First Date for Amelia

 Carly, Day 269, September 26, 2026

So the day after Winterfest was Career Day. Since Watcher is still pretending that Austin might complete a teen aspiration, we followed him to school on Thursday. He started off the day doing some football practice with Noah.

Then it was Career Day in the afternoon. This is his whole class in this picture.

Elsa Bjergsen is in the pink jacket.

And then he decided to check out the Thriftea before going home.

A little disappointed there were not any super crazy outfits. He ended up running into Mindy.

The next day was Friday and Amelia refreshed her Cupid's Corner and found one decent match, good qualities and kind of cute. His name is Marcus. She decided to plan a get to know you date at the beach. Apparently, Mom called Twila and told her to keep an eye on them.

But Twila and Jace soon just became focused on each other.

Amelia spent a lot of time talking with Marcus and found out a lot about him.

They went swimming for a bit and later did some cloud gazing.

They ended up with silver on the date, and a tiny pink bar, but sparks were not flying, although he was a nice guy. 

These are just some of the other beach goers. I actually for a second thought the guy in the hat was Rowan because Honey was talking to him.

And King Alej was getting some sun.

And this little guy found his way to the beach.

So how did he get there? Well, earlier in the day, Carly took Stanley for a walk and when she got back wanted to take Casey, but when I clicked on him, I thought Mortimer was stealing him!

Well, Casey ended up pretty far from home after jogging with Mortimer. but it wasn't far from the beach, so when Amelia went there, Casey did too.
