Another Action-Packed Day

Sat, Fall in Vista Hermosa (May 8)

Tae: Yuna reaches L5 Movement, just now. We’d planned to age up Yuna at a faster pace than the other three, so she could become our teen fairy caregiver but, ironically, she’s the last to max her toddler skills. Nobody's aging up yet, though.

Alej: Kenji, you get a special snuggle for being the first to earn all the toddler milestones, that matter! (We don't care about First Tantrum and First Nightmare).

Tae: We’re off to an early start today because Alej and I both have the day off! We invite Irene and Wolfie along to have lunch in San Sequoia. Our gremlins are happy to meet them both.

Tae: Yes, Davi, Irene is very beautful. But no, you can’t marry her when you’re older, even though she ages slower than you.

Davi: Why?

Tae: For many reasons but, most importantly, she’s already married to Wolfie.

The kids walk over to play in the nearby splash pads.

After waiting several hours, our food never arrives and our server insists we never ordered, which is untrue! Because the toddlers need potty breaks, we bid farewell to the Munches. Our whole household will be visiting them soon so the kids, Sasuke and Zorro can socialize with Louie and Esme.

Tae: We’re home, Zorro! Wow, who knew that you practiced yoga?

Zorro: Not yoga, mano! Unlike Sasuke, I can groom myself!

Alej: To avoid being interrupted by Tae's grandparents, I set up the other side of the house for the gold Romantic Date we need for Romantic Explorer. I choose only date activities that can be completed quickly: Be Romantic, Be Friendly, Be Flirty, Eat, and Watch TV. (I know it's not the most romantic setting but the kids are still settling down to sleep.)

During our date, Rowan calls to say he got the promotion! We're both so happy for him. Of course, he deserved it!

Our date reaches gold before it’s even 8 pm. Tae asks to extend the date as if he’s read my mind about finishing Romantic Explorer’s Woohoo in 3 Different Locations goal tonight. We woohoo at home, then I ask to change the date venue.

I choose the gym in Nuevo Corazón, because it would have showers. The showers there don’t work for woohoo, but I find a linen closet instead. I change the venue a second time to travel to Media Naranja in Plaza Mariposa, which also has a linen closet. Then, I cheerfully end our perfect Romantic Date around 11 pm.

It's still early enough to ask Tae out on a regular (non-customized) date at home. Our third date reaches gold within an hour. Three perfect dates down and four to go. Going forward, we'll only be going on the much shorter regular dates. Wish us luck! (We hear the seventh date is quite difficult!)

Watcher's Notes: *Werewolf rage: I'm done studying how Soothe the Beast works on werewolf fury, so Lou Howell and other werewolves are once again limited to Moonwood Mills in their werewolf form. *7 Wild Dates: I learned only yesterday that regular (non-Lovestruck) perfect dates count toward this challenge. I've only completed this challenge once before, going on only customized dates. The regular dates reach gold SO much faster!
