Mum making a cake and inviting a guest over.
Right after she hung up the phone, she got a message.
Wow, even bigger celebrities are Duchess' fans.
She got dressed up cause she went to meet the guest outside. Came back and put candles on the cake.
The guest was Elliana. Duchess was good at making the cake but didn't know how to make ambrosia. Elliana did. Duchess was trying to warm up the relationship a bit.
Elliana stuck around for a while. Little Vanessa came out too to see the sim who was gonna give her life.

But the cake was waiting.
It was the twins' birthday! Biolina was the older one so she went first.
Even before she could have a makeover, she went to get Gardenia too.
Dad was having a naked late night snack.
Gardenia lit her own candles.
Blowing them out.
Well, the girls grew up to be as follows. Biolina was charming and lucky with the aspiration of musical genius. Must be taking after grandma Irisha.
Gardenia grew up to be still hyper, artistic and still had effects from her happy toddler days. She must have been a little inspired by Elliana coming over with the intention to bring Vanessa, her good friend, back to life. So she had the aspiration of becoming a good vampire. But that lasted very little. Since she was so sociable, just like mum, she wanted to be friend of the world instead. Also the artistic side of her must have come from Irisha too. Wow.
Both of the girls had a makeover though and they were very... glitzy.
Gardenia freshening up in the mirror. With a dirty toilet behind her.

As the girls got older the bills went higher. Well, mostly cause they had the heating on in the house. For the first week of winter in Windenburg they had to pay 16222.

Dad received a message from Robin.
Ah! They're doing better finally.

Mum received a positive message too.
Oh yeah, Duchess is a Goldsmith but the public doesn't know it.
Biolina didn't know who she was.
Mum calmed her down.

Gardenia was messaging too. And her friend, Mateo, texted back.
It wasn't a date! She was still too young, she felt. But she got her mum and twin and they all went out.
Just a little snowball fight at the beautiful place.
Oop, Mateo fell.
Once they were done with fun, Duchess had work to do.
While Biolina was listening to mum's speech, Gardenia was having fun with Mateo. But eventually they had an argument and the boy wasn't dressed warmly enough and turned blue. Gardenia sent him home.

Barone called once Duchess was done with her speech.
Nice.

Little Vanessa called too.
Yes! Elliana and Vanessa will be happening soon.

Also, the twins took a selfie together.

Gardenia. Biolina.

They all went on to a place where Duchess could paint a political mural, the Art Gallery. The girls found the bubble blower for the first time. They both hated it!
They preferred different kind of entertainment.

Also, some townies were bad enough with their outfits. Mix that with the artsy and...
Why even wear clothes!?

Argh! It was the Art Gallery. So obviously Anabelle was there. She approached Duchess as she was painting her mural.
Phew, that was mild!
