Haha, thanks! I'll hopefully be updating tonight, if my internet behaves for long enough.

Too Many Teenagers



Hazel: Oh! You're back!

Yes, yes I am. You don't get away from me that easily, missy.



I think she's quite a nice mix of both of her parents. She gained the green thumb trait to go with loves the outdoors, eco-friendly and neurotic. She can now also start on her supermax skill of gardening.

Hazel: Plants will help us to save the planet, and if I'm outdoors I can be with my plants. Although I need to go and check the cooker first!

See?



Harry's turn at the cake.

Harry: Please stop blowing that in my ear. Please.



Another good mix of the two parents. He's flirty, athletic, a virtuoso and ambitious.

Harry: Basically, I am the ideal man.

And he has big-headed as a hidden trait.

Abbie: You can't be serious about going out like that!



But wait. We're only halfway through the birthdays. AstroBoy is up next. I have no idea how he's going to cope as a teenager with a name like AstroBoy.

AstroBoy: You know, neither do I.

And to top it all off I didn't even take a CAS picture of you.

AstroBoy: That's okay. I know I'm the best looking anyway.

Another one with the big-headed trait.



And lastly, Savannah. By this point all anyone's done today is have birthdays, and Abbie's had to leave for the carpool to her job at the bistro.

Savannah: Save the best till last.



She loves the outdoors too. Yellow might be her favourite colour, but it had to go in favour of something which clashed less with her hair. Her traits are loves the outdoors, neat, over-emotional and I think friendly.



The first few days of teen life are uneventful. AstroBoy is the best student and does his homework first thing on getting through the door.

AstroBoy: What? I like homework.



Hazel is... Okay, Hazel is stealing produce from the science centre.

Hazel: It's all part of my master plan.

When your sims start having plans that you don't know about, that's when you worry isn't it?

Hazel: I worry all the time. It's good for you. Let out your inner worry!

And when they start giving you advice...



And then she plants her stolen produce in the back garden. Have you even asked you parents?!

Hazel: Nope.

Good. I think. Abbie!

Abbie: I'm busy.



Abbie: You can't wear that. Look at it. Your jumpers half tucked in, your jacket is a mess, your jeans are practically hanging around your knees instead of your hips and that hat! It's not even on straight! Let me sort it out!

Harry: Mum! Gerroofffmee! (translation: get off me)



Savannah and Hazel are BFFs and love pillowfighting. If I ever can't find one of them, they'll usually be beating each other up with pillows.



Is that hat permenentely glued to your head?

Harry: Shuddup, you're like my mum.

No. I'm WORSE than your mother. Much worse.



AstroBoy: *sings* la la la, lala, la la la la...



AstroBoy: Who did this to me?! They will pay! Paaaaayyyyyyyy!

Dum dum dum...

Author's Note:

Like my legacy, this story will be having much fewer updates over the coming weeks thanks to work deadline, exams, my dad's wedding and a trip to visit my best friend. I'm going to try and update occasionally still, but there might not be much more until May.

[ratchie]

You are so funny. Given some of the name we manage to give our Sims I think Astroboy will fit right in at school. In one of my games Claire Ursine called her daughter Windy.

Cakes Should Come With Hazard Warnings



Cruz: These paparazzi! They won't leave me alone!

Erm, maybe that's because you're outside in your speedo. Again.

Cruz: It's a violation of my... oh wait. So I am. It's all your fault.

Mine?

Cruz: Yes. You made me water Hazel's garden for her.

Yes, but I didn't say you should do it in your speedo.

Hector: Oh no. You are not having me water somebody else's plants.

No, I'm not. You're weeding them.



Harry: And this is how you impress girls. Athleticism, a bit of flirting, then serenade them with your guitar.

Conrad Stubbs: If only you could actually play it. *coughs* I mean, that's awesome.



What are you doing, missy? Shouldn't you be on the bus?

Sapphire: You'll see.



Sapphire: I'm doing the time-honored trick of blowing out your candles before school so you don't have to go in for your last day. It's foolproof.



Sapphire: HELP! HELP! FIRE!

What did you say about foolproof?

Sapphire: FIRE! We're all going to die! Help!



Abbie: To the rescue!

The fire is put out by Abbie, and normal service resumes.

Abbie: And this is why cakes should be used only with adult supervision and with the appropriate risk assessments filled in.

Sapphire: Would have been an adult if not for stupid cake.



Her next attempt at aging up goes much smoother, although she's still keeping her eye out for any exploding cakes.



Once again, what are you doing? Shouldn't you be inside graduating?

Sapphire: Isn't he gorgeous?

Gorgeous or not, it's graduation...



Maybe I'll just leave you to it.

[loveSims]

This is so funny! She look so smug before she blows out the candles and then the cake catch fire. Awesome update.

[ratchie]

Let that be a warning to all the kiddies out there,trying to get out of going to school can only lead to a firey death or possibly being grounded whichever is worse.

I know, she thought she was going to get away with it... The look on her face as she cleaned up the charred cake was priceless, wish I'd got a screenshot of that.

Harry wants me to tell you being grounded is way worse.

Saturday Night at The CrumpleSteel's



*camera pans*

What are you doing now? I told you to have a bath, you're singed...oh, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hector: Just for once. Just for once you could have not been rude. I'm becoming an elder but still! Constant griping!

Sorry, H.

Hector: Hmmpf.



*camera pans*

Cruz: No, wait! I don't want to have a birthday, I saw what happened. You have to walk around in your pants like him!

Hector: Great. I'm going to move out.

Sorry love, you're the headstone. It means you're important.



*camera pans*

Oh Harry. What did you do?

Harry: Toilet-papered the headmaster's office. It looks awesome, there's paper everywhere and it's impossible to move anything! But then the janitor caught me taking his toilet paper.

Haha. That's hilarious.

Harry: Isn't it? He's just a boring old man!

I suggest you toilet paper his office next!

Policewoman: You're not setting him a very good example, are you?



*camera pans*

Abbie: No, shove off. You don't need to see this.

If you insist. There are too many birthdays around here anyway.



Erm, Hector?

Hector: What?

You know that hair dye? I think you missed your eyebrows.

Hector: You mean you missed my eyebrows.



Cruz: Ow ow ow ow ow.

Tattoo Artist: I haven't started yet.

Cruz: Oh.



AstroBoy: Erm, so, prom. Do you like proms?

Pamela: Yes, I've got this lovely green dress. Would match your hair perfectly.

AstroBoy: Oh.

That's a hint.

AstroBoy: Shut it. I'm getting there. Erm, do you want to go with me then?

Pamela: I'd love to.



Sapphire: So, I was thinking. I like you, you like me, you've just moved into a place of your own, I want to leave this madhouse...

Sapphire's Prey: You want to go on holiday?

Sapphire: No, I want you to ask me to move in with you!

Young love...





So Sapphire is moving into a house just down the street with her new boyfriend, AstroBoy is the only one to have a date for prom tomorrow, and what is Harry doing?



Harry: Playing the invisible keyboard.

Obviously.

[ratchie]

Air piano playing what a cool new concept Harry. That was a whole lot of birthdays you had there I bet that took all day to get through.

I really love your sense of humour I get the feeling we find the same things really funny.

Rachel

[Lunarpixels]

I really love this story! and i love your sense of humor!

That one was alright, compared to all four teens in the house aging up to YA on one day. I often get told I have a strange sense of humour. I find glitches mostly funny. The invisible piano is still invisible!

I really love this story! and i love your sense of humor!

Thanks!

Hazel's Update



Aren't you meant to be working towards your requirements?

Hazel: I decided that if you wouldn't come to me, I'd come to you.

What do you mean?

Hazel: I'm the heir, and there was no mention of me in the last update. So, if you'll excuse me...

Stop chasing me with your bike!

 *grabs camera*

Hazel: My name's Hazel and I'm the heir of this here DecaDynasty. My great-grandma Agnes and great-grandpa Chris started it off, then my grandad Sam, my Mum Abbie, and then me. This all means that Harry, my twin brother, is...

Harry: So, so much better.

Hazel: Oi.



Hazel: So the day before our birthday we had the biggest night of a teenager's life, prom. Only AstroBoy (Harry's imaginary friend made real) had bothered to get a date, so the rest of us (me, Harry, and Savannah, my imaginary friend made real) went stag. Pamela came round to ours to get ready, and us girls all jumped in the limo as soon as it arrived, because we were all really excited. The boys took FOREVER.

Harry: I was doing my hair.

Hazel: You wore your hat.

Harry: So?



Hazel: Anyway. We all got to the prom on time despite those two and had a great time! I got a romantic interest, Shona. Everyone else was boring though. AstroBoy was kissing Pamela all night and Savannah and Harry kept disappearing on me.

Harry: Because you were boring and dancing with Shona.

*the camera is dropped, and arguing can be heard in the background*

If you two can't be sensible, I'll have that back thanks.

*picks up camera*

Yes, it was an eventful prom for all concerned. In other household matters, it being a Sunday Abbie was at the bistro, and Hector and Cruz were having some brotherly bonding time.



Hector: Brotherly slave labour time.

Of course you can't have a dynasty chapter without birthdays, so...

Hector: You could too.

...carrying on... Hazel's young adult birthday.



Hazel: I wish for... no, wait, if I tell you it doesn't come true.

Now we know why everyone's wishes for good hair always fail.



Hazel: Wellll, there's something to be said for this look.

Abbie: And it's not anything good.



Harry's up next.

Harry: To not having to go to school!



Harry: I didn't wish for fire!

So yep, that's two cake fires in less than a week, having never had a cake fire before in any of my games.

Harry: What?

Yep, it's weird isn't it?

Harry: No! We're not the first family you've played? I feel... I feel cheated!



Hazel: HOW DARE YOU! Skipping school to try and age yourself up early! You're grounded! You'd better help out around the house to get on my good side!

Harry: Erm, sis, you did the same thing about five minutes ago.

Hazel: Oh yeah. Don't mind me.



Harry's second attempt at aging up goes much more smoothly.

And now for a quick advert break while we wait for Savannah and AstroBoy to come home from school and age up! Don't go away!

[alex51299]

Aww I wanted to see their makeovers! Lol jk, great update.

[loveSims]

Very funny update lol! Can't wait to see the makeovers.

[ArianaJade]

Side Effects

Makeovers are in this chapter!



AstroBoy: I'm glad the adverts are over. Holding this pose was beginning to hurt.

He ages up well, gets a job at the hospital, and then moves out. I would show a makeover picture, but he wears the exact same outfit now as he did in his teen years.



Savannah: Stop following AstroBoy to see which house he moves into and pay attention to me! It's my birthday!

Oh. Sorry.

Savannah: I suddenly want to learn the guitar.

That'll be a side effect of your LTW.

Savannah: *picks up packaging* They ought to list the side effects on the packets of these things. It's irresponsible to sell a LTW without giving full information about what it might do to you. I wonder what else they're trying to hide?

Like they're trying to hide that a LTW to max charisma and guitar might make you want to learn guitar?



Savannah's makeover.





Hazel's makeover.



Harry: Don't mind me.

I wasn't.

Harry: Good. I'm hiding here to avoid a stupid girly makeover. I just pulled on the first clothes I found, that's how I roll.

Hazel: We can tell.

Shh. Let him think he's cool.

Harry: I am cool. Just a moment ago, I was recruited into the music career! Rock super-stardom here I come!

You've got a long way to go yet, love.



Harry: Hehehehehe.

My word processing programme doesn't think that's a real word, Harry.

Harry: Hehehehehehehe.

Or that.



Savannah: OI! Come back here with my clothes!



Savannah: Give me my clothes back. Now!

Harry: Awww, don't be so stroppy.

Savannah: I'll stop being stroppy when you stop being so immature.

Harry: I'll make it up to you?

Savannah: How?







Hazel: If you want something less awkward to watch, I've just completed my first gardening skill challenge. 75 perfect harvestables.

If you hurry, you can get down to the consignment shop and sell them tonight.



Hazel: I'd like to sell my harvest, please.

Cashier: I hate my job.

Hazel: Umm.



In other news, Abbie went to a party and found Monika Morris, still alive and kicking in Gen 3. She's one of maybe four or five original townies still left.
