When we left off in the last episode Jennifer Kael came of age, kicked her mother-murdering-father out of the family home so he could be with her Auntie Isla, and screamed with joy for all the money she had just inherited!
Onward! 😀
All screenshots in this post were taken by me, , and are from the game: The Sims 3.
After kicking her dad out of the Kael Legacy Home, Jennifer proceeded to scream with joy and happiness for just over an hour before calming down long enough to make a quick phone call.
"Plane tickets, now!" she screamed into the phone.
"I'm going to France!" she screamed even louder. "NOW!"
Doubly excited to be the first Kael to ever leave Sunset Valley, Jennifer took to adventuring with gusto. She bought herself a cheap camera, took several deep breaths to ease her raw throat, and prepared to become the greatest explorer France had ever seen.
It wasn't long before she found a tomb to dive into. She had found it so quickly! She truly was the greatest of explorers.
Apparently the last explorer to find this tomb hadn't been very lucky.
Jennifer shrugged, performed an excited little wiggle, and squealed with happiness as she snapped a photo of the unlucky remains. The last explorer may have died, but would now live on forever! Immortalised upon cheap-o film.
With a backpack full of treasure and a solid satisfaction coursing through her veins, Jennifer thought a spot of wine would be just the ticket. Although she had several thousand sim-moneys stored safely in her wallet, she didn't fancy buying a bottle... so, instead, she jumped into a vat of the stuff and almost drowned.
As she climbed out of the liquid purple gold, a sudden realisation came over her -- an epiphany!
This is what she would do with her life. She would devote herself to the art of wine making, and more importantly: wine drinking!
With her habitual excitement in full flow, she ran to the woman behind the wine-counter and screamed, "All of your books on wine making! And some wine racks! And one of those things I stomp grapes in! NOW! Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod!"
Jennifer shipped her newly acquired goods back to Sunset Valley ready for her arrival home and spent the rest of the day relaxing at her home base.
As she was warming her butt by the fire, she noticed a ranked chess player and hurriedly assaulted him, demanding he play against her.
Seconds after winning her first ever ranked chess match, the smoke alarm screamed.
Everyone in the quiet French town ran to the Explorer's Base and pointed and stared, some screamed, and one glared at Jennifer and whipped out a fire extinguisher.
Jennifer pretended she had no idea how that fire started. It wasn't her warming her butt by the flames earlier, oh no, not at all; someone else must've farted on the flames.
With the excitement of her trip far behind her, Jennifer returned home to Sunset Valley and spent the next few days head-deep in her new wine-making books. She would become the greatest wine artisan the world had ever known. Her bottles would sell for thousands. Kings and Queens would wage wars over her bottles!
"Yes, yessssssss!" she hissed to herself, turning another page.
The knowledge of wine-making infused her soul, but there would be no wine without grapes. Now all that was left was to channel her deceased grandmother and become a great gardener.
May Alexandria be looking down upon her, and may she be pleased. Jennifer briefly bowed her head, then kept digging.
Later that night, Jennifer decided to go fishing so her new garden would have the best fertilisers. But, something even better happened, something amazing...
...a ray of light shone down and a pure white unicorn appeared!
"Such a wonderful gift," she breathed, reaching over to pet the noble beast. Some glittering dust remained on her skin after she withdrew her hand, and she immediately knew what must be done. "My wine will be infused with unicorn glitter! My wine will be worth more than thousands! My wine will reign supreme!"
She danced around excitedly, then thanked the unicorn before racing home to keep the glitter safe.
The next day, Jennifer went to the spring festival and found Auntie Acacia enjoying married life.
Leaving the two lovebirds alone to enjoy each other's silent, grimacing company, Jennifer sashayed towards the far corner of the park and played some hoops, danced with a few people, then kissed the Kissing Booth Man several hundred times, much to the Kissing Both Lady's horror.
Satisfied with all the kisses she had bought, Jennifer went to bed a happy young lady.
Mere minutes after she fell asleep, however, the home alarm screamed through the neighbourhood and woke up the entire Valley.
A burglar had dared enter the Kael Legacy Home!........ Again!
Jennifer had inherited her mother's braveness and hurriedly flew down the stairs to confront the trespasser!
However, she hadn't expected him to gasp in awe at her arrival, "Wow! You're beautiful! I think I love you!" and before she could blink, the intruder leapt at her and tried to cop a feel.
"That's now how you treat a Kael!" she growled, punching him in the throat.
The would-be-burglar was no match for Jennifer's quick moves and shrill screams, and by the time the police came, the intruder was well-defeated.
"Wow," grinned the policeman. "You sure showed that guy."
"I know right!" Jennifer flipped a gang sign and waved cheerfully as the policeman took the burglar into custody. "Later, suckah!"
The next day, Jennifer called the policeman -- Craig -- who had attended to the intruder alert the night before and thanked him profusely for taking the burglar away.
"Your siren was so red and flashy and loud! Did you know my mother was a policewoman? She died. I think my father murdered her, but there's no proof. But that doesn't matter. She used to be one of you! Her car is still parked beside the house. Do you have your own police car or do you just use the one at the station? Want to borrow mine? I'll let you, you know! Come over anytime!"
After finishing up on the phone, Jennifer sent Craig a loveletter. Then her stomach growled.
"To the restaurant!" she cried and jumped into the car.
On her way to the restaurant, she peered out the window and her heart leapt. Craig was at the park! Her hungry stomach forgotten, Jennifer slammed on the brakes and jumped out.
"Hiiii," she fluttered her eyelashes. "Um. Are you single?"
He raised an eyebrow and nodded.
"Oh, wonderful!" Jennifer giggled. "I'm going out to lunch, come with! Pleeeeease! It'll be free, I own the place."
Despite his unease, Craig slowly nodded and followed the hyperactive, over-excited Kael to the Michelin-starred restaurant another Kael had once chef'd at...
...and together they ate, and they ate.
With stomachs satiated, Jennifer grabbed Craig's hand and leapt them both to their feet.
"To the theatre!" she cried.
"Uh... I-I have to... woah!" Craig stuttered, flying along Main Street at Jennifer's back as she pulled him to the local entertainment building.
"It's free!" she cried. "I own this place too!" and whisked Craig inside.
The theatre trip was boring and unlike her father, she had no urge to "tour the theatre".
Calming down slightly, she managed to have a proper adult discussion with Craig whilst following their guide and when they both re-emerged from the dark and gloomy interior, the dashing policeman was more than happy to entertain Jennifer's romantic advances.
Until...
"Uh... ghost..."
"Don't be silly," Jennifer smiled and kissed him again, failing to notice the dying woman mere metres away from them.
"I'm not being silly," Craig muttered, waving a hand towards the book store.
"Shhhhh," Jennifer giggled, then gave him a loving embrace.
The Grim Reaper rose up from the pavements and took the woman's soul in front of a hundred shocked and saddened onlookers, but Jennifer still didn't notice.
Holding Craig's hands in hers, she fluttered her eyelashes and asked, "Will you be my boyfriend?"
Despite his better judgement, Craig silently nodded, then watched as both the Reaper and the ghost vanished into the nothingness.
A death on a first date... surely that was a bad omen.
