Chapter 8.7

Chapter 8.7  Damn Technology

A few months later, after fixing the main household computer, Basil had a birthday.Even his estranged father made an appearance, mainly for the cake side of things.‘See, I told you he’d turned up once we paid him!’ Maple laughed.Young Basil grew up into a not too bad looking teenager, meaning that he fortunately had inherited more of his father’s genetics than his mother’s.‘Why am I being blamed for the downfall of the Bailey genetics?’ Whitney complained, to no one in particular.  ‘If anything, you should be thankful that my genes eliminated the Mika Moore moose nose.’However, as it turned out, her input was no longer valid in this legacy.

‘Oh come on!’‘Erm, so, hey there, Death, fancy sparing my life like you did with my husband?’The Grim Reaper loudly cleared his throat, eyes gesturing down to the floor. Whitney quickly got the hint.‘Oh please spare my soul, wonderful great one!’ ‘Hmm, let me think.’Once the deed was done, old Grimmy made a beeline for the Bailey library.‘Now, time for some Game of Thrones.  I wonder if Ned Stark will heroically save the day?’Meanwhile, outside, Maple and Cory were too busy making out to realise Whitney had died.  Funnily enough, since they were getting old, they were scared of dying alone, which is the reason why they had decided to give things another go.‘I love you, Mape,’ Corry said, his voice sending warm flutters down Maple’s spine.‘Let me show you how much,’ he added.Maple was speechless when he whipped it out.‘Will you marry me, partly so I can get rid of my ridiculous surname?’For what seemed like several minutes, Maple stared at the sparkly retina-burning ring in awe.  She honestly never thought she would marry anyone during her generation.   ‘Oh, go on then!’ Maple finally confirmed, after deciding to play things cool, rather than start crying and beg for him to wed her then and there.And so, they were engaged and happy.Although deep down inside, Cory would never forgive for having another man’s child and would always resent Basil’s existence somewhat.The children were not too happy when they heard about their engagement.  Basil was particularly annoyed because he would have preferred for Maple to marry his biological father, despite the old man was on his last legs.As for Orion, he coped by taking a hell of a lot of space heroin and almost overdosed.All in all, it was a standard week in the Bailey household.

 

Chapter 8.6

Chapter 8.6 Love? Actually, not

Soon enough, Rolo entered his teenage years and resembled his Great-Uncle Aero somewhat, although it was probably just the hair colour that did it.This naturally meant he had to become a brooding guitar boy.His crush, Niki Minaj Nutella Natalis had also done a bit of growing up.After witnessing his Mother’s failure to bag a man of her own when she was his age, Rolo decided to quickly make the moves on Niki before another sim did.Perhaps he got a bit too carried away…
‘Mmmph!’ Orion was pleased for his half-brother, honestly, he was.His best friend and crush, Christie Rooney had thrown away their friendship by frolicking off into the arms of bad boy, Jimmy Harlow, whom teased Orion relentlessly for being an alien.To cope with this trauma, Orion became addicted to an alien invented drug called heroin.As for Basil, the baby of the family, he had recently aged into a child, a slightly plump one, although that may have just been down to Whitney’s ghastly “fat face” genetics, which had unfortunately been passed down onto Maple, and now onto both her children.At least it was better than inheriting the Mika Moore nose, ‘ey, Twix?‘It’s ok Twix, as long as I live we will share the same shaped nose!’ Hershey exclaimed, rushing into the Bailey legacy house like he still lived there (which he didn’t).‘Err, what’s this?’Hershey begun ascending towards the ceiling.‘Oh, snap.’‘Well, it looks like I’m dead, so scrap what I said about our noses.’ Indeed this was a very emotional and heart-breaking moment for Twix, having always been close to his baby brother  (flashback photo!).‘Erm, shouldn’t have the Grim Reaper shown up by now?’‘Ugh!’ ‘God damn scythe!  I knew I should of just used the front door, like a normal bloody person.’Death aside, Rolo and Orion had the most important night of their teenhood’s to attend; that’s right, Prom night!  Here is how dapper they looked.It appeared that at some point during this night, Rolo stumbled across Orion’s “special stash”.And somehow, without the use of his “special stash”, Orion ended up getting close to a stunner called Melanie Hester, who, despite having physical similarities to Niki, was not related to her.Orion was quick to work his moves on her. Unlike Rolo, Orion knew not to overdo the first kiss, thus making him a better boyfriend.Unfortunately, Basil took an instant disliking to Melanie after she called him Levi.‘Sorry, but you can’t blame me for assuming you were named something ridiculous?  Christ, your Grandfather’s named after a frickin’ chocolate bar.’Levi Basil did not take kindly to her response.It took two months for Melanie to recover from her injuries after her unfortunate accident with the ice-cream van later that day.

 

Chapter 8.5

Chapter 8.5 Dying for a sleepover

Despite being an alien, Orion managed to become the cutest child in the house.Twix debated whether or not to sell him out to the science facility for money. However, since his family were already millionaires, he decided against this.And thus, he decided to treat Orion like a Grandson and helped him prepare for University. Rolo, his true Grandson, did not have much of an interest in science or smart things, so there was no hope there.And his latest one, Basil, was still a lame baby.Whitney still had faith in Rolo, however.  She decided to influence him to be charismatic so he could talk his way through life.    Several uneventful months later, Basil started to develop some facial features. Fortunately for the family, he didn’t look a thing like Devon Hoff, and even possessed yellow eyes, so everyone just assumed he was Cory’s son.Whitney did not really care who the father was in truth; she was just glad he was not an alien.Rolo, who had gained the party animal trait at some stage in his short life, decided to throw a slumber party for his tenth birthday.This was mainly because he wanted an excuse to spend time with Niki Natalis, a cute girl who enjoyed karaoke almost as much as he did.That evening, they did a rather awesome rendition of “You’re the one that I want” from Grease, minus the leather clothing as that would have been slightly inappropriate.Whilst his brother sung various other songs from musicals and the other children poked the bee hive in the back garden with sticks, Orion was content playing video games with Christie Rooney, the only child in school that did not tease or bully him for being an alien.‘We’ll be best friends forever, right?’ Orion asked.‘Yeah, whatever; now shut up, I’m one kill streak away from getting the attack dogs.’For some un-earthly reason, the children thought it would be a grand idea to sleep outdoors, despite it was the end of spring, and the weather was irrational.On this matter, Mika made her views very clear.‘You children suck!’In hindsight, it was probably a better idea than sleeping in the kitchen, like back in Chapter 7.7.  This meant that Twix could actually freely conjure up some grub, without getting trapped anywhere.‘Wait, what’s happening?’ Twix asked as the bread board started to glow.  It took him a few more seconds to realise that the glow was in fact coming from him and his fancy pajamas.‘So, this is what it’s like to die?  Nice.’ A few minutes later, the rest of the family, minus the children who were still asleep, all congregated in the kitchen as the old Grim Reaper appeared to claim Twix’s soul. ‘I’m gonna be so lonely!’ Whitney sobbed.‘Err, actually, you’re entitled to remarry and what not,’ Grimmy said.‘Oh really?  Sweet!’Twix decided to do something a little bit crazy, figuring he had nothing left to lose being dead. and all.  He had been carrying a particular flower around with him for a while after it had randomly appeared in his inventory.

‘Please accept this as a token of my appreciation for all your hard work!’The room fell silent as the Grim Reaper stared at the flower, then at Twix, then back at the flower.  Maple winced, anticipating her Father to be whisked away into his platinum tombstone.‘O-M-G, Twix, this is the most beautiful thing anyone has ever given me,’ Grimmy confessed, his eye sockets welling up underneath his hood.  Meanwhile, Whitney fantasied about being wrapped in the arms of a muscular toyboy.‘Here, have your skin and stuff back.’Twix gasped in amazement as he returned to his former fleshy self.Twix was puzzled as to why Grimmy spared his life that day, for the sake of a flower, but soon enough he decided to just enjoy the additional time he had been given instead of fretting over something so trivial.As for the Grim Reaper, he thoroughly enjoyed the rest of his day, and found the most lovely vase to put his flower in.

 

 

 

Chapter 8.4

Chapter 8.4 Green Affairs

Life with the fridge people did not turn out as anticipated, so Whitney returned to reality and decided to focus on her own flesh and blood.This meant disposing of the things which did not fit this criteria.Fortunately, Tremayne booted up in time before he and Orion were recycled.  After that the two little misfits were inseparable.‘Enough of those misfits!  It’s Christmas, let’s partaaaay!’ Maple announced, ruining  the sentimental opening  to this chapter, and terrifying the poor blond guy standing in front of her.‘One of those misfits is my son,’ Sunnup said.  She had been invited to the party by Cory as he thought it would be a good idea for Orion to know that Maple was definitely not his mother, and also because Cory hoped he could participate in a bit of alien intercourse.Anyways, Maple had also invited a certain someone along to her party; Devon Hoff, the older brother of a guy she had dated during high school, and also one of her fellow work colleagues.This guy if you have to know (Morris Hoff).  Sadly he was married with children.Devon was not, thus making him a suitable man.
‘So, err, do you like stuff?’‘Devon, Maple is depressed with her current life and wants to bang you in attempt to feel better about herself,’ Almond translated.‘Erm, I’m not sure if I want that,’ Devon replied.‘It’s you or your brother, and in her current state she would definitely sink that low.’So, the following night, Maple ended up setting foot into Devon’s flat.‘You promise you won’t break up my brother’s family, right?’ Devon asked, body trembling in fear.‘As long as you promise to love me and take me away from my prison of a life!’ Maple chirped.‘Of course.’Spolier: He did not.A few months later, Cory was still being a doting father, despite circumstances had changed once more.Yes indeed, another little bundle of joy was on the way.Cory would have been thrilled, if it had not been for the fact he had not made woohoo with Maple for well over a year.Because of this, he had a small suspicion that this baby was not his.‘Ya think?’ Fudge sighed, before he continued to munch on the rotten food placed before him.Classy as ever.

Chapter 8.3

Chapter 8.3 Out of this world

As what happens often during a pregnancy, Maple went into labour.And off she waddled down the front path.‘Why are we letting her reproduce?’ Alice cried out, watching hopelessly as Maple drifted towards the edge of the road, where a car would materialise out of nowhere and take her directly to the hospital.Cory then let out a squeal, and not because he had heard rumours that the Spice Girls were getting back together.  His stomach and groin areas were glowing bright green!‘Okaaay,’ Maple said, ‘we’re just going to ignore that…’Soon enough, Maple strolled out of the hospital with a baby.  She named him Rolo since she did not intend to give him away.Maple tried to kid herself that life would not change, that sleep would not become a rare entity she would fight Cory to the death for.She knew it was a fight she would win.  It was no secret that Cory was getting pudgy: one too many waffles, or so everyone thought.He had also been out on a couple of dates during Maple’s pregnancy, although he could not fathom as to why his trousers had become tighter than usual since he often opted for a healthy autumn salad.One afternoon, after lunch, Cory felt peculiar.  At first, he assumed it was a bit of trapped wind, but after letting out a few, he felt no better, and Maple was not impressed.‘Yeah, something’s not quite right,’ Cory said.  It felt like his insides were being twisted inside out, and then were being draped around someone’s neck, like a feather boa.

‘I’m not cleaning up after you if you can’t make it to the bathroom in time,’ Maple stated.As it turned out, Cory was experiencing the joys of labour, and swiftly gave birth to a little green bundle of joy, wrapped up in a blue blanket.  Unfortunately the pictures of his birth were too explicit to be shown, but if you can imagine a whole load of icing exploding out from a piping bag, you are heading down the right tracks.Cory quickly pieced everything together.  The alien who had abducted him had made her intentions clear from the very beginning, although somehow he had forgotten about this small detail.‘Do you wanna have sex?’

Cory hesitated for a moment.  Sex with an alien; it could be risky, and he could easily catch some kind of incurable space disease and die, or worse.

‘Yeah, ok.’‘You player, you,’ he baby gurgled in a language that Cory could not understand… Alien.Then, he winked.After a few minutes of thinking, Cory decided to name his son Orion.  For some reason, Whitney found baby Orion more interesting than her Grandson, Rolo; it was a shame he would not be illegible to carry on the Bailey legacy name.‘Some could say he’s out of this world!‘ Whitney laughed after nattering to Fudge non-stop about how awesome Orion was.‘If this coffee wasn’t lukewarm and likely to do any damage, I would throw it in your face,’ Fudge replied.Whitney decided to try and seek  a new life of solace with the fridge people; perhaps they would laugh at her jokes?

 

 

 

 

Chapter 8.1

Chapter 8.1 – Bored yet?

‘It feels like we’ve been waiting here for around a month,’ Tremayne said, his cold robotic eyes staring blankly ahead. ‘Still, I can’t believe we’ve reached the 8th generation.  I thought things would have started to get tedious by this point, or that I would have tried to drown myself in the ocean again.’‘Err, don’t forget that Maple’s fronting this generation,’ Alice replied, her ghost face heavily weighing the regret of ever having a child with Ricky Bailey, no matter how damn sexy he had become.‘Alright, time to give my garage rapping skills a go!  So Solid Crew, don’t fail me now!’‘Twenty-one seconds, tut, tut, tut!’  ‘If anyone needs me, I’ll be at the beach.’Things weren’t all bad.  Honest.  Somehow, Twix and Whitney had a high relationship level and spent most their elder days flirting with one another; a disturbing sight, some might say, but otherwise cute.‘Darling, your hand feels like sandpaper against my face.’ Pistachio, the youngest of their children, had joined the military career soon after graduating from University.  Unfortunately, he had to start from level one as he found out the hard way that a degree in Physical Education is only beneficial for the Athletic career path.  This would be the last time he took advice from the ghost of Jameson Bailey.Almond, the eldest, was already level five or so in her business career.  At this point, her long term boyfriend, Gary, had been living at the Bailey household for a few years.  She suggested that it was time they moved out and started a life on their own.‘But we get free everything here!’ Gary whined.            Almond kissed him to shut him up.And also secretly bought a new house for them to live in.    ‘Alight!  Now Nicole can move in and sponge of the family funds!’And so she did, and Maple did not approve at all.  She often complained about this to Nicole when Pistachio was not around.‘Those hot-dogs aren’t cheap either!’‘I can’t wait to boot you out, along with my annoying little bro… Oh hey, Pistachio!’‘Gee, is that the time?’   Maple said, looking at her watch-less wrist.  ‘I’d best be off to watch that So Solid Crew documentary!’Meanwhile, Gnome Bunny wondered if anything interesting was actually going to happen this chapter.Yes, was the answer.  Cory had recently moved into the neighbourhood, something to do with his career.  He decided to visit Maple one day, just to mess with her emotions.‘Play it cool, Mape.’   ‘….’‘So, are you here so we can have children and get married?’‘Sure….’ Cory winced as he felt Maple breathe heavily against his neck.‘Well, this generation is going to interesting,’ Chewie, the last remaining dog in the Bailey household, said.And perhaps he was right.

 

 

Chapter 7.10

Chapter 7.10 If you don’t succeed, maybe you should give up

The years flew on by, at least quick enough for Pistachio to become a teenager.He possessed a determined nature, which meant he constantly spent his hours trying to master a single chin-up.    ‘Ngh!’ ‘Almost there!’The main thing was that he was a trier, and that was all his parents could ask for, particularly since he hoped to join the military one day.Almond also possessed a similar nature since she was interested in joining the business career once she was an adult.She had the hots for a guy in her class called Matt.  Rumour had it, his eyebrows had their own personalities.Unfortunately, none of them were interested in Almond.Since it was the final main chapter in this generation, Ewok decided it was a good enough time to kick the bucket.She was excited to see Snowy again, and also gain the ability to fly.The Grim Reaper happily accepted her request and gave her Peter Pan-like powers.It was all well and good, until she noticed that there was a ceiling above her, and that Grimmy had “forgotten” to open up the portal to the other realm.

‘Craaaap!’A few days later, and a lot of scrubbing blood off the ceiling, the realisation of getting old hit Twix hard.‘I’m getting old.’  Sadly, as it was his birthday, there was not much that could be done.Reluctantly, he blew out his candles and prayed he still had a few more years left in him.Whitney, who loved birthday cake perhaps a little bit too much, cleaned up the table in her own special fashion the following morning.Naturally, Ricky Bailey did not approve.As for Maple, she did not care as she saw the real life Milky Bar Kid at school the very same day and decided after this that she had to pursue a career in the film industry.Twix did not give too much of a damn either as he managed to reach his life-time wish and cooked up an awesome curry to celebrate.  All in all, it was a pleasant generation.Right, same as last time, the voting poll will be posted up before the usual University bonus chapters.  This worked well with the previous generation so thought it’d be a good idea to keep it this way 🙂  There’s also a 7 or so day age gap between Maple and Pistachio, so it makes sense really.   Also, like last time, the voting poll will remain up for a week or two, during this time Maple’s and possibly Almond’s University chapters will be posted up.  After that, once the winner is announced, Pistachio’s bonus chapters will be uploaded, then we will proceed with Generation 8!

The poll will emerge soon.  Please keep your eyes peeled 😉 x x x

             

Chapter 7.8

Chapter 7.8 Backup children

Maple soon became obsessed with boys.‘Dad, can you get pregnant without having sex?  I may have an issue otherwise…’The stupidity of his eldest daughter frustrated him more than it worried him.Twix soon swiftly remembered that he had other children with potential, thus decided his time was best spent developing them into well-rounded individuals.His main focus was Pistachio, who had a clear interest in fitness and Pokemon.  The young boy was hoping to pursue some form of physical career, such as the military or as an athlete.Whitney did her best to ensure that Pistachio would achieve his lifetime goal.‘You may need to consider cutting down on eating cake.’  Whitney tried to break the news to him as gently as she could.‘Hell no!’ Pistachio said.However, he had no choice in the matter.

‘I sure can’t wait to dig into these delicious pancakes, mmm!’ Almond teased whilst her younger brother wrote an essay based on nutrition and fitness.‘God dammit I hate you,’ Pistachio muttered.  Soon enough, it was Almond’s birthday and the focus of the chapter shifted to her.She grew up to be rather hot, in comparison to Maple anyway.In all honesty, it was not a difficult feat.The girls were excited when Prom time rolled around, despite neither of them had dates.  Almond chose not to, whilst Maple had scared away pretty much every guy she knew.Somehow, Maple managed to look somewhat decent.  Make-up was wondrous thing it seemed.Almond opted for Taylor Swift style hair and a cute red dress.‘I can’t wait to  dress up all pretty like you for my prom,’ Pistachio stated.It was at this point that the girls realised that their younger brother may end up becoming a bit of a cross dresser in the years to come.  They decided to keep this between themselves for the time being, and also made sure to put locks on their wardrobes, just in-case.

Chapter 7.7

Chapter 7.7 Not so good at science

By the time Pistachio was a toddler, Twix was smitten and forgot all about the reasons why he’d been upset about his son’s birth.He was also proud of Almond, the middle child.She had turned out to be a bit of a genius and was excellent at chess and a majority of other logic based games.Unfortunately, she was not so good at science.Speaking of science, both Twix and Whitney were still attempting to reach their lifetime goals by pursuing success in the very same career path.  In all honesty, it was not going well for either of them.At some point, Twix and Whitney allowed Maple and Almond to host a sleepover party.  Hershey and Allyson’s oldest child, Horace, was also invited since they were usually too busy out partying to look after him properly.  Horace’s younger brother, Mitchell, had been adopted by the family cat a few years back.  Anyone that dared to go near him got severely scratched in the face.The sleepover was pretty standard; the children sat and stood around looking bored, some did their homework whilst others ate salad.Naturally, it was decided that the best place to sleep was in the kitchen / dining room area – forget the massive living room on the other side of the house.Twix got absolutely no sleep since the children had used their bodies as weapons to barricade him in. Horace also had little sleep.  Mainly because he was too busy trying to take pictures of the ghosts who came out to play that night.Poor Pippy was far from amused.‘Sod off you little turd.’The following morning, Horace boast to Almond about interacting with one of their ancestors.  Almond did her best to feign interest, but in reality she actually did not really like Horace.As Maple approached her teenage years, Twix decided this was the best time to try and butter her up.He did this by treating her to pizza and telling her just how special she was to him and how she should not rush into any relationships until she was in her late forties.Maple seemed to buy into this.That was until Whitney decided to pull up a chair and join in.      ‘My dad brought me pizza and tried to put me off boys,’ Whitney revealed, mumbling her words through a mouthful of pizza.  ‘I lost my virginity the following day.’  

A few minutes later, Twix broke down in tears.And so, Maple celebrated another birthday which people would soon completely forget about.She blossomed into a lovesick teenager who would no doubt experience several pregnancy scares over the next few years.Cointreau, who still had a thing against inferior genetics, did not approve and hoped strongly that Maple would not get picked to front the next generation.

Chapter 7.6

Chapter 7.6  Yes, you should be embarrassed

Before long, it was time for Maple to grow up into a child.She did not turn out too bad; at least it was apparent that she had not inherited the historic Mika nose, thanks to Whitney.Almond also grew up to her next life stage and looked like a typical Bailey with her tanned complexion and brown hair, much to Ghost Cointreau’s satisfaction.Maple started to study hard at school, upon realising that she may not end up being the cute one of this generation.In the meantime, Almond continued to be cute and swiftly learned all the necessary toddler skills.Even Whitney found the time to help; a miracle considering she was on season 5 of Breaking Bad and was desperate to know how it was all going to end.Tremayne was even allowed to pitch in and opted to teach Almond how to talk, despite the fact that his robotic voice was hard enough for an adult to understand, let alone a toddler.Somehow, Almond picked up on things quickly and soon was speaking more coherently than Tremayne, much to his embarrassment.  The icing on the cake was when Almond started to mock his accent and jerky mannerisms.Following this, there was no doubt in Twix’s mind that Almond was going to grow up to be a genius.  Boy was he proud.Meanwhile, Whitney, who was heavily pregnant decided it was time to give the dogs their annual bath, instead of doing something practical, like, say, work on raising her skill points.Naturally, she fell into labour just as she was about to sit down to eat her dinner.At least it was all worthwhile.  She strolled out of hospital with a bonny baby boy, who she was certain was hers.It seemed that Whitney was the only one who was all smiles during the taxi ride home.  Twix was not as thrilled.  A boy had sounded like a great idea at the time, but now Twix realised that there was a strong possibility his son would turn out more masculine than him within the next five or so years.Because of this, Whitney primarily cared for baby Pistachio during the first few years of his life.Tremayne helped out too- mainly because Pistachio was unable to answer back to him and undermine him, at least for the time being.
