During Winterfest, everyone had been so busy, including April, everyone forgot about her birthday.
First thing in the morning, she grew up. Into a teen. She had a happy childhood and gained a trait for it. She also had a good sense of humour. But... she was also evil. And still going through her mean streak phase. Oh no! What happened!? And she, scarily, wanted to be the leader of the pack. Should she start a new Goldsmith club!?

Anyway...
At least April was positive about this. As were her sisters. Duchess and little Vanessa didn't care much for it either, like dad.
No time in the morning to watch telly though. Gardenia was trying to get her responsibility level out of the irresponsible range by learning lines for her drama club. She's not gonna be an actress if she keeps slacking off.

Growing kids have been taking her time but Duchess finally managed to make another video.
Dad went to work and the kids to school. Minus April. Since she grew up this morning her school things need to be sorted out as she's going to high school now.
Well, Vanessa wasn't really a Goldsmith but Duchess took the responsibility to look after her.
So the day was in full bloom and Elliana couldn't come out and over so Duchess and April went over to her.
Duchess asked Elliana to move in real quick for a short amount of time. Eventhough the vamp didn't like kids, she moved in...
...and got to cooking. Ambrosia.
April left school early to come eat a very important meal.
Here we go!
She became alive and had a makeover!
What beautiful happy girl!
And she moved back in with her father Steven Gowers. Elliana also moved back into her own place... or the old Goldsmith place.

Heck yeah Duchess is a great person!

She then received a phone call offering a job as a tech guru. Nope! She had been with her cause for so long. She was getting old. But she was not going to die before she made the thing a success!

Ah! Could this be the reason for April's evilness!? Aunt Katra refusing that cuddle back when April was a tot!?

As for Barone's work ventures... He was still very much working.
He had reached the top so he tried to keep steady at it.

After school day, the girls finally watched the TV show premier.
Biolina.
 And um... Gardenia and April. Gardenia is obviously sick. She looks lovely otherwise. Gardenia got herself out of irresponsibility in the morning but since she was sick and wanted to see the premier, she missed acting class again and bam! she was back in the irresponsible range.
But why act yourself when you can watch others acting? The premier was great. The girls loved it.

Mum had been outside protesting and streaming it at the same time. Some classy townie fashion could be seen again. They clearly got their seasons mixed and... day time too.
But!
Finally! She raised 14 075 simoleons for the cause and had 49 registered supporters. the numbers could be higher but she did what she could while also being a mum of three and a ghost girl and a wife.

This called for a celebration. They all had wanted to go ice skating again.
But Duchess' supporters followed her, in her phone. Oh well, she couldn't skate for too long anyway. Got too tired quickly these days. As did dad.
Duchess went home.
Gardenia built a snow pal with her sis Biolina.
But eventually Biolina went home too.

Barone and April sat down together at the nearby restaurant, the food poisoning place.
The two had some serious stuff to talk about so Gardenia sat at a different table. Texting Mateo excessively in the middle of the night.

It turned out that since April was adopted before Duchess and Barone were married, he wasn't officially her father. So they talked and Barone was her caregiver now. So... confetti!

Duchess was talking to a random stranger while waiting for her food.
Ugh, oatmeal! And healthy tea. She was trying to be healthy and maybe cure her illness.

And the night ended. As did the TV holiday. It was a good success for the females. Barone must have missed the show or maybe he didn't like it but the HD was unsuccessful for him.
