Thanks everyone! It's looking like the CrumpleSteels will be moving to Lunar Lakes very soon. But first, we have to finish the requirements...
Prom, Genies and a BoyBut firstly, before that exciting stuff, it's time for Ben's elder birthday.
Ben: That's not exciting? I remember a time when you were anxiously awaiting my birthdays...
See, he's got 'grumpy old man' down already.
And the first day of high school.
Anais: Where's Lexa got to? I can't believe she's keeping us waiting. We need to get on the honour roll! We can't be setting a bad impression by being late on the first day.
Kelsey: Is she in that police car down there?
Bus Driver: What police car? Oh. Ooops.
Lexa: It's not my fault I'm in the police car.
I bet it is.
Meanwhile, Eugenia is giving a long overdue makeover to a guy with an afro, one of the peasant French outfits from WA, and flippers.
Eugenia: Trust me, you'll feel like a new man!
I'm not sure why the pap needs to be there. I hate the paps.
Later that evening, Lexa has learnt from that morning's incident with the police (out before curfew had lifted) and was running away from the police in the graveyard. Policewoman is however more interested in her book than what Lexa has been up to, which is mostly laying booby traps. There are so many booby traps in the house that when she threw a wish to set 10 there weren't enough non-booby trapped items for her to be able to.
Lexa: It's not booby-trapping. It's my master plan.
Anais: It's surprisingly hard to meditate effectively when you're soaking wet.
May I ask why you're soaking wet?
Anais: It involves my dear sister and a sink.
Kelsey is also practicing her martial arts.
Kelsey: I never realised how deadly a weapon Mr Hand could be. I'm going to have to recruit him for the fight against the sharks. Wait, I have a deadly weapon attached to me?! Mr Hand! Don't turn on me!
Yes.
Anais: Doesn't breaking a block of wood with just your bare hand seem a little implausible?
Yes, but this is the sims. You can do all sorts of cool things in the sims, like be resurrected or become a vampire.
Anais: Except we can't, because they're both banned under the dynasty rules.
Who gave you the dynasty rules?
Anais: I feel so awesome.
Genie Simone: Are you sure?
Lexa: Of course.
Genie Simone: You're really quite evil, aren't you?
Lexa: I know.
Lexa: *to self* Wow. Someday I need to be able to shoot lasers from my eyes.
Lexa: *to self* But for now, bracelets of fire are a good enough compromise. *to genie* And this will do what I asked?
Genie Simone: I suppose so.
Lexa: Excellent...
Genie Simone: I wish I didn't have to grant every wish. Other occupations have moral opt-outs. I may have to petition the government.
Lexa: Mwahahaha! You will all be eternally miserable when I take over the world! Mwahahaha!
Eugenia: If I can tear you away from your doubtlessly highly important plotting for a moment, babe, it's time for dinner.
Lexa: Evil Empresses do not answer to 'babe', Mum. You are so uncool.
This is Anais ready for prom. She's excited about going.
And Lexa, who is probably plotting the downfall of prom.
Kelsey, meanwhile, becomes probably the first insane sim ever to go to prom in her formal dress.
And just to up the drama, here's the one teenage boy in Sunset Valley. He's going to have fun at prom, what with the triplets and three other teenage girls all with their eye on him.
