This chapter is manly about getting to know the potential heirs so Iolite and Benzaldehyde will not be showing much. As children were growing up and required less care, they had some time for themselves. In other words, I couldn’t keep them out of the bedroom.
My apologies for a huge update but I really wanted for all the potentials to get their time to grow on you.

Leucine, the last toddler of the family, was probably the hardest to handle. She was always asking for attention and never wanted to play on her own.
Family tried to keep her busy as much as they could.
Leucine: Sing, sing, sing!!!

Not long and it was time for her to grow up into a child too.

Post makeover pics. Hmmmm, not bad I guess. Not as handsome as her other siblings but not bad. I guess maxis genetic algorithms were bit tired of my demands for beautiful children.

The relationship between these two was off to a shaky start.
Anethole: Sis, you suck at this game!
Leucine: Oh shut up, like you could do better.

Other sibling pair didn’t have those problems. They were BFFL from childhood. And Glycine decided to paint a portrait of his sister.

First day of school and Leucine brought a friend home. Meet Nickel. They seemed quite friendly toward each other.

Shiro: Would you kindly explain to your little friend that my food bowl is not to be messed with?

Glycine and Cysteine also brought some friends home. I decided they should be allowed to explore the joys of teenage life.
Glycine brought Opal and even though they were getting along just fine he was not interested in anything more than that. Truly his father’s son, that one.
Cysteine also absolutely refused to get involved with Pyrite.

Reasons for that became apparent very soon.
Cysteine: Isn’t she gorgeous? Just look at that purple hair.

As it happened the feeling was mutual. Good for you Cysteine. I don’t really have many teens to choose from in this hood.
Cysteine: Does this means I get my first kiss?

Lillany: It sure does. You go girl!

Awww. So cute.

Lisetite was quite bumped about how things were developing between Cysteine and Opal. She had a serious crush on Cysteine.

Meanwhile Leucine and Anethole were bonding with neighborhood strays if not with each other.
Anethole also had a want to have a telescope. I couldn’t help but to comply with that.

He was quite ecstatic about it. I had to force him to eat and sleep he wouldn’t leave it. Though truth be told he was showing talent at it.

In further attempts to comply with wants of potential heirs, Cysteine got her date with Opal.
They owned the dance floor. One way or the other.

And the hotel room. Cysteine has rather smug look on her face, you have to agree.

Lillany: One dream date as requested honey.
And they’re going steady now.

First thing she did upon returning home was to go and tuck Anethole in.
Cysteine: Hey little brother… You know what? I’m in love. And I have a girlfriend.

In post woohoo and I have a girlfriend mood Cysteine decided to return the favor to her brother and painted his portrait.

It was so rare to have them all share a meal together, I just had to take a picture.
Cysteine: Pancakes again? How ‘bout some chilly?

Relationship between Anethole and Leucine is going from bad to worse with every interaction they have.
Leucine: I’m the youngest so I’m the baby of the family. You’re a middle child. You’re nobody.

Anethole: I hate you!

Leucine decided to enjoy some winter activities and make a snowman. Big surprise, it was evil snowman.

Anethole: I just hate her. She’s always so mean to me.

Anethole: I’m older than you and I’ll kick your ass next time you mess with me.
Leucine: In your dreams kid.

Not much surprise there. Anethole also made an evil snowman.

And then he destroyed his sister’s one.
Anethole: Have that!!! Saying I’m not important. This will show her.

Since he’s a Knowledge/Fortune sim, Glycine was not very much into romance and his wants were mainly about getting into university and applying for scholarship, so it was a bit of a challenge to present him to you. The only want I was able to satisfy was the one about making money. Since he has very high creativity score I decided he should try his luck with playing music.
He is really good.

After his performance he tried to fit in by lurking on the edge of the crowd and decided to drink some beer from the keg.

Lillany: Uhmmm …. I’m not sure streaking will make you fit in honey. You’re not in university yet.

I just love interactions that happen when they all get drunk.
Glycine: Why mister Corondum. I’m flattered. But don’t you think it would be a bit weird. I go to school with your kids.

Trying his luck with the drums. He looks satisfied.

Glycine: Yesss… money!!!!

Celebration by heavy drinking.

Glycine: Ma’am would you do me the honor of becoming my sponsor?
Topaz: Get the hell out of here kid. I was roommates with your mum before she got married to your father. I know your tricks. You just want a baby producing machine.
Glycine: And a sponsor!

Sometimes I’m almost sorry that these drunken marriage proposals always have a negative response. Or do they? What if sims in question are in love?

As an encouragement for his money making attempts I decided to reward him with…. This thing, whatever it’s called.

Anethole had misfortune of walking in on his parents while they were “bonding” for who knows what time that day. They really are insatiable beasts.
Anethole: You do realize I’m scarred for life now, don’t you?

And it was Anethole’s time to hit the teen years.
Anethole: I wish the picture of my parents woohooing does not make me impotent.

And there he is. Chubby little fellow.

That left only Leucine. Game on highest speed….

Ups, to fast. Didn’t make it to the cake.

Leucine: Yey! I’m big enough to beat people up now.

No improvement in their relationship. Still hate each other’s guts.

At least Anethole has the decency to feel bad about it. Maybe some companionship would make him feel better.

Lisetite: You know I have the hots for your sister don’t you?
Anethole: I don’t mind. As long as you have the hots for me too.
Much more flirting and backrubs and joking later…

Anethole: I’ve never been kissed before, you know? Wanna do the honors?

Lisetite: Why, don’t mind if I do.

Of course Leucine had to show up to spoil the moment.
Leucine: You’re so lame!!! Going steady with a girl that still has the hots for your sister. Loser!!!!

Anethole: Back off, you bitch. At least I have someone. Who will ever like you, mean as you are?!

Fortunately being accustomed to fighting with Leucine her comments didn’t affect him much. He sneaked Lisetite into his parents’ bedroom.

Anethole: Who’s the man? Who’s the man? That’s right….. I‘m the MAN!!!!

Glycine: I know what you did there. Smooth moves. Congratulations brother.
Anethole: (giggles)

Leucine: Get out of my way you moron!

Anethole: Look … why don’t you just leave me alone? I don’t like you. You don’t like me. Why don’t we just ignore each other?

Or not?
Anethole: Take that you bitch.

Leucine: I can’t believe he just beat me up!!! Agrh I hate him so much! I’ll have my revenge…..

Anethole is still rather obsessed with his telescope.
Cysteine: Don’t you know that you’re risking alien abduction? And if they take you, they’ll put you in a machine and scan your brains.

Anethole: You really think there are aliens up there?
Benzaldehyde: Could be, son. I heard stories.
Cysteine: Don’t worry. I won’t let them take you. I dug up a hole. It’s a trap. If they show up we’ll abduct them. And scan their brains.

Leucine not willing to share her brother’s interest in astronomical phenomena resorted to hunting some bugs.
Conclusion: Not even bugs like her.

Fortunately escaping the bugs she continued her stream of mischief by pulling a prank on her sister.

Cysteine returned the favor.

Anethole made a habit of sneaking Lisetite into his parents’ bedroom.

Leucine: I’m so telling. You brat!!!

Leucine: He likes Lisetite, maybe I could turn her against him?

Leucine: You know he’s messing with other girls don’t you. Just the other day I saw him pulling a move on Opal.
Lisetite: Back off girlfriend… Anethole warned me about you.

When Anethole heard what happened, another fight was on.
Shiro: You know those two are really becoming a problem. How can a cat get a decent nap with them fighting every five minutes?

Finally Benzaldehyde decided to intervene and encourage them to be nicer to each other.
Iolite: My hubby is so awesome!!! He can encourage people to niceness. I wanna make out with him.
Lillany: Le gasp! Like not getting your hands off each other isn’t the only thing you’ve been doing this entire chapter.

Benzaldehyde was not successful, I’m afraid. Still hissing at each other.

Bit pissed off for being lectured Leucine decided to tinker a bit.

Oops…. Notice how Anethole is enjoying himself?
Luckily she was all right, the only thing hurt was her pride.

I think it’s high time to bring this to an end. Picture count is really high.
I hope you liked it. I hope you have your favorites.
