And I, I can let my life pass me by

Or I can get down and try

Work it all out this lifetime

Work it all out this time

Maxwell

Imara loved nature. She loved animals. She loved her ant farm. But none of these things got her any friends. The other kids thought she was weird, they thought her twin sister Imani was cooler than her......what was weird about loving ants?

Differences

Round 5 - Spring 2036 - Mini-Update

Last update/ Next update
Celeste and Satitu Oros are 25, Starema Orionious is 125

My whole life has changed, since you came in

I knew back then

You were that special one, I'm so in love

So deep in love

You made my life complete, you are so sweet

No one competes

Glad you came into my life, You blind me with you love

With you I have no sight

Ginuwine

Celeste was simply in love with the new house she and Satitu had purchased. It was located in Lorrington and was big enough for the two of them and Starema. There was even room for a kid or two..........

Last update/ Next update/ Kayla, Tippy, Mindi/ Kenny, Brian, Slade
Kenny Coners, Brian Johnson, Slade Willis, Kayla Knowles, Tippy Dean, Casey Addler, and Mindi Mason are 21, Taesha Foster and Gordon Nott are 19

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to do

So make the best of this test, and don't ask why

It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right

I hope you had the time of your life....

Green Day

"Dude, why are you still wearing that? Aren't you hot?" Brian asked.

"We're about to graduate, do you realize that? I may not take this thing off until after graduation!"

"You look like the Grim Reaper! Go take that off! Not cool, man. Not cool."

Round 5 - Spring 2036

Last update/ Next update
Christian and Alana Brown are 39, Christa is 10, Aidan and Hayden are 2

So for a while now, I've kept in mind

Cuz what they say is true

That you are of the essence, down to the very last second

And I'm so glad, that I've grown, to respect you.

Time waits for nothing,

And everything is going to take it's time.......

Musiq

Alana was waaay past tired and the day was just beginning! It was hell running after two toddler boys and trying to come up with new recipes for her restaurant. She loved being a mother more than anything, but it was beginning to wear her down.......

Lorelai had really enjoyed this school year, but she was also really ready for summer vacation! The kids were becoming a bit restless and everyone seemed to feel the strain of the year. Her third graders were always pretty well behaved, though.

Overjoyed

Round 5 - Winter 2035

Joe Carr is 40, Ariel is 34, Kayden is 6, Javion is 4

And though you don't believe that they do

They do come true

For did my dreams

Come true when I looked at you

And maybe too if you would believe

You too might be

Overjoyed, over loved, over me

Stevie Wonder

Ariel and Joe decided that it was time that they had a family trip out together. Since they were still paying off the loan on their house, they couldn't really take a big vacation. So they decided to take the boys to the new National History Center downtown. It would be fun for them and also educational.

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 5 - Winter 2035

Tessa was out laying on the beach when her water broke. It had been an unseasonably warm winter and she was enjoying it.......but baby de Muse was ready to enter the world....

Keisha and Tanner Knowles are 47, Kali Knowles is 8 (Kevin and Kinsley Knowles are 29, Ryan is 3, Ricki is 2, Kayla is 21, Tabitha Coners is 45, Terrence is 44, Imani is 8)

Where's your gavel? Your jury?

What's my offense this time?

You're not a judge but if you're going to judge me

Then sentence me to another life....

Paramore

It was the very beginning of winter and Tanner was trying to find new ways to relax. There was a counterfit ring going on around LaQuest and his vice squad duties had doubled. To say he was stressed was an understatement! So he had taken up bug collecting. Keisha couldn't understand it and refused to take part in it, but he and Kali had developed a bond over their bug hunting expeditions.

Taesha Foster and Gordon Nott are 19, Kayla Knowles, Kenny Coners, Brian Johnson, Mindi Mason, Tippy Dean, Casey Addler, Slade Willis are 21 (Tabitha Coners is 45, Terrence is 44, Keisha and Tanner Knowles are 47)

So I pray more than anything, friends we'll stay

As we begin to lay this foundation for a family

Love ain't simple, why can't it be?

Anything worth having you work at annually

Granted we've known each other for some time

It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine

Common

Taesha and Gordon were really getting along very well. More than she would have ever thought possible. She never really paid him much attention when he would come over to her house to play video games. It was funny how you could overlook something so easily.......

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 5 - Fall 2035

Tessa was still finding it hard to believe that she was pregnant! She only had a few months to go before she gave birth and she was getting a little nervous........

Don't Change

Round 5 - Fall 2035

Last update/ Next update
Donna Foster is 51, DeJuan is 48 (Ryan Knowles is 3, Ricki is 2, Kevin is 29)

I'll love you when your hair turns gray

I'll still love you if you gain a little weight

The way I feel for you will always be the same

Just as long as your love don't change

Musiq

Donna was suffering from empty nest syndrome. It was bad enough when Brian went off to college, but now that Taesha was gone too, Donna found herself missing having them around. Brian had already decided that he and his bandmates were going to rent an apartment together after graduation and Taesha still had two more years to go. She didn't know what she was suppose to do with herself now......

Heaven

Round 5 - Fall 2035

Last update/ Next update
Kevin and Kinsley Knowles are 29, Ryan is 3, Ricki is 2 (Keisha Knowles is 47)

I've never lived my days like this

I wake up in the morning, she greets me with a kiss

The Lord has gifted me with such happiness

Said it feels like heaven, ooohhhh heaven

I got heaven right here on Earth....

Solo

Ryan and Ricki were the best kids that anyone could ask for........well, they were sometimes! In those few quite hours when they would play together with no problems, Kinsley couldn't love them anymore........

Playing God

Round 5 - Summer 2035

Last update/ Next update
Derick Pace is 42, Charity Jones is 27

You don't have to believe me

But the way I, way I see it

Next time you point finger I may have to bend it back

Or break it, break it off

Next time you point a finger, I'll point you to a mirror

Paramore

Derrick Pace was pissed. He didn't know what was going on with Tessa's husband, but he knew something wasn't right! He couldn't remember everything, but he did remember stopping by her house and getting into an argument with her and her freak of a husband. Next thing he knew, he woke up at his club with his staff telling him that he had been clucking like a chicken! Something wasn't right with that guy.........

Happy Birthday To Ya!

Round 5 - Summer 2035

No birthdays this time but I thought we would check in with the moms-to-be. These two will be giving birth to little bundles of joy in the fall:

Jessica Picaso is excited about her and Matthew's new arrival. She's excited, but it doesn't seem that he is. She's hoping that will change once he sees their new baby. They've moved to a new house in Fort LaQuest and he had been working such long hours that she hadn't really seen much of him.

She was worried but she didn't want to let that affect her happiness about having a baby.......she just knew that he would come around once he saw the baby.......that was her hope.........

Things are going much smoother over at the White household and Marshal and Shamella can't wait to meet their babies.....that's right, BABIES! These two are having twins! They are currently living in a two bedroom apartment that might become a little cramped once the twins are older, but they are ok for now.

* We'll see more of what Matthew Picaso has been up to in the next up date. I think it's safe to say he's just creepy no matter whose hood he is in!

* Another set of twins! This will make 4 sets when I include my nonplayable playabe Phillippine family in the mix. I'm hoping that at least one of these two will be a boy so that the white name can carry on! But I'm also running short on girls right now :(

Everything To Me

Round 5 - Summer 2035

Corbin and Amanda Gray are 38, Connor is 2, Alex is 1

I can't repay you for all that you've done

Always come first and second to none

The love that you give me is equal to ten

my peace, my joy

you are my, my strength

Monica

Connor had become the best of friends with his younger brother Alex. Amanda had been worried that it would be a little weird for Connor since Alex looked more like her and Corbin. But it didn't seem to bother him and he was perfectly content with their little family.

Round 5 - Spring 2035 - LBU

Last update/ Next update
Kenny Coners, Brian Johnson, Mindi Mason, Slade Willis, Kayla Knowles, Tippy Dean, and Casey Addler are 20, Taesha Foster is 18

I just want to hold her hand, be her man

I want to know if she'd take a chance

Cause I still have not revealed it

Cause I still get the feeling

That loving her is a game I'll always lose

I've got the brown eyed blues...

Adrian Hood

Brian never knew he could feel this way about someone. Mindi was the coolest chick he had ever met and he was so glad that he was with her. Sure, at one point all he wanted was to get laid, but things had changed and he truly cared about her now......he did enjoy woohooing with her though.......

Shattered, Part II

Round 5 - Spring 2035 - Vasadori

Last update/ Next update
Tessa de Muse is 38, Elvin is 42

In a way, I need a change
From this burnout scene
Another time, another town

Another everything

But it's always back to you

Shattered, O.A.R.

It was beautiful. She didn't know what she expected when Elvin suggested she come to Vasadori to talk about their future. She didn't even know elves existed up until a few months ago, so she most definitely had never considered what their home may look like......but it was beautiful.......

Never Knew I Needed

Celeste Sky is 25, Satitu Oros is 62, Starema Orionious is 160, Totia Yidida is 54

It's the conclusion, so of course it's a bit long :)

Celeste had definitely not been looking forward to this meeting. She knew that King Rolared would want to know her decision. She really hated her conversations with him.
"So Celeste Sky, have you made a decision? Will you be staying here with us? Or are you returning to the humans?" he asked.
"Yes, your Highness, I have made my decision."
"Well, let's have a seat then," he said gesturing toward the couch.

Scandalous Scholastics

Round 5 - Spring 2035 - East High School
Next update
Principal - Kip Henderson
Grade 7: Sophie Miguel, Ricky London; Grade 9: Caleb Henderson, Ricky Cormier, Meadow Thayer, Ginger Newson

It was the first day of school at East High and the students were pretty excited about the new school. It was a shame that they would actually have to LEARN while they were here......they would much rather just enjoy being in the new building.......
