The Magpie Prettacy - Generation 4.2!

[tigeranne]

Hello! The Magpie Pretties are back! It's the dawn of a new era for them. :) I don't know what I was thinking, believing I could get this out on Monday. Instead you get weekend reading, as in it's going to take you all weekend to read this. x)

I'll tell you when it's half-time, so you can stretch your legs and get a hot-dog.



It's been a while. What happened last time? Nothing very important, I think. The twins, Abigale and Peggy, grew up. Abbie, who is Heir, went man-hunting for one particular guy, but without much luck. Barth was in Aspiration failure a lot, but he managed to get engaged to his romantic interest, Vena. Helena got promoted to astronaut. Yeah, that was pretty much it.


Jennifer: Mooooom!

Helena: Welcome home, baby!

Like I threatened to do, Jennifer got moved in on an indefinite basis. Now to find somewhere she can sleep... x)


Oh hi, William! Is the bliss of True Luvve overriding your dark goffick nature these days?

(He's Riana Starbloom's boyfriend, if you remember.)


Weedy took her husband on a date to her favourite place on earth: The end if it! She much prefers the cool depths of the ocean.

The beginning of this update is rather disjointed and choppy, because I was feeling uninspired due to beginning to sincerely hate their old lot.


Yay, another fight... I didn't even bother to check who were brawling, apparently. If it wasn't Isabel and Alfie, then it was Editha and Peggy.


Weedy: Oh, Francie... You can't go straight from a muscle-less coffee-hut hipster, to a fit troll-maiden, in the span of a day. :-/ Now, please get up before my bladder explodes all over the place.


I sent Abbie to the Hangout, in order to spy for Chester. She spent a day there, playing the grand piano and socializing with random people, when suddenly I remembered something very obvious: Jennifer knew Chester! She could just call him and have him come over.


Oh. I see... :(


The Llama King? I suppose the Llama Queen has a husband. Oh well, go for the iron giant. Scrap metal pays well. (Not that the Magpies really need it, but...)


Well, you can see their new house in the teaser. It's going to cost a few pennies to furnish that baby.


Smustle like it's 2004!


Looks like Chester changed his mind. :D


Chester: So, uh... Hi, girl I met once, a couple of years* ago. Why did you call me now? Didn't you say you were married, or something?

Jennifer: Oh, I was. But this isn't about me. I have this cousin, or whatever she is, who is looking for The One. And he sounds an awful lot like you. Soooo... wanna meet her?

*It would seem like a couple of years to Chester, who's been unstuck in time. The seasons have turned around twice since then, I think.


Abbie: You ARE him! You really are THE ONE! They told me I would know the moment I saw you!

Chester: That's... very flattering, actually! *blush*


Meanwhile, Abbie's dad was having a world-class crisis at work.


At least this time he gained a point. You know, the one he lost last time he got that exact chance card. Back to Abbie, and her romantic progress.


Their first meeting was pretty awkward, and shy, and adorable. It took some time for them to get over that initial barrier.


However, when you get to the backrub-stage, you know it's going well.


LUUUV!


Weedy: Why are you wearing my clothes?

Jennifer: Oh, eh... Mom said I had to dress like a folk-singer because of some generational theme. And it's not like you're wearing this style of clothing anymore, so...

Weedy: Hmmpf! I'll be keeping an eye on you!


That's a remarkably resistant snowman.


I suppose the LQ is mad that they picked on her boyfriend.


At one point I do actually pick the power plant. You'll see what happens. :P


Abbie called Chester up for a date, and romance started blooming again. :) They were totally made for each other. I guess that's not much of a surprise.


And Abbie finally got her coveted First Kiss, with 8000 shiny Aspiration points attached.


They even got engaged before the day was over. Then it was back home to plan a wedding.


At least the bride is wearing a white dress for once!


Abbie: I, Abigale Mahara Magpie, take Thee, Chester Sebastian Gieke...


It's not a Magpie wedding if the guests find their seats in time!


That's not even half of the current household showing up to their current Head of House's wedding. To be fair, some of them were at work. Elys' formal wear is epic.


Heads up for those who want poor spouses, Chester is not one.


He's got bit of a single-target sexuality, though. :)


Abbie: And we're going to buy them a lot of educational toys, so they can start developing their skills while they're still at that curious stage, and...

Chester: *PERFORMANCE ANXIETY*


Editha: BAWWWW HAWWWW IT'S NOT MYYYYYYYYYYY WEDDIIIIIING!


I let Alfie retire. He's served his public well, for at least seven decades.


After a couple of nights sleeping outside, Jen finally got a bed in the house. I removed the secondary kitchen, because it only caused the butler a whole lot of walking. The nook it had occupied became some sort of makeshift bedroom.

At this point, however, I realized that I had began to really hate everything about the house, and that a new one was in order. Thus began my most ambitious building project ever.


Jennifer: YAY! We're moooooooving! :D

Burton: That's easy for you to say, step-sister. You're used to moving. We've lived here all our lives, what if we don't fit in anywhere else? :(


Anyway, move they did. Goodbye to Magpie Manor, and hello to Magpie Mansion! It's based on a floorplan I found on the net, and is a slightly unfaithful replica of the upper floors of Ottershaw Park, which was once a boarding school. In other words, it should have enough rooms.


Editha: What if there are ghooooosts! I don't wanna live here, I wanna go hooooooome!

Barth: Oh grab yourself together, Edie! You're 25 years old. I'm gonna go explore!


Most of the other Magpies took the uprooting a lot more stoically. Trolls do move their clans from time to time, when the need to start digging new caves arises.


Helena: Aren't you happy now, Izzy? We finally live in a stately home!

Isabel: Meh!


Then Weedy pulled a face, and Rowland started swooning over his wife's hotness, and everything was as it usually is.


Jennifer started making friends with the other Gen 3 girls. Back at the old house she seemed to rub most of the Magpies the wrong way, but now that they were all on new territory she suddenly fit in after all.

Francine: I wish I had a solid, unpretencious love like Louise and Gus do.


Weedy's kissy-face. It's something else.


I'm so tired of this chance card!


I'm even tired of getting 50 000 Simoleons. :(


Vegetables. They are your friends. Friends you eat, but Trolls aren't actually sentimental like that.




Molly: Fine. They can all get scurvy and wear dentures. >:(


Helena & Rowland: Let's break in the elevator, hee hee hee! >:D


Outside, the first dustball of the new era formed.


The ex-Mayor and his sister. Such a classy family.


It's kind of rare that Isabel wins. Her arthritis is pretty mean. But then, so is she!


Molly: Don't you get a feeling that the decorators left in a hurry?

Louise: Abbie wants to do the job herself, apparently. She doesn't trust the taste of professionals.


Editha: I cannot believe they took you along! You should have been put with Cousin Lora! I'm so tired of your ugly face!

Peggy: Owww! I'm prettier than YOU!


Jennifer: If Peggy hadn't gone to such a competitive private school, she wouldn't have been so bitter and disappointed.

Editha: You're SO right!


The dining hall got decorated. :) Unfortunately, those pretty chandelieres were hanging too low.


So the whole "living off the land" thing didn't work out. A family of critters such as these need their fresh fruit and vegatables, though. The new greenhouse has got 30 plots, so Edna and Louise have more work to do.


I say help them. It's the right thing to do.


It was still the right thing to do.


In the end, Molly's fiasco didn't matter either.


There's nothing unusual about an astronaut coming to dinner!


Jennifer liked Blanche. It was kind of sad how many wants she rolled about her old cats, back at the Macs'. There will be more pets for the Magpies at some point, but right now the family is so huge I'm trying to cut down a bit.


I thought that if I had them hire the maid before the butler, he'd leave them alone. Then they could do the cleaning and tidying, while he could get around to fixing broken stuff.


They got Ethan back. :) BTW, don't you think there should be female butlers? I mean there are male maids. (They do exist in TS3, though.)


I keep forgetting that Jen's a grandmother. Little Annabelle called her to ask how she was doing. <3


NOW ISN'T THIS JOLLY? Suddenly Gus and Sharkey didn't get along anymore.


Gus: This is not how we raised you, ungrateful brat! Fighting inside the family is NOT the way of the Trolls!


Francine: I hate Buck!

I wonder what he did. Luckily, he's so difficult to have chemistry with, that I doubt he'll ever marry into the family.


Oh no...


Burton: Way to go, darling! You showed him!

For a second there I thought Isabel was Burton's mother, not wife. It's weird that she's so old now. She used to be the little ponytailed runt in the MacAvoy family.


This house is a hotbed of passions.


Peggy: I'll teach you calling ME ugly!

Editha: You don't have to teach me, I already KNOW how to! OWWW! D:<


Ethan still doesn't like competition.


It's about time these two had a family of their own, don't you think?


As much as Trolls love their vegetables, someone raised in this particular family would probably be unable to resist the morbid allure of gnarly toe-disasters a second time.


Molly: When their toes fall off, they will be sorry!


BTW, Abbie's pregnant. :D Generation 5 is on its way.


I had Jen bake a cheesecake, but... I don't think that's the right one. It would be nice to have "natural" twins for once.


However, Jen's great cooking skills enabled her to make an interestingly coloured layer cake for dessert. It's time to start pursuing her second LTW, becoming a famous chef.


Alfie: OWWW! You know you're not supposed to kick guys there!


I wonder if the situation at home had any influence on the plot of Francie's latest novel.


They say to write what you know.


She wanted to start another one right away. This is turning into a series.


Molly hit the chess-board to skill up. I made them a grand library on the second floor (first floor for you British peeps).


Lora made a walk-by, and I had Jen greet her. Her relationships with most of her kids, and her remaining brother (Brice), have suffered a bit.


I think I've found out how to keep this particular Fortune Sim happy. :D She can stay around for a while. I like her a lot more than I do her mother.


Let's try the golf this time. I don't care how much she has to pay, I'm just hoping for a card that will help her towards a promotion.


Golf is awesome! :D That's two points she won't have to spend a whole day skilling for.


POP!


This odd chap came home with Molly. He looks like one of those gentleman badasses on adventure shows.


Will someone please feed the pregnant lady?


New wolf. His name is Avery. Wonder what happened to Balin.


Oh, Will got old.


Oh no. Ethan is senile again.


She's almost there! Level 9!


Abbie: Octuplets! :D

Um, no. It's one. The cheesecake was the wrong sort.


I gave up on the whole "Generation 4 won't have jobs"-idea. They're making money like crazy anyway, and a couple of the Gen 4s have career related LTWs. Barth's is to be the next Minister of Education, so when the teaching career came up I let him take it.


Seems like the next day was very boring, and I didn't take any pictures. This is definitely Abbie giving birth.

Abbie: YARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!


A birth is a very public affair in this house.


It's a boy, who for some reason has gotten blonde hair. Is Chester a fake ginger, or is it Louise's genetics coming through? He's got Abbie's eye-colour, giving him a pretty good chance of having inherited the Magpie eyes.


His name is Leicester, pronounced "Lester". You know, to rhyme with his Dad.


Francie's new novel. :)


I don't think she could write a bad novel if she tried. Not even if it was about a girl named Aylatani, who was 50% elf, 70% mermaid, 15% alien...


Nice! That will be useful for the unfortunate few left in Gen 3, who can't reach Perma-Plat on their own.


Duffy's old, too. I didn't pay much attention to the pets, because everyone needed help with their skilling.


Good going. It says half way, but it's actually Level 6.


How fed up am I of this card? A LOT.


Maybe that point earns him a promotion.


Peggy's LTW is to become a Hall of Famer. *sigh* It's taken Ettie forever, but Liranda has moved up pretty fast. It's worth a shot. She'll be out of the house and Editha's hair for a few hours.


Blanche is old, too. This whole Sim-day was apparently nothing but pop-ups.


Oh, and this one again... >:(


Yay, charity! :D Heavy losses? As in lots of dead Sims? Ooops.


And we're not even done yet! Err, I don't think starting a campus war is the way to go. Put your feet down, Molly.


I'll say! :D :D :D


Perma-Plat!


Her new LTW is slightly less academic.


Finally a picture! The least beautiful vampire in existance dropped by.


To bad she couldn't stay.


Hiiii, Nora. When are you joining the prettacy? :) (Answer to that: It won't be until generation 8 or 9. She's too conventionally pretty to put into the mix half way through.)


BTW, this is the guy who played the disembrained Headmaster in the latest chapter of the Starblooms.


Baby-growing time!


Growing up a baby always attracts a good crowd.


He's got the eye-stalks. But whose nose is that? Having Chester's face-potato and Abbie's eyes would make him insta-Heir.


Nah, it looks like Abbie's nose as well. He's not out of the run yet, however.


His personality is a mixed lot. He's got high nice-points, which I suppose both his parents have. Very playful, very outgoing. He seems like a Popularity Sim, but I'll be a good Legacy player and roll a random Aspiration for him.

HALF TIME! POPCORN AND SODA SOLD AT ALL EXITS. PLEASE FLUSH THE TOILETS AND WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE LEAVING. THANK YOU!


Poor Sharkey was about to get old, and that just wasn't right. He's Generation 4, they should be around for a while yet. Sooo, he got to live out his Romance Aspiration, and go checking up ladies.


Oh, look who's here.


Look who's here with Mommy. :P They must be looking for the secret of Time Travel.

But, both of those are taken. Let's move on, shall we.


This is that Face 12 townie, whose name escapes me. She was hot, Sharkey thought.


And she responded well to his flirtations.


Then she ran off, and Sharkey turned his attention towards Jill...


...who also ran off. Then he flirted up Marissa Bendett. ...who went home. *sigh*


At least he gave him some sort of present. I forgot to check what it was.

Then I had the brain-spark to check his relationship panel to see if he had chemistry with anyone else.



.......! He did! There was chemistry between him and Francie, because they are not related! And, they had been friends for so long their relationship was 100/100. So why not?!?


So he went straight home and started chatting to her.


They were another one of those couples just waiting to happen, just like Jen and Jerome used to be.


Isabel gave her full approval, and started rolling wants for grandchildren. However, I don't think so. The family would be too confusing.




They rolled the want to get engaged, so I let them. If they're going to be a couple, they might as well be an honourable one.

When the game recognizes a couple as engaged, I concider them as good as married. It's decided. Nobody shall come between them. If I could find a mod that allowed Sims to be married without living together, so I didn't have to move in a bunch of spouses, I'd be sooo happy!




They wanted to get married right away, so I didn't bother with a wedding party. I think I'll reserve those for the Heirs.


As an official couple, they were granted one of the larger rooms. There are plenty of spare rooms to go, I just hate decorating bedrooms. All the single Sims in the family have a 3x3 bedroom, and that's actually all they need.


Oooh, someone got a love letter! I don't know who, because I forgot to take it out of Chester's inventory. :D

Like Chester's new look? It was meant to be a joke while I figured out what to do for his permanent style, but it stuck around for some time.


:)


Time for another family expansion!


That sounded pretty wrong.

Ettie: The book weighs 30 kgs!


But being able to study body-skill, with Molly's career reward bookcase, is so much less dangerous!

Unless she drops that book on someone's foot.


I tried to reset Chester's Aspiration, to get rid of his annoying LTW. However, that didn't work.


That's a lot faster than Ettie got there.


She won't have to wear the sweaty, grotty mascot costume anymore. *Cue flashbacks to reading horror stories from Disney World*


Alfie's life-bar was getting very full, so he and Weedy had a date. Let's just say it got really naughty, so there aren't a lot of pictures. They were censored most of the time.


They went back to Weedy's favourite spot by the ocean, where a townie guy perved on her. Don't get ahead of yourself there, buddy. She still has a husband.


There are 6 bathrooms of various sizes in the house. 4 of those are on the ground floor. Why is this happening?


Oh yeah! Let's eat pancakes with chocolate sauce, while the other half of the family are languishing at work! x)


Goodness, more chance cards! Well, Helena's job is to explore space, but she's spend the last few years living under Weedy's fishy influence. Maybe explore the ocean?


What do you know, more munney.


Leicester was an awfully cute toddler. I think the days of truly ugly Magpie kids are passed.




Leicester's toddlerhood seemed to be a bit longer than usual, so I figured Abbie had time to get him into a better mood and teach him some skills. Didn't work. :(


Brianna: I just want to let the Mayor know that we don't actually have any photos of him on the toilet. :-/


Didn't Ettie get there in the previous update? Peggy's obviously much more suited for this career.


He's growing up already! O.o


It's neat to have so many skilled cooks around! Poor Abbie has a single cooking skill point, so she's no use in the kitchen.


Liranda: Psssh, she's totally not my mother. My Mom was beautiful!


Baby number two is on its way.


Remember that Editha started a novel? Here it is!


I'd read it, to be honest, for the sheer cheesyness of the plot.


What's this? They've put their rivalry behind them? :D Looks like the house was big enough for both of them.


Molly: I understand that you want your children to attend a private school, but I've dedicated my life to making the public school system in Simerica better. Won't you please consider it?

Abbie: Same difference to me, actually. It's Chester who wants it. He has so few dreams he can fulfill, poor boy!

If only he had an LTW that wasn't becoming a big-time criminal, eh?


Will died. Remember Will, their dog? Yeah, barely me either.


Rowland is still a good grandpa-figure to all the little ones. :D I'm glad I've kept him around. He's more fun as an old fart than he was when he was young.


Birthday time again. It's practically once a week.


Okay. It's not like his mother grew up any better the first time.


Rowland: ...and that's how you do the Irish Remote Healing! Take notes, Lei.

Leicester: Wow, my hands are HUGE! :D

Jennifer: I wonder if Lora will let me adopt the twin who isn't heir.

It's... a tempting idea. I need a good smack on the head again.


Rowland: Come on, sprout! Let's get you to bed. You've got school tomorrow.

Leicester: Do I have to?


BTW, here he is. The lower part of his face is from Chester, but he's got both Louise's nose and eyes, giving him the classic cheek-bones as well. I'd like to have an heir who looked a bit more different from her.


Well, the new kid is coming soon.


I remember this one from when Fronie had it. The pills did wonders.


Good! Charisma is such a boring skill, even with the podiums!


The baby is coming! :)


It's a boy, with an interesting mix of genetics. He's another blonde, with what resembles Louise's skintone, making me think that the hair comes from her as well. The eyes must be Chester's, since nobody else has that shade of blue.


The Name Generator has decreed that he shall be known as Schlingeman.

Just kidding! :) His name's Gregory.


Very nice of you, Tim. When were you and Edna on a date again? I guess I forgot to take any pics.


I took some pictures of the library, before moving it into the next room. Having a huge library was cool, but since there were rarely more than a couple of people in there skilling at one time, I figured it could swap places with the party-room next door. (I imagine they have really good sound-proofing.)


Comfy plush seating for serious study sessions and enlightening discoveries.


Lots of books containing knowledge and wisdom. I kept most of the layout, and the only things that didn't fit in the smaller room was one of the chess tables and a potted plant.


Believe it or not, this is the same room after the refurbishment. They needed somewhere to keep their beloved karaoke and the dance sphere.


Taste? Who said anything about that? :)


Samantha Ottomas was the first one to break in the new cloud castle of Fun.


Isabel and Alfie were more interested in breaking in each other's skulls.


Yess! Good job, Ettie! She should have Perma-Plat within reach now.

However, that means that I have to let Generation 3 get old. :( They have been around for a very long time now, and it's time to give the sadly neglected Generation 4 some love. And there's also the new children to think of. If this is going to be a Legacy, then some Sims have to go, so new generations can be born.


Weedy: Owww, I don't feel so good!

Louise: I told you the bacon tasted funny! Did anyone actually check the expiration date?

Helena: I'll go look! *evacuates*


Molly: I'm out of here before I catch the bug!


I don't think you'll catch this bug, Molly. Yes, Weedy was pregnant. Surprise! :D You see, I felt so bad about taking Alfie from her, and in a while her daughters as well, I just wanted to let her have a remnant of her family left.

Rowland has an immortal son, Helena has an immortal son and daughter. It just seemed fair that Weedy should have someone who would stay with her for a while. I'm not sure this kid will be granted permanent immortal status, but he'll be considered part of Generation 5.


The Generator said his name was Bertram. I like that. It seems logical that someone named Alfie has a son named Bertie.


Everyone was thrilled about THE MIRACLE OF BIRTH, as usual. And Alfie did get to see his son. I had doubts that he would.


Anyway, watching a birth is nerve-wracking, and there was nothing wrong with the bacon, so breakfast continued merrily.


Brianna: I just wanted to say that I'm very sorry about what happened to the Prime Minister. We didn't really know that guy was an assassin!


He may not have learned many toddler skills (In fact, I think he learned none at all), but we couldn't let homework destroy Leicester's childhood. It was best that he learned to study as soon as possible.


She's getting there. :D


Ettie went out with Elmer, and they entertained themselves with scandalous gossip... about the cat.

Ettie: She totally hacked up a hairball!


Awww, poor Uncle Adolf. Is the mean 1-tile hill in your way so you can't pick someone's pocket?


The game seems to have a little trouble telling Weedy and Abbie apart. It started when they were pregnant, but I couldn't show that screen because spoilerzzz.


I kind of have a feeling that Patrick Okuma intends to be back tomorrow. x) He couldn't find his way to the front door, and I had to delete him.


The family panel, let me show you eet!


Sometimes it feels like the game is trying to give me bad conscience.


Like this.


Oh.


Well, well... Goodbye, Alfie! Thank you for providing some much needed sanity to the Magpies' home life, and for handling the various Headmasters they've had visiting through the years. And for keeping our Weedy happy.


No surprise that he was crazy about Weedy, but he actually gave more to the child he knew for a day than certain others have given to children they knew for 40 years. He was always good friends with Burton, as well. Burton was there when he was born, if you remember. He came home from school with Helena.


Weedy wasn't the only member of the family who bawled her eyes out. Alfie was Francie and Barth's uncle. I keep thinking he was something further removed, since he was Gen 2 and they're Gen 4.

Actually they're both Gen 4 and Gen 3, to be perfectly technical. Their mother, Isabel, is also Gen 2, just a very late addition.


The ever tactful Rowland cheered her up by trash-talking her long-dead uncle Sinjin.


:( Alfie was her brother, her much younger brother.


I'm not sure if Chester was crying because Alfie died, or because he was wearing a really stupid haircut, or because his LTW was out of the question and his Aspiration was in red. I suspect it was the last one.


Yeah, this kid's going to have a nice first memory. A scary shadow-man materializing in the livingroom, taking his Dad away, and leaving everyone distraught.


What's this? Peggy and Editha sitting nicely at the table like civilized adult women?

Jennifer: Don't start throwing things.


Heimlich!


Ettie's on a roll!


I didn't know cats could interact with skunks. She didn't get sprayed. :)


Now, Peggy is pretty mean. I still don't think Louise raised her to be the kind of person who actively tries to sabotage someone else's chances. Not unless that someone else is named Editha, anyway.


Oh boo hoo, that's soooo much money for them.


With one of the feuding pairs split up by the death of one party, the rest of them seemed to grow more agressive.


Let's see if Editha can repeat the success.




Bertie's birthday came along quickly. Let's see how much of the late Alfie there is in him.


Weedy: Make a wish, rugrat. Wish that you'll be as fierce and scary as Mommy!


Everyone: Ettie! Ettie! Ettie! Ettie! Ettie! Ettie! Ettie! Ettie! Ettie!

Barth: Weedy!

He thinks she's soooo hot. But he's engaged to Vena, and she'll have to find someone her own age (uh, whatever) when she's done grieving.


Oh my! He looks a lot like his Mom!


Like his sisters, he's got Alfie's eyes and nose. But he doesn't have their sharp, hollow face. In fact he's got a very similar headshape to Weedy. And that hair has to go. It's the exact same one Bart had as a kid.


I don't think so, darling. At least she didn't roll "Have baby with Pao"! She will NOT date Pao!


Then it was Greg's turn to reveal his potential.


Chester: Ettie!


Not sure why Louise is minusing, but it's a fairly safe guess that she got the flu.


He's... something different. Really! The funny thing is, he doesn't actually look like either of his parents. He's got Abbie's nose, which comes from Gus, and the rest of his features are from Chester. However, he looks nothing like his father!


Actually, I think his mouth may be from Abbie/Gus. He's definitely got Chester's chin, though, as you'll see when he's older.


A new nappy can wait! The Ocean Avenger is reading Winnie the Pooh to her baby!

Weedy: ...and then Pooh said to the Orca "Attack!", and the Orca ate the Heffalump! And Pooh and his friends went back to the Hundred Acre Woods to have a party. :D


When did Elys even meet Tally?


I think the "Good Luck Troll" is strong in Greg.


I still don't think it's fair to punish a child for the actions of their guardians, who they depend on. If the system is unfair, you must disobey the system.


Seems like the chance card agrees!


Barth: I've already started my essay on toes! Can't wait to read it to Vena!


Grim apparently wasn't happy with just Alfie, so he came to get Duffy as well.


There she goes, flying up to the Rainbow Bridge. :-/


And as if that wasn't enough, it was apparently 2-for-1 day. He took Blanche as well. I guess she can keep Duffy company while they're waiting for whoever was their Master.




It would be sad not to have any pets at all, so they got this little girl.


Jo-jo, as she is known, is one of those hyper little things.


She'll be their only pet for now, because the family is still so huge, with many kids to care for, and pets tend to go neglected in that type of situation. It just wouldn't be the Magpie home without at least one pet, though.

Okay, that was the first out of three planned updates. I hope you're not too mad at me for making the family even more confusing. Watch this space for more Magpies. :D

LOLOLOLOL In all of them. Weedy is ... Weedy =D
