The Dream

With the twin’s now toddlers and her parents busy with the boys, Faith drifted into herself and found her imagination. She loved her new pony, Ariel, and would pretend to be a cowgirl or a princess with her noble steed. Her serious disposition fooled no one. She may not be the youngest kid in the house, getting all of the attention, but she was certainly a very happy girl.


When the boys came home, the family had a ton of leftovers. Chocolate cake works as breakfast, too, doesn’t it?

Faith never missed an opportunity to hang out with her mother any chance she got, which was usually around dinner time after school.


Meanwhile, Danielle was able to find some time to steal away in the library to work on her political memoirs. She had been in office for almost thirty years and after having accomplished a major goal (to better relations between Sims and vampires in Sunset Valley) she felt the time was right to write the book in the hopes that other communities may benefit from her experience as a leader.


Elizabeth and Timmothy had their hands full with their youngest four. The boys didn’t command too much attention, but were fussy, much to the dismay of older sister Francesca, who demanded attention every moment she could. They had many sleepless nights caring for the kids, but as tired as they may be, they were enjoying it…. Usually at nap time and bed time.


And then there was the laundry. So. Much. Laundry. Babies and toddlers go through so much laundry, plus a little girl running around outside with her new pony on top of all of the usual laundry. Eventually, the machine would go on the fritz, adding yet another to-do on Timmothy’s lengthening list of honey-do’s.


The three adults really stayed busy taking care of all of the little ones and tried to ensure no one felt neglected. Plus, it was fun to help them learn and watch them grow.


Faith was usually outside with Ariel when she wasn’t at school. They’re favorite game to play lately had been Princess and the Pony and were usually playing by the flowers in the family cemetery. As macabre as it may sound, it was really the perfect spot to pretend to be in a forest.


It seemed while she was out playing, she woke Narcissa, who came inside to formally introduce herself to Her Majesty, Lady Faith.


Narcissa adored the little girl, so naturally she’d oblige her request for a bedtime story, since everyone else was busy getting both sets of twins ready for bed. She picked an old book and sat at her bed to read.


 



That night, Faith dreamt of a beautiful princess in her castle.



The Princess spoke to the people and they told her they needed her help.



So she went to the forest to help her people find wood to build their homes and buildings.



When suddenly a robber jumped out from the brush and attacked the princess.



But the princess was more skilled and beat the robber and saved the people.




There’s never a dull a moment in the Leday house these days. Whatever will happen next? Only the next chapter will tell!
