Fanon:Matteo Curious

Matteo Curious was the son of Kade Curious and Malta Curious and the younger twin brother of Yah Curious. Remarkable is that while both his parents possess and show different alien genes, Matteo shows none.

Later in life he married Kendal Curious and got a daughter with her named Mara.

Babyhood
Matteo was born human out of a unique full alien marriage between his parents Kade and Malta Curious. This was remarkable as for generations the alien genes were thought to be extremely dominant in Strangetown, turning many human families into extraterrestrial ones. Matteo's twin brother Yah was born with alien skin, but human eyes, much like his father. It was clear from day one that Matteo had very little in common with his parents and brother and as he was born one minute later than Yah, Matteo proved himself the surprise of the century already.

Toddlerhood
Matteo had a hard time recognizing himself in his direct family. He would be happy when aunt Sarah would visit, as it seemed like the two had a lot more in common than he and his family had. As Yah was known to ask for a lot of attention, and often would scream for it until he would get it, it turned Matteo in a more quiet and reserved youngster. Kade often was exhausted after handling Yah, that he proclaimed to have no energy left for little Matteo. Therefor was it Malta who taught Matteo's toddler skills and showed him how to walk, talk and use the potty. He was grateful for his mother, as he was patient with him and allowed him to take his time. Something that his brother Yah didn't always seem to need, as he rushed to the most complicated tasks without any problem. He loved his mother for her patience and grew close to her. Although she often returned his love, it was clear that it took her more effort to do so than with Yah, or that might have been something Matteo imagined every now and then.

Childhood
Growing older, Matteo is excited to go to school and meet some more friends. He is however extremely nervous how well he will do at school, and even more so how much better Yah will be at it. As expected, Yah came home with an A+ report card in no time, while for the longest time Matteo's best grade was a B. He saw how proud his parents were of Yah, and even though his father would never admit it, Matteo knew that Kade was disappointed in him. As with everything else, it took Matteo a while to receive his own all A+ report card, but was extremely proud when it happened. His mother baked him his favorite desert in the form of his favorite animal; a dinosaur, while his father simply patted him on the back and congratulated him. He was approved together with Yah to start studying at the SimCity Academy, and his father admitted that they could have gone a lot earlier if Matteo had gotten better grades sooner. Malta later consoled Matteo and told him that nothing about this is true, and that he did everything perfectly fine in the way he did it. The A+ was just a great extra bonus for the application. Although he didn't make many friends as he had hoped, he grew even closer to his mother.

Teenhood
Moving on to high school, Matteo has learned everything there is to know about the Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus, Stegosaurus, Brontosaurus and many other -auruses. Even though he knows in his heart that he might be getting a little too old for dinosaurs, he can't help but to sneak them in at least one conversation a day. Most girls laugh at him and walk away as Matteo starts yet another fascinating conversation about the origin of these species, but project partner Kendal Lawson seems to be the exception. For the longest time Matteo assumes that she is just enduring him to get a good grade, as he knows she can use it. But he sees a fascinating change in behavior towards the end of the semester, as she seems eager to learn and loves to know about all his strange little facts. Kendal always calls Matteo extremely smart, which he had no one ever tell him ever, as he definitely wasn't the smartest in his family, and the greatest thing of it all was that she really seemed to mean it! Matteo was flustered when one night Kendal leaned to him and gave him his first kiss. He didn't know what to say but quickly realized that silence is not a great response to a girl making a move on you. Kendal walked out and tried to avoid him for the next day. Matteo, realizing he could never bag someone as amazing as Kendal ever again, did the scariest thing he had ever done and walked up to her to ask her out. Something even scarier than that was that Kendal actually said no, but clarified that she would really like to date him, but that it wasn't the right time for them now. Confused what that exactly means, the two remain friends.

Adulthood
As a grand gesture, Matteo's parents move out of the family home, leaving him alone with his brother Yah on 2 Cover Up Road so they can start their own families. Not sure how to feel about being stuck with his estranged brother, but also not wanting to be unthankful towards his mother, Matteo stays but mostly keeps to himself. He is a little surprised when he sees that Yah is dating an older man. Things get even stranger when Matteo hears that Alexander is actually their father's ex-boyfriend and suddenly feels like he might not be the least liked child anymore. When he runs into Kendal in town, he is extremely happy to see her, as he had heard that she had moved away. Luckily for Matteo she was really thrilled to see him as well and tells him that she was hoping the two could give it a shot, if he would still be interested of course. Not being a complete idiot, Matteo agrees and it doesn't take long before Matteo proposes that Kendal should move in with him and his brother. She agrees, but tells him that she would like to take things slow. As Kendal takes a lot if pride in her career, she motivates for Matteo to do the same.

Always wanting to work in education and help Sims that just like him sometimes struggled with learning, he just does that and takes a job in the education career. Kendal and Matteo are doing really well together, and when Kendal starts dropping some subtle hints about marriage, it doesn't take too long for Matteo to pick up on that. In an effort to ease up their relationship for the wedding, Kendal encourages Matteo to invest some time in his brother and develop a relationship with him. She sets up several outings with the whole family, and although things seem to go well for Kendal and Yah, Matteo has a hard time letting the past and the weird relationship between his father Kade, Yah and himself go. Although the gatherings did seem to have helped a little, as their wedding was peaceful and pleasant overall, and no drama was being added to the day. Matteo confides in Kendal that he would much rather try and create his own family with her, instead of patching things up with his old family. This sets them off to try for a baby, but it takes a while.

Kendal, still encouraging Matteo to focus on his career while trying, calls him at work with the great news that they will soon be parents. After a long and hard pregnancy Kendal gives birth to a healthy baby girl they name Mara. As Kendal is a bit of a workaholic, Matteo has to encourage her to take enough time off to heal and bond with their daughter. Matteo loves to watch his beautiful girls and they keep him distracted from his brother and their strange alien pregnancy. As Mara is growing older Matteo is put on potty duty, as Kendal refuses to handle any more poop related business. Even though it isn't the nicest job in the world, he loves it as he gets to hang out with Mara.

As Mara is growing older, she is put in private school just like Matteo and so many ancestors for him were, but he highly encourages her to investigate all sorts of things in life, not just books. He often takes her out to the park where they spend hours looking at birds, squirrels, fish, and other kinds of nature life. He tries to get Kendal on board for another child, but she refuses as she is currently way too high up in her career to take some time off for another child, and he realizes that maybe life will be enough like this. Just him and his two ladies. With Mara getting in her teens he is terrified to find out that she is dating and wants to spend less and less time with her boring old dad. Career wise Matteo is doing amazingly, having climbed up all the way to becoming the minister of education.

Elderhood
When every birthday seems to come faster and faster each year, Matteo decides that work life has been enough for him and retires. Even though he tries to bring it up to Kendal, he knows that she would never do the same. He is happy to see that his daughter is doing so well, and that both his ladies are so excited about the same line of work. Matteo takes advantage of all his free time by revisiting the same parks he used to go with little Mara and rediscover all the animals they found back then.

When Mara announces her engagement to high school sweetheart Amin Couderc, he is intensely happy for her. Obviously it is hard to have to give your daughter to another man, but Amin is nothing less but a perfect candidate. Even though it didn't matter so much to him at first, Matteo is happy to hear that Mara is keeping her last name in order to run and represents Kendal's business as a family business. Matteo is floored when Amin reveals that he will be changing his last name to Curious, and that their Curious line will live on.

As Mara tells Matteo and Kendal that they won't have one but two grandsons, Matteo is in shock and offers any help they need, as he remembers from his parents how tough two babies can be. When little Nolan and Charlie are born, Matteo and Kendal often take them to the park to look at all the creatures, just like with Mara. Although he wishes that he had years and years to come, Matteo realizes that his life won't last forever. Especially after having a bit of a health scare, Matteo takes things a little easier and is therefor a bit less around his daughter and their sons. As Matteo lies on his death bed, Mara comes over with two little toddlers, the spitting image of his beautiful wife Kendal. That night, Matteo passes away in his sleep.
