Back to Part 1 | Week Two coming soon..

I found the second half of this much harder to play. I didn't have any major story ideas.. and I couldn't wrap my head around Winterfest holidays in this particular family.

I'll start this update with another house update. I decided they needed a better bed.

Where's Malcolm?

Skipping school again. Bad grades is hard work. LOL. (And why the lights sometimes don't turn on baffles me...)

Cassandra calls in the evening, asking if Malcolm wants to go out to eat. Sure, why not.

.. Such a cute couple!

Cassandra apparently chugged her drink.

... What a face, Malcolm. What's wrong? (He's had a long day, apparently..)

Cheesecake sounds good...

... Completely unprompted from me, he decides to take a selfie after the date.

Guess what today is?! Winterfest!

Adding to the present pile. Too bad it's already been sabotaged. (Completely autonomously, too...)

Waiting to open presents. Might as well work on that Charisma.

Haha. Dad got an eel. And I learn that a sabotaged present pile isn't sabotaged if you add presents to it later.

Oh, hey, look who's here?!

Hey honey!

I had him buy her a book. She seems happy with it. Note that Dad is walking past... guess he's not mad at Malcolm anymore?

Kiss time!

After she leaves (to head back to probably getting in trouble for sneaking out again....) we let the holiday spirit mend some fences in the household.

Teenager walks by.. and all Malcolm can think is that maybe he's got his eye on his girl. (Or at least, that's where my imagination went..)

"Stay away from her!"

Nobody walking past seems the slightest bit concerned with this.

... But Malcolm won the fight. His reputation goes down, but that's okay. I don't think he minds.

Back again?

Best of friends.

Eating the butler's meals again. Nobody in this house cooks except for him.. LOL.

How about a sleepover? My parents won't mind!

.. Sure!

Awww...

Naoko, be quiet with that screwdriver now. They're sleeping!

Geoffrey seems ecstatic that 1, he's friends with his son again, and 2, Nancy got a promotion.

Breakfast with the butler.

.. Looks like she had a good night.

"Hey, wanna skip school with me? One day won't matter, right?"

I take the two of them off to the park in Willow Creek. Turns out Cassandra's not so good at skating.

"Just fixing my skate." (riiight.)

"Whoooaaa!!"

Snow pal time!

... What the heck kind of snow pal is that??

.. Malcolm's first reaction is to kick it over. HAHA.

Winter-time kisses.

Checking out the chess tables.

Malcolm decided he wasn't any good at chess, and cheered Cassandra on instead.

Cass is apparently thinking of moving. Can't say I blame her.

Uh-oh, guess who's here.

Drink to the face in the middle of winter. Malcolm counts this argument as a "win" for him.

Distractions? No, really??

Parental disappointment over the grades.

C'mon, it can't be that bad, Malcolm. LOL.

Sure.. New Year's Eve, so make sure your son has a drink at 11 AM.

And another one??

They spend the day as a "family", playing games and chatting. (And apparently, drinking.. lol)

Countdown to midnight.

The week's over! Hooray! (Wait, I don't think that's what they're cheering over.. haha.)

See you for the next family!
