Short Summary About the Shens

February 28, 2013

Life goes on normally for the Shens, although it's not entirely normal for Dylan, who is still thinking a lot about Karen Helgason and hopes that their friendship will turn into something more soon.

But while this happens, he keeps himself busy with his study of Alchemy,  which is, besides Karen, what interests him the  most.

His latest successful experiment was the creation of the Melancholy Serum.

To mix his potions, Dylan needs herbs, rocks and sometimes insects like butterflies. By the way, here we see him with a Monartch Butterfly, a common species valued in $7.

 Dylan also continues experimenting with the magic beans plant. A few days ago, the effect o one of those changed the color of his skin to an intense blue.

Like they say: "You are what you eat". In Dylan's case he would be some kind of blueberry.

His parents haven't noticed what happened to him yet, but being both of them science enthusiasts, used to Dylan's experiments, they surely won't be surprised.

Fortunately, Dylan recovered his natural color just in time for prom, which will be tonight!

Meanwhile, Lei continue to make progress with his Handiness skill. He has already improved it to Level 8.

To celebrate this, Sienna made his favorite dish: Dim Sum. By the way, Sienna has also made great progress with her Cooking skill.

And prom night arrived. A limousine has come to pick up Dylan, who managed to ask Karen to go with him, but they'll meet at the dance.

So many things can happen on prom night. The first dance, the first kiss, the firste breakup... It's an event that no teenager could ever forget!

After Dylan's graduation, Sienna went back to Cina to finish the quest entrusted to her by Adaeze Min, and to buy -at last- her dreamed vacation home.

  This is the house Sienna chose, simple but pretty and very cozy.

Sienna sent her family a postcard of the city, along with the announcement that they already had a new house, and that she hoped they could enjoy it together.

As she is alone and with a lot of time to spare, Sienna is practicing her recipes in her new kitchen.

Another view of the recently bought vacation house.

The bedroom... 

The bathroom.

The living room.

And even a small area to practice Martial Arts.

 

Once installed in her new house, Sienna returned with Adaeze Min, sahe accomplished the mission and received what was left of her reward.

But what was really important of her trip was the acquisition of a vacation home she hopes to bring his family to soon. It  may not be immediately, though, due to their occupations back at Aurora Skies. They'll have to wait until everyone has some free time. Hopefully it will be soon!
