's a little late for that. You should probably go home. In fact, everyone should. It's almost 3 am. We have school tomorrow.
Ariel: Wow, Charlie. I didn't expect you to get so freaking upset about this. Were you really only my friend so you could get under my skirt?
Charlie: What? No! And I'm not upset! Well, yeah, I am, but I'm more sad than mad at you! Why'd you let me flirt with you and why'd you flirt back? That's not fair for me, Ariel! Can you... can you just leave? I'll see you tomorrow...
Ariel: Fine. I don't know if I want to see you tomorrow, though. We'll see.
Charlie: Ah... okay....
The next day:
Bryce: You sure you’re okay dude? Mom and dad are gonna be pissed if they find out we didn’t go to school today.
Charlie: Yeah, I’m fine… and you didn’t have to stay home.
Bryce: Yeah I did. I needed to make sure you didn’t do anything stupid.
Charlie: All I wanted to do was sleep! We were up until six this morning cleaning up this place! I was not in the mood to go to school and sleep all day. Mr. Pemdas is gonna kill me if I sleep in Pre-calc again.
Bryce: Everyone else went to school, and they were all up that late.
Bryce: Are you sure this isn’t about Ariel?
Charlie: We’re not talking about her.
Bryce: Come on Char-
Charlie: No.
Faye invited that girl over again.
Girl: Just close your eyes and pretend! You’re married to him and this is your house!
Bryce: What is wrong with that girl?
Charlie: I have no idea.
Charlie: Just ignore her, she’ll have to go home eventually.
Bryce: Heh, I’m right ahead of you. Gonna go play some chess, you game?
Charlie: Sure, just let me finish this and I’ll be out there.
(YOU GUYS ARE SO COOL I SWEAR. CHESS.)
Charlie:: I don't see how this is completely fair though... you're a genius. And you have like, seven logic points.
Bryce: Shh. I just took your bishop. See what happens when you whine?
Drake: Hey, what's the square root of Pi?
Bryce: 1.77245385... to how many digits?
Drake: Uh, nine's fine...
Drake: Man, you didn't even have to think about it. Why can't I be that smart?
Bryce: We can't all be geniuses. Plus, you'll have to memorize it to fifteen digits when you're a junior.
Charlie: got an opportunity that required he catch a fish.
Charlie:: This one will do!
(-snort-)
Drake catching butterflies, just because.
Normally Faye and Elliot bring home ugly kids (ahem, the kid with a grown on his chin in the background) but this girl has spouse potential.
Brotherly bonding ♥
Warning, paparazzi will creep in your window while you sleep.
Emily's birthday! I'm not sure if she's happy or afraid.
Emily: The sparkles are back! Hello, sparkles!
Emily: Oh, no, that's okay, I don't want to go with you!
Emily: I'm old!
Emily: Heh. No one saw me get old... I should use this to my advantage...
Adam: OH MY GOD EMILY THERE'S AN OLD LADY IN HERE AND SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU!
Emily: Heheheh... wait a minute
Emily: DID YOU JUST CALL ME AN OLD LADY!?
Adam: Oh, no, babe! I didn't mean it!
Adam: You know... you're pretty hot for an older woman.
Emily: Don't touch me!
Adam: But, Em!
Emily: You're sleeping on the couch tonight.
Adam: Aww...
But he did.
It's time for another party! A birthday party, in fact!
Charlie got caught setting a booby trap and was put in time out.
Which was probably a good thing, because he didn't have to see Ariel getting motorboated by her boyfriend, Damon.
Ariel: No, no! Don't do that here.
Damon: But babe! You let me--
Ariel: Not here!
As soon as Charlie was free, he took no time getting to them.
Charlie:: What the HELL are you doing in my house Damon!?
Damon: As a matter of fact, Ariel invited me. There’s no way I’m letting her be alone around you anymore, after I heard what happened last time she came over here.
Charlie:: Oh yeah? Well this is my house! There’s no chance in hell you’re staying.
Yadmira: Guys, calm down!
Ariel: Wow Charlie:, you’re pretty hot when you’re angry.
Damon: Yeah, dude, calm down!
Charlie: No, I’m not going to calm down! Get out of my house!
Damon: Okay, Okay! I’ll go. Damn, Ariel isn’t worth this.
Charlie: WHAT!? Ariel is totally worth this! You don’t deserve her!
Damon: Whatever, dude. I’m out of here. You can have her.
Ariel: Wow, what an asshole!
Charlie:: Ariel, I’m so sorry you had to see that!
Ariel: No, no. It’s fine! You’ve totally shown me what a total asshole he is. Plus, it showed me how totally hot you are when provoked…
Ariel: But I gotta go home now! Dad expects me home in an hour so… see you at school tomorrow!
Charlie: didn't have time to argue, because it was time for some birthdays!
(OMG FAYE, Again!?)
Faye:: I did nothing.
Fortunately, Charlie and Adam were able to put the fire out before the flames got too high.
But not before Elliot managed to catch on fire.
Elliot was on fire while he aged up.
He became gorgeous (although stinky)...
and then this happened D:
(ELLIOT BB :( )
Elliot: Hello, Mr. Reaper! I picked this flower for you!
Grim Reaper: Wow! How thoughtful of you! I need to go home and put this in water! I know the perfect vase!
Grim Reaper: But first...
Elliot: Woah! I didn't know you could do this! Awesome!
Elliot: Hey guys, I'm alive!
Elliot: Guys! I'm...
Elliot: Heh, they don't have a clue.
Faye as a teen because I didn't get a picture before. She got the Innapropriate trait, and I traded her good trait for evil, because let's be honest. SHE TRIED TO KILL ELLIOT.
And Bryce as a Young Adult :) He became Lucky.
Adam: Why do I want my daughter to attend your art school? Well, I think she has some anger issues. Yeah, she set her brother on fire on their sixteenth birthday and maybe art will help her with sort out her problems.
Adam: You have an opening? Great!
No regrets.
Elliot didn't come home from school that day, so I went to see what he was up to and he was just sitting outside the school doing his homework. Hokay.
Bryce apparently has his own personal paparazzi, because this dude only watches him.
Charlie is working on his painting skill.
Pretty soon it was time for his birthday!
He and Bryce were the only ones home, Everyone else was out fulfilling opportunities or at work.
Charlie:: Craaaap. Now I have to get a job, don't I?
He developed the easily impressed trait and decided he wanted to be a monster maker.
And I leave you here! Go vote in the heir poll!
