LEPacy challenge: Mandy ages to child; Bobo becomes real; awkward date.

 Mandy had her birthday.

As expected, her imaginary friend, Bobo aged up and became active.

Mandy talked about her imaginary friend to her mother, who gave her a rainbow gem after Mandy got the opportunity to get the potion to make him real. It's ironic that adopting Mandy cost nothing, but getting Bobo to become real cost a gem worth over 6000 simoleons and a fee of 4500 simoleons to make happen. I am focused on the Generations pack at the moment, so that justifies the cost.

Another Generations thing is slumber parties, so Mandy threw one of those.  Her friends came over, had pizza, played with her toys, and slept in sleeping bags.

It was a "girls only" party, I guess, because poor Bobo wasn't included.

The girls slept in sleeping bags in the living room while Bobo slept in his bed. Maybe that was Bobo's preference as he was thrilled to have a bed the night before.

The sleeping bags were put in Mandy's and Bobo's inventories, and while I wasn't looking, they had an autonomous "campout" in the park across the street. 

They were playing over there when I left them to follow Ming for awhile, but I thought they would go home when they got tired.

Ming has continued to build her relationship with DeAndre Wolf. 

DeAndre had a girlfriend when Ming asked if he was single after they first met, but it appears that they must have broken up as he was listed as having none afterwards.  When Ming started moving their relationship to the next level, however, she got the "cheater" reputation even though I started a new game and all links to her former boyfriends were severed. 

Ming and DeAndre started dating. . .

Which led to him going home with her.

They make such a cute couple. Mandy was asleep in her bed and Bobo was finishing up his homework in the living room. Ming and DeAndre decided to adjourn to the bedroom for some woohoo. However, imaginary friends in any form seem to lack a sense of boundaries. As Ming and DeAndre were just getting comfortable, Bobo trots into the bedroom to ask DeAndre to read him a bedtime story.  (I guess he's really wanting a father figure.)

 I thought for sure this would have cancelled the woohoo interaction, but apparently not.

Awkward! Afterward, I think Bobo asked DeAndre if that meant he was going to be his daddy now.

I think DeAndre and Ming will remain "friends with benefits" for now, as she's supposed to raise her kids on her own.  

Mandy has mastered the bake oven and has a level two inventing skill now.  I need to get her to master the block table, however, even though that seems to be going backwards in accumulating handiness skills. She also has been taking ballet.

Ming has been busking regularly, and seems to be averaging about 500 simoleons per day. Not bad!
