After a dip in the pool, Sky has a piece of her birthday cake. 

Here's a side shot of Sky in her new clothes. (I have no idea why these pictures always happen in the bathroom!) 

Sky is MUCH happier after a change of clothes. She is a very pretty alien teen, and is looking forward to Neville Subject's birthday to happen, so she can go for that first kiss! 

She feels like she looks pretty hot, too! There's her happy father behind the cake. I think he must have picked out her birthday outfit. Grey IS pretty clueless about such things. 

Sky, despite her hideously unmatching clothes, feels pretty good about her decision to follow in the family's footsteps and go after Knowledge in her life! (I rolled ANOTHER natural two!) 

We'll find out soon! 

Here she wonders what her aspiration will be. Will she follow the route her dad, uncle, and cousins took and become a Knowledge Sim, or aspire for something completely different? 

But we've gotten a little ahead of ourselves! Here is Sky at her party before blowing out the candles. 

Or when he started talking to a volleyball with a face painted on it during Sky's birthday party. The family thinks they'll wait until Cyan starts feeling a little better before having parties again. 

However, his family worries about him a little when he "fixes" an invisible piano. 

For whatever reason, this treatment worked and Cyan was able to go about his normal life again. 

. . . and made him cluck like a chicken. 

He helped Cyan out of his catatonic state . . .  

Luckily, a therapist dropped by, seemingly out of nowhere. 

He made a horrible decision at work and now everyone in the community hates him, costing Cyan TWO charisma points! Losing his hard earned skills was just too much for the fragile Cyan, especially with Ice now not only having been given an alien baby before him, but now being more perfectly skilled than him! 

While his nephew is happily gaining skills and his niece is playing with Neville, Cyan is quietly having a nervous breakdown on the side of the house. 

"Yeah!" Sky giggles, before she and Neville engross themselves in a game of "Mary Mack." 

"Well," Neville says nervously (ha), "If you're an alien, can I be your spaceman?" 

"So, that makes me half alien!" 

"And then when my daddy came back on the ship, he had ME in his tummy!" 

"Yeah, and she was an ALIEN!" 

"So, when your daddy went off in the ship, that's where he met your mommy?" 

Sky explains to Neville Subject why she's "different" looking. "Well, my 'mommy' is from another planet!" 

And here, he masters ALL of the skills, making him very happy. 

While his uncles are off at work and the kids are all at school, Ice workes on mastering his skills. Here, he masters cooking, despite almost never doing any actual cooking himself.
