The Race is On

The race is on!…for the next torch holder of course. Oddly enough, it seems like the Bloom boys are all feeling the pressure. Avery received a new hairstyle, courtesy of his old hair no longer showing up, and is still as pushy as ever in trying to sweeten me up.

Yes, he finished up that painting! And even read a whole book – I forget which. Quite impressive Avery darling…but you’re not blue…and you’re too much of a suck-up. That and I think you’ll be fine on your own, so I’m sorry but you’re out of the running.

Mother Blair sought revenge on her favorite son by telling him to the do the dishes.

Avery: Sorry Mum, I'm much too tired -yawn-

There was actually quite a bit of complaining/insulting going on in the Bloom household during this play period.

Evidence: A

Aloysius has had enough of the dirty dishes left all over the fricking place. Afton does not want to hear it…she just wants nachos. I wasn’t aware there were nachos in this game…

Oh, and Avery is still Blair’s favorite.

Evidence: B

Asparagus wants lil’ sis to help clean up the house every once in awhile. Aki does not seemed pleased by this request…I think that he feels only he is privy to disliking Afton. It seems everyone is picking on the poor dear…especially Asparagus…

Asparagus: You are such a baby, Afton. Literally and figuratively.

I’m not entirely sure what her reaction was…but it was not good.

Asparagus: Whoa there, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I TAKE IT BACK!

Any ideas what she said?

Blair isn’t one to be left out of the action…

Afton: You want me to take out the trash? Umm no?

Don’t worry though, there was still love and affection in the Bloom house.

Aren’t Parkin and Blair sweet? I certainly think so, but Ari is disgusted by his parents’ behavior. Psh, sorry Ari but you’re out of the running too.

The boy who once tried hiding his homework in the fridge is now doing it willingly, can you believe that?

I love the blue Bloom boys…and Aloysius.
Aki really pulled out all the stops trying to impress me.

Yes!! First time he’s painted and played the guitar – hello my future master of the arts!

I noticed that our favorite girl in the ‘hood had aged up into a young adult, so I told Parkin to invite her over asap for a little recon.

Parkin: I need to know, for the benefit of all of my sons, are you in a serious relationship with anyone?

Luckily for the Bloom boys, Bambi is single. Thank goodness, I couldn’t break up any engagements or marriages. I was happy with this news…until I saw this:

This of course had me thinking that Bambi does not like Asparagus. But then! Only a few minutes later!

That happened. I was taking a photo of Asparagus playing the guitar (hoorah!) when I noticed Bambi totally checking him out as she walked to the bathroom. Thank you mirror!

He didn’t talk to her though, one of the others did and it took me by surprise.

Ari: I know I'm a lot y-y-younger than you, but I think you're cute I mean attractive. ::blush::

That night Asparagus got a little surprise of his own while washing the dishes (good boy!).

Asparagus: Wait, what's going on? What's happening to me?!

Asparagus: This ain't so bad, I'm quite smexy.

I approve! Okay, so he basically looks the same..haha. Someone suggested earlier that he was a neurotic sim in the making and so voila! Asparagus’s final trait is just that, making him insane, clumsy, neat, flirty and neurotic…fun fun fun. Guess what he wants to be now that he’s all growned up? The emperor of evil of course, what else? The other options pretty much just sucked.

Parkin: teehee, I saw a star and it winked at me!

After a trip to the dresser and the purchase of a nifty weightlifting machine, a scrawny violet wearing Asparagus found the new item and worked out into the early hours of the following morning.

The rest of the boys really started feeling the pressure now.

Aloysius: Oh you caught me! I was just washing dishes..I think I'll go read a book and water the plants next.

The blonde boys challenged one another to a quick game of chess before the bus came.

And Afton decided to use the telescope instead of just thinking about it.

Afton: What an ugly looking fencepost!

The kiddos went off to school Asparagus slept in, waking up to an empty house.

Hey Asparagus! Where are ya goin dude?

Asparagus: Well you want me to be the emperor of evil, right?

After securing a job at the warehouse, he moseyed around until dark. The one think he did was call a friend from school named Horace. Horace is pretty cute actually…maybe I’ll invite him around for Afton to meet.

Back at the house that evening, Aki whipped out his inventory custom made guitar.

He is pure awesome. Unfortunately, he looks too much like his dad whereas Asparagus is a nice mix and entertaining to boot. And so…

-drumroll please-

The torch is passed on to Asparagus.

The first item on the agenda: Bambi Dillon. I know it’s late, but she needs to be invited over. now.

Afton: Don't mind me...just checking out these new lights...

She does not respond well to our flirty advances, and runs off pretty much immediately. drat.

Will Bambi warm up to Asparagus? or will we need to settle for someone else? And how will the rest of the A’s handle the early passing of the torch?
