2. Here weâre back at Silver Bend for the Colours turn in the rotation! Last
week was rather eventful. Amanda gave birth to her three children, Bran in
front, Amandaâs holding Olaf and Thaiâs got a handful with Odin. They didnât
reach their goal of both having bronze robotics badges last week. But oh
well, the goal this week is get at least $200,000 for the college fund.
3. âBabaâ Odin said reaching for the counter.
âNo no.â Thai said grabbing the toddlerâs hand, it was the wee
hours of the morning, but Odin and Olaf were full of energy.
Odin giggled and squirmed to get down, babbling at Thai in baby
noises.
âWe need to teach you and your brother to talk.â Thai sighed, twins
were so much harder.
4. Though talking was not the first thing that Odin learned.
Amanda spent the morning teaching her son to walk.
5. After she laid the twins down for a nap she spent the
rest of the day on the phone to maintain her friendships.
It was strange having the house quiet. Thai and Bran
were at work and school. But it was nice to have time to
catch up with her friends.
6. Thai came home for his job with no promotion. He
sighed, it was hard to get his needed skills while the kids
were little. He decided to head to iRobot, Amanda
would be fine for a few more hours.
7. It was hard to juggle sales and the register by himself.
But he managed. He didnât manage to get the store any
higher in rank. Though he sold enough to make a decent
profit.
8. Christy and Sandy came by for spaghetti dinner.
âSorry about the toaster pastry.â Thai apologized, Bran
hadnât finished his breakfast.
âNo bother, this spaghetti is delicious, tell Amanda she
did a great job.â
9. âSo you remember we have one more pregnancy.â
Amanda said in a low seductive tone.
âI didnât forget, I thought you wanted to wait a little bit.â
âI do, but we should try anyway, I like living on the wild
side.â
âDonât have to tell me twice.â
10. âAlright Olaf, say next time itâs Daddyâs turn to change
diapers.â
âDaddy!â Olaf giggled.
11. âCopepods eat plankton, mandarins eat copepods, anemone eats the
mandarin, butterfly fish eats anemones.â Bran recited off his homework,
âMom do I have to learn this?â
âYes, now finish up, so you can go to bed.â Amanda chided. Though she had
to agree the fish based curriculum here was a bit strange.
12. As Bran struggled with his homework, Tiffany struggled
with her own dilemma. She was giving birth!
13. She gave birth to two puppies, Kay the brown girl
puppy, and Zimmer the white male puppy.
14. Tiffany was too exhausted after giving birth to realize
that her new found friend had a stinky surprise. Thai
sighed, he was going to wait until tomorrow to give her a
bath. But he couldnât wait now.
15. âHi Keika thanks for coming over.â
âNo problem! You said there was a surprise for me.â
âYeah, Tiffany had puppies last night. Pony wants the
girl to breed so I figured Iâd give you the boy.â
16. âThai, Zimmer is cute, but I canât afford a puppy.â
âOh really, just think about a sec Keika. Right now heâs a
puppy, but soon heâs going to be a grown dog. You can
train him all his tricks. Then he can get a job and pay for
himself.â Thai reasoned.
17. âWell when you put it like that how could I resist?â
âPuppies are hard to resist as it is.â Thai grinned.
18. After Keika left, Ambi came over.
âThanks for the puppy Thai. I thought you werenât going
to buy into Ponyâs puppy breeding scheme.â
âI wasnât, but Bran is really excited about it. He wants
Jonah to have Tiffanyâs puppy. We really donât need
three dogs anyway.â
19. Ambi stayed a while. It wasnât often he got a break from
his large family. Thai invited him for an outing. They
hadnât really had a chance to hang out since the long
ship ride over.
20. Even though the Diems lived across the street, Rebecca
and Julie rarely came home with Bran. Bran didnât have
time for silly girls anyways. All his friends were in high
school, he was the only boy in the elementary school at
the moment. But he had plenty of time to study and
came home with an A+.
21. Being the only boy at school wasnât going to last long. It
was Odinâs and Olafâs birthday.
22. Both boys grew up in a flurry of sparkles and green
pajamas. Odin choose balloon bearing bears and Olaf
choose a green robe like his older brother.
23. âWill I make friends at school? Best friends?â
âWill Mom be coming to school with us?â
Odin and Olaf grilled their older brother with questions
about their first day of school.
24. Olaf decided to change his hair. Growing it out a little.
He needed glasses like his older brother. But he didnât
have to wear them at night.
25. Sugar filled cake filled left the boys unable to sleep. So
an impromptu block building competition started.
âLast one to build a tower has to clean all the toilets!â
Bran shouted.
26. Amanda was up late too, working on her robotics badge.
Her newest child made itself known.
âHey there, how much does Mommy have to pay you to
be a girl?â
27. âSee ya later Amanda, Iâm off to the club.â
âOkay, have fun, Iâm gonna eat a whole plate of pop tarts
and pass out on the couch.â
28. Thai hesitated a second before turning the ticket
machine up $200. He wanted his kids to go to college
too. But he didnât want to drive away too much
business.
29. âArenât you two supposed be in school?â Thai asked the
teenagers that invaded his club.
âWeâre out for an assembly.â They said quickly. A little
too quickly.
âUh huh, just stay away from the juice bar.â
30. âThai this is the best place ever. Iâll pay whatever you
ask.â Jan exclaimed when Thai told her why he raised the
prices.
âThanks Jan.â
âHey, those kiddos have to get educated.â
31. âWant to go on an outing?â Thai offered.
âSure thatâll be great.â
32. âI want to go on an outing too, Thai!â Sandy waving her
arms.
âYou know Iâm married right?â Thai said.
âNot a date, an outing. Youâre the coolest guy in town,
but Sandy ainât gonna be settling down.â
âAh, I guess it wouldnât hurt.â
33. Thai closed up after he rake in $50,000 for the University
Fund. A quarter down. $150,000 to go.
34. He came home to find Amanda curled up on the couch.
35. He took the dogs outside to keep them quiet.
âFetch Tiffany!â Thai shouted.
âRuff!â Tiffany barked happily.
36. Delilah came by and stole the invisible newspaper. Thai
sighed, so the thieving begins.
37. This pregnancy was taking itâs toll on her. As soon as she
fell asleep, the baby would wake her up again.
38. She was fed up with staying home too.
âThai letâs both go to Colouriffic today.â She said taking
his hand. âWe could have a date too.â
âYou donât have to ask me twice.â Thai grinned, âJust let
me take a shower.â
39. Even with raised prices, Colouriffic was as popular as
ever. It quick rose two ranks.
40. âYouâre the coolest sim Iâve met in ages.â Jan told Thai. âI
got a free TV you should sample.â
âThanks Jan.â Thai grinned, he sold it after she left. It
wasnât the nicest thing to do. But it would help out a lot
with the Uni fund.
42. Thai closed up shop. It was still early in the day. This
was going better than he had planned.
43. âHow about that date?â Thai purred in Amandaâs ear
when they got home.
âYouâre shameless.â
44. They had a nice date. Then they settled down for a quiet
afternoon. Amanda continued to work on her robotics
badge while That studied for mechanical skills points. He
was a couple away from a promotion.
45. An hour passed before Amanda got restless.
âThai letâs go back to work. Iâm bored.â
âAlright, I just have to put this book away.â
46. Amanda made a beeline for the DJ booth, her favorite
thing. She loved watching people dance.
47. Thai kept himself busy with the ticket sales. And making
friends, Ivy Cooper was more than delighted to go on an
outing.
48. Silver Bendâs newest resident came by to visit.
âGabie! I heard you were here.â
âYeah, Pony bribed me with adulthood.â
âSheâs underhanded sometimes.â
49. âIâm actually winning! I think Iâll give this place a star.â
Shelby mused to herself. Colouriffic was at last rank ten!
50. Thai used some of the earnings to purchase another
community lot. Dreamweaver was Silver Bendâs first
bookstore.
51. âI never thought I make so much money.â Thai mused
when Colouriffic officially made $100,000. He donated
another $75,000 to the Uni fund.
52. âHey how does it feel to be rich.â Thai smiled at Amanda.
âMy feet hurt and your child is sitting on my bladder. So
it feels great to be rich.â
âSpoil sport.â
53. âYou guys didnât have to follow us over.â Amanda said.
They had gone to Dreamweaver.
âPuhlease, Amanda. We all want to see the new store.
Iâll finally be able to catch up on my favorite series.â
Melissa said. âItâs a paranormal romance.â
54. Thai and Amanda got to work. Only a few bookcases to
start out with. But Amanda had a plan in mind.
55. Andrea and Katy were quick to give stars. Dreamweaver
was rank 2 in no time.
56. Thai was a little surprised on how much the people here
loved to read.
âAre you planning to stock more gardening books? I
noticed youâre missing âHow to Grow Cowplants:
Without Being Eatenââ
âWeâre gonna try, itâs a little hard to import rarer books.â
57. Back home, Thai made up some tasty grilled cheese for
his boys.
58. âA B+ blek, I wanted an A.â Odin whined when he got off
the bus.
59. Olaf brought home Rebecca from school.
âI like your glasses.â Olaf grinned.
âThey help me catch dirty robbers.â Rebecca
said aiming a finger gun.
âYouâll never catch me you copper!â
60. Rebeccaâs twin Julie had come home with Odin. They
joined him eating leftovers for dinner.
61. Tiffany slunk off for a break. Luckily for her all the extra
children went home when it got dark.
62. âThai wake up.â Amanda whispered harshly.
âWah, what is it?â Thai said groggily.
64. âHi there.â Amanda said after a quick labor. âYou were
ready, huh. I think Iâll call you Oddmund.â
Oddmund had his fatherâs everything. Just like his older
brothers. Amanda liked to pretend the black hair was
from her.
65. Thai couldnât go back to sleep after the birth of his
fourth son.
âYou think Amanda would want to try for a girl?â He
asked Hans.
âWoof!â
66. Bran and Olaf grew closer together over chess.
âPeople with glasses are super smart right Bran?â Olaf
asked.
âYes, glasses make you super smart. So you can beat
me at chess.â
67. Thai spent the morning in the rather neglected garden.
He kept forgetting that it was the only way to refill their
fridge until a grocery store was built.
69. âHey Amanda, I heard you had another baby. Congrats.â
âThanks Keika, come inside for lunch.â
70. âSo howâs Alice?â
âSheâs great, quiet kid, I hope the next one is quiet.â
Keika smiled, âlooks like your OWBC is going well.â
âIâd say so. Itâs a little hard to keep up with all the
businesses right now.â
âWell once we have college youâll be able to stop going
to Colouriffic. That should help.â
71. Keika hung out for Branâs birthday.
âMake a wish, sweetie.â Amanda encouraged.
72. Bran wished for prestige and popularity. He wanted to
be mayor of Silver Bend.
73. âSo Bran is old enough to watch the kids now.â Thai said.
âThai, he just grew up.â
âKeika is here to help out, we only need $25,000 more
for the Uni fund.â
âOh fine, weâll go.â
74. Pony and Ambi made appearance at Colouriffic.
âItâs good to see Thaiâs doing well.â Pony smiled.
âYes, your town is coming along just fine.â Ambi grinned,
âNow quit trying to distract me, I know you have an ace
under your hand.â
âWhatever do you mean, dearest?â
75. One of the reviewers from the next island over stopped
by. She didnât say much, but she seemed happy and
danced hour away.
76. Both Amanda and Thai got busy making friends and
going on outings.
77. They made another $50,000 for the Uni Fund and then
some. Thai finally upgraded the bathroom. A level ten
business needed a classy bathroom.
78. Thai went to work late at night. He was raking in
promotions but he couldnât wait for the hours to even
out.
79. âHey Hans, Dad gave all our puppies away. I really want
a dog of my own. Still up to being a dad?â
âRuff!â
âOf course you are, Tiffany is smoking!â
80. At last Amanda finished her bronze robotics badge. Now
for the silver.
84. Saturday meant Reno Day, there wasnât much to do the
house. So Amanda and Thai focused on the backyard.
Why live on an island and not have a pool?
85. Oddmund was taking a nap so the rest of the family
made use of the new pool.
86. Amanda and Thai left the younger children with Bran
again. A quick stop at Colouriffic for a date, then it was
off to iRobot.
87. Thai got his bronze restocking badge stocking out the toy
robots.
89. Olaf wasnât happy with his hair anymore. So he spent an
hour if front of the mirror before finally deciding on a
new style.
90. Amanda wanted to be a business tycoon more than
anything in the world. And at last Colouriffic was level
10. But there wasnât any job offers.
91. That night was Oddmundâs birthday. His older brotherâs
around offering theyâre support.
92. Oddmund was struck by the dreaded first born disease. He was like Bran in
every way. Amanda didnât want him to miss his chance for being heir. So
she stuck use the sim blender to give him his own personality. Very Neat
and Outing, if a bit lazy. He was playful, if a bit mean sometimes. A little
makeup gave him a slightly different appearance than Bran.
93. Thai came home with a new carpool, no more beat up
junker. He also snagged another promotion. He just
needed to keep this up.
94. Bran waited until his dad was in upstairs before sneaking
out of his room.
âHey Heather, come pick me up.â
âIâll be there in a sec.â
95. Thai came back downstairs to spend time with Oddmund. Toddlers kept the
worse hours. The sound of a car door startled him.
âWhat was that?â He said getting up.
96. âBran!â Thai gasped, âI would have never expected this of you!â
âAw come on Dad, we only went College Club.â
âI would expect this from Delilah but not you and Heather.â Thai kept
his voice low not wanting to wake Amanda. âYouâre grounded, no
phone calls for a week.â
âAww, Dad.â
97. Thai didnât cancel Family Sunday though. Olaf and Odin
didnât need to be punished. He even invited Ponyâs
teenagers. Hopefully giving them sanctioned time
together would keep them from sneaking out.
98. The guests soon arrived. Thai invited Keika and Gabie
over as well. The whole neighborhood was invited.
99. âHey there Delilah.â Bran smiled, he didnât realize how
pretty she was before.
âWhatâs up Bran.â Delilah smiled back, âMom said you
guys got a pool.â
âYeah, we did, want to check it out?â
âSure. Iâll follow you.â
100. Delilah waited for Bran to get inside before seizing the
gnome on the lawn.
âDelilah?â Bran called.
âIâm coming!â Delilah shouted back, tucking the gnome
away in her inventory.
101. The kids made a brunch of sparkle pancakes.
âDoes your mom have any sprinkles?â Rebecca asked, âMom says sprinkles
make everything better.â
âEverything?â Olaf asked in disbelief, âSprinkles donât make grilled cheese
better, Dad says nothing makes grilled cheese better. He says grilled cheese
is perfect.â
âI bet sprinkles would still make it better.â Rebecca insisted.
102. Sprinkles aside, the pool was a hit.
âMarco!â Odin called.
âPolo!!!â Everyone yelled back.
103. Amanda also broke out the Myshuno machine.
âI-eight.â Ambi called.
âI canât find it.â Gabie complain.
âMyshuno!â Olaf squeaked excitedly.
104. âCome on Olaf letâs play something else.â Odin begged.
âAww, I just won.â
105. âHey, Delilah, youâre the prettiest girl on the island.â
Bran stammered, âWould you go on a date with me?â
âYeah, I think I will.â
106. Bran slowly worked up his courage and kissed Delilah on
the lips.
âBran!â Delilah gasped but didnât pull away.
107. The day had been long and eventful. It took a while to
get everybody home and her kids in bed. Amanda sat
down at her computer, still no job offers in business.
108. Bran snuck outside when he heard barking at the door.
âHi there wolffie.â He crooned petting the glowing eyed
creature. âWant to be friends?â

110. So much to say here and only one slide to do it.
Well I didnât expect it to take so long to get another
chapter out. Puppies = no simming time. Luckily
heâs slowly getting better. Lots of things happening
in this chapter even after I cut a few things out.
Bran and Delilah make a good couple, theyâre close
enough in age to stay together. But Iâm not sure I
want to intermarry the families just yet. I guess
weâll wait and see.
A third of the way toward Uni!
Anyway Keikaâs up next ->
