Iggy woke just before I closed my game but Chance wasn't far behind and woke just after I opened it.
They didn't even acknowledge each other!
I got excited when I saw Iggy heading back to Chance. He stopped on his way to nurse his aching back
He asked Iggy to watch the stars - probably the most romantic they have been since they were made unselectable There was a brief moment when Chance made a definitely flirty face, but nothing came of it.
The interaction got cancelled somehow and only Iggy made it outside.
He headed to the bar for the last drink instead of going back to Chance.
Chance came into the main house and they danced for a bit before he went off to shower and Iggy checked himself out in the mirror.
Iggy made this face after checking himself out - he must not have liked what he saw or his face is showing sexual frustration
I can't remember what the boys did until the family were called to breakfast but I do know they didn't flirt or woohoo!
I had Jared and Jensen water the garden. Jared rolled a wish to level up
Drew's waking wish was to catch a record sized fish.
I found these two lip-locked and ready for woohoo when they had finished the watering. They have not needed any help from the day they met!
At least the boys try to stay close even if they aren't woohooing.
I had Mikezumi give Chance a friendly hug to get him out of the hot tub. It's safely locked away in the family inventory now!
I was hoping that he would interact with Iggy once the hot tub was gone ... but, no!
Like father, like son but at least this was post woohoo drumming!
Jared had a wish to visit the Day Spa so I treated both the boys to deep tissue massages
Mikezumi's waking wish was to sculpt a masterpiece. I had her work in wood because I like wooden sculptures. Although it's not complete this appeals to the Japanese in me
Dang! I looked through all the SP settings and could nothing to stop this from happening. I might need to create a new caste for Iggy and Drew and see if caste options are more detailed.
After selling the painting, Iggy went inside to give Chance a friendly hug. Both boys are hopeless romantics so I don't know what's wrong!
Mikezumi's sculpture was only brilliant but I am keeping her wish locked in because it's worth 5,000 LTR points.
When Drew got home from school the boys were still not woohooing.
Mikezumi's social bar needed filling so I had her spar with Drew. She won! While they were sparring, Drew rolled a wish to give her a friendly hug. He's a sweetheart
"I can't believe a spindly old woman beat me!"
Drew has a wish to reach level 8 in cooking locked in so I had him prepare Mikezumi's favourite, fish and chips, for dinner. Chance stopped dancing to clean the counter.
When he was done cooking, Drew chatted with his brother while Iggy watched TV.
I remembered the baby was due so I made sure the family ate on time so that Iggy could finish his meal.
Chance was nice enough to let Iggy off the hook and started clearing the dishes by himself
Iggy went into labor just as he asked Jensen to feel his belly!
Jensen didn't react and went straight to Jared for some flirting
So much for doing the dishes!
I found these two watching the stars while waiting for their grandchild to be born When Iggy and Chance married the boys rolled wishes to become grandparents.
To stop Chance from freaking out and perhaps taking Iggy to hospital, I had Mikezumi come in and hug him before clearing the dishes. Chance watched TV so I had Drew join him and change it to the Cooking Channel.
I saw that Jared and Jensen's wish to become grandparents was fulfilled so zoomed in on Iggy just before the baby arrived
Welcome Edie. Her game generated name was Melonie.
I checked her motives and all were good and she was ready to sleep so I didn't have to send Mikezumi in after Iggy put her in the crib.
I thought I would treat the boys to a hoop shooting contest but forgot how much it degrades hygiene and energy levels! That's probably why I retuned autonomous contests out.
After settling Edie, Iggy went to Chance to ask him to watch the stars.
This time it worked!
"Really! It's 2am and you want me to tend to a newborn's needs? I can barely open my eyes!"
"Awwwww, but it's so worth it!"
@Mikezumi Well dag, I wonder what is keeping those two from being romantic with each other. They sure had fun before! Double check your settings that something didn't get changed for unselectables and autonomous. When I moved my Sinclair family to BB I did not check to be sure all the settings moved over and finally realized no one was forming relationships or having babies in that town. A few of the settings did not change and once I fixed that the storks are getting overtime with the babies being born.
I did not realize that sims would sell their paintings right away like Iggy has been doing.
Jensen is giving you a look like 'go away and let me drum'
Awww, congrats on Edie. So happy to see another girl in the family. Mikezumi looks pleased.
Maybe the boys will start on baby # 2 now so you will see some action soon.
@Mikezumi , I hate to say it but I find it rather amusing that Chance and Iggy are not as lovey dovey as your typical couples, it must be driving you bananas though..
Will do more feedback after a little bit of play I’m doing now (first time I’ve played Sims in 4days or so!)
@bekkasan Thanks for the lovely comments
I will definitely be checking my settings but I haven't changed saves so I don't know how their settings would have changed but it's worth a try because they were fine before I made them unselectable. They weren't as lovey dovey as the dads but they definitely did their share!
I kind of suspected that Iggy would sell his paintings because years ago a sim of mine died while painting. When he visited as a ghost a while later he finished the painting and I got excited, thinking I could keep it as a memento of him, but he sold it immediately!
I don't mind if they don't rush to have another baby because they are still young but I would like to see SOME action!
@Charlottesmom I hope you have fun playing the sims! 4 days is a long time!
It IS driving me totally bananas! I am not used to sims that don't woohoo and I need them to make babies or I am stuck with a female heir NEVER! If worse came to worse, I will add the flirty trait to one of the boys, probably Chance because I don't need Iggy flirting with his fathers-in-law!
@mikezumi This is where you are so much stronger them me. I would be 'cheating' my fingers off to get them doing what I want. I totally admire your restraint. I hope changing the trait would work out if it is not a setting.
@bekkasan I am totally not against cheating but there's not a lot I can do since I can't control the boys. I have cheated a lot in this save as that is the way I play but I never made Jared and Jensen controllable until Chance took over and I don't want to take control of Chance or Iggy just to make babies either. It will happen somehow but I have time so am not panicking yet
So, I just came out of game after playing another sim day and still no woohoo! I added the flirty trait to Chance and still nothing. I looked at their SP settings and could see nothing that would stop them from being romantic and the fact that they ask each other to watch the stars shows me they can be romantic to at least that extent. I am now wondering if my global setting for households to only have 3 kids is stopping them but that wouldn't stop flirting .... I hope! If nothing happens after another sim day, I will make them selectable again and play them in the more traditional style of ISBIs in that I simply will have to trust myself not to control them. I am pretty sure I can do it because I don't like directing sims much anyway.
The boys woke within moments of each other.
Chance tried to pull out his guitar but Iggy interrupted, probably to ask him how his day was.
The boys didn't flirt once but Chance did ask Iggy to watch the stars.
Mikezumi tended to Edie's needs while Drew called the family to breakfast.
Drew's waking wish was the use the MA training dummy.
I had Mikezumi put Edie in the living room so I could take pics of her when she aged up.
She had Iggy's hair colour but I used the Consort hair mod to give her a blend of her parents' hair. Although she looks mostly like Iggy, the profile is wrong so I think she must have Chance's nose.
Mikezumi filled Edie's fun bar when she aged up
Still no flirting! This is frustrating the heck out of me!
I had Mikezumi take Edie and her dads to the park.
Drew had a field trip to the Theatre. Cary Frio (Jared's son) was chaperone. The boy next to him is Iggy's cousin, Dedric Svard.
May also went along
When I got back to the park, I saw an NPC firefighter was about to interact with Chance.
What the!? She had never met him before and she was declaring him a nemesis!
"How dare you talk to one of my boys like that!"
I got so distracted by that nasty piece of work that I didn't realize that Iggy had started teaching Edie how to walk!
Mikezumi and I were about to take this to the next level but I got a pop up that the group had been disbanded because of attitude and I was super peeved! How dare the game tell me how to run my groupings! And how dare the game leave my unselectable boys stranded in a grouping situation!
Although Mikezumi was no longer a part of their group, I had Mikezumi play catch with Chance until Iggy had finished teaching Edie how to walk and then sent the boys home with MC.
I hadn't checked on the boys in a while because I knew they would be fine. Jensen was playing computer games and Jared was practising dunking.
After Mikezumi took Edie home, I checked on the boys before MCing them home and still no flirting
Drew did his homework when he got home from the field trip.
I checked and definitely took away Iggy's snob trait when he aged up but he keeps checking himself out!
I'd heard woohoo and didn't have to look to know that it wasn't Iggy and Chance!
Drew came home with a wish to do a strength workout.
After Iggy checked himself out, he went to Chance to dance. You can't make babies by dancing, boys!
Edie needed to go potty so I got Mikezumi to start on her potty training. I was surprised that she didn't finish it in one shot like she normally does. Ah well, she will be potty trained tomorrow because Mikezumi's FO trait helps her to train toddlers faster.
Iggy chatted with Jensen before wandering off to try his hand at dunking .... unsuccessfully, it would seem
While the family ate, I got a popup that Iggy had reached level 2 in the athletic skill. Notices come slowly for unselectable sims and townies.
Jensen rolled a wish to learn the recipe for spaghetti. That meant he had to level up so I sent him to make pancakes for the following morning.
I noticed that Edie was hungry so I had Grandpa Jensen come in to take care of her needs
The boys watch the stars a lot but never take it any further
I sent the boys fishing before bedtime. They both rolled a couple of fish wishes
Drew broke space rocks until I saw that his social bar was getting low. I had him call May before he went to bed.
The boys watched the stars a second time.
When they were done, Chance went to the wrong bed!
@mikezumi Edie is a blond cutie! Love that look.
I love that you let her be a baby overnight.
Dedric is a cute guy! That Svard clan just has the looks.
Great to see Iggy teaching his daughter how to walk.
Whoops! Double mad NPC firefighter and game being stupid! I don't mind having enemies in the game (Gardenia and Odessa, hehe) but I want it my choice and there needs to be a reason for it, not just walk up and hate someone. Go Mikezumi! Tell her off!
Great day! Jensen is still not dressed....wonder why?
Jared is gorgeous playing bball!
The boys seem to enjoy interacting with each other, so, it seems strange they are not autonomously woohooing.
Have you tried resetting Iggy since you changed the traits. I've found that helps it stick. I had to change a couple of Rafe's original ones that his creator had set (klepto and something else bad, wasn't evil, and you know I wasn't going that way in my games.) He is too cute to be a meanie.
Great potty face! She is going to be a heart breaker. I guess if she has to be the heir she can have that surgical procedure!
That is a beautiful picture of Jensen and Edie!
I wish you luck with the boys. I know you will figure out something since you need more babies!
@bekkasan Thanks for the lovely comments
Edie won't be a true beauty but should look good if I choose the right hair and makeup for her when she grows up. She is, however, an adorable toddler
The Svard boys really are a pretty bunch! Both Stefan and Stein are adults now and still look good and their boys have mostly favoured their side of the family
I am like you - if I want enemies I will make them. I don't need stooopid NPCs coming up and giving my sims bad moodlets when they have never even met before!
I will reset both Iggy and Chance when I fire up my game after I comment on your story thread. I notice you have an update and am excited to see what gender the baby is
I will definitely figure something out! If worse comes to worst I will keep Drew as heir and turn May into a male Just kidding. I will work something out with the boys!
I did a trial run of a partial day with the boys selectable but uncontrolled and still all they did was watch the stars. I closed without saving.
I tried again this morning but this time I made the boys selectable and MC reset them. They haven't stopped flirting and woohooing since! I have decided to keep them selectable but keep my hands off them. No problem for me really since I am not a control freak and also got used to being totally hands-off with Jensen and Jared. I am too afraid to make them unselectable again in case they revert back to their woohooless state!
Unfortunately this means they won't be pushed to be chaperones for their kids' field trips but at least this way there will be kids!

I'm glad the MC reset worked.
When you changed traits it may not have fully integrated. I've had that happen and everything looks okay in CAS but a status report from MC shows that the change hasn't happened properly.
Thanks @wendyyi1 I was starting to despair that there would only be the one child! That would not be a good outcome for me because a save without children is no fun at all!
Because the boys were MC reset at 3am when I opened my save, they were miserable so I moved their sliders up a little and then put them to bed. They will not be controlled until a new heir takes over. They slept until 6am when Drew called the family to breakfast.
Mikezumi got Edie up and ready for the day. She's such a cutie! It's a pity she has to grow up when she will just be a pain to me
I sent Jared out to water the garden. He rolled a wish to level up but that will take a couple of days. His waking wish was to kiss Jensen and he already got that
Edie mastered the xylophone
When Chance finished clearing the dishes, Iggy surprised him with a kiss! Now this is how it should be!
Jensen's waking wish was to play a game with Drew. Drew might have mastered MA, but he's only level 7 or 8 in the athletic skill whereas Jensen has mastered it.
I saw the boys heading to the elevator so got ready to take a woohoo shot but, like Jared and Jensen before them, they chose to go down to the basement first.
When Jensen and Drew finished playing catch, Drew headed to the basement to talk to his brother but the elevator door got him
While Drew and his dad were playing catch, it occurred to me that it was after 8 and there was no school bus. I checked the school and saw that it was closed. Although I had received no Graduation notice, resetting the boys must have triggered it. I saw the boys head upstairs and spin into their graduation gowns. Then I saw the rest of the family being pushed. I would rather not have had the family attend graduation but I let it play out.
I have no idea where Drew got the stroller from!
Iggy's parents, Stein and Gwendolyn, were there too!
It wasn't as bad as the last graduation in this save and everyone was out by 1.30p.m. The girl in the graduation gown on the left is one of Iggy's cousins.
Iggy was voted Most Popular and Chance was voted Most Likely to Become a Rock Star.
When the family got home, I MC'd them into their everyday outfits. It didn't take long for the boys to make up for lost time
Because of Graduation Mikezumi didn't get a chance to finish Edie's potty training in the morning so I helped her by moving her slider a little during the ceremony but it had to be taken care of when they got home. Edie is now potty trained
Jared and Jensen had just finished woohooing when they both decided to go for the basketball hoop at the same time. Jensen got there first
The family had Iggy's favourite, grilled cheese, for dinner.
Chance had received an invitation to Thomas Frio's party. Jensen rolled a wish to attend so I had him take Chance and Drew. Surprisingly, this didn't lead to a grouping situation!
I had Jensen prepare a cheese plate. Drew and Chance just stood around. I guess there was nothing to do at this party.
Finally! Jensen came out to talk with Alice Frio and Drew went to talk to his brother. They didn't stay long because it was just too dull!
As they were leaving for the party, I saw Jared start working out to the stereo. I don't know why he stopped when Iggy started dancing because I have seen them dancing and exercising at the same time before.
Since he was doing nothing, I had him get started on teaching Edie how to talk. He didn't get far before she was too tired and had to be put to bed but at least it's been started. Iggy and Chance woohooed in Mikezumi's bed before they too went off to bed.
@Mikezumi I am so happy you got it worked out.
Was lovely seeing them be romantic. Ok....time to get busy! Edie needs a brother or sister.
She is adorable!
Interesting on the belated graduation.
Congrats on the boys getting their awards. Chance could do rock star. He is cute enough!
The I'm done with talking face is so cute!
@bekkasan Thank you I am so relieved to see my boys behaving as they should be!
If neither boy tries for baby in the next sim day I play, risky will be turned on so they will have no choice
Drew's girlfriend will be moving in next time I play as well so once he and May are married and moved out there will be plenty of room for more children!
The boys woke within moments of each other.
Chance made the first move
But they didn't woohoo!
A few minutes later, when Iggy had finished his drink, he pounced on Chance
Meanwhile, Mikezumi woke and got Edie up and ready for the day.
I held off breakfast for 10 sim minutes to give the boys a chance to finish their woohoo
Iggy looks very self-satisfied
Jensen woke with a wish to weed and Jared was still working on his wish to level up from the previous morning. When I saw the watering wasn't going to get him there, I had the boys finish off the gardening and Jared got his wish
Drew's waking wish was to hang out with Chance which was granted over breakfast. He also had a wish to prepare a meal locked in. Because of the wall, I find it hard to get pics of their cooking faces but they are always so cute
The boys flirted when they finished gardening. Once their morning wishes are taken care of, I rarely direct my sims (with the exception of Mikezumi).
Mikezumi still has a wish to sculpt a masterpiece locked in. She didn't manage to get it this time. This (whatever it is) was brilliant.
I sent Mikezumi, Edie, Chance and Iggy to the park. This green haired pudding arrived at the same time. Fortunately she kept to herself.
I had Mikezumi ask Iggy for a game of catch in the hope that Chance would interact with Edie.
He tried several times to pick her up but she was wilfull and kept trying to play with the toys. Iggy is having a hard time because Mikezumi is not far from mastering the athletic skill
I am so glad I installed the mod that makes it more likely that sims will autonomously train toddlers It doesn't work at home because it's dependent on there not being other distractions.
I checked back home and found Drew breaking space rocks. He kept going until he was fatigued. Mikezumi had a lot of gems to collect when she got home!
Jensen and Jared must have been taking a woohoo break
I released Iggy from the game of catch when Edie could talk He went straight to Chance!
After rocking the treehouse, Iggy played with Edie
When I sent them home, Iggy took Edie. I understand that my SP settings allow inactive sims to purchase strollers but Iggy is selectable even if I am not controlling him!
The boys didn't waste any time getting down to business once they were home Neither has tried for baby yet, but they have time.
Mikezumi autonomously went to Edie for a snuggle just as the boys came inside for more lovin'.
I was glad they chose the shower this time because their hygiene bars were getting low.
I timed Drew's birthday so that the boys could finish their woohoo and positioned the rest of the family so that they would fit right in after exiting the bathroom
Nope!
When I was picking his top, I was trying to remember what Chance wears but drew a blank. Never mind. They will be living in different houses
Drew is mostly Jensen but that is definitely Jared's nose!
Chance pulled out his guitar while Iggy cleared the dishes.
He didn't get to play for long!
Edie started crying but only Mikezumi went to her rescue.
Chance got an invitation to May's party. Jensen rolled a wish to go. He took Jared with him. May wasn't there but her father, Don, was.
Jared went inside to chat with Don but Jensen didn't get far because Christin Racket and her father, Shark, appeared in his queue for chats.
Back at home, I found the boys watching the stars. Chance: "What the heck is that thing?"
I checked back at the party and found Jared with this cheesy smile
The boys watched the stars again. I don't mind now because they are woohooing as well
Because they woke up early and it was quite late, the boys were tired.
But it didn't stop them from flirting until nearly 1am!

I wish you luck with the boys. I know you will figure out something since you need more babies!

Edie won't be a true beauty but should look good if I choose the right hair and makeup for her when she grows up. She is, however, an adorable toddler
The Svard boys really are a pretty bunch! Both Stefan and Stein are adults now and still look good and their boys have mostly favoured their side of the family
I am like you - if I want enemies I will make them. I don't need stooopid NPCs coming up and giving my sims bad moodlets when they have never even met before!
I will reset both Iggy and Chance when I fire up my game after I comment on your story thread. I notice you have an update and am excited to see what gender the baby is
I will definitely figure something out! If worse comes to worst I will keep Drew as heir and turn May into a male

I tried again this morning but this time I made the boys selectable and MC reset them. They haven't stopped flirting and woohooing since! I have decided to keep them selectable but keep my hands off them. No problem for me really since I am not a control freak and also got used to being totally hands-off with Jensen and Jared. I am too afraid to make them unselectable again in case they revert back to their woohooless state!
Unfortunately this means they won't be pushed to be chaperones for their kids' field trips but at least this way there will be kids!

I'm glad the MC reset worked.
When you changed traits it may not have fully integrated. I've had that happen and everything looks okay in CAS but a status report from MC shows that the change hasn't happened properly.

Mikezumi got Edie up and ready for the day. She's such a cutie! It's a pity she has to grow up when she will just be a pain to me
I sent Jared out to water the garden. He rolled a wish to level up but that will take a couple of days. His waking wish was to kiss Jensen and he already got that
Edie mastered the xylophone
When Chance finished clearing the dishes, Iggy surprised him with a kiss! Now this is how it should be!
Jensen's waking wish was to play a game with Drew. Drew might have mastered MA, but he's only level 7 or 8 in the athletic skill whereas Jensen has mastered it.
I saw the boys heading to the elevator so got ready to take a woohoo shot but, like Jared and Jensen before them, they chose to go down to the basement first.
When Jensen and Drew finished playing catch, Drew headed to the basement to talk to his brother but the elevator door got him
While Drew and his dad were playing catch, it occurred to me that it was after 8 and there was no school bus. I checked the school and saw that it was closed. Although I had received no Graduation notice, resetting the boys must have triggered it. I saw the boys head upstairs and spin into their graduation gowns. Then I saw the rest of the family being pushed. I would rather not have had the family attend graduation but I let it play out.
I have no idea where Drew got the stroller from!
Iggy's parents, Stein and Gwendolyn, were there too!

Iggy was voted Most Popular and Chance was voted Most Likely to Become a Rock Star.
When the family got home, I MC'd them into their everyday outfits. It didn't take long for the boys to make up for lost time
Because of Graduation Mikezumi didn't get a chance to finish Edie's potty training in the morning so I helped her by moving her slider a little during the ceremony but it had to be taken care of when they got home. Edie is now potty trained
Jared and Jensen had just finished woohooing when they both decided to go for the basketball hoop at the same time. Jensen got there first
The family had Iggy's favourite, grilled cheese, for dinner.
Chance had received an invitation to Thomas Frio's party. Jensen rolled a wish to attend so I had him take Chance and Drew. Surprisingly, this didn't lead to a grouping situation!
I had Jensen prepare a cheese plate. Drew and Chance just stood around. I guess there was nothing to do at this party.
Finally! Jensen came out to talk with Alice Frio and Drew went to talk to his brother. They didn't stay long because it was just too dull!
As they were leaving for the party, I saw Jared start working out to the stereo. I don't know why he stopped when Iggy started dancing because I have seen them dancing and exercising at the same time before.
Since he was doing nothing, I had him get started on teaching Edie how to talk. He didn't get far before she was too tired and had to be put to bed but at least it's been started. Iggy and Chance woohooed in Mikezumi's bed before they too went off to bed.

Was lovely seeing them be romantic. Ok....time to get busy! Edie needs a brother or sister.
She is adorable!
Interesting on the belated graduation.
Congrats on the boys getting their awards. Chance could do rock star. He is cute enough!
The I'm done with talking face is so cute!
The Cowboy and the Mermaid
If neither boy tries for baby in the next sim day I play, risky will be turned on so they will have no choice
Drew's girlfriend will be moving in next time I play as well so once he and May are married and moved out there will be plenty of room for more children!

Chance made the first move
But they didn't woohoo!
A few minutes later, when Iggy had finished his drink, he pounced on Chance
Meanwhile, Mikezumi woke and got Edie up and ready for the day.
I held off breakfast for 10 sim minutes to give the boys a chance to finish their woohoo
Iggy looks very self-satisfied
Jensen woke with a wish to weed and Jared was still working on his wish to level up from the previous morning. When I saw the watering wasn't going to get him there, I had the boys finish off the gardening and Jared got his wish
Drew's waking wish was to hang out with Chance which was granted over breakfast. He also had a wish to prepare a meal locked in. Because of the wall, I find it hard to get pics of their cooking faces but they are always so cute
The boys flirted when they finished gardening. Once their morning wishes are taken care of, I rarely direct my sims (with the exception of Mikezumi).
Mikezumi still has a wish to sculpt a masterpiece locked in. She didn't manage to get it this time. This (whatever it is) was brilliant.
I sent Mikezumi, Edie, Chance and Iggy to the park. This green haired pudding arrived at the same time. Fortunately she kept to herself.
I had Mikezumi ask Iggy for a game of catch in the hope that Chance would interact with Edie.
He tried several times to pick her up but she was wilfull and kept trying to play with the toys. Iggy is having a hard time because Mikezumi is not far from mastering the athletic skill
I am so glad I installed the mod that makes it more likely that sims will autonomously train toddlers
I checked back home and found Drew breaking space rocks. He kept going until he was fatigued. Mikezumi had a lot of gems to collect when she got home!
Jensen and Jared must have been taking a woohoo break
I released Iggy from the game of catch when Edie could talk
After rocking the treehouse, Iggy played with Edie

The boys didn't waste any time getting down to business once they were home
Mikezumi autonomously went to Edie for a snuggle just as the boys came inside for more lovin'.
I was glad they chose the shower this time because their hygiene bars were getting low.
I timed Drew's birthday so that the boys could finish their woohoo and positioned the rest of the family so that they would fit right in after exiting the bathroom
Nope!
When I was picking his top, I was trying to remember what Chance wears but drew a blank. Never mind. They will be living in different houses
Drew is mostly Jensen but that is definitely Jared's nose!
Chance pulled out his guitar while Iggy cleared the dishes.
He didn't get to play for long!
Edie started crying but only Mikezumi went to her rescue.
Chance got an invitation to May's party. Jensen rolled a wish to go. He took Jared with him. May wasn't there but her father, Don, was.
Jared went inside to chat with Don but Jensen didn't get far because Christin Racket and her father, Shark, appeared in his queue for chats.
Back at home, I found the boys watching the stars. Chance: "What the heck is that thing?"
I checked back at the party and found Jared with this cheesy smile
The boys watched the stars again. I don't mind now because they are woohooing as well
Because they woke up early and it was quite late, the boys were tired.
But it didn't stop them from flirting until nearly 1am!
