It's Alfred's birthday, and they're celebrating him with a cake in the kitchen.
The twins are aging up too. Happy birthday!
To give everyone a comfortable sleeping space, Vera and Benedikte have taken over their parents' bedroom. Alfred and Becca have installed a murhpy bed in the living room.
They have slightly renovated the house, installed some more lighting and bought some new furniture. The house is small, but very comfortable for the family.
Alfred and Becca don't have a proper bedroom anymore, but that's ok. When you're used to living crowded, it's fine.
For the next few days, Aksel and Zora are both waiting to enroll in university. They're so excited to go to Foxbury!
Finally they both get accepted to Foxbury and move into one of the dorms on campus. Aksel is going to study Physics. Zora wants to study Computer Science, but didn't get into the distinguished degree. So she's doing Communication this first semester and hoping to get into distinguished CS next term.
They live in the same housing, but have separate rooms.
When it's finally weekend, they use the time as best they can to get all remaining homework and other coursework done as well as getting some exercise and socialize with fellow students.
Back at the dorm late evening, they kiss good night before they head to their respective rooms.
Today is New Year's Eve, and they're getting some coursework done before the big party at the commons. The turnup for the countdown is huge, it's like practically all of Foxbury is there.
They have three rooms in their tiny home: Bathroom, living/kitchen area with murhpy bed, and a small quiet room where they can work out and study/write assignments.
They have also started establishing a small garden out back.
Aksel is proud of his cleaner bot that he keeps upgrading and working on.
He's entered it into the bot contest, but hasn't won any prices yet.
Today is Love Day, so they're taking a break from studying and robot building to spend a romantic evening at the local bar. For two nerds like themselves there are plenty of fun games to play here.
Some arcade gaming is the ideal way to end Love Day for these two.
Right across the street from their house is a small fishing pond. This morning Aksel spends some time fishing before breakfast. Then it's time to start the day. Zora is already far into her homework.
Aksel then goes to the library to work on his presentation. Both he and Zora are part of the Brainiacs club, and he gets some extra cred points from doing his coursework here.
Aksel never misses a Bot Contest, and this time he spent most of the event talking to this servo that he was extremely fascinated with. What if he manages to build one of those himself one day?
At least he won the contest with his cleaning bot this time, that's something!
The two of them have been studying, studying, studying for their upcoming exams. For Aksel, this is his very last semester.
Zora will have to do one more semester because she changed majors midway, and is now doing a distinguished computer science degree.
Aksel is very excited for his graduation ceremony, but typically enough some Britechester students have pranked the ceremony building with rival school banners.
Take that, dragon!
When Aksel returns home from graduation he gets the most wonderful surprise of his life. Zora asks him to marry her!
It doesn't take long before Evelina shows up to congratulate them.
Aksel spends the afternoon roller skating with his mom in the neighborhood.
Aksel applies for a job as a mechanical engineer, and since he graduated with honors from a distinguished degree he gets a level 8 position. Their tiny home doesn't have room for a robot crafting station, so he spends a lot of time working at the library when he doesn't go into the office.
This means he can spend more time with Zora, who is studying for her last semester.
With Aksel's signing bonus they've been able to do some work on their back garden, and have installed a bee house! And since it's summer, they've bought a kiddie pool to cool down in.
There's often stuff to fix around the tiny home, and Aksel is always equipped for it.

The girls still look very identical.

It's a beautiful afternoon, and lots of Sulani locals are gathered at the main square.
While Becca earns some money from the decorations, her family is having a nice time around the bonfire.
They enjoy the evening and the food, and the kids get to stay up a bit longer than usual.
Happy birthday Aksel!
Justin is there too, and Aksel is happy his dad could make it to his birthday party.
They have a great time, Aksel is very happy with his party.

Now begins a time of many microwaved meals.
Aksel has especially high ambitions and doesn't miss a single opportunity to study and be prepared for all classes.
Zora has joined the E-sports team, so she spends most evenings gaming with her teammates.
But she also makes sure to do all her homework on time, although it's a struggle sometimes.
Although they are both very busy with different classes, they spend a lot of time together - even if it's just doing homework together.
Aksel likes to hang out at the commons while Zora is off to an E-sport meeting.
She usually joins when she's done.
Poor Zora lost the juice pong game...
Back at the dorm late evening, they kiss good night before they head to their respective rooms.
Which turns out to be a lot of fun!
It's Monday again and time for exams - better show each other some support and wish good luck!
The exams went well, and they're spending the rest of the beautiful day outside in the snow.
Second term is well under way already - Aksel finished the first one with straight A's!
This was a great way to celebrate Winterfest
Happy new year!
Finally a shared room and double bed

She tries to cheer herself up by joining Aksel and some other students at the commons, but she feels down all evening.
New day, new possibilites. New spring flowers have bloomed!
After lectures, they do their homework outdoors by the library.
It's practical because it's closer, and also less crowded.
But this afternoon is for fun! It's school spirit day, and they've decided to participate for once.
They play juice pong againt two other students, who seem to be winning.
At least he won the contest with his cleaning bot this time, that's something!

Of course he wants that. What a summer this is!
