Myshuno! 24: "It sucks to be me" (Avenue Q)
Prompt: "It sucks to be me" (Avenue Q)
Universes: A Buffyverse Apocalypse, The Boolpropian Round Robin Legacy: Generations Eight and Nine, Various Apocalypses, references to smoothiesims's Villainous Apocalypse
Word Count: 780
Notes: Yeah, this one's...a doozy. I may have gone just a little bit all out with this one, and while I suppose I didn't technically write a good portion of it, I did write enough that I think it counts. Also, I made it rhyme and scan and worked at it pretty much throughout my entire work day (admittedly interspersed with, you know, actual work stuff), so you do not get to say anything. BUT it is my blackout-completing ficlet, meaning that I have now completed every single sim_spiration challenge this year, as well as completing Myshuno! three years in a row. So clearly I am awesome...even if my sims don't always think so.
ELLE
Morning, Liam!
LIAM
Hey, Elle.
ELLE
How's life?
LIAM
Disappointing!
ELLE
What's the matter?
LIAM
At the moment, how about everything?
ELLE
Oh, I'm sorry!
LIAM
Me too! I mean, look at me! I'm a fairly well-known sim, and I always thought...
ELLE
What?
LIAM
No, it sounds stupid.
ELLE
Aww, come on!
LIAM
When I was little I thought I would be...
ELLE
What?
LIAM
Married and happy and with kids one-two-three.
Instead I died and was brought back to life and so
I'm not.
ELLE
Nope!
LIAM
Oh well,
it sucks to be me.
ELLE
Nooooo.
LIAM
It sucks to be me.
ELLE
No!
LIAM
It sucks to be thrust into this life where I don't want to be.
It sucks to be me.
ELLE
Oh, you think your life sucks?
LIAM
I think so.
ELLE
Your problems aren't so bad!
I'm kinda pretty, and pretty darn smart.
LIAM
You are.
ELLE
Thanks!
I know my science from my labs to my charts.
I've learned so many things I'd like to impart.
So why have things been so terrible?
Shoot! It sucks to be me!
LIAM
Me too.
ELLE
It sucks to be me.
LIAM
It sucks to be me.
It sucks to be Liam...
ELLE
And Elle...
LIAM
To live in this hood!
ELLE
To have been through hell!
BOTH
It sucks to be me.
(enter Roxanna and Astraea)
LIAM
Hey, Roxanna, Astraea, do you have a second? Can you settle something for us?
ROXANNA
Sure, of course.
ELLE
Whose life sucks more? Liam's or mine?
ASTRAEA AND ROXANNA
Ours!
ROXANNA
We are twin sisters.
ASTRAEA
We're close as people can get.
ROXANNA
We're linked together...
ASTRAEA
Like dancers in a duet.
ROXANNA
So being separated made us really upset.
Oh, every day was an aggravation.
ASTRAEA
Leading to so much frustration!
ROXANNA
I had four children.
I had to raise them alone.
ASTRAEA
It's true!
Healing from my death - it hurt, even though it wasn't shown.
ROXANNA
It made things so very bad to live without you.
ASTRAEA
For me too.
We are better off as two!
ROXANNA
It sucks to be me!
ASTRAEA
It sucks to be me!
ELLE
It sucks to be me!
LIAM
It sucks to be me!
ALL
Is there anybody here it doesn't suck to be?
It sucks to be me!
(enter Buffy)
BUFFY
Why you all so happy?
ASTRAEA
Because our lives suck!
BUFFY
Your lives suck?
Am I hearing you correctly? Ha!
My life was perfect, as close as anyone got.
But then my sister died, and my life started to rot.
To keep the family going I had five kids with her husband!
Which I really didn't want.
I mean, seriously, I'm gay.
(smacking Liam)
And you made it all so much worse!
You'd think we lived under a curse!
It sucks to be me!
It sucks to be me!
I say it
Sucka-sucka-sucka-sucka-sucka-sucka-sucka-sucka-sucka-sucka-sucka-sucka-suck!
It sucks to be me.
(enter Rose)
ROSE
Excuse me?
LIAM
Rose? What are you doing here?
ROSE
Sorry to bother you, but I couldn't help but overhear you all complaining.
BUFFY
You should have, considering that we are your sims.
ROSE
Well, I know, but it's not entirely my fault!
Even I have to live with the rules.
LIAM
That's your excuse? Besides, there are even more people who are annoyed at you.
ROSE
Oh dear...
LIAM
Hey, guys, come on!
(enter a whole mass of people)
VARIOUS APOCALYPSE FOUNDERS
We're coming! We're coming!
ROSE
Oh my God! It's Various Apocalypse Founders!
VARIOUS APOCALYPSE FOUNDERS
Yes we are!
We founded apocs with different sets of rules.
We opened roads and baths and even a few schools!
And all we've been through makes us feel like we're just tools,
But we're here --
And rather annoyed!
At our simself creator --
ALL
It sucks to be you.
ASTRAEA
You win!
ALL
It sucks to be you.
LIAM
I feel better now!
VARIOUS APOCALYPSE FOUNDERS
Try having to go through too many adult starts.
(With no lifts at all.)
It gets old.
ALL
It sucks to be you.
Life as a sim.
(sucks to be me)
Life as a sim.
(sucks to be you)
Life as a sim.
(sucks to be us)
But not when we're together.
We're together here, it's all better now!
We've all gotten through!
Our friends have too!
Yes, we always knew,
That one day we'd always get through!
ROSE
I really do love you all!
ALL
We've all gotten through!
BUFFY
Maybe take up a new hobby, Rose.
ALL
We've all gotten through!
VARIOUS APOCALYPSE FOUNDERS
Yes, please, we're with Buffy!
ALL
Yes, we're up for something new.
