Re-Enchanted: An Immortal Dynasty (Failed)

Chapter Three: We All Have Our Part To Play

Dear Nettie,


The garden is coming along quite nicely. The cherry trees haven't matured yet though the Landgraabs aren't too fuss as they're kept busy with the few plants they've managed to grow. They work great as a team, one weeding while the other waters and harvests. When they have time to spare it's used reading fishing books so the coming weekend can be spent in catching angelfish.





Mal finds time to amuse himself trolling forums. As long as he keeps up with his studies I'm not bothered by it.





I've re-joined the astronaut career and proceeded to build the HMS Falcon II. I spoke loving words to her in hopes we would be together for the rest of this Dynasty. If she isn't treated with the love and respect she deserves I have no one but myself to blame if we crash.





All night and early the next morning I stayed to complete my ship. I buffed the surface until my arms were like lead and I couldn't lift them anymore.





I'd also worked up quite a sweat and took a long and luxurious bath before getting ready for work.





Mal worked out his frustration of being forced to attend school every day in his usual way. If no one bothers to repair the doll-house he does it himself just for the satisfaction of destroying all over again.





His cooking was improving and Grunkle Geoff made sure to praise him. Fish Tacos. A reminder of Bigby Bear.





I felt depressed thinking of what was and what could have been and went to see Grampy Gavin - he insists on being called just Gavin - and was offended when I suggested he try writing for children. *sigh*





Everyone had plans for the weekend and I had mine too, I'll tell you all about it next time.


Love, Kessy H Chant.

Great so far, I didn't read the previous attempt but I will be reading this one!

@Artsygirl No worries, I make small references to my previous attempt so hope that doesn't confuse new readers

Chapter Four: Saturday

Dear Nettie,


I started the day at the Calientes. I waited for them to desperately need the bathroom before pulling off the noxious cloud trick. Katrina never made it to the toilet and wet herself by the stairs.





After revealing that Don was dating her and both her daughters she asked for advice on how to deal with him. Throwing drinks successfully was a great start. Sorry Donny, but it was you who taught me in the old world.





Later that day I'd arranged a date with Mitchell Kalani. We're both bros but have conflicting views on staying active - he'd rather watch the comedy channel than go running.


I can't believe anyone as attractive as you would want to date someone like me.


Mitchell, your weight has nothing to do with it. I feel like you're the only guy in the whole universe meant to be for me.





Mitchell was slightly embarrassed. I'm not sure why as Zoe Patel is his roommate and he has no problems speaking with her. He excused himself to freshen up - perhaps to actually calm himself down in the mirror.


Dennis Kim had heard tales of the new girl in town picking fights and playing pranks on people. He felt it was his 'duty' to warn off scum like me. I wasted too much time arguing with him then noticed Mitchell was about to slink off.





Hey, wait. Listen, I want to tell you the truth. You know how there are Watchers and Dynasties?


He nodded.


Um... I'm a Dynasty founder. Actually I was the third generation heir but you know how it is with Watchers and all their First World problems. Stuff happened and now I have to start over and I thought maybe you'd want to be a part of it. I selfishly choose you, knowing there is no way Johnny is going to be my baby-daddy even if he was the last guy in the 'verse. Or Travis - he's in a love triangle with my Granny and Liberty.


His face fell. Anger was bubbling up inside him and then he just sighed and mumbled, Should have known, I'm the leftover no one wants.


Look, any girl would be lucky to have you, I know you make awesome drinks and Grampy Gavin always said you were one of the funniest guys he knew. I think you're more than perfect to be a founder spouse.





The timer counted down the last seconds of the date. I hadn't got nearly enough requirements done.


Not to worry, Mitchell said. We can have a do over if you want?


You don't mind going on another date with me after everything?


Of course not, you're the only person - well, girl - to show any interest in me. I'd love to go on another date with you.


I can't describe what I felt then, we both compared our schedules and planned to meet on Monday.





On the way home I bumped into Mr Kim. I paid him his due for ruining what could have been a perfect night and skipped home like a little school girl.





Love, Kessy H Chant.

[sdhoey]

LOL!! I loved that. I hope she treats him right. He's seems like a sweetheart.

[Nettlejuice]

@sdhoey Never played with Mitchell before, but I love him now.

Chapter Five: Sunday

Dear Nettie,


I got my revenge on Eliza and it tasted so sweet.





It tasted even sweeter when I clogged the drains, knowing full well I was on my way to completing my first aspiration.





I took some time off being mischievous to play the part of a space monster. The kids in town already know I'm the biggest prankster around and so with pride I gesticulated and jabbered in what I considered to be an alien language.





Then the kids got a firsthand experience at being mean and mischievous when a strange man watched them at play and I dealt with him in a violent way - I'm not just a prankster, I'm a protector as well. Later I learned he wasn't a tramp but one of the children's grandfather. My bad.





I haven't found any Voodoo Dolls yet. Granty Nancy tells me I can order them online but that takes the fun out of digging them up myself. In the meantime I love scaring Sims by pulling hideous faces - there are some who find it amusing and others who don't.






Love, Kessy H Chant.

Chapter Six: Grunkle and Granty

To NJ,


Kestrel says it's OK for someone other than her to write to you - she says she's bored with relating all the things that happen to her. I don't know what you might find interesting about my life. I have a beautiful wife and a son who, despite being evil, isn't such a bad young man.


While Kestrel had her weekend of mischief, my wife and I went fishing for angelfish.


Whoever catches the least amount of angelfish is buying dinner, Nancy said.





My wife has always been ambitious. I think she was a little upset about having to quit work but nowadays we have more time to spend together and that brought her around. It wasn't long before she caught a perch, squealing with delight and watching her smile reminded me of how I fell in love with her many years ago.





Kissing gourami. Honey, I caught something!





Time passes by too fast when you're having fun. I wasn't surprised when Nancy caught an angelfish. She looked so young and full of life as she turned to show me with pond water dancing across her face.


Looks like I'm paying for dinner.





We headed home to show off our catch and store them safely in the freezer. Kestrel hugged us both and Mal began planning our meals for the week based on fish recipes.


On Sunday we reserved the private room at the Blue Velvet. After placing our plates of fried salmon and a whole bottle of the best Meloire Grape Nectar, the waiter politely bowed and left us alone.


Nancy, my love, I don't know what we did in our previous lives but I hope it was as amazing as it has been for us in this life.


Ooh, Geoffrey, you're going to make me cry.





Honey, you look just as beautiful as the day we met, I rustled up a rose like a teenage boy on his first date.





Nancy swept me off my feet.


Back pain. Back pain.


Sorry, darling.





We gathered our small family to renew our vows.







I love you, Geoffrey, now and forever, she whispered.





From Geoffrey.

[sdhoey]

awwww. that was sweet!! 

[Shewolf13]

Awww, gotta agree with Shannon on that one.  That was very sweet!

[Nettlejuice]

@sdhoey and @Shewolf13 I figured since I was so horrible to them by having them divorce they deserved a better life this time.

Chapter Seven: Voodoo Child

Dear Nettie,


I succumbed to Granty Nancy's idea and bought several Voodoo Dolls from a specialist online. You don't need to guess where I went first.





Prepare to be tortured, Zesty boy.





Johnny was busy staring into my camera in what he believed was a sexy pose and singing, I'm too sexy for your camera.





He wishes.





The tiny part of Johnny's soul in the Voodoo Doll decided it'd had enough torture for one day.





It was time to move on anyway. Though I didn't count on Dennis turning the air horn back on me. My ears still hurt after that one blast.





Binding the Doll to him was as easy as pie I had to laugh like a cartoon villain.





Eric, don't laugh with her. The young lady is quite mad, she'll start having tea on the ceiling next.





Incontinence comes from old age and revenge, Mr Kim.





Guess who's b-a-a-ck?


Get out of my house.





Not before you pee yourself.





Oh! Oooh, there it goes. I'll get you for this, you little witch.





Check and Mate. You lose again, random woman.


It's Lillian, I told you five times already.





Love, Kessy H Chant.

[sdhoey]

She is so bad. Lol I love it

[Nettlejuice]

@sdhoey I love the Voodoo Doll, wish there were more interactions with it.

Chapter Eight: A Date To Remember

Dear Nettie,


I was exhausted after work and had a quick bite to eat before asking Grunkle Geoff to play chess with me. I must have been more tired than I thought because he beat me pretty fast.





I feel like I'm forgetting something.


Aren't you supposed to be on a date? I asked Grunkle Geoff.


Oh, sugar! Chess pieces scattered across the table as he hurried to go change. Two minutes later he was struggling with a tie and then gave up to brush his hair. Kestrel, I think you're also forgetting an important date.


Date? What date? I opened up the calendar app and there was that annoying alarm I'd kept snoozing all day: Date With Mitchy <3 I screamed and ran past a very startled Nancy, looking prim and proper in a gorgeous blue dress, and threw on fresh clothes. I used as much roll-on deodorant as possible and body mist on top of that before shooting out the front door.


I'm so sorry, please don't hate me! I ran up to Mitchell, breathing rapidly.





Relax, I don't hate you. I've been wanting to see you all day.





My hands that had been clenched into tight fists loosened and I sighed in relief. What I didn't expect next was Mitchell planting a kiss on my lips. Do I keep my eyes open or shut them? What do I do?





Just as quickly, Mitchell pulled away. Sorry, am I going too fast? It's just, I've wanted to do that since yesterday. I'm not very good, am I?





Huh? No, no. It was too ... brief.





This time I grabbed him and dramatically kissed him, much like one of the romantic films that make Mum cry her eyes out.





Mitchell, baby, will you be my other half for the rest of this Dynasty and beyond?


Why, of course I will.





I stayed on my knee with gravel poking marks as he admired the ring.





We kissed again and did a celebratory dance that was mostly shaking our hands together like excited little girls.






Then we slow danced under the stars while the steamboat slowly chugged its way across the river.


Not to be rude, Mitch, but you need a makeover. Right now.





Mitchell took a taxi to gather his belongings while I hobbled home - I didn't tell him he'd stepped on my toes several times and I was sure I'd lost all feeling in them. As I was getting ready for bed, Grunkle and Granty called for me to change into something formal - they were renewing their vows. In a trance-like state I changed, watched the wedding and tried my best to cheer and throw confetti then at last I crawled into bed, shattered from the day and nights events.


Love, Kessy H Chant.
