Return of the Imaginairum: Pixie's Legacy

[KrispyNickyB]

This family started out as my test family to see if my game worked. Then I became attached. So this will be a pseudo-dynasty. I placed it here to not be confusing. However, Pixie will have to accomplish a lot of the same rules a Dynasty would. Also please for the moment forgive the abnormally large screenshots. I'm shrinking them however it's not shrinking them on there. I don't know what is up. I'm working on fixing this right now.  

Hidden Springs is  a land located far from where you live. It's filled with cliffs, mountains, and waterfalls. It's a fun place to live. Only after the first 300 years or so of being invisible gets really old. You see I am Pixie. I come from the race of Imaginariums. We used to rule Hidden Springs in a land of peace, magic, and creativity.

Then they came. My Father was king and he did not believe in keeping an army. He ruled with discipline. However, the Vanderbergs came and I saw guns for the first time. The magical beings of Hidden Springs ran for their lives never to return. The Vanderbergs turned all of our  magic against us.

Imaginariums are now an invisible beings. No one can see us. We can't eat good food anymore. We can't sleep and dream sweet dreams. I miss being real. I miss being alive. I miss fairies that used to dance in the moonlight. These buildings and businesses are so boring. Now the Vanderbergs rule this land in a world of something called Commercialism. Bah that's stuff is for the birds.

Then one day things changed. This girl came into town. I watched as she talked with the new Vanderbergs's son. He was nice. I've talked to Francisca a lot. She isn't like the rest of her family. She's pretty pure of heart and in touch with the land. I visit her often. She hates her family and what they did to us.

Francisca told me to watch this new girl. So I did. I watched as this so called Prince fell for the wrong person....well or so the sims think. He didn't fall for the cleaning lady with the mean mother. He ran away! For some reason he ran off marrying this new girl. In awe I watched as they moved off to the woods to the Rookery.

The Rookery is my home. I'm the only Imaginarium left to live there. It is what is left of our old castle. It's nice to have family left. Especially since all the magic is gone and I'm the only Imaginarium left holding on. I want to be real again. Damon is the couple's son. He can see me and we play together all of the time. Damon has joined me on my quest. The quest to make me real.

The lady is fine. She is nice and really cares for Damon and his younger brother. Surely they wouldn't mind adopting an Imaginiarium....once they can see me. Right now they just wonder about Damon's sanity.

[samoht04]

Ooh, interesting story idea!  You used a picture of Sebastian Vanderburg twice though.

[KrispyNickyB]

Whoops I'm off a count. Lemme fix that

[MissMaths]

Wow, brilliant start, interesting idea. This one's definately one to be reading

[KrispyNickyB]

Hi everyone! It's me Pixie. I'm back to talk to you. My beloved diary. It's very important to chronicalize history. I feel this is important history for all Imaginariums. Even if I am the only one left in existence. This will be for my children someday...or Imaginariums. If I ever find where everyone fled off too.

Good news is I feel more part of the family now. The Mom doesn't scream when she sees her mop floating in mid air. I don't think she minds as long as the puddles get cleaned. She even scolds me from time to time. It always makes me giggle. I've missed having a family. The Vanderberg (Damon says I really should just call him Dad) still wonders if his son is insane or not. He'll come to accept me in time. I'm just as good as any of his sons. I can even tie knots better. Granted I still let Damon show off for me every now and then.

Scouting is the perfect activity for Damon and I to have. We are searching for the legendary Rainbow Gem. I've never ever seen one. I remember stories though. Rainbow Gems are a part of the heart of Hidden Springs. They represent the magic the land has within it. When I was little I remember many of these gems. I used to even have a necklace of one.

When the Imaginariums were overthrown by the Sims, they used the Rainbow Gem's powers to turn us into these invisible creatures. What little of my necklace is left is in my hat. This is the magic that keeps me alive and the true of heart able to see me. Well I'm not sure about that last part but it sounds good! Anyways, back to what I was saying.

Scouting is a good hobby. It's taught us how to fish, collect, and find things. I keep telling Damon we have to find a whole, uncut rainbow gem. He keeps looking to just make me happy. He swares that all we need is science. Damon stays up really late at his chemistry set. He thinks he can find the potion to make me real again.

Damon's little brother grew up today! I've never ever seen a Sim birthday. It was kind of magical in it's way. The Mom got the baby and put him on the floor. Bryan, that's the baby's name, waved his little toddler hands and squealed. Then suddenly sparkly fairies surrounded him. They lifted him into the air and poof! He was just as big as Damon! I couldn't believe that the fairies still exist. I tried to tell Damon about them. He says they are only sparkles and every sim has them on their birthday. Silly sim, I know they were fairies. I saw them with my own two button eyes.

I sat next to the fireplace while the boys played king. It was a silly game but it seemed to make them happy. Bryan was king first. Then Damon told him all about me. Bryan nodded and agreed with him! Bryan says he can't see me. However, he knows I'm there. Maybe I should stop putting his socks on his ears at night. It's such a funny joke though.

Bryan helps us look for the gem. I think he just wonders what I look like. He enjoys climbing the waterfalls in search of rocks. I caught him one day at the look out tower playing king. Silly Bryan!

[KrispyNickyB]

Exciting things are happening today. Damon says so. He says today he turns into a teenager. Apparently sims have something called birthdays. I remember birthdays. It's about 315 and 1/4th years since I've had one. I remember Cookie in the kitchen baking sweets, and chasing me with a spoon when I snuck a lick of the batter! I remember fireworks and fairy dances. I also remember as princess I got to give everyone a special present. I loved handing out the gifts to my friends.

Damon's explained that sims do have cake. Apparently, they don't put berries in it like we Imaginariums do. I say it's not a cake anymore then but who am I to argue? He also says that Sims give the birthday person gifts. What a silly tradition! I'd much rather see my friends smile! It'll be interesting to watch a sim birthday.

We played and searched for Rainbow Gems all day long. Bryan even helped us. Then that night Damon said it was time. Time for what I didn't understand. He just started cheering and his eyes went all funny and cross eyed. Not to mention where on earth did that twirly noisy thing come from? A few seconds earlier he did not have that thing.

I watched as my friend jumped and stretched. Then he was tall. His voice was deeper, and I cried looking up at him. I didn't want to go back to being invisible. Damon was the first thing ever to care for me and see me. Now that he was almost grown up...I'd lose my playmate. Very sad I tried to run out to the tree house.

Damon ran after me calling, "Pixie wait!"

I cried so hard I had the sniffles and hiccups. Having both at the same time hurt very much. Somehow new big Damon came over and fit inside the tree house. He had his hands cupped.

Damon looked over at me and said, " I snagged someone for ya"

I peeked inside his fingers and saw one little lone fairy sitting inside. If I had real eyes they would have gotten big. Unfortunately, buttons don't change size.

Damon took the fairy and talked it very nicely. I'm not sure if she believed Damon or just wanted to be free. She agreed to sprinkle her magic around me even if she couldn't see me. I felt a rumbling in my stomach. I didn't know if I was going to be sick or not. The sound of wood cracking filled the air. I gasped and realized that suddenly the treehouse was small...very small.

I'm almost Damon's size. He says I"m the Imaginarium version of a teenager. He promises that he'll help make me real again. Damon joked he just wanted to prove that Sim-cakes were better than Berry cakes. He's still crazy. I didn't ask him this though...maybe one day someone will be able to tell me the answer. Why does my stomach flip flop still when I look at Damon?

[samoht04]

I just love this, the plot, the way you tell it and of course Pixie.  Here to hoping Damon fulfils his promise to Pixie!

[loveSims]

Its just like a fairytale I love it. Look foward to next update

[KrispyNickyB]

Things are different since I aged up with Damon. I feel more obligated to the people I live with now. After everyone leaves I spend my days cleaning up around the house. The worst is laundry. For some reason the boys just leave their clothes everywhere. I always try to pick the piles up for the Mom. I can tell she appreciates it.

One unfortunate happening of my aging up is that I was now chained to the Rookery. I would wave goodbye to Damon as he left for school each day. Each time I tried to leave strange things would happen. I'd walk off thinking I was going somewhere to just appear back in the living room. It's very frustrating and dizzying. I stopped trying around zip back number 600 or so.

Damon is desperate to make me real. He's afraid to age up again. We've discovered that somehow we are linked together. He feels attached to me and I him. However, we do not know the extent of the connection. What happens when he becomes an adult? Do I stay behind? Do I cease to exist? Also, there was the matter of my stomach flip flopping when I looked at Damon. I haven't told him that yet.  I think I clean so much just to escape these thoughts.

The parents are very angry at Damon. They are talking about sending him away to something called "boarding school." I don't want him to leave. I cry little wooden tears each time they mention it. He's stopped pulling pranks to make them happier. I remind him to go to school. He spends night and day at the chemistry lab set. Damon is hoping that it holds the key to me being real. He's even forsaken finding friends for me. I've never had someone care for me this much. Well not since my own parents.

I miss my parents many days. I wonder what they would think of me now. I wish there was a way to save them. They gave me so much. The ultimate sacrifice. They lost themselves just to save me. I wish my Mom was here now. She'd know what to do. She'd know how to fix all this.

Today, Damon was escorted home by the cops. He was caught breaking into the school science lab. I didn't know why he had done this. All day he locked himself up inside of his room and wouldn't come out. I heard banging and muttering. The Vanderburg says he is grounded for two days. Grounding is a thing Sims do to punish their kids. It means he can't leave the house. Silly sim realizes that the more time Damon is at home the more time we have together!

Night turned into day and Damon snuck outside. He waved for me to follow him. He was holding some strange bubbling liquid.

Damon grinned said, "Drink it Pixie."

"What is it?" I sniffed...it smelled like feet and laundry...ugh.

"It'll make you real. I figured it out. With a little bit of my homework using rainbow rocks." Damon almost bounced he was so excited.

"Won't you fail? What if it turns me into a toad?"

"Well then you'll be the best toad in hidden springs!"

Bottoms up I tilted the jar back and drank up.

[samoht04]

OOooh, Cliffhanger!  Yay for Pixie becoming real!

[KrispyNickyB]

I need someone to remind me to post when I play this game. I'm waaayy ahead of this point. That and forgot to take many pictures of teenage years. Anywho...here's a rule to my legacy in addition to following (loosely) Pinstar's Legacy rules.

Imaginarium Legacy Rules:

Only allowed to live in the Rookery. I can edit or add to the Rookery but I cannot live in another household.
No Travel <-- Bad mojo...I almost lost them.

Fears are gone and I've become real again! I can't believe it hardly. I have fingers and toes and a mouth that opens and closes. My stomach rumbles when I'm hungry and I get sleepy!! All this may seem mundane and silly. I say you go over 300 years and see if you don't miss feeling things anything!

Damon's Mom has taken me under her wing. She feels awful for my family. She has shown me how to fix my curly mass of blue and teal hair. She also says I should flaunt it. It brings out my "striking" icy blue eyes. Mom (she told me to call her that isn't it great?!) also says Damon has a crush on me. I had no idea what a crush was. Apparently it's when a girl or boy really really like each other. Mom's explained that was my flip flopping stomach! Mom's also explained we can't run off in the house by ourselves. I told her she was silly why would we do that.

Sebastian (that's Dad...he said I can call him dad. I'll stick with Sebastian) says I'm naive because I'm a bit childish. Better to be childish than boring frumpy I say! Sebbastian has also enrolled us kids in lots of activities. I have Study Group and Music club. Damon is in Study Club and Newspaper Club. Bryan (he just grew up too!) is in Music Club and Study Club.

Bryan has grown up to be the biggest flirt. He tried for days to get my attention. Finally, Mom sat him down to talk to him. She explained how Damon and I have a connection. He couldn't break in. Bryan just shrugged and began chasing another girl. Gossip around the school says she's playing hard to get...

I love school! It's been years since I've been able to learn. Damon laughs at me constantly going around asking to try new things. He even brought me my first bouquet of flowers today with a note. He wanted me to go to this prom thing. It's tradition for Sims to go to a big dance and dress in fancy clothes. I said yes...why not go and have fun at a party!

Prom was magic all on its own. I don't know why the Imaginariums and Sims couldn't have lived together in peace all those years ago. Greed is a funny thing though. I danced and danced. Damon made me laugh dancing the chicken dance onstage. He was even crowned Prom King! No one at school treats me badly at all. I have lots of friends. Damon tells me its something called being "popular" He also says with my smile anyone would like me. Isn't he sweet? I even saw that girl Bryan likes let him dance with her. We all had a great night.

Damon took time to take me out under the stars. We talked like we always do. We talk about how I miss my family. I told him I'm grateful for him breaking the curse. I asked him to promise me if we ever found another Imaginarium...we'd give them life too.

Damon smiled, "Pixie, we'll spend forever finding them all. I'll give them enough of that stinking potion to help them all! I'm the Vanderburg now. We own this island. There's room for everyone."

For the first time the future looked hopeful...and I got someone special to help me...

[samoht04]

Another awesome update. My IF had those Blue Eyes as well, they really are awesome. Pixie is an awesome Sim/IF

[Gogowars329]

I've been reading since the start but haven't posted. You've got a great writing ability! I hope it all goes well for Pixie! Great Work!

[MoonsAreBlue]

I just read this story and wow! Your writing is wonderful, and I am just loving this story. The plot line is great. I will definitely be following this to the end.

[Tears of Jade]

I've been reading and lurking for a while but I thought I'd quit being lazy and comment. Pixie is gorgeous and I love the "mermaid" hair I can't wait to see where life will take her and her family (this is a legacy after all). I hope those blue eyes get passed down. That would be pretty awesome. Congrats on not losing the family to the infamous travel bug.

[samoht04]

Is the Legacy starting with 10 Generations from Pixie or from the Vanderburg Line, so Sebastian onwards?

[KrispyNickyB]

I'm using Pixie so basically we haven't gotten out of prologue so to speak.

[samoht04]

I'm using Pixie so basically we haven't gotten out of prologue so to speak.

Ah Okay, thanks! 

[KrispyNickyB]

It had started out differently. However, Pixie was such a dynamic IF. She's the first IF I've had with a personality. Most of mine just sit there. So things kind of gravitated around her. It's become her story. I almost did this as a dynasty. However, I wasn't sure how an IF fit into a dynasty or if it'd be allowed. So I put the story here.


Mom is excited. She has been baking all day. Sebastian has been on the phone inviting all of their friends. It's come ....the day I'm scared of....the day I grow up. I've been hiding in the treehouse quiet as much as possible. Being grown up scares me. What does being "an adult" mean? What is this career thing people keep saying I must have. What happens to Imaginariums when they become adults....do I become an adult. These are all puzzling things and no one quite understands. On my birthday I will be 316 years old.

I heard creaks coming up the ladder and thought it was Damon. I jumped shocked when I saw Sebastian poke his head through the door. He looked around and said, "Well it's been years since this old thing has been used." Quietly I nodded he continued, "My Grandpa always said some people grow older but that doesn't mean you have to grow up. He was also a man that loved ice cream and waterslides. You may change and your thoughts and feelings may change. You never stop being yourself. You just find another adventure. Oh and Nicky says come on down and wash up the party will start soon."

I smiled and wiped my tears. Maybe he was right. Everything would be okay. I knew I always had a home here in the Rookery with them. Sebastian claimed it was my house in the first place. I loved learning. Mom and Sebastian said they had a special surprise for us after graduation. Graduation was tomorrow. However, tonight we party.

     

Everyone knows how much I love a good party. There was music and food and lots of people....oh and best yet. Mom even tried to create me a real Imaginarium birthday cake! It wasn't the same but it was really good and close. She filled it with fresh berries. Damon laughed at how I squealed seeing it. Everyone let me celebrate in my own way. My best friends know I miss my family and culture.

Graduation day brought happiness and tears. It was full of sadness and joy for me. I love to learn. It is one of my jewels. Bryan says I'm silly to call school a jewel. We Imganiariums are different than sims...we value different things. Learning, art, and nature are things we most admire.

Damon says there was a surprise for me at graduation. What it was I had no idea. I was so shocked when our teachers stood up and said I made the highest grades in our class! Me!! Me! Pixie made the top scores. Damon whispered to me this meant I was Valedictorian. We all also voted for fun prizes too. I won "Most likely to take over the world." Jillian laughed when she announced it. It is an awful silly award seeing how I cannot hurt a fly. I even cry when one of our garden plants die.

Damon won most likely to have a big family. He stared at me when they called him up for it. Somehow it made me blush and squirm. Damon has been getting these moments to where he just looks at me. He doesn't say much he just stares. We haven't talked much lately because of it. We kiss a little but that's it. Mom says we have to sort it out ourselves.

Sebastian and Mom gave us a big present of suitcases. I didn't want to tell them at first it was a silly present. I didn't' want to leave and go anywhere. Bryan spilled the beans though! He aid they had saved up money and gave Damon and I two tickets to go on a trip to Shang Simla. It's in China!! Mom says it's a very magical place and I will like it. She's helping me pack now. I can't wait to have our new adventure. What's a more perfect way to start a legacy than with your best friend on vacation?

[Gogowars329]

Pixie is a very good looking IF! I've had two so far but neither have looked as good as her! (But they've both had the same blue eyes)

[KrispyNickyB]

Bags are packed and off we go! Shang Simla was beautiful. Damon had to hold me down on the plane. I kept bouncing way too hard. He says I caused the entire plane to move. There's no way! I could not to make the big plane bounce all over just by being excited! We talked and planned about our trip. We decided not to do many adventures. We wanted to just sight see the different places.

We barely left the Scholar's Garden though. I met a man name Sin Cho there. He showed me what the silly wood thingies I had been seeing were for. He explained it was for something called Martial Arts. He says it didn't focus on violence just peace and meditation. I had to try it. I worked hard for an entire day practicing it.

Damon didn't do much. He's an angler and spent most of his time at the pond. He did sneak off and bought my own training dummy to take home with us. Sebastian loves athletics. I can't wait to teach him so we can spar! Damon also picked some native fruits for us to take back. Mom will love having them in her garden. He's also being very secretive about something.

That night we walked to a camp and climbed the tall stairs. Fireflies glowed around us and we could see the entire village under the moonlight. It was so beautiful. Damon and I both took pictures with our phones. Then I looked and realized something. I never wanted to be apart from Damon. We were grown up now. I didn't want any other girl to have him. Especially like that girl in the village. She flirts way to much. Damon smiled and we talked the night away. We realized our comfortable friendship had become a lasting love. We both agreed on the one thing we wanted to do...before we came home.

It was the most beautiful sparkly ring I've ever seen. Damon loved how I squealed at it. Right there under the full moon we had a little private ceremony just us. Won't Mom and Sebastian be surprised when they get home. I was a Vanderburg.....now isn't that funny?

[samoht04]

Naaw, Congrats to the Married Couple! 

[loveSims]

Congrats on the wedding! Pixi turn into a beautiful sim.

[Tears of Jade]

One wedding and a travel bug coming right up

[KrispyNickyB]

Hello little one, I'm Pixie and I'm your Mom. This journal marks the line of the long lost Imaginarium royal family. After hundreds of years of banishment a prince so to speak has come to my rescue and freed me. This book will chronicle our journey in freeing other Imaginariums. If you come across any please take care of them as Damon done for me. Be true and stay away from evil ways.

Other than that..well that's it. What'd you expect I'm winging this whole thing myself! I don't know what I'm doing. Wait I probably shouldn't admit to that. I'm excited to meet you. So far all you are is a bulge in my belly. I cannot fit any of my clothes at all. I also don't know what a half-imaginarium and half-sim looks like or acts like. Damon hopes you are a girl. Don't tell but I hope it's a boy. He can get his girl next time around. After all we want a house full of nooboos!

Damon worries over me a lot. I don't know if that's because he's just too logical for his own good or just cares for me. He's excited about meeting the nooboo. After he puts in a long day at the Science lab he comes home and helps build our room. We have a beautiful new room out back. It's big enough to be a tiny apartment even. They put in a beautiful skylight so that  you can see the view outside. It's the best room in all the rookery I say.

Damon and I both wish to have a big family. I love kids so much I work down at the school. They've told me to stay home and rest though. So I sit and read books most of the time. I've learned many new skills. I wish I could practice my martial arts. The doctor won't let me. He says I am to take it easy and eat vegetables. Don't tell anyone but I snuck a cake out and climbed the mountain behind us! I even walked all the way to see Fransica and her kids.

I'm sorry this is so short. I could write notes all day to you. However, I smell smoke from the other room. I think Damon has lit himself on fire again. Honestly, that man should have came with a fire extinguisher! We'll never get the smell out before the party. It's Mom and Sebastian's birthday along with Bryan. Bryan becomes an adult. Mom and Sebastian become elders. Mom says it's a good thing. She' should look like a grandmother before the nooboo comes!

[Tears of Jade]

Awwww! I can't wait to see what the nooboo looks like!

[kiko94]

I have only read some of it, but I'm loving it so far, I really like the Idea, keep it up

[MoonsAreBlue]

Nice update! You know, I'm really enjoying this plotline. Keep it coming.

[Deme]

I like this idea as well: I sometimes feel like nobody likes IFs or IF x their person pairings but me, so this is cute and refreshing.

[KrispyNickyB]

Well for me Ifs get in the way a bit. That's in other stories where I have full houses *coughMillhamscoughs* Other than that they're great. Pixie has proved valuable.

I.Am.Fat. I'm huge...I can't see my feet...and I always want to eat ice cream and spaghetti. This shouldn't taste good. Even the sound of the combination of the two is gross. Yet I eat it morning, noon, and night. Why does this taste good to me. Why can I balance a plate on my stomach. I walk funny and I"m kind tired of being like this. I wonder...are my feet still down there? Can you see them? Why are you hiding them so. Damon is glad that today is Bryan's graduation. He hopes it will distract me. Silly silly man....how am I supposed to forget oh I don't know giant round belly!

He is happy to have started his career and gotten out of school. Bryan's lifetime goal is to be a rockstar. He's also a large flirt. I counted at least ten girls batting their eyes at him at graduation! I feel so sorry for his girlfriend Sarah. She kinda looked lost for a second then perked up when another good looking classmate of walked by. We left the ceremony and thought Bryan would come right home.

According to the tabloids he met the young Star Shue. According to Mom he never came home that night. I hate it for Sarah. However, I don't think she's as interested in him either. A hunch tells me Sarah and Bryan aren't meant to be. My feelings don't point to it. My feelings are always right in these things. After all, all Imaginariums are born with the ability to sense certain things.

Imaginariums could always sense when fate is right and true love is found. It's a feeling from our fingers to our hair. It's pretty tingly and makes me giggle each time. Bryan will settle down with the right girl. That girl isn't Sarah. I should go check and meet this Star gal...

Damon can't handle it. Bryan finally rolled in at 4am, and Damon lost it. They started arguing. For hours they got louder and louder. Mom and Sebastian tried to make them stop. I winced trying to get someone to pay attention to me. Something was happening. I needed help fast!

[loveSims]

Oh no don't stop now! I want to see the nooboo! Awesome update.

[samoht04]

Lol, Pixie is just awesome!  I like IFs in small doses... Hope the family arguement ends in time to witness the birth!

[Tears of Jade]

Damon seems to be in full big brother mode...I wonder who Bryan will end up with? Of course that's me and my weirdness wondering that while everything else is going on

[KrispyNickyB]

After a long night of push, shove, and cmooonnn goooalll baby Nicholas was born. I'm not sure why the doctor yelled "cmon goal", but I think the man was a little crazy. Damon and I named little Nicholas after his mother. We all agreed it was the right thing to do. Nicky brought peace and hope to the Imaginariums. She showed Sebastian a better way to live. Money and owning the world wasn't the end all to everything.

Little Nicholas was the second step to helping the future of Hidden Springs. He was the combination of both worlds. With him came the symbol of peace. Damon and I couldn't have been prouder of our little bundle. He's cute too! He has the tiiinnneesssttt little fingers and toes. He giggles when we tickle them too. It makes me laugh when he laughs.

Damon and I drove home very early the next night. My crazy doctor kept us late to "inspect" the new "specimen". I think we need a new doctor. Anyways, we came home to find Bryan and Star in the yard kissing. Star was very obviously expecting a nooboo of her own. Bryan stopped kissing her for a second to explain.

"Hi guys this is Star. We are married, moving in, oh yeah and we used your crib in our room, " Bryan grinned holding Star's hand.

Damon's face turned from pale to red to fury, "Bryan look that's Nichloas's crib. You can't have it. Dad will show you how to make your own."

I was kind of proud of him. This time he didn't try to punch some common sense into Bryan. Bryan has grown up to be the most interesting sim of them all. He loves a good party, wants to be a rockstar, and wasn't born with any common sense whatsoever. Mom is worried he'd forget to feed himself if she didn't remind him. It's okay I didn't mind sharing my maternity clothes with her.

Star seems very doe eyed. She adores Bryan. However, she seems a bit young and naive. Then again they both are. It's hard to believe Damon and I are only a few years older than them. For now we are one big family squeezed into a very tiny Rookery. I think it may be back to the drawing board for Sebastian. He figured out how to expand it the first time around so Damon and I could have an area together.

Mom insists that Bryan and Star's nooboo will sleep downstairs with them. Bryan's happy with that. In his own words, "We'd forget to water it." Mom hasn't the heart to tell them that you don't water a baby. Hopefully though their common sense will kick in. Maybe it will if I hit them with a bat?

So I stand here little Nicholas filling you in on all the happenings. Your Dad tries his hardest to teach your Uncle how to be a grown up man. Yes I laugh too when it happens. Grandma and Grandpa just go with the flow. I think your Grandpa may retire soon. He's taken a liking to fishing. Bryan well he is pursing a record deal in Bridgeport. That's not good news for the baby and Star. Star says she wants to be leader of the free world but not here.

I'm not sure what's going to happen to us little Nicholas...okay Nicholas is way to long of a name. I think I'll call you Nick from now on. You like that don't ya? You have the cutest smile...wait what's that in your crib?

"D...d...d..DAAAMMMOOONNN!!" Pixie screams and faints in shock.

Damon rushes in and stares, "Dear Imaginarium...she's not alone..."

[MoonsAreBlue]

Oh, don't leave us hanging like this!!

[KrispyNickyB]

Nicholas, I love you you know this right? Well....then explain that doll in your crib. Where'd it come from. Who is it? How could it just appear. After all this time. It's not fair. I was alone all alone. For years....and then suddenly someone just popped up. Out of the blue. It's not fair...just not fair.

Damon picked up the doll and turned it over in his hands. There didn't seem to be anything extraordinary about it. I kept saying there had to be. I could sense it I could feel it. Then Damon suggested something I hadn't done since I became real again. He wanted me to transform back into my doll state.

The thought of being invisible again terrified me. Answers were needed. I couldn't sleep at night without knowing them. So I transformed back for a moment.

Hello Pixie. It's me Laurliana

"Holy fish sticks and toast! Lae? Is it really you? Where the world have you been. I thought you disappeared like the others"

I did. I've been lost in a big nosy city. I've seen dump trucks, wastelands, and the back of more post offices than I ever care to. You're real...how. How'd you break this curse?

So I set to explaining. Damon stood patiently unable to hear anything going in. I promised to help Lae and make her whole again also. We didn't quite know how though. For the moment she said she's keep Nick company. Lae says she's drawn to him. She also says Bridgeport is a nasty dirty place and don't banish her back. How could I banish my childhood best friend?

After some experimenting we figured out how to talk without me being in doll form. Damon doesn't mind. Mom and Sebastian are used to "weird and crazy things." I usually set Lae in the living room so she can feel a part of the action during the day. At night though she insists on being right there next to Nick. She claims he needs her.

Panicking in the living room sent us running and cutting my conversation with Lae short. We were going to document and compare notes on the curse later. Star was in labor and Bryan couldn't do anything but panic. Thankfully Sebastian calmly got Bryan to listen long enough to take her to the hospital.

Star had a short easy labor. They were back after only a few hours. Bryan and Star had a precious little baby girl named Aura. Everyone was attached to the little one immediately. Everyone but Bryan and Star that is. They put the crib next to Nick's downstairs. Neither of them ever pay attention to their little girl or wish to.

Don't forget to write how that bothers you.

You interrupting my writing completely throws this book off. How are you doing this anyway?

Call it comic relief and I'm bored. Have you forgotten already how it is to be like this?

Noo but we are talking about the family now.

Continue on. I won't say that they are thinking about leaving

Bryan and Star wouldn't leave would they? They'd take Aura right...right?

That I don't know

That fact made a bit of my hair get a little lighter. Sims get grey hair...Imaginariums hair just turns a lighter shade little by little.

[samoht04]

Poor Aura! I'm glad that there is another Imaginarium! 

[MoonsAreBlue]

Congrats for the new nooboo! I hope Star and Bryan don't leave her, and I hope Laurliana turns real soon. Great story!

[Tears of Jade]

Dun dun dun! What's going to happen now?

[KrispyNickyB]

Am I going to fast? I feel like I'm on a roll and keep wanting to type. However, then I see I juustt posted oh yesterday. I have a ton of pictures though. Debate over I'll post anyways. If you want me to slow down you can just say so

Oh and don't get confused if I spell Laeanna Laurana's name a hundred different ways. I literally cannot remember how I spell it when I write.

Mom says they grow up fast. She is completely right. In order to celebrate the nooboo's birthdays we all had a special dinner. Not that Aura or Nick could eat it.

Or me

Was I talking to you?

Just saying I liked steak...and salmon...and grilled steak and salmon

Never mind the menu, Nick loved the little faeries that came to spread their magic. He cooed and giggled waving his little fist trying to catch one. For a moment I almost wanted him to stay small and cuddly. I've become attached to both of the little ones. Fondness turned into frustration quickly. We kept trying to take pictures but for every time Aura would smile Nick would blink. Then Aura would pick her nose and Nick would smile. Damon and I gave up after about an hour of bad shots. So I'll paste the best one in here. Live this one down little stubborn boy. You are so much like your Dad.

Sebastian, Damon, and Bryan constructed the empty spare room to a play room. It's perfect for little tikes to play in. Our bedroom is off to the side. It's also open to the living room. So no matter what someone is around in the house to keep an eye on them. Mom, Star, and myself set up the dollhouse, xylophone, and blocks. All of the things to help a toddler learn everything they need to know.

I tried to convince Star to move Aura upstairs with them. She kept brushing me off saying it was better she was downstairs. I have a bad feeling about them two. It doesn't feel right. It feels disturbing for lack of a better word.

I heard the front door shut at about four am the next morning. It was the one thing we knew was coming. It wasn't a surprise at all. Yet still we all hoped they wouldn't do it. I picked up the letter and read.

"Pix,
              I got a huge huge huge deal with a record company in Bridgeport. It's worth a lot of money. We know you guys think very little     about wealth. It's been my life long dream to be a rockstar and this little island can't get me there. Star wants to rule the world...she'll give you the island though.  I don't think she'd dare touch it. Take care of our little boobear. We'll visit often. A big city is no place for a kid. Not to mention we'd forget to water her. We will visit often and send presents to her. Later guys!

Bryan"

So now I'm the mother of two instead of just one and loveable Aunt. I couldn't change their minds. Many family arguments
had happened to try and change their minds. It was best though. Aura would get the best care here. Not to mention she's
a happy and healthy little girl.

There's always Nick and I! Don't forget us...speaking of which can you tell your kid to stop squeezing so hard when he hugs? Sheesh, I don't want my head to pop off before we figure out how to break my curse!

[MoonsAreBlue]

Poor Aura! Bryan and Star are so irresponsible. By the way, the first and second lines of the letter are cut off for me when I read it.

[KrispyNickyB]

I changed it. That's what I get for experimenting.

[MoonsAreBlue]

I changed it. That's what I get for experimenting.

It's okay. I just couldn't see the last couple words. But now I can!

[Tears of Jade]

Awww the kids are so cute!

[KrispyNickyB]

No one ever told me how quickly babies grow up. Aura and Nick are both ample musicians on their little xylophones. Aura's read every book we leave lying around for her also has mastered the little peg box. A piece of me wishes to keep them little and cute forever. What mother doesn't ya know?

Everyone helps out with the little ones. I've debated on a career change. I've been helping out at the school. However, I just like being at home with the kids. Damon teases me for becoming such  homebody. I like kids...I like being a Mom. I like playing pretend and all of the things that come with it.

Then it hits me. I want another one badly. Damon and I talked late into the night about the possibility. We both were kind of scared. Would we be able to support another one? We already had Aura and Nick. Both were very young. However, a few days later I was very nauseous. Then I realized ready or not our little family was about to become bigger.

Damon is very excited about nooboo number two. I am too. I can't wait to announce it to everyone at the birthday party. Mom and I have been cooking all day long for Aura and Nick's birthday party. We've been teaching little Aura on who Bryan and Star are to her. They are traveling in for the party.

I just hope Star isn't too upset when she realizes Aura won't call me anything but Mama.

The family gets here and what do you know? We can't start the party. Apparently, it was the paparazzi's time to meet Grim Reaper. I've never seen a grim reaper before. All of the sims refer to him as Grim. He's a very skinny bony person. You can't see his face. Which is rather ridiculous. Why hide in a black cloak? Everyone seemed skittish and afraid of him. They thought it was a bad omen.

Sims are so superstitious. Why on earth would it be a bad omen for someone to pass away right outside. Now the fact he stayed for the party. That I will agree was a little weird. Good thing we had two cakes. Grim ate three pieces. He also laughed and pointed as each toddler went up to the cake to blow out the candles. Why on earth would he laugh at that?

Aside, from Grim creeping out all the sims the party was a success. Everyone enjoyed themselves and had a great time laughing and talking. Star and Bryan enjoyed playing with their little girl for the day. Aura still insisted I lift her to the birthday cake though. I think she's a bit on the shy side. Two children and a nooboo on the way. This house is becoming a kid's paradise. We trip over toys everywhere. It's a good problem though.

[loveSims]

Great update! It's funny that Grim stayed for the party lol

[cathyknits]

I just started reading - I love this story so far!

[Tears of Jade]

I told you Grim liked you He's a real party animal...I wonder if that's one of his traits?

[samoht04]

Wasn't Grim a constant attendee at Juxt's Parties? Happy Birthday to the kids! Congrats on the impending Imaginarium! Did Nick get the Imaginary Friend gene from his Mother?

[KrispyNickyB]

I haven't been in the game since this happened when I played last week. I didn't notice it then. It was kinda chaotic because we had aging up, dying, and labor all in the same moment!

[KrispyNickyB]

I don't know if it's because I'm real or if it was because a lot happened. Life sped by at full speed fast-forward reverseish.

You know that makes no sense right?

Shush Lae just wait until you have kids! Anyways, we barely got the cake cut when I went into labor. Heave ho off we go! This time it was a lot easier. Within a short while little Diaenna was born.

I don't think I scared Nick and Aura too badly with my cries of pain. Damon and I talked into the night that night about my job. We had Nick, Aura, Diaenna, and Lae to take care of now. Now that Nick was a child we didn't know how Lae would react. For the past several days, she had remained a doll still.

Nick made sure to play with Lae. I had to remind him constantly to do his homework. I didn't want my son to grow up uneducated. Learning was an amazing thing. Reluctantly, he would put her down and go to his homework. Aura always sat at the table with him. I really thing Aura does most of the work and Nick copies. I have yet to catch them though.

Sebastian has retired as an International Super Spy. He spends the day piddling around the house. For weeks I looked on him with envy. Sebastian was able to stay at home all day and play with Diaenna. One night at dinner, I told Damon my proposal. A few gals at the school had toddlers and not much money for a babysitter. I wanted to be at home with the kids. If you saw the mess this house is in when I get home you'd want to stay home also! So I've quit my job at the school. I now babysit little Diedra and Jackie everyday.

Right after I began my new daycare Lae disappeared from my sight. I cannot hear or see her anymore. Nick assures me she is still there and is just as tall as he is. He pats my arm and says constantly that he is taking good care of her. I know Lae wishes to be real also. She doesn't like being a cursed doll.

Damon helped Nick create the old formula they used to free me. However, it hasn't worked on her. Only Nick can see her. I guess this is a good thing, because we are going to need more beds and fast.

The strangest thing of everything is Nick. He's the first half-Imaginarium/half-sim. He looks like an even enough mixture of Damon and I. One day I came home to find this though....

I was lucky Mom was around to get a picture. I was only able to see Lae for a split second. There she was with Nick talking...and Nick looked like an Imaginarium doll. Nick is proud of his doll form. He's starting to walk around like that more and more. Damon and I have yet to see if he can strut or has any of the magical abilities an Imaginarium has. I'm not quite sure how I feel about watching him as a doll though.

That's not my only worry. I caught Damon out by the Fountain of Youth. I think he's been wishing. He's aging faster than I am. It bothers him...I can sense he feels responsible. He's worried. We have two kids and I know it bothers him he may not be here to watch them grow up.

[Tears of Jade]

Poor Damon! I hope he gets to see his kids grow up. I didn't know that the kids of IF's could change into the doll form costume thing.

[KrispyNickyB]

Kids,kids are everywhere! Before we knew it little Dieanna grew up to be a little toddler.

She looks like an angel in her Daddy's blonde hair and eyes. There's another side to her. My little girl...the one who is supposed to be the little sweetheart has hit the terrible twos.

I am at my wits end and she is a handful! At night Dieanna cries. During the day she gets mad and throws fits. Nick was never like this. He was such a mild mannered baby. I hope Dieanna grows out of it. I"m trying my best. However, I'm starting to think a time out may be necessary. This bad behavior has got to stop.

Nick seems to have the touch though. He sits Dieanna down to play with her. Dieanna calms down and coos for her big brother. I'm grateful he finds time to help out his crazy Momma! I know Lae must not like the time he spends ignoring her. I wouldn't know since it's hard to see or talk to her nowadays.

Damon is close to figuring out just the right potion to make Lae real. I'm glad...grateful....sorta..it's well...the house is a mess. There's kids everywhere. I'm not sure if I'm ready for another to raise or help raise in Lae's case. If she follows my trend she'll become uncursed at the exact same spot Nick is at. That and I know how I felt for Damon. I'm not ready to lose my little boy to a best friend....or a girlfriend. He's just a baby.

The house is a zoo of kids. They squeal and slide down bannisters. I love them but I'm tired...draggy even. I can't keep up at all. I have to somehow teach Aura to walk down stairs like a lady. Dieanna needs to learn all her toddler skills. Now if only I can get rid of this stomach bug...

[Tears of Jade]

Awww someones about to lose her baby. He's growing up to fast...though I'm wondering if its really the stomach bug that she has

[samoht04]

Hmmm? Stomach Bug? 

[KrispyNickyB]

Hey they wished for it. Who am I to argue

Time flew and quickly Damon and I realized we were expecting again. Before we knew it we welcomed our little Sammy into the world. I'm happy and adore our little nooboo. However, that is not what this entry is about.

You see Imaginariums love all things. There is nothing we don't like with only one exception. Imaginariums do not get along with cats. We hate cats. It is an undeniable fact of nature. Simply, putting it there are no good cats. It is believed Sims are descendants of the first cats. That is why they are so evil and a bit greedy.

Now that I have documented some history let me show you what my dear darling little son did.

While I was giving birth, he adopted a stray cat. What's worse is that his grandparent's let him! Why on earth would they let that smelly thing into the house? We have a toddler and a booboo in the house now. They did not need to be around that mangy smelly cat.

Nick named it Tiger Kitty. I couldn't banish it from the house. It would break his heart. At least that cat gets along with most people. That cat loves everyone but me. This is just fine by me. I avoid it. Avoiding a cat in a full house isn't an easy thing to do.

Aura spends hours teaching it how to "dance."

Mom spoils it all day long. She slips him treats constantly praising what a good boy he is.

Someone explain to me a puzzling situation. I don't like the cat. The cat doesn't like me. I just gave birth to a booboo. So why am I the one stuck giving the thing a flea bath?

[Tears of Jade]

Because Kitty doesn't like you Pixie

[KrispyNickyB]

Hi folks. I haven't forgotten Pixie or this story. I just well did a bad thing. I have a maxed out house with all kids and all. It's a lot of work to play this story. I love it I really do. However, I'm going to put this story on indefinite hiatus. I'm unsure as to where the story should go from here. The story to me really ended with Pixie being free. I'll play the game. However, I'm not sure if there's more to Pixie's story other than a "Happily Ever After". I assure you. She does live "happily ever after".

[samoht04]

I'm glad she lives happily ever after! I know what you mean about running out of ideas and inspiration though. I often get this cool idea but once I complete it I sort of think 'Now what?'. I'm sure Pixie will live on though!

[Upinde_wa_Mvua]

Next to Simbots, IFs are my favourite species, so I'm definitely glad that someone did this!
