PRESENT DAY

Sakura got up and started making breakfast. As she cracked some eggs and whisked them, she thought back to the last time they had all been together...
TEN YEARS AGO:
Almost as soon as the Finchwick Fair was over, their lives suddenly changed. Kyra, Riki and Hana graduated high school, and they were all accepted into the programs of their choice at Foxbury and Britechester. Riki and Kyra were going through the Biology program at Foxbury and Hana had opted for the Fine Arts Program at Britechester. They had all decided to live in residence, to get the "full" university experience.

It was an exciting time for everyone, and even moreso, when Kenji announced that he and his childhood friend, Kaci Montgomery had re-connected again in Brindleton Bay. Not long afterwards, Kenji had asked Kaci to marry him on the beach in the moonlight. And she had said yes! (Note:I think that Kenji might be a secret romantic, like Wolfgang is.)

Not to be outdone by his brother's news, Ren had some news of his own. He and Adelyn Greenburg had been corresponding since he had moved away from Evergreen Harbor, and they recently decided to move in together. Adelyn, herself, was an animal lover, and had been an active volunteer at an animal shelter in Evergreen Harbor. They would soon be opening their own vet practice together. (Note: And I think there might be wedding bells in their future, too.)

Sakura and Wolfgang marveled at how their children were growing up, and soon, it was just the two of them living in the house. They kept busy and worked on several projects. Wolfgang took up painting and finished some knitted items. He also delivered the aubergine to Agatha. And she was rather impressed!

Sakura wrote several bestselling books. She even wrote an Epic Life Story of Wolfgang's life and named it The Book of Life. (Note: Sakura also wrote the Book of Life for all her children.)

Her royalties from her old music tracks and her books were generating quite a bit of simoleons everyday.

And Sakura even collected a golden egg in the chicken coop one morning. Well, it looked like a golden egg...

Wolfgang also remembered a long time ago that he and Sakura had become "Partners in Crime" and as a joke, be bought Sakura and himself some voodoo dolls. They bound them to each other. {Note:All they ever seemed to do was autonomously cuddle the voodoo doll.)

Wolfgang: "Sakura, I think you must have used your voodoo powers on me, because, well...I am feeling rather flirty around you today..."
Sakura smiled, "You know, I've always wondered if you had a voodoo doll when we were teens and bound it to me then...because I always felt that there was some "magic" in that kiss that we shared when we were teens..."
Wolfgang: "Oh really? No, I didn't have a voodoo doll, but I should have. It might have been easier to have you fall in love with me. So, magic, huh? So...um...what about now?" he asked, kissing her seductively.
https://i.postimg.cc/XYb63XSZ/did-you-do-voodoo-on-me.png
When they parted, Sakura flirted with him: "Oh...the magic is still there. No doubt about that, but now...well...it's just so much better..."
https://i.postimg.cc/d3jmyW3c/and-what-about-now-wolf-kiss.png
Wolfgang nodded his head confidently, "Oh yeah! I've still got it!" he said and they both laughed.

And Wolfgang even completed his original Aspiration, which was Chief of Mischief. Finally!

Of course, Wolfgang had taken this opportunity to romance Sakura all over again. And their days were filled with picnics in the Bramblewoods...
https://i.postimg.cc/rpmXHxcT/picnic-together.png
...riding their bikes exploring the countryside...
https://i.postimg.cc/bN808R5Q/biking-together.png
...and sharing kisses in the ruins together.
https://i.postimg.cc/QN5LvXLF/relieve-the-kiss.png
And their nights...well...they might be elders...but the flames of desire still burned brightly for both of them. They couldn't be happier together.

And it had gone on like that for quite awhile...until that fateful day when the Grim Reaper appeared...
https://i.postimg.cc/dtHvRwzD/oh-no-who-is-dy8ing.png
It was Wolfgang's favorite chicken, Sassy. She was getting on in years, and her time had come.
https://i.postimg.cc/yN7w25q2/sassy-is-getting-old.png
Wolfgang had been out in the barnyard when it happened. At first, Wolfgang wasn't sure why the Grim Reaper was there. Wolfgang had met the Grim Reaper once before when he had saved his friend, River's life a long time ago at university. And now, the Grim Reaper was back. Wolfgang had a sudden fear that something had happened to Sakura, and frantically searched his pockets for the special "death flower" that Sakura had given him. He was ready...he would plead for Sakura and give the Grim Reaper the flower, and she would live again.
https://i.postimg.cc/1zfB06Yd/grim-taking-sassy.png
But, the Grim Reaper wasn't there for Sakura, or Wolfgang...or any other human sim. He was there for Sassy. The Grim Reaper went over and pet Sassy "One...last...pet..." and then, just like that, Sassy and the Grim Reaper disappeared. Wolfgang was heartbroken, he couldn't even plead to save Sassy. It was too late.
https://i.postimg.cc/VvJfdFws/sassy-is-gone.png
https://i.postimg.cc/1XVTp16V/SASSY-IS-GONE-NOTIE.png
Wolfgang immediately became sad that his favorite chicken was gone.
https://i.postimg.cc/xCvwJR3K/sassy-is-gone-poor-chicken.png
And the more he thought of it, the sadder he got. What if the Grim Reaper had come for Sakura...what would Wolfgang do without her?
https://i.postimg.cc/1zDLdQYG/sad-wolf-about-sassy.png
He ran into the house, searching desperately for Sakura and when he found her, he hugged her close to him.
https://i.postimg.cc/Vs4pb4CF/hugging-sakura.png
Sakura: "Wolfgang...what happened? You look so sad...are you alright...?"
https://i.postimg.cc/YqhnL7kp/wolf-tells-sakura-abiout-sassy.png
Wolfgang: "It's Sassy...she's...the Grim Reaper came...and she's gone...I thought he was here for you...Sakura, I don't know how I can live without you being here...if you pass first..."
Sakura was suddenly in shock, "Oh Wolfgang..." And suddenly Sakura was crying and thinking that one day the Grim Reaper would come for her beloved Wolfgang. She didn't know how she, herself, could go on either. She broke away from Wolfgang and went out to the garden, and cried and cried. And she was crying so much, her tears were watering the plants.
https://i.postimg.cc/2S3NcnCD/sakura-crying-into-the-plants-in-teh-garden.png
Wolfgang came out and walked over to her and held her close to him.
Wolfgang: "I'm so sorry, Sakura, I didn't mean to upset you. We've just never talked about this, even when my mother passed. I just love you so much, Sakura. My life just wouldn't be the same without you..."
https://i.postimg.cc/0rRZYR5j/I-JUST-DONT-KNOW-WHAT-I-WOULD-DO.png
Sakura started crying again, "I...I don't know how I can go on if you're not here Wolfgang. I just love you so much. My heart aches just thinking about this. I never thought I could love someone as much as I love you...but I do...I do. I just wish...I wish there was some way we could be together...forever."
Wolfgang embraced her again and took her hand in his: "Come on inside, Sakura, and I'll brew a pot of tea and we'll just sit together..."
https://i.postimg.cc/02hrC5qc/didnt-mean-to-upset-you.png
Sakura nodded her head, and dried her eyes, and they went inside and had some tea together, and had a long talk about the frailty of life.
