The Sunlit Tides Surfing Academy
This is a story in progress which will be, mostly, about my teen legacy heir, William, living the most perfect life I can imagine - attending a surfing boarding school in Sunlit Tides. I felt the need...

Thursday (fifth day of winter and Snowflake Day)
Snowflake day doesn't start well: during the after-breakfast cleanup, both the dishwasher and the kitchen sink break.
Fortunately, all the students have the handiness skill, so it quickly gets taken care of.

After breakfast, it's time for Lilinoe to age up to young adult.

Probably confused by their friend suddenly becoming taller and more mature than them, Valiant and William start showing off their Sim Fu moves to impress her by this macho display. She is not impressed!

It is raining outside. On Surf Point Beach, a flea-ridden stray cat has taken shelter under a bench.

William goes to the beach to feed the cat a treat and brush it. That doesn't help with the fleas; actually, William gets infected with fleas too and has to take a shower.

Matiu starts preparing the Great Hall for Snowflake Day celebrations. The furniture is moved to make room for a gift-giving rug, a buffet table is brought in, and a welcoming fire is lit in the fireplace.

The students change into festive clothes...

... and gifts are placed in a pile on the rug.

The townie guests start to arrive. (The guest in the wet white shirt is Siddhartha Rose, the pianist Lilinoe met in a bar a few nights ago. Now, as a YA adult, she would be able to flirt with him, but unfortunately he doesn't stay long at the party.)

Matiu invites everyone to come and take their presents.

One by one, the students and the guests approach the pile and find a gift with their name on it. Almost everyone is delighted...

William gets two guitars! He already has a guitar, so he will sell them both and buy a drum set.

Matiu is the only one disappointed with his gift: he got a plush animal.

After the presents it's time for dinner. William brings a plate to Oliana. The two of them have gone from romantic interests to boyfriend and girlfriend during yesterday's prom, and today they both seem a little awkward (although not at all regretful) about this.
