Are you a Believer? Third time lucky? - Graveyard

[Forest_Bear]

Good luck for your third attempt! I love how you've named the triplets after characters from the Hunger Games

[azokka361]

Hehe, no. Finnick is awesome. I'm trying to make the boys like their characters because Peeta's two skills at the moment are cooking (he's a baker's son) and painting (because he's awesome at painting and camouflage). Finnick's is fishing (because he's from the fishing district) and I'm not sure what to do with Haymitch. Maybe Nectar Making  ?

Or maybe Mixology, if you have Late Night. I can so picture Haymitch jumping around in a tub of fruit . . .

LOL yes! I could see him doing either. Or both

I'd just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has read, commented and supported this story.

Chapter 9
Who you gonna call?

Mr Zombie: RAWR!
Locke: Help! ZOMBIES!

Let me just explain what's happening. Locke is the ghost who died on the lot when he was a zombie. And the Zombie is a Zombie. And Locke, even though he was one once, is terrified of him.



So he runs upstairs...



And hides in a chair.



Echo: Wimp.
I think you need to give him a bit of sympathy.
Echo: Why?!
Well, he's a ghost...
Echo: I've been a ghost for the last hundred years! He needs to get over it!
Very, very unsympathetic.

I put Locke's grave beside Mrs Paws' in the graveyard. Nobody that important in there at the moment



Haymitch returned the day before the boys were due to age up. I wanted to select his trait and I definitely didn't want him to get Snob.




Echo: My dear little darling. You're home! You've missed so much. We had a zombie die on our doorstep!
Haymitch: Aah. The Rising Dead. We had many of those creatures at Smuggleworth's.
There were zombies at boarding school?!
Haymitch: Oh. I'd forgotten about you. *to Echo* I thought you said you'd take care of her.
Echo: *to Haymitch* Sorry, there was nothing I could do. I promise you can move out when you turn YA.
Haymitch: DEAL!



Haymitch had a fun joyride on the sofa. I suppose they didn't allow it at boarding school.
Haymitch: Well, we had real cars so it wasn't a problem.
Real ones?!
Haymitch: Real ones.



Peeta. Today is a very important day. You know what day it is?
Peeta: Honor roll day?
Yes. And it's your last day of school. You have to get it today. To-day, hear me?
Peeta: I hear you.
The whole dynasty rests on your young shoulders.



And...

Peeta: I got it! I'm on  the Honor Roll!
The Believers and the Watcher: Hurray!

Next time: Birthdays!

[Snufflesxx]

Chapter 10
Birthdays once again

Peeta: Hmm, what to wish for?
I know what I'd wish for. A good roll on your trait.
Peeta: Nah, that's boring. I want a giraffe!
Trait it is. Blow out your candles, big boy!




Peeta: Yay!
For what?
Peeta: No more childhood requirements!
You'll have teen ones.
Peeta: Nooooooooooo!




Peeta rolled Night Owl to add to virtuoso, light sleeper and good.



Haymitch: You bothered to buy me a cake?
Yes. I'm not that evil you know.
Haymitch: Hmm, I'm not sure about that.




I give Haymitch the brooding trait to add to heavy sleeper, loner and something else...

Finnick: And don't forget me!
I would never do that, Finnick.





Finnick gets angler (what else?) to add to loves the outdoors, easily impressed and friendly.

First up on the catwalk is our heir, the ever handsome Peeta!




Next is Haymitch, who has grown his hair out even further. You look dashing, Haymitch.




And last is our lovely Finnick and with that face, I'm sure he'll have all the girls swooning!




You all look fabulous, darlings.
Haymitch: Never call me darling. Ever again. Ever.
*rolls eyes*

[sunshine_2406]

I really like how your story is going and I have to say that Peeta is absolutely adorable with those big floppy ears

[Snufflesxx]

He's really like his mum, well, when she was a human. Haymitch also has the ears but they're not as prominent because he's a ghost. The most normal of the three is Finnick, who has normal hair and eyes and, most importantly, ears.

[Snufflesxx]

Happy November everybody! I've started the countdown to Christmas!

-------------------------------

Chapter 11
The Best Field Trip Ever!

I wanted to show you the progress on the graveyard and mausoleum.

A stray dog wandered onto the lot and died. So I put his grave in the graveyard, beside Mrs Paws. He's actually a blue ghost, so he did have a happy life, despite being a stray.



And these are the mausoleum rooms. Echo's is complete, with her 7 upgraded TVs (one which you can't see), her two career rewards on the wall and a portrait of her, painted by Gunther.



And here is Peeta's. In this Dynasty I've really started to get into photography, so I've got three photos of him, two as a child and one as a teen.



Peeta has started his teen requirements. He gets to wear an awesome outfit for his job at the neighbourhood mausoleum.



Peeta: I don't really know why I need a suit. It just gets dirty when I'm digging the graves.
You look dashing though.
Peeta: You really think so?
Yes. And I'm sure our Readers would agree with me.



Peeta: After showing a picture of me looking fabulous, you show me painting in my PJs?
Yes. Just so everyone knows that you're still a keen painter.
Peeta: Oh. Just wait until I change, ok?



While Peeta paints in his pyjamas, Haymitch sits in the garden, wondering about his existence.
Haymitch: Why can Finnick and Peeta be free and pull girls while I can't do anything. All Mum's fault, being a ghost and everything...
* inaudible grumbles*

The boys took a field trip to the neighbourhood mausoleum. Peeta seemed awfully excited, despite the fact that he works there.



Their teacher really made me laugh.



Arlo Bunch the Fairy. And with such little wings!

Anyway, it was a fantastically good trip. The boys all got the usual posters but Haymitch also got a Pink Diamond! It sold for over 1,500!
And the better news was...



Peeta found a Genie Lamp! Unfortunately, there won't be Gen 3 Genies because Peeta's genie is a boy but he still wished for fortune which raised the family funds considerably.

Next time: Genies, police cars and a girl!

[ladyaya]

Uh...If you were hoping for a girl genie, shouldn't you have not touched the lamp until Peeta is a young adult, or can you make it so that you don't release the genie until he's a young adult?

I've never played a genie out of a lamp before.

[Snufflesxx]

I've never played a genie out of a lamp before.

I could have had my first two wishes (or just one, or none) and then released when he was YA. But I actually didn't want Genies this early (I'm actually hunting down pretty fairies!) so its not a big problem.

Chapter 12
Finnick (and others)

Finnick, what are you doing in that police car
Finnick: I was doing some late night fishing. The guy has some sort of problem with it.
Female police officer: You were out past your curfew. And don't call me a guy.
Finnick: Chill dude I mean Miss.



Echo: Finnick! How could you sneak out like that?! I was so worried!
Finnick: I was just fishing. For you know what.



Echo: Oh, you lovely boy! So thoughtful. But there's plenty of time. Now, get to bed.
Finnick: Thanks mum!



Finnick: Hi, little fishes. I wish I had a big tank of fishes like this.
You do know they're not real, don't you?
Finnick: Of course...



Finnick: *in head* Oh wow, she's gorgeous. Don't mess up now...
Finnick: Hi there. Do you like fish?
Alysia: No.
Finnick: Oh.



Peeta: Look at that pancake fly! I'm a champion chef!
Not just yet, Peeta.



Genie: It's cold! Bet you can't catch me, sprinkler! Nahahahhanahanahnah!
Peeta! Put the Genie back in his lamp!
Genie: You will never contain me in any lamp! I'm free, free as a bird!
Peeta: Come here, Mr Genie.
Genie: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

[Snufflesxx]

Chapter 13
Birthday, birthday, birthday!

Finnick: Peeta, all I need you to do is get that last promotion and then I can date Alysia (Ah... Alysia)
Peeta: *rolls eyes*

Later that day...

Peeta: I got it! The boss gave me that final promotion!
Finnick: Alysia! I'm coming baby!





Very nice, Peeta.
Peeta: Hmm, I'm not sure about the pyjamas.





Not too shabby, Haymitch.
Haymitch: Yes...





Finnick: Alysia, Alysia, Alysia...
She'll be here soon. I promise.




Peeta is indeed very handsome. Like a male Echo really.




Haymitch kept his hair long and his gothic style is unchanged.




And I'm sure that the lady who gets a ring on Finnick's finger will be a very lucky person indeed!
Finnick: And that, of course, shall be my Alysia!

Finnick doesn't wait a moment to invite Alysia over.



Ever since he was a teen, Finnick has been in love with Alysia.



And now she's his.






She's very pretty. I didn't even change her hairstyle because it looked so perfect.




Hurray to the happy couple!
Peeta: Me next?
Yes.

[saltpastillen]

Finnick is adorable, and Haymich is such a Goth!

I'm happy love wins the day.

[RainBeau]

Hurray! Finnick is adorable. I mean, all the guys are cute, but I really like Finnick. Glad he's happy! And I liked Peeta's pyjamas, I think the stripes look cool.

[Silverbella]

The boys are all so handsome!  And I was really happy for Finnick when he finally got his Alysia.  Hopefully she'll learn to like fish?
