Summary About the Luck Twins in Uni

We have reached the end of the 2013 Memories, which I conclude with a brief summary about the Luck twins and their cousins Antoine, Billy and Josie at Uni.

Winston and Tristan started their first trimester at the University with great enthusiasm, Winston chose the Fine Arts career and Tristan, Technology.

Like I said before, Antoine, Josie and Billy kept them company that trimester, although shortly after they realized that none of the three was intereste in getting a degree. Antoine already had a job as a cop in Hidden Springs, and aspired to be a Secret Agent.

. Josie wanted to write music, she had in the Fine Arts career, but she he liked playing the guitar more than studying

 

And Billy was just there to fulfill his parents dream, but his dream was to go to Starlight Shores to become a Magician.

For Josie, the University in general, was some kind of torture.

So many hours of studies and boring classes, while she could be at home, in Sunset Valley, relaxing in the pool, near her parents, with her little sister Katya and her dog Merlin, playing guitar and writing songs!

She wished she was as smart as Winston and his twin brother Tristan. They were good students indeed. Anyway, she'd try to finish this trimester, she had promised to her mother, but it wasn't going to be easy.

For Antoine it was difficult too, especially when it came to make friends, or worse, to go out on dates, since he wasn't very sociable to start with.

 Just thinking about a date made him nervous. True, the Langeraks were known for their success with girls, for marrying young and have huge families. Perhaps he was the exception? Would he find his match one day? Only time will tell.

 

Winston wasn't very sociable either, or at least he wasn't as sociable as his brother Tristan. Most his time he spent it at home, painting or reading. In the evenings he would just go out if he needed to go to the hospital to get shots for his allergies.

The closes to a date he had was a brief encounter with a beautiful girl named Olga Baker, whom he didn't know if he'd ever see again.

After Tristan, the most sociable in the group was Billy.

He went out almost every night, that's how he met Tiffany Angles. He had a couple of dates with her, his cousins though they would end up in a romantic relationship, but that never happened.

 However, Tiffany and Billy continued to go out together as good friends for the rest of the trimester. 

They looked so good together, why didn't their relationship prosper? Well, Billy know that, somehow, after the final exams, he wouldn't return to the University. Plus, rumor had it he was secretly in love with his cousin Josie.

At the end of the trimester, as it was to be expected, the five cousins left the Uni to never return. Apparently, studying wasn't their thing and the weather didn't help either.

 

It rained all the time, the wind filled the garden with dead leaves that they had to rake; and winter, much colder than it was in Hidden Springs; and the winter, much colder than Hidden Springs, made Winston's allergies worse. So, although their stay at St. John's hadn't been unpleasant, after the exams the five of them decided to return home for good.

 

Would they continue their University studies someday? Billy, Josie and Antoine clearly wouldn't. But the twins were considering the idea of a return to Uni someday, not so far away, if something else didn't get in the way.

End of the 2013 Memorias.

Goodbye, Dragon Valley. Hello University Life

After years of struggling with mood swings as adolescents, it was a relief for the Luck brothers to have reached the young adult age. 

And not just that, but they would at last say goodbye to the turbulent Dragon Valley, to build their brilliabnt future at the St. John University, near Hidden Springs.

Winston and Tristan said goodbye to the few friends they had made at the valley, like Corren Dwyer, Winston's best friend, whom he probably was going to miss, but whom he hoped as well to see again someday. The future was uncertain for now.

But their last night in Dragon Valley was far for being calm, cause, even when the twins were in holly peace, Sabrina and Wylie were still angry at each other due to the Siobahn Murphy affair. In fact, Sabrina had issued an ultimatum to Wylie: either he forgot about Siobahn forever, or he better wouldn't return to Hidden Springs with her.

Wylie tried to calm Sabrina's anger with a kiss. Big mistake!

Sabrina got even more angry and the argument ended in a fist fight. Winston ran upstairs to stop the 

brawl.

"Mom, Dad! What wrong with you? Mom, are you okay?"

"I'm perfectly fine, can't say the same about your Dad", Sabrina answered.

  "All the Goths are demented", Wylie could hardly mumble.

"Oh, yeah? Pues nunca te metas con una Goth - contestó muy oronda Sabrina y se retiró a su recámara. Se sentía mucho mejor después de haberse desahogado.

Wylie, more wounded in his pride than anything else, stayed in the kitchen washin the dishes and thinking about Sabrina's ultimatum. Maybe he should listen to her and forgete about Siobahn? Anyway, once in Hidden Springs, it would be difficult to see her again. 

"Well, goodbye Dragon Valley and goodbye Siobahn."

Twelve hours later,  Winston and Tristan Luck arrived in Hidden Springs to prepare their departure for the University.

"Do you think I can take Scarlet with me to Uni, Wins?"

"Don't even think about. Dragons don't go to Uni, Trist. Plus, I don't think Dad wants to separate from him.

 

A few days later, Winston and Tristan arrived to the Universidad, but they won't be alone, with them were their cousins Antoine Langerak, Josie Langerak, and Billy Goth. They all knew each other since childhood and now they would share an apartment that they would pay for between the five of them.. Thus, under the rain and without the slightest idea how they would organize themsleves, Winston and Tristan, and their cousins started their University Life.

A Strange Birthday

The long awaited twins birthday finally arrived. Sabrina, however, couldn't completely enjoy it.

 

  To begin with, that same day she discovered that Wylie was still seeing Siobahn. Even worse: he had invited to the boys' party. She, of course, didn't remain silent and, not caring that some guests had already arrived, she complained aloud to Wylie, and she even slapped him in front of everyone!

When the moment came to blow out the candles on his cake,  Winston didn't make a wish but three of them. The first one, that his parents would stop fighting and make up, the sooner the better. The second one: return to Hidden Springs, if possible, by tomorrow.

And the third wish, a total secret, was that something extraordinary would occurr that would prevent his father from seeing that Siobahn woman again.

 He still didn't understand how Wylie had dared to invite her to the party. If only there was a way to make her disappear...

Anyway, Winston blew out the candles, hoping to see his wishes fullfilled soon and... poof! He was a young adult now.

Sabrina celebrated cheerfully, while Wylie seemed a bit anxious, perhaps he knew that after the twins' birthday, he would have to return to Hidden Springs and wouldn't see the infamous Siobahn again.

 

By the way, she looked kind of worried too, which made Winston extremely happy.

"Sorry, Miss Murphy, but you'll have to find yourself another boyfriend".

Now it was Tristan's turn to blow out the candles on his own cake. The wishes he made weren't different from Winston's. 

 

 "Let's see... I want to go back to Hidden Spring by tomorrow and... that Siobahn vanishes!"

Sure enough he didn't say this aloud, cause the female alluded to was right behind him. He wished this wouldn't bring him bad luck.

 

Once his wishes were made, he blew with all his strenght, but the candles didn't go out. 

Then, something unexpected happened...

The cake caught fire, burst into flames until and burned to the ground! Had Siobahn done some kind of trick? It was difficult to know, it could've been just an accident. The worst was that not only did the cake burnt,the fire spread across the table, burning Winston's cake too, and then engulfed the dining room.

 Some of the guests were terrified and started to scream: "Fire, fire!"  Others prefer to leave the party. In the beginning, nobody knew what to do, until finally, Wylie grabbed the extinguisher and bravely tried to put out the flames, while Sabrina called the firefighters from outside the house.

FFew things are scarier than a fire, and boy was this a scare for the Lucks and their guests. The one who had the worst time was poor John Burb, whose clothes were completely scorched. Luckily he survived, 

Still, what had just happened mortified Sabrina. Why had this happened to her best friend? And during her sons' birthday party! Did the hideous Siobahn have something to do with this? She better not!

But the party should continue so for the modest sum of 30 simoleons, they replaced the burnt cake with a new shiny one. Albeit with some hesitation, Tristan decided to blow out the candles again. 

"Now I understand why it is called Inferno Cake, I hope it doesn't catch fire again".

 

Right at that time the firefighters arrived to the Lucks' house, a bit late by the way. Had it not been for Wylie's quick intervention...

Thing is, Tristan was already a young adult, just like his brother Winston and both were happy about it.

But they couldn't deny it had been a rather strange birthday. Fortunately, this was their last night in Dragon Valley.
