Chapter Seventeen - Everyone needs good neighbours

Lets just get right into it shall we? Righty-o then. More Vulcan-ness coming your way!

"I hate you Vulcan. I hate your house....I'm sorry. Of course I don't hate you baby. Forgive me? I still hate YOU Vulcan!"

Imaginary Lee makes an appearance. Of course it's patently obvious that he hasn't done the creepy newpaper stealing thing before. He thinks he's being so sneaky.

Of course, what he hasn't taken into consideration is the fact that Bryn's teenaged daughter is outside in her PJ's talking to the exterminator in order to have her way with him once she hits college.

"Hey! What the blazes do you think you're doing? You're going to put our man-maid outta work you crazy man! I demand you put that back right now."

Of course all Imaginary Lee hears is "Blah blah blah blah" as he sprints off into the distance. But at least Chardonnay gave it a try, even if she is too nice to use swear-words. I woulda sworn at him. Then again, much like the Vulcan's, we kinda just leave the newspapers down by the mailbox until we have enough to be collected.

Imaginary Me has no clue what is going on. I think she's much happier that way. I also think she's much happier after she's bought a kazillion rose bouquets. She's innocent really. I defend her honor!

Our first scaring! And of course Hennessy is thrilled to bits. Although I am a bit worried. I have yet to see Tommek or Breanna.... I think they are trying to locate the heavenly bed-springs. Clouds don't need much support really.

"I am the dread pirate princess Chardonnay! I demand you give me your gold and your sexy exterminators!"

For some reason Chardonnay decided she wanted a parrot. I decided that if she must have a parrot, it would be called Van Cleef. Happily they have fixed the OMG die parrot syndrome, so VC is managing to survive....so far.

I was so focused on getting the kids their scholarships I almost forgot the most important thing. Iata Pi membership. So I had Bryn phone-stalk Genisis until they were friends again, and then let Chardonnay do her thing. Genisis has never had it so good. I think she has 3 whole friends now, all of them related. (Paden is also her friend.)

Hey Brandi, wotcha doin?

"Gardening."

Why?

"Cos I felt like it."

You ever going to wear clothes?

"Not if I can help it."

Brandi was obviously looking for something to do, she autonomously decided to tackle the mammoth task of tending the family gardens. (It used to be a lot worse, you should have seen the flowers under the giant bonsai tree.)

"I am so smart! I am so smart! Everyone look at me, cos I am so smart!"

Hennessy constantly rolls up wants for skill points. And given that he already had enough for scholarships it was very easy to take him to the next step. Hopefully that will keep the little blighter in platinum until he heads off to college.

Still at it huh?

"Of course. This is a very important area of the house. Future generations of my descendants will one day marry here and have more descendants. Possibly not here, but in the bathroom so you can't get any good pictures."

Oh kaaay.....

"Wait. I spent all that time and energy making the place where the horrors of marriage will be performed? I plead temporary insanity!"

But you and Bryn have a happy marriage. All the woohoo you could want. You saying it's horrible?

"Horrible in the fact that I will never make out with 3 different sims yes!"

I never mentioned this at the time, but Brandi's new lifetime want was the woohoo 20 sims. Not happening let me assure you.

The business is up to rank six, and Bryn and Brandi are working their little pixilated fingers to the nubbins trying to keep up with the demand for Rose Bouquets. Once they hit Elderhood, I mean to have them retire and work at the shop full time. so they can afford to buy a beach-side vacation home in the tropical Twikii Island.

Be sure to tune in again. The twins need to head off to college soon. And I think that Bryn and Brandi will soon transition into the frisky elders I know they want to be. Have fun and keep outta trouble you crazy kids!
