Week FourSugar

Welcome back to Silver Bend! It’s finally Gabie’s turn in the rotation. She’s randomly was selected for an ISBI. Which is going to make it harder for her to protect the

magical artifact she was given.

Gabie found herself across the street from Keika’s house. The only thing on the lot was a phone. She sighed, but felt her pocket for the artifact. It was still there, it had

stopped humming like Pony said it would.

First thing she would need was a business. So she picked up the phone and bought a lot.

So Sugar Sugar was born. A musical venue where you could express yourself via song.

“Hey Pony!” Gabie exclaimed. Silver Bend’s founder was one of her very first customers.

“A music venue, I like it.” Pony smiled, “Is it safe?”“You always worry about that thing. Yes it’s safe. I’ve got

it with me.”“Good. Don’t carry it around forever. But that’ll work for

now.”

“One, two, three…” Pony ordered Marylena.Gabie covered her ears, Pony had no talent on the

drums. Marylena wasn’t half bad though.

When darkness fell, an attractive man came by.“Hello, I’m Gabie.” She introduced herself.

“Clarence Philippine.” He smiled back.

They hit off, but right when she was going to ask him on a date he had to go.

“Work waits for no one.” He joked, “Hope to see you again.”

“You too.” Gabie said holding back a sigh.

Gabie let her patrons entertain themselves and set up her tent. Maybe tomorrow Clarence would come back.

Sugar Sugar was lacking a few nice things like walls. But Gabie had everything she needed to survive,

“Thai could you not do that while I’m make food.”“Sorry Gabie.” Thai blushed sheepishly.

She did invest in a few comfy arm chairs.“So nice weather today.” Andrea said idly, “Are you

worried about rain?”“Nah, I’ll have a roof on before that.”

“Hi there.” Gabie waved at her newest guest. He was quite handsome. Clarence hadn’t come back yet either.

“Hi.” Stephan Go smiled, “It’s my first night here, I’m hiking around the Simverse.”

“All that hiking has done wonders for your shoulders.” Gabie said rubbing his shoulders.

“That feels so good.”

She hit it off with Stephan. The sparks flared between them, she stopped worrying about Clarence.

She closed up after Stephan left. She hadn't made much money, but it was a start.

First thing she did once home was call Stephan.“Stephan I think we really hit it off. You should come visit

a couple of days.” Gabie said hurriedly.“Are you asking or telling?” Stephan sounded amused.

“Uh, telling.”“I’ll be there in the morning.”

With Stephan coming, Gabie supposed she needed a house. So digging it was. She managed to find a treasure chest in rather short order. Steve needed to do a better

job of hiding them.

She had enough for a tidy little house. With a bit of room to grow.

Gabie was getting an unexpected shower when the welcome wagon arrived.

“These are awesome sandwiches Gabie.” Linda said with her mouth full.

“You should work out with us sometime Gabie.” Brittany offered.

Gabie got to work on her garden. There’s no way she could manage a large one during this challenge not with taking care of other people. But she would need one to

keep the fridge full.

She finally got to sleep in her own bed in her pajamas instead of in a tent.

Barking woke her up. A little terrier named Sheba was on her porch.

“Aww more puppy.” Gabie cooed.

“You can stay with me Sheba.” Gabie said giving her a treat. She was amazed that the little puppy stuck around

long enough to be adopted.

“Stephan!” Gabie said coming outside to check for him.“I’m here.” He said pulling her close.

They didn’t waste anytime getting acquainted.

“Stephan, I want you to stay here with me.” Gabie said bending down. She opened up a box with the ring.

“You’ve traveled far and wide, but stay here with me.”“As long as we get to go on a vacation from time to

time.”

A/N: I used my one command to have Stephan look for a job. Which was a waste, there wasn’t any of the open

ones available.

Gabie dragged Stephan up to work with her. He started cleaning up right away.

“Thanks babe.” Gabie said gratefully.“No problem.” Stephan said pulling her into a kiss.

It was nice having Stephan helping out. She could keep her aspiration high enough to use the energizer. Though

Stephan preferred just to catch a nap in the tent.

They were able to add a photo booth. Gabie had to admit she had other reasons for the booth.

“Jeremiah was a bullfrog!” Bruce belted out.Despite the constant barrage of bad music, Gabie was

able to slowly add walls to the building. Sugar Sugar was actually starting to look like a real venue.

“And a very good friend of mine” the song continued in the background.

“This is a nice place.” Uma the good witch said, “I love this song.”

“It is kind of catchy.” Gabie admitted.Her and Uma made fast friends while the men sang in

the background.

Finally she was able to get all the walls up. As well as paneled and painted.

She capitalized on the island theme inside. The musical instruments were the focus, but she added a pool table for something else to do.

“Uma, I want you to teach me the ways of the light.” Gabie blurted her friend the second she had a chance.

“Are you sure? I have a feeling that it’s not the right path for you.” Uma asked.

“Okay I don’t. But I’m the torchholder in a ISBI. This will help me take care of my family.”

“You are doing it for the right reason.” Uma smiled empathically. “Alright stand still.”

“Thanks Uma!” Gabie said shrugging her shoulder to get used the robes.

“You shouldn’t thank me, you didn’t want this.” Uma said strangely, “But good luck with your task.”

Gabie plopped her spellbook down in the corner and got to study. She’d need the help of every spell she could

learn.

Pony and Allyn both gave Sugar Sugar stars getting the venue to rank 2 and 3.

Gabie spotted Clarence flirting with Marylena Hamilton. Suddenly she understood why he didn’t come back

before. A tentative plan starting forming in her mind.

Gabie closed up she couldn’t implement her plan here. She made enough money to donate to the Uni Fund.

Though since it was her first season she didn’t have to pay taxes.

Back home Stephan covered the porch in roses. A sign of just how long they were at Sugar Sugar.

She spent the evening studying her spell book. So much to read.

Wednesday morning was wet and gloomy.“Not on my wedding day.” Gabie grumbled setting the

weather to sunny.

She invited the whole neighborhood and a few other friends.

She splurged at little on the wedding arch and set up.

Gabie didn’t delay. She had to marry Stephan before he’s needs dropped. It would be awful to be jilted at the

altar just cause he needed to pee.

“They’re all watching us.” Stephan whispered.

“We’re getting married.” Gabie whispered back. “Stephan will you take me as your lawfully wedded

wife?”“I do.” Stephan smiled, “Do you

take me as your husband?”“I do.” Gabie grinned slipping a ring on his finger. “You may kiss

the bride!”

“Yay! Gabie!” Pony cheered.“What a catch!” Clarence whooped.

“Cut the cake!” Andrea insisted.

Pony stopped Gabie on her way to the cake.“Good job Gabie.” Pony told her.

“Thanks Pony.” Gabie smiled back.

“What flavor did you get?” Stephan asked.Gabie glanced at him out of the corner of her eyes.

“Here!” She said shoving the cake in his mouth.“Mhh.” Stephan gasped. Gabie burst out in laughter.

The guests settled down with their cake. Gabie strengthened her friendships and Stephan made new

ones.

The party was a roof raising success.

“Sorry guys I was a little busy this afternoon.” Gabie apologized to her plants. She didn’t even change before

tending to them.

Stephan relaxed on the bed next to Gabie. He was always been a free spirit traveling the world on a whim.

But here he was settled down and married. What a marvelous new experience.

Gabie woke up with a surprise.“Oh hi baby!” Gabie grinned.

“Stephan we’re pregnant!” Gabie shouted leaping into his arms.

“Oof. I can tell.”

Stephan fell asleep in the recliner. He had been up all night watching her sleep.

Gabie let him sleep. She took the opportunity to practice her magic. Using spells to clean up puddles

was way more fun than mopping.

She invited Clarence over after the bathroom was clean.“Hey Clarence. I saw you and Marylena.” Gabie admitted.

“I love her.” Clarence said confused.“I know, that’s why I want you to move in…and then move out. Then Pony will have to play you. She has a soft spot for Marylena. More than likely you’ll get to be together.”

“Thanks so much!” Clarence replied his voice getting choked up.

Gabie had Clarence eat breakfast before he moved out.

Clarence found a place quickly. There was an empty lot for sale on the other side of town.

Gabie spent a quiet afternoon and evening making regents.

She was woken up during the wee hours of the morning. Her baby was getting bigger.

“Baby you lookin’ good.” Stephan said randomly the next morning.

“Aww.” Gabie smiled, being pregnant was so uncomfortable. It was nice to know her husband still found

her attractive.

Being pregnant didn’t stop her from tending the garden. The tomatoes were coming in nicely.

Stephan kept himself busy with painting. He wanted to help bring in money too. But his options were limited.

“Hey Sheba.” Sheldon said patting her head, “I see you found a cushy new home. No more eating out of

garbage cans for you.”“Bark!” Sheba replied her stub tail wagging as fast as it

could.

Stephan relaxed by his very pregnant wife. He wondered what her dreams were about. He was never good about

remembering his dreams.

“Stephan wake up!” Gabie said jumping out of bed and straight into labor.

Gabie gave birth to a baby girl.“I think I’ll name you Honey.” Gabie said sweetly.

“Here hold her for a second.” Gabie said handing over Honey.

“Hi there baby.” Stephan cooed.

The labor pains came back and Gabie delivered another baby. This time a boy.

“I’ll call you Tiramisu.” Gabie said.

They got a baby swing. Honey seemed to enjoy it, though Tiramisu just wanted to sleep.

Saturday is Reno Day. Gabie forgot to take a before picture. But she liked the improvements.

She added an upstairs for when the twins were older. A secret room for her witch studies and she could hide

Charrie’s magic thing there. Hopefully it would catch her house on fire.

“Thing you go all full.” Stephan said bouncing Honey in his arms, “But we’re gonna let your mom change that

stinky diaper.”

Gabie was digging outside trying to recoup the loss of funds. She was hesitant to leave Stephan alone with the

kids.

Stephan finished his first painting. It wouldn’t sell for much, but every little bit helped.

Sunday Gabie invited Keika with her two girls, Alice and Buri, over.

“Mom there’s nothing to do here.” Alice complained.“Hush, Gabie was very nice to invite us over.”

“Go on in Keika, I’m just finishing up here.” Gabie called plucking another tomato off the vine.

It’s was the twins’ birthday, too bad Keika had to send her girls home early.Tiramisu was up first

Then Honey.

A/N: According to the rules I couldn’t look at the twins’ personality. So we’ll just have to wait and see.

They made a beeline for the activity table.

Sheba curled up on her pillow to watch the kids from safety. It wouldn’t be long until they notice her and insist on snuggles. But she could enjoy peace now.

So Clarence was an unexpected surprise. I saw him and Marylena together and couldn’t resist.

I’m not going to make them do a challenge I have something else in mind.

So no crazy ISBI antics yet. Stephan is overall very tame. He paints and watches Gabie sleep. He helps a little with his kids and makes friends

easily. Hopefully the twins will make things more interesting. If you haven’t figured it out

the naming scheme is sweet things.

So off to the last, but not least, house in the rotation ->
