Now that Ethan is finally a teenager, he is big enough to use a guitar. From this point on, some sims might think that Ethan underwent an operation to have his guitar surgically attached to his hands so that he'd never stop playing it. Ethan's age also means that David can now trust him to keep a secret. Not right now though, David is one painting away from immortality. After two days of parking Agnes and David in front of a TV while Bebe teaches Ethan to drive The Never Need to Eat, Pee, Sleep, Socialize, Shower, or Have Fun Ever Again Vehicle, it was David's birthday. No aging up while unclogging a toilet this time. David throws a party for himself and surprisingly, everyone cared.
David: Ow my spine! Ow my ear! This is worse than sitting behind that guy with the vuvuzela at that soccer game.
A quick visit to the mirror and dresser and we have the David donning the same exact outfit his future self wore when he came to warn his younger self. Bebe does a painting, sculpture, and photograph of David immediately afterwards. He now meets all of the requirements for immortality. Before David eats ambrosia however, there's one thing that has to be done.
The next day, David walks up to his son.
David: Son, now that you're old enough to keep a secret. There's something I need to show you. The real reason you've been banned from painting until young adulthood.
Ethan: For once you actually seem serious.
David: Follow me.
David: We are immortals, we set out to complete a series of challenges to gain immortality. You're currently in our museum that is a work in progress.
Ethan: So you're not just a narcissist that wants to be remembered?
David: I had to make up a story for your mother. You would not believe what I had to do to get her to paint, sculpt, and photograph us.
Ethan: She told me that you sold her car and bought her a motorcycle.
David: Your mother did appear to be the motorcycle type of girl.
Ethan: Why is Bebe living with us?
David: I needed a technophobe to break electronics for one of my immortal challenges. I told her we were Amish.
David: This here is your room.
Ethan: This is embarrassing, why do we have to have a painting, sculpture, and photograph of us in all of our life stages?
David: Only the paintings are necessary, the rest are because I think it makes the museum look cooler.
Ethan: So you are a narcissist that wants to be remembered.
David: Of course not, I just think it adds more character.
Ethan: What about mom and Bebe?
David: They're not Frohmen by blood and they aren't the firstborn of a generation so they don't qualify for this. In fact, they don't even know about this which is why I wanted you to keep a secret.
Ethan: I can just tell them what you're up to right now, you know.
David: Do that and you'll be banned from painting forever.
Ethan: Alright fine, but one more question. Why are you doing this?
David: Because I can.
Ethan: ...really? That's really your motive for doing all this?
David: Yep.
Ethan: No bailing parents out from an immortal jail or being threatened to be slain by gods or any other reason? You're doing all of this because you feel like it?
David: Exactly.
Ethan: ... I don't like this.
David: Think of it this way, if you complete your challenges, you'll be able to paint as much as you like for eternity.
Ethan: You could have walked right up to me and randomly said "you'll be an immortal that can paint for eternity if you complete a series of challenges" and save yourself a lot of trouble. I'm in.
Now that Ethan knows exactly what's going on and David has completed all of his requirements, the time has finally come. David heads to the food replicator to get a serving of Ambrosia while his son sits and watches.
David: ...this is disgusting!
Ethan: I'm having second thoughts now.
David: Remember, you'll get to paint all you want for eternity.
