Marcus birthday had been, her and her sisters party was done, there was still a joint birthday/wedding party for Marcus and herself, their wedding the next day, and then Venice was on tour for four days, and house hunting when she returned.
Serena, Alycia, and Bernadette came over the next day for a late lunch before the party, Alycia and Bernie were on their best behavior under their mothers watchful eye.
Serena Errant-Jonas - Comic Book Artist. - The towns true Alpha Wolf, Britney Wolf led the town pack of strays, but Serena had taken her down on more than one occasion when Britney had stirred trouble.
Alycia Errant-Jonas - Model - Oldest of the triplets by 1 minute - Likes to do,say, wear inappropriate things to shock or otherwise get a reaction from people.
Bernadette Errant-Jonas - Childish, Neurotic, also likes to do,say, wear inappropriate things to shock or otherwise get a reaction from people.
Precisely 3pm, and no guests. Some guests always arrived early to avoid the rush of everyone trying to squeeze through the door at once, but in this case, no early birds.
As Casey and Serena went to check the front yard to see if guests were gathered there, Gypsy barked, announcing the first arrival.
"Lawrence, buddy!", Marcus called out, shocked to see Lawrence arrive before anyone else. Lawrence had a habit of getting lost, or misplacing times and dates of events, and all sorts of bad luck. The last time Marcus had invited Lawrence to a football game, a S.W.A.T. team had scooped Lawrence up and dragged him off to a secret location as a suspected drug cartel enforcer. It wasn't until the next day that the got the information that the wrong photos had been sent with the cartel information.
Alycia decided the party wasn't exciting enough, and was just about to go skinny dipping, when Serena pointed out that it wasn't in her best interests. The rest of the party proceeded in an enjoyable, and not a wild out of control style.
Even when Bernadette rang her sister to ask her how she was enjoying the party.
Lawrence: "Eva's like my second step cousin on my step dad's side, I think she's hot!"
Marcus: (Not even looking) "Yeah she is buddy, you should totally ask her out"
Casey: (Thinking to self) 'Oh, she is, is she? That's going to cost you later Marcus!'
Other than some petty rivalries, childish, spiking of the punch (twice), the party continued to progress smoothly and Serena Wulf (Daughter of Britney Wulf), told Alycia that her family were a pack of pussies, and that's why the weren't allowed to join the Elba Wulf Pack. tempers flared, wolf faces were triggered.
Before either could get a swipe in, Serena Errant-Jonas who had overheard the conversation, triggered her wolf form, charged from the bar to the poolside, and shoved them both in the water.
By the time anyone heard the splash, Serena was back in human form, acting like there was nothing to see here. The only witness being Corinna Woodford, who is still not sure why those two gitls pushed her in.
When the two wolf girls surfaced, she had a few quiet words with the miscreants, who were on their absolute best behavior for the rest of the evening.
After the party, Casey asked Marcus about the hot girl, Marcus explained that he didn't think that she was hit, he'd just agreed with Lawrence, in the hope that Lawrence would finally ask her out. Casey's jealousy caged, the topic turned to the wedding the next day. Marcus told her that he expected to see her in a dress tomorrow, even if it meant breaking her no dress, no skirts rule.
Casey confessed that she had a wedding dress, and that she would consent to wear on on their special day, on the one condition that if the dress was on for day, that awful face fuzz was not. Marcus happily agreed.
The families if Marcus and Casey were present in their entirety for the wedding, the only other guest was Lawrence Wong-Lum, who was in attendance as wedding photographer. Unfortunately when Lawrence went to remove the memory card at the end of the night, the camera fizzled and sparked before bursting into flames and burning his hand. Marcus was able to retrieve one picture from the damaged card.
Lilli and Venice gave Casey a Bel Air convertible as a welcome to the family gift, and offered the newly weds the house of their choice in Elba.
Marcus and Casey slept in a bed together for the first time, (they got a few hours sleep anyway.)
And Venice left for a four day event in Twin Rivers, with the Flaming Turkeys.
Founding Generation Rolls:
Family Structure - Couple
Number Of Children - 1
Income - 1. Rock Star, 2. Collector
Generation Goal - Expansionist
Miscellaneous Fun - It's so you.
Pretty sure I smashed the generation goal :)
The Founder and the heir both had black as favorite color. The founders partner had green. I tend to decorate by favorite color anyway, so all I had to do was redecorate the master bedroom when Marcus reached YA, you will understand why in the next chapter.
Chapter Notes:
This is the end of the reign of the Founder (Venice), Generation 1 (Marcus) is now at the helm.
And what a challenge these last two chapters have been... Not just trying to keep the story line heading in the right direction, but hardware problems, game problems, werewolf problems.
Serena Errant-Jonas didn't stop the fight, the moment Serena Wulf went all wolf faced, almost everyone else at the party wet themselves, fainted, or burst into hysterics...that includes all the werewolves at the party...
Two of my hair merged packages suddenly developed a conflict after working side by side for 4 weeks, this caused the launcher to crash immediately on launch, but not to have the courage to tell windows that its feelings had been hurt. I resolved this by deleting one of the merged packages, and recreating it in 4 smaller merges to try to identify the problem hair.. to surprise the 4 smaller packs with the EXACT same contents as the deleted one did not cause a conflict... that is illogical.
I then spent 14 hours, trying to back all my stuff up onto a USB stick, only to discover afterwards that none of it was there. Was I kitten strangler in a former life????
Any way, despite all obstacles, I have finished the first leg of the race, Only nine more to go!
