'This is so boring, Dylan. Can't we go
bully Xanthe?'
'No.'
'But-'
'No.'
Welcome back one and...one to Never
Mind the Bee Sting, the Queen Bee Challenge that
invites you to keep your own mean,
unhelpful comments to yourself. Last time
our Queen Beatrix Havar and her first drone Crystal had
four children, Xanthe, Emerald, Dylan and Nolan.
Two more and we're onto the next drone and free of Crystal's
stupidity.
'Cute little Nolan. You won't be as
mean as the others, will you?'
Poor Rootie is over her head with all
these mean sims. Xanthe has the most nice points, with six. Dylan has three and
Emerald is a run away winner with
only one.
Guess who I love the most.
Okay, it's a tie for my favour between
Dylan and Emerald. They're both so cute!
Plus my simself has a soft spot for Dylan.
She calls all the time for him.
'Isn't this totally barbaric?'
I guess. But, like locking sims in
doorless rooms or stealing their pool
ladders, it's not something I'm likely to ever stop doing.
Rootie is a really good mother. Not
surprising really, given how many
younger siblings she has.
Emerald is her favourite. Both of them are almost
always on the beach, building sandcastles and sunbathing etc.
It's nice.
Better than Xanthe, anyway.
'Dylan, as my little brother it is your
duty to serve me. I am your queen and if this challenge had an heir, it would be
me.'
'Don't forget who rocks the mean
points around here. Plus, I'm a nerd, and
can kick your ass with Maths as well
as cruelty.'
I love him!
'Huh?'
Whoops. Seems that Crystal got preggers
this time. I didn't mean for that to
happen.
Oh wells. Rootie could use a break.
See?
Poor little thing. Lack of sunlight.
Feeling better now?
'I guess. And happy that I can wear my
swimsuit without looking like a
beached whale.'
That would be a plus.
I have never seen a kid do this before, but lo and behold
the other day I was waiting for Emerald
and she did this.
So freaking cool!
This is possibly the best part of the
challenge, when compared to the 26
pregnancy challenge; in the Queen Bee
there is no pressure to make the kids skill
all the time. They can just be kids.
It's nice.
Though the girls are more into it than
Dylan...
...who would still rather skill. He is a
total nerd.
But that's okay. Because he's cute.
'Sup Crystal.
'I had the craziest dream that I was
pregnant and part of some sadistic
challenge.'
Look down.
'AHHH!'
Good morning, by the way.
Great. Is there a headmaster in my game who is not a
pervert?
Anyways, Dylan and Emerald got in,
which was good, because that pirate
guy, who I usually love, was creeping me out more than
the guy with the mancrush on Klaus.
*sigh*
Must we really have to do this every dew
days?
So, he's baldish and in a tux. WTF?
To the Banana Republic!
Sorry, I was watching the episode of The
Simpsons with NSync in it as I played. That
is my fav episode ever.
Okay, he's cute.
And a personality clone of Emerald.
He's cute and mean! *fans self*
I luffs him. Not as much as the twins,
but more than Xanthe.
Speaking of Xanthe...
'Listen, kid. I rule this house. Okay? I'm a
freaking princess, and what I say goes.
Got that?'
'If you talk to me again, I will kick you
in the face.'
'Wh...what?'
'You heard me. I have one nice point
and will use it to send you to the
bottom of the beach sediment. Now leave
me.'
Go Nolan.
'Huh?'
Just another bump, Crystal. Don't worry
your pretty little head about it.
Idiot.
'What? You finally found Fanta? Thank
God! We've been missing him for
almost half a chapter!'
Yay! He's back. I still haven't forgiven
Tango for chasing him away.
Everyone, this is Merlin.
He is so cute.
I love Merlin.
Yeah, so he is likely to be drone two, so I
had Rootie get her relationship with him
romantic.
Then I hit an issue. I assumed that Crystal was already at work
when I had Rootie flirt. However,
Crystal was in the process of driving to work, caught Rootie
and all hell broke loose.
I suck so much.
But at least Fanta is back.
Oh yay.
Crap.
They're now in love. It's cute. So as soon as the last two kids are out, Merlin had
move in and more kidlets can be made.
And I don't think either party are
against that fate.
'Shh Alice. I'm scoring here.'
Sorry Merlin.
Nolan, being the only other sim at
home, is now furious at Rootie.
But still demands huggles.
'I'm a complex being.'
You can say that again, little guy.
'What's this Alice?'
I got bored of the green. Prepare to be
human again!
'Hmm...it tastes like sunshine and
dandelion seeds.'
That's great, Rootie, but hurry this up.
I've got other sim's lives to ruin today,
you know.
'Ack! Oh the-'
The pain, the pain! Yes, yes, we've read it all before. Please,
hurry this up. I'm getting bored and
we know what happens when I get
bored. Can we all say "neighbourhood
deleation"?
'I'm home! I didn't get promoted and
my wife cheated on me, but isn't it good
to be alive?'
We are two very different people, you
know that, Crystal?
Hmm...I has an idea. I could have Rootie grovel to bring the
relationship back up, or I could leave it low, feed Crystal
cheesecake and be out of this whole
mess easily.
What to do, what to do...
'Dylan! I want to play!'
'I'm creating here, Emerald. Go annoy
someone else!'
The twins are so close, but so
different. Crystal's all active and water
balloon throwing, and Dylan's a skilling
machine.
Rootie tries to redeem herself in
the eyes of her son by teaching Nolan his toddler skills.
'Mummy a bad, bad lady.'
'Now then, Nolan-'
'No worries. I like that.'
Sweet little evil kid.
'OWWWWWW!!! This hurts more than falling off the top of the human pyramid
at cheerleading practice!'
I'm sure it does. Now spin, twirl and we can all go back to
doing more important things.
It's twins! But no cheesecake. I
checked and she was already pregnant
with twins, so all is chill. Doesn't matter,
really, as I'm not playing for points,
but it's nice to know.
Both boys, both brown hair, both skin
tone three, both with Rootie's blue
eyes that she inherited from her
father.
This is Nathaniel, a name that I am
obsessed by and overuse, and his
brother is called Leo.
Nice.
'Look, a star to show my greatness.
Pretty!’
He looks so much like Crystal at this
moment, it's scary.
Quick, kid! Go skill before you loose
brain cells!
Time for Xanthe to get bigger.
'And I want a castle, and a pony, and a
car, and a prince to marry and a-'
Kick up the arse?
'No!'
Shame. I would happily give you that
one.
Not to flame her ego anymore, but isn't
she cute?
'I know, right?'
She's a Pleasure sim, her LTW doesn't matter and she's really pretty. I'm
surprised. But she did grow into her
chin a bit more. It's no longer scary.
Poor Nolan. Does he really need an
audience to his potty time?
'Ewww! Nolan made a stinky!'
'Dylan, you're such a doof! What else
would he be doing?'
'Oh...yeah!'
Oh, Dylan. What happened to you?
Even more shocking than Dylan's
decreasing brain power is this; Xanthe
taking care of her baby brothers
without being told.
'Babies are like so cute!'
Closet family sim! The horror!
Grrr. ACR spoilt my plans. These two got
their relationship back up all on their
own.
Annoying!
But sweet. It was nasty having them
mad at each other.
'So, Nolan, I'm all big now. Still disputing
my rule over the house?'
'I've seen you with the stinky twins.
You're no threat to me.'
'MUM! Nolan's being mean to me!'
'Little busy here, Xanthe. Did you see
where the butler hid Leo?'
Every time, Jerry?
'I want a baby that stays as a baby for a while! Not one that changes into a child
within hours!'
Poor thing. Never gunna happen.
MOAR BUFFDAY!!!
Nolan, Nathaniel and Leo!
Here's Nolan.
'Sup.'
Isn't he the cutest thing since sliced
bread.
'Are we done? I have people to threaten,
deal to make and abuse. That kinda
thing.'
By all means, go.
This is...umm...I've forgotten. Wait, this
is Leo. He's cute, in a chipmunk kinda way.
And here's Nathaniel. He's got
the Havar mouth thing going on, but it
cute despite that.
Xanthe? What are you doing? Why
aren't you out chatting up boys and
jumping on sofas?
'Nathaniel needs hugging.'
*sigh* She is the worst Pleasure sim ever. Where's that annoying princess
attitude now? Hmm?
'He's so cute!'
Idiot.
But Nathaniel is rather cute. Not as
cute as the other Nathaniels I have in
my game, but few sims are as cute as
them. Very few people will
understand that last bit, but whatevers.
Meanwhile, outside, Crystal comes up
with a genius ploy to get more time with
Rootie.
'If I don't have six kids, I don't have to
leave. So I will throw them off the lot and
voila!'
If you're going to even try that, I don't
recommend using my favourite. Leo's
boring. Throw him.
Another LTW done. Now she wants to
become a Media Magnet, and, of
course, as is my luck that job refused to
come up. Ever.
Grrr.
Neither of the new twins have much of a
personality, and since they're leaving in a few days I'm too
lazy to write them one.
Their one defining feature; they're
stoopid as Crystal. Great.
Ewww.
Rootie gotted all fat.
'You try having six kids.'
You only had four of them.
'And your point is? I'm allowed a bit of
baby weight!'
No. Now pump it! PUMP IT PUMP IT
PUMP IT!!!
'Hey, Emerald. Mind leaving. Your mother
and I need some special time.'
'No. I'm staying here because I know it
will annoy you.'
I do love Emerald. So much.
After getting Fanta back again (yes, he
ran away for a second time) I
decided to get rid of both cats. They were
way too much hassle.
To get her on the right (and winning) path (Pleasure and
Romance sims FTW), I have Xanthe ask for a date. I shell out the full amount, because Rootie is loaded and
I'm nice.
And this is what we get?!?!?! They have negative chemistry and he looks like a
beaten baboon!
I demand a refund!
'Xanthe? Why does your boyfriend look like that poo eating
gorilla we saw at the zoo the other day?'
'He's not my boyfriend!'
'But he does look like a poo gorilla.'
'Yes, he does. Thanks for pointing it out,
Nolan.'
'A pleasure.'
I love him!
Xanthe isn't the only one making friends.
Emerald brought one of her aunts home
from school.
'It's so messed up that I'm older than
my aunts and uncles.'
That's just how things work around
here.
Here's Harley, Rootie's youngest
sibling (other than an alien called
Hydrus who barely counts) and one of
triplets. She's rather cute, huh?
'Duh.'
She's also rather shallow.
'I can't believe that a hottie like you would
go on a date with me.'
'Trust me, I never agreed to this. In fact, I'm debating
smashing your face in at the moment,
but that would require contact, so
maybe not.'
Poor Xanthe.
Nice outfit, Rootie.
'I hate being a Criminal
Mastermind. Do I look evil to you?'
I would actually expect you to turn
yourself in. Well, as soon as Journalism
comes up, you're out of the crime
business, hopefully forever. It suits you like a potato sack.
'Listen. I never agreed to go on a
date with you, and if you touch me with
those banana peelers again, I will let Nolan kill you!'
'YAY!'
'Shh Nolan.'
Oooh...*pops pop corn* Seems the old
Xanthe is re-emerging.
Emerald?
'As an evil genius I have to keep in prime physical
condition.'
By jumping on the bed?
'It's not like you have any gym equipment
for kids.'
Just don't do that for too long. Last thing I
need is you guys being taken away because you got
overheated.
Poor Nathaniel.
'Want screen time.'
You get more than Leo. That's
something, right?
'No.'
Well, grow a personality and we'll
talk.
'Alice?'
Nolan.
'How much would you pay me to drink
these bubbles?'
I wouldn't pay you.
'Did I hear fifty quid? Okay then.'
Grr.
Oh, and a quid is slang for pound, the
English currency. Just in case you didn't
know that.
'It tastes like pain!'
Serves you right.
Ooooh, poor little guy. Here take my
wallet.
'Sucker.'
HEY! That's the last time I care about any
of you.
Since I'm bored waiting for both sets of twins to grow up later today, I invite
over Harley and her brothers. The pale
one is Heath and the other one is Harry.
Now for an epic water balloon fight!
Even Dylan joined in.
And yes, that monkey guy Xanthe
had that one disastrous date with
is still here. WTH is up with him?
And now it's birthday time.
You'll see them all grown up at the very end, so let's get this
show on the road.
First Emerald.
'It tickles!'
Yes.
Then Leo.
'I'm so tall.'
Shhh!
Next it's Dylan.
'The sparkles match my jammies.'
That's nice, kid.
And, finally, little Nathaniel.
So here they are, Crystal and her
brood.
L-R, B-F it's;
Dylan, Cystal, Xanthe, Emerald,
Nathaniel, Nolan and Leo.
So, now for the divorce. We invite
Merlin over, he and Rootie flirt, slapping
ensues, all the kids get pissed off and,
short and short, Crystal and the kids
leave.
YAY!
Okay, this about broke my heart.
I now hate myself for breaking up this
happy family.
Oh wells. On with the show before
people start to think I have emotions.
'Though I don't look it, I'm really sad.'
Me too, Root.
Well, that's it for now. Join us next
time for Merlin's ride of the pony, and more cute kids (I
hope).
