Ch. 3: Just Chillin' and Skillin'After the first couple of eventful days, the family was relieved to settle into a routine. It was a strict routine, without much relaxation, but everyone knew there was a goal. Peregrine was still in the dark about Pocahontas's aspiring immortality. The romance was so sudden that it just hadn't come up. Luckily, Peregrine enjoyed skills that Pocahontas needed to utilize for her challenge.
Ana's schedule consisted of cooking, reading cookbooks, and functioning and the family alchemist. Pocahontas's garden was growing slowly, but Ana made use of what ingredients she had and used them in both cooking and alchemy.
Peregrine took a liking to Ana's Invigorating Potions. They were bitter, but they gave him such a boost of energy!
Grace spent a lot of time searching for collectibles. Among her most amazing finds included three tiberium. Ana cut it up in the gem machine. The gem dust, when set outside of inventory, also grew into a full-sized tiberium. This gave the family a total of six tiberium and way too much money to count. All hail the tiberium!
Meeko and Mia spent a lot of time exploring. At night, they would venture to the graveyard together to fish. Neither had caught the elusive Deathfish yet, but they still had plenty of time and many opportunities.
In the meantime, they loved to play with each other. These two kitties were exactly alike.
When Ana did have free time, she finished teaching Alen his toddler skills.
Pocahontas helped on the side, but she found herself playing with him more than teaching him. He was just such a cute nooboo, and she enjoyed making him giggle and smile.
Poor Alen was not the brightest crayon in the box. A xylophone was purchased for him but he never quite figured out how to use it. To him, the xylophone made a good chair and the mallet an excellent teething ring. This possibly could just mean he was brilliantly creative. Let's go with that.
Pocahontas's garden was coming along slowly. She still hadn't grown a life fruit, but she had confidence that one would sprout up soon. Speaking of spouting, Pocahontas was hoping to have something sprouting in her belly sometime soon. During a night of romance, Pocahontas made sure to slap her Woohooium for good luck.
The luck paid off because she soon became pregnant.
Additionally, Alen aged up into a child.
He gained the trait Artistic and found himself at the easel while Peregrine took up sculpting and photography instead.
While out in her garden one morning, Pocahontas went into labor. She rushed inside and soon delivered a pale-skinned baby girl, Rapunzel.
Everything was going well in the Queen household, but Pocahontas had something urgent to discuss with Grandmother Willow. She snuck out late in the night to make sure she was alone.
Grandmother Willow never appeared.
