Last round, Mackerel and Christin finally started to come to terms with their son Garnet's...hobby of stealing items from around town. Mackerel aged from adult to elder, and Christin continued to advance in the critic career.
Christin: Yeah, hi mysterious voice....Mackerel, we need to talk...
Is this a bad time?
Christin: I just saw our credit card bill...did you spend all this money feeding llamas in Salvadorada?
Mackerel: What? No, of course not. Who in their right mind would pay for that?
Um, I might have a theory...
Christin: Wait...you did it?
No, but...you might want to go have a talk with your son. And I'm still a bit confuses as to how you guys have credit cards...
Mackerel: That's it...this has gone on long enough...
But I guess we can figure that out later.
Mackerel: We're on to your little game, Garnet. Did you honestly think we wouldn't find out?
Garnet: What's the big deal? It's a charity....don't you want those llamas to eat?
Mackerel: That's not the point...
Amethyst: Dad, can you please lighten up a bit before Liam gets here?
Liam?
Garnet: He's her new loser boyfriend...
Mackerel: Hey! That's enough. And we're not done with this yet, by the way...once Liam goes home you and I are going to have a long talk.
Well...Liam seems like a winner so far...
Amethyst: Sorry about the mud out front...
Liam: It's ok...I think I got most of it off. Thanks again for letting me use the shower.
Amethyst: No problem.
Liam: And...um...now that I'm all cleaned up...um...oh, man...this sounded so much better in my head...
I think she got the message. And they are pretty cute together...
Garnet: Stupid Dad...what does cleaning the stupid bathroom have to do with anything, anyway? He thinks this will change anything he's got another thing coming...
So I take it that talk with your dad didn't exactly go your way?
Garnet: Does it look like it did? I can't believe he's treating me like some kind of criminal...
Yeah, can't imagine why...
Garnet: Whatever. After tonight I don't have to listen to anyone anymore...
Well, not since the only police officer in town quit to become a mixologist...
Except the weather report, perhaps?
Garnet: Come on, Mom...why'd you book the park when it was going to rain?
Christin: It's not like I had any way to know, Garnet....(sigh) I guess we'll just have to have the party in the visitor center...
The visitor center? You mean that really tiny building with the bathrooms?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is breaking some sort of fire code...
Happy birthday, dear Garnet...even if I can barely see you...
And to round out the annoying trait lottery...
Garnet: Hey, you...
Haiti: Hey...I just wanted to stop by and say Happy Birthday again. You rushed home so fast last night...
Garnet: Yeah...Mom said something about breaking the fire code.Say, you want to head around back?
Garnet: Haiti, now that we're both out of school there's something I've been wanting to ask...
Garnet: Will you marry me?
Haiti: Are you kidding? Yes, of course!
Looks like there's a lot of cause for celebration around here...
Wait...the school called you?
Garnet: Yeah, why not? I'm an adult now...
It's a really good thing she's graduating...
Amethyst: Thanks for coming, Liam...
Liam: Wouldn't have missed it for the world...
We're doing presents first?
Amethyst: Sure, why not?
I guess it doesn't matter much once you're already a teen...
Happy birthday, dear Amethyst...
You know, that...kind of makes sense that a gloomy loner would be creative.
Oh, it's Liam's birthday too...how convenient.
Wait...he's moving in already?
Amethyst: Yeah...you don't think that's too fast?
Well, it is one fewer person we have to invite over for Splash Fest...
Which is a good thing, because that Hannon family tree reaches far and wide.
Ok, guys...the toddler pool is out for the toddlers...there's a full size pool two feet away.
See? Clam's got the right idea.
Haiti: Did you get them?
Garnet: Uh-huh...just wait until it gets dark.
Do I want to know?
This is the only day I won't say anything about Garnet experimenting with pyrotechnics.
Plus, it provides a nice backdrop for another engagement....
Amethyst: Will you marry me?
Liam: Yes!
Well, I would hope so...you've already moved in.
Christin: This is perfect!
Amethyst: What is perfect?
Christin: Now we can just do both of the weddings at once! We're going to save a fortune!
Amethyst: Are you allowed to do that?
Your uncle Salmon seemed to get away with three at once, so...I guess so.
Assuming the venue hasn't blacklisted the family, at least.
Amethyst: Are you sure you're ok with this? I can talk to my mom...
Haiti: No, it's fine. As long as the ceremonies don't happen at the same time...
Don't worry, I'll take care of that.
Ok, let's do you two first...
And we're back to wedding backup dancers. Good to know.
Complete with levitating children...
Ok, time for ceremony number two...
And it looks like Haiti even brought her guitar along...and Starburst's dancing seems to be entertaining everyone.
And the Hannon cousins are all grown up...
Tetra: It was nice of you to go along with this whole double wedding thing. I thought Salmon was crazy the first time...
Amethyst: It's ok, really...wait, what's that noise?
(sigh) Let me guess...
Brawl day?
Alderaan: Of course! You don't think I'd really attack someone at a wedding, do you?
I would hope not. Anyway, this seems like a good point for me to be on my way. Enjoy the rest of the wedding, guys. I'll see you next round.
A Message From the Mysterious Voice: So, most of this lot wasn't that eventful. Garnet getting Amethyst's school calls after he aged up was weird. I didn't know that siblings could get those. Of course he has no parenting skill yet so he didn't have all the options his parents would have.
