Colours Week 6

Welcome back to Silver Bend! Zales is welcoming you to the ever chaotic Colours house. Last week, Thai’s kids from Laguna Isle moved in making things a little

awkward with Amanda. Lysbeth the final Colours child was born, she’s the OWBC’s bad apple this generation. I forgot to take family photo. I need to get better at

remembering to take them.

“Papa?” Lysbeth cried at the bottom of the stairs. Papa and Momma were upstairs and

no one was playing with her.

There was a new family member joining the house. Max was an elderly dog that Bran

found outside Ani-Mei’s Cat Café.

“I’ll play with you Lys, just come over here.”“Over there!” Lysbeth cocked her head trying

if Olaf was fun enough.

Thai took over when Olaf headed to school.“How’s my Lysbeth today?”

“Papa!” She cheered.

Julie Diem came home from school with Olaf and Odin.

“Hey you want to go on a date?”“Sure!” She agreed.

Amanda came home with a promotion. She was well on her way to becoming a business

tycoon.

Ryan Phoenix and Rebecca Diem were also over. They were a little too involved with each other to pay attention to the Colours

kids.

Thai took Bran and Sal to Dreamweaver for the afternoon.

Griff gave the bookstore rank 3 while purchasing Bigfoot Hugs: How to Hug with

Proper Enthusiasm.

Bran earned his bronze cashier badge.

Thai closed up after that. It was Lysbeth’sbirthday tonight.

It was quite a birthday crowd for Lysbeth’scake.

“Look how big I am!” She cheered after the confetti fell away.

A/N: I gave her a little makeover, she’s getting glasses like her big brother Bran. I did also assign her a bed. But I was very

careful not to peek at her stats. Despite the almost overwhelming temptation.

After cake spaghetti was served. Thai noted that they really needed a bigger table in the

dining room.

Thai and Amanda rearranged the nursery to give Paloma and Lysbeth a bedroom so

share.

Palmer rushed to the sidewalk and made it just in time. He hadn’t paid attention to his

power supply while he was doing chores around the house.

The first snow of season fell over night. Only the pool warm from a heater was free of the

frosty flakes.

Amanda and Thai decided to make a spontaneous trip to Silver Bend Shops.

Amanda got a makeover after living in Silver Bend for weeks. She had put on a little weight, but she felt like she wore it well.

After all Thai still found her very attractive.“There’s no kids around.” He told her.

“And no customers.” She grinned back.

Eventually they did open. Amanda handled sales while Thai managed the register.

Mel Phoenix gave Dreamweaver rank 4 while buying a copy of Spore for her son.

After the teens got home from school, Thai dragged them and Palmer up to the café.

Olaf earned his bronze sales badge while hosting.

Back home Thai helped Lysbeth with her homework.

“Dad do I have to do this?” she complained.“Yes ma’am.”

That night young Oddmund was having his birthday into teenhood.

“Check this out!” He grinned, he wanted to the most popular kid in school, and be

surrounded by twenty best friends.

“Goodnight Lys.” Thai tucked his sleeping daughter in.

She had a hard life ahead of her being a bad apple. But she was surrounded by people

that loved her.

“Hey Palmer, everyone just ate, you don’t need to make lobster.” Bran said washing the

dishes.“I found a new recipe I wanted to try.” Palmer

replied.

Julie found out Olaf was dating Heather too, and Kaylynn Guevara.

“That’s for making a fool out of me.” Julie growled knocking over the trash that Bran

just took out.

Amanda needed charisma points to get promoted. She locked herself in the

downstairs bathroom and practiced in the mirror.

Bran skipped sneaking out this week. The bubble blower outside was calling his name.

“Umm, you’re facing the wrong way.” Bran told the genie.

“I will turn in my own time.” The genie said.“Well, I wish for some money while you’re

taking your time.”“As you wish.”

Julie was coming every night to dump over the trash can. It wasn’t long before roaches

made an appearance.

Thai had a lot of spare time. Being a professional party guest paid well, but now that Lysbeth was in school he didn’t have a

lot to do. He spent a few hours working on a junker in the driveway.

According to their challenge rules, they could only repair things at noon. Palmer took on

the broken computer.

Thai handled the downstairs toilet. There was more stuff broken but they only

managed the two things in the allotted time.

It was Oddmund’s turn to be the host at the café.

Paloma was learning to be a server too. “I’m so sorry Mr. Toby.” She apologized after

she dumped her tray on him.“It’s alright.” He laughed it off, shaking off

the salad on his clothes.

“Julie, I’m sorry, but it was just one date. Please stop knocking down our trash can.” Olaf pleaded after she came home from

school with Odin.“Just promise not to date anymore of my

sisters.”“Deal.”

“School is so much fun!” Lysbeth shouted getting off the bus, “I can’t wait until

tomorrow!”

Amanda came home with another promotion. She was just a few away from being a

business tycoon.

Oddmund made sure he spent some time with his little sister. Even if he had to wake

her up out of bed.

The flamingo army was growing outside. Once Thai remembered to put three out for

Lysbeth.

Noon rolled around again, this time Palmer tackle the last clogged toilet.

After school was café time again. Salvatore was up as host.

The place was really taking off, Goopy gave it rank 4.

Everything had to stop briefly to fix a broken sink in the kitchen.

One of the local reporter’s came by for a snack. She didn’t say much. Thai knew he had so more work to do before the café

became best of the best.

Salvatore netted himself a gold sales badge.

“You did a great job tonight Olaf.” Brandi said counting out bills.“Hey thanks a lot!”

She also gave the café rank 5.

After clearing up their misunderstanding Olaf and Julie could be friends again. He invited

her after school again.

After his outing with Julie, Olaf couldn’t sleep. He tried to make friends with Moody,

one of the local wolves.

Palmer was also up late. Trying out more new recipes despite no one being hungry.

Thai finally finished his car. The first car in Silver Bend.

Tiffany was finally starting to show her age. Thai made sure there was plenty of dog stuff

downstairs to make things easier on her.

Now that the café was rank 5, it opened up a spot in the culinary career. Thai looked for an opening, with no luck at least for

now.

Lysbeth brought Honey Sugar home from school with her. The two girls were

becoming fast friends.

“Throw it as high as you can!” Lysbethencouraged.

“Here it comes!” Honey shouted back.

That even Bran booked a taxi to college. His time at home was up. He looked forward to

the new chapter in his life.

He took a deep breath before getting into the cab. Moving to college was a little nerve

wracking, but Delilah was there. She was so perfect, he couldn’t wait to see her again.

Lysbeth made another conquest of her brothers.

“Why was there a clock in the gazebo?” Olaf asked.

“I dunno why?”“Cause it was in time out!” Olaf laughed.

“That’s so funny!” Lysbeth laughed.

Palmer was the only one that still worked on the garden. It gave him something to do while the family was sleeping. Especially since Thai stopped stocking the fridge. It

was full to the brim with leftovers.

Reno Day came around and Bran’s room was due for a remodel. Amanda wanted Lysbeth

to have her own room.

She chose the color pink to decorate her room with. She had her very own desk to do

homework on.

A/N: I did have to command her to claim the desk and the new bed. But no peeking I

promise.

Paloma got the nursery to herself. Her favorite color was purple. Thai bought a cool

zebra painting for her.

Saturday was a day for skilling. The kids were regulated to the living with Palmer’s cooking books to earn some skill points.

Thai finally found a job in the culinary career. He was on the path to being a world famous

chef! If Palmer didn’t beat him to it.

Olaf took Kaylynn to Star Gazing Park for a date.

If felt a little strange only date one girl at a time. Olaf decided he liked it. Kaylynn was

very pretty.

Back home Amanda joined Paloma for a game of chess.

“We really need to put a light over here don’t we?” She mused to her step-daughter.

“Yeah it’s pretty dark.” Paloma could tell Amanda was trying, she was more than

willing to meet halfway.

Palmer was on the prowled in the local college chatrooms. He hadn’t heard anything

after dating Keika a couple of times. He figured it was time to fish for those other fish

in the sea.

No one told Lysbeth to go to bed. She spent the night playing myshuno by herself.

“I win again!”

Family Sunday rolled around. Thai called Keika and her girls over for lunch and

afternoon fun.

“Keika!” Palmer said excitedly.“No hard feelings, right Palmer?” She said

quickly, “It wasn’t meant to be between us.”“I know that now. I can still come over from

time to time right?”“We’ll talk about it later okay.”

Palmer had invited Rose over for a date, one of the people he met in the chat room. He was glad he had after talking with Keika.

Rose kept his mind off things.

Griff had been invited over too. Amanda made pancakes for everyone and enjoyed

eating them out in the sunshine.“I’m thinking about moving into the city,

maybe up in the hills. I miss trees.”“Yeah, there’s not a lot of old trees near the

beach.” Amanda agreed.

“One ticket to Platinum University please.” Sal used the hubbub of the guests to sneak off to college. He was tired of keeping his nose clean. It was time to have some fun.

Oddmund decided he needed a new haircut to end out the week. With his older brothers moving to college it would soon his turn to

play the field a bit.
