I'm very curious to see what will happen next. What could have been in the cream? Don't hold us too long in suspense.

Chapter 35: Confrontation



Monika awoke in a dark forest.




"W-Where am I?" She asked. "Hello?"

That's when she saw them.



She breathed a sigh of relief. Danica, Courtney, and Liz were here too. Maybe they knew what was going on.




"Hello guys!" Monika chirped. "Do you know where we are?"

They didn't respond.

"Hello?" Monika said, a little annoyed. "Can you hear me?!"

That's when they vanished.





"W-What?" Monika stammered. What was going on?

Monika became very scared. She started running. Where to? She wasn't sure. She knew one thing for certain: She had to get out of this place.



"Having fun?" A voice smirked.



"W-Who said that?" Monika stammered. "Where are you?"

"Over here, stupid." The voice answered.

Monika turned around.



It was Agnes Crumplebottom.



Anger exploded inside her. Agnes was doing this to her.



"Your just too selfish, aren't you?!" Monika snapped.



"I'm being selfish?" Agnes hissed as she stood up.

"Yes you are, stupid!" Monika yelled.



"Yes you are, stupid." Agnes said mockingly.

"How are the requirements going by the way?"

Monika smiled. She was ready for this.

"Pretty good," Monika smirked. "As of now, Tori has 7 best friends and 8 NPC friends. Danica is close to supermaxing her skill. Danica also bought and upgraded Stoney Falls." Monika laughed. "Oh, and she also bought Doo Peas Corporate Towers as well."

Agnes died laughing. "I know you've done that!" She smirked. "What about the opportunities?"

Monika turned pale. She had forgotton about the oppurtunities. Then she saw Agnes smirk. Agnes was enjoying this.

"Nice lotion you guys gave me," Monika said, changing the subject. "I know this is all a dream, your not real."

Agnes raised her eyebrows. "Oh, am I?" She said. She then took a necklace out of her pocket, and put it around Monika's neck.

"I knew you'd be like that." Agnes snickered. "You think this is all a dream? Well, it's time to WAKE UP!"

Agnes pulled out a wand, and shot a spell at Monika.




Monika opened her eyes, she was in her room. And everyone had gathered around her.

See you next time, and please comment!

[Anna33]

Agnes is Evil.

[The Geeky Firefly]

Wow, I was not expecting Agnes and Chris to do something like that. I can't wait to see what happens next!

[RaiaDraconis]

Ooh, interesting development. I am curious to see how this plays out.

[Beezy]

I loved the comments!  Anyway, something happened in my game that was totally unexpected. You'll find out on Friday, and I think that you'll be shocked, I was. I'll give you a hint: it isn't a death.

[SadieHamming]

Oh, good. But WHAT was it?

[Beezy]

Oh, good. But WHAT was it?

That's for me to know, and for you to find out.

Chapter 36: Everyone Makes Mistakes

Monika woke up so suddenly, that it scared everyone around her. In fact, Maddie even fainted.



Gathered around her bed were Stiles, Danica, Tori, and Ayesha. Monika could also feel that the Watcher was there. Stiles tried to help Maddie, but Danica stopped him.

"Monika....Are..You...Alright?" Tori asked, still recovering.

Monika put her head back on her pillow, trying to look as relaxed as possible. "I'm fine," She said.



"No, your obviously not," Tori snapped, "You were tossing and turning and screaming while you were asleep. I had to tell the party guests that our cat had fell in the bathtub again, and Pets isn't even installed!"

"We don't own a bathtub either." Stiles mumbled.

"No, I'm fine," Monika said, although she knew it was pretty clear that she was lying.

The Watcher groaned. "If your fine," He said, "That makes me the next American Idol. Seriously, I tried using the 'wake up' interaction, but you wouldn't wake up. Was that a glitch or something?"

"I just had a nightmare thats all," Monika said.

"Sounded worse than a nightmare to me," said Maddie, who had just woken up. Once again startling everyone.

"Well you know-" Monika began, but she stopped. The thought of the lotion just entered her mind. "Hey Stiles," Monika said, "Where did you buy that lotion?"

"Oh, the lotion?" said Stiles. "I didn't buy it, a man gave it to me." 

Panic made its way into Monika's mind. "Ummm...Did he tell you his name?"

"I think it was Christopher? Oh, the man's name was Christopher Steel." Stiles said. "Why is it so important anyway?"

Monika didn't need to hear anymore. Christopher Steel. Her focus turned back to the group.
"Well as soon as I put it on my face, I felt sleepy. So I took a nap here," Monika answered.

"Maybe it was a side effect of the lotion." Danica said.

"I highly doubt it." Ayesha began. "Even if drowsiness was a symptom, it wouldn't impact you that fast. It would most likely take about 10 minutes."

Monika felt something jingle in her pocket, she took out the object. It was the necklace Agnes had given her. Except it wasn't a necklace, it was a locket. She probably hadn't looked at it close enough.

"Ooooohh!" Maddie exclaimed. "That's a pretty locket, where did you buy it?"

It wasn't bought, Monika thought. She put it back in her pocket.

"Wait," Tori said, "You said the man's name was Christopher Steel?"

"Yeah." Stiles answered. "Why?"

"That's the same man who- wait....." Tori said. She suddenly remembered. "Why didn't you tell me that Agnes was the mayor?!" She shouted.

"What?" Everyone said in unison.

"I thought you were the mayor!" Ayesha said.

"Don't lie to me," Tori shouted, "You know I was fired-" She stopped. She hadn't told them. Ayesha was right.

"Yeah, you never told us!" Stiles said coldly, as if reading her mind.

"Well, you would find out anyway, you watch the news don't you?" Tori responded.

Monika shook her head. "The only person in this house that watches the news is Courtney." Monika said. "We're all to busy focusing on the requirements."

Tori froze. That was also right. She was wrong yet again.

"I don't see why you should be mad at us!" Stiles said. "Even if we did watch the news we wouldn't tell you! You would just get mad at us for telling you."

Tori stared at the ground. She didn't like being yelled at.

"What's worse," Ayesha hissed, "Is that you didn't tell us. Did you think we would be mad at you? We wouldn't Tori, we know what kind of person you are. You are a normal person, and normal people make mistakes."

"I'm sure their mistakes aren't as horrible as being fired, and having someone else ruin your reputation!" Tori replied.

"Wait, who ruined your reputation?" Maddie asked.

"Christopher Steel and Agnes Crumplebottom." Tori answered.

"Christopher beat me up at your fundraiser." Monika said. "I hate him."

"WHAT?!" Stiles shouted. "SOMEONE HURT YOU AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!"

Monika looked down at the floor like a child being scolded.

"I can't believe you." Stiles said. "You wouldn't tell your own husband that someone hurt you? Do you know how that make me feel?" Tears filled his eyes. "We've been together for 28 years, you've been lying to me for 28 years."

"Hey, I wasn't lying!" Monika said.

"If you didn't tell me something this serious, then your lying!" Stiles snapped. "How many other times have you lied to me, huh? How-"

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Danica yelled so loud, it almost broke the windows.

Everyone froze.

"I know your all mad at each other," Danica said, "But will it do us any good to argue? No." She turned to Ayesha. "I know your mad at Tori for not telling you this, but you know now." Ayesha opened her mouth to speak, but Danica shook her head.

"Don't interrupt." She hissed. Danica then turned to Stiles. "Dad, I know your mad at mom, and I understand. But she won't lie to you anymore. I know that."

Danica glanced at Monika. Monika nodded.

"It's time we start focusing on the present, and put the past behind us. Yes, it's okay to be angry, but arguing won't do us any good." She looked at her mother again. "Mom, earlier you took out a locket, is there anything you'd like to tell us about it?"

Monika just sat there, shocked. "Mom?" Danica said bringing Monika back to the present.

"Oh!" Monika said. She began to explain about the dream, she told them about the forest, Liz, Courtney, and Danica vanishing, Agnes, and the locket.

"So it wasn't a dream." Stiles gasped when she was finished talking. Monika pulled out the locket.

"It wasn't a dream that's for sure." She said.

"Should we open it?" The Watcher exclaimed.

"I think we should." Maddie said.

Monika opened the locket, the inside was blank, except it had a note in it. Monika unfolded the note, and read out loud.

"It says: 'There will be seven'." She said

"What does that mean?" Maddie asked.

"Wait." The Watcher said. "There are eight people in the household, you don't think one of you is gonna....Die?"

Before anyone could respond, Courtney opened the door.

"Have you guys seen Liz?" He asked. "She should be home by now."

Tori's face turned pale, and she ran out of the room. She heard footsteps behind her, but she didn't care. She only had one thought: She had to save her daughter.


AN: I apologize for the shortness of this chapters and lack of screenshots. When you have sims on free will, it's hard to make them stay in one place. Also, this wasn't the shocking thing I mentioned. You'll find out what it is in the next chapter. Thanks for reading and please comment.

[SadieHamming]

That wasn't shocking enough?! There wasn't a need for the screenshots, your writing made up for it. Now I just want the next chapter!

[Beezy]

Awww.. That was probably my favorite comment! I'm uploading screenshots now, so you'll get the next chapter in about an hour.

Chapter 37: Then There Was 7

Tori sat, shivering on the couch. "Did you call the military base?" She asked Danica for the 23rd time.

Danica nodded. "They said she left about two hours ago, so she can't be working overtime."

On the other side of the room, Monika was calling many of her friends to ask if they had seen Liz. They were pretty famous in town, so everyone knew who Liz was.

"I'm sorry, I haven't seen her,"said Holly Alto, who was on the same squad as Liz was. "She left when our patrol was done, I offered her a ride home, but she said she'd already called for a taxi,"

"Ok, thank you." Monika said. She hung up, and collasped on the dining chair. "Oh Liz...." She said to herself. She then saw Courtney putting on his coat. "Where are you going?" She asked.

"I have to go find her." Courtney snapped. "Even if I have to search from Sunset Valley to Lunar Lakes, I won't take a break." He headed for the door.

"I'm coming with you." Danica said. "Liz is my best friend."

"I'll go with you kids." Ayesha added.

"I'm 26." Danica mumbled. The trio headed out the door.

"Where should we look first?" Danica asked.

"I'd question Agnes Crumplebottom and Christopher Steel." The Watcher suggested. "I checked the map, and Agnes is living with Jamie Jolina."

"Should we go to Jamie's house?" Ayesha asked.

"Yes, now GO!" Courtney yelled. The car sped off.

"No, sorry. Haven't seen her."

"Oh, thank you Ethan." Monika hung up. She tried to focus on something else, like yesterday afternoon.



Everyone had went to the diner to eat lunch. It was fun until...



Starr Coley JUST HAD TO DIE!!




The Grim Reaper appeared.



Grim: I need to hurry, according to my clipboard, Judy Bunch just got hit by a bus.



Starr: No please! The diner had a chicken salad special! I love chicken salad!

Grim: Chicken salad? I'm in! Judy Bunch will have to wait.

Monika only hoped that Liz wasn't being visited by the Grim Reaper.

"Hey, I think I know where Liz is." Stiles said.

"Where?" Tori and Monika asked.

Meanwhile...

Courtney rang the doorbell. A vampire opened the door. Ayesha saw that the vampire was Jamie Jolina.

"Hi," Danica said. "Can we speak to Agnes Crumplebottom?

"Sure." Jamie answered. Jamie led them to the kitchen, where Agnes was sitting.

Agnes turned, and a smirk fell on her face. "Can I help you?" She smiled.

"Where is my wife?!" Courtney snapped.

Agnes laughed. "Oh Liz? I don't know. Now if you don't mind, please let me cook. She resumed cooking.

"I know what you did to my Mom and Tori." Danica hissed.

Agnes laughed. "So? What are you going to do? Put me in jail?" She shook her head. "You can't do that. You have no proof."

"Yes we do," Ayesha laughed. "We could just take the lotion to the police, and they'll find your fingerprints on it."

"Agnes, what are they talking about?" Jamie asked.

"Jamie, please leave. This is none of your concern." Agnes said

"Well, I'm concerned about it," Jamie growled. "Have you been doing something illegal?"

"NO!" Agnes yelled, slamming her hand on the counter. "Get out!"

Jamie glared at Agnes, but then walked out of the room. Courtney turned back to Agnes.

"Are you always that rude?" He asked.

"No, but you guys are." Agnes smirked.

"Nice comeback." The Watcher said. "Where did you learn that from? Your nephew?"

Agnes was startled by his voice. "Why can't you leave me alone?!" She yelled at the watcher.

"Because you won't leave us alone." He responded.

"You know what? GET OUT!" Agnes pushed the three of them out the door before slamming it in their faces.

"She's hiding something." Ayesha said.

"Obviously, but how will we get her to tell us?" Danica asked.

Then, Courtney's cell phone rang. "Hello?" He said.

"Courtney, this is Stiles. Miraj Alvi said he saw Liz enter Port-A-Party warehouse a few minutes ago."

"Lets go." Courtney told them.

They pulled up to Port-A-Party warehouse, and rushed inside.

"Excuse me." Danica said as she accidentally ran into a mixologist.

"Watch it!" The mixologist yelled.

They ran into the middle of the warehouse, ignoring the annoyed looks of customers.

Ayesha turned pale and pointed to a booth. "I-Is that....LIZ?!"

Danica and Courtney looked at where she was pointing, and it was Liz alright. She was sitting in the booth with a man.

She was also kissing him.

AN: Yep, that was the shocking thing. Please share your thoughts. 

[The Geeky Firefly]

You're such an amazing writer! You were right about this chapter being shocking. I hope Liz has a good explanation for what she was doing.

[Beezy]

Thanks.  When she did this in-game, I was really surprised. Liz didn't have the flirty trait, but she still flirted with another man that she barely knew.
