Rigel Duty: Epilogue (Part II)- One Kingdom (April 27) COMPLETE

I feel so bad for the spares, at least Skye and Mars already have a large family they won't feel left out.

I feel so bad for the spares, at least Skye and Mars already have a large family they won't feel left out.

Same here. I always try to allow the spares to get some love before kicking them out

Chapter 55- Two More Out the Door

Skye and Mars were ready to age up again following their tutoring sessions.



First up was Skye.





Followed by Mars.







Right after their birthdays, it was right back to studying.







I couldn't help at all with the tutoring because that was one of Great Grandpa Orion's skill challenges so I headed upstairs to work on some more sculptures. I decided to start working on some topiary sculptures.



The next morning, Skye and Mars were aging up for the final time.







Here is Skye. Her final traits were Artistic, Hates the Outdoors, Never Nude, Heavy Sleeper and Kleptomaniac.



She decided that she wanted to become an Illustrious Author.



Mars followed his twin sister for his final birthday too.









Here is Mars. His final traits were Slob, Loves the Outdoors, Eco Friendly, Equestrian and Socially Awkward.



Mars decided to follow in his big sister Leia's footsteps and Become an Astronaut.



Things quieted down for a day or two until Chana and I received confirmation that we were expecting once again.



Hopefully we'll get the heir this time...

[Nettlejuice]

Wow, the twins' traits would have made them interesting Sims to play had they been the heir.

Wow, the twins' traits would have made them interesting Sims to play had they been the heir.

The thing I didn't notice until I posted them one after another was that they were so different. Despite being twins, their traits were complete opposites 


Chapter 56- Fifth (and Sixth) Time's the Charm

At this point in time, Chana and I had a routine down when it came to impending nooboos. As soon as the labor pains hit, we were off to the hospital.



Also at this point in time, we were not surprised when we discovered that we were expecting twins. We had twin girls. Elara was born first. Her traits were Absent-Minded and Hates the Outdoors.



Mira was born second. Her traits were Neurotic and Excitable.



The thing that did surprise us about our girls? They were both genies! Both Elara and Mira were eligible to become the next heir to the dynasty. Needless to say, everyone in the family was thrilled that the dynasty plans were back on track.





The family nearly fought each other to spend time with the girls.



We were excited to be able to enjoy their baby days without having to rush through them to age up the girls, like we were forced to do with their siblings. However, their birthdays did come rather quickly but we were still looking forward to seeing what the girls looked like. Elara went first.





Followed by Mira.





Here is Elara. She looks pretty much like me, except she is a little more pale, like Great Grandpa Orion.



Chana got started with Elara on her skills while I went to get Mira dressed in her new outfit.





Here is Mira. She is all Chana.



Unlike me, Mira didn't seem to really have a fondness of art.





It really didn't matter because both girls were making excellent progress on their skill requirements. Then again, after doing with so many times with their siblings, how could we not be pros at this?







Even though the girls looked completely different, they did have many things in common, like their favorite color.



And the fact that they were both unbelievably cute.

Finally!

Instead of spoiling this again by looking at your HoF entry (I forget the details by now), I'm going to root for Mira. I like Elara's looks a smidge better, but Mira's blue and shares a name with a darling baby cousin of mine.

[Nettlejuice]

Woo, finally! I don't know which girl to vote for.

[dontmindme]

As cute as Elara is, I have to side with the blueboo. Go, Mira!

Two votes for Mira!

Woo, finally! I don't know which girl to vote for.

Don't worry, you'll have a couple of chapters before you have to decide 


Chapter 57- Even More Toddler Training

Chana and I were definitely pros at the whole toddler training thing so the grandparents wanted in on some of the skilling.



Dad worked with Elara on learning to walk.





And Great Grandpa Orion worked with Mira.





Once the girls had down walking, talking and how to potty, it was time for them to move on to learning their two toddler skills. They seemed to have a lot of fun with this requirement.



Elara and Mira maxed out their skills in no time, so they were able to age up into children the following day. Elara, the older twin, went first.













After Elara, it was Mira's turn.











Here is Elara.



She gained the Athletic trait.



And here is Mira.



She gained the Clumsy trait.



While Mira and Elara were being tutored for school, we rearranged their bedroom. Thankfully, the girls were good friends and still wanted to share a bedroom.



Hopefully they would stay that way as they grew older and it came time to decide who would become the next heir...

[KRae]

Wow, their traits are so different from each other. I'd go with the clumsy, blue-skinned blonde (who isn't absent-minded).

[Nettlejuice]

I'm leaning towards Elara, just those eyes have drawn me in.

Three votes for Mira!

I'm leaning towards Elara, just those eyes have drawn me in.

And one vote for Elara!


Chapter 58- A Surprising Character Development

Chana and I were honest with our girls from the very moment that they could understand all about the dynasty. They both knew that they were both eligible to become the heir and that it was not a competition between them. Thankfully, the girls definitely understood that much and were the best of friends. It was great to know that Mira had Elara to lean on and vice versa while working on their requirements.



So, apparently, burglars haven't realized that you can't exactly get into our house because we have an alarm and all, but that didn't stop them from attempting to gain access to our house.



We all went downstairs and outside to see what the disturbance was and I'm pretty sure that all of our jaws dropped to the ground when we saw who was making all of the commotion. Dad- my Dad, who is refined and a bit unstable- was fighting the burglar!



I guess maybe it's his rebellious streak? Regardless, Dad didn't exactly...win. Instead the burglar firmly kicked his scales and nearly put his head through the gate.



And then Dad proceeded to have a panic attack. Go figure.



Well, since it was early morning and we'd all be getting up for the day in a few hours anyway, we all decided to just stay up and start the day extra early. Chana got to work with Elara on her homework.



And Great Grandpa Orion worked with Mira on hers.



After school, the girls worked on their homework together.



The last thing that the girls had to do before they could age up again into teens was to complete an opportunity. Chana and I signed the girls up for an after school activity, but let them decide which one. They came to an agreement on ballet.



I guess they got their love of performing from their Mother.





Chana had been asked to be a regular performer at one of the local hotspots. Of course she agreed and we all tried to attend her shows for a little family fun night out.





After Chana's performance, we all went home to celebrate the girls' birthdays. They were going to be aging up into teens.



Elara, the oldest, went first.







Mira went second.









Here is Elara.



She gained the Hopeless Romantic trait.



And here is Mira.



She gained the Hot-Headed trait.

[wa-wa-world]

Both girls are super adorable, I can't decide which one I like better 

[Nettlejuice]

I'm sticking with Elara, I just love hopeless romantics. Geez, those burglars 

[Malley]

You've still got some time to decide 

I'm sticking with Elara, I just love hopeless romantics. Geez, those burglars 

I was more surprised that Pisces went out and fought the burglar. He was the last one that I would expect to do something like that.


Chapter 59- The Teenage Years

While Mira was making herself a new outfit, Elara got a head start on heading out to the mausoleum to apply for a job there as a cemetery worker.



Just as Elara finished her application, Mira was right there to fill out her own.



The girls didn't start their new jobs until the next day so they spent some time working on their studies. Oh what fun.









Once they were done with that, the girls then turned their attentions to doing something fun that they liked. Elara was athletic so she started working out.



Mira, on the other hand, was not as coordinated so she opted for something a little bit safer than working out: playing with chemicals and other potentially explosive ingredients.



While Chana enjoyed her work as a magician, she decided that she wanted to try her hand at something else. So, she gave up performing and joined the regular work force.



Of course, while Chana and I were out at work, Elara and Mira decided to tackle one of their requirements. They apparently didn't want Mom and Dad around to see this one.



The girls decided to take care of their romantic interest requirement. There were only four students in school and Mira and Elara were two of them. That left one student for each girl. They were both girls, strangely enough. I don't recall this being an all girls school...







Mira immediately broke it off with her romantic interest, who was completely okay with it. She had commitment issues anyway, so it was for the best.



Elara's romantic interest didn't take it so well.





No one ever said that completing your requirements would be easy.

[Nettlejuice]

All girls' school, lol. Chana is still working hard, though if I were her I wouldn't give up the magician gigs but as a Watcher it does get tiring having to manage active careers when heirs are around.
