Laurent Family Rotation 4:

Since Jace Laurent made the decision to move out on his own, Greta Laurent made her way to talk to her husband, Aldo Pancakes.

They sat down, and Greta excitedly announced that her brother moved out and Aldo can move in with her. However, there was one stipulation.

"I'll need your help with the business. My family is your family now, and I need your support to help keep things together. My family is more than happy to have you here, but I just wanted to put that out there."

Aldo smiled and said, "That's absolutely no problem. Maybe I could teach some art classes there too?"

Greta was excited and told him that art classes would be great. They kissed, and Greta went back to work. However, she found that she was being audited unexpectedly. She saw an opportunity she couldn't afford to miss, and fudged some numbers to bring in an extra 1500 simoleons. Anything for her family's legacy. Any consequences to those choices will have to be explored in the next rotation!

Laurent Family Rotation 4:

Jace Laurent felt kind of uncertain about how things went with Siobhan, so he was ready to move on. He felt like flirting again with someone with what he's learned so far, and found a stunning woman on Cupid's Corner. He somewhat knew Terra, as she was another coworker. She was also a bombshell on a season of Woohoo Island, and almost won until she ended up cheating on her girlfriend with a guy from Casa Amor.

However, he couldn't deny she was gorgeous. So he met up with her, and offered her a rose as they found each other. She seemed flattered, and accepted it right away without hesitation.

They met up for brunch at a diner, and got to know each other. They spent the whole date flirting, and there was definite chemistry between them. It was nice to be able to flirt back and forth, but as their food arrived, they were both just thinking about how to get out of there.

They sat on a bench outside, without anyone else around. Jace looked at her and said, "I just had to let you know. I think you're super attractive. Like, I don't think I've met anyone as stunning as you before."

Terra smiled back and said, "You're not too bad yourself, handsome."

He looked at her, and knew where things were heading. He decided he wanted to give some public woohoo a shot, and they hid behind a large tree to block view as much as possible.

As their bodies got closer, things started heating up between them. They got carried away with each other, then got dressed again and commented on the great date. It might not be anything serious, but Jace is more than okay with that.

As Jace returned home, he looked in the mirror. He was pleased with his success, but realized he needed to find love within himself, too. After trying and failing so many things, he was able to realize that he has a lot of good qualities to offer others.

He started to feel ready to go out on his own, and moved to Willow Creek to start his own independent future. Soon, he'll be ready for a relationship of his own, but who will it be with?

Laurent Family Rotation 4:

The next evening, it was prom already! Andre Laurent showed up with their friend Zelmira, and started dancing. They had a great night hanging out, and watching who won royalty and jester for the night.

As the night started coming to an end, Andre sat outside with Zelmira. He had a question burning on his mind. He wasn't sure if something was going on with Zelmira. They haven't really been flirting, but... are they really just friends?

He decided to just ask them. "Are you into me? Like, I'm just curious. This was just as friends, don't worry, I'm not gonna act like this was a date. But like... Are you attracted to me?"

Zelmira laughed a bit and said, "Attracted? I mean, you're alright."

Andre was a bit hurt and joked, "Damn, only alright?? I mean... Nothing's wrong with you either, I guess, haha."

Then he decided to open up a bit to them. "I mean... I'm ace, though, so... I guess everyone's 'just alright' to me."

They laughed a bit about the moment and went back inside.

Now that they cleared up there's nothing romantic going on, they took some pictures together as just friends. They didn't really turn out that great, though.

They went to an after party at the park and parted ways, saying to have fun. Then, Andre looked over and his heart skipped a bit staring at a girl he saw.

He got a bit closer to her as some music played, and she turned around to look at him. As their eyes met, he instantly formed a crush. He kissed her hands, and she seemed really into it, so he just kept going.

After Jace realized how fast things just moved, he ran off to find Zelmira. He asked to tell them something while they went on a haunted ride together. On the ride, he told them all about this girl that he just met and caught some romantic feelings for. It's the first time he's really had a crush like this, and he shared all the details, even though it was a brief encounter. What a memorable prom!

Laurent Family Rotation 4:

The next morning, it was time for Nicholas and Anastasia Laurent to age up! They went from infants to toddlers, now able to move around more freely! They grow up so fast, and now they can also spend more time going out with the family places!

Laurent Family Rotation 4:

That night, Greta Laurent went to see her husband, Aldo Pancakes. It was still Love Day, and although she's been working, she took time off to see him. He greeted her with a kiss upstairs and looked forward to their time together.

Aldo asked how she was doing lately, and she said, "Business is rough, but it's starting to get better. I'm figuring things out finally, I think."

Aldo then asked with an uncertain expression, "So... Can we finally move in together then? You know I'm ready whenever. Living with my parents still isn't great. I think my mom's going a little crazy."

Greta cracked a smile, hoping to lighten the mood as she responded, "Soon! Soon. Promise. I can't leave my family, you get that, right?"

Aldo leaned in and said, "Is there anything I can do to help? Maybe... relieve some stress?"

They both smirked, and headed to the hot tub outside.

They got outside in the hot tub, but Greta still had more on her mind. "Aldo, I just... I can't let that house be sold off if we run out of money. It's been in my family for generations. My parents are getting older, too, and I don't think I can rely on them to keep things going alone."

Aldo was disappointed, but let her go on. "I can't move in with you. I'm the oldest, I have to make sure things turn out fine. But... Once my siblings move out... Then I think we can do this. Obviously not counting the infants. There's not even room for all of us that live there right now."

Aldo seemed sad, and nodded.

He cheered himself up a little and said, "Anything for my beautiful wife. It's crazy how much I feel I've changed from knowing you. I want to give this a real shot."

Greta got closer to him to reaffirm him. "Jace will be out soon, promise. Then Andre will leave, too, and... then we could have our own kids."

As she talked about their future children, the two kissed, and woohoo'd in the hot tub together.

Laurent Family Rotation 4:

The evening after Jace Laurent's date, Greta Laurent was working hard and found that her business ranking has improved! Now, she's able to inspire her customers with her story of success, saving the Laurent family from losing their home.

It's just... not quite saved yet, but on the way!

Andre Laurent was at school during Love Day, but with no romantic prospects. He spent the day as usual hanging out with some of the guys he's acquaintances with, and kept doing his work.

Jace was hoping that Siobhan would go on a date with him on Love Day, but she turned him down. He still wanted to see her though, so he decided to have a club meeting! He managed to get a few other members to enjoy the day with, and got all set up at the nearby lounge to host his debate club.

They have a room reserved just for their club, where they all practiced their debate skills against each other for awhile. However, this is the TARTOSA debate club, so they still are going to have a good time! After some heated debate, they all went upstairs to hit the dance floor!

Jace approached Siobhan and handed her a rose. "You know, because it's Love Day and all. Obviously this isn't a date or anything, but I wanted you to have this."

She appreciated and accepted the rose, and everyone went to get some drinks after.

Siobhan asked Jace to dance while they finished their drinks, and he accepted. However, Siobhan started dancing in a way that started to heat things up. She stared at him in a way that sent some signals, and then he approached her.

"Want to... get out of here?"

He went with her to the showers, and the two hooked up. They might not be romantic, but nothing wrong with a woohoo here and there!

Although... After the woohoo, Jace found himself still feeling pretty bored. It was his first time, and he left feeling sore and like it wasn't that great of an experience. That's rough, Jace!

Laurent Family Rotation 4:

Jace Laurent was at home reflecting on his next stage of life as a young adult. He's never dated anyone before, and felt like he wanted to try flirting a bit. He decided to go to a bar and browse Cupid's Corner, since he didn't really know anyone he was interested in yet. But... The first person he saw was his high school principal! Ew!

He thought he might just try a blind date instead. Tomorrow was Love Day after all, so it's a great time to try finding someone to share it with. To his surprise, one of his new coworkers showed up -- Siobhan Fyres. He thought she was a little annoying at first when they met, but he figured he'd still give the date a shot. She was pretty attractive after all.

Since Jace wanted to get flirty with someone, he decided to go in strong. He tried to grab her hands to greet her with a hand kiss, but she pulled away fast and said, "...What are you doing?"

Yikes... Awkward.

They laughed it off, though, and Jace said, "Um... Ignore that. Can we... start over? I wanted to impress you but- nevermind. Let's just... move past it?"

She agreed.

They went to play cards in the back of the bar as an ice breaker instead. Siobhan went to the bathroom after a bit, and Jace collected himself. When she came back, he thought he'd just talk for real.

"So... This is my first real time dating, at least for real. I've never had a girlfriend before or anything, either. I just thought I'd explain.. that."

Siobhan teased a little, "Wow, I'm surprised! Never would have guessed. You are pretty cute, though, so you pull it off."

Jace wanted to flirt back with her, but she interrupted him. "So, even though I might seem flirty, I'm not really romantically attracted to people until I get to know them. So if you actually want to pursue something here, can we just focus on being friends first? Your flirting already needs some work, but I don't really need that anyways."

Jace instead said, "Okay, I get that. I'll try to not comment on you, but... You do have great style. You always seem so put together."

That instantly made Siobhan perk up a little. "I'm actually the leader of a club called the Paragons! It's a fashion-focused group, so I'm glad you took notice of my style. It's kind of my thing!"

"You own a group?" Jace asked, somewhat surprised and in awe. "I've actually been wanting to start my own group too! Want to help me make one?"

Siobhan liked his enthusiasm. "Sure! What's your idea?"

Jace thought for a bit about what he liked to do. "I really do like Debate, although I'm not the best at it. I think it's a skill people don't really engage with much, but maybe I could start a debate club? It can still be fun, though! Would you want to join that group?"

Siobhan smiled and said, "Consider me your first member."

She gave him a wink and said, "You know, I do like a man in leadership. Maybe this whole group thing will work out for you in more ways than you think."

The date began drawing to a close, and they decided to make a handshake for the new debate club. They left the date with a multi-step handshake instead of a kiss, but Jace still felt pretty good about that.

Now he just has to find more members!

Laurent Family Rotation 4:

Meanwhile at school, Andre Laurent felt like making a friend, since he didn't really have any. However, he didn't really connect with anyone at school. After taking a swim break, he thought to use teen Cupid's Corner to see if anyone looked like a chill friend. He saw another teen named Zelmira and thought they seemed cool, but they weren't able to hang out.

He decided to go over to their place instead, since maybe the issue was that they couldn't make it out. They got along pretty well once they got to talking more! Towards the end of their hangout, Andre even asked them to go to prom as friends together. They said yes! Looks like this will be a great step towards new friends.
