I headed in to Strangetown today to play the Gieke family for a few simdays.
Wednesday morning began with Vamsi serving up a big plate of omelettes for breakfast, which Cheva ignored before heading to school. It was Vamsi's day off, so she invited her friend Marsha McArthur (a townie) and her boyfriend Nicholas Davidson over to hang with her for the day. When Cheva got home she quickly got her homework out of the way. Vamsi and Marsha became best friends. With her homework done, Cheva decided she'd really like to get in to private school, so she called the headmaster to invite him for dinner the following day. She then made a start on the mammoth task of cleaning the house before bed.
On Thursday morning Vamsi started a fire in the kitchen while trying to serve up a breakfast of toaster pastries. Thankfully, the kitchen was equipped with a fire alarm and nobody was hurt. The toaster pastries were burnt to a crisp, however. Cheva headed off to school without breakfast yet again. Vamsi had another day off work, so she invited Marsha over to spend another day with her. Cheva buckled down to do her homework immediately after school again and then eagerly awaited the arrival of the headmaster.

Right after the headmaster's arrival, Cheva managed to clog the toilet. She called the repairman, who couldn't come out to fix it until the next morning. She made a snap decision not to include the bathroom when she gave the headmaster a tour of the house. Vamsi grew up well in to an elder and called work to retire from her career as a Home Video Editor. Cheva served a lovely dinner of pork chops for the headmaster, who wolfed them down greedily. The ghost of Chester made his first appearance and scared the headmaster twice! That can't be good. Cheva gave the headmaster a tour of the house (except the bathroom) which he seemed to enjoy. Vamsi settled down to study cooking and maximized the cooking skill. Cheva spent a good deal of time schmoozing with the headmaster before heading to bed. Vamsi took over from her with the schmoozing, but in the end he didn't think the family was good enough to gain admittance to his illustrious academy. And the score was very high, I've had people get in with worse scores, so I think Chester's ghost probably ruined his daughter's chances.
On Friday morning Cheva harvested some tasty lemons from the family's garden. She was offered membership to Peerless Park. Vamsi served a big plate of omelettes for breakfast without incident. Cheva still didn't eat them and went off to school. Cymmi grew up in to an elderly kitty. Upon arriving home from school, Cheva gained a bronze gardening talent badge while spraying the bugs making a home in the tomato plant. She then tackled her homework assignments. Vamsi headed outside soon after to take care of re-infestation on the tomato plant, and also gained a bronze gardening talent badge. The ghost of Chester's first wife, Lainey, was active that night. She scared poor Vamsi. Vamsi drove over to Sue's Secret Kitchen for a cooking contest, and her Grandma's Comfort Soup won her first place. She headed home feeling smug - she always wins cooking contests. She and Cheva both headed to bed. Cheva was soon woken by Lainey's ghost and was no longer tired. She decided to pull an all-nighter. It only being 11pm on a Friday night, she called her crush, Alec Hiatt to ask him on their first date. He accepted and they headed to LuLu Lounge, where they fell in love. They spent many romantic hours slow dancing, followed by some heavy makeout sessions.

After attracting an unwelcome crowd of townies, Cheva asked Alec to come home with her for the remainder of the date. It scored as a dream date. Afterwards, Cheva called the college to see if she was eligible for any more scholarships (college is looming very close now) and she won the Tsang Footwork Award - all the dancing on her date improved her dancing skills. She spent the remainder of the night playing with her gameboy and spending some time with her often forgotten bird Rosella The Second. Poor little Cheva was scared by the ghost of Lainey no less than three times. Vamsi was also woken and scared by her. Darn ghosts! She never gave me any trouble when Chester was still alive...
