Gen 1-Final Chapter and Heir Voting

Candy: MOM!!! MOM!!
Thistle: What honey? I'm in the kitchen cooking breakfast!

Candy: Mom, none of my school clothes fit me anymore! They are all too short!
Thistle: I knew you were probably getting close. What do you say we both play hooky and go shopping today?
Candy: Are you serious? Yay!

Thistle and Candy finally found Candy a new cute little outfit that suited her sweet personality. They also got Bubbles a couple of new things.

The Tea Household had been a busy one for the past few years. Candy had picked up an interest in playing chess and writing like her dad.

Thistle had finally decided it was time to go for a new look herself. A little more mature, motherly look. (And apparently she likes to randomly run from yetis as well lol)

Candy and Thistle had finally started to build a better bond. Bubbles and Thistle had always been close but Candy was a Daddy's girl until she was around 9 or 10.

Pepper was still loving football and was now a wide receiver for the Sweet Berry High Sugar-Rushes. Bubbles loved to get out and play catch whenever Pepper had a spare minute.

Bubbles was also taking after Thistle with her new interests in cooking. Her mother had bought her an Easy-Berry Cake Oven for Christmas and she was already turning out muffins and pies!


Strawkiwi had finally reached a more level writing career. No more were the ups and downs of the old days with the long periods in between novels. In fact, his children's books were much easier for him to write so he had a lot more free time to read some of his own favorite writer's newest releases.

He was also making a lot of time for his family. He and Pepper tossed the old pigskin around at least every other evening after dinner.

Peppercini was growing up much quicker than Thistle would have liked. Brandy the babysitter had gone off to college early and left Peppercini behind and broken hearted. He seemed to recover quickly because a few nights after they had broken up, Thistle overheard him on the phone with a new girl, Mellisa...with two "l"s. Thistle disliked Melissa or Mellisa, whatever her name was, even more than before.

Thistle didn't have to worry long because it quickly became apparent that she was only interested in Pepper during football season, because as soon as it was over, so were they. Pepper seemed to be a little defeated and after a little encouragement from Thistle, started taking up cooking as a way to stay distracted. After many smoke-filled kitchens, Pepper started to improve and his family thought his food a little better than edible.


Thistle was working on her cooking skills as well. Since starting work back as a pastry chef, Thistle had become quite popular in the cooking world. She began climbing the later and was now working a an Executive Chef at Julia Childerberry's restaurant "Le Tartare". She was also on a mission to learn every possible recipe and was literally flying through cookbooks. ;)

In addition to cooking, Thistle had taken up gardening. After her first couple of seasons she even had a few fruits and veggies to show for it.


Honeydew was still doing well academically. She seemed to keep to herself a lot and could either be found playing chess, or with her newest hobby, playing the guitar. In fact, she had told Thistle and Strawkiwi recently that she was planning to go to music school shortly after graduation from high school.

Of course it wasn't long before Peppercini's 18th birthday, and the twins' 14th birthday were rolling around. We had the twin's birthdays first. Both girls took in deep breaths from across the kitchen table and

made blew their candles out at the same time.


As teenagers, the twins changed even more in front of Thistle and Strawkiwi's eyes.


Bubbles had recently enrolled in a karate class at school and was truly enjoying it. Thistle was even able to give her some pointers. However, Bubbles seemed to be a little bitter towards Candy. Candy was sweet and friendly and generally go along with everyone. Bubbles started giving Candy mean looks here and there as if she were jealous somehow.

But Candy did not seem to notice and they never seemed to fight so Thistle began to forget all about it. Thistle's twins were all grown up. With no more babies around and her oldest child to soon be an adult himself, Thistle suddenly felt old. Before she knew it, it would be time to retire and pass on her legacy to one of her children. She loved them all so much and she didn't know how they would choose.
