Last Time: Nicolai started fostering horses and reached the top of the Equestrian career. Seneca made his best-friend Hinto (randuhh) take Lorelei to the dance because he didn't want anyone dating his little sister. Nicolai and Georgia (simmypulsey) aged up and had mid-life crises. October and Elendil met the new girl, Melody ( ohmysims). Seneca asked Shara to the dance and they started dating. Speaking of the dance, Seneca's plan to keep Lorelei date-free backfired when she started seeing Hinto seriously. Zoya freed Yakeeb from magic lamp imprisonment. October got fed up with his IF Ripley, and everyone else got fed up with Elendil's Divaness. Finally, the twins aged into Teens and that's where I left you.
Please forgive this update for being so late. It's a little disjointed because I spent two months writing it. XD I hope the epic length makes up for its tardiness!
Let's begin!
Yakeeb: I heard it said - an untarnished abode is a most blessed abode.
That's not exactly what the saying is, Yakeeb...but we'll go with it.
Yakeeb: May it be! Sparkley, sparkley!
Sparkle party!

Zoya had a little birthday present for October the next morning.
Zoya: I finished this potion for you and Ripley! I even made a few extra. You know, just in case any more of those aliens show up in the mail and I'm not around anymore-
October: That's very touching, Grandmama. I'm sure future generations will appreciate that.
Zoya: Future generation.
October: Huh?
Zoya: Just getting meta.
October: Here ya go, Ripley.
Ripley: Gods, finally!
Not much fanfare to this process anymore, is there?
Ripley: How long does this take?
October: I dunno. An hour? *brushes off lint*
Ripley: ...I'm not boring you, am I?
Ripley: Yay, I'm a real boy!
October: Cool. I'm going to go practice my music or something.
Ripley's not the best looking IF I've ever seen, but he's kind of cute. He transformed into that hairstyle, so I let him keep it. I pointed his ears, gave him alien eyes and skin, and...that's it. I love how he has green hair like the Storms IFs too.
Lorelei: Elendil is sleeping in my room again.
He's still weirded-out by Ripley.
Lorelei: But...this is my room.
You guys. Wear some clothes. Your children are teens now.
The cockatoo can only distract so many people before you two are just ridiculous.
Georgia (simmypulsey): We can't have our morning woohoo because the hottub is broken!
Nicolai: Sad days.
I'm sure you can go a couple hours without it. Seriously.
Daria (NergoElle): Five star celebrity Zoya Storms?! This is good stuff.
Zoya: I got your text. There's a sim fest today?
Ember (scorpiosims): Yep! All day!
Yakeeb: How exciting! I am eager to see a magic show of this century.
Elvis: There isn't anyone on the stage...
Yeah, my sim fests glitch like everyone else's. BUT my sims still make the animations like they're watching something mind-blowingly awesome.
Are we having fun yet, Zoya?
Yeah, we're having fun. ♥
And because I promised scorpiosims, here is a recent picture of Ember as the proprietor of the only stage in Hidden Springs. Lovely. ♥ Thanks for having three daughters with Jasik, Ember.
Yakeeb wasn't impressed with the invisible magic show, so he floated home.
I must say that Yakeeb is very entertaining to have around. But I have no real reason to keep him in the house besides that.
With another school dance coming up, October decided he needed to be social, so he went to the library after school to do his homework. Rumor has it that the cool kids always hang out in the library.
But only his cool vampire cousins, Adria and Derik, were there. Definitely not material for school dance dates, sorry October.
He just hung out in the corner doing his homework on his tablet anyway.
On the way home, Toby gave up on being social and stopped at the Hidden Springs spa for some relaxation. Because living in an isolated mountain town is sooo stressful.
October: This is the life.
?: Hey, scoot over.
October: Wha-? Why? I was here first...I was hoping to be alone-
Sailor (simstrology): Too bad. When I set my mind to something, I make it happen. And this hot tub is happening. Along with taking over the world.
October: Right. Whatever.
Sailor: What's the matter? You don't like girls that want to take over the world?
October: Oh, I didn't say thaaat...
Sailor: Good.
October: No one should ever question how much I like strange, ginger girls that randomly get into hot tubs. And are bent on world domination-
Sailor: What the fuck?! Get your hands off me!
October: O-kay-!
Sailor: CREEP!
October: HEY! I backed off, didn't I?!
October: Gods. Either women are way more complicated than they're worth or I just can't read them.
I'm not going to give you any insight on that, Toby.
October: >:(
Sailor: :D
Me:
Elendil: My guitar skill will be epic by the time I get to auditioning. I'll be bigger than Jason Mraz.
October took his girl troubles out in martial arts.
October: I am zen! Or at least, semi-zen!
Poor Toby.
October: Are you all right? You were really kicking and screaming-
Seneca: I FEEL GREAT!
October: Seriously? I would have guessed you were having night terrors!
Seneca: NOPE, I FEEL SO FANTASTIC!
Ripley: ...zzz...no that gloss color is fantastic on you...zzz...
Survey still says Seneca had a nightmare, BUT HE DOESN'T LET THEM GET HIM DOWN!
Georgia: Have fun at school while I save our country, kids!
I am really into the ladies military uniform. Especially the hat.
Seneca: Hello, my lovely.
Shara: Hey. It's a beautiful day, right?! Perfect for the park.
Seneca: I dunno, I was hoping we could go out dancing-
Shara: Damnit, Seneca! I told you I wanted to go to the park-
Seneca: And we're at the park!
Shara: But I thought you'd plan something! Like, I say I want to go to the park? So you plan a romantic picnic-
Seneca: I...really don't want to do that. Seriously, let's go dancing!
Shara: Whatever! If that's what you really want to do, we can go, but I won't be happy about it.
Seneca: Are you having fun yet?
Shara: *glares and ignores*
Seneca: ...I'm going to go buy some drinks.
Seneca: Alcohol! And lots of it! I need to fix the mood, if you know what I mean.
Garrett (ariz): Coming right up.
Shara: Thanks for the drink, Seneca. Juicy, aren't they?
Seneca: Yeah. And they pack quite a punch. I think that guy over poured my drink-
With that cocktail, Seneca had an inclination on how his grandmother feels all the time.
Seneca: ♪ ♫ take me by the tongue and i'll know you / kiss me 'til you're drunk and i'll show you ♪ ♫
Seneca: ♪ ♫ i've got the mo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooves like jagger ♪ ♫
Seneca: UGH THESE PLANTS ARE LIKE SPIDERWEBS AND SHELOB!
Seneca: I think I want to go home- Oh, wait a minute...o.0
Seneca: Nevermind, let's continue to PAR-TY!
Shara: Is there a reason why you're wearing your nice sweater in a hot tub, babe?
Seneca: I want to soak in style.
Shara: O-kay. I guess I understand that.
Shara: Why don't you scoot a little closer to me...please?
Seneca: Well, since you said please...
Shara: *fist pump*
Shara: See you at school tomorrow?
Seneca: You bet! Drive safe!
Look who's proud of himself for losing his virginity at a dance club in a public hot tub.

Yakeeb: Where is everyone headed at this late hour? Perhaps we can engage together in a game of cards-
Nicolai: Nope. The hot tub is fixed. Let's go, Georgie.
Georgia: I'm way ahead of you.
Yakeeb: Then I shall retire early and become even more beautiful with extra sleep!
That's not quite what the saying means...
But okay.
Zoya: Did you have a nice night out, Seneca?
Seneca: The best, Grandma, thanks for waiting up!
Zoya: It's no problem. I was trying to see if your bed was sentient and controlling your dreams in case that was causing your night terrors-
Seneca: What?
Zoya: What?
Aw, poor Kendra. It's a good thing you can't die twice. ♥
Lorelei: Doing homework?
Seneca: Yep. School was brutal today?
Lorelei: Yeah, yeah. What else are you going to do today?
Seneca: I dunno. I might play Guild Wars. Why? Wanna play?
Lorelei: Nope. No. I, uh...I might work on my inventions for awhile. Yeah.
Seneca: Okay, good luck with that.
Seneca: C'mon, guys, we have to unite and kill the dragooooon....
Seneca: Dudes, this is a cooperative mission. Cooperative. Dudes.

Since Seneca is sufficiently distracted, Lorelei sneaks a moment with Hinto.
Lorelei: Hey, sugar. You're not chickening out, are you?
Hinto: No, I'm preparing. This is going to be perfect.
Seneca: Hey Lorelei, I have a question about the mesmer profeeee---I-I...yowza.
Seneca: What was it that I did saw there, oh gods, was that my best friend and my baby sister oh gods oh gods...
Seneca reacted appropriately.
Seneca: What the fuck, asshole?!
Hinto: Whoa-whoa-a-whoa! I wasn't...I wasn't trying to...I wasn't hurting her, man!
Lorelei: Seneca, what are you doing?!
Lorelei: What has gotten into you?!
Seneca: He had your hands all over you, Lori! My so-called best friend was taking advantage of you!
Lorelei: Seneca...I'm twenty-three days old and you are way out of line. If anything, I'm taking advantage of him.
Seneca: NO! No, Lorelei, you are too young to understand what's going on.
Hinto: I'll, uh, I'll talk to you guys later.
Nothing can break his spirit now.
Seneca: Please don't hate me, Lori-
Lorelei: *sigh* I don't hate you, Seneca, but I resent you for always trying to coddle me! I'm not that much younger than you!
Lorelei: Besides. I don't think you are in any place to judge. Rumor has it your so-called casual girlfriend has been pretty sick. When was the last time you called her?
Seneca: Who, Shara? I guess it has been a couple days...
Elendil: Do you know what I love about small towns?
Melody ( ohmysims): How it's easy to be the best singer in town when you don't have the competition holding you back?
Elendil: No. ...Well, maybe, but that's not what I meant. I love how real they feel, you know?
Melody: It's not like you have much experience to compare, Ele.
Melody: Nooo, I lost the puck!
Melody Hitch. ♥
Elendil: So, what do you want to do? Want to sneak into another club? Egg a diva's house? Skinny dip down at the health clubs?
Melody: That sounds fun, but I worry that they don't clean the pools after the old and unsightly use them.
Elendil: Ugh. That would be the worst.
Melody: I know!
Melody: How about we play with the photobooth for awhile?
Elendil: Sure. I love getting my picture taken.
Elendil: I might be too drunk to work this right, Mel.
Melody: Don't worry, Ele, it's not hard.
Okay, I might ship them a little.
Elendil: Do you think the stars can really tell our future?
Melody: I don't know about that, but I know our future anyway. You're going to be a famous acoustic singer and I'm going to be your manager. We'll be super famous and exclusive and rich.
Elendil: Awesome.
Melody: I know, right?
Elendil: Hey, Mel-
Melody: What?
Elendil: Want to go to prom with me?
Melody: Sure, Ele, just don't embarrass me, m'kay?
Eledil: Okay, Mel-
Melody: And don't give away your songs for free, I'm going to publish them on iTunes for us.
Elendil: Whatever you want, Mel.
Melody: Okay, I'll see you later!
Elendil: Right!
Elendil: I think she digs me.
Boys.
Ripley, how do you still manage to be creepy even now?
Yakeeb: Is this the room of the facilities where I should facilita- oh, I beg your many pardons!
Yakeeb: I most certainly did not mean to do that.
I believe you.
I don't believe you, however.
Ripley: Oh dear. I'm so embarrassed.
Obviously. Not.
Ripley: So Toby-
October: What's up, Rips?
Ripley: There's that school dance coming up. Are you going?
October: It's funny you ask that, Rips. I've been going crazy over this one ginger chick I met and I have no idea how to get her to notice me.
Ripley: ...oh.
October: I mean. I'm trying to play it cool, but what if I'm too cool?
Ripley: That doesn't really answer my original question though...
Elendil: It's impossible to be too cool, Toby.
October: I see what you're saying-
Elendil: Just keep doing what you're doing, I'm sure she'll notice you being aloof and disconnected in no time. Girls are into that.
October: That's very reassuring, Ele, thank you.
Ripley: Are you guys being serious right now, or-?
Aw. You still aren't getting along with your sister?
Seneca: Lorelei still isn't talking to me.
Lorelei: Whee!
Seneca: I hope these golf balls aren't hitting anyone's windows.
Nicolai: Holy shit, hot!
WHAT THE FUCK. How did you set yourself on fire?! I have a LTA to avoid all possible fires!
Nicolai: SOMEONE PUT OUT MY ASS!
YOU ARE FREAKING ME OUT! SHOWER! NOW!
Don't scare me like that, Nicki.
Nicolai: Wow, near-death experiences sure make me tired.
At least I got this sculpture gnome out of his ordeal.
And now for a typical evening for the old lady that never sleeps.
Zoya: Eat up, you carnivorous fiend o' mine.
She also delves into the magical arts on occasion. I know, the science geek is getting all magical up in this house. Awesome.
Zoya: I have created sparkles!
Hanging out in the backyard with her MP3 player and the sleeping cockatoo.
But she gets back to her science roots sometimes.
Zoya: Time to discover some adorable spacial bodies!
Zoya: Nice to meet you, asteroid Michael Phelps.
(You can tell how long ago I played this game.)
Ready for some kitteh spam?!
Howell: What shall I pounce on today?
This is Hermione watching TV...again.
It's her favorite thing to do.
October rolls into the Hidden Springs health club hoping to finally ask a certain gorgeous gym rat to the upcoming dance.
Sailor: *oof*
October: I'm just going to casually use this machine here...looks simple enough.
October: Yeah, this is how it's done. I hope...
Sailor: ...oh gods...oh gods...
October: Holy crap, is it supposed to hurt this much?!
Sailor: I hope so because damn!
October: Anyway Sailor...I was wondering...do you...um...want to go dancing? I mean, to the dance? The school dance? Not that there's another dance around town I could ask you to-
Sailor: I've been waiting for you to ask me, Toby.
Seneca had a ceremony that night for his athletic accomplishments. His girlfriend showed up, how nice of her.
Seneca: Hey Shara! I haven't seen you in a couple days! How's it going?
Shara: About as well as can be expected. Speaking of expecting-
Seneca: Wow, your breasts look amazing today!
Shara: Seneca, about that-
Georgia: Seneca, is that Shara? Son, is your girlfriend pregnant?
Seneca: Holy moly, you're pregnant?!
Shara: ...yes.
Seneca: Wow!
Gwen: So the Storms boy knocked up his girlfriend?
Shara: My mother is so mad at us, Seneca. I don't even want to go home anymore.
Seneca: Just stay at my house, baby! I mean, it's huge, so there's plenty of room-
Seneca: Is there really a baby in there?!
Oh, Seneca. So giddy and clueless.
Nicolai: Elendil, I want you to work on making your skills well-rounded. Try a logic skill or a cooking skill. You're getting pretty obsessed with that guitar and karaoke machine upstairs.
Elendil: So you're saying I should be working harder on my singing if I want to get anywhere?
Nicolai: That's pretty much the opposite of what I was saying-
Elendil: You're right, Dad, I need to work harder if I ever want to be like Taylor Swift.
Nicolai: Say what?
Elendil: I mean...Jason Mraz. Yeah.
Elendil: ♪ ♫ Because I belie-ee-ee-ve I can-! ♪ ♫
Sometimes he reminds me of a pink-haired Clay Aiken and I don't know why.
It's probably the attitude.
Elendil: ♪ ♫ Don't you wish your girlfriend was raw like me ♪ ♫
Repairman: Something is different.
Yeah. I noticed.
Repairman: I don't like it.
After I installed Supernatural, Lorelei suddenly had vampire skin. Vampire eyes stopped glowing in my game ages ago, but the skin still glows.
Lorelei: Tell me magic fortune ball, will I marry my boyfriend someday?
Lorelei: Survey says-?
Lorelei: Ohmigah!
Lorelei: I'm going to marry Hinto Amitola!
I hope he's aware...
Lorelei: I have never been so stoked.
Ripley: I heard you were moving out soon, Yakeeb.
Yakeeb: It seems the great powers that be have grown tired on my presence-
Ripley: Yeah, well, I was hoping...I could go with you?
Yakeeb: Whatever for, my plush and stitched friend?
Ripley: I need a place to belong. I'm not getting that here.
Yakeeb: I see. Perhaps the powers that be are growing tired of you as well.
Ripley: (...)
*side eyes*
Sailor: Hey, Toby! Since the dance was canceled, I thought we'd hang out today!
October: Then come on it, the water is fine!
Sailor: You're playing in the sprinkler? ...people do that?
October: It's super fun, Sailor, just jump in!
Elendil: Girl. You seem pretty fabulous. Why are you hanging with a dweeb like my twin brother?
Sailor: I don't know what you're talking about. Toby is badass because he doesn't care what people think. And I don't care what you think.
Sailor: Whee, this is so fun!
October: Told you!
Elendil couldn't stand the lameness, so he asked his mother to teach him to drive instead.
Oh my goodness, Lettie! ♥♥♥ I miss you, dear creature.
Seneca: You're getting pretty big. Is there more than one in there?
Shara: Gods, Seneca, let's hope not.
Seneca: You are so beautiful, Shara.
Shara: Seneca-
Seneca: I mean it. You've never been more radiant to me. We're going to be amazing parents.
Shara: (...)
Sailor: *sneak sneak* *sneak sneak*
Elendil: Shara, I can see you.
Sailor: Whatever, I don't care. Much.
Toby and Sailor decided to go for a long jog since there wasn't a dance that night. They stopped once they reached Beryl Lane. Toby thought it'd be nice to watch the sunset, but that's not what he told Sailor. She would probably think it was lame.
October: You don't have to be afraid of the dark, Sailor. I will protect you-
Sailor: What the fuck?! Who do you think you are?! I need protection from no one.
October: Okay, okay, I'm sorry!
"October learned that Sailor is Brave."
Lettie: What a funny smelling sim-
October: The sky sure looks pretty, doesn't it Sailor?
Sailor: Sure. I've always loved living in the country.
October: Really?
Sailor: Yeah. I can't imagine living someplace more urban. I'd miss the great outdoors.
♥
Sailor: ohmigods, does that paparazzo have wings?!
October: Crazy!
October: I had a nice day with you, Sailor.
Sailor: Me too. It was way better than a dance.
Creeper: Nice.
Sailor: Where did that come from?
October: Sailor...I was wondering...do you...do you want to go out? Like, seriously? And exclusively?
Sailor: Are you asking to be my boyfriend?
October: Do you want to be my girl, Sailor Winter?
Sailor: Toby, c'mon. Obviously.
