Broke in Bridgeport: A Townie Decadynasty, Graveyard, please

0.1  The Prologue

The little girl was an only child of highly social parents, but she was happy.
Even as her parents never seemed to openly share news of their business ventures with her, she was still happy.



Her parents' focus on the limelight constantly pulled them away from her, but she was happy that they were happy.
One day, her father finally shared with her that he had gotten a lot of money together and was opening a tall tower:  a tower in which to keep his little princess...



and she was ecstatic!
But the longer they had her tower open, the less happy her parents seemed to get.



There was yelling and crying now.



The little girl wasn't sure what it was all about, but she knew she didn't like being around it.



She began to stay off in the shadows and grew more and more accustomed to being ignored.  In fact, her mommy didn't even know her little girl was sitting there in the shadows the day she left her baby girl and husband behind.



Her father disappeared shortly after.
The little girl was fortunate enough not to see what became of him.



He had been borrowing far too much money to repay from some less-than-reputable lenders.
When a family friend bought the tower, he offered to let the little girl stay there...and that's where she still is today...

Awesome intro! I'm intrigued  :D
Very interesting beginning!
Looking forward to this....in Bridgeport. Best of luck.
I know who your founder is but I'll keep my lips sealed. ;)

Great start!
Thanks, everyone!  It's nice to be back on the forum and to feel the support of friends.  I've missed you all.
I didn't think I'd seen anyone had done a decadynasty in Bridgeport, so I decided to give it a go. 
Thanks for not spilling the beans, Trip  ;=)

Broke in Bridgeport: A Townie Decadynasty, Chapter 0.2 The Calling

0.2  The Calling



Pippin:  (Things are about to turn around for the little girl from all those years ago.)   Polly Maloney, we need to talk.



Polly:  I'm sorry, who's talking to me?
Pippin:  Oh, that's right.  I keep forgetting I manifest as an incorporeal voice with no visible presence here.
Polly:  Okay.  I think we're done here.



Pippin:  No, wait.  I'm your Watcher.
Polly:  Really?  Why would I have a Watcher?
Pippin:  Because you are the glorious Sim I have chosen to be the founder...foundress...founding person...Sim...of my first successful decadynasty!
Polly:  And that implies you've failed at them before?
Pippin:  Oh...umm..yeah...but anyway, I've got it planned out way better this time.  It'll be great.  Are you in?
Polly:  Why would you want me?  My mom was the pretty one, my dad was the ambitious one.  Of course, they both left.
Pippin:  But you're the girl who stayed.
Polly:  Isn't that an episode of Doctor Who?



Pippin:  No, you must be thinking of The Girl Who Waited, the episode where Amy was...wait, I got distracted...what were we talking about?  Oh, yes!  You're the founderess of my decadynasty.
Polly:  Wouldn't it technicaly be my decadynasty?
Pippin:  Okay, joint custody.  Anyway, let's get your makeover started!
Polly:  No.  If I'm going to do this, I'll be doing it just as I am.  No revamped Polly, just plain ol' me.



Pippin:  Hmm, well, that's not how I'd planned it, but why not.  Just you.  Exactly as you are.  Can we dye your hair red?
Polly:  No.
Pippin:  Fine.  Well, I guess it's time to go find true love, get married, and start a family.
Polly:  Within about a 2 day span?
Pippin:  Well, I wouldn't want to rush you, but yes.  Or the first day, if you'd prefer...



Pippin:  And we're off to a great start!





Pippin:  So, any winners?
Polly:  Not yet...oh wait a minute...



Rafael:  Well, hello there.
Polly:  Chest and handsome to you as well.
Rafael:  What?
Polly:  What?  I mean, wanna come to my place?
Rafael:  Well, I like a woman who knows what she wants.
Polly:  Yes, wants. 



Polly:  I want dinner.  I'm hungry.
Rafael:  I could take you some place for dinner.
Polly:  Nah, I've got yogurt in the fridge at my place.  You're sleeping over, right?
Rafael:  Well, this escalated quickly.
Pippin:  Raf, you have no idea how quickly.



Pippin:  And the man of her dreams slept over at Polly's place...



Pippin:  on the couch.
Polly:  What can I say, I'm old fashioned.  No sleeping together until we're married, which requires us to have known each other for at least part of two consecutive days.
Pippin:  Okay, it's day two, he's in the bathroom, matrimonial ambush time!



Pippin:  Caught him right before he was leaving for work.  Now that's timing!
Raf:  Is that gorgeous ring for me?
Polly:  No, I get to wear it, you just get to marry me.
Pippin:  You may now kiss the bride.



Pippin:  Well, the bathroom nuptials are completed.  Time to get started on the first heir.
Polly:  Way to be romantic, Pippin.
Pippin:  You proposed in the potty.
Polly:  Touche.
