Chapter Six

When Bernard gets home from the salon, he finds his house has been taken over by a group of loud and rowdy pajama clad children. Turns out he had forgotten that Lolita had told the girls that it was okay to have a sleep over that weekend, but Bernard had expected maybe one or two classmates, not seventeen!

Turns out, two pizza's might not be enough. Meal time was an exercise in futility, most of the kids standing around shouting about not getting to the food first. Five got fed up at left just as it was time to turn in, but the rest had a decent enough time. Bernard makes note to never let that many kids come to a sleep over ever again.

The girls didn't mind that some of their friends left, in fact by the time they woke the next morning everyone was already gone, so they busied themselves playing make believe in the tree house.

That evening it's Lolita and Bernard's birthdays, Loli is first up to the cake.

You know, I've heard stories about women who get older and start menopause experiencing some odd hair growth, but that takes the cake!

Even though by now Lolita's a pop star, she still does all the house work on her own. She sometimes wonder why she doesn't have an army of underlings to do all this for her.

Bernard invents a miner and starts leaving huge holes all over town.

Sometimes he falls down the holes.

A family of Cockatoos take roost on the back path near the Webb house.

Bernard decides to keep one as a pet.

Hey, look. Lookit. Look what I made! Look! I made this for you, because I love you.

Old timey armor helps him drill better.

Dot has a birthday...

And becomes a geeky teen.

"You're going to get pimples now." Margo informs her. "Especially if you eat all that cake."

Dot, stop trying to sell your little sister on Craigslist.

Lolita is asked to go to China, her agent feels like she doesn't reach enough other countries outside of Sim Nation. When she gets there, she instantly forgets what she was suppose to be doing, so instead she spends the week entering tombs and stealing shit.

She quickly decides the next trip she goes on, is going to be to Cabo.

Oh good, a sign post in case she gets lost. Too bad she can't read Sim Mandarin. If she did, she'd know it says 'turn back now, only doom and no washrooms await you down those stairs'.

Oh, sparkly!

Lolita is exhausted by the time she gets to the center of the stupid maze like tomb she was sent into, she eyes the ax on the wall warily. "You look heavy, I don't do heavy."

"Ugh, yeah, totally heavy!"

Lolita gets serious tied of dive wells, she's spent most of the trip soggy and keeps belly flopping into them.

So she takes out some of her aggression, by beating up an old lady in her own house. Nice one Loli.

Back home, Bernard paints topless. He doesn't realize that the sound of Margo running away screaming in terror is because of his new tattoo.

Hmm, what a lovely scenic place... to cause unwanted destruction.

Britta's a dinosaur! You better watch it Woolies, she's eat you up for lunch.

What the hell!? Bernard, I can't leave you alone for five minutes.
"Gnomes, everywhere, gnomes. Biting and evil, like some twisted and crappy 80's Wes Craven film." He pants out before running home.

Bernard rushes home to shower and change after his run in with the nightmare gnomes, because it's Britta's birthday and he can't miss it.

Although he'd really like everyone to hurry up and get to the eating part, he's literally dying here.

Britta becomes a teen and is already planing her years of Donna Noble cosplay.


Notes:
That's two teens, now all I need is Margo to age up. I think Dot's going to be heir, it was hard to choose between the two because they're both pretty but Dot's traits are more amusing to me, so she won out. 

Lolita went to China for a work opportunity but the second she got there it dropped from her queue, which happens to me all the time and is really annoying. So I figured, instead of sending her home and wasting all that money, she might as well explore a little. I didn't sell anything she found, and she didn't make any money, so I don't consider it cheating. All the money bags she found are in their newly made basement in a chest, uncashed until I roll an adventurer. If I don't, well at this point they're doing okay so it's not like they need it.

Dot's teen trait is Artistic and Brttia's is Perfectionist.

  1. Bernard's encounter with the nightmare gnomes made me laugh!

    Dot is utterly adorable as a teen and Britta does look scarily like Donna Noble
