Chapter Five

Isabela and Varric share a room, in the morning they both spend time in the phone to their friends. Isabela's friend Tyson Lobos aged up the same time they did, and they're still close. While Varric has a crush on a girl named Darlene Shallow.

"What's the answer to number twelve?" Isabela badgers.

"Do your own work Bella." Varric sighs.

Twin flirting. Double plus!

Isabela gets her first kiss with Tyson.

While Varric gets his with Darlene, seems both will have dates to the prom.

Isabela strikes again.

Damon has been wanting a hot tub for a while, he finally buys one during his one of his spending fits that have been brought on thanks to a midlife crisis.

Both teens ask their parents to teach them to drive, but since there's only one car, it's a race to see who gets it first.

Varric wins.

Instead Isabela hits the treadmill, she's in the sports club at school and has to be in tip top shape if she wants those trophies.

She also finally tries her hand at real baking, gone is the kiddie oven, now she has a whole kitchen worth of appliances to fiddle with.

The more things change....

The more they stay the same.

Sigh.

Prom night arrives. "Calm down you nerd." Isabela says to her overly excited brother.

Middle age has really hit Damon hard, Tatiana is starting to worry about his mind slipping already.

The weekends are for pajamas.

"Bro, we need to talk about those suspenders."

"What's wrong with suspenders?" Varric pouts.

"Everything." Isabela says.

Isabela likes to jog after school.

At the community garden, she causes chaos by pulling pranks.

Stealing.

And mining public property, with what she thinks is her brother's best invention yet.

The rest of the family is blissfully unaware to what Isabela gets up too on her jogs.

Notes: Isabela is a little spitfire, she's constantly setting off pranks autonomously, the whole house is one blinking red dot. The teens will age up in the next update, and Isabela's generation should take over if not then, the next at the very latest. I know it seems like I'm moving through the generation quickly, and I guess I am, but truth be told, I'm not taking as many pictures as I should really, I get into the game play and then forget I'm suppose to be documenting their lives lol.
