Week 3Clitheroe

We’re back in Silver Bend for Week 3! It’s finally Keika turn! I randomly drew a WYDC for dear Keika.

Rules are linked on Silver Bend’s main thread on Boolprop. This challenge is going to be great for

Silver Bend’s population.

Keika knelt down in the warm sand, pail in hand. Pony had remembered her

promised beach lot. Now she just needed a castle.

The sand was too dry and the sand castle slumped in on itself. Oh well, Keika sighed,

she should turn her attention to the challenge at hand.

Her beach house wasn’t much. Only the bathroom was closed in completely. She would have to have a long talk with Pony

about this.

There was also a small garden plot. Pony mentioned that Keika would have to grow

her own food. At least for a little while.

As soon as she started planting her first male visitor walk by. Charlie Tang, if she

remembered correctly.

Apparently Silver Bend residents were extremely curious, cause Phil Jitmakusol

showed up soon after Charlie.

Then the welcome wagon showed up. Ambi and Amanda hadn’t met Keika yet and they brought Talin along with them.

Cashew followed the trail of people.“Aww aren’t you cute.” Keika said patting

the wolf on the head. Pony wasn’t going to give her a free dog, so she’d get her own.Cashew wagged his tail and snuffled her

pockets for treats.

The flood of visitors refuses to stop, Kobe and Grimalkin showed up too.

Though they didn’t get along particular well. Grimalkin rushed the little cat.

“That wasn’t very nice of you.” Keikascolded the wolf. He glanced at the

ground before wagging his tail in mute apology.

The animals left after awhile. Keika went down to the beach where her human visitors were playing. Charlie was nice enough, but refuse to respond to her

overtures.

“Hey, Phil you want to go out?” Keika asked after chatting up Phil for a few hours.

“I’m sorry Keika you’re not really my type.”“Oh okay.” Keika sighed, this challenge was not going

well so far.

So her first day was a bit of a bust. The wolves ran away before she could adopt

them and no luck with men. Well tomorrow she would do better.

“Hi I’m Keika.” she said greeting the mailman.

“Pao Mellon, you’re new here.”“Yeah, just moved in yesterday.”

“Nice seeing a small town like this grow a bit.”

“Yeah, Pony dragged me out here.”“Well, I’m glad she did.” Pao replied

blushing a little, “Nice to meet you Keika.”“You too Pao. I’ll see you tomorrow then?”“Rain, sleet, snow or hail.” Pao promised.

Keika puttered around for a little while before picking up the phone.

“Hey Charlie, want to come over for a bit?”

“Sure I’d love to.”

Charlie brought over his friend Cameron. “Charlie, you would go on a date with me?” Keika

asked a bit nervously with Cameron and another walk by standing so close.

“I’m sorry Keika, I know better than to date simselves, I’ve heard the stories.”

“Heard the stories indeed!” Keika swore going to bed. If she had her powers she

would smite the loser.

Her little tomatoes plants were struggling to grow in the fall air. Keika did her best to

keep them from getting sick.

Plants taken care of, Keika called up Pao.“Hi Pao, I saw you finish your mail run, you got any plans for

tonight?” She asked.“Not really.”

“You want to come over, I don’t have any friends here yet.”“I’d love to.”

“Thanks for coming over Pao, it’s to get to know someone around.”

“Thanks for inviting me.” Pao blushed, “You have a beautiful lot.”

“Pao, will you go out with me?” Keikaasked, relieved there wasn’t a live

audience this time.“Yes, you’re really nice Keika, I’d like to get

to know you better.”

“You have incredible shoulders Pao.” Keikasaid running her hand up his arm.

“It’s the mail bag. I never have to go to the gym.”

It didn’t take long for Keika to nurture the connection between them. She genuinely liked Pao, she hoped he would understand

the nature of her challenge.

“The waves are beautiful.” Pao said dreamily.

“Yes they are.” Keika replied her voice soft.

Keika fell asleep, she heard the tinkle of the lullaby. Her first child was on it’s way.

“Goodbye Pao.” Keika said the next morning.

“Sorry, I have to leave so early.”“I’ll call you later.”

The sun came up along with the weeds. She sighed, hopefully they would have a grocery store soon. So she wouldn’t have

to keep up with these plants.

Keika spied someone walking down the sidewalk. She rushed over, he was a cutie.

“Hi, I’m Keika.”“Craig Ray.”

“I like your pants.”

They chatted a bit while Keika gather her nerve. She was pregnant but it wouldn’t hurt to start a relationship with

the next baby daddy.“Hey, you’re a cool guy, wanna go on a date?”

“Ha, okay.” Craig chuckled.

Keika kissed Craig goodbye as night fell. The date went rather well.

“Can I see you again?” Craig asked in a dazed voice.

“Most certainly.” Keika promised.

Thai was a regular caller checking on her to see how she was settling in.

“Are you going to tell Pao?” He asked when Keika announced her pregnancy.

“I don’t know. I should, but I can’t exactly say hey I’m pregnant with your baby, but going to cheat on you outrageously with 25 other men. In order

to complete a challenge laid on me by the goddess of this realm.”

Thai really didn’t have any answers either. Keika hung up the phone and went to tend

the money trees she had planted. Pony hadn’t said anything against them, and

gainful employment was impossible until she found a husband.

In the wee hours of the morning, her baby made itself known.

“There had better only be one of you.” Keika told her stomach. Twins seemed to be an epidemic in Silver Bend.

Over half the pregnancies had been twins.

Keika checked her bank account and realized she had enough funds to

purchased the community lot Pony set aside for her. She decided to open a spa,

thinking of her swollen ankles.

After breakfast she headed up to newly open Goddess Spa. The lot wasn’t the

greatest, a hill took up half the left side. She would have to figure out how to work

around it.

She plopped down an energizer and got to digging. There wasn’t even enough money

to purchased the ticket seller thingy.

Her luck turned around and the first thing she dug up was a treasure chest. Keika

sighed in relief.

She shooed all the guests to the sidewalk and got to work. It wasn’t much but it was

a start.

The customers were only charged one dollars an hour while she practiced her

selling skills.

“This place is gonna be great Keika.” Juan gushed.

“One day, but I’m closing up for now.” Keika smiled, her feet were killing her.

“Okay open it up soon!”

Back home the phone was ringing off the hook.“Thai?”

“I had an idea, just tell Pao it’s a alien baby.”“I don’t think that’ll work Thai.”

“Never know until you try.”

“Craig!” Keika gasped in surprise.“Sorry I couldn’t stay away.” He grinned

sheepishly. “What’s this?” He said looking at her stomach.

“I guess I should tell you about that…” Keika said reluctantly.

So she did, but she didn’t expect him to laugh.

“I’m sorry, Keika, but that can’t be true.”“It is, go next door and ask Pony yourself.”

“Okay, I’ll believe you.” Craig said, “I still want to date you.”

“Really?” Keika couldn’t help it, Craig was a giant doofus but she was starting to have

feeling for him.“Really.”

Saturday morning found her tending the money trees again. She couldn’t believe

her first week was almost up.

The money trees gave her an extra $120 to help with a small Reno Day. She need the

nursery complete with the baby on the way.

Not entirely finished, but good enough for now. Next week she would hopefully have

enough for a changing table.

The tomatoes were finally doing alright. Thanks to her newly minted bronzed

gardening badge.

She invited Pao over intending to tell him about his baby.

“Wait a minute Keika, your money trees are almost ready to harvest.”

“What??” She blinked at him, the money tree leaves began to glow softly.

Pao turned around and helped himself to her much needed cash. Keika had to stop herself from hitting him with the watering

pail.“Pao you need to leave.” She said hotly.

“Did that mean mailman hurt you?” She murmured to her poor plants. They didn’t seem any worse for wear after Pao helped

himself.

The money harvest wasn’t the only one ready. The tomatoes put on a few meager fruits. Keika didn’t care, her and the baby

would have food for a little while now.

Keika showered after harvesting the tomatoes. In true legacy fashion she went

into labor in the bathroom.

Alice was born with much fuss. She had Keika’s gold-green eyes and brown hair.“You look just like mommy.” Keika said

cuddling her infant close.

She fed Alice and tucked in the yellow crib. Alice burbled and clench her little fist.

“Even if your daddy is a rotten thief, you’re still cute.” Keika said tickling the little girl’s

belly.

Keika crawled into her own bed. Grateful to be in her regular pajamas again.

“Keika! You’re not pregnant anymore.” Craig exclaimed when he came over the

next day.“I gave birth you idiot.” Keika couldn’t help

but laugh.

“I really like you Keika.” Craig said in all seriousness.

“I really like you too Craig.” Keika said weaving her hand in his.

. . .

A few hours later Keika was woken up by the phone ringing.“Did you tell Pao?” Thai asked.

“Nope, but I’m not going to worry about him.”“Ah, Craig’s come over again hasn’t he.”

“Yep.”“And you’re pregnant again.”

“Yep.”“Gonna tell him?”

“More than that, I’m going to marry him.”

I’m caught up on all my Silver Bend writing yippee!Keika had a interesting first week. I’m torn between moving in Craig as soon as

Alice is old enough, or waiting until a later time. To get the point bonus. Though it’ll make it hard to run Goddess Spa at least until Alice is a teen. Thai and Keika

have really hit it off, of course Thai calls her all the time. I’m gonna have to change his name to Marsha :P.

I’m having a bit of a debate whether to add in custom townies. I do have a few legacy sims already downloaded. But I can’t decide whether I want to add them

in or not.Feel free to leave an opinion in the comments thread.

It’s off to Laguna isle and the NEW Pokémon Legacy for at least a rotation. I really need to get their chapter out. And my play days are going to be cut down

cause I’ll be starting a second job.I’ll be a part time puppy trainer, I’m so excited. I just hope it doesn’t cut into my

new years resolution too much.Happy Simming everybody!
