Mid-terms were aced and the second week flew by just as quickly. Haruo spent a lot of time at the Stadium honing up his athletics by playing sports during the time that they were there and when he had free time when he wasn't studying.
The Watcher thinks that there may have been some who were still shell-shocked from the mid-terms who didn't do as well as they'd expected. "Wha-at the heck happened to my GPA?"
The week went by in a blur and everyone was into Final exams...
For Haruo, there was always time for practicing the school cheer!
"GOOOO SHERBITS!!!" - must be the Simlish name for Thunderbirds...(and Llamas).
When they got their grades for Finals it was certainly quite the revelation that all three: Haruo, River and Masatoshi ended up on the Dean's List having aced their finals and graduated with an "A" average. When they got their notice for convocation (fancy term for graduation) ceremonies they arrived at the stadium doors. Well...it was a log-jam. (Finally the Watcher used MC Debug Enabler and gave Haruo, River and Masatoshi their diplomas to make sure that they got their graduation and their extra trait, yay!
Some of the university graduates waited so long to get into the stadium
that they peed themselves...what fun. The Watcher got a Fiendishly Delighted moodlet from watching those little stinky puddles appear. Then it was back home to Riverview as celebrated University graduates armed with a degree. That and a buck will get you a small premium roast coffee at McDonald's (in Canada).
When River got up the next morning she ran into Masatoshi and Caitlin making eyes at each other.
River knew that Masatoshi was a shy, retiring fellow after hanging out with her husband's cousin and realized that if he was too shy that Caitlin wouldn't respond, but he seemed to be more sure of himself, now that he had his degree, that he was confident enough that his opinions at work would be held in higher regard and that translated to his home-life as well. He seemed to have his courting of Caitlin well in hand as he offered Caitlin a bouquet of red roses.
...which she happily accepted and that was punctuated by a shy kiss, which it seemed, Caitlin greatly appreciated.
Of course a lot of lip-locking ensued between Caitlin and Masatoshi and River decided to sneak back up-stairs to give the love-birds a bit of privacy, all the while chuckling to herself. The whole McIrish clan had snared themselves a Chikamori.
Molly decided that now would be a great time to rant about taxes in the living room.
And Fiona was listening to Yasunobu play the concert grand piano. Like his son, he loved Bach's Prelude in E major BWV 854 from the Well-Tempered Clavier. And when he wasn't breaking space-rocks, he was playing the piano. Still don't know how his fingers weren't all wrecked to heck from pummelling super-hard rocks then still having the flexibility to play piano. Must be the dichotomy of strength versus softness. Or something like that.
Meanwhile...poor Sandi got in deep doo-doo from Haruo for the pee-poor grades that she was getting. That didn't really do too well for her. Haruo expected better from his step-cousin. Poor Sandi.
Well, she was going to learn one way or another that school work was important and that she'd have to get her grades up if she wasn't going to fail miserably.
