Heck yes, semester ended Thursday! Now, to celebrate, it's time to let the Breckenridges get on with their lives. Last time college was a bubble blowing filled haze of woo hoo in photobooths and cow mascots. After graduating, Dinah was chosen to be heir in a surprise move that just came out of left field! Or maybe not. Whatevs.
P.S. Guys, there is an inordinate amount of woo hooing going on in this update. I don't know what's going on. Maybe Dinah brought her college hormones home with her, I don't know. But I just felt I should warn your delicate eyes of the pixel copulation that they'll be subjected to.
Dinah's a little worried about the pressure of being heir. One day at a time, dear, one day at a time.
Dinah: Look! I'm looking for a job in the paper! That's something heirs do, right?
(She has a LTW to be a celebrity chef. I don't know if I mentioned that.)
Anne: What the hell?? I thought once we sent the kids off to college that would be it! Banner, it was supposed to be just me and you!
Banner: Oh... guess I forgot to tell you about that.
Kerith's much more supportive.
Kerith: Nice job making it through college. I'm proud of you, Grace.
Dinah: Grandma, I'm Dinah.
Kerith: Of course you are, dear.
I love this animation.
Piper's been invited over. Dinah looks like she might be having second thoughts.
I don't know why, though. He's such a cutie!
There we go. I'd say she got over her cold feet.
.... Yep.
Piper: I love you so much.
Piper: In fact, if being in love was a crime, I'd be sentenced to life!
Dinah: Oh Piper, that's so cheesy. *giggleblush*
Oh yeah, heir portrait done.
Ha! No, Dinah. I saw what happened when I bought you guys one in college. Besides, there's plenty of entertainment running around this house.
Dinah: Like this crappy thing? Ugh! It keeps stealing my quarters and the left flipper doesn't work!
I sent her whiny butt to bed.
Anne: I found this move in this book that looked like fun.
Banner: Oh? Do tell.
She did indeed tell.
Um... Kerith, it's really not appropriate for you to be relaxing on the bed that your son just... you know what, nevermind. Have fun, sweetie.
Banner: Good lord, I hope Anne doesn't want to try this one. How does his leg even bend like that?
Dinah: Here comes the tickle monster!
Kerith: *giggles hysterically*
Kerith: Okay okay, stop! *giggle*
Dinah: You didn't say please!
Kerith: Seriously, stop! Or else I'm gonna have to go change my depends.
Dinah: ..... Oh.
Dinah tells her grandmother about her fiance. Kerith is impressed.
(The more I think about the word "fiance", the weirder it gets.)
Dinah: Here he is now, Grandma!
Kerith: Look at this kid, just waltzing in here without being asked! Just like that time we got burglarized! I bet it was him. *seethes*
Piper: Whoa, someone tell that crazy old bat that I've never stolen a thing in my life!
Dinah: Oh, you two are going to get along great.
Operation Move In is a success.
Piper's stats, the lazy way. Because that's how I roll. He's a popularity sim with a LTW of becoming a General.
After a makeover, Piper is ready to face the challenges of marriage.
But with the addition of some facial hair, he's worried Dinah may not like him anymore.
I don't think he has anything to worry about. You?
Kerith: I like his hair.... It reminds me of trees. I like trees.
A sunset wedding? Don't mind if we do.
Hooray! Generation three spouse snagged!
Well, who would've thought that a wedding would get these two ~in the mood~.
*rolls eyes*
Piper: Catch you guys on the flip side. I'm about to go tap that bustle.
Kerith drowns out the sound of the newlyweds. And the couple that ACT like they're newlyweds.
Later that night, a chance card appears! No one wants to deal with a dark entity by themselves.
Win!
Kerith: So I heard you guys had a good time last night?
Dinah: Oh.. um... yes.
Awkward.
Dinah: Oh Lord, be right back.
Kerith: Honestly, Grace, that's no way to end a conversation with your elders.
Nice job, Banner!
Look who's back.
Yeah, that's right. GTFO. Also, could that face be any creepier?
Piper: Whoa! That woman needs to put on some clothes!
Dinah: Piper! Shhh! Don't draw her attention!
Kerith: Honestly, what's wrong with you?
Dinah: So... I know we just got married and all.. But how do you feel about adding onto our little family?
Piper: *chokes down a bite of pancake* What?
Dinah: Can't talk now, be back in a sec!
This pregnancy hasn't been too kind to Dinah.
Time for some relaxation.
Or not.
Piper: So... we gonna woo hoo or what?
Dinah: That, sir, is a capital idea.
Piper: Aw yeeeeah.
Meanwhile in the front yard....
EAFS!
Atta girl, Anne. Make him like us.
Kerith tells Banner in no uncertain terms that they can't have a cat because it'll eat the fish. Like those fish don't die every two days anyways.
I thought he was going to go curl up and sleep on the bed. I would've melted into goo and kept him forever. Turns out....
He just wanted to be an ass.
And then... : (
Banner plays a song for his dearly departed mother.
At least Galen has company now : /
Nice job being insensitive, you two.
Banner: You guys just don't understaaaaaand! *sob*
Don't worry about Banner. Anne cheers him up the best way she knows how.
Pop numero uno!
And then I realized that my defaults folder was moved.
There we go, that's much better. Piper agrees.
A lot.
Guys, maybe you should think about the fact that, oh I don't know, Dinah is pregnant, freezing, naked, and doin' it on a wooden bench? What the hell is wrong with you two?
Anne is full of win!
And Fineas is full of fail! No one's letting you in, buddy. So just turn yourself around and go back home to your den of sin.
Or hey, you could just waltz in without anyone asking you to.
>:l
Banner: Oh... hi Fineas. You're here. I did't know you were coming over.
Anne: Yeah, maybe you should call next time.
Anne: Your father and I have plans, so I'm afraid you'll have to entertain yourself.
Fineas: I'll just get to know my brother in law :D
Piper: Wait, what now?
Dinah: Is he still there?
Piper: Yes, keep kissing, I'll let you know when he's gone.
So alone.
Later that night, we have pop two!
And Fineas is still here.
Anne: This is ridiculous. It's well past time for him to go home.
Banner: Maybe if we give him enough cash for his own hot tub, he'll stop coming by.
Time for some mornin' lovin'.
Oh but wait! Fineas is STILL here and he's decided it's time for some socialization!
Piper: Ooookay, this is just getting to awkward. Can we get a lock on our door or something?
Dinah: I mean, he walked in on us! Didn't even knock!
Anne: I'm sorry sweetie. Every family has a black sheep. Or in this case a black rain cloud that showers irritation and anguish upon all who come into contact with it.
Piper cheers up his wife with some slick dance moves.
And a little bit of trash talking, just for good measure.
Whoa, who's got the helicopter for a ride to work?
Oh I see. Too bad you're staying home today, Banner. It's birthday time.
Also... could you lose the outfit? It's kind of... Steve Jobs-ian. I feel like you're trying to sell me an iPad.
Blow out those candles!
Piper and Anne: *cheer*
Banner: Alright, now... what to wish for...
Piper and Anne: *cheer*
Banner: *ponders*
Woo.
*checks watch*
.......
Candles: *fizzle*
Anne: That shirt is just lovely on you.
Banner: Guys! Seriously?! I'm aging up here!
I don't know why Piper's so mad about being admired. Neither does Anne. It's okay Anne, I know you were just trying to be nice.
Anne: I may have made Piper mad somehow.
Banner: Hey guys. I'm old.
Banner: Maybe I shoul've wished for hair like that.
Well... You DO need a haircut.
There we go. I think that looks quite nice.
Kerith makes her first appearance.
Guys. This is not your bedroom. Your's is upstairs and there's a vacant one downstairs. Why are you here?
Anne: I think the lighting is better for the camera in here.
I see. Not going to keep up with the tradition of friendly ghosts, eh Kerith?
Guess what these two are doing. I'll give you two hints:
1.) I kicked them out of Dinah and Piper's bedroom because Dinah needed sleep.
2.) That car isn't going to go anywhere.
Oh? No sleep after all, eh?
Baby time!
Here she is. This is Hazel. She's got her Mom's eyes and her Daddy's hair.
I'd say they're quite taken with her.
So that's it for this update. I won't get another one up before Christmas, so Happy Holidays to everyone!
