1. UNEXPECTED PLOT TWIST

For Filip, it's the last day of high school, and he's aced all his classes. At the end of the day, he's supposed to meet with the principal to discuss the graduation ceremony. Piotr is also doing well, having improved most of his grades and feeling proud of himself. Even his fear of homework has vanished.

Principal: Mr. Drozd, my congratulations! We've never had such an outstanding student here before. You graduated with honors and will be delivering the speech at the graduation ceremony.

Piotr: Let's get ready, he'll be here soon. The principal couldn't have kept him that long.

Everyone: Happy Birthday!

Filip: OMW! What an awesome surprise! Thank you all!

Akito: Make a wish.

Klara: Your dad and I got you the best camera on the market.

Kazik: (Wait, we were supposed to bring gifts?!)

Piotr: I got you an Energizer book; hope you like it!

After the birthday celebration at home, the teens headed to a party at the Narwhal Arms.

Filip: Bro, just don't drink any juice with a kick, or mom will kill me.

A few hours later...

Filip: Has anyone seen Piotr?

Janek: He's making out with some blue-haired DJ.

The next day, Filip finally has to talk about his future plans.

Filip: So, I graduated with honors...

Klara: Principal Prescott personally congratulated us.

Akito: So, which university did you apply to?

Filip: Well... none.

Klara and Akito: WHAT??

Filip: I don't know what I want to do in life. I got a job as a Diver in Sulani, and I thought it would be a good experience to find myself.

Klara: A DIVER??? WHY NOT JUST GO FISHING RIGHT AWAY???

Filip: LAMAZING! Can't you understand me?!

Klara: Understand? You want to waste your life, and we should understand?!

Akito: College is very important, my son!

Filip: I'm an adult now and I know what I'm doing!

Akito: You just said you didn't know!

Filip: You don't listen to me at all. I'm leaving; this makes no sense!

Klara: Where did we go wrong... Best grades, graduating with honors, WHAT HAPPENED??

Akito: Maybe we were too hard on him. He's right; he's an adult and can make his own decisions. Wrong ones, but his own.

Klara: I guess you're right. I'll talk to him when he gets back...

Klara: Got a moment? We talked with Dad, and you're right; you need to find your own path. We just worry about you and love you.

Filip: Thanks, Mom. And you know, it doesn't mean I'll never go to college. I just don't know which one yet.

Klara: Alright. So when do you start this job?

Filip: After the graduation ceremony.

Akito: Maybe someone could help me out here?

Piotr: Hmm... where did I put those special lights?

Klara: All done!

Piotr: That was a good idea with those special lights.

Filip: Ahem... those special lights kinda caught fire...

Klara: We need to put that out.

Akito: It's getting worse.

Klara: Someone needs to go buy a new Winterfest tree now.

Klara: And Piotr had to buy a new tree because the other one turned to ashes.

Zoe: You guys always have some kind of adventure.

Klara: And what's up with you? I heard Antos has a sibling now?

Zoe: Yes, we adopted a little boy. Antos has a brother, Frank.

Filip: Anna and I will come back in a moment.

Filip: Good thing we managed to sneak away for a while.

Anna: So, are you leaving for long?

Filip: I don't know yet, but don't worry, we'll visit each other.

Akito: Where are the kids? We're about to sing carols. Piotr, go call them.

Filip: Hmm... what could this be... Poop?! Piotr! This isn't funny!

Piotr: Haha, it actuall is quite funny! You should've seen your face.

Filip: So, who are you spending New Year's with? Yuki or Yumi? You know you have to choose one, right?

Piotr: Very funny. With Yumi. Yuki was... an accident.

Filip: And does she know that?

Piotr: You know what, go eat some snow...

The crew met in the Spice District to celebrate New Year's Eve. Without Zoe, who had to stay with the kids.

Klara: A toast to another successful sim year!

Nicolas: And what did you do with the kids?

Klara: It's easier with teens. One's at a party, the other celebrating with his girlfriend at home.

Nicolas: Oh, so that's what it's called now, haha.

Meanwhile, Piotr was at an awesome party with Yumi. Filip and Anna waited until midnight and... wished each other a Happy New Year ;)

Klara and Akito also set off fireworks ;)

The day of the graduation ceremony arrived! Filip is polishing his speech.

Klara: Oh son, I'm so proud of you.

Principal: You have very exceptional sons.

Akito: We know, both are talented. We're very happy parents.

Principal: And now, your classmate Filip Drozd will deliver the farewell speech!

Filip: ...That's why you shouldn't be afraid to change your life aspirations and traits. Stay open to new challenges and go with the flow of opportunities a new expansion offers. Even the Watcher doesn't have the exclusive right to tell you who you are, so go out into the world, explore new game features, and find your true selves!

Principal: Thank you for that inspiring speech. Now, let's proceed to handing out diplomas.

Principal: Filip Drozd, congratulations on graduating with honors. I wish you success.

...Kazimierz Winters, congratulations on graduating. Best of luck.

Kazik: So this is really the end of school?

Filip: Woohoo! We did it!
