The end comes into sight.

1. All Hail The Ghost Fire
Wynter Wonderland: A WYDC
Chapter Thirteen

2. Welcome back to Wynter Wonderland: A WYDC! Why do the teenagers look so angry?
Last time, actually kind of a lot of time passed. Therese became a teenager at the beginning, and is now close to her
adult birthday, if that gives you a relative time frame. Ruth, Quinn, and Sofia all moved out. The U triplets became
teenagers, and children Valene and Westlyn were both born. Poor Ubert and Landon are a little outnumbered at the
moment. We finally got rid of Delivery Lady, and Wynn and Landon really started powering through careers for those
ever-delightful points. Also, Therese painted a picture of a toilet.
Onwards!

3. Wynn: “Swing your partner, dosey do!”
Undine: “Come on, Valene! Dancing is part of being a Kinsey! Join in! It’s fun!”
Valene: “I, uh… just ate. Yeah. Wouldn’t want to get cramps, you know. You guys have fun.”
Undine: “That’s swimming, silly. Come on. I dare you.”

4. Okay, Wynn. Therese only has two days before her birthday, which means you’re safe to get pregnant again without
bloating the household past the eight person limit.
Wynn: “Do I have to? I mean, I love kids and all, but after twenty-three pregnancies… one of which was triplets…”
Buck up. There’s only three left to go; you’re practically done!
Wynn: “I guess…”
Uriel: “I like food. Food is really the best thing ever invented.”

5. Wynn: “The Ichor Lounge, huh? You know, we seem to come here looking for men an awful lot.”
And it works. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

6. Wynn: “Hey, I’m Wynn.”
Herbert: “I’m Herbert.”
And I’m the Author!
Wynn: “Shut up, Author. I’m busy.”

7. Well, look who else is here. If it isn’t Barcelona herself. You show up to a suspicious number of Wynn’s dates.
Barcelona: “She has a kid with my brother. I need to keep tabs on her.”
Stalkerish much?
Barcelona: “Protective. I’m watching out for Bruges’s interests.”
Barcelona (and her brother Bruges) are from Jessie’s “Night Legacy”, by the way.

8. Wynn: “Author? Herbert ran away.”
Yeah, I thought he might. Go home, hit the energizer, and maybe if you have time before work you can invite him back
out.
Wynn: “Sounds like a plan to me!”
Break!

9. Alright, take two.

10. Um… oops. Sorry… Hex…
Hex is from Sam’s “Wrongway Legacy”.

11. Wynn: “You in the mood for some cereal, Herbert?”
Herbert: “You bet!”
Wynn: “Awesome! So, what’s your sign?”
Herbert: “Um… cancer…? What does this have to do with cereal?”

12. That’s awfully nice of Herbert. Maybe I’ll leave it there for Landon to find tomorrow morning.
…nah. Landon wouldn’t connect the dots, anyway. *sells*

13. Aaaand that’s the last of Wynn’s skills! She’s all maxed out! Hooray! You can put the book down now, Wynn!
Wynn: “Can I take off this dumb thinking cap?”
Yes!
Wynn: “Alright!”

14. Okay Landon! Guess what time it is?
Landon: “Time to fix the computer so I can use it to find a new job.”
Exactly. And why do you need to find a new job?
Landon: “Um… I know this… because… points?”
Precisely! Gold star!

15. Yay! Wynn becomes a mad scientist, and I get another ten points! Landon is upstairs finding a new job as we speak; go join him,
Wynn.
Wynn: “Right. But before I do, guess who I met at the mad scientist conference? My dad and his teenage smustle zombie
minion!”
Oh hey, Bay! Long time no see!
Bay: “Hey Author. Nice to see you. Sort of. I’ve never actually ‘seen’ you…”
And you never will.

16. Wynn: “Hey, Landon. What’d you decide on?”
Landon: “Education. I’m gonna be a teacher and shape young minds. It’s gonna be—ooh, ooh! Look at this, look at
this! Singing snowglobes! AWESOME!”

17. Landon: “Yay, I get to get started teaching right away! Okay, Valene, this is going to be awesome!”
Valene: “Right, Dad. ‘Awesome’.”
Wynn: “Hmm… military or cooking… I think military. I could pull off being an astronaut.”

18. Alright! Here comes Baby… X… Hex, what are you doing here?
Hex: “Getting down!”
Get out.
Hex: “FINE.”

19. Excellent timing, Landon. You got home just in time to greet the headmaster. (Darn, I was hoping it would be
Headmaster Young, Valene’s father.)
Landon: “Oh, it wasn’t just good timing! We carpooled home together! I’m a high school principal now, dontcha
know!”
Headmaster Eyre: “No longer content to just flood the school with their children, the Kinseys are now infiltrating the
upper echelons of the education system. Calling for reinforcements.”

20. This picture is, in a nutshell, the reason why I don’t like the headmasters in this neighborhood. They’re all creepy as all
get out.
Spot the sneaky plumbbob in this picture!

21. Alright, we survived the headmaster and Valene is now in private school.
Headmaster Eyre: “Nice hair, son.”
Ubert: “Thanks!”

22. Now that that’s over with, Therese. It’s time.
Landon: “Uh, who are you?”
HEX WRIGHTWAY. Out! Now!

23. Therese: “The hamburger was this wide, and I ate it! Nom nom nom!”
Get on with it.

24. PfffHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Ah… that’s a good one. To the clothing store we go, then. *wipes tear*

25. Well, that’s it for Therese Kinsey, then. Aw, what’s with the face?
Therese: “I… never went to college.”
Oh. Here I was thinking you were going to miss this place.
Therese: “Well… maybe. A little bit.”
With Therese moving out, that means that all the kids left in the house were born after I got back from my eight-month
hiatus. Little stepping stones to victory.

26. Undine: “Pop?”
Wynn: “Pop.”
Please let there only be one in there. Good “X” names are in kind of short supply…

27. Cake time for Westlyn! Remember that baby we haven’t seen all chapter?

28. Wynn: “Awww, a redhead! Cute!”
She has a pink bow in her hair that matches her everyday! CUTE!!

29. You got promoted for giving your teachers bullhorns to use in class?
Landon: “It’s a tried and tested teaching method!”
Whatever you say.

30. Wynn: “Who wants dinner! Can you say ‘dinner’? Come on, baby girl!”
Westlyn: *completely distracted*
By the way, the similarity in names between “Wynn” and “Westlyn” is really amusing me. Just thought I’d put that out
there.

31. Yep, here comes Baby X.
Just one. Please just one. I mean, we went this whole challenge with singlet births, but now the U triplets have me on
edge…

32. It is indeed just one, and it’s another girl!
Wynn: “Aw, Xantha got Mommy’s eyes, didn’t she? That’s so sweet, isn’t it Xantha? Isn’t it?”
Twenty-four down, two to go. We got this. *cracks knuckles*

33. Wynn: “So, time to go get pregnant with Baby Y?”
Not quite yet. Wait a few days.
Wynn:*sigh* “I’m so close… can’t we just be done?”
We’re getting there, we’re getting there.

34. Hey, you.
Ubert: “Wha...? Whaddayou wan’, Author?” *yawn*
How long do you and your sisters have until your birthday?
Ubert: *yaaaaawn* “Six days. Why…?”
Because there’s three of you.
Ubert: “And…?”

35. And there’s three of you.
Ubert: “So that means…”
Don’t you understand? Wynn only has two pregnancies left.
Ubert: “…”
Even if one of those pregnancies is twins, once you three have left, there will be room in the house for both babies! This
is the end! This is the last time I have to wait to add another kid to the house!

36. Ubert: “Great. That’s wonderful. I’m going back to sleep.”
Spoilsport.
Ubert: “Obnoxious.”
Stick in the mud.

37. Undine: “Ubert, get out. I need to use the facilities.”
Ubert: “Undine! This is a tragedy! I have… pimples!”
Undine: “They’re zits, not a flipping world crisis. Out.”

38. Wynn: “Xantha, please. Just sleep. Such a fussy baby…”

39. Undine the artist up here never seems to be far away from her easel. She’s practically maxed her creativity
autonomously already.
Undine: “I have a Gift, Author. A gift which must be Expressed.”
Oh, yes. Only a great master could paint such a gripping sunset.
Undine: “Sunrise, actually.”

40. Okay, double birthday time! Westlyn, you’re up!
Westlyn: *confused by door*
Aw man, she’s just so cute!

41. Ducky floaty, of course.
Uriel: “Traditions must be upheld, Author.”

42. Alright, Westlyn’s new outfit! I picked it specifically to keep matching that adorable pink hairbow. So, Westlyn…
Westlyn… hey, wouldja look at me when I’m talking to you?
Westlyn: *totally distracted*

43. But before we head to the clothing store, Xantha gets her shot at the cake!
Landon: “You’re going to grow up nice and peaceful, aren’t you, Xantha? No more fussiness, you’re going to become
the nicest little toddler there ever was, right?”
Uh-huh.
Landon: “She will!”
Uh-huh.

44. Landon: “Wow, she looks so much like Wynn!”
Let’s see her without the toddler bob of death and destruction before we pass judgment.
Landon: “Her hair isn’t that bad…”

45. Hm… yeah, Landon’s right. Xantha is like a tiny brunette Wynn.
Landon: “Toldja!”
In fact, I’m giving her Wynn’s hairstyle for her toddlerdom. Just because she’s so like her mommy.
Landon: “I like it!”
I do too! Although she’ll need some originality when she’s older.

46. Undine: *singing* “We are FAMILY! I got all my sistahs with me!”
Mini-Wynn Xantha: *singing* “Ooba she bobba BOO!”
Literally, Landon set her down and she immediately went to the stereo. He fed her smart milk, she drank it, and then
went back to dancing. She’s going to fit right in around here, I can already tell!

47. Wynn: {Holy cow, it’s like looking in a mirror. If she’s a mini-me, it’s no wonder she was a pain when she was a baby.}
“Okay Xantha, say ‘Mommy’!”
Xantha: “Ma-mee?”
Wynn: “That’s right! Mommy! Good job!”

48. Wynn: “Razzin’ frazzin’ dishwasher… top of the line, they said… breaks every other day…” *incomprehensible
grumbling* “…heap of junk…”

49. Westlyn: “Mom… I could use some help with this… could you, um… do more than stand and nod?”
Wynn:*loom*
Westlyn: “…not helping…”
Literally, Wynn set up to help Westlyn with her homework, and then just stood and nodded. No other animations. Just
nodding. Very helpful.

50. Promotion for Landon! What, no “I’m home, family” animation today?
Landon: “Brr, it’s cold… I’m going inside and taking a bubble bath!”
And that is exactly what he did.

51. Wynn: “Hehe, Landon, you’ve got an eyelash on your cheek. Can I brush it off and make a wish?”
Landon: “You know what, Wynn? I really love you. You’re amazing.”
Wynn: “Wow, that was a strong reaction to—”
*WHISTLE* Okay, Wynn! The triplets have three days to their birthday! Time to go!
Wynn: “Er… sorry, Landon. I have places to be. You know, things to do.”
Landon: “Okay! See you later, Wynn!”

52. We’ve already done some priming on Andrew here, so hopefully this’ll be quick and easy, and he won’t run out on us
like your last couple of dates have.
Wynn: “Shush. I’m working.”
You’re not sore about me interrupting you and Landon, are you?
Wynn: *cough* “No!”

53. Andrew: “I’m a Libra.”
Wynn: “Oh, wow, Andrew! Your eyes are red!”
Andrew: “Yeah… my mother was a vampire. Do you mind?”
Wynn: “Naw, I have an ex who’s a vampire. They’re cool in my book.”
That’s right, you were too young to remember the loathe back when your family was a legacy, huh? Well, don’t let me burst your
bubble. Keep enjoying your date.
Wynn: “Author, do you mind?”

54. Wynn: “So, what do you think of cereal?”

55. Landon: “Well Xantha, I guess it’s just me and you today. Your mommy went in to work, so I took the day off to stay
with you. Sound good?”
Xantha:*intense squint*
Landon: *chuckle* “Yep, just like Wynn.”

56. Well, look who finally got himself permaplat! Nicely done, Landon!
Landon: “Hm… the red book or the blue book…”
If only you’d done it when you needed to be handing out smart milk and drinking elixir of life every other day.
Landon: “Decisions, decisions…”

57. Senior Officer Wynter Kinsey!
Wynn: “Yesss, I’m awesome!”

58. Uriel: “Weehee! Yoo-hoo-hoo! Ahahaha!”
Very cute, Uriel.

59. Uriel: “You didn’t see anything.”
Who, me? See what?
Uriel: “Exactly.”

60. You’re up, Valene! Happy birthday!
By the way. I watched you break the computer on your way down here. You monster.
Valene: “Pictures or it didn’t happen.”
Point conceded.

61. Nice. You go ahead and keep that outfit. Any thoughts on aspiration?
Valene: “Oh, definitely Popularity.”
Really? Okay. Go for it.

62. Wynn: “Oof! Hello there, Baby Y!”
You know, it’s always that spot where you pop. I swear I have fifty of this same picture.
Wynn: “Well, what can I do? These things tend to happen in the middle of the night, you know, when I’m asleep.”
Sleep on the other side of the bed?

63. So Westlyn, you mind explaining to me what you were doing spying on the neighbors?
Westlyn? Are you listening to me?
Westlyn: *awed by snow*

64. Wynn: “Okay, Mini-Me. Let’s go.”
Xantha: *smile*

65. At least Ubert looks like he approves. Undine and Wynn just look bored. It’s almost like they’ve seen two dozen of
these already.
Wynn: “Two dozen? Author, Xantha is my twenty-fourth child. That’s two dozen right there, and each of those kids has
five birthday transitions apiece!”
Okay, so a lot more than two dozen.

66. Seriously, look at that. Xantha is Wynn as a child.
…okay, I guess I’d better give her her own hairstyle and stop blubbering over how alike they look. It’s just very
striking, that’s all.

67. There. That should do it. Though to be honest, I like her mom’s hairstyle on her better. But I might be biased.

68. Wynn: “I was in the living room when I popped this time, Author.”
Thank you. I appreciate the variety in backgrounds.

69. All hail the ghost fire.
Spooky spooky.

70. Wynn: “Hey, Corey? Yeah, this is Wynn. Yeah, good to hear from you, too. You know, we’ve apparently been BFFs
since forever. Who knew, right?” *nervous laugh* “Hey, Corey… since we’re already so close and all… would you
mind stopping by tomorrow? Thanks.”

71. Well hello there, Mr. Education Minister!
Landon: “Hi, Author! Time to repair the computer and switch jobs?”
That’s right!

72. Wow, you’re actually helping her figure out her homework, Wynn? Shock and dismay!
Wynn: “Lesson one, Xantha. Ignore the Author when she gets that tone in her voice.”
Xantha: “Okey-dokey, artichokey!”

73. Alright. Let’s get a nice, synchronized adult birthday, okay?
Ubert: “Hey, Uriel? Uriel? Does my hair look perfect? I want it to be perfect.”
Uriel: “Actually…”
Ubert: *gasp* “NO! We can’t grow up yet, Author! I have to fix my hair!”
Relax. It looks just fine.

74. And there we are, triplet adults! Gee, raising triplets wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought it would be.
Wynn: “Big household. Lots of help. Spacious rooms. Remember?”
Oh, yeah. I’ll reserve judgment until I’ve done it in a normal house, then.

75. And so Zane Devereaux’s triplets Ubert, Undine, and Uriel Kinsey (in that order) head off into the wide, cruel world as
townies. Any final thoughts?
Uriel: “What’s that over there?”

76. The Ghost Fire lives.

77. What’s the matter? There’s no dancing going on!
Wynn: “We’re… down to five of us in the house.”
Yeah? What’s the problem with that?
Xantha: “The place feels so… empty, you know what I mean, lean bean?”
…lean bean?

78. AND IN THIS CORNER! THE EVER-LOVELY AND STILL CHAMPEEN OF THE PILLOW-TABLE CORNER,
WE HAVE—
Wynn: “SHUT IT.”
*ahem* Here comes Baby Y, right on time! Yay!

79. Wynn: “Well hello there, Yates!”
A boy? A BOY!! YES!!
Wynn: “Well. The Author got a bit excited there, didn’t she? She’s silly, isn’t she, Yates?”

80. Wynn: “Hey, Corey.”
Corey: “Hey, Wynn! Good to see you!”
Wynn: “We actually have the headmaster showing up in ten minutes, so would you mind holding on till he’s shuffled
through? I’d be much obliged.”
Corey: “Oh, sure. Sorry I was at work when you called.”
Apology not accepted. Humph.

81. Headmaster Robertson: “You have a lovely house, Mrs. K! Absolutely, Westlyn and Xantha can join the school! Just
two left after them, right?”
Wynn: “Right! Goodbye, Headmaster! Thank you!”
Headmaster Robertson: “The pleasure is mine!”

82. Wynn: “So… Corey.”

83. Wynn: “What’s your sign?”
Corey: “Libra. Why?”
Wynn: “Nothing. Just curious is all.”

84. Okay, Landon. I need you to take another drive around town, okay?
Landon: “Okay! Sounds fun!”
*sigh* Last one. Last one…

85. Wynn: “Finally. That was it. That’s the last time I have to be unfaithful to Landon in the name of this challenge.”
Corey: “I’m happy for you, Wynn. I hope we’ll stay friends?”
Wynn: “Oh, of course! I want you to come see Baby Z whenever you want!”
Corey: “’Baby Z’, huh? Interesting nickname.”

86. Okay, time for an adorable little boy’s birthday!

87. Look at that face. Is that or is that not the cutest sim baby you have ever seen?
Thumbs up!

88. …Rhys Fitzhugh (Marina’s “Fitzhugh Legacy”) is in our kitchen.

89. Oh well! Baby boy!
EEK!! So cute!!

90. Landon: “Daddy!”
Yates: *hiccup*
Landon: “Daddy!”
Yates: *glance* “Daaa-dee?”
Landon: “That’s right! Daddy! You’re so smart, Yates!”

91. Hey, you’re on the other side of the bed!
Wynn: “And you know what else?”
What?
Wynn: “I’m pregnant. FOR THE LAST TIME.”
Hooray!! Watch this one be triplets again.

92. Oh yeah, Landon needed a new job! Okay. You’ve been mayor. You’ve been a lawyer. You’ve been a professor. What’s
next?
Landon: “A brain surgeon.”
Naturally.

93. Okay, Westlyn! Ready to be a teenager?
Westlyn: “…no…”

94. Westlyn: “…amazing.”
What is?
Westlyn: “Just… amazing.”
So… aspiration?
Westlyn: “Knowledge.”
Sounds about right.

95. I’m not even going to bother trying to talk to her. She’s not paying attention.

96. Pop number two!
Wynn: “So… tantalizingly… CLOSE!!” *big grin*

97. Westlyn: “Really? Bigfoot?”
Valene: “And the genie, and the pirate ghost!” *snicker snort*
Westlyn: “That’s so awesome!”

98. Valene: “Hello, Sim State? Yes, this is Valene Kinsey. …no, I don’t intend to attend your school anymore than my older
siblings did.”

99. Westlyn: “…can we have the scholarships anyway?”
That’s two more points for me. Cool.

100. That’s a promotion.
Landon: *yawn*

101. Wynn: “Author, please take a few steps back. I can’t even see you, but you’re making me nervous hovering like this.”
Sorry! Sorry. Just excited.
Wynn: “Me too. Sorta.”

102. Wynn: “Ooh…”
Ooh! Ooh! OOH! THIS IS IT!
Valene: “A little more height, Westlyn.”

103. Here we go! *biting nails*

104. Wynn: “Well hello there, Zarina! We’ve been waiting a very long time to meet you!”
Just one of her this time. So, we got through the whole challenge with only one set of multiples, and it was triplets?
What are the odds of that?
Anyway, this challenge is just about over. Now all that’s left is getting Zarina here up to adulthood. Obviously we don’t
have time for that in this chapter, soooo… let’s see the scores!
