ENRIQUE: Yes, I would like to book a ticket to Twikkii Island. Actually, make that three tickets. No, a hotel won’t be necessary.

DAKOTA: Look man, I don’t want no part of what you’re doing.ENRIQUE: Then why are you following me with your suitcase?DAKOTA: Because I wanna meet some exotic honeys.ENRIQUE: You always think with your lower head don’t you.DAKOTA: Maybe if you did you wouldn’t be so uptight.

DAKOTA: I can’t believe I let you talk me into coming down here.ENRIQUE: I didn’t do anything.DAKOTA: Hey, where is the kid going?ENRIQUE: He needs some time.

DAKOTA: Fine, now that we’re alone you can tell me what’s up.ENRIQUE: Are you sure you can handle it?DAKOTA: No.ENRIQUE: Good. You already know that we’re guardians, me and you. Our job is to prevent this legacy from unraveling the entire human-magical fabric of reality, and to do that we must protect the legacy at all costs. That boy is our assurance, you know, in case anything should happen to his sister and her offspring.

DAKOTA: So basically you turned us into babysitters?ENRIQUE: Kota, do you understand how important this is? No, don’t even answer that. I’ll keep an eye on him, in the mean time I’ve got something for you to do.DAKOTA: Of course, do you ever not have something for me to do? At least this time I’m not going to be cleaning dog crap.ENRIQUE: I’m going to check on the boy.

ENRIQUE: Hey kid, you okay?SALEM: Do you always ask stupid questions?ENRIQUE: Ah…I’m sorry. Look, I know things pretty much suck now, but later, you’ll see why this had to happen. Dakota and me’ll teach you everything you need to know and then you’ll be able to help your sister, you may even be able to see your family again.

SALEM: Sorry. What do I have to learn anyway?ENRIQUE: Everything you need to know about magic, creatures and who you need to keep an eye on.SALEM: Magic? What are you talking about?ENRIQUE: Are you completely oblivious to the fact that your father is a warlock?SALEM: …I just thought he was crazy!

DAKOTA: ‘Leave when the boy goes to sleep Dakota’, he tells me, he should have just said, ‘don’t sleep tonight Dakota’, his ass is snoring away! ‘Go find the link on Twikkii Island Dakota! No I don’t know where he is’. Really Enrique, and you call yourself a guardian? Seriously, you were doing this thing for decades man! I have got to stop talking to myself.

DAKOTA: Hey babe, can I ask you a few questions?CARA: Are you a cop?DAKOTA: No. I’m a tourist and I’ve been told that strange things happen on this island, can you tell me about any that you’ve heard of?CARA: A couple tourists have said that the ghost of the captain is still on the ship behind me. You can go check it out. By the way, my name is Cara, if you do not find your ghost, here is my phone number, you can give me a call.

DAKOTA: I’m the king of the wooooorrrrrrrlllllllldddddddd!!!!! There ain’t no damn pirate ghost on this boat, the only thing I found was a stinking captain’s log…I’m talking to myself again.

DAKOTA: Aloha! Hey, have any of you heard of a ghost onboard this ship?LOCAL: No way brah! TOURIST: You believe that? You’re a weirdo.

CHEF: Hey, I saw you wandering around here since I came to work. Are you looking for something?DAKOTA: Yeah, I’m into local myths and legends, someone told me I could find a ghost onboard that ship. But I didn’t so I’m a bit disappointed.CHEF: Maybe you should try finding a map to the Witch Doctor’s Hut. They say the Witch Doctor lurks in the secret places of this tropical paradise, try digging in the sand for a map.

DAKOTA: I swear I spent more than half of my life holding onto a shovel.

DAKOTA: Finally! Oh my gawd! I can smell myself!....how loud did I say that? *sigh* time to head home I guess, see where I’m gonna be sent next.

DAKOTA: Augh! My back!

DAKOTA: Morning Sunshine!SALEM: It’s eight in the night Dakota, you slept all day.DAKOTA: Oh…so how are you holding up with the whole depression thing?SALEM: I get a little bit better every day.DAKOTA: Let me tell you something kid, you’re a lucky one. At least you got to meet your family. Rique is all I’ve got, my mother dropped me on him three days after I was born to go off chasing some vampire named Odayst. The only thing she ever gave me was her last name.

ENRIQUE: Hey, I’m back. What were you talking about?DAKOTA: Nothing, just this awesome spaghetti the kid cooked, man I had to have seconds. Oh well, look at the time, I should be heading back out.ENRIQUE: You found something?DAKOTA: Just a map that may or may not be for tourist entertainment. It’s supposed to lead me to some Witch Doctor’s place.ENRIQUE: Put that photographic memory of yours to work and memorize the map, just in case we have to come looking for you.

DAKOTA: Wish I could find a map that would help my life to make some sense, wish something could take me where I need to go. *sigh*

DAKOTA: Woah, this is a nice little place the Witch Doc got here, nestled in the middle of nowhere, hiding secret maps and junk.

DAKOTA: Dude! Do you have any idea how hard it was to find you?WD: That is the idea. I would offer you a snack but all of my appliances are broken.DAKOTA: Really? Maybe you should try living near civilization and then you’d be able to hire a repairman. I’ll help you out but you’d better be a real Witch Doctor because there won’t be nobody to hear you scream out here.

DAKOTA: Seriously! Is there a sign on my forehead that says for hire or something? I wonder what the dude is doing?

DAKOTA: Oh hell no! Fine, if that’s the game he want’s to play.

WD: Thanks a lot, here take this as a token of my appreciation, I had made it for the guy who sold me the appliances but you’ll probably find better use for it.

DAKOTA: Honey, I’m home!ENRIQUE: Dakota? Where were you? We were looking for you for two days.DAKOTA: Oh, I was just fixing some stuff while the Witch Doctor slept. Was it really two days? Felt like only a couple hours to me.

DAKOTA: He gave me this voodoo doll for my efforts. Do you think it’s real?ENRIQUE: If it is then that means that our work here is done and we can get on with finding the other links. It probably is, I mean there was definitely a time warp phenomenon, you were gone longer than you thought and Salem and I couldn’t find you. I’ll call a cab, it’s time to go home.

SALEM: Are you coming Dakota?DAKOTA: Yeah, I was just…thinking…

FARIDAE: Omigosh! My first day at work and I’ll be late.Faridae took a job in the Dance career track and for the sake of tradition here are her stats:6/5/8/5/5-ScorpioKnowledge & Grilled CheeseLTW: Become a world class ballet dancerTurn On: Blond & Charismatic Turn Off: Logical

This dude is Ethan Patch, a friend of Faridae’s. They were rather good friends so I decided that he was husband material.

They hit it off immediately. I told her waiting for all the dating and junk would be worth it . Problem is though, I’m kinda scared of Ethan’s genes, he’s like, the male version of Marylena and I don’t know how his genes will mix with Fair’s.

The next day Fair invited Ethan over and they started making out immediatley.

Later that night she proposed….

And they got married immediately. I don’t know why Ethan has that thingy for marrying a rich sim over his head, the Spelmans have a little more than a grand. Actually it was Ethan who brought in $13,000. I’ll have to change his aspiration, it’s stuck at grow up. But he’s in the military career as an astronaut.

Here’s a promotion picture, apparently the married life suits Fair.

In the mean time, somebody else was finding love. This is Hailey Shaw, his childhood friend.

She got the crush first, Albert sees himself as a bit of a player…Ethan’s friend, why are you in my shot?

ETHAN’S FRIEND: *sigh* Young love…

He wasted no time asking her to go steady but that’s only because he wants to be able to rub in his sister’s face that he had a girlfriend when he was a teen and she couldn’t date.

Miss Heir is tinkering away, trying to get a talent badge and hopefully be able to make a servo. Getting talent badges is hard!

Albert’s aspiration was still set at grow up and I didn’t look at the meter before I sent him to change it, so he became a grilled-cheese sim and harasses people endlessly about grilled cheese. It is not that interesting Albert. I have no problem with him being a grilled cheese sim because his wife’s secondary aspiration is grilled cheese.

This guy doesn’t seem to mind talking about grilled cheese though…

Marylena who, I had completely forgotten about, got to work on the portraits, Lucus’ is already hanging in the hall.

MARYLENA: *sigh* A work of art…

Ha! Thought you could pull a fast one and grow up without me noticing huh Albert, you’ve already done that like three times dude!

He grew up sexy I love his bone structure! Now the truth of this whole picture:

Okay, I admit it, I neglected the sims in this legacy a lot…sorry y’all.

He invited Hailey over and they picked up where they left off. He finally feels something for her…minus the bolts.

He proposed immediately and asked her to move in. She accepted both bringing in a boat load of cash…that just makes what I’m about to do to them even more torturous.

I don’t know what’s up with Hailey and that negative thingy over her head, but her aspiration is still set to grow so that may have something to do with it.

HAILEY: Or maybe it’s because she doesn’t want to be drawn into this legacy mess!

LUCUS: Listen Adrian, you’re going out into the world and I won’t be able to protect you from Pixx.ALBERT: I’m Albert Pops, and I’ll be fine. It’s about time I learn how to protect myself from Pixx don’t’cha think?LUCUS: If you say so Alvin.

Ugh! Lucus decided to die standing inside the store and everyone there started dishing out red stars and dark clouds. Way to go Lucus.LUCUS: I died? I thought the dude behind me was my son…the one with the hair.

Salem?

LUCUS: Who?

REAPER: Lucus! It is time for you to go.LUCUS: Yeah right, do you really think you’ll get me to walk through the door, no thanks Mr. Reaper, I prefer to go this way.…..…..*sniff* Nooooooooo! Lucus *cry* Loved that dude, even though he insulted me all the time…*sniff, sniff*

Everyone in the store gathered round to mourn Lucus…he will be missed…sorely!

He was buried out back…these two dips don’t seem to care much at all.SABRINA: Hey Ma, punch me to make me cry.MARYLENA: Only if you punch me back.They were too busy celebrating their insurance payout to care.

With Lucus gone, Fair started her duties as heir, the first thing she did was fire the sewing lady, who got so pissed off that she down-rated the business causing it to drop down to 1. It had already dropped from three the night before when Lucus died in front of everyone.

SPARE’S HOUSE

Albert and his fiancée moved into their little dream house. However, they’ll have to work to finance their own wedding and the honeymoon. I’ll say they need roughly $2500, and that’s a small wedding plus honeymoon.

ALLY: What the heck is this? Who left this box here?Just take it before I do.

Albert’s LTW is to be Mayor so he’s starting to work on those charisma points even though he’s still unemployed. Better find a job to help your wife pay for your wedding or you’ll end up old parents like your father…

Hailey works in Law Enforcement, that night when she got home she met Pooka the wolf who tried to eat their bed.

Albert started working in the Military field, later he changed to politics. The bills started coming in almost immediately. By this time it was day 3, they had $898 and had to pay $96 which left them a total of 802.

HAILEY: So what are we going to do about the wedding.ALBERT: The same thing we were doing for the last three days, catch.HAILEY: Hopefully one of us gets a promotion soon.ALBERT: …Are you sure you want to get married? I mean, we have no bolts for each other.HAILEY: Maybe they’ll come after the wedding…

The next day Albert was promoted to Lobbyist and the house total became $2314 but he had to pay $78 in bills. Immediately after though, Hailey came home and she was promoted to Detective pushing the house total to $4504. Let the wedding begin!

Their wedding SUCKED! Marylena showed up with Ethan and Sabrina but she was the only one who attended.

No worries though, because immediately after the wedding it was time for the honeymoon! Woot! You won’t find out about their honeymoon because this legacy isn’t about Albert and Hailey.ALLY: Hey!You know I love you, you’re just not important.

Fair and Ethan moved out of her parents’ house to create a new legacy house because I moved people around so much that this house had too much money.FAIR: Wwaaaaahhh! Why do I have to suffer for your mistakes? *sob*

Marylena had lost her husband and her two eldest were grown, married and out of the house, so to fill the void she adopted a puppy named Muffin. It wasn’t long before Muffin replaced Sabrina…I can’t remember Marylena and Sabrina having any social interactions since Sabrina became a child.

Cute close-up!

FAIR: *sniff, sniff* I’m gonna have to live outside!You used to live outside before.FAIR: But I haven’t in a while and the TV spoke about this new strange phenomenon called weather, we’re gonna die!ETHAN: Honey, we’re going to be fine.

Note: I’d loan Seasons to a cousin and just got it back, so…yeah, now they’ve got weather.

ETHAN: Trust me, I’ll protect you from the mean old nasty, weather-thingy.FAIR: *sob* Oh Ethan! You know all the right things to say, you make me so happy!….Oh pukeETHAN: I’ll also protect you from Pixx, who’s starting to write everything she says directly to us in bold now. Pixx what’s up with that?The italics didn’t stand out.

Anyhew….welcome home kiddies!

….Uh…what the hell? Vivico?VIVICO: Close your eyes, you don’t see me here. Are you stealing the newspaper?VIVICO: Didn’t I just say that you don’t see me?

FAIR: If I have to shower outside I’m gonna do it with my clothes on.

Nah! Fair didn’t really shower with her clothes on, I just got the shot too late so…moving on from my suckiness…

LOL this pic was too funny, Ethan, touch not thy witchly wifey’s spellbook.

Wait! What! This is the first time they woohooed since they were married because they were always too tired. Another reason I had to get them out of the other house, too many distractions, one being Sabrina’s tendency to forget which room was hers!

FAIR: Uuuuuhhhhh! I feel terrible, like I’m about to…

THROW UP?

Later that evening, like, very much later! Fair got demoted because she went to work uncomfortable. I told you that hat was too tight.

FAIR: Eek! What the…eeeeeee! I’m fat! Waaaaaaahhhh!I’ll dub you, Fair, the crying heir!FAIR: *whine* You’re not funny!

Ethan who was demoted because of a bad chance card was re-promoted to astronaut. Fair is returning from work, and yes, she is in her PJs.

Fair got a bronze talent badge for robotics and I was so surprised that I forgot to take the picture. Like I said, getting badges is hard and other legacies that I’ve seen make it look so easy!

FAIR: *Sigh* I’m pregnant for my hot husband. Ethan’s secondary aspiration is romance. He just acquired it recently.

This is Fair’s creation the cleanbot…I forget what I called it, so for now it’ll be called the Tidy-Bopper.

I’m not sure if you can see it but it is raining in this shot, and for two people who were scared of the new thing called weather, they seem pretty unconcerned.

ETHAN: My wife is in labor but do I dare put down this delicious grilled cheese sandwich to freak out?

Yes he did and the Tidy-Bopper immediately sucked it up…poor Ethan’s sandwich.

What the heck is up with my sims giving birth at night!?! This is Fiona who looks exactly like her dad but has her mother’s eyes.

Ethan was on a roll, the day after his daughter was born he got his last promotion!Look at Creepy-Stalker-Guy behind him.

Then his streak ended because he went to play with Fiona and she puked on him. Way to bond you two!

This is Skanky-Walkby-Lady, who stopped just to wave and heart-fart Ethan. Then, even though he completely ignored her she stuck around!

Did I mention that this is like a while after Fiona is born? Anyway, this is a while after Fiona is born. It’s winter so I had to build a tiny dwelling, but like I was saying, it’s a while after Fiona is born and Ethan helps her to explode into a toddler.

Fiona looks exactly like her father, it’s creepy. I love the lips on this kid! Hopefully he face doesn’t become strangely proportioned like her father’s. Take a close look at Ethan, his eyes are far apart, his nose is trying to kiss his top lip, he has cheekbones that don’t belong and I’m pretty sure if I didn’t replace the default skins his ears would make him look like a monkey.

SKANKY-WALKBY-LADY: Ethan is hot! I wonder how he got with this toad? Ethan’s hot!Um…oh no she didn’t!

About a day later Ethan taught his daughter to talk, these two are rediculously close! I’d like to point out that he started teaching her, then stopped to go to bed, then the next day Fair did most of the work but was hungry and sleepy so I sent her off to tend to her needs, then when Ethan came home, and slept, then woke up…he taught Fiona to talk *breathe*

These two dote on their little girl. Fair taught her how to walk, Ethan had very little to do with this. Fair has back to back days off so she spent them with her daughter.

More doting on Fiona!

Qu-est que c’est? I play with my volume off so I didn’t hear the lullaby.

LOL frozen pregnant lady eating a salad.

There’s a new baby on the way but Fair and Ethan still find time to obsess over Fiona. Ethan taught her a nursery rhyme that she constantly rolls wants to sing with one of her parents.

Fair gets credit for potty training her, so it’s a tie for teaching toddler skills! Two-Fair and Two-Ethan, I’m counting that nursery rhyme.BTW I apologize for the nanny’s feet and tacky plaid skirt in this picture, if I’d taken this from another angle you would have had to see that nanny’s face.

The first thing General Ethan Spelman does when he gets home from work is to play with his Fiona. That new baby is gonna have something to compete with.

With all the attention she got from her parents, it was impossible for her not to grow up well.

I’m beginning to think this runs in the family…

FAIR: Ethan! I think I landed badly on that last jump! Eeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkk!
