Aliens Stole My Alien Parents
Decided to try this scenario with a twist or two. The Zeezoob family just immigrated to Earth, settling in a small house in Copperdale. As soon as they got the basics unpacked, Mara and Oliver's da...

Day 10 - A Merry Mystery
It was Mara and Oliver's first time experiencing an Earth Winterfest. Mara decided to bake some Winterfest cookies and take them to her best friends' homes.
She hates cooking, and this was her first time using the oven, but she really wanted her friends to enjoy eating them and she tried really hard. They came out okay.
"Wow, your house is really beautiful!" Mara said to Gemma.
"It's sort of embarrassing," Gemma said. "We inherited it all. Plus, I think Grandma only had one of these chairs to begin with and then Duplicatoed the rest of the set."

Gemma's roommate Emilia introduced herself to Mara and Oliver. She was engaged to Gemma's brother.
"You seem so sweet and polite compared to the rest of the family," said Mara.
"Yeah, she's kind of the black sheep of our family," Gemma said.

Next they took cookies over to the Goths.
The kids gave each other gifts.

Oh, wait.
School tomorrow.
They were exhausted but there was still homework to do.

This house was really beautiful too.

Cassandra's parents were rather icy toward aliens. It was uncomfortable. Cassandra wasn't saying much.
--No wonder you didn't want to invite me over before, Mara texted Cassandra under the table.
But Cassandra didn't have her phone on her.

Mara extricated herself as soon as she could.
Extricating Oliver from his chess game with Alexander was harder.

"Aw, we weren't done! He seemed so nice!" Oliver protested as they left.
"I don't think he's as nice as you think, judging by how he was trying to cheat," Mara observed.

Mara did get new beds. Bunk beds, which she hoped Oliver would get a kick out of. And if he slept in the upper bunk, there would be no more monster nonsense, she thought to herself.

Oliver had to ask Mara for a few simoleons to buy her present.

"It's... a clock," said Mara.
"Don't you think it's cute?" asked Oliver.
Mara was about to make a rude remark, but she saw how hopeful Oliver looked. "It's super cute," she said. "I love it. Okay, now come to the upstairs porch and see what I got you."
https://i.postimg.cc/TYZ5fd7g/07-science-gift.png
"Whoa!" Oliver exclaimed. "I'm not allowed to touch any of this stuff at school!"
"Sixa kids are supposed to start much earlier than these slacker Earth kids when it comes to science. Your teachers are much too worried about what if you break something, and not worried enough about what happens to you if you never break anything. I have to keep you from falling behind."
Oliver spent a long time with the science set that night.

What a lucky gift!
Or was it only luck?
"Wow, thanks!" said Mara to Father Winter.
"Someone gave me a tip that this might be helpful in your life," said Father Winter.
"Someone who?" Mara asked.
"I can't say anything else," said Father Winter. "Except that you might also want to check your mailbox."
"My mailbox? I never get any mail except bills and notifications that people I don't know have adopted cats."
"You might want to check your mailbox. See you later," said Father Winter and disappeared into the fireplace.
Sure enough, there was a strange package in there.

Dad?
There was no note, no explanation. Just "From Sovey Zeezoob" on the outside of the package.
Mara opened it up. It was a large painting. Not really to her taste, more like something that belonged in the Goths' house.
But somehow, it was connected to her dads.
She hung it over the fireplace.

"I already did mine yesterday," said Oliver without looking up from his science set.
Of course he did.
Mara looked in the fridge. Hey, there was a new beverage in there! Is this from Father Winter too?

Mara took a sip and felt VERY READY TO DO HOMEWORK
https://i.postimg.cc/zXR3tmzB/new-quick-meal2.png
Maybe there was something questionable about this drink, but she didn't care.
This was definitely a fun holiday.
