Scooter 3.10 - Years and Years

[moveobjectsron]

Well, we did it. We're at the end of generation 3. It's been a real run, you guys, thinking about everything Randy and Collin have been through, and the life they built for themselves. Today, we close the book on their act of the Scooter legacy. Okay, here we go!

 

In classic "Ron is a dumbass" fashion, I ONCE AGAIN, once again, forgot to take a picture of Willow at her next birthday. So here is YA Willow and YA Simon, who I just moved in.

Willow: Isn't this great? Being fully grown, being able to buy things for ourselves, being able to go anywhere I want...

Simon: Being forcibly removed from your family home...

Willow: Being forcibly removed from your--wait, what.

Well, now that we're here and Simon has demonstrated his fidelity to my #1 girl, I believe it's time to pop the question.

Willow: Simon Munch. What's say you and I take Windenburg by storm as Mr. and Mrs.?

Simon: Oh...Willow! Yes! Thanks for picking me to be a part of your legacy!!

Guh I'm tearing up. There she goes, my number one. Bye Willow! I hope your subsequent life is as great as I thought you were.

She's so cute. :((((((((( One more for the road.

And, one shot of YA Simon too, for posterity. He's kinda cute ngl.

He actually reminds me a lot of a character from this Turkish show I watched (for some reason...). Anyone ever watch Baba Candır aka What Happens to My Family? He looks like Emrecan goofy ass lmao.

WELL, not to leave one of my kids in the dust, I struck out to pick someone up for Xander too, before he ages up. Literally the first teenager to walk in front of the house.

Xander: Hey! Hey you! I'll be your boyfriend RIGHT here right now.

Random teen: Me? ...You? ...eh, hey, why not.

Turns out this random teen is named Emmitt Kalani. He happens to be the product of a one-night stand between Mitchell Kalani and Liberty Lee. Y'all. I'm gonna go vomit in a garbage bin.

There you go, Xander. Enjoy your fucked up story-progression boyfriend.

I'm just goofing he's actually cute lol.

Randy: Hey, Simon. Can we talk?

Simon: Yes, Mrs. Scooter, what would you like to discuss?

Randy: Oh, Simon, come on now. You and my daughter are engaged! You don't have to be so formal around me.

Simon: Willow told me otherwise. She said you'd turn me into an Oktoberfest pretzel if I said the wrong thing.

Randy: ...nooooooo! Never! ...well, it all depends on what you say.

Another late-night fishing trip for Landon later. He caught a chest!

Landon, unenthused: Another Eyes of Sulani, probably. Yip-peeeeee.

One day, Toro had some news for his best friend.

Landon: ...well, that's no so bad! It's only for what, a month? Two months?

Toro: No, Lando...I'm gonna be gone-gone, like, for good. When I say my parents want to move to Tokyo, I mean for the rest of my life.

Landon: Well, can't you just come back sometimes?

Toro: Sometimes isn't the same as all the time. (sigh) I'm really sad, Lando.

Landon: It...it'll be okay, T-Katz.... We can still...we can still Facetime. Y'know? And every time you visit, it'll be a great big celebration! Y'know! It'll be like you never even left...!

Toro: (sniffing)

Landon: Uh...uh...shit Lando don't cry don't cry...fuck...

Collin, on the computer for FUNSIES? What a concept!

Collin: I haven't browsed the internet for my own personal entertainment in months.

...

Okay never mind I'm done.

Of course, Toro had to see off his best friend before he left.

Landon: You have my number. You have my email. And you have my address. You just have to pay for air shipping whenever it's my birthday. Kay?

Toro: Pfft, same to you, you fucking dork. ...Gonna miss you, Lando.

Landon: ...yeah. I'm gonna miss you too, T-Katz. I love you buddy.

Toro: I...I love you too, man.

Collin: Hey, baby...

Landon: Hey mom.

Collin: ...anything you wanna talk about?

Landon: What's there to talk about? Literally my best friend on Earth is moving to Japan, which is like, really far away. It sucks ass.

Collin: I know, Landon. These things have a huge toll on people. If you ever want to talk about it...we're here.

Landon: (sniff) Th--thanks, mom.

Not supremely long afterwards, it was the twins' birthday! Happy big-boy birthday, Xander and Landon!

Xander: I want a pony!

Landon: And I want you to WAIT YA DAMN TURN, BRO.

I had a feeling Landon was gonna look almost exactly like Collin LOL. From a diverse genetic standpoint, I should've chosen Xander but well, here we are. Don't remember why I gave him the farmhand milkmaid bun look but hey.

I think at this point, Xander aged up with a trait I didn't like. Which one it was, I genuinely can't remember now, but I'm pretty sure that was my reasoning for spare-ing his ass.

A couple of days beforehand, Emmitt had aged up too, so I moved in Xander with him, in his house in Willow Creek. Where Mitchell Kalani and Liberty Lee smashed to conceive him, oh god oh Jesus

They're kinda cute, ngl.

Landon: Mom? Your birthday's coming up too. You haven't completed your career yet!

Randy: Ugh, I know, Landon. But I think if I work SUPER hard and sacrifice literally any sense of being a happy put-together person for one day, I can JUST make it before I get old.

Landon: Fuck. Godspeed, Randy Scooter. You got this.

Turns out Landon's lucky charm was what Randy needed, because she JUST. Just. J U S T made the cusp for promotion that day when she went to work. She's maxed out the Secret Agent career, and thus, completed her life goals!!!

Randy: Now to change into literally anything else.

✔ Complete a career based on skills gained through aspiration

Not that long after, it was time...for my BEST girls last birthday :((((

Randy: Collin, noooo! Our yoooouth!

Collin: It's too late...it's too late....

Ohhhhhhh here they are. My sweet old baby girls :( Silver and still cute as fuck :(

Randy: I don't regret any of it. Do you?

Collin: I don't either...but there's always a part of me that's gonna wonder about the things we couldn't do. The people we couldn't save....

Randy: From that time, right?

Collin: Yeah. From that time. But otherwise, there's no looking back for me. Same for you?

Randy: Same for me.

Oasis Springs, thousands of miles away...

On a day just like any other day, a former resident came home.

???: Mmmm...mm...augh. The sun...

...

The sun?! What the hell?!

Ripp Grunt: Is this...Earth...? Am I actually back home now...?

Ripp: Excuse me!

Lady: Uh...hi? Can I help you?

Ripp: Yeah, can you please tell me what day it is? I don't want to miss the registration date for classes!

Lady: Classes...? What are you talking about?

Ripp: My spring semester! I go to La Fiesta Tech.

Lady: Uhh...I don't know what year you're living in, old guy, but La Fiesta Tech isn't around anymore.

Ripp: What do you mean, 'not around anymore'?

Lady: I mean that they disestablished it like, almost forty years ago. Something about improper radiation containment, or something really bad like that. Students were dying.

Ripp: Forty...years...ago...what the hell...

Lady: Look, can I take you to the police station or something? You are obviously very lost.

Ripp: No! No! I can't go there...!

It took a long few months, but Ripp returned to Strangerville where his family lived...forty years ago. He had no idea how long he had been gone. And for why.

All he knew was whenever he tried thinking about it, he would trigger a headache. So he stopped. And he treated himself to a vacation somewhere nice. Somewhere warm, and tropical, and free of his past life, whatever it was.

Sulani, for example.

Ripp: (sigh)...I could live like this forever. This is nice.

But of course, life just isn't that easy. It always finds a way to come back to you.

Randy: ...No. No way. ...Ripp? Ripp Grunt?!

Ripp: ...I...I know you. I know you.

...

Why do I know you? Who are you?

Randy: Oh my god.
