The rain is completely gone, no rainbow this time, but a beautiful clear blue sky. 

The first Sing-a-gram of the day. (Looks like the recipient wasn't too impressed).

But Ashley's You are Special Sing-a-gram went flawlessly, so she started her day well. Soon enough she'll reach Level 10 of her singing career, then maybe it will be time to move to a bigger city, like Starlight Shores?

We'll see if Adam decides to join her. He probably will since he's very much in love and I don't think he'll want to part with her.

And that's all about the Alto brothers, (for now). They will be back next year for sure. Or sooner? Either way, stay tuned! 😉

Bad weather continues in Sunlit Tides…

And it's just about time for Ashley to leave for work, which for today consists of delivering Sing-a-grams. Since Adam is a writer, he happily doesn't have to leave the house.

Luckily for Ashley, on her way outside, the sky suddenly cleared, and the rain was no longer as strong.

Note: Ashley is wearing a different outfit in the last picture, I don't remember why, I just remember that I had a problem with that save, I made several changes, that's probably why Ash ended up with another look, but the sequence of the story is correct. :)

 Adam and Ashley are temporarily living in the Alto family home. Here they are, having breakfast together before starting their respective workdays.

Before leaving for work Ashley wanted to water the plants in the garden, which in the end was useless cause it started to rain, and it even hailed.

But Ashley didn't care and continued watering plants as if nothing else was happening.

 Aidan is preparing dinner before Denny gets home from work.

Denny has arrived. He really liked the face painting Aidan got at the festival; he also liked the sushi he prepared for him.

The two of them had dinner together, Denny had some news to tell Aidan.

He was promoted at work, finally! He's now a Level 3, Stagehand. Aidan is so happy for him, although he's a little sad as well, cause he hasn't had inspiration to keep painting and advance his career. Hopefully he will soon pass this "painter's block" and be able to continue creating masterpieces. Good luck, Aidan!

 The festival looks pretty deserted, Aidan wishes Denny could have come, but he had to practice and then go to work.

Aidan finally found something interesting and fun to do. 

He was very happy with the result and hopes Denny will like it too.

It's time for a snack and, as always, Aidan can't help but flirt with the guys at the food stands.

In the end, he got a discount on the price of his meal, the rewards of being flirty. :P

 It's a brand new day at Aidan and Denny's house, only Aidan isn't there today.

He is at the Summer Festival, being defeated in soccer by Mary-Sue Pleasant.

Aidan couldn't stand for that to happen, so he asked for a rematch. Mary-Sue thought it would be a piece of cake.

Not this time, Mary-Sue!

Mary-Sue is not happy, now she's the one asking for a rematch.

Aidan says sorry, but the game is over. ;)

Aidan is working in the garden.

Since his accident on the beach, he quit drinking and stopped painting as well (for the time being). He enjoys gardening quite a lot, it keeps him entertained and away from trouble.

Today his gnome, Mr. Bucktooth Butternut came to keep him company and bring him good luck… hopefully. 

Denny is practicing on his keyboard. He needs to improve his piano skill to get another promotion.

Ashley is home safe and sound. Just in time because it has started to rain.

Look at those shelf clouds covering the horizon, it looks like a big storm is coming.

Nope, the storm clouds passed by. It will be another clear, clear night at Sunlit Tides. :)

Resulta que Ashley no llegó a casa temprano porque estaba tratando de entregarle un Sing-a-gram a Alexis, quien se encontraba con Ursula en la Estación de Relajación junto con otro vecino.

Something went wrong and Alexis was not pleased.

Anyway, Ashley earned her $146 simoleons.

Now she can go home, but she must go on foot since the transportation doesn't reach the mountainous parts of Sunlit Tides. Also, there was no moon that night so everything was very dark. Careful, Ash!

Adam, eating dinner alone because Ashley is always late home from work.

He always writes for a good while before going to bed.

Ashley took too long; Adam was exhausted so he went to sleep.

By sunset, the rain stopped and the sun came out, Alexis' clothes could finally dry. It's been a calm day, except, of course, for his brother's accident and the taxi-boat.

The swimmers are gone, the beach is deserted now. Alexis will be able to leave soon.

Ursula is already home, the first thing she does is check if the rain didn't ruin her perfect makeup.

As it is her day off, Ursula, she tried to swim at the beach to accompany Alexis but had to go back home because rain was pouring down.

Alexis remained at his post because it is still too early to leave and there are still a few swimmers.

In the afternoon, it rained again while Alexis was working.

But he's very professional, so he didn't leave his post despite getting soaked. Well, at least it's not cold today.

Something is going on over there, it looks like there was an accident with a taxi-boat.

Quite a freak accident, I must add. :O 

Meanwhile, at his job, Alexis had to save his own brother's life. Yes, Aidan nearly drowned, and with his clothes on. Denny came running as soon as he knew.

Aidan said there was no need to make a fuss, he just had a bit too much to drink before diving into the sea in search of inspiration for his art. Whatever, he gave them quite a scare!
