2. Ocean is finally done with all his skilling, and not a moment
too soon! 3. Because it's time to get this business up to level 10!
4. And the first thing that happened was a red star.>.< 5.
General here decided to complain about Cactus to Chrysanthemum
next. Chrysanthemum, of course, told him to leave. 6. Then we hired
Nikki Zhang, our new employee, and manager-in-training. 7. You get
to help me with sales, Nikki.I'm sure you've seen enough ads and
been in enough stores to be able to try and sell something, and I
believe you'll learn best through experience, so why don't you go
get started? 8. Cactus then proceeds to make a poor example for the
newcomer by losing a star.Guys?Try earning some? 9. Still, we have
enough money to expand.There's a break room in back (since Nikki
can't use an energizer), and more room so people won't get stuck in
the store. 10. Nikki gets a bronze badge, and is on her way to a
promotion. 11. Yes, level 6!Nyah, nyah, we got to level six despite
you, red-starrers! 12. Easy come, easy go. 13. But on the bright
side, Nikki got a silver badge! 14. And Cactus got a red
star!Again! 15. Want to be manager, Nikki? Sure, I'd love to!
Great! 16. Nikki still does sales, though.It's a small store.And
we're level 7! 17. 8! 18. Break time!Cactus decided to make some
snapdragons so we can leave them at the store rather than take them
back and forth. 19. Oh, and we got a butler, Alec Thomason.Remember
him! 20. While all this was happening, Tosha invinted herself over
for a game of pool in the kitchen/family room/technically kind of
living room, dining room, and hall, too, because there's no actual
walls separating any of the rooms I've mentioned on this page.Yay
open floor plans!Still, I might add some walls and arches
eventually. 21. I wonder what she plans on doing with Fir.Why'd she
want him as heir, anyway?Why should she care? 22. What if her plans
aren't necessarily good?I've become friends with many of the Lynns
and Flynns, and I love Otieno...I'd never be able to forgive myself
if she hurt one of them. 23. I should check up on Fir, make sure
he's okay.Maybe try and figure out her plans. 24. Right after I
finish this game of pool, of course. 25. Back at the shop, we got
raised a level again.Level 9, woop! Unfortunately, at this time I
realized I'd forgotten to give Nikki a raise.Now she'll never come
back. 26. Also, the renovations pushed the profit into the negative
numbers, so I got me some sucker cakes- or sucker flowers, as the
case may be.These are custom flowers from modthesims2, and are part
of a wedding collection- the same one I use to get the arch and
chairs I use for my legacy wedding parties. 27. A sucker is born
every minute, heh. 28. And now let's leave the sucker cake to its
job... 29. Cause we're level 10, baby! 30. Next task, teaching
Cactus all the OFB rewards Chrysanthemum earned.Cactus can then
pass it on to future generations. 31. It took forever, but I did
teach Cactus all ten of them. 32. Then I decided we're so rich,
let's tip the butler and make Cactus a new friend!And if theyhave
chemistry, maybe I can finally get Cactus a boyfriend! 33. That'll
have to wait, though.They're growing up! Yes, Chrysanthemum is
teaching Cactus some rewards right here.She finished just in time
to grow up. 34. Here's Ocean elder-fied... 35. And here's
Chrysanthemum! 36. Concensus: decent.Could be better, could be
worse. 37. In the Flynn household, Keiko was having her birthday,
too. 38. She found some cute clothes, and was off to go call
college for her scholarships when she saw her dad waving his wand-
focuse, though, unlike when he'd done it to be playful or when he'd
do it mindlessly. Dad, what are you... 39. Eeep! 40. Keiko floated
back down to the ground, her new clothes replaced by a witch gown.
Dad, Tristessa's already a witch, why do I have to be one, too?
Safety precaution, dear. 41. And Keiko started studying the magical
arts. 42. Then off to college for her! 43. In the other Lynn
household we had yet another birthday. 44. And, of course, another
witch. 45. Talin had been more or less prepared for this, so he let
the sparkles lift him up. There are so many things wrong with that
sentance,he thought.Sparkles?Lifting me up?And I've been PREPARED
for this?Wow, our family's messed up. 46. And I've got some
complaints about the outfit... Oh hush, you get to change soon. 47.
Talin learned what he needed to know... 48. ...and was off! 49. Old
people montage! I remember what you wore on the first day You came
into my life and I thought Hey, you know, this could be something
'Cause everything you do and words you say You know that it all
takes my breath away And now I'm left with nothing 50. So maybe
it's true That I can't live without you And maybe two is better
than one But there's so much time To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone And I'm thinking two is
better than one 51. I remember every look upon your face The way
you roll your eyes The way you taste You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away I think of you and
everything's okay I'm finally now believing 52. That maybe it's
true That I can't live without you And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time To figure out the rest of my life And
you've already got me coming undone And I'm thinking two is better
than one 53. I remember what you wore on the first day You came
into my life and I thought, hey, Maybe it's true That I can't live
without you Maybe two is better than one But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life And you've already got me coming
undone 54. And I'm thinking I can't live without you 'Cause, baby,
two is better than one But there's so much time To figure out the
rest of my life But I'll figure it out When all is said and done
Two is better than one 55. The end!And here's a picture of my
founder, because I forgot to grab an ending picture... Sorry it was
a short chapter, but there isn't much left to do by the time the
kids leave for college, and most of my plot right now has to happen
in college.Wow, college time again already.And the plot I have
planned- oh, the plot!If I can get it right it'll be... well,
plotty!
