Gnome of Doom

The girls got along well enough as children but they didn't spend all that much time together. Occasionally they'd play with the football Alexander obtained during a concert, (I don't know why, but someone threw one on the stage), or watch television together. Julie, admittedly, found her sister to be a bit strange. Not just because she was a witch either since her mother seemed perfectly fine.



"Oh, no, no, no... We're not watching that channel. They brainwash you in to learning new things. Did you know that? It's all in their smiling faces."


Julie slowly looked over at her sister. "You are down right paranoid, you know that?"


One night the full moon came about, as it often does. Everything seemed to be normal, ghost dog outside, zombie in the yard. But wait... What is that...?


What in the Simverse is THAT unholy creation!? That has got to be the most frightening gnome I have ever seen! Quick! Sell it before the children are scared for life!


Luckily, terrifying gnomes weren't the only happenings going on around town. Alexander had gotten a gig down at a private venue. If he keeps it up, he'll be at the big stadium in no time.


Back home, Melanie received yet another baby bump. All she could do is laugh. "I really need better birth control."


A few days later, Belle jumped in to Julie's lap for some petting. "Hey Ami, I think Belle's tummy's getting bigger..." "Shh!... I think I heard something moving in the fridge..."


Melanie noticed this change as well when she went to pick up Belle. "You're starting to gain a little weight there, girl. Not going to have to put you on a diet are we?"


One day while out doing sing-o-grams, Alex spotted a couple of space rocks. He thought they were cool so he put them in his house.


That very same night, strange lights appeared in the sky. But it wasn't Alex who went out to investigate this time. It was a very pregnant Melanie.


"Ahhh! Alex! Somebody! Help me!" Unfortunately Melanie's cries went unheard as everyone in the house was fast asleep.


Soon Melanie was brought back safe and sound. Wait a minute.. Is that...? It is! It's Ukpop! Well she did promise she wouldn't abduct Alex anymore. She didn't say anything about the rest of his family.


Melanie yelled out to the sky as Ukpop left. "Stupid aliens! I swear, if my baby turns out green...!"


The following day, Melanie decided not to tell Alex of the incident. Instead, she focused her attention on Chace's skills as she hoped to get them done before the new baby came around. "That's right! We have a ghost doggy!"


Later in the day, Belle lay down in the living room and began to whine, looking up at Melanie with pleading eyes. Melanie turned around. "What is it girl? Are you feeling alright?"


With a loud whine, this little gal showed up. "Oh! Belle! You had a puppy! I had no idea you were pregnant!" Melanie beamed. "Look at that...! So cute! She looks like Toby!" Later the family decided to name the new little ghost puppy, Daisy. Success! Apparently Toby and Belle just needed to keep trying.


After recovering a bit, Belle went outside to play with her cute newborn pup.


One night, Julie was playing with Belle when her mother let out a cry.


Julie saw her mother starting to go in to labor. She let out a high pitched scream and began to panic. "J-Julie...! Calm down and... call your father!"


Alex came home quickly and drove Melanie down to the hospital where she gave birth to a baby girl named Freya. She was born with the traits Good and Artistic.


Back at the house, Chace was displaying some familiar talents. Looks like we have another witch on our hands.


Pretty soon it was both the twin's birthdays and Melanie's birthday. Ami went first while Julie scowled at the cakes. Why do I never get to go first...?


Pretty. Ami aged up to gain the trait Commitment Issues. Hah!


Next up was Julie.


However, Melanie couldn't seem to wait and aged up on the spot. Nice, way to steal the spot light, mom.


Yeesh, don't worry, we'll fix that hair up soon.


I suppose Julie doesn't look so bad. She aged up with the trait Computer Whiz.


Julie ended up being a great sister. She often played with her baby sister and her only brother. "Who's a cute little baby burrito.. You are!"


Toby had been avoiding Daisy for some reason but once he got to know her, he loved being around her. It was good that they got to know each other and that Toby got to leave his mark.


Because his time had run short. In the middle of the day without much warning, Toby left the Earthly realm once more to finally be at peace. While the family was sad, they knew he had a good life. And they were sure he'd still come to visit.


In the following days came both Freya and Chace's birthday, though on separate days. Julie cheered. "Yay! No more burrito baby!" "Julie!" Melanie scowled.


That hair! I can't escape it! She's otherwise cute and has Melanie's rich, brown eyes. Though yet again, Alex's facial features make an appearance.


A few days later it was Chace's birthday. Melanie and Alex decided to party while the girls were at school to lessen the chaos for once.


He aged up to have the trait Clumsy... Poor boy.


Freya celebrated her big brother's birthday by summoning a toy. Looks like Julie's the odd one out by not being born with any powers.
