Part 2

Page 2: Atherton 1.1.1

If his Legacy was to continue, Arthur needed a wife, but who? While he had masterminded the marriages of his older children, Mathias felt a certain reluctance when it came to his son and heir.

If Arthur were truly to carry on the Legacy, shouldn’t he choose his own wife?

Page 3: Atherton 1.1.1

And so Arthur was sent out to the park in search of a likely candidate.

Page 4: Atherton 1.1.1

He looked.

Page 5: Atherton 1.1.1

And looked.

Page 6: Atherton 1.1.1

And looked.

AN: This gem ended up marrying Malcolm Landgraab. Luckily, she aged to elder before either of them could pass along their genes and further pollute the shallow Sunset Valley pool.

Page 7: Atherton 1.1.1

Still looking.

Page 8: Atherton 1.1.1

And– wait a minute. Where’d he go?

Page 9: Atherton 1.1.1

Search made you hungry, huh, Arthur?

Page 10: Atherton 1.1.1

Wait a minute. I know that walk.

…And Lisa Bunch looks way too happy.

Page 11: Atherton 1.1.1

Damn it Arthur!

Page 12: Atherton 1.1.1

Hungry and discouraged, Arthur ended up at the bistro where he was greeted with crepes and a surprising “Woohoo with…” opportunity. After a day of futile searching and a few glasses of bistro nectar, it seemed like a good idea.

Blind though he may be, Arthur is a good boy and popped the all important marriage question to his fling.

Page 13: Atherton 1.1.1

Who turned out to be married. A quick woohoo in the bistro restroom was fine by Lisa, but amorous hugs and this relationship talk was too much for the married woman.

Way to go, programing.

Page 14: Atherton 1.1.1

They parted amicably, indulging in a first, and last, jam session after she shot him down.

Page 15: Atherton 1.1.1

So, how do you feel your boy did last night, Mathias?

That’s quite a scowl.

Page 16: Atherton 1.1.1

Mathias: I’m taking over now.

Good call.

Page 17: Atherton 1.1.1

It didn’t take long for Mathias to make his move. The very next morning…

Arthur: … wtf.

Page 18: Atherton 1.1.1

It was a party. All the eligible young woman in Sunset where invited. Very Cinderella, Mathias.

Except eligibility was determined by the attractiveness of their phonebook headshots. Not marital status.

Classy.

Page 19: Atherton 1.1.1

Still. Some uglies snuck in. The redhead is Ursine spawn. She wasn’t on the guest list.

Page 20: Atherton 1.1.1

Women.

Page 21: Atherton 1.1.1

Everywhere.

Kate was going along with it. She wants grandchildren.

Page 22: Atherton 1.1.1

It was all too much for the new butler.

Page 23: Atherton 1.1.1

His predicament sent one of the candidates into gales of laughter.

Page 24: Atherton 1.1.1

That’s a real keeper there…

Page 25: Atherton 1.1.1

Butler-whats-his-name: I hope you crawl into a hole and die, ma’am.

Page 26: Atherton 1.1.1

Despite Mathias careful planning of the guest list, pickings were still slim.

Too old.

Page 27: Atherton 1.1.1

Too related… Nice face, Diana.

Page 28: Atherton 1.1.1

Hang on, who’s this?!

Page 29: Atherton 1.1.1

Hullo, there blue-eyes. Are you sure you’re old enough for this party?

Marisol: Course I am. It’s just the pigtails that make me look like jailbait.

Page 30: Atherton 1.1.1

Hrm…

Page 31: Atherton 1.1.1

Kate’s been sent to Get to Know this candidate. Her hair is a murkier brown than ideal, but those eyes are something else.

Page 32: Atherton 1.1.1

One of the other guests seemed to notice Kate’s importance in the marriage decision and made a beeline for her as she began to talk to Marisol.

Page 33: Atherton 1.1.1

Meanwhile Arthur did some socializing of his own.

New!Butler didn’t approve. Even though she had her hair down now.

New!Butler: I’m quitting if you marry her, sir.

Page 34: Atherton 1.1.1

Eventually, the three most likely girls were wrangled into the drawing room. (Where Kate draws/paints. Harr).

For the sake of fairness, they were made to have the same hairstyle… which may be why Caroline looks terrified.

Caroline: What have I gotten myself into?!

Page 35: Atherton 1.1.1

Don’t worry Caro, just pose for the camera. She fits the house, don’t you think? Very English horsewoman-y.

Caroline: Neurotic, Schmoozer, Clumsy, Friendly. (Mixologist).

Page 36: Atherton 1.1.1

The butler’s nemesis, Jocelyn. Purple eyes like Kate, and pearls. Good touch, girl. You’ll fit right in.

Jocelyn: Flirty, Hydrophobic, Mean Spirited, Loser. (Pizza delivery girl).

… Charming. (Pity, she’s my favorite gene donor, looks-wise).

Page 37: Atherton 1.1.1

Marisol. Did you have to wear the yellow, cartoon mummy shirt, Marisol?

Marisol: Good, Family Oriented, Neat, Athletic. (Butler).

And now…

Page 38: Atherton 1.1.1

Wtf, EA. Wtf. Is it just me or are they triplets with dye jobs and varying levels of sun exposure?

Page 39: Atherton 1.1.1

Jocelyn thinks she has this, and the house, in the bag. Cozying up to mom, clever woman. If only you were evil instead of mean spirited…

Page 40: Atherton 1.1.1

Arthur seemed to have warmed to the arranged marriage idea, or maybe it’s just his party animal trait showing.

Page 41: Atherton 1.1.1

Arthur: I’ll marry her, and have children, and be able to carry on Father’s legacy…

Mathias got to you good, huh? Hero worship isn’t exactly healthy kid. Well, anyway, which girl’s caught your eye?

Page 42: Atherton 1.1.1

Arthur: Um…

You don’t know?

Arthur: They’re just all so similar, it’s hard to choose.

Maybe the readers can help you there…

Page 43: Atherton 1.1.1

Arthur: Readers? What readers?

Don’t destroy my optimism, Arthur.

Arthur: I’m alone in this decision, I’m doom. Doooomed!

Hello, excitable trait.
