Don Lotherio/Elder

Just a few days after Donna's high school graduation, Don celebrated a birthday. While Donna's event was a happy one...this one was not something that Don was looking forward to. He had always prided himself on his good looks...his ability to get any woman he wanted. But, once he aged into an elder he wondered if he would still be attractive to the opposite sex...especially to Nina. Donna hugged her half-sister Casey who had stopped by to wish her dad a happy birthday. She still felt close to her dad...and had missed him terribly when Don and Cassandra had divorced and he had moved out of the Goth mansion.
It was easy to tell that Donna and Casey were sisters. They favored...but Casey seemed to favor the Goth family, while Donna very definately favored her father.
"Well, looks like it's time" Don said to Nina, carressing her softly on her cheek. She was still a beautiful woman. Don couldn't help but worry that Nina would no longer find him attractive once the transformation took place. The only thing that comforted him was the fact that Nina would soon follow him into elder-hood.
Reluctantly Don stood and made a wish as his daughter looked on. He couldn't put off the inevitable any longer.
Don transformed into an elder. "Well...might as well make the best of it!" thought Don. And anyway...he still looked pretty good!
At least he thought so...until he looked at Nina. Unfortunately, Nina had been unable to hide her dismay at the change in Don's appearance...and she didn't appear to be pleased about it either! The smile on Don's lips quickly vanished. Putting down his piece of cake, Don walked into the kitchen.

Donna witnessed the entire exchange between Don and Nina. Following Don into the kitchen, Donna attempted to encourage her dad. "Wow...you look so handsome! Good job, dad!" Nina said to Don. Don looked at his daughter and offered a weak smile. He was thankful for the effort Donna made...but he also knew he would never be able to forget the look on Nina's face.

For the first time, the ghost of KayLynn Langerak (mother of Donald Lotherio Langerak Dreamer) made an appearance. Perhaps she was celebrating Don's transformation to elder???
