Told by the Simgod.

This is long overdue, and I am speaking in the past. We start this episode with our dear Blue.

She was not feeling happy (what’s new) because she just lost a hot dog eating contest to Sirus Flake.

“Damn it! I wanted to win a year’s supply of hot dogs!!”

“Dammit, Sirus! Watching you engorge on those hot dogs made me frikkin’ sick to my stomach!”

Blue needed to cheer up, so I suggested she give her school friend Freddy Conrad a call.

“Hey Freddy. I heard you had your birthday. D’ya wanna come over?”

Freddy grew up and— woa, he changed dramatically. (Yeah, no pudding boyfriends allowed here.) He is also a vamp.

It was mutual attraction. *bling bling! pink hearts!*

Freddy: “My favorite color is blue… and your name is Blue and you’re wearing a blue shirt. So that’s cool, right?”

They hung out and played pool downstairs.

“I can beat your ass at pool. Just watch me!”

“Yeah, yeah, you think so.”

“I told ya! I am teh awesome at games!”

“You are!”

“I really like that in a girl.”

Freddy’s smile…

…makes Blue smile.

And she and I are okay with them being a couple even though he is a vampire. Just don’t infect the rest of us!

Then it was time for the twins’ birthdays!

Of course we had a backyard party, with balloons in the twins’ favorite color, aqua. Both being hydrophobic, that is kind of an odd coincidence.

First Salem’s turn.

He does his little turn during the sparkles.

And a very confused gaze upon entering childhood.

Along with Hydrophobic and Slob, he gained Inappropriate. Oh boy.

Then Kale’s turn.

“I b’wow, Daddy?”

Salem, stop laughing at your brother!

Yeah… Kale does not know how to hold a piece of cake.

He has his daddy’s eyes and mommy’s nose (in male form). Along with Hydrophobic and Clumsy, he gained Shy. Well, that’s not so bad I guess. Might be kind of endearing.

Since Jemma was moved out, Blue had taken over Jemma’s room.

The boys are sharing Grayson’s room downstairs. Grayson was living elsewhere and off checking out University campuses — in the meantime, taking a career in the sciences.

Guess what! Willow is back!!

Yeah. Willow died, if you may remember. But she had a bit of a transformation. A pet sematary type thing, so to speak. A tad bit scary, even.

I used Nraas to reincarnate her as a ghost. Got a little freaked out and sent her back to the grave again. (Thinking about Stephen King’s Pet Sematary and hearing that spooky ghost-cat meow…)  But I still missed her and ‘debug enabled’ her again. She now lives as a wandering ghost-cat. Her home is technically still the Watley estate (shows in the portrait panel), but she wanders throughout town and is rarely found home.

When “we” first reincarnated her we eventually found her downtown — coincidentally darting almost in the path of Tegan driving the family Focus. 

Go home, Willow! Mamma wants to see you!!!

She ran all the way from center city to our big house up over the hill.

Past Meowingtons the cat, who is getting old now (eek!).

There she is!! Come on, run to Mamma!

My baby has returned home! It’s a glorious day! The hills are alive!

Hey, where you going?!

She made it home just as the little boys were heading to school.

No Salem, we’re not kitting you. The cat came back.

Ghost-Willow gets her treats!

Spring has sprung, and love is in the air all around.

‘Cause, can you believe – Aubrey has found love! With none other than Hayes Rocha!! Well then. I didn’t know he swung that way…. towards robots, and boy robots at that.

But they seem happy! They soon settled into a little house together, to live long and prosper.

Grayson is back home for a while. He really got into Breaking Bad during the finale and season recap marathon. Here he is sporting his Walter White glasses and hat. He even grew some facial hair! Wow! I didn’t know he could grow hair on his face!

Dude. Really, you think that’s sexy?

“You know it! The girls will love it.”

You wish. If you could find a girl.

And that’s it for now. What, were you expecting more babies?
