[Allison]
After such a rough day, it was nice to be reminded of the cycle of life. Little Nova was such a doll. I bet she had just a bit of Cheshire in her, since she was born so close to when he died.
Singu’s first gift to her little daughter was a turtle! It was almost as big as Nova!
Singu is such a wild thing, and she’s an amazing huntress. I think she expected little Nova to, um, *eat* that turtle. Ick. I snatched it up before anything that gross could happen. I prefer my kitties to eat the kind of food that comes out of a bag. At least in the house.
I made an arrangement to sell the turtle at the flea market across the street. Apparently it was pretty rare and worth a lot of money.
Nova herself settled in very quickly. I’d forgotten how much I missed having a kitten about!
Singularity, meanwhile, was soon up and consoling her beloved Peanut about his father’s death.
He seemed a lot more cheerful after that.
Soon he perked up and was back to his old adventurous self again. Peanut might not be as smart as his daddy, but he sure is resilient.
This time, it was Deanne’s turn to grow up and get her start in the world.
She chose a very different look! I don’t think I’m brave enough to chop off all those long locks, but she certainly looks smart and capable this way!
Um, apparently, Erin was a bit too eager to cheer for Deanne and forgot the macaroni and cheese she had cooking on the stove.
I swear, we have more trouble with macaroni in this house. It’s such a temperamental noodle.
Deanne and Erin grabbed their slices of cake while I dealt with the fire.
I guess they know better than to get too worried about a house fire when I’m here.
Hetal was kind of cranky about the whole thing. This is the third fire we’ve had in this kitchen.
When I finally sat down to eat my own cake, Deanne nudged me. “There’s a firefighter at the door.”
“I really, really hot firefighter! Oh my gosh! Is he looking at me?”
Deanne was furious! She gave that guy a lecture like you wouldn’t believe. She said that he ought to be throwing a party in my honor.
She refused to calm down until he gave her is phone number.
That’s my enterprising girl.
At last we all had to hug Deanne goodbye. She knew what she wanted to do with her life, and it wasn’t here. She was going to get a small apartment closer to downtown.
It was pretty clear why she wanted to move out so fast.
I tried to cheer Erin up by piling all three of us into the fire engine and heading out to the fairy gardens to take a tour of the Arboretum.
It didn’t work.
I’d never have thought a tour of fairy houses would be boring, but there you go.
We all went home, and I set about making the stove fireproof. It’s caused us enough trouble, and there’s always the chance that a fire might break out while I’m not around.
Speaking of kitties.
I rest my case.

Fires in home: 2 + 1 = 3
Couldn’t go without a fail forever. š
All of the spares are out of the house now.
Also of interest is my post on the Sample blog about Twallan’s resignation: http://sims3sample.blogspot.com/2014/01/it-couldnt-last-forever.html
Sorry, I forgot to comment here š
I can see how the cats make Allison's day, even when she has trouble dealing with her kids leaving. They are hilarious, and soo cute!
Deanne turned out etremely pretty, I didn't expect that. Not many sims look good with that hairstyle, but she really does.
The kitties are so cut, the marking are so beautiful. Erin's the only kid left š I remember when she was jus a baby. I hate it when the firefighters show up late and change you because you already have to buy new stuff. Great chapter, can't believe how many e-mails I missed!
Hey, good to see you, Kira!
I've played stupidly far ahead — like halfway through Erin's generation — and I'm trying to get it all on the blog. So I have another post in the works and hope to keep up the pace.
As soon as I get farther, I'm ready for a cat poll too. More kittens next chapter.
Deanne did turn out pretty cool — Allison's face on those really dramatic colors. She doesn't seem like Allison at all, really.
I'm sorry to lose each kid as they go, but I have StoryProgression notifications to make me feel better :).
Not sure how many posts till the next generation. It really was a long slog on Allison's LTW.
I accessed your blog! Yay!!
Wow! Deanne is gorgeous! She looks too much like Ali though, whereas Erin is pretty but still has very interesting features. It must be hard for Erin now. Nobody to torment and tease! No older sister to steal clothes and makeup from … She'd better grow up quickly and marry William!
Ha hahahaha, "macaroni is such a temperamental noodle!" Cracked me up.
