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?
