CHAPTER NINE: Death!

Recap time! Basically, the household held three birthday parties in a day. They were Hannah's, Nate's, and Josh's. They had pretty good times and the family had grown bigger! Hannah is now a toddler, Nate is ready for his young adult life, while Josh should start thinking about retirement, now.

Josh: I'm not retiring until I fulfill my LTW.

Only a few more cases to go and Josh's good for a retirement.

Josh: Yes!

So, for this chapter, we'll be talking about death. But, before...

Josh: Did I die?!

But before we get there, I would...

Josh: Tell me! Is it my death we're gonna be talking about?

I would like to concentrate on other matters, first.

Josh: ...Hello? Talk to me!

Well, since Hannah has grown into a toddler, she'll be needing to learn those 3 basic skills in life.

Josh: It must be mine... Right?

Mostly, Bella would take time to teach but Josh also helps when others are out. And as for Nate, he has gotten a job in the science career like Bella. Well, its been his LTW to be Robot-Creature Cross-Breeder. It's the 9th career level. So, off he starts his working days happily. And since gardening skill is no big matter for him (well he's been helping Bella tending the garden near the house), so he's always a step away from promotion!

Josh: ...

Here's a snapshot of Bella teaching Hannah to talk while a paparazzi snaps their picture. Well, the front door really needs a blind or curtain or something to filter uninvited eyes-trespassing!

Max: "Err.. Hello? You can click that shutter on me, too. I'm a 3-star celebrity. Hello?"

Josh: No doubt... You're not talking to me anymore...

The family will get bigger in no time so Josh thinks it's best to totally renovate the house. Here's the first plan of the house. It's 2 storeys and has that pagoda-like roof. It looks cool but Bella wants a more modern house.

Asian Home

Final touch!

Later, the family is holding another birthday's celebration. It's Max's! And since the house has gotten bigger, it sure accommodates the growing people in the house. Everyone's getting their very own bedroom. And a Butler's hired to keep the house clean and managed.

Josh: This is so sad...

On the ground floor, the library, hot tub, nursery, laundry room, kitchen and dining hall are placed. There are 1 bathroom and a half toilet on the ground floor. On the second floor, the couple's master bedroom is placed, with 2 extra mini rooms of toilet and computer room. Nate's bedroom is on the other side, across the Butler's room. And they share the bathroom between their rooms.

P/S: The Butler's a lady. ;p

Josh: I never get the chance to advise Nate to behave, and now I will never get the chance, ever...

And lastly, on the second floor, there are 2 bedrooms. Max's and Hannah's. Since Hannah's a toddler, she'll be sleeping in the nursery, and that means Max is alone. Really alone on the highest floor. And he's got a bathroom next to his room, too.

Josh: Sure suits his Loner trait. He'll be enjoying the solitude...

Enough talking of the house, let's proceed to Max's birthday. Bella has bought a cake, and placed it on the table. They are waiting for more guests to come while enjoying the HD TV on the wall.

Nate: "Grow up, buddy! Don't be so nerdy. *serious face" Max: "Am I that nerdy?"

And as the guests start filling the dining hall, Max proceeds to blow the candle.

Max: "Maybe I should date you, Tami?"

And boo-yah! Max is a young adult now!

And my bad, I totally forget it's Hannah's birthday, too. Someone puts her down on the floor and a minute later, sparkles!

Hannah: "Me want cake, too..."

And as the night goes by, guests start departing. Nate's outside, jumping on the trampoline when he hears  the Butler screams from the kitchen.

Josh: It's time......

Nate runs inside and...

Josh: He doesn't look like me... Oh, I'm still alive!

And that night, Josh lost his first best friend when he first arrived in Sunset Valley. Remember this picture?

Josh: Jared Frio!

Yeah, its him. R.I.P Jared Frio...
