Gen 4 Chapter 39: Another birthday

Wasn't Bumble's party fun? I planned the party for when Blu was at work and he didn't even mind! He hates crowds. It's like the best for everyone!

After the party, the guests finally came inside. Some even stayed all night!

But it was people that Blu likes, so it was ok.

Nemo gave Nova some nice attention. He always did love cats! Not as much as Puzzle does, but still a lot.



Poor Margo, though. I guess that invisible plate was just too scary. I don't blame her, invisible dishes can be sneaky.



After everyone had gone home, the kids and BOB went to sleep (well, BOB napped in the nursery... he's so responsible)! Blu and I decided to work on our skills.

I sculpted. I'm getting very good at it!



And Blu worked out. He's very good at that. I think that he's close to a promotion at work, too!



Sculpting cats. Does it get any better?



Suddenly, it was Yeti's birthday! I decided that the party went so well last time, I should do it again!

I think it's so cool that Blu and I have figured out a way that both of us can enjoy parties (his way is being somewhere else!). And I don't even mind when that "friend" of his crashes the party anymore!

Since the water slide was popular last time, I decided to have a pool party.

We don't have a pool because those are dangerous, but it I love swim wear!



One of our guests made it into the house this time! And she brought an actual visible plate of food this time!

I think my parties just keep getting better and better.



Time for candles!



I can't believe that my little girl is going to be such a big kid now!



Oh, I see! The guests decided to hang out just inside the door this time instead of just outside! And someone else brought the invisible food. Traditions are important.

I'd also like to point out that my brother Nemo is quite the ladies man! He's dated through half of the town, I think, plus many surrounding communities!

The women just flock to him!

I think he might have a problem with commitment.



Anyway, here's my Yeti. Isn't she beautiful?



You know what's bittersweet? Ever since I found out that I was pregnant with Yeti, I wanted to share it with my mom but she died before I even got a chance to tell her... but Yeti is a brave girl and it looks like she'll get a chance to share secrets with her grandma after all!



***************
A/N: Yeti got the overemotional trait for her birthday since neither parent was particularly interested in skilling her (her other traits are slob and eccentric). Ariel did finally roll a wish to teach Yeti to walk, but she rolled it after she'd planned the party and there wasn't enough time. I wonder if either of them will want to teach Bumble or the new baby anything! It was nice that Gwyn came to see Yeti on her birthday, though. Yeti immediately made wishes to interact with ghost-Gwyn... maybe she'll be a ghost buster when she grows up!


Outtake!

Toddler Yeti looks a little mean here.


Blu can't possible get into the house, the lamp is in his way!


Bonehilda has been having impure thoughts about Blu lately. She's called him at least 3 times to ask him out and I keep getting those "I'd like to get to know you better" pop-ups. Hands off, Boney! (Though it would be kind of interesting to explore that kind of relationship sometime, just not with Blu!)


Poor BOB shorted out on his way to work. He got fired for missing work after this. I guess Ariel is relying on him a bit too much! Then again, when I tell him to go to bed, he usually chooses to nap in the rocking chair in the nursery so it's kind of his own fault!


Party people gather outside.


Ariel is doing the dishes (probably in an attempt to impress Gwyn because Ariel never does the dishes), but she seems to be doing it wrong!
