Chapter Twenty Three



Ray:  Hey there!  You want to play pirates?
Jeffrey:  Well YEAH!



Jeffrey:  Off the starboard bow! *pew pew*
Ray:  No one can sink our ship!



Jeffrey:  And then this giant monster jumped out of the ocean, but we were able to shoot it before it got to us!



Ray:  Hard to starboard!  Hard to starboard!
Jayden:  Grarble blargle!



Ray:  I need a weapons mechanic!  Jeff, where'd you go!
He went home to bed, like you should!  Get movin!
Ray:  Awww.





Shayla:  Hey Ken come here, I want to get a picture while I'm still pregnant...  say "Cheese"!
Ken:  Nachos!









Ken:  Man, there sure are a lot of space monsters out today.



Shayla:  I think it's time to leave...
Richard:  Leave?
Shayla:  To the hospital.
Richard:  Oh!







Nick:  Well since I'm the first one to welcome you to the household, I just want to say Ahbloodeebloodeeboo!



Shayla:  What did Nick say Amira?  Did he invite you to join his gang?  Because there's absolutely no gang-joining until you're at least 18.  None!



Shayla:  You should have gone to the hospital!  They have this machine that just takes the baby right out, no work needed!
Rhia:  Wow really?  I wish I'd had time, I was kind of busy with the wedding...



Rhia:  I'm headed off for a swim.  Have fun you guys.





Richard:  Nice painting dad.
Kell:  Thanks!  How are you feeling Shayla?
Shayla:  Fine actually.  I was thinking about going fishing later.  Want to join me?
Kell:  I'm in.







Rhia:  Well Amira, what do you think?  When you grow up you can totally join the house mashers gang with me and Nick!

[Playalot]

Oh so much happened. RIP Vicky! But a big congrats for Nick becoming immortal! Woo. That's got to feel good.  Why do I have a certain uneasiness about the life of this little new nooboo? I mean gang affiliations already?? Hmmm. 

[Nettlejuice]

RIP Vicky  Congratulations to Nick on reaching immortality and the new addition to the house 

[Ferretmania]

Playing catch up with a lot of stories.

I love this Dynasty and the way you tell it.

Congratulations to Nick on reaching immortality and on getting a new addition to the house. Talking gang relations in such an early stage, should be interesting to see what that will lead to. If anything
RIP Vicky.

Chapter Twenty Five



Richard:  Good morning my love.
Shayla:  Oh, you're such a sweet talker. *giggles*



Kell:  *grumble mumble too old for this grumble*



Kell:  You know, you're pretty cute when you haven't filled your pants.



Ray:  Oh hey!  You work with Grandpa Nick right?
Arvin:  I do.  I'm in his ah... human relations department.
Ray:  Cool!  Do you play chess?  I need someone to practice with.
Arvin:  Hm... well I suppose I could give it a shot.



Ray:  So Grandpa says he does computer stuff like Grandma used to, but I don't believe him.  He works out too much to be a computer guy.
Arvin:  Oh?  So you don't think that people that work with computers should work out?
Ray:  Yeah, but Grandpa works out a lot.  Almost as much as dad does.



Kell:  Oh hello Arvin.  Been a while since I've seen you around.  You looking for Nick?
Arvin:  I am, but I'm not in a rush.  You know, your Great grandson's pretty good at this game.
Ray:  See, I said I was good!  I'm first at school, I just can't beat grandpa cause he cheats.



Kell:  Well if you know he cheats, why don't you call him on it?
Ray:  Cause he gets grumpy when you catch him.
Arvin:  Hah!



Ray:  So what do you do for my grandpa anyways?
Arvin:  I make sure that the people Nick talks to get exactly what he means, that way there aren't any misunderstandings.  Sometimes I have to go and explain it to them a little better afterwards.
Ray:  Oh, so you're like a translator?
Arvin:  Close enough.



I thought you didn't like kids?
Rhia:  I don't like kids, babies are fine.
That seems like an oddly specific distinction...
Rhia:  Well it's how I feel.  I'm sure I'll have issues with Amira later, but for now she's cute enough.



Ray:  Whatcha painting over there grandpa?
Nick:  A cloud!
Ray:  Me too!



Ray:  I'm learning the violin too grandpa!  What do you think? *screeeeeeeee*
Nick:  *gritting teeth*  Sounds great kid...  why don't you go show how good you are to your dad?



Rhia:  I know your dad said you could stay up late to draw some pictures, but I think 1AM is late enough.  Head to bed.



Richard:  Oh, I was just heading over to change her.
Shayla:  It's fine dear, I need to feed Amira anyways.  Go do your paintings.



Nick:  Hey Rhia, ...
Rhia:  EEEEAAAAH!
Nick:  Um... I haven't actually scared you yet.



Rhia:  Oh, I um...  hehehehe.  Maybe I'm a little jumpy today.
Nick:  *Snort*



Nick:  I'm glad you married my son, you're fun to have around, heh.
Rhia:  Uh... Thanks I think.



Nick:  Man I'll never miss this part of raising kids...



Oh hey Ken.  What are you up to?
Ken:  Just getting some alone time.  Everyone's been around the house lately, it seems like the only place that it's safe to be alone is up here.
So not worried about your birthday then?
Ken:  Uh... It's my birthday?
You didn't...  sigh.  Yes, and your wife made you a cake.



Ken:  Oooo, I do love me some hamburger cake...  But my trainer says I'm not allowed to have anything but fish and salads...



Ken:  Buuuut I think I can cheat this once...  Mmmmm hamburger!

Oh so much happened. RIP Vicky! But a big congrats for Nick becoming immortal! Woo. That's got to feel good.  Why do I have a certain uneasiness about the life of this little new nooboo? I mean gang affiliations already?? Hmmm. 

Two down six to go, eh?  Man I sure do feel farther in than that, but I guess it's just a matter of perspective!  And don't you be mockin the house mashers, they's be supr srs bznss.

RIP Vicky  Congratulations to Nick on reaching immortality and the new addition to the house 

Thanks Nettle!  I gotta say, Nick was closer to the line than I like to admit...  I haven't been doing my post story story, maybe I'll have to do one next chapter to get caught up.

Playing catch up with a lot of stories.

RIP Vicky.

Glad you're enjoying it!  This is your first post on the story I believe, so welcome!  We'll see where the gang talk leads, maybe she'll be a big bad crook like her Uncle.

[Playalot]

Arvin the translator. lmao. Yeah... <snicker>

[Nettlejuice]

Love that Arvin is a translator  Amira is a beautiful name, I don't think I've heard it before.

Chapter Twenty Five





Oh good, you're all grown up!  Um sort of.  I'll go get Ray then.



Hey Ray!
Ray:  Hey Watcher.  Check this out!



Oh, that's awesome!  Um... there's no chance of that blowing up right?
Ray:  I don't think so...  I mean it was sold as a kids toy.
Oh good.  Hey go get ready, we're gunna go do a day at the park!



Richard:  Hot dogs are done, I'll get started on the burgers.





Richard:  Mmm  these are pretty good... think I'll have to post this to my Tweeter.  #tastyburger





Ray:  Oh hey Arvin!
Arvin:  Hey Ray!  Er, I mean Graaaawr!



Say, what were you up to while we were at the park Nick?
Nick:  Chess actually.  There's a couple good players lurking around the park still.





Richard:  Carry the 5, and add it to the total you get when you multiply the second column of digits.



Shayla:  Hm... I think Jerry is the murderer. 
Rhia:  What?  Oh yeah, uh... yeah.  Sorry this alien porcupine thing is freakin me out... are you sure it's dead?
Shayla:  Well it hasn't moved in years, so I'd say it is yeah.



Ray:  I'm not sure we'll make it out of the gravity well!
Amira:  Well if we do I don't see anything but clear space ahead.





Ray:  Oh wow!  You caught that?
Rhia:  Yeah!  It just looks like a tree doesn't it?



Ray:  OW!
Rhia:  Careful Ray.  Don't want to poke your eye out.
Hey Ray, your cake's done, Kell put it on the table.







Happy birthday Ray!

[dethdukk]

Chapter TwentySix



Right down to homework eh?
Ray: Might as well get it done now, no point in waiting.
You know, if I'd had that attitude in school I probably would have done much better.



Rhia:  Hey Ray, listen to this... hehe... this joke.  So a penguin walks into a bar.  He goes up to the bartender and asks, have you seen my brother?



Rhia:  And... hahaha... the bartender replies... hehe...  what does he look like!  Bahahahahah! *snort*
Ray:  Ha... ha?  Mom that jokes really... not that funny.



Nick:  Hey Ray, tell me if you've heard this one:  *HOOOOONK*



Ray:  Agh, dangit grandpa!
Nick:  hehehehe!
Never gets old for you huh Nick.
Nick:  Nope!





Ken:  So why the sudden interest in exercise?
Ray:  I want to be in shape when I go through that wormhole you discovered recently.
Ken:  Oh?  I don't know if that's a great idea...
Ray:  That's why I'm getting ready for it!



Ray:  I'm out!  Wish me luck Watcher!
Good luck, but I'm coming with you.  There's to be no wormhole exploring alone.
Ray:  Alright, fine.  Feel free to take the back seat.



Ray:  Oh wow, a whole new world...
Yeah...  not much plant life here.



Ray:  That's not entirely true.  Look at the trees and... I think those are mushrooms.  Pretty dark here though.  Man these crystals are amazing!
No kidding.  Make sure you get some of those plants too, we'll want to plant them back home and see if they do well.
Ray:  Alright...  oh wow I found an alien!
Uh... like, "martian alien" alien, or like "small non-intelligent alien" alien?
Ray:  The latter.



Did you seriously bring your homework along on a trip into a wormhole?
Ray:  Well... yeah.  I didn't know how long I'd be out.
That makes a certain amount of sense, but it's still a little odd to do in either case.  Say, is that... Ray, there's an alien.  Like a martian alien alien.
Ray:  Really?  Oh man I gotta see!



Ray:  Greetings!  I'm Ray, I'm from another planet.  Can you understand me?
Zara:  Hello there Ray, I'm Zara.  And yes, almost all aliens speak Simlish, we've been visiting your world for a while now.
Ray:  Wait, there are aliens on earth?
Zara:  Oh yeah.  That oval thing you beamed down near?  It's a teleporter, it'll take you anywhere you want on earth.  Getting back to Sixam's a little harder since you guys haven't actually invented portals yet...  but I'm sure you'll get there eventually.
Ray:  Oh.  Well that makes getting back home pretty easy.  Hey Watcher, you want to go back home?  I'm feeling pretty hungry from all the exploring.
Yeah, sure.
Ray: Good meeting you Zara!





Happy birthday Shayla!  How do you feel?
Shayla:  Pretty good actually.  I don't know why everyone else is always complaining about back problems.
Huh.  Well hopefully you don't have to find out later.



Time for another round of ambrosia, eh guys?  starting to look like we'll have to pay more attention to how many potions of youth we have, at this rate we're going to run out before we finish...
Kell:  Hm.... Maybe it's time to find another aspiration to share then Watcher.
I think you might be right.





Happy birthday to you too Rhiannon!  Man lots of people having birthdays this week.
Rhia:  Thanks Watcher!  Yeah, it's been pretty hectic.



Zara:  Oh hey there Ray!
Ray:  Zara?  How did you get here?
Zara:  Oh when you took the portal back home, you left the co-ordinates punched in.  I got curious and decided to visit.



Zara: The cosmos is so much bigger than you Sims know.  There's so much out there, you guys have really only started to explore it.
Ray:  Really?  But we have a department of space exploration and everything... kind of like space police.



Zara:  Oh yeah I know all about them, I actually work there.  I'm pretty close to Space Ranger, just one more promotion to go!
Ray:  That's amazing!





Rhia:  So what did you guys think of that woman that came over to visit Ray?  Did something seem... I don't know, off to you?
Richard:  Hm?  No not really, why?
Shayla:  I didn't notice anything unusual.
Rhia:  I guess it was just me.  Something just seemed...  not quite right. 

[dethdukk]

Chapter Twenty Seven



Richard:  Urg... I don't feel... great.
Nick:  Richard?  You alright?



Richard:  I think it's time for me to go... Nick, tell Shayla and Amira I love them?
Nick:  I will.  Richard, don't leave.  I don't want you to leave.
Richard:  I'm sorry.  I love you brother.





Kell:  My son...  I...  I'm not sure I can take this Watcher.
I'm sorry Kell.  Really I am.  If I could save him, I would have.



Rhia:  Oh hey there Zara.
Hey Rhia, can we talk a sec?
Rhia:  Yeah, what's up?
Richard passed away last night, and Shayla's taking it pretty hard.  Would you stay with her, keep her spirits up?



Rhia:  I'm so sorry Shayla.  Is there anything I can do?
Shayla:  Just...  talk with me I guess.  I don't want to be alone.
Rhia:  Alright.



Rhia:  So... what's the first language programmers learn?
Shayla:  What?
Rhia:  Profanity!



Shayla: Thanks Rhia.



Ken:  Aww, thanks dear.  But why so affectionate?
Rhia:  Being with Shayla has made me realize that I should really spend more time with you while I can.
Ken:  Well, in that case...







Ray:  What do you think of my outfit?
Nick:  Um... What outfit?
Shayla:  What is it with kids today anyways?  Oh, look at my outfit, oh, look at the picture I took of myself!  Apparently you're not getting enough attention.
Nick:  Now don't be mean Shayla, all boys are that way.



Ray:  So have you seen the new superhero show?
Nick:  You mean the speedster one?
Ray:  Yeah, isn't it awesome?



Nick:  Oh yeah, it's totally awesome!
Ray:  And when he vibrates so fast he can go through the wall?  It was fricken wicked!  But I mean, he never uses his powers right.  He could have easily stopped the robber right away, but instead he stood still long enough to taunt him
Nick:  Yeah, but if he was actually using them right each fight would just end right away and the show would be boring.
Ray:  Or they could just come up with some enemies that would actually challenge a speedster who is properly using his power.



Ray:  So what would you have if you had a superpower?
Zara:  I think I'd want flight.  It would be so cool to be able to fly everywhere.



Ray:  So what's up with the disguise?
Zara:  Oh you can see it now?  I've just been putting a little more effort into it... it's a telepathy thing, making people see what isn't actually there.  Your mother's been giving me some funny looks... like that one.



Rhia:  Whoh, what in the world...
Zara:  (watching out window) 3...2...1...  Liftoff!





Uhhhh...  I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do here.





Rhia:  Oh, I get it now!  She's an alien!
And... you're okay with that?
Rhia:  Oh yeah, that's sweet!  We should invite her into the household, we've got room now that Richards gone.
Huh.  Alright, well I'll let you go do that then.



Zara:  Yeah, I'd be happy to move in!  That's so kind of you, I was having trouble finding a place of my own in town!

[dethdukk]

Chapter Twenty Eight



I didn't know you liked fishing Rhia.
Rhia:  I was kind of impartial.  As it turns out, it's pretty fun when you have some good company.  Shayla was feeling down, and I thought a fishing trip might help.





Anything good yet?
Shayla:  Nah, just a couple of little ones.  I suppose Kell can cook them for dinner later.  He makes a pretty good fish.



Rhia passed out?
Shayla:  Hmph.  I know she said she was enjoying it, but I'm pretty sure she was just trying to please me.  No worries tho...



Shayla:  Cause ever since she stopped bothering the fish, I've been catching these little babies non-stop!



Ray:  I got my A at school!  There was a pretty hard quiz that I'd forgotten to study for, but it looks like I remembered enough of it, cause I aced it!
Zara:  That's wonderful!  So how much longer till you finish?
Ray:  Just a couple more days till finals are over.  Still, I better get to work on my homework.  Got a few more tests to pass before I'm done.



Ray:  You want any help Amira?
Amira:  Nah, I'm good.  This stuff easy anyways.



Oooo, I like the uniform.
Zara:  Why thank you.  Part of the reason I took this job, I do like a slick uniform.





Everyone:  Happy birthday Amira!



Ray:  How's the cake?
Amira:  Truthfully?  A little dry...  did Ken make it?
Ray:  Yeah... I love my dad, but he's really not great at cooking.  At all.



Kell:  My oddest day at work... well lets think...  Alright, so me and my team were at the headquarters, right?



Kell:  The alarm starts going off in the middle of the afternoon.  Assuming that we're being raided, we immediately go grab out gear, throw on suits, all that.  As it turns out, it was the guy we were hunting come to give himself up!  We never did figure out why he came in, though I have suspicions...





Kell:  So that WAS you.
Nick:  Oh yeah.  I was still in the middle of growing my own business, and that guy was kind of in the way.  I felt that the safest way to handle it would be to threaten him, but put your agency's name on it instead.  Worked out for me really.



Kell:  A good plan actually.  We never did figure out exactly why he came in.  I thought it might be your handiwork, but at the time we weren't working together, so I didn't look into it.





Nick:  Speaking of working together,  *rambles off into detailed plans*

[Playalot]

Oh... I just have to jump forward and say...Noooo not Richard.  That really sucks. 

Ok. back to all the rest! Gosh, soo many updates. The kids have grown up cute. Zara is a rather, um, well built alien I must say!! And Nick just keeps looking better and better. Although I'm not sure if a secret agent and the crime boss should chat over tea about what's what! 

[Nettlejuice]

Not, Richard  RIP, buddy. Wow, Zara is definitely a creepy stalker. Amira and Ray are both gorgeous, I love that hair on her.

[Ferretmania]

Aww RIP Richard, you will be missed.

Zara is ehm a very interesting build alien, a bit creepy  I think.

Nick, looks great as usual, and both kids look so cute.
