It's For Science

While out and about town, Holly ran across this beefy and handsome fellow. He was Nancy01905's Brandon Fanatics.



Holly noticed him standing outside Hidden Spring's Natural Sciences Facility, and definitely liked what she saw.



So in true Holly fashion she wasted little time in introducing herself. Turns out Brandon was a photographer, newly arrived in Hidden Springs to take in the incredible sights through a lens.



Holly was rather impressed with this hobby, and told him so. Alluringly, I'm sure.



Brandon didn't seem put off at all.



As evening approached, Holly leaned close and suggested they go inside, where she might give him some . . . private shots. Naughty, Holly. Very naughty. XD



Let's hope nobody walks into the specimen closet unexpectedly . . .



Also Hawthorn happened to show up at the lab rather randomly, and seemed rather excited that his mom was wasting little time in working on sibling #15 . . . And we can also see Maia in the background, working out some kinks. Maybe Brayden's been keeping her up late . . .



Once back at the house Holly got to work upgrading the new washer.



And giving the old family computer some new pizazz.

The secret of the Handiness Skill! Sticking screwdrivers into things! Turning them! And adjusting them!



Meanwhile Ash decided to plop down in the bathroom in his formal-wear to do his homework.



And not long after that his twin decided to join him. Eh, teenagers.



After that Tulip decided to be the first Wood child to actually exercise. And apparently not caring that she soon got a little too ripe. Ash hid out behind the couch to escape the smell--now in his athletic-wear too so as not to feel left out--putting the last finishing touches on his homework.



And finally the three siblings rounded out the evening with some old fashioned bonding in front of the TV. Apparently Ash felt it necessary to change back into his formal-wear for that. And just so her brother didn't feel awkward, Tulip changed into her pajamas. Elm looks a little concerned for his future, I think.
