It didn’t seem like that long ago that Adam first arrived in Newcrest. He had worked extremely hard to build the community park and had met the love of his life along the way. Now they had two children, one of which would soon take over as Mayor. His life had been a good one so far and he looked forward to making even more memories. As he blew out the candles on his birthday cake, he made a wish that his legacy would live on for many generations.
Even though he was now an Elder, he still felt as handsome as he ever had. He swore to embrace his Grey hair and wear it with pride.
Dina, on the other hand, was dreading her Elder birthday and wished she could stay young forever. Blaire was still just a toddler and Dina wasn’t ready to age up just yet. She decided to spend as much time as possible with her daughter before she grew up.
Adam was doing extremely well in his career as a Chef and was one promotion away from the top of the ladder. He enjoyed being at home more and more, and loved telling Blaire stories about Princess Plumbob.
It didn’t take long for Blaire to build her skills and she was finally able to enjoy her final days as a toddler without having to worry about potty training and learning to walk and talk. Dina was so proud of her family and everything they had achieved.
Byron was enjoying teen life and often hung out with his friends at the park. Their favourite spot was by the bar, though they had to quickly hide their drinks whenever an adult was nearby.
Of course, Byron also enjoyed the attention he was getting from the girls. They all seemed to know exactly who he was and were lined up to get to know him.
“Hey Byron. Who was that chick you were talking to?” His friend, Lewis asked. “I dunno, Tamara or something like that.” Byron acted indifferent. He had quickly become the leader of his group of friends and didn’t want them teasing him about a silly crush that some random girl had on him. Tom laughed and turned to Lewis. “She was just one of the many girls that are tripping over themselves to get to him. Oi Byron, you should go on the Bachelor!” Byron rolled his eyes and pretended to be reading something on his phone.
After his friends had left, Byron felt he could finally be himself. The truth was, he wanted to fall in love and have a big family. But he was so worried about being teased that he couldn’t let his friends know that. Byron’s favourite thing to do at the park when he wasn’t surrounded by girls or his friends was play Sea Monster with the kids on the jungle gym.
