We're back in Sunset Valley to be able to link to the stories we left pending. We'll start with one of the most important families in the city, the Landgraabs/Langeraks. Yes, two famous families which ended up united thanks to Clifford Landgraab and a Megan Langerak, whose story we can review in the Landgraab tag.
Although Megan and Clifford are elders now, they're still as in love as the first day they met.
Even at their age they still have fun together and they're still supporting their children, since none of the two has stopped working. Clifford in on the Game Developer career, as a Games Studio Director; and Megan is in the Alchemist career as a Senior Alchemist.
Their son Eric is already an adult, their daughter Sugar and Leah, young adults. Sugar has just enrolled in the University, in the Fine Arts career. Her sister will enroll soon too.
Fortunately for them, there's a local University in Sunset Valley, it's the Community College which opened recently, giving the young locals the oportuniy to study a university career without having to leave their city. This will allow the Landgraab youngsters to continue living with their parents while they prepare for the future. How convenient. :)
He's Sugar, on her way to her first day of school at the Sunset Valley Community College.
The first person he ran into upon arrival was her cousin Paul Bachelor, to whom she's related on the Langerak's side. Long story.
That same day she met as well the guy who is her boyfriend now: Jon Lothario, son of Don Lothario and Cassandra Goth.
Sugar and Jon fell in love at the moment they saw each other.
And their romance continues to this date, although they aren't a steady couple yet.
Like I said before, Eric is an adult already, but he haven't been able to find a job. He didn't graduate from the University either, he left halfway through his Physical Education career cause he isn't sure of what he really wants to do. He had a hard time finding a girlfriend too.
But not long ago, during the Fall Festival, he met Stacey Keaton, the daughter of Ari Keaton and Cristina Bunch, or rather Christina Langerak, which means Eric and Stacey are relatives. Distant, that is. But Sunset Valley is such a small town, and there are such a few families, that it is hard not to end up in the same family tree, although not directly related.
Of course, the family doesn't approve of Eric dating a relative, even if it's a distant one.
But Eric plans to go ahead, I mean, why not? Both he and Stacey are the fourth generation of Langeraks, that makes them third cousins, or fourth? No idea. The thing is, they're not close relatives. Period.
Plus, Eric had such a hard time finding love that he's not willing to let it go. Neither he, nor Stacey are teenagers anymore, they better hurry if they want to start a family.
They say there will be a wedding soon... we'll see about that.
Jon and Sugar. They do not have any concerns. They live their romance to the fullest without thinking about things like marraige and family. All in due time, but... Here is a 'but' too: Sugar's family is concerned that Jon is a Lothario. With the his father Don's reputation, you know...
But Sugar doesn't have absolutely no issues with that.
Just in case, Clifford prefers to be near when Jon visits Sugar at home. Better safe than sorry.
As for Leah, there isn't much to tell, she hasn't enrolled in the University yet, nor has she found a partner. It's very likely that she will follow the Fine Arts career like her sister, cause her lifetime wish is to be a Master of the Arts. And she will probably find a boyfriend soon, since she's very sociable and have lots of friends.
Here we see Leah at the Fall Festival, about to start the fun with other members of her family. Her mother Megan; her brother Erick, and her uncle Robert, who recently moved from Island Paradise with his wife Camille, to be near his youngest son, Antoine Langerak.
Just like Clifford, Megan is worried about the future of her children, but she tries not to interfere too much with their lives.
She seeks to concentrate in her own business, like Alchemy and her passion for horse riding.
She still keeps her old steed, Baron, who no longer run in races, but he was a champion in his time and will always be.
Now the family is training another future champion, her new horse King. And in passing, Eric tries to learn to ride. Since he didn't do very well at the University, Megan thought maybe he would like to become a jockey.
But riding isn't really Eric's calling and that was demonstrated from his first lessons. Perhaps Leah want to give it a try later.
And that's what we know about the Landgraabs so far. They're not rich, they're not poor, they're just happy. Who knows, maybe some day the kids will inherit their grandfather Malcom's fortune.
But Clifford prefers not to count on that. He never needed his father and grandfather's money; his children probably won't need it either... Or so he hopes.
