Recap: Halloween happened, as well as birthdays, job-hopping, young love, and rejection.

The kids are all dressed up because it’s time for Prom!

Yup, all three are going. Cassiopeia is going by herself, Bertram is going with Tilly, and Barney and Sasha-Ann are going as friends.

Cass is totally pumped to get to dancing.

Each kid had their own unique experience at the prom, but we’ll start with how Cassiopeia’s night went.

The theme this year was Under the Sea, and she fell in love with the decorations. All of the cutout construction paper fish must have just really spoke to her. She cut up the dance floor with her incredible moves, causing a crowd to encircle her and chant her name. By the time she was break-dancing, the principal announced her prom queen. Everyone cheered and she left a trail of flowers behind as she accepted the crown. It wasn’t five minutes later she walked around bragging about getting the title. One classmate of hers (who had never particularly liked her to begin with) told her to shut up. Cass didn’t take that comment well and shoved her against a wall. The classmate was furious and started fighting back, using Cass’s crown as a weapon. The principal and the superintendent broke up the fight, handing each girl detention slips for the rest of the week, and then dismissing them from prom early. Cass got to keep her crown, even though it was kind of bloody.

Bertram and Tilly were inseparable the whole night. The two of them didn’t dance much, they mainly just hung out by the punch bowl and talked. Tilly flashed him several smiles and Bertram tried to hide the fact he was starting to blush. I’m not sure what they talked about… it’s not like Bertram even has a sense of humor… regardless, Tilly enjoyed his company. The only time she left his side was to talk to her friends about voting him prom king. She actually convinced enough of her classmates to vote for him, because he won the crown. Bertram couldn’t figure out how it happened, but he accepted his title enthusiastically before taking Tilly onto the dance floor. He tried giving her ‘the look’ a few times, but his messed-up face didn’t portray it very well. By some miracle, Tilly figured it out anyway and actually kissed him. Bertram’s smile was glued onto his face for the rest of the night, and when prom was over, he bravely asked Tilly if she would be his official girlfriend. She accepted and they held hands in the limo on the way home.

Barney tried his best not to be too eager to be seen with Sasha-Ann. She had been his best friend for so long that it was hard not to find her attractive. He watched her on the dance floor and found himself feeling emotions that were unfamiliar to him. Barney decided that those feelings must be some form of love. He suddenly knew he had to impress her by whatever means necessary. He jumped onto the dance floor and started doing the chicken dance. Sasha-Ann giggled at him before taking him aside and admitting she really did like him a lot. Barney had forgotten all about the last time he tried to make a move on her and admitted he liked her too. Sasha-Ann grabbed his arm and yanked him outside, pointing up at the sky. She claimed a meteorite was on its way to Earth and that he absolutely needed to kiss her right then and there before it hit ground. Barney wasted no time giving her that kiss. When they pulled away from each other, Barney was grinning ear-to-ear. He took the opportunity to ask her to be his girlfriend… but Sasha-Ann declined. Heartbroken, Barney waltzed back into the school and tried to keep to himself for the rest of the night, as it was blatantly obvious his best friend was just toying with his emotions.

Cassiopeia was promptly scolded for getting kicked out of prom, but Auxana was so delighted she won queen that no grounding was enforced.

I forgot to mention Sasha-Ann went to prom dressed as a tiger. That should have been Barney’s first hint that she wasn’t serious with him.

Oh yeah, and Tilly went as a hot dog. I think Auxana got a hold of her before prom and tried to explain how sexy it was to be in that costume.

The next day, Barney invites Sasha-Ann out to have a talk. She still hasn’t changed out of that costume.

He confronts her with all of her misleading actions and explains how heartbroken he was over her rejection.

Sadly, the two fight for a few hours before breaking off their friendship entirely. Poor Barney.

Pretty soon, the twins have another birthday!

Barney isn’t in the best of moods for it, though, as he is upset about Sasha-Ann.

Alright, everyone, here are your second generation possible heirs! (Cassiopeia is a plantsim, and therefore cannot reproduce, so she is out of the running.)

Bertram gains the Handy trait upon aging up and makes the decision to one day become the CEO of a Mega Corporation.

Barney becomes Over Emotional (probably thanks to Sasha-Ann) and wants to be a Star News Anchor.

Conveniently, the Journalism and Business careers are both in the same building, so the twins carpool to it and register for their first jobs.

Bertram makes the decision to teach himself the Charisma skill with the intention of using it to further his career as quickly as possible.

“What’s that you say? You have a really big important project you want me to work on? How thoughtful of you, why yes, I accept.”

“You could not have possibly picked a more capable client to do said project. I mean, look at me, I’m obviously the best choice you have. My facial hair is just divine.”

Barney is instructed to learn the writing skill in order to be a journalist. He starts by taking classes online.

Auxana’s little shack in the corner of the lot is starting to grow. She builds on another section for her children’s memorabilia.

Barney’s portrait is him crying because he wouldn’t freaking stop long enough to pose. Generations to come will look back on that picture and immediately know he is over emotional.

In a desperate attempt to win Sasha-Ann’s friendship back, Barney visits her house. I try to tell him this is going to end poorly, but he ignores my all-knowing advice.

His jaw drops when she answers the door. Looks like she has had a birthday, too.

He tries to talk to her about being friends again and she flips out on him.

“What the hell, Barney?! You yelled at me for leading you on and told me you wanted nothing to do with me anymore! Why in the world would I agree to being your friend again after all that?”

Barney doesn’t know what to say. He is simply a boy in a young adult’s body who is still trying to make sense of his first love. He can tell Sasha-Ann doesn’t want anything to do with him anymore, so he exits the house, returning home.

In less depressing news, Kenji is nearing the end of his crisis. He decides to get a tattoo before it’s over.

He picks a llama… because when you’re going through a midlife crisis, a llama is the perfect way to show what a badass you are…

He comes home and shows Auxana with pride.

Well, he tries to show her. Wrong arm, Kenji.

Then he just randomly throws a rubber duck at her head. I can’t make sense of what prompted him to throw a duck at her head… I’m assuming because he doesn’t want her to get mad, or he’s still trying to capture his inner youth… I don’t know. Does it really mean anything when you throw a duck at someone’s head?

Well, whatever the reason, Auxana laughs and catches it.

The game of duck-catch must have been alluring, because now they are in a heated make-out session.

Kenji is now over his crisis, so we put him in some nicer looking clothes.

Tilly comes over to spend time with Bertram and he bores her to death, so she wanders around the house to pass out behind the mailbox.

Sims are weird…

He sees her like that and then AUTONOMOUSLY breaks up with her! THIS DISPLEASES ME

I will leave you with this wonderful shot of Cass putting out another fire Auxana has caused.

{A Note From Your Pal Mindy: Okay, readers, I am leaving this decision in your hands. Bertram and Barney are up for Gen 2 Heir, and I don’t know who to pick. I’ve got a poll here for you to vote on, and I’m not sure when I’ll end it, probably whenever I get around to playing the Sims. I also promise you the next generation of The Horsley Prettacy will be written a little better. I usually don’t write these until the middle of the night, so I’m not always coherent when typing. Anyway, have fun voting, and thanks for reading!
