Good News...Bad News...More Good News!

Hello friends
Ok, so the good news will be first: Ruby and Atlas got married! They had 2 baby girls. Atlas was 8 years old and Ruby was 6. Something kind of interesting is that the friendship level on both of them was "best friend," two hearts and two faces. I guess they were in a hurry to get married!

But later on today, I noticed that Atlas's hunger and happiness hearts were emptying really quickly and he kept getting sick. I thought it was just because I wasn't taking good care of him.
But I went for a walk and when I got back he was dead. I couldn't revive him. I tried pressing the reset button then selecting download and everything, to no avail. :(

Death screen, NOOOOOO!

I think this is because he was pretty old. At that age, Tamas get pretty frail. But still it was so unexpected! Lesson learned: if you have an older adult, keep it asleep so it doesn't die.
Atlas was a 6th generation, I've had his family line for a long time, so his loss is a bit hard. But at least my v4 didn't die!

There's an egg on the screen now...
It hatched! It's a girl!! I'll name her Viva!

Viva

Yes, it kept my entire friends list and started me off with 30000 Gotchi Points! It deleted my items though.

An hour later, Viva evolved into a little Hitodetchi (you know, that adorable starfish character)!

Viva as Hitodetchi

I'm actually very excited to have my new character Viva. Considering that my Tamagotchi died, the outcome was pretty good: I get to keep all my friends and parents on my list, I started out with a fair amount of money, and I'm very glad that I hatched a girl this time.

Ruby's gift from Atlas  :3

Viva will grow up like the sister of Ruby's daughter, and Atlas remains a memory in the history booklet of my v4.5. And Ruby still has the ring he gave her.
Thanks for reading; mata atode!
