Thank you both. It really is nice to know people are rooting for me.
Well, I must say something strange happened today. Apollo's bed was thinking about how it wasn't keen on children. I mean, really? A bed thinking?
The business people called about a stone sculpture to feature on their building, and there was no way I could turn that down. Ryssa continues to keep the fridge stocked with meals, Apollo works hard at discovering potions, and Sofia goes out to find gems, rocks and metals during the day, while Amy continues to paint and see to the garden. Things are coming along nicely, and Ryssa is doing so well with her cooking, I have no doubt she'll get promotions quicker than you know. Apollo also continues to get surprised when potions go awry, I am starting to get used to the sounds when it happens.
Ryssa's friend from school came over, Floyd Watson.
Not bad looking, if I say so myself, but Ryssa already has her heart set on Apollo it seems. Although she did choose to sit near Floyd instead of Apollo while they all did their homework. Apollo immediately set to work on a book he'd been asked to read for school, he is such a good lad and it would be a shame if Ryssa broke his heart. I think they must all have forgotten about prom, as they seemed surprised when the limo honked outside.
Oh, I am so proud of my baby girl, she was voted Prom Queen, and Apollo was voted Prom King. How amazing is that?
*Prom events
Ryssa revealed that she likes Apollo a lot. Apollo was so happy that he couldn't wipe the smile off his face.
Wow! Ryssa really made a good impression on Apollo with some epic dance moves.
Apollo is really charming Ryssa. She hasn't left his side the entire evening.
Ryssa is definitely impressing Apollo with the chicken dance. Apollo started doing it too! This duo is really hitting it off.
Apollo and Ryssa were inseparable. They are definitely hitting it off and possibly the cutest couple at the dance.
Ryssa and Apollo were the dynamic duo of the dance. Everyone was copying their moves and checking out their styles. There is definitely some chemistry there.
Ryssa is having a great time and is starting to have strong feelings for Apollo.
Ryssa has been getting Apollo punch the entire night and making sure he is having a good time. Ryssa's attention to detail is making a good impression on Apollo.*
Well, the pair sure enjoyed themselves, and I am so relieved neither of them got into any fights. It does a man proud to know his daughter had a good time at prom without anything going wrong. And it seems as if Melody, the third laundry gnome, has taken a liking to sitting on top of the dryer.
Hmm. When I checked the fishing park's level on the computer, I saw it was only level one, so it's going to take some work. While I was online I also bought the grocery store, no work needed there thankfully. I feel like I am going to be cutting it very close when it comes to the grim and death. For now though, we need to build our funds in a big way, I just hope it isn't like this all throughout the generations.
So we come up to the day before my birthday, Amy decided to have a wander round and collect some special seeds, while Sofia was fishing at the park I bought. I continue painting, wanting to get this new portrait of Sofia done before I become an elder. I had done a portrait of Ryssa but it was all fuzzy, and I don't want that for my darling daughter so I didn't even think to add it to the museum. I am going to take the next opportunity I can to get another portrait of her, luckily I still have several days before she graduates to get her teen portrait. Amy already got one of Apollo.
I think Amy is hoping to find some life fruit seeds, to be ready for when, or even if, I need Ambrosia. Sofia already has the deathfish needed, and I am hoping either Amy or Ryssa can prepare the dish when it is required. Only time will tell though, won't it?
Apollymi: You will get there, my son.
Acheron: I hope so mother. I truly do, and now I am much closer to fulfilling the requirements, it does seem more likely.
Apollymi: I have complete faith in you Apostolos.
Acheron: I won't let you down, I promise.
Apollymi: I know you won't.
As mother's mental presence retreated the kids returned home, with the news that they had both gotten on the honour roll. I cannot convey in words how happy and proud I am to have heard that news. After finishing my portrait of Sofia, I relaxed on the bed and read about inventing, it's the only skill left that I need to fulfill my lifetime wish. Things couldn't be going better right now although it will still be close, as the fishing park needs some upgrading, which I'm thinking it going to take quite some work. Not only that, but getting more best friends isn't going to be that easy. Anyway, we are all in bed around the same time, getting rest ready for my birthday tomorrow.
