Author's Note: Oh geez guys, I am so nervous, I've been working on this project forever, and this ending for hours, I hope it's not a disappointment to anyone. I know I won't be winning any surprise twist ending awards, but I hope I'll earn a few smiles at least. Here it comes, the finish line for this impossibly long winded story.
Suspense and despair! No! I'm so glad that you're getting to finish your dynasty. As for the heat, try living in Georgia! Awesome update and way to be a little vixen by dropping a line about a new project with no hints otherwise. Hmph.
Thanks Rica, but if there's anywhere hotter than it is here, that's where I don't want to live at all
I feel like I'm melting already. I couldn't drop any hints about my new project last time, then what would I have to reveal in this update?
Noooooo! Velmoor must remain! No ending of awesome dynasties here! Well, ok but only if he continues in the next saga. I do so love Velmoor.
Thanks Joria, don't worry, Velmoor is far too crafty to end up fading away, even if I tried to delete him, he'd just outsmart me. Besides, one of his infinite copies is living in Union Cove, he'll never be gone!
Velmoor: Mwah ha ha, Sinker and I are totally unstoppable!
I can't wait to read your ending Juxt, I just can't believe you're almost there! I am so happy that Bebedora found love
And what of this new project? Do we get any clues or is it a surprise? No matter if we do or don't I certainly will be reading!
Thanks SassySimmer, luckily the waiting is over! There will be a healthy helping of clues, don't worry I won't keep you all in suspense while I work on my new project, you'll know what you'll be waiting for. Bebedora is very happy to have found love, I really thought she'd never find that Sim that made her feel that way.
I've been meaning to read this Dynasty for several months, but had never gotten around to doing it. If only I could've borrowed Velmoor's time machine so I could tell myself what a mistake that was! I should've read this ages ago! I've been cracking up so many times it's making my throat sore. (well, more sore) Your gnomes are particularly hilarious. I'm really excited that the end is near, as I'm looking forward to reading how this great Dynasty finally ends! Bravo, Juxta, bravo!
Thanks Audren, aww, I feel so special now, I'm glad you liked my story.
Velmoor: You have my permission to borrow my time machine, but getting into the Sims universe is your own responsibility, just cause I can make a time machine, doesn't mean I can make a matter to energy converter you know.
Lynnore (1): Hey handsome, how was your day.
Louis (1): Stressful, my roommate is not happy that I called things off with her. Apparently she thought it was more serious than it really was.
Lynnore (1): Well, I'll help you relax.
Louis (2): Your phone is ringing, should I put you down?
Lynnore (2): I'd rather you didn't, I'd rather stay in your arms than answer my phone.
ME: Hey look, the household's first vampire gnome!
Fangtasia: Say goodbye to the Teddy bears strewn about the house, I am the first of my kind here, but I will not be the last, Mwah-ha-ha!
ME: Bye teddy bears! You'll finally be the vampire gnomes I always wanted you to be.
Fangtasia: Hmm, this is not the reaction I was expecting for my evil plans.
Incarnations: This song is for all the vampires out there, it's called "All my heart, and blood, belongs to you!"
ME: Umm, eww.
Aeluna: Well, this is a vampire bar, so they're playing to their audience, be nice!
ME: Yeah, that would be more like ME, all sweetness and light.
Velmoor: OK fine, just keep your comments to yourself then, and let us enjoy our night out.
ME: What's that I hear, the moans of an ill Sim? Yeah, you enjoy this fine night out, haha!
Bebedora: Wow, as soon as I took over the bar tending, all the guys in this place left the band to get a drink! I must be getting a reputation for excellence!
ME: Or a reputation for being super pretty, and interested in younger men.
Bebedora: Oh dear, I hope they'll settle for a beverage, because my heart is spoken for, even though they are pretty cute...
Myron the Mysterious: It's like sitting around the campfire, but better, because there's a dragon involved, you see?
Buddy: Oh I do! The best light must be dragon fire light!
Sculpture Gnome: Hmmm... I believe it would take many examples of all different kinds of light to know that for certain, but this lighting does make me look somber and wise.
Fangtasia: Fear me, fear me! I've come to claim all the teddy bears as my progeny!
Myron: Shush dear, we're trying to enjoy this fabulous night, there won't be many more like it you know.
Fangtasia: Argh! Why does no one take my evil plans seriously!
Nathaniel (1): Wow, I am just the luckiest fellow in the whole world!
Bebedora (1): Now that is a view that any lady would drive across town for.
Nathaniel (1): What, the ocean?
Bebedora (1): Ha! No silly, you in your fabulous new clothes, now give me a snuggle.
Nathaniel (2): I wish I could look into your eyes like this forever.
Bebedora (2): But then you'd have no way to kiss me without bonking our noses. *Smooch*
Nathaniel (2): What can I say, when you're right, you're right!
Bebedora: I know that we probably won't have all the time together that we might like to have, but the time we do have together, I want you to be mine, my boyfriend, my love, my best friend.
Nathaniel: I can't think of any three things I'd rather be, of course I'm yours.
Fangtasia: Mwah ha ha, now you must fear me, for my daughters have arrived, and we will soon control all of the bears, and all of the world!
Myron: *Snort* Huh, wah? Oh, you've interrupted my nap in the shade! You cruel gnome!
Fangtasia: Well, it wasn't the reaction I've been looking for, but at least it's a reaction.
Buddy: Just wondering, you can't change me into a vampire can you? I like being a laundry bear.
Fangtasia: We shall see my fuzzy enemy, mwah ha ha, we shall see!
Sashyna: Well at least the only time you wear speedos now is when you swim, and I love your new hair cut. Welcome to our family Nathaniel, I'm so glad you could make Bebedora so happy.
Nathaniel: Thank you ma'am, she and I share so much in common, being together feels like having both halves of a whole back together.
Sashyna: That's so sweet, you remind me a bit of my Bronson, I miss him still.
Nathaniel: I know enough about him to know that's very high praise indeed, thank you.
Velmoor: I've got this new pill, and I'm almost positive it won't set you on fire this time.
Bebedora: Well, I know you need people to test your medicines, so I'll try it for you, but if you get me on fire again, I will yell at you so loud!
Velmoor: How many fiery pills can there be, I'm sure it'll be fine, you know, pretty sure... probably.
Piano Playing Patient: Oh dear, when I was kicked off stage by the band I realized how terrible my chest has felt lately, please help!
Velmoor: Yes, yes. I'm here to save the day, now hold still while I find out what's wrong with you.
Patient: Oh dear, I hope it's not something life threatening.
Velmoor: It's not, it's heartburn, I recommend you stop eating bar food for every meal, and start learning to cook for yourself.
Patient: Cooking? Myself?! I thought you said it wasn't life threatening, my life is over!
Velmoor: Drama Queen much?
Draigoth: There's a new dance move and it's sweeping the land, it's called "The arm whoosh"
Band: The arm Whoosh!
Draigoth: So bend your knees just as much as you can, and do the arm whoosh!
Band: The arm whoosh!
Draigoth: Thrown your arm far out, and let your hand fly up, it's called the arm whoosh!
Band: The arm whoosh!
Draigoth: Then throw your hip to the side, and wiggle your butt, we'll do the arm whoosh!
ME: The arm whoosh! This is the oddest thing I've seen happen at a gig, and I got a picture, I couldn't believe that all four sims did it at the same time, looking at this still makes me laugh.
Clockwork Orange: I've called this meeting because as you all probably know, the world is ending and there's nothing we can do about it.
Fangtasia: Finally someone who knows the scope and size of my evil plans!
Myron: Shush Fangtasia, this issue has nothing to do with you, none of your evil plans will come to anything, and you know it!
Fangtasia: Lies, my army of evil minions grows all the time! I will conquer this world.
Sculpture Gnome: I wonder if I make a fine enough piece of art, if it could save everything?
Buddy: I'd like to hope so, I love being alive.
Clockwork Orange: Well, the only one who could save us all is my good friend Velmoor, so I'm afraid that chances are that we are doomed.
Myron: I don't know, I've been around a long time, and Velmoor's pulled our bacon out of the fire a few times.
Clockwork Orange: He spends all his time lately locked in his workshop, yelling at a skeleton sculpture, trust me, we're all doomed.
ME: This project has been long, much longer than I thought it would be, and these Sims matter more to me than I would have thought possible. So before the reveal of how it all ends, I'd like to take a moment with each of them, and see how this Dynasty has affected their lives, and who they are.
Sashyna: I came to this town knowing what would happen, and before my son was grown, I knew that I'd had no idea what that foolish young girl was getting herself into. I've known all the best parts of joy, family, cooking, and the beauty everywhere in the world around us, and all the worst parts of life, when those I loved were finally taken away, one after another.
ME: Was it worth it? Would you do it again?
Sashyna: It was worth it, but no, I would never do it again, I've had my heart broken enough times, I don't need it doubled. But the parties and the love, the children, and great great great grandchildren, were all worth what we've had to give up to get to this point. But I'm glad it's soon going to be over, my marathon is done, and I'm glad the finish line is just ahead.
Draigoth: My mother always cared for me, I feel as though she's my best friend, our out door bedrooms are side by side, and most night we fall asleep after long conversations. I suppose I don't have much to complain about.
ME: Was it all worth it?
Draigoth: No, I'm afraid it wasn't for me, there's just too much I never had, never got to try, and the loss of my beautiful hero Karina, is still like a knife wound in my heart. If I could undo all that has happened, to have another chance at a life with her, and my beautiful daughter Cylliah, I would, no matter how much I love all the family that has come after, I want what I had back, I would trade immortality for one lifetime with my wonderful wife and daughters by my side again.
Aeluna: I miss my twin sister, ever since she died I feel like half a woman, no one could ever fill the hole in my heart since she passed.
ME: Was it worth it?
Aeluna: I suppose it was, Velmoor has always been a special child, and has needed me by his side all his life, I'm so proud of him, it overwhelms me. I'm honored to be his mother, and everything I've lost, doesn't compare to that feeling, that I raised someone who changed the world so much.
*Whirs and buzzes, flashes of electricity, and the clacking of moving parts.*
ME: So Velmoor what do you say? Was it all worth it?
Velmoor: You talk like it's all over, and you want a summation.
ME: Well yeah, the Dynasty is soon to be over, and I want to know how you all feel about what's happened.
Velmoor: I feel that for every cat tail, there is another cat face.
ME: What the heck does that mean?
Velmoor: It means don't try to eat your dinner until it's been made.
ME: What?
Velmoor: Or don't leave the party, until it's over.
ME: What are you planning? What is going on?!
Velmoor: Shh! Keep your voice down, you'll spoil my surprise!
Quain: I wish I could have learned more things, so that I could have taught more things, to more people.
ME: Was it worth it, are you happy?
Quain: It has been worth it, I had the love of a great woman, a wonderful daughter...
ME: Or two.
Quain: Huh? No just one daughter, I think you're confused. Anyway, I also had a wonderful career, where I touched the lives of every young citizen of Bridgeport, I've lived life to the fullest, I'm only sad that it's coming to an end. I wish I could do more of the same.
Nyarah: It may sound shallow, but I've loved being the center of attention my whole life, I love having a big family, and having all eyes on me.
ME: I guess I don't even need to ask if you think all this work has been worth it.
Nyarah: You really don't, being a star has meant more to me than anything else, and I've been immortalized not just in reality, but on the silver screen, dozens of times!
Lynnore: Life is about work, you get out of it what you put in, and I've put in a lot of work, and got so much more in return.
ME: So do you feel it's been worth it?
Lynnore: I do, no matter how hard the hard times have been, I have so many people who love me, not only friends, and family, who make my life complete, but a whole swarm of fans, who cheer me to victory at every game.
ME: Except that one when the elevator broke down, and your team lost.
Lynnore: *Pfft* You just had to bring that up didn't you?! Well, at least that let me know how vital I was to my team, stupid elevator!
Bebedora: Growing up in a big family is awesome, there always some to talk to, or something to hear about.
ME: Has it been worth it, all the work, and all the pressure for you to succeed.
Bebedora: There's nothing I would have done differently if there had been no Dynasty to do it for. I wanted to be the world's greatest bartender, I wanted to be a rock star. I guess my only regret is that Nathaniel didn't move here sooner, so that we could spend even more time together. I've never even lost anything to the ravages of time, my dad is still young and as healthy as the undead can be, life has been more than kind to me.
ME: So are you ready?
Bebedora: Every thing's done, and yes, I'm ready.
Bebedora: It smells like music, so wonderful, so perfect!
ME: Well, Sashyna has had a good bit of practice, hand making so many plates of it.
Bebedora: What do you know, practice does make perfect.
Bebedora: It's done, everything is done, I feel so relieved, but now that it's happened, I'm a little nervous, what's going to happen to us now?
ME: The cost has been high, and the road winding and long, but where one road ends, there's always another route to take, if you're determined enough to keep going.
*One moment, the graveyard is filled with graves, and then the next moment, they've disappeared.*
ME: So, I've gathered you here, at the Butterfly Esplanade so that we can decide what will happen, of course with this story's ending, it's completion, the book could close, and everything could end.
De D'Onlyn family: No!
Aeluna: The whole world can't end just because our work is done!
Quain: It's not fair!
ME: That's not the only option, just the first. I regret to inform you though, that this world is doomed, it's falling off it's axis, and tipping toward destruction, I can't control it, and Velmoor can't save it.
Sashyna: But you said there was another option!
ME: There is, this world is done for, but you can leave it, for a new world, where there aren't so many memories, and ghosts, but you have to want it. You have to all go together.
Draigoth: What would the new world be like?
ME: It would be what you make of it, this world has been bound in rules, keeping you all in the same house, and limiting your choices. The new world would be fresh, and ready to be shaped in any way you want it to be.
Aeluna: A new life, a life we could do anything with? Would we still be immortal?
ME: You'd keep what you've earned, and gain all that I can give you.
Velmoor: You know how I feel, I've worked for generation to give us this option.
Bebedora: A whole new world, who knows what could happen, anything could happen! I'm so excited!
Lynnore: A world where Louis and I could live together? I'd do anything, risk anything for that!
Nyarah: Well, it would mean a whole new audience for my brilliant movies, I think that would be pretty cool!
Quain: I'm worried, but I won't stop the family by saying no. I just hope that all the things I know don't get lost on the trip.
ME: I wish I could tell you I was sure that wouldn't happen, but not even I know what will be on the other side. So is it decided, do we try for a whole new world?
De D'Onlyn Family: Yes!
ME: To the future then, and all the joy that can be, will be!
De D'onlyn Family: To the future!
Velmoor: I'm the last, everyone's gone through, are you sure this will work for us?
ME: As sure as you are.
Velmoor: That doesn't make me feel any better about this. Well, here we go!
*As the last member of the family disappears, static and lightning begin to take Bridgeport apart, the world is truly doomed, ME closes her eyes as the cosmos disappears, and as the last speck of existence is erased, opens them to something new.*
Look out Bridgeport, here we go again!Next Time: Rules, what rules?! This new Bridgeport will be controlled by ME, and ME alone! And what does that mean for our favorite Bridgeport Dynasty? It means I will be setting up several new households, and giving these Sims everything their crazy little heads could wish for! I will be keeping track of each household fulfilled wishes and after playing with them for four weeks, I'll let your know how many they've managed to accomplish. For added excitement, I'm also going to be installing my copies of World Adventures, Generations, and probably Supernatural, so crazy new game play mechanics will be used for my next wacky adventures. So prepare yourselves, for weddings, for nooboos, for adventures of all kinds, all over this crazy place we call the world of Sims 3.
I hope all my wonderful readers will continue reading you have made all this time spent writing more than worth it, and I hope many of you are as excited as I am to start my new project.
