Welcome back to the Night Legacy! In the last chapter, Drusilla grew into a teen, Celestia’s hair

turned pink, Marceline grew into a child, Lestat met a mysterious girl, and Drusilla went out for

her first night on the town!

In this chapter, we begin with the very pink Celestia studying her magic book.

The very green Marceline is thinking about her dad.

“My dad rocks.”

Thankfully, you have a better relationship with your father than your namesake.

“Ha! Another snowman! This one’s name is Crowley!”

Meanwhile, at the front of the house, Keika’s Vesuvius White is stealing the paper.

“Ha! Stealing the newspaper! So evil!”

“Hey, you get back here! That’s our paper!”

“What have you got there, Max?”

“I...think he left us a tip.”

“I’m telling you! She just showed up and then she disappeared!”

“Yeah, right!”

“It’s true!”

“Lestat, stop making stuff up and play the game! I’m gonna kick your butt!”

“Oh, you’re going down, Marcy!”

Oh, no, is that Crowley? Who destroyed Crowley? I hope it wasn’t Vis! Destroying a child’s

snowman really is evil!

MARSHA! NO! GO AWAY!

“Why? I didn’t do anything!”

Oh, but you will! You will...! BEGONE!

Lila and Jess have been spending their senior years constantly together. They flirt and dance and

cuddle. They make a lovely old couple.

“Tom, get out of the way! I can’t see the screen!”

“Go, Marceline! You are the greatest!”

“Marceline!”

“Heeheehehee!”

“Mom! Marceline’s cheating!”

“Marcy, cheating is bad. Now, I’m trying to study.”

Grade A parenting, Cel.

But enough of Cel being a lazy parent, we have another birthday!

“Yay! I can’t wait to be a teenager!”

Dru, why are you in your pajamas?

“Snow day.”

Ah.

Lila, you too? Or were you just sleeping? Oh, well, let’s spin and see what we’ve got!

“Oh, wow, I’m hot!”

How can you tell with your eyes closed?

Well, I wouldn’t say hot, but you’re definitely not bad at all. You’re a very good mix of your

parents, though I think you’re mostly Max.

Lestat is a Family/Popularity sim who wants to be an Education Minister when he grows up. I

realize I forgot Dru’s aspirations, but I will name hers and Marcy’s when they go to college.

Hey, Jess.

“Hey.”

It’s getting towards the end, isn’t it?

“Yeah.”

I just wanted to say...you’ve been an awesome sim. I don’t regret choosing you as co-founder.

“Thanks. I don’t either.”

Lestat is following in his uncle’s footsteps and becoming a drummer. Tom and Marcy decided to

dance along. Let me tell you, kids dancing is the most adorable thing ever.

Marcy, it’s freezing outside! What are you doing in those clothes?

“Lestat’s a teen now! He’s bigger and stronger than me! I have to even the playing field!”

Well, as long as you’re having fun.

Jess and Lila are spending all the time they can together, Cel is hobby idling, I think Max is

helping one of the kids with the telescope, Tom is off, and Marcy is going to get a bath.

All-in-all, an ordinary night for the Night family.

Marcy, what are you doing?

“You’ve outlived your usefulness, Dante!”

“*battle cry*”

“That was fun!”

“And this is what I’ll do to Lestat if he tries to noogie me!”

“*battle cry*”

“Ha! Take that, Lestat!”

Well, at least we know now that Vis is innocent.

Wow, no snow day?

“No. *sigh* It’s not fair.”

Well, you have to go to school sometime.

“I guess. At least I’m awesome.”

Always a silver lining!

I think Jess is trying to Smustle in this picture. Either that or she’s remembering her cat burglar

days. We may never know.

“This painting sucks!”

She also hates Celestia’s work.

“Mama, Jessica hates my painting!”

“That’s too bad, dear. Need to concentrate!”

At least Lila always has time for her wife.

“I totally dissed Celestia’s painting.”

“I know. I saw.”

You guys are kind of awful.

“Teen homework sucks!”

Too bad, Lestat. You have to do it.

“You suck!”

Get back to work.

It’s nearing the end. Jess decides to go out playing the bass with Dru.

“Yes! A+!”

“Dad! Dad, look at my report card!”

“Mm-hm, that’s nice, dear.”

Max! You’re usually the good parent!

Marcy also brought Clark home. Celestia’s at work, so they’re free to rock out.

“*sigh*”

Hey, Lila. How ya doin’?

“It’s tonight, isn’t it?”

Yeah.

“I’m not looking forward to it.”

I don’t think any of us are.

Almost six.

“Jessica, I just wanted to say...it’s been an honor to know you.”

“Thanks, Max. Ditto. Celestia couldn’t have done better.”

“Thanks. I appreciate it.”

Wait a minute.

Merry, what are you doing out of the dungeon?

“You have no control over me off the lot.”

It figures. The moment there’s death on the legacy lot, Merry appears.

Latimeria “Merry” White is from Keika’s White Legacy.

“Hi, I’m Drusilla!”

“Merry. Charmed.”

Dru, no! She’s evil!

“Wait, what?”

“Hmph! Like you know anything.”

R.I.P. Jessica Night.

I actually missed Jess’s death. Six o’ clock rolled around and Jess’s tab didn’t disappear and

Grimmy didn’t appear. I figured it was just a day early and went to go see what was happening

out front. It turned out to be a glitch and by the time I noticed her tab was missing, the whole

thing was over.

Oops.

Jess...what to say about you?

When I started, I thought Ben Long would be my co-founder, but then, literally by chance, I got

a burglar instead. You didn’t have the recessive genes I wanted, but I could not be happier with

the kids you helped make, even Orion. Sorry Luna wasn’t heir, but she is still an awesome sim

and so were you. You were a lot of fun to play. Rest in peace.

And so, alone in the snow, Jess’s grave starts the family graveyard.

I’m gonna miss her.

“Hello? Are you even listening to me?!”

“Um, one of my grandmothers just died...”

“So?”

Stay classy, Merry.

Lila, you okay?

“My wife just died and nobody noticed! Not even you!”

I’m so sorry about that. It was an accident.

“I don’t care!”

I’ll just leave you alone...

“Please, don’t cry, Grandma Lila. I’m so sorry about Grandma Jessica. I’m going to miss her.”

“Oh, thank you, Lestat. You’re such a good boy.”

“So, sorry about your wife being dead and stuff.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“I mean, you’re pretty old, so you’re probably not long for this world yourself, but still.”

Dammit, Merry!

“What?”

“Not cool!”

“What did I do?”

“You have insulted the matriarch of this house. You should leave. Now.”

“Bite me, Wall-E.”

Dru, you’re leaving?

“Yeah. I think it’s time. Lestat’s a teenager, so he can help look after Marcy. They don’t need

me.”

I guess that’s true. Still, I’m going to miss having you around the house.

“Yeah, I’ll miss everyone too.”

“*sniff* Jess is gone and now, Drusilla is leaving. Can this night get any worse?”

It’s just time for her to grow up, Lila. It’s a natural part of Sim life.

“I suppose you’re right.”

“Look, Sparky, I ain’t leaving!”

Merry, go away.

“Goodbye, Drusilla! Have a good semester and be sure to take care of yourself!”

“Thanks, Grandma Lila.”

“Ha! Now, I’m the oldest kid in the house!”

“Don’t let it go to your head, Lestat.”

And so, on a cold winter’s night, Drusilla Night set off for college.

“Drusilla, wait! Keep warm, don’t forget to study, and be sure to get enough to eat! Your mother

and I love you!”

“Love you too, Max!”

“So, do you think she’ll become a doctor?”

“That girl could probably be anything if she put her mind to it.”

“I’m gonna be a monster hunter!”

“Pfft, sure you are, Marcy.”

“Shut up, Lestat!”

“Ugh, that Max is so boring. Why would anyone marry him?”

“I don’t like you.”

“Oh, no, whatever shall I do? Scram, pipsqueak!”

“Someday, lady. Someday.”

“I’m home! Mom? Jessica? Max? Kids?”

Um, Cel, there’s something you should know.

“...What did I miss?”

“So. I heard you insulted my mother and most of my family.”

“Why does everyone keep acting like I did? I told her I’m sorry her wife was dead and that she’ll

probably join her soon anyway. It’s not my fault everyone got their panties in a twist over it!”

“Get out.”

And that’s Chapter 9! Yay!

What will happen next chapter? Will Marceline grow up into a teenager? Will Lestat see his

mystery girl again? Will I write the chapter within a reasonable time-frame? These questions will

probably be answered in the next chapter of the Night Legacy! See you then!
