Roy and Faith spent the rest of the day together. They hung out at the park, went to the karaoke club, went to the movies, and ended with dinner at a fancy restaurant. By the end of the night, Roy asked Faith if she wanted to make it official. She went home, grinning from ear to ear. She couldn’t believe she had her first boyfriend.

As soon as they came on, it was time for the toddler years to be a thing of the past. Cole was about to become a child. Lizzie couldn’t believe how fast time was flying, Faith was in high school and Cold was about to start school. She remembered perfectly the day each of them had been born.

For his birthday, Cole gained the Party Animal trait, and his parents got him a rocking horse. He spent all day pretending he was a cowboy. Then he had dinner without Faith, she was out with Roy so they had an only child night at home with Cole.

These are just some random pictures of Jebediah making some odd faces as he walks to the computer. Not sure what was going on…

Lizzie got back behind the piano. With both kids in school all day and her Alchemy skill nearly mastered, she needed something new to do. She loved being behind the piano. Aside from her family, this is where she was the happiest.

Faith and Cole were pretty close, They did their homework together every night and chatted about what was going on in their lives. When Faith wasn’t doing homework with Cole or hanging with Roy, she was behind the easel. She was beginning to love that thing.

Cole’s childhood went by fast and uneventful. He made the honor roll, but he didn’t make very many friends. He was always on his rocking horse or messing with a chess table. His best friend was his sister and he was glad that they would both be in high school at the same time. At least for a little while.

Cole and Faith were enjoying being in school together. They would do homework and gossip about the teachers and their peers. They went out together sometimes just to hang out. Their favorite pass time was pool. They were both getting to be pretty good at it.

The next day it was Faith’s birthday. She invited Roy, excited to see him because it had been so long. But once he got there, she learned that Roy had lied about his age. He is actually an adult, someone way to old for her to date. She was heartbroken. She couldn’t believe he would lie about something that important. She was so devastated that she dumped him on the spot and sent him out the door. She never wanted to see his face again.

She tried not to let the Roy situation bother her. She had other people and better friends at her party. As she blew out her candles she thought about her future. She thought she had it all mapped out, marry Roy, have a family, get a job, and live happily ever after. But now that they were broken up, she wasn’t sure what she was going to do.

Later on in the night she found Andre. She hadn’t seen him in forever. They danced and talked and well after a while she seemed to fit perfectly in his arms. Before she even knew what was happening she was leading him to her room where they spent the rest of the night together…
