Matty: So, you see, Kirby, this is why I have to be such a terrible boyfriend. I have to help out this dynasty that rests on the tiny shoulders of that glorious little girl.
Kirby: You mean the one eating the blocks?
Matty: Umm...yeah...
Pippin: And speaking of that glorious girl, she plays so nicely with her sisters.
Ellavine: No, bad bebis! Dees blocks for Edabeen!
Purnella: We wun play too, Elly!
Ellavine: No call Eddy! Me Edabeen!
Gianelle: Om a wabbit! Hop hop hop!
Pippin: And so, our girls continued to grow and learn, Rafael continued to work, Polly continued to nurture the children, and Matty...
Pippin: kept doing his thing. Kirby is the most understanding woman in the Simverse.
Polly: And in more important news, it is finally time for my babies to age up!
Pippin: Strategy time. Ellavine ages up early in the morning thanks to the magic of the cake.
Pippin: She looks excited. She must know this gives her all day to play and enjoy being a child.
Ellavine: Yeah, an all day forced intellectual march through tutoring is so much fun. Thanks, Pippin.
Pippin: You're welcome. Then, the other girls had their turns to age up. First was Purnella,
Pippin: who inherited her mother's hair. Then Gianelle,
Pippin: who got her father's hair. No idea where Ellavine got her hair, but it is rather outstanding. And of course, since the girls are no longer toddlers, it was time to make over their room.
Ellavine: And to finally get rid of the cage?
Pippin: Oh, umm, yeah...
Pippin: Bunks for the spares, a loft for the heir, a desk for their academic pursuits, and a dresser for their fashion needs.
Ellavine: And an actual wall and door.
Pippin: Yes, that too. And Matty has been continuing to do what he does, though he now asks to just be friends immediately afterwards.
Matty: It's the closest I can come to being faithful to Kirby while still filling my role in this dynasty.
Pippin: That's sweet, in a sick sort of way. Regardless, seeing Cressida do the heartbroken strut is fairly amusing...and apparently exhausting.
Purnella: Looks like Uncle Matty's friend is sleepy. I wonder why all of his friends are girls?
Gianelle: Well,
we're girls, and we're awesome, so that probably made him want more friends who were girls.
Purnella: That makes sense.
Pippin: But something in the house wasn't making sense to poor Raf.
Rafael: Grrr, who did this?!?!?
Rafael: Argh, I don't have time for all these pranks!
Ellavine: A mystery prankster is plaguing our community? I must look into this.
Ellavine: Uncle Matty, who rather suspiciously is not actually related to us, has had lots of friends over, and they often end up heading into the bathroom, maybe I should keep an eye on them.
Matty: Hi, Kirby sweetie, I love you so much.. Hug our girls for me. I'll swing by to see you all soon.
Cressida: BLARGH!
Ellavine: Oh, well, that's gross, but it's not pranking. Hear my words, Mystery Prankster, I will find you!
Pippin: But time passed, by which we mean a couple of days, and no prankster had been caught, though the prankster's favorite target experienced something else that was colorful.
Gianelle: Why is daddy all shiny?
Purnella: Pixie dust! Run for your lives!!
Pippin: And Polly also had a visit from the "pixies," (as did Matty, though I seem to be lacking a picture of that)
Pippin: and before long, the girls had "pixie dust" tie of their own. It started with Gianelle,
Pippin: then moved on to Purnella,
Pippin: and finally, our heiress, Ellavine.
Pippin: What are you dong outside this late at night, Elly?
Ellavine: It's Ellavine, not Elly! And I'm looing for clues. I will put the Mystery Prankster's reign of terror to an end!
Pippin: Umm...okay then. So, let's look at our lovely teen girls. First, Ellavine not Elly.
Pippin: Now Gianelle, a bit closer up as I think her eyes are really pretty,
Pippin: And finally, as she was visiting her cousin, Sebastian Striker, here's Purnella.
Ellavine: ...and I will not rest until the Mysterious Prankster has been brought to justice! But first, I'm taking a nap.
