Aspire to Greatness

Alright, where is everybody?
Johanna's at work. So it's just me and the sprite. Hey sprite. You hungry?
Here you go.



Hey, you got good news for me?
How about getting voted to state assembly?
Very good news!



And it's time for Spirit to grow into a big girl.
Is she gonna be okay?
She'll be fine. Same thing happened to me.
Wow, what a stretch!
If you think that's a stretch, you should see the adult to elder transition. Actually, you will see and experience it yourself soon.
Whoa...
You said her name's Spirit? Hello Spirit! My name's Cheryl.
Yay! I'm a big girl now! Hi Cheryl!
.....
What? What'd I do?
Whoo-hoo!
Uh, should I go now? Johanna? ...Hello?

She's actually rather cute, even though her mother's genes are dominant.
Good morning Spirit. You're going to school. Excited?
Not really. Can I skip school please?
Sorry, but there are truancy officers here.
What's that mean?
That means that if you don't go to school, your parents are going to get in trouble.
Oh. Okay, I'll go to school.
Aww, look, it won't be so bad. Your parents will at least be home soon after you get home.
That's better.



Definitely don't run. The last time someone ran, bad things happened.
That's what happened, my person got accused of all those things. Whoa! Thank you Johanna!



You brought home money too! And it looks like you had a good day at school.
Well, it was okay. My teacher said I can't sit still. That's bad, right?
Not if you want to play sports when you grow up.
That sounds fun. Or I can be a Captain Hero, like the ones on TV.
Or your dad.
Really? Daddy's one too?
Yep.
Cool!
But you can't tell anyone, ok?
Ok.



Congresswoman Green has arrived.
Wow!
But I'm comfortable here. So I'm not worried about moving up anymore.
Well, you never had a career aspiration, and I can get your career reward, so you are free to sit and bask in your phenomenal success.



How was your day, sprite? Did you make lots of friends?
Not yet, Daddy, it was just my first day.
Well, don't hesitate to make friends with your classmates. You never know when you'll need a friend.



Thanks for showing me how to do math, Mommy.
No problem, honey. Why didn't you ask your father?
He said he was going to be busy tonight.
Finally. I can beat up anyone who tries to mess with my sprite.
True. Now just one more cleaning point, and you'll be set for the last promotion you need.



Spirit, how do you feel about a new brother or sister?
Really? We're getting one? Can I have a sister? Can she be older?
Wow, you sound excited.
I'll have to investigate that...

Hi miss bus driver lady! I'm getting a sister!
Sit down kid. I got a route to run.
Okay.
Bye miss bus driver lady.
Bye young lady!
It's Spirit. Bye.
So how was school?
My teacher said I might have a learning disorder.
Just because you can't sit still? Well, that's not nice. You can focus. You do your homework. Strange.

Hi Mommy!
Hi honey.
My teacher said I might have a learning disorder.
Spirit is rather hyper, so she doesn't sit still in class. And the teacher inferred a learning disorder from that.
Oh. I'll talk to your teacher.
Okay Mommy.



Well? Did you get it? Don't leave me hanging!
Fine. I got it.
Awesome! That's one lifetime want down!
The luckiest ever. I never thought I'd be able to do that. So where's the sprite?
Daddy!
There you are.
My teacher says I have a learning disorder.
What?
Don't worry about it; Johanna's dealing with it. Spirit, you didn't have to tell both of them.
Oh! Okay.



It's been a long time since we danced like this.
Very true, very true.


Well, it's been a long time since you got pregnant too.



Good morning Spirit.
Good morning. Do I have to go to school today?
Sorry, but yes.
Okay.

Bye honey, going to work.
See ya Johanna.
Bye Daddy, going to school!
That kiss was just amazing, it was--oh, bye sprite!

You look very happy.
I am! Look! I got an A+!
Congratulations.
Look Mommy! I got an A+!
Good for you honey!
Her happiness is infectious.



Oh, something hurts!
What? You haven't even bumped yet.
I haven't felt this bad since giving birth! Make it stop!
I would if I knew what was happening!
Heheheheheh, did I mention I had InTeen installed? Whoops. Anyway, Johanna, you need to eat, badly.
I haven't wanted omelettes this bad since I was pregnant.
...I'll just let her find out on her own.

Whoa! Where'd this come from?
We do not need to have this conversation. You know very well where that came from.
Now you get some rest and food.
Or maybe just the rest.
Mommy's been like that for a long time. Is she gonna be okay?
She's gonna be fine.
But I wanted Mommy to play with me.
Your father can play with you.
Sure, I'll pay with you before you go to school.
Yay!
Off to save the world.
Bye Galant!



Who are you?
Darrel. Spirit invited me home with her after school.
Okay. Carry on.
Not over there. You have a big mouth. Literally.
Hi Daddy!
Hi sprite.
Are you going to tell him you have an A+?
I already told Mommy.
This stuff you tell both of them.
Oh! Okay.
I wonder if she really understands me.
So exactly what have you been doing to my daughter?
Just playing with her.
And what have you been playing with her?
Just usual stuff.
What's "usual stuff" for you?
Uh...
Stop interrogating the boy Galant. He's harmless.



Did I really get this big last time?
Yes you did.



It's important to never get in trouble with the law, so you never have to wear handcuffs. They hurt. You always want to be the cuffer.
Mommy says it's important to watch what you eat, cause if you eat omelettes, you're having a baby.
I think it's time someone explained to Spirit where babies really come from. I'm not volunteering.

People should never eat omelettes, or you're going to have babies.
Not even a little bit. That means you're going to have a little baby.
Didn't I tell someone to tell Spirit that's not how you get babies?

Bet I can make this jump better than you!
No you can't!
Yes I can! See? I did!
Yet she's an SSX3 champ.
Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack, all dressed in black, black, black...
Are you gonna be my friend forever and ever?
Of course! I promise.
Aww. Uh, Kennedy? Can you back up? It's creepy how close you're standing to them.
I guess promising lifelong friendship is tiring.



I forgot that you were getting old. Now I'm getting sad. *flashes back to Brooklyn for a moment*
Also, I don't want you playing sports with my daughter. If she comes home with a hangnail you helped cause, I will make sure you spend the rest of your life in prison.
*gulp*
Galant, stop terrorizing the boy. I told you he's harmless.



Okay, the baby's really here this time! Get up Galant!
*snort*
GALANT!!!
What? What happened?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Aah! What's all the screaming?
It's your second child.

It's another girl! How does Aspire sound? You like that?
Why can't I get a baby with his eyes? Are they that recessive?

Alright! Now I have a little sprite!
Can I say hi, Mommy?
Sure you can.
Hi Aspire! I'm your big sister Spirit!
I think she likes you.
Mommy says I'm too little to hold her just yet. But when I get bigger, I can hold her just like my teddy bear.



Drink up honey, so you can be a big girl like your sister.



How'd you get a cold?
I'm guessing it was the shoplifter sneezing in my face. Maybe I should have bought him the cold medicine he was trying to steal.
*sigh*
Daddy!
No, don't touch him Spirit! He's diseased!
Oh, it's just a little cold. Come here, big sprite.
What did I say? Why does no one ever listen to me?
My nose feels funny.
Of course it feels funny. I told you not to touch him.



Besides sharing germs, you two almost shared birthdays too. But I don't have to worry about you for another 24 hours.
You, on the other hand, we have a decision to make. Give you your party now, or let fate take its course and wait till tomorrow?
Did you say party?
But for this party you have to become an elder. You're not in a rush to get old, are you?
Well, we both knew it was happening eventually.
I knew, but now you'll be on the homestretch to death.
You think of it the wrong way. I think of it as the last leg of my journey through life.
Fine, have your party.
Thank you.

Whoops. Forgot that these two don't like each other. And since you started it this time, Marisa, I'll see you later.
Yay! Happy birthday Daddy! *noisemaker*
You don't know how much that means to me, big sprite.
I appreciate Johanna being so supportive. She can't be too happy.
Hmm, never thought about that.
I know. I have to think for you.
Anyway, make a wish.
Hmmm, well, what's left to wish for? I'm the superhero I wanted to be as a kid, I have a loving wife and two beautiful little girls. We're not poor anymore, and I have a circle of great friends. Well, more of those can't hurt. I know! I wish that I can see both my girls grow up before I kick the bucket.
Would've had a better chance of that if you'd waited till tomorrow.

Here we go!





And all done. That looked like it hurt. You ok?

Oh, I'm fine. Feeling good for an oldie.
The question is, are you okay?
Oh, I'll be fine, eventually.

Are you okay?
Just a cough.
You still have that cold, don't you? You go inside. I will not have you dying early.
Stupid Marisa. She messed up the whole party.
You're sounding suspiciously like my mother.
Get over it. You have to listen to me. Just enjoy the fact that you had a good party and go to bed.

That's all for now! Until next time!

Catch the Spirit

And we're back. Now before I forget, let's introduce this one to you all.

Johanna Morris (hopefully Green)
Aspiration: Popularity
LTW: Have 20 Simultaneous Best Friends (Bob Newbie-style rant)
Star Sign: Aries
Turn-ons/Turn-off: Stink, Brown Hair/Glasses

And of course, as they do with all NPCs, her stats have been tweaked so that she's all outgoing and playful. No neat points, no active points, No. Nice. Points. The only thing keeping her in the house is the fact that her children's stats will be determined on her genetic stats.

So why are you taking the Jeep to work?
Missed the carpool. We were too busy doing grown-up stuff.
Going to work is also grown-up stuff, but you weren't doing that.
Grrr...
Look, I'm not all that bad. Ask Galant.

Alright, whose butt do I have to kick for knocking for knocking over the trash?
Glad you asked. The name is Komei Tellerman. Red hair, looks like an ape. Can't miss him.

Ooh, you're home! And you brought money!
Lucky. You wouldn't happen to be a Fortune sim god, would you?
Nope., but good guess.



While I'm sure you're both enjoying Johanna's live-in status, I'd really prefer if her unborn baby had her father's name.
What baby?
She's pregnant.
She is?
I AM?
*facepalm* I'm only forgiving your collective lack of knowledge because she hasn't had any morning sickness or anything really. But yeah, pregnant. Marriage would be nice.
Okay.







Congratulations you two. Welcome to the family, Johanna.
It's really about time, Galant.
I was being stupid, putting it off. Forgive me?
Sure.
Lucky.



A normal honeymoon in most of my households.



Yay! Remi! I need you, since nobody else will clean unless I twist their arm.



What? I told you you were pregnant. And congratulations on your promotion.



Oh look! It's a spider!
Where?
You don't see it? Hehehe. Sucker.
I did mention the total absence of nice points, right?


Guess he never caught her.



Go beat up lots of bad guys, Galant!
I feel bad leaving Johanna home by herself. She could fall or go into labor while I'm gone.
Don't worry, she won't. I promise.
Hey. No promotion. That's okay.
Where's Johanna?
Inside, and perfectly fine. Look for yourself.
Guys, it's not even 7:00, and you're sleeping already?



Ahh! Stupid omelette! I'm starving and you want to burn.

Forget the omelette! Where's Galant?
Uh, at work? Why are you going into labor now?
Tell him to get home right now! I'm having his baby!
I'm afraid it doesn't quite work that way.
Mrs. Green? I know this isn't in my job descrption, but is there any way I can help?
You can have this baby so I can eat!
You know he can't do that.

Just one. Thank you.
Oh, looks just like you. Darn. So? Boy or girl?
A girl. I'm going to name her Spirit.
Interesting name.
She doesn't look too happy to be fed right now. Maybe you should wait a bit.
Who's the mother here? She's fine.
You forgot that you're a first-time mother.
And now some food for me... *splat*
Poor girl. I'll send her to bed. Johanna? It's time for bed.



Galant! Thank goodness you're home.
Hi honey. What happened to the f-uh, maternity clothes?
Your child's been born.
I missed it. Ms. Nevermore, you said I wouldn't miss it.
Actually I said that yesterday. And it surprised me too. I didn't know she'd have it today.
Enough arguing. Here she is.
A girl. My little girl. Lucky.
Spirit? Look over here. Daddy's home.
Look at me honey.
There we go. I'm the luckiest guy on earth right now.
As much as I hate to break up this very tender family moment, Spirit needs her diaper changed.
I know. I'm not stupid.
Look at her. She's beautiful.
She is rather cute, even though I'd hoped she'd have your eyes.



Honey, I'm going to work. Please feed the baby before you leave.
No problem, Johanna.
Wait, you both are going to work?
Yeah, she wants to get some more money flowing into the house, and I don't have any time off.
Come on Spirit. Drink up. Now you're going to be good for Ms. Karen, right? Phew! Better change you too.
So we hired this nice lady. Her name's Karen, and the agency drops her off before I leave for work. She leaves when I get home. It's perfect.
Or at least it would be if they had a better reputation.
What do you mean?
Oh nothing really. She'll be fine. For now.




You look quite pleased with yourself.
I am! I got elected to city council. And I've made 5000 simoleons so far!
Good for you.
Wow. You've almost made it to your lifetime dream.
Yep.
You don't look too thrilled about it.
I feel guilty leaving Spirit by herself all day.
She was fine. She only got put on the floor once.
The FLOOR!?
Uh, I was kidding?
Oh. *sigh* Don't scare me like that.
Dude? Who are you talking to?
Oh yeah. Not you, Adam.
Speaking of Spirit, her birthday is today.

Hey little one, today's your birthday!
Why are you all the way over there?
How else can I get good side shots of the cake?
True.
Now let's blow!
*gratuitous cheering*
And what goes up an infant...
...comes down a toddler! Happy birthday Spirit!

Uh, would you like a hug?
No offense ma'am, but I don't even know you.
Fine. You're ugly anyway.
*snerk*

Upsy daisy!
Whee!
You can walk now!
Meaning she won't look like that kid from The Grudge when she tries to get around anymore. Now you need a shower.
I'll take her from here. You wanna learn to use the bathroom like a big girl?



I'm home! Where's Spirit?
In the kitchen waiting for you.
Can you say "chair?"
Char?
"Chair," honey, "chair."
Chair.
You did it! Johanna! Did you hear? Her first word!
Yes, I heard her.
Bunny!
You're going to get your bunny? Where'd your father go that quick?
The phone was ringing.
Well, you're not nearly as bad as Sydney was.
You've mentioned that name before.
Don't worry about it.



I luvu Mommy.
Aww! I love you too, sweetie.
That just touches your heart.
And she finally learns how to use the potty.
She just had to wait for her luck to kick in. You'll be a big girl soon.
Well, in three days. Close enough.
Daddy's always gonna take care of you. Remember that, sprite.
Okie Daddy.
Now time to get you clean.

And here's our warning. Well, not really a warning, because I keep my toddlers in platinum. But one more day and Spirit can grow up.

That's all for now. See you later!

To Buy or Not to Buy?

Hello again! Say hello, Galant. Galant?

Whoops. Sorry about that. Wow, level 5!
Yep. Amazing, ain't it? Lucky.
Yep.

*sigh* Why is he here?
He followed me home.
He's been following you home the past three days.
Oh, it's fine.



So I'm calling up an old woman...why?
To get you a date. You do need to get a wife, preferably soon.

Hello ma'am.
Hello young man. How can I help you?
I want to find the love of my life and I heard you could do that for me. So, can you help me out?
I can, but I have a small itch right here in my palm.
What?
Give her some money, Galant.
Oh!
How much do I give you?
All your money would be good.
No! You be quiet woman! I want some money left over for bills, so $2600 should be okay.

Hmm, not bad.
"Not bad"? That was most of my money!
I should be able to get you something pretty good for this amount.
She should be arriving shortly.
I feel sorry for her. Wait a minute...
Thank you so much!
You're quite welcome young man.
Don't shake her hand just yet, I want to see just who your date is.
...WHAT!?
Thank you ma'am. I know you did your best with what I gave you.
Galant, you're too nice.
Her name is Johanna. She's a bit shy, so that's why she's wearing a costume.
Oh. I hope that I can break her out of her shell then.
She's a cow. She's anything but shy.
Hmmm, a cow costume. That's...different.
I just know the mailman is laughing at me.
Hello miss. I'm Galant.
Johanna. Hi.
Rather terse, are we?

Okay, kicky bag is okay.
Dancing already? Man, you two REALLY get along.
Okay, a good date. No, don't kiss her! I was going to get you a a better date!
Darnit!
Well, he does find her hot. And she's an NPC. Maybe this could work.



Back to the grind.
So you heard I was downtown? As a matter of fact, I was. I had a date.
Ooh, I have mail. And it's pink.
A love note from your date, I presume.
It even smells like her.
Alright, drool inside, lover boy.
It's going to stay right there where I can read it everyday.
You know you can just ask her out again, since you have her number.



So do you have any good news for me?
You do! Yay!
You might want to know that Kennedy's right behind me.
Boo.
Oh no missy. I learned all about you from the Uglacy. He's off-limits.



Nice suit. Looking good.
Isn't it? Detectives get to wear more normal clothes. It's like Law and Order. Lucky.
You're smiling. Even more good news?
Yep.
Another promotion! If you were a Fortune sim, this would be so much easier.
Nice money tree.
Thanks.
Galant, you might have to dismiss him. He might run off with that.



Oh hello Johanna.
Mmm, your costume is soft.
Uh, thanks, I guess.
So she's not the amorous type.
Yet she falls in love with you first. Strange. Maybe she's just being coy.
Whoa, you two! Do you need a room?
Possibly.
Ahh, so you have fallen down the love tunnel as well.

Wait, you two aren't...guh! And in the car? When it's your first time?
*music* "Let's get it on..."
Great, and once again he's ignoring me. I'll be over here.
*music* "She got a light-skinned friend look like Michael Jackson
Got a dark-skinned friend look like Michael Jackson..."
Are you quite finished now?
Yep. I got lucky.
*facepalm* I cannot believe you just said that.
But I really do love her, and I'm about to prove it now.
Oh? How?

Johanna, I have a really important question to ask you.
Shoot.
Alright.
I know we haven't been seeing each other long, but I feel that I could see only you for the rest of my life and I'd be happy.
So Johanna Morris, will you marry me?
Aaah! Wow! I never thought I had a chance with you!
Oh wow, I have a playable sim's engagement ring. It's beautiful.
Uh, is that a yes?
Yes! Yes, you silly man, yes!
Aww, I'm actually happy for her. For them.

So, would you consider moving in?
Eh, might as well, I was failing anyway.
Whoa, I feel weird. You might wanna back up.
Congrats Johanna, you are now an adult.
Who said that?
Me.
Who's me?
Call me God. Or Miss Fini. Whichever you prefer. I'm both.
Okay...weird.
Why don't you take off your mask now? You certainly don't want to wear that with a wedding dress.
Happy?
Yeah. Wow. I assumed you were all ugly and malformed.
Hey!
I see the error of my ways.
Just cause we get our kicks setting off sprinklers and beating up cheerleaders doesn't mean we're all trolls.

We can be affectionate,
we make ourselves useful, ooh politics looks interesting,
and we're smart too.
Well, you're no teen cashier, but your skill set isn't bad.



*in unison* This place is hideous!
You two were made for each other; you even complain in unison!
Can you blame us? The concrete walls, the lack of flooring, and are those fingerprints?
Just keep running that scanner. We'll talk about a maid after you get some money.



Well, you definitely are affectionate.
Oh, it was leading up to something. I'll be in the other room. Wait, did I just hear chimes?

Rise and shine! Who's ready for work?
Juuuuust giiiiiiiive meeeeee aaaaaaa miiiiiinuuuuuute.
No problem.
Caaaaaan weeeeee geeeeeeet maaaaaarriiiiiiied wheeeeeeen weeeeeee geeeeeet baaaaack?
I have no problem with it.
You, on the other hand, are a problem. Get up, lazy bum.
Um, can we postpone the wedding?
...Why?
I just don't want to right now.
What? What was all this talk about love and proving it?
That was then, this is now.
Oh boy.

That ends this week. He makes me wonder if they will get married.

Odd Pics Out:
Grand Vamp! Grand Vamp!
You know, if she makes you mad, you can just bite her.
To Kennedy's credit, Marisa started it.
See you next week!

Moving On

Before this post, I have an apology and an explanation. Unfortunately, my computer crashed for the second time in six months, and I had to again wipe my hard drive and start over. After I recovered my files from my portable back-up drive, I proceeded to drop my Legacy neighborhood back into my Neighborhoods folder... only to have it not show up. After a few tries of doing something that I forget now, I managed to get it open. And to my horror, everything was gone. No lots, no sims. Even my college neighborhood was completely empty of lots and sims. So, yeah. My Grays are gone. Sorry for you, sorry for me. Le sigh. So I took that as my cue to install Nightlife.

Yay Nightlife! Still my favorite EP. Cars, dates, the opportunity to install ACR! What's not to love?

Anyway, back to business. So what does this mean for my blog? Simple. New Legacy, of course! I have committed to getting one Legacy and one Prosperity under my belt before I die. Alright, let's get started!

Smile for me!
This looks good, right Ms. Nevermore?
Perfect. Now I'll introduce you.

Nightlife Legacy Founder
Galant Green
Aspiration: Popularity
LTW: Reach Top of Law Enforcement Career
Star Sign: Libra
Turn-ons/Turn-off: Formal Wear, Black Hair/Fitness

Sounds like you're trying to hook a Diva. Not that I mind. Oh crap, they have a penalty. Would I take it for at least 50k? ...Yes.

Hello Galant and welcome to your new home.
Okay, where's the house?
Oh no you don't. I told you no house.

You said four walls and a floor. I at least want that.
Oh yeah, forgot about that. Hold on.

This is all I can do on a very limited budget. You'll have to live with this for now.
Do I have a phone?
Yes.
Lucky. This'll work just fine.

What are you doing?
1, 2, 3, body skill. 1, 2, 3, for job.
Well, you don't even have the job yet. The paper's here now. Why don't you find out if you'll get it today?
Good idea. I'm beat now.
You haven't even started getting the point yet and you're tired already? And you eventually have to max body. This is going to take a while.

Here it is. Lucky.
That is pretty lucky. You might want to work on that body skill point now that you know you'll need it.
Well, we can wait till tomorrow, can't we?
No.


Actually, scratch that; you have visitors.
Yes!
Don't think you'll get away from getting that body point. I haven't seen someone so unmotivated to get their lifetime want. Wait, there was Sydney.
Who's Sydney?
Nobody.



Hello. We're the neighborhood welcoming committee.
And yet they send you and your worst enemy.
That's not nice.
The welcoming committee isn't nice?
No, not you.
Sorry, forgot to tell you: only those who live here can hear me.
Not so lucky.
Remind me to ask you why you seem to have a small obsession with luck.
I like to cook. I was in culinary school once. Now I'm pursuing my true passion.
That sounds fun. I might have wanted to be a chef if I hadn't seen so much Batman when I was a kid.
Ugh! Why'd you do that?
Hahahahaha!
Nope, not into nature at all. Flowers are for bees.
Wow, that's kinda harsh. Flowers were here before you.
Time to say goodbye, Galant. I don't want Mr. Long and Ms. Bendett interacting. Bad enough Ms. LeTourneau seems determined to make enemies today.
Do they have to go now?
Yes.
Fine. I'll see you later, Ben, Marisa, and uh, Brandi.



Okay, now I'm glad I said goodbye. People+shower=bad. Lucky.

That's not a very nice face.
This stuff tastes disgusting.
You must be getting the generic stuff. There's this really good one called Boost that tastes like... you aren't listening to a word I'm saying, are you?
I tried, but it couldn't get my mind off the taste, so no.

Hello. Oh don't worry about not catching up with the welcoming committee in time, I like meeting new people any way. Uh, Downtown? While I'm sure you and your friends are a load of fun, we literally just met. That's kinda weird.
I forgot about that. Sorry, would've warned ya if I remembered.

Good night Galant. Tomorrow we get some money to get you a real refrigerator, or something.



Man, I thought they'd want more for the utilities, but they only asked for 72 simoleons! Lucky!
Okay, what's with all the lucky talk?
Did you not see the shirt? This is my lucky shirt, and it's been working.
Can't exactly argue with that.


Now you are going to get that body point you've been avoiding.
Man...
You sound like a child.
See? That wasn't hard.
I have a suggestion. Let's switch places.
...I'll pass.



Done. That crossword was too easy. Lucky. Now where are the personals?
You don't even have a separate bathroom. I think it's a bit early to be looking at that section.

"Hmm, caramel colored man seeks black-haired woman interested in parties and fashion. Should like blondes, facial hair and fitness in partner. No muscular women need apply." You think that'll work?
If you're looking to get laughed at or beaten up, sure. I know I said you should marry as soon as possible, but you don't have the money to take out an ad. Let's discuss that next week.



That'll get you fat quick.
No more instant meals. *snarf*
Oh come on, they're not that bad.



Bye Galant.
Hi. Do you guys have a better car to pick me up in? A police car would be so cool! All the flashing lights and...
I feel for David.

So, how'd it go?
A promotion! Good job.
They got me a contact to apply for the Police Academy. Lucky.

They want me there at 9 am, so I need sleep.
Good night. Enjoy the new bed.



You look happy.
The new bed was great! Thanks.
Well, the happier you are, the happier I am.
Hmm, much better. But you forgot the lights and sirens.
Leave him alone. He decides whether or not you're on time.
Oh he knows I'm kidding, right Dave? Dave?

Awesome! You got me a TV!
It's not for sitting on your butt all day, it's for exercise.
Of course. I wonder if I get ESSN.
At least you're exercising now.
Hello Louise. Look, I told you already. I'll hang out with you and your friends another time.
At least I can say that this stalker was not my fault.
Wow, a bowl and spoon. We've moved up in the world.
Mo mo i'fit mears.
I don't speak food-in-mouth. But I can guess what you said.



Another promotion! You're going fast. I can get another addition to your house.
A stove!
I figured it was time to give you the ability to make real meals.

Hi kid.
Hello sir. I'm Alon Livingston, and I'm currently collecting funds for the Poor NPC Fund.
You're supposed to be delivering the newspaper.
Look kid, it was nice to meet you, but I gotta go now.
No tip for you. Solicitation is against the law. I think.



Alright, now this is more like it! But why do I have to ride in the back? It's like I'm under arrest.
I guess that's the penalty for getting your police car.
Hmm... good things come to those who wait.
Good job!
Lucky.
That was nobody's luck. I deduced the correct answer and it gets attributed to luck.

Look Louise, if you don't stop harassing me about coming Downtown, I'm going to have to arrest you for harassment.
...I don't think you can arrest someone for that.
Oh yeah, check out these biceps!
Yes, you're fit. Congratulations.



You look happy.
I got promoted again! Lucky!
Congrats.
And I've been counting. I've made 5,000 simoleons!
Wow, that's a lot.
Doesn't look like it, but I have.
And of course, they want me there by 9, so must sleep now.
Good night.

Galant? Isn't it time to go to work?
Sure, come on over tonight and I'll make dinner. You can help me compose my personal ad.
Good to know that his priorities are in the right place. *eye roll*

As the first week always is, a quiet week. I hope he can keep up his momentum. And he hopes for a party. Why am I not surprised? I'll be back soon, as soon as I talk him out of it.

Odd Pic Out:
I didn't know Mrs. Crumplebottom could bowl. And she even got a strike. You'd think with that skill she'd spend her time bowling and not harassing sims.
