The CrumpleSteel DecaDynasty: COMPLETED 11/11/13

[ArianaJade]

Introducing Our Heroine



Agnes Crumplebottom is the most desirable lady in Sunset Valley, believe it or not. It's not because of her obsession with black clothes, her 1940s hairstyle, or her grumpy manner. It's more to do with her money, really.

Agnes: Oi! I'm a troubled but artistic widow!

In your mind, yes. In the minds of the young dynasty founders, you're a sugar mama.

Agnes: You're probably right. *looks around* Great. There's another one coming. I really think I should install a better fence. And possible buy a really fierce dog.



AJ: Hello, my name is AJ Syms. I know you're rich, so I've brought you some flowers. Fancy coming round to my empty field later in your car, so we can get married and sell it to build a house? You can paint all you like, and have children, because I need them for my immortal dynasty. It's an offer you can't refuse, right?



Agnes: GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!

AJ: Oh, right. *runs*

Agnes: AND STAY OUT!

Go Agnes! You know you could have had riches and a makeover, though?

Agnes: Yes, and then pop out babies, paint my brains out all day, and eventually die while my husband lives forever. Or, if I'm really lucky, I get to sculpt all day as well as paint.

This is a fair point. Why don't you have a makeover anyway?

Agnes: Are you trying to say I'm unfashionable?!?

Erm.... yes. Yes I am actually.

Agnes: You do have a point. And anyway, I'm bored of the brooding widow act now. I'd prefer a life. You know, one where I don't become Miss Haversham or marry some clueless kid.

That's my girl. Up to the mirror we go!













Beautiful!

Agnes: I should so become a stylist. Or maybe a dinosaur hunter.

I'm not sure I need to know the link between those two, Aggie.

Agnes: If you won't question that, I won't question why there's a voice talking to me.

Deal.

Agnes: Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go and do some spouse hunting of my own.

*five minutes later*



Chris: No! I don't want to marry you and have your kids, then fish and cook all day so you can become immortal! Get out!

Agnes: I see I'm not the only one with this problem. Maybe this means he'll take to my plan better.

You have a plan? Why am I scared by this?

Agnes: Have faith, woman. It's not like I'm going into battle against the dinosaurs.

What is it with you and dinosaurs?

Agnes: Shhh. (To Chris) Hello. Agnes Crumplebottom. I see you have a dynasty founder problem too.



Chris: For you, Agnes, yes I do.

[sdhoey]

I like this... Never would have thought of opening one that way with these two! LOL Good job

[MarianT]

Good start! I enjoyed your humor. Agnes and Christopher might produce a very cute nooboo.

[Pam]

Very clever introduction.  Good luck with the rest of your story!

[Gogowars329]

That was a very good story. I loved the fights with the two dynasty founders. Although, aren't you technically making them to do a dynasty still?

[Pam]

That was a very good story. I loved the fights with the two dynasty founders. Although, aren't you technically making them to do a dynasty still?

True, but it's not an Immortal Dynasty. 

[alex51299]

Great start, can't wait to see more! 

[loveSims]

Great start! Can't wait for the nooboos.

[iCastl]

I never knew Agnes was so pretty!
Great  start  I love that you're going to mix up these two!
Can't wait for an update.

[ratchie]

Great start to your story. I think the Crumplesteels will be very happy together,plus they don't have to do anything really except provide an heir and a gravestone.
Decadynasty founders have it a lot easier then immortal dynasty founders.

Rachel

[ArianaJade]

Thanks for the comments, everyone. I've never played either of these sims before, and they're turning out incredibly easy to play and write. They don't know they're doing a dynasty yet. I'm not sure I dare tell them.

First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage...

I can't help but think you're being a little bit hypocritical here, Agnes.



Agnes: Flowers?

No, wait. You're being very, very hypocritical.

Agnes: You know, other watchers are silent.

You know, other watchers would make you marry a self-important dynasty founder.

Chris: This is all a dream, right?

Agnes: I can prove it's not.



Chris: No, wait, still not sure I believe you. Another kiss?

I didn't realise anyone even used chat-up lines as awful as that anymore. Please tell me that's the only one. Eww. Get a room, you two.

Chris: This is my living room.

Agnes: Back to my place?

Chris: You're so pretty. I mean, yes.

*twiddles thumbs, because Chris is riding a bike*

--Agnes' Place, 3.15pm--



Agnes: We've known each other almost four hours now. How about getting married?



Chris: Squeeeeeeeeeeee!

The Sims really does promote unrealistic expectations of dating. If I proposed to someone I'd met four hours ago it'd probably be classed as harassment.

Agnes: Makeover time!

Yay! Can I help? Please let me help!

Chris: Women! Why do women always want to do makeovers!





--3.25pm--

Agnes: I, Agnes Crumplebottom, do take you, Christopher Steel, to be my lawful wedded husband...



I leave you two alone for five seconds...



No, really. Get a room.

Chris: Okay!



--The Next Morning--



Agnes: I feel sick...



Chris: I told you a pink and lilac living room was a terrible idea.

Agnes: ...



Yay! Nooboos!

Agnes: Yay! I can't wait!

Chris: NOOBOOS?!?

[loveSims]

I wonder if the nooboo will get the Chris lips. Great update!

[ArianaJade]

It's Baby Time



Agnes: Awwwwwwwww.

You haven't seen it yet.

Agnes: Look at it's parents. The two most desirable Sims in the whole of Sunset Valley. It's going to be adorable.

Much as I hate to admit it, you're probably right. Do you know what you're having yet?

Agnes: Keeping it a surprise. Mostly because Jamie Jolina and Geoffery Landgraab always seem to be out.

--Two days later--



Chris: You're sure it's a baby right? Not a beach ball? A melon? A cleverly disguised pillow?

Agnes: Sorry love. It's really a baby.

Chris: I'll be in the garden.



Chris! Chris! Come inside, Agnes is having the baby!



Chris: Ahhhhhhh! It's disgusting!

That's Arlo Bunch. Agnes is at the hospital.

Chris: Oh. Sorry Arlo. Erm... tell your mum I said hi?

Come on.



Agnes: Where have you been? I've had the baby already.

He's adorable. Name?

Agnes: Sam.

Chris: I thought we were calling him Megatron.

Agnes: No. Really, no.

Chris: But you promised! What's wrong with Megatron?!

Agnes: Everything.

Good call, Agnes.



Chris: Awwww, he's quite cute really. Wait... why is he wet? Oh... oh... my new t-shirt... it's everywhere...

Agnes: *giggles*

Chris: *mutters* If he was called Megatron that wouldn't have happened.

You keep telling yourself that, Chris.

Chris: I'll be in the garden.



--Three days later--



Agnes: How come you get to skip the sleepless nights, the endless wet nappies, the constant feeding and come right to the cute bit?

I didn't. You just couldn't hear me over the crying.

Agnes: He's going to look like his most attractive parent, I know it.

Chris: Yeah. Me.

And so modest.





Agnes: Definitely looks like his most attractive parent.

Chris: Why hasn't he got my lips?! All my babies have my lips! *pouts*
