Week 32 - The Little Prince

At the end of the week, Prince Henry III Tapuwhai ages up to toddler - and of course young Henry needs a suit to reflect his status as the heir to the throne:

Sima's sister Lu and her boyfriend Lee have come over for the party. It would seem Lu took Lee along on purpose - to rub her sister's nose into the fact that *she* is now dating the man Sima couldnt hold on to.
Lu's plan backfires, however. Now that she sees him again and watches him around the ladies of Niua Simoa, Sima realises that Lee is just as much of a flirt as Henry.
In fact, he hasn't been in town for more than two days before he's already known as the new Cassanova!

Lu is not amused when she sees the palace renovations. She'd hoped to make Sima jealous with her new dashing lover, but instead, she's the one who turns green with envy when she sees how Sima lives.
Especially since she can't forget that she was actually Henry's first choice but was stupid enough to turn him down!

Her only consolation is that Lee Yao is handsomer than Henry II, but that doesn't help much when he's just as flirty and poor as a church mouse...

Henry pays more attention to Sima than he usually does. Probably just to annoy Lu - it still stings that she turned him down.

Desiree Velasquez grew up and is now a young adult. For the time being, she'll be in charge of the food register at the new 'local watering hole' in town: Fetina's Bar & Grill. Her parents invested most of their savings into the venue, so she's determined to make it work. Desiree went to Egypt to arrange the final financial details with her parents:

The Stevenson twins age up as well. And Elesabeti seems to be determined to be "Mrs Stevenson". She's probably overdoing it a bit, even.

Really, there should be a middle road between "loud and obnoxious" and "middle-aged at 30".

The island's other little prince - Prince Filepi's son Jarrett - has a new nursery.
