Week 5

Diem

Welcome back to Silver Bend! And Verde Valley, Silver Bend’s new business district!

The Pokemon household and extended family will settle here. We’ll be seeing more of

them later in the rotation.

Back to the Diems. Right to left: Jonah Delilah, Pony, Ambi, and Heather holding

Emma. Julie and Rebecca are sitting on the bench. And Bane is photo bombing in front.

Emma played in the nursery by herself. The rest of the house sound asleep. She didn’t mind to much. The bunny head was happy

to entertain her.“The cow says mooo.” The bunny head

droned.“Mooo!” Emma laughed along.

“It’s nice to get to tend the garden for a change.” I said watching my husband work.

“Yeah, you’ve been having the kids do everything.” Ambi replied.

“Well it’s hard to bend over when you’re pregnant.” I retorted. And Delilah loved the garden so much. I

wondered if all the businesses for her LTW were going to be organic grocery stores.

My goal this week was all about legacy portraits. I hadn’t had much time to work on

my creativity skills. So I spent the day on the easel.

Emma played behind me with Kay. Toddler spam was hard to resist. And I did love her

curly hair.

The dogs started howling, I rushed downstairs.

“Grim don’t!” I wailed.It is already done. The specter said fiddling

on his phone.

My poor Bane. It’s so hard to lose him again. Though I knew it was only for this

neighborhood. His bloodline lived on in Silver Bend, through

Courage.

I couldn’t mourn long. Emma needed attention.

“No cry Mommy.” Emma said.“I’ll be alright.” I smiled wiping my face,

“Now say Daddy.”“Dadda!”

Delilah and Heather both brought friends home from school. Bran Colours and newly

moved in Squirtle Pokemon. I felt so good to see her. She is the Pokemon Legacy heir.

Ambi didn’t give my kids time with their friends. He dragged them to College Club.

Delilah was nearing adulthood. We didn’t want her to miss out of college.

Ambi worked the ticket machine. None of the kids could dazzle as of yet.

The kids mostly goofed off. Jonah tried out his singing skills.

“Do whop, dooo whop!” He wailed.

Melissa apparently dug the song, she gave College Club rank 6.

After that, Ambi took the kids to AmbianSounds to work on their sales badges.

“Jonah you are the funniest person I know.”

“I know.” Jonah said smugly to Sophie Miguel.

He finally met a girl that wasn’t his sister.

Ambi kept the kids there for a while. AmbianSounds was rising in ranks. It wouldn’t be long

until it was level 10.

“What’s up Chloe?” Jonah said to the second girl he met.

“Do you guys have anymore radios? I need one to listen to my jams.”

“You mean that CD that Stephan Sugar recorded?”

“Yeah, it sounds like a wailing cat, but it speaks to me ya know?”

Ambi made a quick stop by Diem Digs too.“Anna!” Ambi gasped in surprise.

“I heard this was Pony’s shop, is she here?” Anna Pokemon asked.

“I’m her husband, she’s not here today.” Ambi apologized.

“Well, I’ll come back later then.”

Amanda Colours came by too. She gave Diem Digs rank 5.

Ambi finished building the walls for the shop. Now only Goddess Spa was incomplete.

“It’s so weird being a teen again.” Squirtle compained to Delilah.

“What do you mean again?”“Oh, I was in college in my old town. But we went through a time gate and it aged me and my triplets

down.”“You got to go to college? What was it like?”

“I think your sister is trying to get my attention.

Julie and Rebecca came home with homework.

“Mom, why can’t I go and play?” Julie whined.

“Homework first, then the beach.” I chided.

Delilah always brought Bran over. “It so awesome, we’re not the only ones in

high school anymore.” Delilah said excitedly.“Having you there is enough for me.” Bran

replied.

“Oh Bran.” Delilah sighed happily and kissed him.

After bedtime Delilah looked for her parents, no sign of them. They were probably

downstairs. She dialed Bran’s number. “Hey babe, sneak out with me.” She

whispered into the phone.“Sure, I’ll come pick you up.”

“Where’d you get this car?” Delilah asked excitedly.

“I borrowed a little money from Dad. But I have to sell it back by the end of the night so

get in.”

“Mom I had a crazy dream last night. A yellow car came and picked up Delilah and

flew off into space.”“That is a crazy dream.” I chuckled.

A few hours later when the kids were at school. Labor pains stabbed my belly.

“AMBI!” I screamed.

Aleece Lucas

Sonya James

Finally a blonde baby! Lucas had my hair color. And his dad’s blue eyes.

With Emma still being a toddler, we had to stash cribs where ever they would fit. Including the hallway for the stairs.

After school, I dragged my teenagers to our businesses. I had been stuck in the house

for three days and I was starting to go a little nuts.

Jonah didn’t mind too much. He got to meet Meadow Thayer.

“Pony it’s you.” Charrie sputtered.“Yes, my hair is different here.”

“You have kids?”“Yeah, ten of them.” I admitted.

I hugged her impulsively. “I’m glad you’re here safe.”

“Mom, she’s alive here.” Charrie said tears in her voice.

“I know Ambi told me.” I wiped her eyes, “I wasn’t sure it would work, but I’m so glad it

did.”

Charrie left and we closed up. But I had a surprise for Jonah.“Hey you were a great help today.” I told him, “I’m giving you

ownership of College Club.”“Really???”

“Yes, you want to be a professional party guest. You should learn how to mingle with people.”

“You’re the greatest Mom!” Jonah whooped.

We headed over there next. So Jonah could get the hang of things. He had a gold sales

badge now. I would just tend the bar to keep an eye on him.

Ani-Mei Starr made an appearance. Jonah let her and Marylena in for free. We can’t

bankrupt our neighbors.

Delilah took over the bar for a bit. Mel, Charmeleon Phoenix, was hitting her up for

shots. Joe Carr gave us rank 7.

Jill Fleig got a chance to work on her creativity skill by singing karaoke.

A/N: I put in a skilling on community lot hack. Mainly for Star Gazing Park. But it

looks like we’re gonna benefit other places too.

We were going to all the businesses. I spruced up Diem Digs. It was finally looking

like a real shop.

I finally got to see Anna.“Pony.” She smiled shaking my hand. So much meaning was conveyed in that one

word.“Anna.” I smiled back.

While I was getting reacquainted with Anna, Jonah was making his own acquaintances. He gathered up his nerve and gave Sophie

Miguel his first kiss.

Last but not least. I let Delilah buy her first business. Silver Bend Shops was going to be a grocery store and clothing store. After she got it to level ten, we were going to release it back to the community as an unowned lot so

everyone could get clothes and groceries.

Delilah had a talent for business, it was quickly Rank 3. It seems Silver Bend had a

craving to fresh food.

Delilah even sold some of the vegatables she had grown herself. I gave her the fish I had

caught in the pond outside to sell too.

Bran was quickly to congratulate her upon returning home. Nothing like a back

massage to rub out the kinks.

Six pm rolled around and it was time for Emma to grow up.

“Woo pink!” Julie cheered.“Yay I have hands!” Emma clapped excitedly.

“Hey Squirtle, come pick me up.” Delilah whispered into the phone.

“Let me sneak away from my mom.” Squirtle agreed.

“Hurry, my mom is still awake.” Delilah urged.

“I’m going.” Squirtle said gently pressing down the gas petal.

“Hey Benny was that you making all that noise?”

“Ruff!” Benny wagged his tail.

“Emma where are you? It’s time to go to school.”

“Bark!” Courage alerted to Emma hiding behind the dog house.

“Do I have to go to school? What if I can’t make any friends?”

“Don’t be silly, your sisters will be there. You'll make friends in no time.”

“Okay, if you say so.”“Scoot, on that bus with you.” I said giving

Courage a treat.

Just before noon it was time for dog birthdays. Hanna was now an elder. Kay

grew up to a lovely young dog.

Delilah fitted her with a collar after school. After having a dog run away in a BACC. I wasn’t willing to risk it happening again.

I took the kids to the businesses again. I fished and let them handle everything.

Ambian Sounds gained another rank. A dance party broke out at College Club.I dug for treasure at Diem

Digs and sold two chests for a little over $5,000.

After putting $100,000 in the Uni fund. We spent the rest on Silver Bend shops.

Both sides were finally fully furnished. Though managing both sides was going to be

tricky.

Jonah and Heather were happy to meet other teens. Jonah hit it off with Brittany Parker and Heather struck out with Alvin

Futa.

Back home it was quad birthday time!

There was some glitches with the cake. So some of the kiddos got to go twice.

James was really active and a tad mean. Like most of his siblings. Good thing Ambi

didn’t have hair long enough to pull.Lucas was neat and squirmy, if a tad serious

and shy.

I tossed Sonya into the air. She was a sloppy outgoing tot with a heart of gold and

an everlast battery.

Ambi tossed Aleece, her cake glitched and she needed a quick diaper change. She’s very

outgoing, active, and playful, but not very nice.

In the midst of the birthdays, Brittany Parker dropped off a piano for Jonah. I made him stow it in his inventory. He could use it for

money or fun when he got to college.

It was a full blown toddler training party upstairs.

Rebecca and Emma taught nursery rhymes while Ambi and I focused on walking

and talking. Jonah entertained us on our

piano.

Thankfully all the little darlings collapsed on their blanket after a short while.

“Ambi, I want another baby.” I confessed, watching all those toddler birthdays made my heart hurt.

“Really, ten isn’t enough?”“I guess not, but this would be the last one.” I said firmly, “I

want to live long enough to see all my children grow up.”“Alright one more.”

Ambi hauled his teenager to College Club. With Pony pregnant he would be in charge of

running the businesses. They weren’t far from her goal of $1,000,000 for the Uni

Fund. They had pitched in $200,000 this week. He was going for another $100,000

this time.

Jonah was learning lots about people and how to be the life of the party. He started a

smustle party in the middle of the club.

“I hear that you’re going to college soon young man.” Clarence chatted up Jonah.

“Yes, my parents are super excited about it.”“Well keep up the good work.”

To Jonah college was all well and good. But having a date with Squirtle Pokemon was

more exciting.

“Courage stop barking.” Delilah shushed. She was up to her usual sneaking out into

the night. This time with Chloe.

Courage was starting to get a little up there. The house was a little too full to breed him

and Kay. Jonah fed him some kibble of life to buy some time.

Kay was having some trouble with the local wildlife. She lost a fight with Moody one of

the leaders of the local wolf packs.

It was back to toddler training while the older kids were at school.

“James say Daddy.” Ambi coaxed.“Pappa!” James giggled.

Aleece liked to sing to herself and picked her nose. Eew but she was still cute.

I popped into my second trimester after becoming best friedns with James.

“Hey Courage, hey Hanna.” Dagmar said greeting the dogs.

A/N: This is a constant greeting in my house. I named my new puppy Courage after SimCourage

and SimHanna is modeled off of real Hanna.

After school it was off to the businesses, this time Silver Bend Shops. Ambi and Jonah

furnished the outside area. Heather whipped up some tasty hotdogs to celebrate.

Brandon Lillard gave Delilah rank 5. She spent her points on the money perk earning her a cool

$50,000.

After that they headed to College Club.

Today was play poker with your neighbor day. Most of the clubs patrons were playables.

Who got in free of charge.

It took awhile, but they final made $100,000 to add to the Uni Fund. Jonah closed up

feeling successful.

Afternoon time was play time. Or it was for me. I played with Courage while the girls

worked on the garden.

Ryan Phoenix was brought home from school. He is Charmeleon and Jimmy Phoenix only

child.

Another set of birthdays with round. This time Rebecca and Julie had their turn.

“Move over Becca I want to use the mirror.” Julie said shoving her sister aside. It was time for a new do.

Julie wanted to be popular and to become Silver Bend’s Law. So she could make all the rules.

Rebecca wanted to focus on family and to become a Captain Hero. She would always be at her sister’s side.

Saturday rolled around and that means Reno Day. I focused mainly in the upstairs family

room.

I wanted it to be place to hang out as a family. But I’m not 100% satisfied with the

results but funds were running out.

I also made a back deck. All legacies need a telescope mine was no exception. But we

had a beautiful view of the beach.

“You guys should really put some clothes on.” I told my daughters at breakfast.

“So should you Mom.” Heather said between bites.

“When you’re pregnant you can run around in your pajamas.”

Speaking of pregnant. I did help the girls a little bit in the garden, but I entered my third

trimester. “I’m going try to catch a nap.”

“Okay Mom, we can finish here.” Delilah waved me off. She loved the garden even

more than I did.

I did try to take a nap, but Ambi had other ideas.

I did eventually sleep. While I was napping there was a who can bathe the toddlers

competition.

Alice Clitheroe stopped by to make off with our invisible paper. I guess Delilah can’t steal

it from our house.

The bathe the toddler race didn’t last long. It was time for the Quads birthday.

Aleece

James

Lucas

Sonya

The oldest three couldn’t sleep. So Ambi took them up to College Club one last time

for the week.

Delilah made friends with Phil Jitmakusol and he gave College Club the stars for rank 8.

There was plenty of time for goofing around too.

“You are so beautiful to mee!!!” Heather wailed into the microphone.

After the duet with Heather Delilah wanted to work on her creativity. She bullied Jonah into

buying her an easel.

There so much fun going on inside that no one noticed the lightning strike outside.

Fortunately the rain put it out.

Ambi decide to try out the telescope. Space was massive, there just had to be life out

there.

“Hey Keika, you want to bring the kids over?”“Sure Pony, we’ll be over in a second.” Keika

agreed.I wanted to solidify my tenuous friendship with Keika. She was pretty busy with two

kids and a baby on the way. This should give her a nice day to relax.

Keika came from next door, but I also called Charrie and her kids. Can’t overlook having a solid relationship with my legacy family either.

The kids started a fishing party in the pond. It was a great way for them all to get to

know each other better.

“Ambi!” I hollered, of course Rebecca and our guest came running too. But it didn’t matter

because my baby was coming.

My last girl was a happy natured baby, waving to everyone in the room. I named

her Kayley. She had blue eyes and red hair just like most of her siblings.

Kayley in the crib and after a hot tub session with Ambi; all of us adults trooped upstairs to

test out the family room.

After a couple hours, I called Delilah upstairs to spend some time with.

“So you’ll be going to college at the end of the week.” I said casually.She stopped pulling the chess pieces out and looked at me in shock.

“Really?”“Yep, by the time Bran’s dad pays the taxes we’ll have enough to

have a college. You’ll be our first student.”

Lucas decided he needed a new hair do. A little gel and an hour later he found a style

he liked.

I sent all the guest home and called the whole family down to the beach. This was going to the last time all of us lived

together and I wanted to make the most of it.“If you look far enough and hard enough, you’ll be able to

see beyond the horizons.” Ambi said dreamily.“And foreign lands.” I added. Arbor Watch was out there. I

just had to decide if I wanted to go back.

So big chapter over, yay! Lots of time at the businesses this session. Delilah

was only a few days away from adulthood. So I made a blitz for

college. Got pretty close too. Just need $6,000 more, which Thai’s family can easily provide. So I’ll be sending Delilah to Uni before the end of the

rotation.On to the Colours
