Both Helga and Ivan got presents for their teen birthday related to their respective hobbies.

Helga got a polaroid camera, while Ivan got the cheaper telescope. They were definitely going to make use of them!

"How do you really feel about dad marrying Noah?" Helga asked her brother. "You've been pretty quiet since they got back."

"I was looking for a job," Ivan argued.

"I'm being serious. You could at least pretend to be happy, for dad's sake," Helga told him. "Noah's not that bad, once you get to know him better. He makes dad really happy."

"I don't mind Noah. You were the one that disliked him, not me. I'm happy for them... I'm just not the touchy-feely type, I guess. There's nothing wrong with that," he shrugged.

"No, you're right," Helga smiled. "I guess I can be touchy-feely enough for the both of us."

Helga and Ivan were the first ones up so that they could get ready for another day of school.

"I can't wait for the weekend," Helga said.

"As if your day's gonna be that different," Ivan chuckled. "All you do is Pleasure Sim stuff anyway. You never study."

"At least I have a social life," Helga retorted. "When's the last time you hung out with anyone that wasn't dad?"

There weren't enough kids in town yet to throw an actual party, but the Hellsten twins still came over to hang out and celebrate.

Before the four of them could be unleashed, they huddled up for a quick screenshot.

Rixian could've invited Spencer over to have all of the current Plumwell kids together in one photo, but I may or may not have forgotten about him.

A loud thud woke Felix up.

When he came out to investigate, he saw his son brawling with a stranger in the middle of the living room.

"Don't worry, dad! I've got him!" Ivan shouted, putting his body skill points to good use. "Stay away! I'm way more athletic than you!"

Thanks to Ivan, the thief didn't get his hands on anyone's belongings that night.

"Yeah, congrats guys..." Ivan muttered distractedly.

Of course Ivan was happy for his dad, but he was a bit preoccupied with finding a part-time job.

He was getting older and still didn't have any simoleons in his bank account. If he wanted a good foundation for his future, he was going to need to save up... and get some work experience.

There was a job available in the Politics Career. He could totally work for Mr. Hobbs!

Ivan and Helga got back from school to an empty house, but they weren't overly worried. It was their dad's day off, so he was probably out somewhere having a good time.

"We should do our homework," Ivan suggested.

Helga actually agreed, but only for a minute. She'd only flipped through a few pages when she decided she was too bored to continue.

"Pleasure Sims," Ivan scoffed, breezing through his own homework like it was nothing.

"Let's play cops and robbers!" Helga suggested.

"Aren't we getting a bit too old for that?" Ivan countered.

"Aw, come on, just one last time!" Lux protested. "Let's team up. Boys versus girls! We'll be the robbers!"
