The document introduces the Summers brothers, David and Samuel, who have moved to the small town of Veda. David wants to be an architect while Samuel works on getting electricity set up in Veda. Samuel is studying circuits and power lines while David checks job listings. Gretchen visits David and they share a kiss. Samuel earns an A on an exam through his extra studying. David is disappointed there are still no job openings listed. Gretchen agrees to move in with David and Samuel after connecting with David. Samuel continues his studies on electricity as he works towards getting power set up in Veda.

1. Week 1
Summers

2. Hello! Welcome back to the tiny town of Veda.
We’re at our second house with the Summers
brothers. David and Samuel. David has been
responsible for his younger brother since their
parents’ deaths. David has always wanted to be
an architect and now has his chance. Samuel
wants to be a Captain Hero, but also is taking a
stab at getting electricity for Veda.

3. “Isn’t that Amber lady planting a garden?”
Samuel asked.
“Yeah, but it’s always good to have a fail safe.”
Samuel nodded, but internally rolled his eyes.
David always had a fail safe. He wondered
what was the fail safe if Veda was a failed
venture.

4. Samuel sat down and started his work.
This was his chance as much as his older
brother’s. Back home he had been in a lot
trouble. Stealing, sneaking out, and
skipping school. He partially blamed
himself for David wanting to move out
into the middle of nowhere.

5. David checked the paper hoping for an
opening as an architect. He had seen a
firm in the nearby Pine Grove. If he had
any luck they would have an opening.

6. Darkness fell. David could hardly contain
his excitement. Joyce had gotten him a
telescope. He couldn’t wait to finally use
it.

7. In the wee hours of the morning David tore
himself away from the telescope and
headed to bed.

8. Samuel sat on the bench blinking in the
bright sunlight. David had kept him
awake late by muttering into the
telescope. He hadn’t seen his brother so
excited.

9. David yawned too through his early
morning chores. Including looking for a
job opening. Still nothing. He was
beginning to think Pine Grove had made
him and Joyce empty promises. But at
least the school bus was running.

10. Samuel was determined to show his
dedication to his task. He managed to
squeeze in learning another mechanical
point.

11. He convinced his science teacher to give
him some extra work. “David can you help
me with this?”
“Sure, actually doing some homework for
once?”
“Shut up.” Samuel said without venom.

12. “How’s it coming?” David asked.
“Learning about circuits.” Samuel replied,
“Powerlines are going to be expensive,
we’re going to need miles of cables.”
“Let me and Joyce worry about the money.”

13. David left his brother to his studies. Just
in time to meet Gretchen walking by.
“Hello.” She smiled.
“Hi.” He replied. She had to be the one.

14. “What brings you out here?” He asked,
“It’s dangerous after dark.”
“Not with you here.” She smiled.

15. He heart hammered in his chest, but he
took his chance. She kissed back!

16. Gretchen had to leave. He returned to his
telescope. He couldn’t sleep after meeting
her. Hopefully she would come by again.
He wished more than anything for a phone
to call her.

17. Samuel carefully unwrapped the paper.
He left out a sigh of relief, an A. All the
extra credit was paying off.

18. David sighed, it was Friday, but there was
still no opening in the paper. Looks like
they were going to be camping a little
longer than he thought.

19. He picked up Samuel’s books. There was
no use twiddling his thumbs. He could be
learning something at least.

20. Friday evening was spent skilling. Samuel
was learning massive amounts about
setting up the electricity. His teacher
even lent him a new book on capacitors.

21. The tomatoes were finally starting to
ripen.
“I probably should have left this to
Amber.” David whispered. They weren’t
exactly the best tomatoes.

22. After a week a study, Samuel finally felt
like he master the innerworkings of
electricity and power. Now he just had to
figure out how to bring it all together.

23. After a good night’s sleep. It was time for
the next part. Bringing it all together. He
used his brother’s telescope to check out
the best places to put powerlines.

24. David had his own surprise as he went to
pay this week’s taxes.
“Gretchen! I was hoping you’d come
back.”
“Sorry it took so long, I got caught up at
work.”

25. “I wouldn’t stay away. I love it out here.”
she smiled, “Especially love it here with
you.”
“Well then stay, move in with me and
Samuel.”

26. “You know what, I think I will. Screw
being a hostess. I’ll move out here with
you.”

27. Kaylynn brought her work table with her.
She wanted to be a mad scientist. But
she needed a gold robotics badge to
qualify in Pine Grove.

28. Later that evening Kaylynn and David got
to know each other better in a new tent.

29. That’s for this chapter. Thank you so much
reading. Samuel finished the mechanical skill
requirement for electricity. He’s well on the
way for meeting the logic requirement. I was
hoping he would finish this chapter. But it
looks like we’re in the dark for a little longer.
Hopefully the Linden family will have better
luck with the plumbing and water lines.
They’re up next.
Happy Simming!
