Lola and Gavin Newson had received an addition to their household with little Irina in the meantime. She looked just like her father at first, to P.T.’s secret disappointment who wished for green grandchildren.



It became pretty obvious soon though that Irina had inherited her mother’s facial features at least. The giant eyes were a dead giveaway.



Originally, Lola and Gavin had only planned for two children, but the arrival of the twins Klaus (green) and Angelika (not green) threw those calculations off.



They all had to move a bit closer to make room for the surprise twins, but they were all very happy together.



That is, until Irina met Tank Grunt.

“Your eyes look WEIRD!”

“No, they don’t!”

“Sure do! You look like a bug! BUG-EYE!”



Irina blew herself up to full size and yelled with all the force a big sister could muster. “Stop calling me bug-eye! You’re mean and your dad wears stupid paint in his face and I hate you!”

At around this point in the discussion, Lyla came over to pick up her son and the fight was postponed. But Tank kept making weird faces at Irina in school and calling her bug-eye whenever he saw her.

Irina knew she had to get advice from the wisest person she knew.



“Well, that wasn’t very nice of Tank Grunt to call you that.” P.T. said when his oldest granddaughter charged through his front door at 6 AM on a Sunday. “And he’s wrong, too, you know? Those are not bug eyes, those are alien eyes, like mine and Jonny’s.”

“But yours are black and your skin is green. People know you’re an alien. And I don’t look like an alien, because my skin is pink, so they think I’m a bug.”

“Then you just need to explain it to them. Tell them that your eyes look like your mommy’s eyes. You wouldn’t mind if they called you ‘mommy eye’, would you?”

Irina decided that she wouldn’t.



Seeing as Irina was already here, P.T. thought he might as well put her to work helping Jenny with the preparations for the biggest party the Smith house had seen yet. All the Curiouses and honorary Curiouses were invited to little Jonny’s and old P.T.’s double birthday party.

The thought of eating tons of cake and gaining a playfellow with huge eyes cheered Irina up considerably and she worked hard setting the tables.



Little Jonny proved himself to be a much better dancer than his father was as he bobbed his head to the music. Auntie Chloe taught him to wave his arms as well.



Since the weather was warm, the main attraction was of course the pool.



As the sun set, the guests returned home and Jenny started to clean up. Jonny helped by finishing off the cake.



P.T. looked back on his birthday party and smiled. He’d had a wonderful adulthood.



And his pollination project went rather well.



Starting Generation 3 with a look at P.T.'s extended family. P.T. and Jonny had a double-birthday, so the whole clan was summoned.

P.T. ended up with a bigger nose and pointy ears, and of course his hair color is off, but he's a pretty good fit.

Speaking of comparisons, Lola and Chloe look a lot more alien than their originals. Irina is the only one on her family to keep this up though, Angelika looks completely human and Klaus has human features and green skin.

Jenny's skin is darker than the original Jenny's and she ended up looking a lot like Kitty.
