Truth Will Out!!

In the previous update, Susan transitioned into a teen, Helen was nowhere to be seen - I assume she was at the mausoleum or something, Ginny was busy being a genial host for Susan's birthday party. Violet felt a little left out.

And nobody was taking any notice of Brosie. Who by now, was looking mighty cosy with his co worker Shirley Lin.

They had their heads together for quite some time, only getting interrupted by Violet who declared that she was tired and wanted to go to bed.

What was it that they needed to discuss in such a private matter I wonder?

I know he had to be uber friendly to her for one of his 'opportunities' in order to go further up the corporate ladder and improve his chances of a promotion.

But surely he hasn't gotten that far that they've started an affair?
Surely?

It was just before Shirley left, that I happened to see her thought bubble.

"Have you taken it yet?"

"Um no."

"I'm worried."

"Me too, what if there are side effects?"

"Wish I could get out of this."

"Me too. .... So when are you going to take yours?"

"I think I'll wait till my day off. That way, if anything goes wrong, I won't miss a day's work."

"Good thinking. Going to take mine later."

"Oh man, you're brave."

With that, she left.
Apparently, a pharmaceutical company was conducting tests on some of their medicines and they needed to have a control group of people who'd willingly take some of their medicines - including placebos - just to see if these new drugs were safe enough to be publicly distributed.

Unfortunately, both Brosie and Shirley had signed up for this. So they had to do it.
The dilemma with Brosie was.... should he take it before going to bed... or when he got up the following day?

Next update:

 
 What happened next?

Birthday Time!!!

Ginny kept quiet about the girls being so tardy, because Brosie, before he'd gone to work, had gone to such great lengths to keep the house nice and tidy. She just couldn't bring herself to yell at him. In fact, she felt as though she was slowing down somewhat.

And rightly so, since the very next day it was Susan's birthday!! Ohhh, they grow up so fast.

Scraping their money together, they decided to get a few balloons and decorate the front garden with them. Naturally they got the bog standard birthday cake in preparation. And this time, they organised a party for her.

After all, it's not every day you turn teen now is it?

One of the guests was none other than Shirley Lin - more on her later.

With the fuss and ado, and cheering going on, Susan made a wish and blew out the candles, whilst Violet stood in the background silently wishing it was her birthday.

 

 Patience my dear. Patience!! Your time will come.

The rest of the guests all cheered when Susan transitioned. Even dear Elmer, whom I think would be a perfect match for one of Brosie and Ginny's girls. Dontcha think???

With a zip and a POW! and sparkles galore, Susan leaped into the air and transformed into...

.... well, I can honestly say, there's no mistaking who she belongs to. She's the spitting image of Brosie, in female form!!!

I was saddened to see her lovely curly hair vanish during the transition. But I also realised that those corkscrew curls might not be appropriate for her now that she's a teen. So I decided to opt for a shorter hairstyle instead, that still maintained her curls. Just not those lovely little corkscrew curls that she sported so well.

Sadly, because of difficulties with her education, the game chose Unflirty as one of her traits.
And at the same time, she chose her LTW. She wanted to adopt loads of strays.

I dread to think what her parents will be thinking, when they find the place overrun with unruly animals!!!!

The party went well, with the guests all having some cake, dancing to the music and having a general chit chat. Although I think Ginny's putting on her 'match-making' head here as she's in full swing, chatting about goodness knows what to poor unsuspecting Elmer!!!

 
Then, quietly in the corner, well away from everyone else.... Rags silently celebrated before transitioning himself.

However, as the night drew in, Brosie was getting rather cosy with his co worker Shirley Lin.

I just hope that he knows what he's doing. I'd hate to think that this family would break up because of one stupid mistake.

Especially on his daughter's birthday.
