York Household: Chapter 9, Part 10

In this part Kelly may be stood down from school for the day but that doesn't mean Aaron won't find them something to do.

CW: Mentions of body dysmorphic disorder and dysphoria

The Yorks are Italian so if you see them using words that don't look like English it's Italian, or what google assures me is Italian. Caro/Cara: Dear Buongiorno: Good morning Piccolo: Little one Tesoro: Treasure Nonno: Grandfather Nonna: Grandmother Si: Yes Grazie: Thank you Per Favore: Please Buon Compleanno: Happy Birthday

Kelly had asked Joey to speak to their family about her identity and, once Joey assured her it was fine, she joined the family for dinner.

Calista: Cara, I heard you got in a few fights today

Kelly was so used to being called caro, while cara was used for her sisters, that it took her a moment to realise her ma was addressing her.

Kelly: Si ma

Calista: Can we say the second fight may have had something to do with you being a girl?

Kelly: *sighs* Si ma. The dung brain said only girls needed to know about periods and stuff so I got mad and stomped on her foot

Deanna: I think that’s a sensible response even if you were a boy

Aaron: Deanna! Violence is never the answer

Joey: You say that like you don’t want us to get arrested

Aaron gave Joey a look that could melt steel.

Joey: Sorry pa, bad joke

Calista: I'll call your school and talk to them about separating kids by gender, in this day and age it's stupid. How about the first fight cara

Kelly: What do you mean

Calista: You were having trouble in English. Do you want us to get some help

Kelly: *sighs* That jerk was saying I had dyslexia but he doesn’t know what goes on in my head

Aaron: Still, it’s better to look into help now so you won’t be hindered at university

Deanna: Pa, she’s only just started high school

Aaron: Never too early to start thinking of the future

Aaron: But if you don’t want to talk about it tonight we can fit it in tomorrow

Kelly: What do you mean fit it in

Aaron: You don’t think I’m going to waste a day you’re not in school do you?

Kelly: I was kind of hoping to crash on the couch and play some games

Aaron steps up and pulls Kelly into a hug despite her protests.

Aaron: Cara, your ma and I love you. Very much. But a shift like the one you’ve started won’t be a simple one. We want you to get all the help available. I'm taking a vacation day and first stop tomorrow is a doctor who specialises in adolescents

Kelly smiles and tries her best not to tear up in front of her siblings, she has a reputation as an evil sim to maintain.

Calista: Are you okay Kelly

Kelly: Si ma. I just… wasn’t sure how you’d all take… me

Calista: Oh cara, like your pa said, we love you. We’re your family. We’re always going to be on your side

Kelly: Even if I kill someone

Calista: *laughs* Please try not to kill anyone *whispers* although I have a feeling that your pa would absolutely be your lawyer

Aaron: *laughs* Well don’t just go encouraging her to be a killer

After a hug with Calista Kelly lets out a celebratory cheer.

Deanna does not wake up feeling well. She gets dressed but can’t be bothered putting her contacts in today, glasses it is. She grabs some leftover cake and goes past Kelly and Aaron, barely taking them in.

Aaron: What’s wrong cara

Deanna: I have a horrible headache and feel like poop

Kelly: You mean you feel as bad on the inside as you look on the outside

Deanna: Probably

Kelly: No retaliation? *sighs* Just admit you don’t want me to have fun today

Deanna: You should be at school gremlin but you got in fights. Excuse me if I’m unimpressed

Kelly and Aaron head off while Deanna contemplates a nap rather than homework. What use are good grades if you’re dead?

Kelly: Why am I seeing him

Aaron: Harvey said his son had a good time

Kelly: Pa no one has a good time at medical appointments

Aaron: *sighs* maybe not but he said it helped him, how’s that?

Kelly: Guess it’ll do. So long as he doesn’t try to un evil me

Aaron: Tell him about the trouble you’ve had in class

Kelly: Si pa

Aaron: And tell him your family support you being trans because he’ll want to know

Kelly: Si pa. Think you can stop telling me what to do now?

Dr H: Kelly York?

Kelly: Yeah that’s me, this is my pa Aaron

Dr H: Nice to meet you. I’m Doctor Xander Hanks, the psychiatrist here. Will you be joining us Aaron?

Aaron: Kelly wanted to do this by herself if that’s okay

Dr H: Perfectly fine but I’d like to bring you in at the end to discuss next steps if that’s okay with Kelly

Kelly shrugs and walks herself into the office, choosing the couch that most faces the door. Dr Hanks sits down opposite her.

Dr H: Let me tell you a bit about myself. Following medical school I-

Kelly: Don’t care about you

Dr H: We can skip the pleasantries if you prefer

Kelly: You talk weird

Dr H: Why don’t you tell me why you’re here today

Kelly: *shrugs and kicks foot* They kicked me out of school for a day

Dr H: They? Why did “they” do that?

Kelly: The principal got batpoop mad because I punched one kid and stomped on the foot of another, but they had it coming

Dr H: Do you often have trouble with your temper Kelly

Kelly: I’m a teen. You're a professional, don't you know we have trouble with everything

Dr H: Anything you’d care to share

Kelly: Well ma and pa wanted me to come because…

Here she pauses. As hard as it was to tell Joey who loves her, telling a stranger is a harder task.

Dr H: Why don’t you tell me about why you got in the fights

Kelly sighs and tells him about Roger, the kid who teased her about her struggles in English class.

Dr H: Why did that upset you so much

Kelly: I don’t know. I can usually take a joke, I’m the first to make a joke after my friend Fergus. I guess… I was a bit worried he might be right. I survived middle school but now the words are longer and smaller and they can jam together sometimes in my head. But I’m not crazy!

Dr H: I wouldn’t call someone crazy Kelly. It is possible you have an undiagnosed learning disorder. I can send you to my colleague after this visit for an assessment if you’d like

Kelly shrugs noncommittally and Dr Hanks continues.

Dr H: What about the stomped foot incident

Kelly: I was trying to talk to my best friend Anya about what she learned in health because they separate the class boy girl style. I was curious, I mean I’ve only heard a bit, and this other girl took offense at me learning because I was a boy so she complained loudly then I stomped on her foot. That just made her scream more

Dr H: Was she unaware you’re trans

Kelly: *defensively* How’d you know that

Dr H: Forgive me if I’ve overstepped. Your father used the pronoun her when he ushered you in-

Kelly: I know this outfit doesn’t exactly scream natural girl but…

Dr H: And you said you were a boy when the disagreement happened

Kelly: Oh…. Right, I did… Sorry. I’ve only just come out to my family it’s still... difficult

Dr H: You have nothing to apologise for. I find the term “natural girl” to be unhelpful when talking about gender. If someone is the gender they were assigned at birth, they are cisgender. If they are not the gender they were assigned at birth, they are transgender. Have you heard that language before

Kelly: Here and there. I mean my friend’s older sibling is… oh shoot he did tell me the term…. Non something…

Dr H: Nonbinary?

Kelly: That’s it! So technically he, I mean they, are trans?

Dr H: *nods* You’ve got it. There are many ways to be female, just as there are many ways to be male, or both, or none. Was this why your parents wanted you to see me?

Kelly: Sort of. I mean I know I’m a girl but *sighs* I don’t know what to do about it. Transitioning just seems so big

Dr H: Maybe talking it out can make it a bit smaller huh

The two discuss the situation a bit more and when Kelly feels ready Dr Hanks retrieves Aaron from reception.

Dr H: Your daughter certainly knows her own mind. You must be proud

Aaron: I am. She can be a handful but I am

Kelly: Being stubborn has benefits okay pa

Aaron: I know

Dr H: After this I’m going to send you to my colleague who will do a learning assessment on Kelly. She may benefit from additional academic support. We have discussed possible next steps for her identity as well

Aaron: What are they

Kelly: Basically the government is stupid and science hates me

Aaron: I’m sure that’s not true

Dr H: There are scientific debates about at what age we can start on hormones and other physical interventions. At the moment the youngest age for medical transition is 16

Kelly: But he says I don’t have to do that if I don’t want to, any changes I make will be up to me. I say who I am, I'm in charge

Aaron is glad to see Kelly smile at this.

Dr H: There are many non-medical changes that can be made while she thinks about it. Kelly has already switched pronouns, she may want to change her name or her wardrobe. I’m going to refer her for therapy-

Kelly: He says I might get this thing called body dysmorphic disorder. Or anxiety, or depression or whatever

Dr H: Body dysmorphia can overlap with gender dysphoria so I like to make sure my trans patients have adequate support. I’ve prescribed some antidepressants which I think will be helpful as support during the transition period but I’d like to order some blood tests to make sure we don’t need to do any medical interventions yet

Aaron: What can me and her ma do

Dr H: Keep supporting her. She has expressed some anxiety about her personality traits. I would urge you and the rest of her family to remember her gender identity is not responsible for her personality or vice versa despite being a big part of who she is

Aaron: We can do that

The two get up to leave and Aaron is surprised when Kelly not only thanks the doctor but gives him a hug as well. Maybe her evil trait will be easier to balance with age.

Results of today’s medical appointments. Kelly has dyslexia and body dysmorphic disorder. Sorry it was a bit long, I didn't want to cut her off mid session.

York Household: Chapter 9, Part 8

Calista and Aaron try out this nectar making contraption then it's time for Kelly's birthday.

CW: Unicorn zombie with minor carton gore

The Yorks are Italian so if you see them using words that don't look like English it's Italian, or what google assures me is Italian. Caro/Cara: Dear Buongiorno: Good morning Piccolo: Little one Tesoro: Treasure Nonno: Grandfather Nonna: Grandmother Si: Yes Grazie: Thank you Per Favore: Please Buon Compleanno: Happy Birthday

Calista: Buongiorno caro, Buon compleanno

Kelly: Grazie Ma. Pa, did you make my cake

Aaron: One chocolate cake, candle covered, ready for later

Kelly: Better go or I’ll miss the bus, can’t wait to rub my birthday in everyone’s faces!

Calista: He’s sure got enthusiasm

Aaron: Have you see Deanna yet Tesoro

Calista: No but Devin text half an hour ago saying she was heading home and Deanna had slept a good chunk of the night

Aaron: Ready to start our nectar empire?

Calista: *laughs* bring it on

Aaron: So what do we start with

Calista: Harvesting and watering

Aaron: I meant after that

Calista: I think you need to clarify your questions councillor

Aaron: *laughs* Yes captain

Calista: Let’s do the apples while we get the hang of it, they’re probably going to be less successful than the grapes anyway

The two get in and start stomping!

Aaron: It feels so weird

Calista: Come on amore, channel your ancestors

Aaron: I’m pretty sure they were all sheep farmers not nectar- UHHH

Calista: Oh and he slips straight on his butt, the crowd goes wild!

Aaron: It’s not like this is a flat surface

Calista: You’ll need a better defense than- UHHH

Aaron: I see you’ve decided to join my sit in

Calista: *laughs* I picked the wrong coloured pants for this

Despite starting at the same time Aaron finishes his bottle first. They both do a second bottle of apple nectar, they all end up average  despite my thinking they would be poor.

Aaron: Here, I’ll clean this one and you start your grape nectar in it while I clean yours

Calista: You’re just showing off about finishing early

Aaron: Oh Tesoro, you know I show off about everything

Calista: Well maybe finishing early isn’t the brag you think it is. You’ve certainly never bragged about finishing early before. Normally you brag about lasting-

Aaron: Don’t make me sweat, the nectar will go funny

Despite not feeling like it, Deanna got up, showered, and is working on the homework she was too upset to do last night. At least the lines of physics and comedy take her mind off Paris. Wondering where she is, how she’s doing, who she might have met… She pulls herself together and decides to head to campus early to get her presentation finished before classes.

I mean if there is a good view while nectar making this has got to be it! Aaron and Calista each make a bottle of grape nectar for the cellar, and discover how more colourful grape splatter is to fall into. When they’re finished they head off to shower off the sticky, but being self absorbed and active sims they both try fit in a workout before the birthday party.

Luna arrives early and assures Aaron her twins will not be attending the party, Alfred would get overwhelmed and Rilian is still somewhat afraid of Kelly.

Kelly: So this is it Bun Bun. Teenage time. Time to find out if my guesses will be anything close

Bun Bun: *sits in comforting silence*

Kelly: I am going to miss hugging you though. I wish it wasn’t limited to childish sims. Better do one more hug for luck

Calista: Table set, guests invited, cake out. It’s go time!

Eliza: I love how your house is always tidy

Calista: That’s Aaron, vacuumed everything early this morning

Sims gather round and the traditional birthday song begins. Kelly thinks of his wish, blows the candles and… nothing

Kelly: Why didn’t the candles go out

Joey: Surprise! I got you fake candles for your gift

Kelly: *laughs fakely* Go get me water to put them out if you don’t want me setting you on fire

Joey: *laughing* warning heard

Candles out, time to spin!

My teenagers get a trait rolled from their parents traits and Kelly has got the over achiever trait from Aaron. Blue is his last favourite colour, he likes basic furniture and style choices are hipster, rocker and polished. New likes include video gaming, malicious interactions, and flirtation. New dislikes include flower arranging, pet enthusiasts and classical music. He’s also rolled being pansexual with romantic attraction to female sims. I'm also trying out randomising the aspiration category and choosing from within that rather than randomising a specific thing (because he rolled Friend of the World, I don't think that fits) so he's going to be trying to become president (still in the popularity section)

Oh yeah and Deanna got a post breakup makeover.

Anya: So what’s it like being old

Kelly: Weird. And kind of annoying

Drake: Your face is annoying

Kelly: You’re still mad about that sleepover comment? At least I didn’t age up with that makeup disaster on

Drake: Shut up! It’s just my party outfit

Chasity: I think Drake is just revealing his style

Drake: Am not

Kelly: Grazie for coming

Devin: A thank you? Who are you and what have you done with my brother

Kelly then goes in for a hug, taking me and Devin by surprise.

Devin: You all good gremlin

Kelly: It just... feels strange to be this tall

Devin: Hate to break it to you but actually we’re all short

Kelly: Maybe. Something just feels off

Luna: Are you hiding in here

Deanna: No. Someone just needed to fix the TV

Joey: And that had to be you because…

Deanna: Because I’m learning handiness for my degree. Why the inquisition?

Luna: I think your hair looks nice. Did you enjoy shopping with Devin

Deanna: I never enjoy shopping. But I am glad to have a proper skin shade now

York Household: Chapter 9, Part 7

Deanna expresses her feelings while Joey tries to be supportive. Kelly does not try to be supportive.

The Yorks are Italian so if you see them using words that don't look like English it's Italian, or what google assures me is Italian. Caro/Cara: Dear Buongiorno: Good morning Piccolo: Little one Tesoro: Treasure Nonno: Grandfather Nonna: Grandmother Si: Yes Grazie: Thank you Per Favore: Please Buon Compleanno: Happy Birthday

Deanna moves inside forlornly, hardly looking where she’s going. She feels sadness and anger swirling inside her.

Joey: Come here sis

Deanna: Joey?

Joey: Pa thought I should stay. He’s gone to buy cheese

Deanna goes and throws her arms around her big brother, hugging him close. Thank the watcher for her family. The tears in her eyes flow freely now and she couldn't say how long she stood there sobbing into Joey's jacket. Eventually she manages to slow down the sobs to speak.

Deanna: I just got dumped *sadly* I didn’t see it coming

Joey: Come and sit, we can talk

Deanna: No. I need to block that… I need to block my ex. She’s left, she doesn’t get the luxury of seeing my life anymore

Joey: I mean… straight to block? I thought you loved her

Deanna: I do! I mean I did *sighs* it’s complicated Joey

Joey: Thank the watcher I don’t get romantic feelings

Deanna: I’m sorry, if that's you trying to be helpful I'd rather face it alone

Joey: I just wonder, if you loved her, why aren’t you fighting for her

Deanna: She thinks I loved what she was more than who she was

Joey: What does that mean

Deanna: Nevermind. She was wrong

After Kelly has stayed on the second floor patio long enough to see Paris fade into the distance he goes to join his siblings in waiting for dinner.

Kelly: Woah you look terrible

Deanna: Shut up goblin, I’m not in the mood

Kelly: I thought saying you’ve looked better was a compliment for all those other times you didn’t look like this

Deanna: It isn’t and you know that

Kelly: Hey Joey, are you coming to my birthday party tomorrow

Joey: Am I invited

Kelly: You’re my brother, of course you’re invited. I’m evil but family get a special pass

Deanna: You literally insult me daily

Kelly: Do I? Or do I prepare you for the harshness of the world

Deanna: Look, I just got dumped, I’m not in the mood for your mind games

Kelly: Good riddance. She was clearly a peasant

Deanna: Look, you may be too young to understand-

Kelly: I’m 13 tomorrow

Deanna: Whatever. Point is if you love someone it’s hard to lose them

Kelly: But… she… was… a PEASANT. Sooner you accept that the happier you’ll be

Joey: That kind of made sense

Deanna: *scoffs* Don’t encourage him Joey

The oven needed a quick scrub but Aaron manages to cook some excellent level Mac and Cheese.

Kelly: YES! De you should get dumped more so we get greasy food

Deanna: *sighs* Pass me a plate then troll

Joey: Home is where the good pasta is. Grazie pa

Aaron: You’re welcome

Deanna: Grazie pa *sadly moves food about*

Aaron: You’re welcome *long silence* Kelly?

Kelly: Si pa?

Aaron: Do you have something to say

Kelly: Si... Wombats poop squares

Aaron: Do they now

Kelly: Si

*phone noise*

Aaron: Joey, it’s still no phones at the table

Joey: But I’m running some tests on my mini game. It’s like blicblock, but forget everything you know about blicblock

Aaron: Do you think the main game will be ready for release soon

Joey: I hope so but I’m trying to grind at work so I’ve only got pockets of time. Plus Alfred and Rilian like to show me their toys. I want it polished before I release it, start strong

Before everyone is finished eating Calista gets home from her shift.

Calista: I do love mac and cheese

Deanna: Mama… Paris left

Calista: I’m so sorry cara (Aaron has already text her a heads up of the situation so she’s not caught off guard)

Deanna: And she accused me of not loving her. Can you believe that?

Calista: So she said “it’s not me it’s you”

Deanna: Not exactly. She kept going on about wanting to find herself and needing to go out into the world. I offered to keep in touch but… she didn’t want that. She didn’t want me

Kelly: She was a peasant *leaves table without being excused* I vote for the watcher to delete her

Deanna: *sadly* What am I meant to do now

Joey: Whatever you feel like. Have a day of mourning if you want. Eat ice cream and drink nectar and watch films until you cry. Then tomorrow, after a good night’s sleep, you dust yourself off and carry on. You understand robotics De, don’t let this mess up your study because I think you could be a pioneer one day

Deanna: You really think that?

Joey: Of course I do. And you have to listen to me, because I’m a genius

Deanna tucks into the last of her food with the most energy she’s had all meal while Calista mouths grazie to Joey.

When the table is free Kelly grabs out his trusty diary. There’s the normal entry start, who’s on his hitlist today and why. Then comes a more thoughtful paragraph wondering about teen life. Will it be what he expects? Will he be what he expects? Will people treat him differently? Can he still keep the evil mantle with more personality? At least Mantis is immortal and can never leave.

Deanna is lounging in her cottage with the comedy channel on but she's paying it no attention. She's scrolling through photos on her phone when a familiar sim bursts through her door.

Devin: De! Joey told me what happened! Come here

The two kiss on the cheek and hug. Even though Devin has already heard the story she lets Deanna tell it again to get it off her chest.

Devin: Oh my! Clearly we need to make some changes

Deanna: What do you mean

Devin: *gently* Cara you are not going to heal with photos of the two of you in your face

Deanna: But *sniffles* she’s in most of my friend photos

Devin: Come to your room, I’ll work my style magic on your walls

Devin: There. Now she’s not in your room. The friend photos with her are not where you’ll be trying to sleep

Deanna: Thanks Devin

Devin: Of course. Now sleep, tomorrow after classes we’re going shopping

Deanna: But I hate shopping

Devin: I know but I used my status as favourite to convince the watcher she needs to change your skintone to fit the rest of us, may as well get a style over. Nothing says I’m newly single like changing your hair

York Household: Chapter 9, Part 9

Reece comes for a quick stay over and Kelly's first day of high school does not go well.

CW: Unicorn zombie with minor carton gore, mentions of dysphoria

The Yorks are Italian so if you see them using words that don't look like English it's Italian, or what google assures me is Italian. Caro/Cara: Dear Buongiorno: Good morning Piccolo: Little one Tesoro: Treasure Nonno: Grandfather Nonna: Grandmother Si: Yes Grazie: Thank you Per Favore: Please Buon Compleanno: Happy Birthday

The birthday party has ended but there’s someone arriving.

Deanna: Reece? What are you doing here

Reece: Isn’t it obvious? My best friend got dumped. I’m here to make sure you don’t slide into a depressive rut

Deanna: Thanks but what about Samir

Reece: Trust me, he’s capable of surviving a day without me. Now where’s the food? And we can talk about that no good Paris

The pair grab some leftover mac and cheese and head to the patio.

Reece: Have I been blind or did you get a tan

Deanna: It’s the new me, finally looking Italian like the rest of my family now

Calista: So here’s your gift from me

Kelly: A locust?

Calista: There was a plague of them, figured that sounded like a bug you would like

Kelly: Grazie ma

Calista: The gift from your pa is on the porch

Kelly goes out and sees a new teen sized bike waiting for him. Excitedly he hops on and sets off to speed down his favourite hills

After eating Reece and Deanna head out to the nature beside the house. They both love the outdoors so feel more comfortable surrounded by nature than indoors.

Deanna: Can I ask you a serious question

Reece: Of course

Deanna: What do you love about Samir? Something you love that’s not what he looks like or how you look after him?

Reece: Oh, we’re going deep then. Well there’s a bunch related to the stuff you said but separate from that… *smiles* easy, his dedication. He goes after things with his whole heart and doesn’t give up when he comes across hurdles. *laughs* Actually do you know back in high school he’d arrive two hours before the doors got unlocked to run football drills on the field?

Deanna: Dang, when did he sleep

Reece: But of course am in love with his biceps to. And really… we look after each other more than just me looking after him, or the other way around

Deanna: *sighs* Paris said that I was in love with what she was, not who she was. She said I loved that she was an orphan that I could look out for and protect, because she asked me what I asked you and I didn’t have an answer

Reece: You didn’t?

Deanna: No. I’ve been thinking since and… maybe she was right. I loved that she was a cute blonde who was somehow shorter than me. Helping her made me feel good about myself. Did I love her? Did I even know what made her different from any other short blonde out there?

Reece: From the outside you seemed smitten but De… only you know the answer to that. Do you miss her

Deanna is silent for a while, but Reece knows she'll speak when she's figured out what she wants to say.

Deanna: Honestly… not as much as I thought I would

(her sad moodlet lasted a single afternoon it was weird)

Deanna: Maybe it was for the best that she left. I shouldn’t blame her for being the first one to see my heart wasn’t in it

The two lie quietly for a while, watching the clouds change colour in the sunset and smelling the sea on the breeze.

Reece: Look on the bright side. Now you get to go out there and find new women to woohoo

Deanna: Hmm, I suppose I can take your share

Reece: Deal, you have the tacos and I’ll have the sausage

Both of them spend the next few minutes giggling to themselves. They’ve been friends for most of their lives, being together remains easy no matter how complex life gets. After a while Reece pulls Deanna to her feet and they head inside so Deanna can do her university homework.

Kelly wakes up early the next morning, anxious to get ready for his first day of high school even if the watcher will not be accompanying him. He’s started feeling embarrassed about his new teenage body, like it doesn’t fit right. Trying to bush it off he decides to do a dance workout after breakfast. Workouts always seem to make his parents feel good about themselves.

Unfortunately school was rocky. Kelly got in two separate fights and his principal said he would be stood down for a day. Kelly knew his pa would also get a call so rather than head home after the last bell he opted to swing by Atlas’ house.

Atlas: Stupid rain. We could have gone for a bike ride

Kelly: There’s been a lot of stupid today

They head in and while Atlas has some chores Kelly decides to pass the time talking to Atlas’ mum Celeste. She is pretty dubious of him and his evil antics, especially since Atlas got the good trait on age up.

Celeste: Did you two enjoy your first day

Kelly: So many new sims to tor- get to know. And teachers

Celeste: How did you find it Atlas

Atlas: Fine but Kelly was the best entertainment all day

Celeste: Oh?

Kelly: Just a few scraps, no big deal. It's not like anyone had to go to hospital

Atlas: You’ll need to sell it better than that to your lawyer pa

Celeste: Hmm. Better catch that loading screen Kelly. You don’t want the rain to glitch anything

Atlas mouths an apology while Kelly shrugs and tries to look unbothered.

Aaron: Care to explain?

Kelly: It wasn’t my fault! Well, not completely

Aaron: Kelly, we know you have an evil side. We accept it. Per favore, can you be honest with me caro

Kelly: Fine. I was having some trouble in English and this kid beside me, Roger, said I looked like I was dyslexic and laughed so I pulled his chair out from under him. He punched me after that so I hit him back

Aaron: And the second fight

Kelly: *sighs* they split the boys and girls for the health lesson. At lunch I asked Anya what she learned and some girl thought I was being a creep for asking so I stomped on her foot. She wailed and told the duty teacher I’d attacked her

Aaron: *sighs* I see. Grazie for telling me what happened

Kelly: Am I grounded pa

Aaron: Personally I think a day stood down from school is plenty enough punishment. Education is important, it’s stupid to take it away as a punishment

Deanna: So you crashed and burned on your first day? Rough luck

Kelly: Shut up. At least…

Deanna: No comeback?

Kelly: I think I want to talk to Joey

Deanna: *laughs* careful or someone will accuse you of loving your family

Kelly sighs in indignation but calls Joey who is happy to come around and chill (he’s a bro, chilling is what he does best)

Joey: There’s Rocky!

Kelly: There’s who

Joey: Nevermind, clearly before your time. What did you want to chat about

Kelly: I got in some fights today

Joey: Okay and? Because to be honest bro I figured you would

Kelly: I’ve been feeling off since becoming a teen

Joey: We all do, it takes time to adjust. It'll pass

Kelly: I don’t think so

Joey: What makes you think that

Kelly: In health class they were talking about everything puberty does to us and our pixel parts and it just... felt wrong. Like I don’t want any of it to happen to me!

Joey: So you don’t want to be a grown human? You want to be in a kid body forever?

Kelly: I do want to be grown! I just… don’t want to be a grown man

Joey: Oh… I’m a dolt for not realising what you meant, sorry!

Kelly: I was talking to Anya about what the girls learned and honestly, I wish I’d been born a girl so I could go through that instead. Don't laugh but... I want to be a woman one day

Joey: Okay. You were clearly born a girl though if that's what you feel

Kelly: What? My parts aren't-

Joey: *sighs* Someone just got your code wrong on the physical side. Glitches happen all the time. Come here sis, it’ll be fine

Kelly always had a feeling her older brother was open minded but it was nice to have confirmation. As he wrapped her in his arms she felt herself relax a bit. Maybe things wouldn’t be so tough?

(They won’t be Kelly! I pinky promise you this is a transphobia free save!)

Hi, me popping in! I'd just like you to know that Kelly rolled being trans all by herself when she aged up! It was zero percent planned but I am super excited for developing her story. It will be a big change, just like Onyx being non-binary, so please don't beat yourself up if you accidentally misgender my evil bean in a comment while your brain switches her pronouns. Hopefully it can be practice for all of us, and will help us make pronoun switches more easily in the real world. Obviously if you purposely misgender her you should stop following me because I'm not interested in nonsense like that.

Final comment, she will absolutely still be evil. Her next bit of story will be more focused on her gender rather than her terrorising the populace, but you can expect she's still going to be her. So if you go swimming in Tartosa, don't wear polka dots.

York Household: Chapter 9, Part 4

Time for a York family brunch!

The Yorks are Italian so if you see them using words that don't look like English it's Italian, or what google assures me is Italian. Caro/Cara: Dear Buongiorno: Good morning Piccolo: Little one Tesoro: Treasure Nonno: Grandfather Nonna: Grandmother Si: Yes Grazie: Thank you Per Favore: Please Buon Compleanno: Happy Birthday

Paris has been watching some kids TV in the apartment she shares with Deanna but, eventually getting bored, starts playing with an infant toy she found in Kelly’s toybox. Perks of being a childish sim.

Deanna: I’m done!

Paris: You are?

Deanna: Well 3 out of 4 lots of homework but I’m to tired to do more

Paris: You can always do it tomorrow

Deanna: And how about you? Can I do you tonight?

Paris: *coyly* If you want

Deanna: I do want

Aaron: Think we can woohoo without a kid barging in saying Kelly made them cry

Calista: I think the kids he hangs out with are tougher than that

After the pair are satisfied Calista cuddles up beside Aaron as he plays with her hair.

Calista: Por favore, can you be in good Nonno mode for brunch

Aaron: What do you mean

Calista: No telling Rilian he’s coddled or Alfred that he's the better twin. They’re speaking now, they can catch on

Aaron: *sighs* Rilian cries at the drop of a hat

Calista pinches Aaron.

Aaron: Fine, fine! I’ll try keep my annoyance to a minimum

At long last the whole house slumbers.

Devin: Buongiorno pa

Aaron: Cara, you’re here

Devin: Forget fashionable late I’d far rather be fashionably early

Deanna: Shh! They’re sleeping

Devin: Why is the lounge full of sleeping kids at almost 11am

Aaron: I think Kelly kept them up late with his spooky stories. We should probably get them up before brunch starts though

Devin: Yep. I don’t need any kid stealing all of ma’s omelettes

The family arrive for brunch and while Calista gets the last of Kelly’s guests on their way Aaron puts the toddlers in the high chairs.

Aaron: Here we have some omelettes cooked by your nonna, just for you

Alfred: For me

Devin: Si. Make sure you eat it before it gets cold

Alfred: No eat. Talk mama

Devin: Rilian, will you please eat

Rilian: It poison?

Calista: I don’t know what your cheeky Zio Kelly told you, but I would never give you poison. I promise, I made this with love and it tastes very good

Devin takes time to encourage Rilian to eat, he’s a picky eater, but eventually he starts to nibble on the omelette. His little face lights up and he begins to tuck in happily. Of course nonno Aaron is oblivious to this show of superior twin power as he’s over with the second generation of Yorks to eat.

Luna: How is the nectar garden going

Calista: We’re still waiting for the fruit to grow but-

Rilian: I DONE

Luna: *tuts* Rilian it is not good to interrupt. I am happy you finished your meal though

Alfred: This good nonna

Devin: What do we say

Alfred: Tank? Tank nonna

Calista: *smiles* at least he’s trying

Luna: We figure we’ll teach them grazie and danke after they know what thank you actually means

Aaron: How are you today Rilian? *looks at Calista deliberately*

Rilian: *smiles* I good good nonno. I eat up

Aaron: Oh? Molto bene

Rilian: *looks puzzled*

Devin: It’s Italian caro, you’ll learn in time

Rilian: Oh. Nonna can I out

Calista: Since you have finished eating sure

Joey: I see you also ate yours Alfred

Alfred: Yes Zio Joey *blows kiss*

Joey: aww, thanks piccolo

Freed from his chair Rilian toddles around and toddles right into Kelly.

Rilian: Zio Ke, Zio Ke! I eat up

Kelly: Did you now? How do you know it wasn’t poison

Rilian: *thinks* it taste good, mo bean (molto bene)

Kelly: That’s good news. You’ll have enough energy to survive then

Rilian: Huh

Kelly: See I was bitten last night and now I’m a MONSTER

Rilian: *jumps out of skin*

Rilian: *wailing*

Kelly: Shut up you’re fine

Rilian: *cries loudly* NONNO ZIO KE MEAN

Aaron: *sighs* Coming Rilian

Rilian: *sniffles and smiles at Kelly*

Kelly: Oh you little poop you're totally acting

Aaron: What’s going on over here then

Alfred: Up nonna up

Calista: Here I come. Uh oh, sounds like Rilian might be having some trouble

Alfred: I help, I snuggle

Calista: *hugging tightly* That’s right, you’re a snuggle bug aren’t you piccolo. All right, down we go

Alfred: I free, I free

…

Aaron: Kelly what did you do?

Kelly: He’s fine, he just smiled at me!

Rilian: *sniffles* Nonno Zio Ke scare *pouts*

Aaron: *sighs* You decided it was a good idea to scare a three year old?

Kelly: I said I was a monster and he overreacted

Aaron: Kelly he’s a toddler, of course monsters are scary

Rilian: *sniffles* Nonno I sad

Aaron: Don’t worry Rilian, we can find something fun. As for you Kelly, time out

Kelly: *sighs* nobody has a sense of humour in this family

Defeated he goes and sits. Alfred comes over and tries talking to him but like normal Kelly prefers to ignore his nephews. Meanwhile Aaron scoops Rilian up and plays with him until he’s calmed down properly.

So what do we reackon folks? I'm still not 100% certain what happened with Kelly and Rilian. Reminder to read the whole option before clicking (it's me, I only read half the sentence then realise I was too eager to click)

York Household: Chapter 9, Part 2

My favouite sim visits without being invited because she is fabulous. Devin and Paris discuss how Devin knew she wanted to be an actress.

The Yorks are Italian so if you see them using words that don't look like English it's Italian, or what google assures me is Italian. Caro/Cara: Dear Buongiorno: Good morning Piccolo: Little one Tesoro: Treasure Nonno: Grandfather Nonna: Grandmother Si: Yes Grazie: Thank you Per Favore: Please Buon Compleanno: Happy Birthday

Paris: Do you need any help up here?

Calista: Grazie Paris but no. I’m almost finished then we just have to wait for plants to grow

Paris: Oh

Calista: Are you okay? You seem a bit glum

Paris: Guess I just don’t like clouds

Calista: How about going for a run? It always helps clear my mind. And if you ever need to talk about anything you feel like you need a parent to hear, I’ll be around

Paris: *forces smile* Thanks Calista

Paris heads off, hoping a run will lift her mood. The main problem is high school is over. She knew who she was there, a cheerleader. What is she now? What does she want? What can she even do? Calista is kind but she would prefer her parents to be alive so she could talk to them.

Kelly: Bun bun! Let me tell you about my morning. I ran into the perfect target

Bun Bun: *silence*

Kelly: She was a stuck up lady at the beach. I totally got under her skin

Bun Bun: *silence*

Kelly: Exactly!

Kelly takes time to tell bun bun all the juicy details, and imagine some gore like normal. Bun bun is left smiling happily!

Paris gets back home to see Devin at the door.

Devin: Hey Paris

Paris: You here to see your parents

Devin: Whoever is in. Luna’s taking the boys to visit their uncles in Windenburg today so I’ve got time on my hands

Paris: I’d love to talk to you actually

Devin: About what

Paris: About you

Devin: Ah! My favourite topic! *laughs* Let’s sit

Paris: How did you know you wanted to be an actor?

Devin: I've answered this in interviews a billion times! I have what I like to call natural dramatic flair

Paris: I’ve noticed

Devin: I’m going to take that as a compliment. Anyways I’ve always loved playing dress up and pretending to be loads of characters. I drove Joey mad with all my make believe games, he just wanted to have an iPad. I enjoyed drama in high school and figured, if I can make a career out of playing dress up, why not?

Paris: But you knew what you wanted to do? Like right out of high school?

Devin: Yes and no? I mean I had a dream, but it wouldn’t have happened without hard work, a whole lot of luck and a supportive partner. And my flawless complexion of course

Calista: Of course cara

Devin: *laughs* You made this face ma, be proud of it because I am

Calista: Si cara

Paris: I have no idea what I want to do

Kelly: Why is no one asking what I want to do

Devin: We know what you want to do

Kelly: No you don’t

Devin: Sow seeds of destruction and chaos throughout the world

Kelly: Lucky guess

Calista: You’ll figure it out. I had no idea what to do after high school-

Kelly: But then she met pa and they had very boring adventures up and down the whole of Italy until they decided to move to Willow Creek and have my accidental back birth of a sister

Devin: Why do you have to be such a gremlin

Kelly: Evil’s going to evil. Have fun with your twins. *smirks* Is Rilian still avoiding bad tasting food because it could be poison

Devin: Go away, you’re not my brother

Kelly: You’re just mad I’m smart

Devin: Oh yeah, smart enough to trick a 3 year old, how impressive

Kelly and Devin began to exchange insults in Italian until Calista, having had enough, tells Kelly to go work on his mental skill which is still languishing down at level 3.

Paris: I feel so useless. If I was smart I could just make a decision

Devin: You’re not useless just because you don’t know what you want to do. Like ma was saying before Kelly rudely interrupted, she had to take time to figure it out. Luna didn’t always know she was going to be a professor

Paris: Well why did she decide to do that

Devin: Because it encompasses who she is. She’s super brainy, she picks things up quick and genuinely loves learning new stuff. She says with teaching you never stop learning. Then she’s encouraging. Growing up with her dad, it was always her that looked out for her brothers, helped them when they needed it. As a professor she gets to help students all the time. She fosters their potential until they can see it. It makes her a great mum as well

Paris: So maybe if I can figure out who I am, then I’ll be able to figure out what I want to do

Calista: Just remember Paris, you’re very young. It’s normal to not know who you are at your age

Devin: Plus, we’re never just one thing. We’re a bunch of things

Paris: Thank you Devin, I appreciate it

Devin remains dubious about the whole conversation though. It sounds like Paris has never seen or read any interview she’s done. Clearly Deanna needs to sing her praises more, or Paris needs to listen better. Maybe she should get them ZBB: Apocalypse Rising on DVD so they can see her behind the scenes interviews...

Kelly: They’ll never see this coming

Deanna: Can you do that quietly

Kelly: You’re the one at MY desk. Now, do I use mantis droppings or… do I use sour milk

Deanna: Why are you so attached to your praying mantis?

Kelly: They kill their mates. I get to have a murderer in my room! How awesome is that???

Deanna: Not the word I’d choose

York Household: Chapter 9, Part 3

In this part Reece swings by to visit Deanna and Kelly throws his final child sleepover.

The Yorks are Italian so if you see them using words that don't look like English it's Italian, or what google assures me is Italian. Caro/Cara: Dear Buongiorno: Good morning Piccolo: Little one Tesoro: Treasure Nonno: Grandfather Nonna: Grandmother Si: Yes Grazie: Thank you Per Favore: Please Buon Compleanno: Happy Birthday

Devin: But why are you going to make nectar

Calista: I’m a maker cara, I like to create. Plus we’re Italian. If there’s an opportunity to make nectar, how could we not embrace it

Devin: Well sure but do you really have to stomp in it

Calista: If you want it done authentically, si

Devin: Do you like… wash your feet first

Calista: Si but the acidity of the juice and the fermentation kills anything troubling

Devin: Well if you give me any it better have gone through extra fermentation

*doorbell*

Paris: I’ll grab it

…

Paris: Reece! Come in. Deanna is pretty busy with coursework but I’m here

Reece: Oh right! We’re doing different majors, I forgot the programme she wanted to get into was starting this week

Paris: Yeah she’s swamped but she’s bound to take a break in the next hour. How have you been

Reece: *smiles* Happy. What about you?

Paris: Still waiting for inspiration for the future

Reece: What do you mean

Paris: Why are you doing a biology degree

Reece: Me? Well I love nature

Paris: So you’re not just doing it because your sisters did it

Reece: *somewhat offended* No Paris, I’m not. I’m capable of making my own decisions

Paris: How did you pick it? I’m not trying to be snarky, honest, I just don’t know how critical thinking works

Reece: Oh. I thought about what I like, what I enjoy, who I am. Biology seemed the best path forward

Reece: But higher education isn’t for everyone. Like my sister-in-law doesn’t have a degree, neither does my sisters fiancé. And who knows if Samir will ever feel like studying

Deanna: What are we talking about

Reece: How we picked degrees. Let me guess, you looked in to the eyes of a robot and “knew”

Deanna: Come here you goof, I’ve not seen you in ages

Reece: I’m a genius actually, I just be a goof because I know you like comedy

Deanna: I am taking a comedy elective

Reece: Shut up, you are not

Devin: She needs something to break up the big brain classes

Deanna: There’s far more pre homework than I realised

Reece: You’ll handle it, you’re a problem solver

Deanna: Not always. Devin, you want to tell the story about-

Devin: YES. So there we were, a teen and her two kid siblings, berated by the constant crying of our newborn brother. When he finally fell asleep ma also had to sleep, and pa had an important case, so who was in charge of our dinner? The three of us

Devin’s story is of course filled with drama, chaos and problem solving so poor it leaves Reece speechless.

Paris: But you’re older now babe, you can make better decisions

Deanna: Maybe. I’ve got some free time now if you’d like to test out my decision making…

Reece: As an understander of innuendo I’m going to take my leave

Devin: Right behind you. Have fun you two, I’ll see you for family brunch

Kelly’s friends arrive at 5. Unfortunately the clouds are still hanging around so it’s hard to see the meal Aaron cooked for them.

Fergus: Is this chicken

Kelly: Of course it’s chicken, the roast is right there

Anya: Will we watch a movie tonight

Chasity: I want to do more scary stories

Drake: I’ve thought of one that’s going to blow your old one out of the water Kelly

Kelly: *scoffs* dream on

Atlas: Thanks for dinner Mrs York

Calista: Kelly’s pa cooked it but I will tell him you appreciated it

Calista: They’re movie watching, should be mostly quiet for a while

Aaron: Good. I need to do more cooking to get us through the week

Calista: I was thinking by Kelly’s birthday most of the plants should have sprouted. Maybe we should take the day off work and try out nectar making properly

Aaron: Sounds like a plan captain

Calista: *giggles* I’m going to go stargaze for a bit, if I can see anything through these clouds

Anya: Yes, a space one, they’re the best

Kelly: It’s called sci-fi ninny

Anya: Bite me

Atlas: Shh you lot, I want to watch

Chasity: You did put on the subtitles right

Kelly: I did

Drake: I hate subtitles

Kelly: Well I hate your face and I survive seeing it

Fergus: Chin up Drake, it’s good manners to make sure everyone can understand what the characters are saying

Chasity: I do appreciate having them

Anya: We know Chasity, and I don’t mind them

The kids mostly quieten down as the film starts. Fergus pulls out a toy to play with mid movie but ends up bonking himself in the head.

Chasity: You okay Fergus

Fergus: Absolutely

Kelly: Maybe you have a concussion and you’ll die

Fergus: Then I’ll haunt your house

Kelly: Oh I’m pretty sure there’s already ghosts all around us, just waiting for the chance to possess us

Paris: Did you remember to eat

Deanna: Huh?

Paris: Did you have dinner while I was having a shower. Please tell me you didn’t go straight back to work

Deanna: *laughs* Don’t worry, dinner has been eaten

Paris: This is good. Your pa is a great cook

Deanna: Always says he picked up his skills traveling with ma but I think my nonna and nonno taught him a few tricks first

Paris: Well I’ll be watching some TV. When you’re ready to sleep come grab me okay

Deanna: Sounds good

Joey: What’s happening back here

Deanna: Shh! Studying

Joey: *whispers* hey ma

Calista: *whispers* caro, what are you doing here so late

Joey: I thought I’d crash Kelly’s sleepover again but he really didn’t want me this time

Aaron: No kidding. I went in to get a book I’d lost and he glared daggers at me until I left

Calista: It’s his last chance to meet his slumber party aspiration, it matters to him. Now Joey, are you bringing anyone to brunch *raises eyebrows*

Joey: No ma, I do not have a girlfriend I’m bringing to brunch

Calista: It doesn’t have to be a girlfriend, I know you don’t want one

Joey: Thanks but I don’t think my one night stands are the kind of women who enjoy a family brunch with a guy they just met

Inside the sleepover continues. The kids exchange banter now and then while the film runs but eventually it ends. At that point the scary stories start! Kelly has not prepared one this time but he enjoys listening to what the others think is scary, and periodically yelling interruptions to scare everyone. After the stories they put some kids pop on the stereo and have a dance battle. The sleepover reaches gold level and Kelly smiles at his success! (so does Bun Bun) Kelly has officially completed his childhood aspiration!

Pancake Household: Chapter 9, Part 2

Are we hosting a dinner party because we need to increase our charisma level? Why yes we are

CW: Unicorn zombie with minor carton gore

Nicknames: Bob = Sleek, Eliza = Jumble

Onyx: Alright Ginger, are you ready for the best walk of your life

Fergus: I don’t know that she is

Onyx: Well I’ll put on her harness, then she’ll get in the zone. I’m always in the zone when I put on my cheer outfit

Fergus: Remember mother said the dinner party will start at 5

Onyx: And she’ll never let me forget if I’m late, thank Fergus, I’ll set some alarms on my phone

Following his afternoon romp in bed with Eliza, Bob pulls on his robe and heads to the kitchen to start baking. First up, some bread and butter puddings. While they cook he cleans out the fridge when he hears strange sounds coming from the lounge.

Bob: Umm… hello?

Fergus: Sorry dad, just me. We’re meant to practice acting out animals this week

Bob: Right…

As he checks on the puddings he hears Fergus continue to make fake chimp noises mixed with bizarre howling. He’s not sure what animal his son is trying to impersonate but he’s not going to let Fergus know that.

Bob should probably do a livestream to work on his fame but he knows Eliza would kill him if he did a video in his sleepwear. Eliza may like the way he looks when he’s taking care of himself but that doesn’t mean she wants him sharing that with the world. He makes cottage pie and shepherds pie and to be honest once they’re done they look exactly the same.

The walk went well and once back home it’s Ginger time!

Onyx: What trick did we start on last time? Was it shake or lie down?

Ginger: *barks* lie down

Onyx: Give me your paw, shake

Ginger: *barks* nope

Onyx: Lie down Ginger, lie down

Ginger: *barks and lies down* I got this

Onyx: Well done! Another trick learned

Dinner party time! Guests arrive and Carson tries to give me a heart attack by almost having an asthma attack. Ginger has a snooze on her favourite camouflage surface. Everyone heads into the kitchen. There’s only enough seats for the adults though so the teens and Fergus take their servings into the lounge to eat while the parents have time to catch up.

Harvey: This is good! I mean I was expecting some classy nibbly bits

Eliza: My husband serves meals, he’d rather people were full than fancy

Calista: An excellent philosophy

Kayleigh: I don’t suppose you could tell us how you got such a rich taste in this

Bob: Sure. It’ll be on page 42 of my next book

Aaron: Why tell people at all

Eliza: The royalties pay the bills

Harvey: Perhaps but if you tell too many people how will you launch the restaurant

Bob: I’ll figure it out

Artemisia: Your dad always make great food. Fergus you should bring me leftovers for lunch after you age up

Fergus: I’m trying to, I want to get to high school

Onyx: It’s not that fabulous

Carson: You just say that because Mr A doesn’t like us

Onyx: Apparently there’s been a renovation over break, I guess I’m excited to see that

Artemisia: Oh and Fergus you’ll have to meet Roger so you know who to throw paper airplanes at

Onyx: Real mature

Artemisia: May as well use the “I’m young and don’t know what I’m doing” excuse while I can

Fergus: Hey Ginger, want some food?

Ginger: *whines* For me? You shouldn’t have

Artemisia: I can’t believe you’re just throwing food on the floor Fergus

Onyx: You’ve no problem tormenting some kid but you draw the line at food on the floor

Artemisia: *sighs* I don’t torment him and he started it by making fun of my dyslexia

Onyx: So those weeks that you both needed to be collected by parents at home time were because you were too kind to him

Artemisia: It’s because he’s a peacocking coward

Bob: Besides, I haven’t settled on a restaurant theme yet

Kayleigh: But a restaurant is still the plan

Eliza: Eventually. He wants to reach the top of the career ladder first

Calista: Maybe you should work at that level for a while Bob, a restaurant must be a lot of money

Harvey: Just remember it’s cheapest to catch your own fish

Aaron: Why can you bring every topic back to fish

Bob: It’s his secret talent

Kayleigh: Wish it would be a little more secret sometimes

Harvey: When did this become “pick on Harvey” dinner

Eliza: Supply costs will be a big thing to consider though, and location

Calista: Well the bay here seems lovely

Harvey: Plus you get good fishing here

Aaron: Will you offer friend discounts

Eliza: The idea is to make a profit

Calista: Your business experience should be helpful

Bob: She is the perfect partner

Harvey: Smooth

Calista: That dinner was delicious, grazie Bob

Eliza: He’s a pretty perfect partner to, I don’t have to lift a finger in the kitchen

Onyx: Hello mother may I take your plate to clean

Aaron: What are they trying to convince you of now

Eliza: They want a horse, don’t you Onyx?

Onyx: Yes! So I’m showing I can help out, oh and I walked Ginger earlier

Eliza: Well done

Fergus: Do we have time to play some MySims racing before Emi goes home

Bob: I should think so, I made dessert after all

York Household: Chapter 9, Part 5

Deanna and Paris have some time to talk amidst Deanna's university schedule.

The Yorks are Italian so if you see them using words that don't look like English it's Italian, or what google assures me is Italian. Caro/Cara: Dear Buongiorno: Good morning Piccolo: Little one Tesoro: Treasure Nonno: Grandfather Nonna: Grandmother Si: Yes Grazie: Thank you Per Favore: Please Buon Compleanno: Happy Birthday

Post brunch the household do their own activities. Kelly does some more biking around the neighbourhood, loving the feel of flying down the hills, almost able to imagine he’s skiing again. Deanna begins work on her projects. She has one presentation and one term paper to work on, getting both drafted up. Paris goes for another run to try clear her mind.

Following dinner Deanna wants to have a practice run at her presentation. What better sim to ask for tips than Devin? She begins to talk through her work, encouraged by her smiling sister.

Deanna: So, what did you think

Devin: I understood very little, but that’s just because I’m more arts minded than... was this physics?

Deanna: *laughs* don’t worry about the content, I need presenting tips

Devin: Your smile was good but your posture could do with some work. Straight back, head high. Act like you know what you’re talking about even if you have doubts and whoever you’re presenting to will believe you

Deanna: Thanks sis

Devin: Just keep practicing your key points and you’ll sail through it

Paris: Hey De, can we talk

Deanna: Sure baby. What’s on your mind?

Paris: I’m struggling. I don’t know what to do to fill my days

Deanna: You’re creative right? Maybe start making stuff to sell on plopsy

Paris: I guess I could…

Deanna: But that’s not the answer you were looking for

Paris: Not really

Deanna: Paris, I can’t read your mind

Paris: I know and I’m not asking you to

Deanna: If you’re worrying about something then tell me. We’re in a relationship, we’re supposed to be able to communicate

Paris: I don’t think I know who I am and I don’t think you know who I am either

Deanna: What the heck is that supposed to mean

Paris: Well you’re smart. You love robots. You care about you family and your friends. You want to help others, especially if they can’t help themselves. And me… I’m just blonde

Deanna: That’s what you’re worried about

Paris: Yes

Deanna: You have personality baby

Paris: Really? Then what the hell is it? Because I’ve been thinking and I can’t come up with anything except orphan slash girlfriend

Deanna: What’s got in to you

Paris: I want to be a person

Deanna: You are a person

Paris: Not like Devin who is dramatic. And not like Reece who has a passion for nature. I want to figure out who I am

Deanna: I’ll tell you who you are. You are my adorable girlfriend. If you want to figure out more about yourself then start trying things. I didn’t know I loved tinkering until I started doing it

Paris: *sighs* Right. I try new things…

Deanna: And you can always revisit old things you love. Like me… in our bedroom…

Paris: *giggles* After you

The two woohoo and fall asleep. In the morning Paris is first up. Despite having talked to Deanna she still feels unstuck but perhaps that’s a normal post high school feeling.

Paris begins her morning run, doing her best to clear her head. For what must be the millionth time she wishes she had her parents to talk to.

Calista is doing a workout before her shift and notices that the apple tree has finally produced some apples. Perhaps tonight or tomorrow her and Aaron will be able to start properly making nectar.

When Deanna heads out for a run before the university grind begins properly she thinks back on her argument with Paris. Maybe she hadn’t been sensitive enough. She wasn’t trying to dismiss her girlfriends doubts but was concerned it might have come across that way.

Paris: Hey Calista, need any help up here

Calista: I’m running late for work but I have to pick these berries

Paris: I could do that, help out

Calista: Oh grazie, see you later

Paris looks at the garden. Dirt under her fingernails isn’t her first choice but Deanna said she should try.

Deanna: You’re gardening?

Paris: Making myself try new things

Deanna: I didn’t mean… are we okay

Paris: We had woohoo, we’re fine

Deanna: Yeah but it wasn’t like the best we’ve had, it was tense

Paris: Did you come up here just to criticise my woohoo technique

Deanna: No. I wanted to have a proper conversation but I see you’re being childish

Paris: Just following your instructions babe

Deanna: Look, I know I’ve been busy with uni and you probably feel like you’ve been left on your own. That wasn’t my intention. I want you to feel at home

Paris: I know you do. You keep saying it and I am trying to feel it

Deanna: So, can I take you on a date?

Paris: What?

Deanna: I’ve got time and there’s that cute food shop in town. Please, I want to spend time with you

Paris: Sure. Just let me wash this dirt from under my nails first

Deanna: Deal

Deanna: Two scones for me and my girlfriend please

Vendor: Here you go ladies

Paris: This is nice De, you always look after me

Deanna: Happy to do it. I love you after all

Paris: *smiles* Thanks

Deanna: Do you want to brainstorm some more things for you to try?

Paris: Maybe later. I just… want to enjoy being with you

Deanna: You softie

York Household: Chapter 8, Part 6

Time to move in Paris! First up a look at the foster home she's been living in, and it's manager. Then back home Deanna finally finishes the robotics project she's been working on and Paris ages up.

Here we have Ms Gallheizer's Orphanage built by EA ID: Chronicll

Paris: Home sweet hell

Deanna: At least you're finally leaving

Paris: Hopefully everyone will be eating and we can slip in unnoticed

Aaron: We do have to tell the manager you're leaving though, legally speaking

Paris: She'll be thrilled

Deanna: Should we go find her

Paris: We'd better not disturb dinner

Ms G: Where have you been

Paris: I signed out for the afternoon

Ms G: But not the evening. Dinner is at 5:30 sharp and you are late. Again!

Paris: Sorry

Ms G: Don't say sorry, be better girl! You've been here long enough to know

Paris: It won't happen again Ms Gallheizer, because I'm leaving

Ms G: It's not your birthday yet so get upstairs and be glad I kept your dinner portion aside

Paris: I...

Ms G: No smart reply? Of course that would require being smart

Aaron: Perhaps I should introduce myself

Ms G: Why? You a cop?

Ms G: A social worker?

Aaron: Well no-

Ms G: Then you have no authority under my roof

Aaron: I'm a lawyer

Ms G: Sure you are

Aaron: Mr York, prosecutor in Tartosa

Ms G: We're not in Tartosa Mr York

Aaron: Perhaps we should talk in your office, Paris has things to do

Ms G: On that we agree

Deanna: She is exactly like you described, maybe a bit worse

Paris: You think your pa can sort it

Deanna: He can be your legal guardian for a day, no problem, promise

Paris: My room is this way

Deanna: I didn't hear much from the dining room

Paris: No talking allowed at dinner, one of the first rules we learn

Deanna: What a hag

Aaron: Her birthday is only tomorrow, she would have to leave then anyway

Ms G: Be that as it may this is highly irregular. I raise my kids to be independent dependable members of society, not run under their girlfriends skirts

Aaron: You certainly can turn a phrase

Ms G: Paris has no self discipline, give her an inch she will run a mile. How do I know you can provide a suitable environment

Aaron: It's just one day

Calista: Is this the right room

Aaron: This is my wife, Captain York

Ms G: Captain?

Calista: Is there a problem here amore

Aaron: Ms Gallheizer had some doubts about our parental skills

Calista: Did she now

Ms G: Well- Perhaps I jumped the gun

Aaron: So we can take her home

Ms G: Why you would want to is beyond me. But yes, I'll get you the forms

Paris: It's strange, these four walls have been my life for almost a decade

Deanna: No posters

Paris: *shrilly* no damaging the walls

Deanna: *laughs* feel free to coat our walls at home

Paris: Home sounds nice

Deanna: Ready to leave it behind

Paris: Babe, did you notice I already packed

Deanna: *laughs* I did

Kelly: My tooth still isn't out yet

Calista: It'll fall out, don't worry

Kelly: What if I accidentally eat it

Aaron: I did that once, I survived

Calista: Aaron! Chin up caro, you'll be okay

After dinner Kelly mopes to mantis for a while before deciding to just pull it out. Success! Evil laugh!

Paris gets her stuff moved in and Deanna welcomes her with a celebratory pillow fight.

Paris: Your pillows are so poofy

Deanna: All the better to hit you with

Paris: Oh two can play at that game babe

Deanna: I hope you enjoy losing

Paris: In your dreams. En garde!

In the end Paris concedes the fight. She does a quick bit of study for her exams tomorrow then happily climbs in to bed beside her favourite person.

Paris woke up early from a horrible nightmare so decides to polish off her homework until Deanna wakes up.

Deanna: Happy birthday baby

Paris: Thanks. I'm not looking forward to these exams, thank the watcher they're my last

Deanna: You'll be great

Paris: I average a c miss valedictorian but thanks

Deanna: And Joey helped me make you a cake

Paris: I don't suppose I could just age up now

Deanna: No way, you go crush those exams, then come home. We'll celebrate then baby

Paris: Okay, last day of high school, here I go!

Calista had another awful nightmare so works out early to try chase the scare away. She reaches level 10 fitness and discovers she is a perfectionist. I might need to make the skill gain even slower than it already is at this rate! Deanna finally finishes... whatever the heck this thing is.

Pictures of the quadcopter doing quad-copter things

To my complete surprise, but not Deanna's, Paris absolutely aced her final exams! It's finally age up time for her and as she makes a wish Deanna cheers her on. Deanna did a cute little song as well. Paris rolls Creative as her third trait which compliments her cuisine hobby that she rolled earlier.

Deanna: Want to go on a date

Paris: With you? Absolutely babe

Deanna: I'm thinking, beachside

Paris: Sounds perfect

The two head to central Tartosa and take some time to soak in the romantic atmosphere.

Paris: It's so lovely here, and no snow

Deanna: Snow can be good for snuggling

Paris: Maybe so

Paris: But we don't need snow to snuggle

Deanna: I love you baby

Paris: Right back at you babe

They share a kiss and a cuddle

Paris: That sunset is stunning

Deanna: You're stunning

Paris: De, we're in public

Deanna: What do you want to do then

Paris: Play in a g rated way, come on

Deanna: I haven't built a sandcastle in ages

Paris: I won't hold it against you. I've always loved making them. My parents...

Deanna: Did they help

Paris: Yeah, we made them as a family. Once we made one as big as me. I wasn't a tall toddler but still

Deanna: Do you have any photos

Paris: A couple

Paris: Photos of my parents that is, not the sandcastles. They only exist in my memory now

Deanna: I think we did a pretty good job with this one, a castle for my princess

Paris: You're sweet

Deanna: Sometimes

Paris: All times De, I know it

Deanna: And you're happy, with us?

Paris: I am babe

And this chapter wraps up back home with everyone in their right beds. I had to take some shots of the house again as I love property pictures, and sleeping pictures, to bookend my chapters.

York Household: Chapter 8, Part 4

Time for my first in game high school graduation! Time to find out if it's worth it or everything just glitches to infinity and beyond. Deanna attempts to get a tan and Kelly spends time avoiding homework.

Snowball fight, check. Snowpals, check. Snow angels, check. Ice Skating, check. While Calista has high fitness skill Aaron has spent more time skating so can practice tricks out on the ice.

More of Aaron skating circles around the rest of the family.

Back home Kelly decided to warm up by riding his bike around. He seems to be turning in to a bit of a daredevil. Meanwhile Deanna got on to practicing her valedictorian speech

Deanna: We know why we have all come today... no. We know why we have spawned for... no. I am delighted to... Urgh

Aaron: I talked to her

Calista: And

Aaron: She wants to give Paris a home. I mean how can we disapprove of that without being in the wrong

Calista: I suppose. But amore what if-

Aaron: If anything goes wrong, we'll be right here to help. She told me we have to give her the room to make mistakes

Calista: I'll try not to worry I guess. Paris is a sweet girl, it’s not as if she’s a bad influence

Aaron: It's not like she's going to get her pregnant either

Graduation time! I think in future I'll see if I can play this separately to what appears on the calendar because... yeah things did not go smoothly, and the sims I wanted there didn't show up. Deanna got a moodlet for epic speech but the rest of the family had a boring speech moodlet...

Paris jumped on the stage, this should probably not be allowed... Kelly had fun finding some random background sims to terrorise. The other students who officially "graduated" all went before Deanna, but I suppose it could have been alphabetical. I tried to get her done first but no luck.

Paris: How did you know you were ready to move in with Samir

Reece: I didn't

Paris: Some genius

Reece: I just mean, he loves me and needs me there so it was really a no brainer

Paris: Well I do love Deanna, and I know she loves me...

Reece: So you're hesitating because why

Paris: It's tricky

Reece: This third party observer thinks you two are cute together

Paris: Oh we are absolutely cute together, that's not in question

Reece: Then what is in question

Paris: I guess I just don't know if I'm ready to start forever

Reece: Meaning

Paris: If I move in then we could be together like forever

Reece: And that's not a good thing?

Paris: I worry, do I even know who I am outside of being with Deanna

Reece: You seem young for an identity crisis

Paris: Maybe. I do want forever, a big house filled with grandkids, true love. But how can I know it's true you know

Reece: Talk to her about it, you need to be able to communicate

Paris: You're right. Maybe you're a partial genius

After a billion zillion years Deanna finally is called to get her diploma. Why are we high-tening the principal holding our diploma? Do you want it to get crumpled??? And of course the standard cap throw.

Middle of the night and Kelly wakes up with an evil smile. he hops out of bed and declares he's entering a picky eater phase. Mantis says, bloody hell dramatic much dude.

Deanna has an early morning jog while Kelly tries salad.

Kelly: What the duck is this

Aaron: Kelly!

Kelly: Why is there oil in this ship

Aaron: Watch your language. It's called dressing

Kelly: Well it tastes like poop

Aaron: Lot of experience with that huh

Kelly: Shut up pa

Aaron: Kelly! Timeout!

Aaron needs to use an archive for his work today so he and Deanna head to the recreation centre in Tartosa for the first time. I really tried with the lighting when I built it, but despite no lights being anywhere near Deanna her skin still lights up while Aaron looks normal.

Tamika: The hell are you doing

Deanna: Trying to get a tan

Tamika: With no clothes on

Deanna: It's not like kids are out of school

Tamika: You're doolally

Deanna: We can't all be born with the perfect shade of skin like you

Tamika: It is totally perfect

Deanna: Just be lookout a little bit

Tamika: That high confidence you have is ridiculous

Deanna: It's not like anyone will take pictures, we'll be fine

Tamika: What if your pa sees

Deanna: He doesn't see anything when he's working

Tamika: What if the bartender looks

Deanna: I'm sure she's seen crazier stuff in her line of work

Back home a freshly tanned Deanna hangs out the washing. I love how it actually gave her a reddish shade as if her pale self did actually get somewhat burnt. She takes time to test Gerald, second of his name. He doesn't say anything interesting this time.

Kelly once again neglects his homework and school project, choosing instead to calls his friends, play with toys, and bike around the place. Deanna tries to build some parts and despite reaching level 2 robotics, still hits her head with the hammer.

Poor Calista woke up in the middle of the night having had a bad dream. Then after managing to get back to sleep, she has another, resulting in being very scared. She tries online therapy while Kelly takes the opportunity to have what he wants for breakfast, cupcakes over salad.

Community centre time again. Deanna meets up with Noe this time to have a kick about. Aaron is meant to meet prospective clients but runs into best mate Harvey instead. How come sims bond well when playing soccer, even if they get hit in the face, but football practice is so destructive? Make it make sense EA

Paris: Hey babe, got time for a movie

Deanna: I fried myself earlier so yes

Paris: You did what?

Deanna: It was a minor electrical shock, so long as I don't tinker for the rest of the day I'll be fine

Paris: You have to take better care of yourself

Deanna: Isn't that your job

Paris: True

Aaron: We've got to talk about this picky eater phase

Kelly: I said I was sorry for snapping at you over salad

Aaron: You didn't actually

Kelly: That you heard. I don't want to talk now

Aaron: Kelly, sit back down and listen

Kelly: Why

Aaron: Do you want to be grounded and not have friends over

Kelly: This is stupid

Aaron: I hear you neglected your school project, again

Kelly: It was boring

Aaron: How do you know if you didn't try

Kelly: I just do

Aaron: Well you can sit here and "just do" your homework

Kelly: Or what

Aaron: Or no friends over

Kelly: Fine. But a B isn't a failure pa

Kelly: You know how I'm your favourite

Anya: Are you trying to get me to kill you, I said keep it to yourself

Kelly: Want to swap friendship bracelets? We can be bracelet buddies forever

Anya: Fine but only cause you're desperate

Kelly: Boom! Swapped!

Anya: Up top bracelet buddy

Calista has a day working from home and has to give an inspirational speech. Who stops by but an as normal irate Ava (Tamika's mum, Noe's step-mum). I'm sure we're bound to fail but Calista pulls it off and gets Ava smiling.

York Household: Chapter 8, Part 3

Slumber Party Animal dreaming Kelly is ready for his sleepover. Calista and Aaron discuss how to ensure Deanna keeps honing her smarts, and what to do about Deanna's plans to move in Paris.

Here's a quick key as to which kid is which. First 5 were all born in game either to my sims or others. Atlas of course came with Growing Together.

Kelly: Thanks for coming

Anya: Between us, you're my favourite, but don't tell the others, seriously

Kelly: I've never been anyone's favourite though

Anya: Don't make me regret it

Fergus: Are we watching a movie or what

Drake: We can't pick

Kelly: My house, I pick

Chasity: Do any have subtitles

Drake: EA doesn't have that much inclusion. But you're not completely deaf right

Chasity: It's mild loss, tv audio can be tricky

Kelly: Would going straight to stories be easier

Chasity: I don't want to put anyone out

Kelly: Too late, I have decided it's storytime. Anyone complaining, complain to me

(Kelly may be evil but he's learning how to make people like him)

Calista: Just like that, our third one is grown

Aaron: I knew one of them had to get valedictorian

Calista: You taught them a proper work ethic

Aaron: I just hope she chooses her degree sensibly

Calista: Me to, but I'm sure we can help

Aaron: I don't want her frittering her YA years away

Calista: Then make sure she knows we expect her to go to university

Aaron: I had hoped the robotics station would be signal enough

Calista: But if we leave it she may just make robots forever, and not get any higher education

Aaron: I'll make sure we're all on the same page then

Kelly: It was a dark and stormy night when the school bus crashed in the middle of the desert. Bodies and metal went everywhere, but 4 kids survived. They collected what they could and set out in to the night

Atlas: Why not stay with the bus

Kelly: Because they were idiots Atlas. As I was saying, they left

Atlas: Absolute idiots

Kelly: They walked until they couldn't walk anymore and had to rest. The only shelter they could find was a series of rock shelves surrounded by strange plants. Part cactus, part something else

Chasity: What's the something else

Kelly: The kids didn't know so they settled down to sleep

Joey: BAM

The kids squeal at the surprise

Kelly: Jerk! What are you doing

Joey: You invited me

Kelly: I did not!

Joey: You told me you were having a sleepover, the invitation was implied

Atlas: Do you know the story

Joey: Who do you think told him?

Kelly: Let me tell it!

Joey: Fine but tell it right

Fergus: So the kids went to sleep, right Kelly?

Kelly: Not for long. Soon they were woken by an eerie whispering

Drake: How does a whisper wake you up

Kelly: Because it came with a cold wind okay

Anya: Hush Drake, just let him talk

Kelly: The kids were awake, and the whispering grew louder! Join us, it said

Drake: Who said?

Chasity: The voice obviously. Have you never heard a scary story before Drake?

Kelly: Join us and join mother, the voice said. The kids were properly freaked out and huddled together. It was then they realised, thre was only THREE of them

Fergus: Wait where did 4th go

Kelly: The kids wondered this. One wanted to go look but the others were too scared

Anya: Did they go look

Kelly: One did. She wandered out among the dunes chasing the voice. Several times she thought it was just in front of her, sometimes she could feel it whisper in her ear. She looked all night but never found the voice. When she returned to camp the others were DEAD

Joey: Really?

Kelly: Shut up Joey! Scrawled on the ground in the blood were the same words, join us, join mother. The one surviving kid suddenly realised the voice wasn't ahead or behind her. It was INSIDE THEIR HEAD! Then, she exploded!

Fergus: So much blood *shudders*

Joey: You lot should sleep now

Anya: But the voice...

Joey: When I told it there was less blood

Kelly: So more boring

Drake: But what was the voice

Kelly: No one knows. Remember, no one survived

Chasity: I hope I can't hear the voice

Fergus: It'll be easier for it to get you if you can't

Chasity: Stop pranking me!

Kelly: Joey leave already

Time for a game of, everyone PLEASE go to sleep where I want you to. To my shock it didn't take too long before all 10 sims are sleeping soundly right where I want them.

Aaron is up early for a jog. Everyone else wakes in their own time and Calista sets about making breakfast for all the kids.

Calista: French toast is served everyone

Fergus: Hooray for food

Paris: Is there enough for me

Calista: Of course dear. Did you have a good sleep

Paris: I did, thanks

Kelly: Is Deanna still lazing in bed

Paris: Oh no, she's already up and on that robotics bench

Calista: I'm glad she's making use of it, her pa will be so pleased

Paris: He's really in to further study huh

Calista: He dreams of all the kids getting degrees really, he's always pushed them to work

Calista: I'm sure your parents would have wanted you to attend university to

Paris: I don't know, maybe. Further study seems daunting

Calista: Only daunting until you try it

Paris: So if I move in will Aaron expect me to go to university

Calista: I... Hmm

Paris: Because that's quite a condition

Kelly: Are you moving in with us

Paris: Deanna offered but I've not made my mind up

Atlas: I'd hate to stay in the foster home, you hear the worst stories

Calista: Yes...

Paris: Speaking of, I better get back. Thank you for having me Calista

Calista: Yes...

Kelly: Never come again

Paris: Whatever

Calista is cleaning up when the Pancakes arrive to pick up Fergus.

Eliza: So glad we didn't have to host that

Calista: Kelly managed to get gold somehow

Bob: Then why do you look tense

Calista: It seems my daughter invited her girlfriend to move in without telling us

Eliza: Do you not like her

Calista: She is nice but they're both so young

Aaron: Who are we talking about

Calista: Deanna invited Paris to move in

Aaron: She did not. Well it's not happening

Calista: I don't think putting our foot down is the right answer

Aaron: She's too young to have a live in, plus she has study to do. I'll tell her if you don't want to, I don't mind being the bad guy

Calista: She'll bring up Devin flatting with Luna

Aaron: But there was a whole group of them together, not just two. Deanna needs to study, meet her potential

Bob: Does she want to

Aaron: She's valedictorian Bob, she's going to

...

Deanna: What are you doing

Kelly: Imagining gore with bun bun

Deanna: That's a choice?

Snow day! To Willow Creek park we go. Snowball fight time, or rather, everyone throws snowballs at poor Deanna time.

With the building of snowpals Aaron takes the opportunity to talk with Deanna.

Aaron: Paris told your ma that she was thinking of moving in

Deanna: That's good

Aaron: Is it

Deanna: Isn't it? She has to be out of that foster home at 18. Pa she has no family left. I want to bring her in to ours

Aaron: Honeybug, your heart is in the right place but 18 is very young to commit yourself to another person

Deanna: I wasn't proposing marriage pa, just sharing a home

Aaron: Yes but you have your studies to consider

Deanna: Devin studied and lived with Luna. Does she get a special exception just because she's the eldest

Aaron: No but they lived with 3, 4 other people

Deanna: You, ma and Kelly are 3 other people

Aaron: I'm meant to be the lawyer

Deanna: Are you saying she can't move in

Aaron: We wouldn't say that, those rooms are yours. But please consider your relationship carefully. Life is long and sometimes, love can be short

Deanna: Not for you and ma

Aaron: No, not for us

Deanna: So trust me to take the right kind of risks. I'm going to make mistakes now and then, but who doesn't. I'm not so afraid of it going south that I won't try

York Household: Chapter 8, Part 2

Let's see, we were mid birthday party. Lots of sims are tagged in this one as family and friends are here! Aaron and Calista put some time in as nonno and nonna, Deanna enjoys time with friends and Kelly's long awaited sleepover begins!

Back to the party!

Deanna: Who wants cake

Samir: Me

Paris: Make sure you breathe there bud

Reece: You looking forward to your birthday tomorrow

Noe: Not really. I mean what will even change

Deanna: Your personality will grow

Noe: Nerd answer

Paris: Hey now you might be a nerd tomorrow

Calista: Want to grab some cake, we can hold the boys

Devin: That'd be great, thanks ma. Now Alfred you remember your nonna don't you

Alfred: *giggles*

Luna: Here's Rilian

Aaron: Got him

Luna: You're okay with nonno

Rilian: *whimpers*

Aaron: You've got to be kidding me, what's his problem

Rilian looks at Luna with utter betrayal written all over his face as she heads for cake

Calista: Aaron! He's just an infant

Aaron: He clearly doesn't like me

Calista: Devin said he's cautious

Aaron: Cautious? You mean coddled

Rilian: *whines*

Aaron: Ugh he's doing it again

Calista: Try be positive Aaron

Aaron: I'm positive he's coddled

Devin: Try feeding him pa, that generally settles him

Calista: Alfred doesn't seem to be hungry

Luna: He's sensitive. He probably doesn't trust a different bottle

Aaron: Now Rilian, if you stop whining you can have some milk, how about that

Rilian: *pouts quietly*

Paris: I can't believe I'm dating a valedictorian

Samir: Why not

Paris: Dude, I'm not like, the most academically together person

Samir: You put yourself down

Paris: It's a socially awkward thing

Samir: I don't get people

...

Noe: Maybe you'll get to be socially awkward tomorrow

Tamika: Shut up Noe

Samir: Same birthday?

Tamika: Yeah we share it

Samir: Not twins?

Reece: Step siblings, completely different parents

Tamika: Except we basically have the same mum and dad now

Joey: Spliced families sound complex

Deanna: Could you sound any more insensitive

Joey: Hey, I didn't say they sounded bad

Aaron: Were you just full of hot air

Calista: Okay, come on, give him to me

She hands Alfred off to Devin

Aaron: Thank the watcher

Calista: Hey, they could understand you know

Aaron: Could they

Devin: They are babbling

Calista: Now I'll take this caro and you try to be a good nonno to Alfred

Devin: Now Alfred, show nonno your smile

Aaron: Hey, this one seems to like me, he is clearly the better twin

Calista: Oh don't mind him Rilian, you're just as perfect aren't you

Devin: Pa just has high expectations, feel free to ignore them

Aaron: I heard that

Devin: That was the point pa, be nice

Joey: I probably would have been valedictorian first

Deanna: How do you figure that genius

Joey: Hello, I graduated early

Luna: Do you have a speech plan

Deanna: Speech plan

Joey: For your speech

Deanna: I have to do a speech

Paris: Do a fun one

Reece: Do a dumb one

Tamika: I hope we spawn properly

Joey: It's pretty lucky you actually get a graduation ceremony if you think about it

Paris: Why

Joey: Rotations

Deanna: Just nod and pretend we understand before he starts explaining

Samir: You don't believe in the watcher

Deanna: More like no one believes as much as Joey does, well, maybe Devin

Kelly: Joey! I get to have my sleepover tonight

Joey: Oh yeah?

Kelly: I'm so excited

Joey: Clearly if you've decided to hug me all by yourself. Wait, you haven't put a sign on my back have you

Kelly: I don't think we can do that, but I know my next wanted prank now

Joey: Watcher save us

And entering the category for most helpful grandparents are Aaron and Calista. Well, Calista definitely is having headed inside to give Rilian a nap. Aaron meanwhile thinks Alfred will be fine learning to sleep amid party ruckus. To my surprise, both nod off, despite the party and TV noise.

With the party over the extended family head home leaving Deanna and her friends to chill on her own patio. Calista goes back to speech practicing and excuse me what is this face??? Aaron begins cooking for the sleepover crew and Kelly tidies up so his friends don't think he lives in a dump.

Reece: But you are going to do the speech right

Deanna: Yes?

Samir: I wouldn't

Tamika: You wouldn't say boo to a goose

Deanna: I just... don't even know where to start

Paris: Oh babe, you'll think of something

Deanna: By tomorrow? It's not much notice

Reece: I take it back, don't do a dumb one

Noe: For a genius you don't give much good advice

Reece: Shut up

Tamika: Perhaps it's all a facade

Samir: He IS a genius

Paris: De is smart to, even if she isn't categorised as a genius, I think of her as one

Deanna: Aww baby

Paris: You'll come up with a kick ass speech, I know you will

Reece: In all seriousness, if you're stressing I'll happily proofread

Deanna: Thanks. I may send something at like 2am though

Reece: I'm getting up early tomorrow for Snow Day anyway

Noe: That's tomorrow?

Tamika: It's going to be more busy than I realised

Deanna: I love making snowpals

With the conversation winding down most of Deanna's friends head home

Deanna: You don't have to go, do you

Paris: I may have told the manager I was having another sleepover

Deanna: I don't think we can have an official one if Kelly is, but we can always have an unofficial one

Paris: What's this

Deanna: A key

Paris: Like, a real key

Deanna: To my new front door

Paris: Are you asking me to move in

Deanna: Not yet but also maybe? I know you have to leave the home when you turn 18. I want you to know you can always stay here, if that's something you want of course

Paris: Let me think

Paris pulls Deanna into a loving kiss.

Paris: I will think about it

Deanna: I don't want to like, take away your independence or anything, promise

Paris: I know we're young but... I do love you

Deanna: And I love you

Paris smiles and blows a kiss

Paris: I had a feeling you did babe

Kelly: Smile bunbun, you'll get used to the house. Ah ha, you look better already. Ma do you think bunbun is sentient

Calista: Do I think what

Kelly: Well his face changes

Calista: Does it

Kelly: If you bother to look

Calista: I'm knitting Kelly, it requires some focus

Kelly: But I can draw and talk

Paris: This place is tiny but cute

Deanna: Sounds like you

Paris: Flatterer. Come on give me your speech

Deanna: I really have nothing

Paris thinks and pulls a cheeky smile

Paris: Maybe you just need some... inspiration. Care to follow me and mess around

Deanna: You sure

Paris: *laughs* Beyond sure babe

Calista: Come on kids, dinner time

Drake: No pizza

Kelly: Pizza is yuck

Atlas: You really are evil

Aaron: Everyone got a plate

Chasity: Yes Mr York

Fergus: My dad would approve of proper food

Aaron: That's because he's sensible

Anya: Come on Fergus, I want a good seat

Chasity: Wait for me

Atlas: Did you lose your plate between here and the kitchen

Fergus: Maybe

Chasity: Your loss, this is good

Aaron: You have such good manners

Kelly pokes his tongue out at her

Calista: Kelly, you wanted friends over, you behave

Drake: So what are we doing

Kelly: Maybe a movie but definitely stories!

Paris: Feeling inspired

Deanna: Inspired to cook salad

Paris: You don't cook salad

Deanna: ...maybe YOU don't

Paris: *giggles* I can't believe they got you a whole robotics station

Deanna: They want to encourage my hobby I guess

Paris: Will we get more Geralds?

Deanna: Gerald will get decedents

York Household: Chapter 8, Part 1

Having made their Willow Creek neighbourhood clean and green, Aaron and Calista are ready to move. The family head to Tartosa and celebrate Deanna's birthday.

A wintery good morning from the snow dusted Yorks

Kelly: I'm freezing

Deanna: Then change pjs

Kelly: You don't tell me what to do. Besides, I'm hungry

Deanna: That's all you have to say

Kelly: What else is there

Deanna: How about happy birthday my favourite sibling

Kelly: No. Just no. To all of it

Calista: Good morning Kelly. Happy birthday Deanna

Deanna: Thanks ma. Wait, something...

Kelly: Who stole all our photos

Aaron: They haven't been stolen. They're in personal inventories

Deanna: But why

Calista: Your pa and I have been talking-

Kelly: You're getting divorced!

Deanna: They aren't!

Deanna: You're not getting divorced, right

Calista: No honeybug

Aaron: We were thinking about our younger years, when we traveled all over

Kelly: When you were unburdened by my awful siblings

Deanna: You exist to

Kelly: But do I

Calista: You know our families haven't always been in Windenburg

Kelly: We're Italian

Deanna: She means Monte Vista gremlin

Aaron: We've been missing the hills and the coast so... we're moving to Tartosa

Overcome with excitement Calista sweeps Aaron off his feet

Kelly: Excuse me I'm trying to eat

Aaron: We're just making sure you know we're not divorcing

Kelly: *gags*

Deanna: When

Calista: After breakfast

Kids: WHAT

Kelly: You can't be serious! I was meant to have a sleepover tonight

Aaron: There will be more room there

Kelly: And my best friend lives across the road here. Who will I pull pranks with there

Calista: Loading screens allow cross world travel

Deanna: Cheer up goblin. You still had to go through a loading screen to cross the road

Kelly: So you're okay with no birthday party

Deanna: I'm sorry what now

Aaron: Let's not jump to conclusions

Deanna: But I'll have a party right? I only turn into a YA once and I cannot miss that cake

Calista: People will know where to find us

Deanna: How

Aaron: It'll be fine

Kelly: We'll probably get stuck and glitch forever

Deanna: Maybe we shouldn't risk it

Calista: It has a separate small set of rooms for you

Deanna: Fine. I guess I can be persuaded

Kelly: This is a bad idea

Calista: Too bad

So we leave the deep snows of Willow Creek and head to the coastal town of Tartosa. To me it seemed the most Italian place on offer at the moment, and I need to reduce how many of my households live in Willow Creek. I built it as I really wanted the separate rooms on the property for Deanna so please excuse the rectangles everywhere.

Deanna's party isn't until midday so the family have the morning to themselves. After a quick shower Calista launches into practicing her speech for her next work shift. Aaron checks out his office then heads downstairs. Deanna sets out for a run and Kelly plays happily in the bath.

With Calista having plenty of out of hours work for her military career the cooking often falls to Aaron. Today he has to make sure we have a cake ready for Deanna. He bustles about the kitchen and produces a quality cake while maxing out his cooking skill! Well done buddy.

As Deanna jogs around the town she contemplates what it will mean to age up into a YA. Clearly it won't mean leaving home since they've just moved somewhere with a space just for her. What trait will she spin? And why did they have to live somewhere that meant each jog would end in running up a hill.

Kelly leans in to bike down the hill at breakneck speed. Yep, totally safe. He's looking forward to finally getting his sleepover tonight. It's only been his aspiration his whole childhood, stupid prom interference. He hopes his parents will let him have lots of his friends over.

Feeling confident Calista sets off for a jog herself as the welcome wagon arrives. That's it Calista, run away fast! The first sim goes to ring and-

ZAP

Electricity courses from the doorbell through the sim, lifting them off the ground. Far away Kelly is contemplating if there's anything to steal.

Deanna: I am so sorry about that. It must have got damaged in the move. I'll just fiddle

Melanie: Should you

Aaron: Don't worry, she loves tinkering.

Melanie: We're your new neighbours

Aaron: And you came to say hello? That's very... friendly. Come on through to the patio then you two

Aaron: You know, you look familiar

Melanie: My husband’s an actor

Aaron: That's it! You stared in Melodies in the Rain with our Devin. Your dark hair threw me

Connor: I knew they shouldn't have made me blonde

Aaron: I suppose it's good not to be swarmed by paparazzi though

Melanie: He wouldn't mind

Aaron: Devin doesn't mind either, I don't know how you actors do it

Connor: Unfortunately hair and makeup often make me look quite different on screen

Melanie: And this one time he had to be an alien

Connor: The suit was impossible

Aaron: Devin's said the critters suits are pretty tough as well

Kelly makes it back before the party starts and Deanna takes a final teen selfie

Aaron: Amore, come meet our neighbours, Connor is actually a coworker of Devin's

Calista: Gosh it is a small world

Melanie: Tell me about it

Calista: Devin should be here soon

Connor: We won't crash your family party

Deanna: Still feels weird to be watched by everyone

Paris: Come on babe, make a wish

Tamika: Hold on, I need to get the angle right if we're putting this on social bunny

Joey: Confetti cannons? I want a confetti cannon

Deanna: It's not your birthday

Joey: For me to use De

Deanna: Oh, right

Several of the family pull horns out of nowhere to celebrate as well. Then the group of Deanna's family and high school friends sing happy birthday to her. Paris is very enthusiastic about this part.

If we pan down we can see Deanna's two nephews have been invited as well. Alfred seems happy enough but Rilian wants to go home RIGHT NOW. I see some of the household want to watch Alfred reach a milestone. I can't be sure as I'm not controlling him but I think it's his first lot of clapping!

Back at eye height Deanna has aged up! She rolled the family-oriented trait *sighs in relief* also, drum roll please, she is the first VALEDICTORIAN in this save! Go Deanna! Updated family photo for the Yorks. No, I still don't know why Deanna got such pale skin compared to the rest of her family.

Deanna has also decided to have a spell of wearing glasses rather than fussing with contacts every day. Time for a quick photo with her friends, whether they want it or not *coughs* Samir *coughs*

Villareal Household: Chapter 4, Part 2

More Villareal drama, Devin is an actress after all. The newborns are home but things start to get rocky for Luna when she has trouble producing milk. Devin does her best to be supportive and their families visit for Harvestfest. At the end the boys become infants.

Context: The magic of game code allowed my two female sims to have biological twins. Again gameplay in this part would not be possible without the Child Birth Mod by PandaSama, specifically the lactation for Luna.

Saturday evening and we're all back home. Rilian is in the left bassinet in a blue onesie. Alfred is on the right in a green onesie. Both were lovingly knitted by nonna Calista. The skintones are throwing me off a bit, they don't seem to match either parent. Hopefully this changes on age up.

Luna's milk production doesn't seem to have started yet so she takes a cookie meant to help lactation before her nap. Devin finishes her nap and is delighted to find it wasn't all a dream, her sons are here. She calls Callista to tell her, and confirm they will still host Harvestfest tomorrow

Devin: I hope I didn't wake you

Luna: I needed to eat, why is my milk not coming in?

Devin: Amore every woman is different

Luna: I'll try pumping, hopefully I'll get something

Devin: Well hello Rilian. Come here, mama will feed you some nice formula while mummy works on her milk

Luna: *sighs sadly*

Devin: Hi there Alfred. Do you want some yummy formula huh

Luna: Nothing from that one, I'll try the other side

Devin: We can have formula in the meantime, can't we boys

Rilian: *wails*

Luna: It's my fault, he's hungry

Devin: Lu I just fed him, he can't be hungry

Luna: *sadly* mummy is trying

Luna: I don't know what I'm doing wrong

Devin: You're not doing anything wrong, Rilian just inherited my drama skills

Luna: I feel bad

Devin: Lu they'll survive if you can't produce milk

Luna: But they said breast is best

Devin: They also said leeches were an infallible cure

Luna: How do you know that word

Devin: TV

Luna: I'll have another cookie and try again

Devin: Just remember, they wouldn't make baby formula if it wasn't safe for babies to have

Luna tries again. She doesn't mind having a small chest but worries that's part of the problem with her milk supply.

Luna: SCHATZ! I got some

Devin: Well done Lu

Rilian: *Wails*

Devin: OMW I know you're not hungry yet

Luna: I'll give him some cuddles. Hey buddy, mummy is here

Rilian: *sniffs*

Luna: Next feed you'll have real milk, I promise. And so will you Alfred

Alfred: *blinks*

Luna: They're so perfect

And far too soon

Rilian: *wails*

Devin: Yep, you're hungry, got it

Luna: I'll try get some more milk

Devin: Are you sure you don't want to feed them

Luna: You do it, I need to try get our stock up

Devin: Lu you're not failing as a mum if you can't get breast milk

Luna: I wish it felt like that

Devin: How can I help

Luna: Keep buying the cookies

Devin: Lu-

Luna: I just want to try for a bit longer, please

Devin: You're the boss of your body, but they'll love you whether you're feeding them milk or formula, I promise

Luna scoops up each boy before heading back to bed, waiting on her milk.

Harvestfest is here! When Devin wakes up Luna is already busy trying to pump so she decides to take care of the morning chores. Sleep seems to have done Luna good and she's able to get two bottles ready for when her sons wake up.

After appeasing a gnome Devin thinks she can fit in a run before the boys wake up. Like normal she streams it to keep her fame up.

Paparazzi: Mrs Villareal! How are your babies? Can you confirm names

Devin: Good morning Ali. No comment

Ali: Understood

Devin: Have a good Harvestfest Ali

Ali: You to

Luna appeases the other gnomes and gets stuck into her gardening. She enjoys looking after the plants, especially her flowers harvested from the romance festival. It's so much easier to weed now that she doesn't have a bowling ball belly. Hopefully the gnomes will bring new seeds.

Luna tells Devin she's happy gardening so Devin does the next feed.

Devin: Can you taste a difference Alfred? Mummy worked extra hard on this for you

Rilian: *wails*

Devin: Yes she got some for you to caro

After a few extra cuddles Devin goes to practice the lines for her next gig tomorrow night.

Luna: Three, four- how many do we need

Devin: Uh my parents, my siblings, Deanna will probably bring Paris, your brothers, and your sister in law, oh and us, 11, may as well do the whole table

Rilian: *wails*

Luna: Sounds like a, change me now cry, I got him

*Doorbell*

Devin: I'll get that

Devin: Come and eat! Joey made this meal for us earlier

Joey: Because I'm the best brother

Kelly: And you wonder why I'm evil

Aaron: Where's Luna

Devin: Diaper emergency

Calista: I remember those

Paris: How are the- bambinos? Is that the right word

Deanna: *nods*

Devin: They're so small but lovely

Luna: They have Devin's eyes

Aaron: The hero returns

Joey: I knew you could push them out

Devin: She was amazing, it was such hard work

Hugo: Hard work sounds like my sister

Luna: I've missed you

Hugo: Sorry, work's hectic

Luna: Where's Max

Hugo: Where do you think, eating inside with Miriam

Hugo: Anything you need me to do

Luna: Can you produce milk

Hugo: Nope

Calista: Are you having trouble

Luna: I shouldn't complain really

Aaron: You should complain. When we had our kids I always told Calista-

Calista: Tell me everything even if I can't help

Hugo: I'll take these dishes

Luna: Thanks

Luna: I only get milk about half the time

Calista: Don't believe those blogger mums, substituting with formula is fine

Aaron: Joey got mostly formula

Joey: And I'm a genius remember

Luna: Think you'll have kids Miriam?

Miriam: Why would I want to be pregnant, looks shit

Devin: Ma, pa, you ready

Calista: We're coming

Devin: This is Alfred, he was born first. Alfred this is your nonna

Calista: Hello bambino

Luna: Then we have Rilian. Rilian this is your nonno

Aaron: Deanna and Kelly are pretty pale but these two might have them beat

Luna: We'll see when they're infants

Once everyone has left it's time. Luna and Devin get in position and manage to start the age up on the boys at the same time. Will I ever get sick of this animation? No, no I will not.

They're looking pretty identical. Quick makeover. Alfred is on the left. Since he had a green shirt on, green is his first favourite colour. He'll also have green socks for identification. Rilian had a yellow shirt so yellow will be his colour. He has blue socks for identification.

Alfred rolled the sensitive trait while Rilian rolled the cautious trait. Both boys have already unlocked their first smile milestone, smiling at their parents as soon as they aged up. First things first, some tummy time. The boys have to learn how to work their necks.

Alfred: *cries*

Devin: I feel so bad

Luna: Please stop crying boys

Devin: Mama is right here caro

Rilian: *lifts head*

Luna: Well done baby

Devin: Did you hear that Alfred. Don't you want to learn like your brother

Alfred: *lifts head*

Devin: Thank you, see you survived

Luna: We better get them down

Rilian sleeps easy enough but he gets sad about being put down. Turns out he has the Loves Being Held quirk. Alfred has more trouble. He has the Gassy quirk which makes his poor tummy sore. He also has the Frequently Hiccups quirk. Luckily Devin soothes him to sleep and kisses Rilian goodnight.

New Goth Household: Chapter 2, Part 6

Part of what I love about rotational play is my sims being able to visit family that I'm not having to control. Keira is close with her family, Joey's sister Devin is one of his best friends and with Alexander's parents gone he has to make new family. Since I couldn't keep to my normal limit I decided to throw caution to the wind and let families catch up.

Keira: How was your shift

Marta: People always need coffee, how was class

Keira: So so. Are you ready for a challenge

Marta: What kind of challenge

Keira: Mum text me to come visit and I thought you might like to come

Marta: To meet your parents

Keira: Parents, siblings, sister-in-law

Marta: Why not

Sulani, the place where autumn and winter are relative.

Keira: Anyone home? I brought cookies

Carson: Cookies?

Reece: They smell good

Kayleigh: Are you going to introduce us to this wonderful lady you've brought with you

Marta: Gracias

Keira: Right well... Mum, dad, everyone... This is Marta, my girlfriend

Kayleigh: How long have you been seeing each other

Keira: I wasn't keeping her secret or anything, I've just been busy with university

Kayleigh: Remember, university is not the most important thing you can do in life

Keira: I know mum, I know

Marta: I asked her to be my girlfriend recently

Harvey: A woman who takes the initiative, we can always use more of those

Keira: But we actually met back when I started university, or close to that

Marta: Just before your first exams

Keira: So it's not as if we've just met

Reece: Why would we care if you just met

Keira: We're actually living together

Charlie: No kidding. Congratulations Marta, you landed a good one with my sister

Reece: Some sims have all the luck

Marta: You would not want a girl though, no

Reece: Not in a million years, gay as a maypole here

Marta: What is a maypole

Reece: I actually have no idea

Charlie: Some genius you are

Marta: I am lucky, Keira is romantic

Carson: Gross

Harvey: One day you may not think romance is gross

Carson: Never

Kaori: So what keeps you busy Marta

Marta: I'm a barista

Kaori: Serving coffee all day? Sounds like tough work. Customers can be such a pain

Reece: Plus memorising all those orders

Marta: You're not disappointed in my job

Kaori: I don't even have a job so you're already ahead of me

Harvey: We tried to teach our kids that there are many options in life

Kayleigh: University is just one path, not everybody travels it

Harvey: Finding things that make you happy, that's important

Charlie: How about your parents

Marta: They have both passed to the forever save

Kayleigh: You're so young for that loss, I'm sorry

Harvey: Please visit whenever you need substitute parent hugs or advice

Marta: Gracias

Keira is delighted at how well things go, no one hates the cookies either.

Before long however the sun is setting and it's time to head back home.

Harvey: Good to see you kiddo

Keira: And you dad

Harvey: That Marta is a keeper

Keira: She's pretty great

Harvey: Just remember you're only 21, it's fine to take your time with things

Keira: I know dad, I love you loads

Keira: I don't think that could have gone better

Marta: Si. Your family is so friendly

Keira: We're all very close. Thank you for coming with me

Marta: Sulani reminds me of the beaches back in Cuba

Keira: Really

Marta: We weren't there long but I have good memories. Now I get to make more with you

Joey has been working hard on his mobile app so his sister Devin wanted to treat him to dinner. Joey is also creeped out at Caleb vampire running to the table. Come on dude, humans cannot keep up. Joining them is Devin's wife Luna and both of Joey's parents, Calista and Aaron.

Aaron: Most of this looks pretty adventurous

Joey: Watcher can't be bothered sorting out another in game restaurant right now

Calista: Sure son

Luna: OMW they have pasta

Devin: Lu I make you pasta all the time

Luna: But this one comes with a boatload of sauce

Calista: You are eating for three

Devin: Hi, could I please have a simsmapolitan. Just water for my wife, she's pregnant

Luna: Like she couldn't tell from looking at me

Devin: And I'm paying for everyone so we'll just need the one cheque at the end

Joey: Are you sure?

Devin: You may dream of being a tech guru but you're not there yet

Joey: Any updates on the Goth case pa

Aaron: I really should keep that between me and my clients

Joey: You know whatever you tell Alexander he's just going to tell me anyway

Devin: He's right

Aaron: We got the footage of Milton walking unattended up the drive to the courts, but a judge has to review

Joey: Do you think they'll be able to get Milton back

Aaron: I think so, the finances will take longer

Joey: Sis did you hear Dina called Alexander a golddigger

Devin: OMW she did not! What a hypocrite

Joey: Right! She's so ridiculous

Devin: What about Alexander's half siblings

Joey: Yeah, they exist

Devin: But will- Oh! Our food

Aaron: How do you suppose I'm meant to eat this

Joey: With your mouth

Aaron: Well thank you Joey

Luna: I cannot wait to dig into this

Callista: It looks nice but Yorks do pasta best

Luna: I'll let you know when I'm finished

Callista: Fill up those bambinos

Luna: Yes Ma'am

Devin: Seriously, they're Alexanders half siblings though, he must have some opinion

Joey: He's pretty focused on Milton

Calista: They tie Dina into his family forever

Luna: Calling the boy after his dead father, ghoulish

Devin: Seems nice to me

Luna: Because you're a cheerful sim schatz

Luna: Eve is a nice enough name for the girl but- oh dear

Devin: You okay Lu

Luna: Just some nausea it'll pass

Calista: I told you, those bambinos prefer York pasta

Aaron: Italians do it better

Joey: I've been told that

Calista: *laughs*

Aaron: Watcher save us from bro humour

Joey: Sorry pa, I'll keep my manners

Devin: This food really isn't too bad

Joey: I'm guessing you don't have the refined palate quirk yet

Devin: Wait- no I do

Joey: So how can you eat normal quality food without being sick

Devin: You should see some of what is on offer on set, the vegetables barely remember they're vegetables

Joey: Glamour of acting

Devin: I'm not sure how much time I'll get on set when the boys arrive though, I want to support Luna

Luna: Aww *blows kiss*

Devin: *grins*

Aaron: Remember if you need help we're just a phone call away

Joey: And me. I'm almost finished my degree so I can lend a hand

Luna: You're welcome anytime Joey

Joey: I'll be the cool uncle

Devin: Seriously though. When you've finished studying, if you need a place we have a spare room

Joey: You sure

Luna: We know how hard it is to establish yourself in Del Sol Valley

Devin: If you want to move in, just ask

The meal ends and goodbyes begin.

Joey: Bye you two, don't beat each other up too much in there

Calista: Luna seems to be coping well

Devin: I know she feels like a beached whale

Calista: Your bambinos will be here before you know it

Devin: I'm still worried about juggling twins

Calista: Remember help is a phone call away

James: Shall I compare thee to a summers day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate

Alexander: Aw sweets. You don't have to read me poetry to impress me

James: I know love but it makes you smile, and I love to see you smile

Alexander: I can't believe the wedding is tomorrow, it feels like-

Alexander: -we've been waiting forever

James: I know I've waited my whole life for you

Alexander: Aww sweets-

James: I mean it. You're the high point of my life

Alexander: Promise you'll stick around

James: I'll dodge the reaper as long as I can love

Alexander: Until then, be with me

James: Every night
