Conrad was doing so much better since his last treatment. So was Bambi. They were both in high school now and spent even more time together. A couple of brainiac kids always had their heads together over some calculus or physics stuff.

Or at least that’s what they wanted us to think. They thought they were being sneaky but everyone knew what was really going on.

Secretly holding hands on the bus. Jeez was I that obvious as a teenager?

Are you alright Bambi? Cuz it looks like my brother is “leaning”.

Aww young love is so sweet. Especially after all the stress and worry we all went through when Conrad was little. It was so special to see him able to be a normal teenager.

Conrad did have a few interests other than Bambi. He and dad were very close and had wicked chess matches a few times a week.

Con also took an interest in gardening. Mom was an excellent cook and Con loved to hunt down the perfect ingredients for her famous recipes.

Conrad was fascinated with space. From the time he was litle, he dreamed of becoming an astonaut, the first Sim to land on Mars. But his body was too weak from years of illness to handle the vigorous physical training required.

He got an opportunity to make a little money tracking a new satellite that had entered our system and began doing more odd jobs for the science center, bringing them specimens of fish and rocks. So Con decided to focus his intellect on breeding the perfect bio-mechanical organism that would not be limited by human frailties and could explore the furthest reaches of the galaxy. It sounded like some mad scientist junk to me but he was totally into it. And it would give us a chance to get in with the Alto cell in the science center and hopefully force them out.

Ahhh yes …spending the teen years looking through the telescope and doing math problems instead of playing football or working on cars
…yep, I can totally relate.
