6. TOUGH TIMES (2)

Tomorrow is a big day. Klara is rehearsing her speech for Saturday’s Debate Showdown.



Judge: You’re up first. Good luck!



What a coincidence—Klara’s opponent is Akito! No, it wasn’t planned. Both put up a fierce fight, but only one can win. And... that someone is Klara! Bravo!



Zoe: This time you crushed it! I’m so proud!

Klara: I didn’t think I could do it!

Judge: Excellent performance. Keep it up, and you’ll go far.

Klara: Thank you so much!



Akito, on the other hand, seems to be having a rough day—he loses the next round as well.



Later, André invites Klara to the Festival of Love. But as soon as they greet each other, André disappears somewhere. Weird dates, huh? Klara doesn’t seem thrilled by how things are going.

Guru: Greetings, stranger. How may I assist you?

Klara: Hello, Love Guru! Does the relationship I’m currently in stand a chance?

Guru: I think your true love is closer than you realize!

Klara: So, does that mean it has a chance, or should I keep looking?!

Guru: Apologies, darling. I only have a limited set of pre-written responses.



Back at the dorm, Klara runs into Akito and feels a pang of guilt seeing him in such a sorry state.

Klara/Akito: I’m sorry!

Akito: No, I’m the one who should apologize. You were right—I was always in a bad mood and never explained anything. I’ve been dealing with some issues, and instead of talking, I just lashed out.



Akito: I have a secret. I’ve been burdened with great responsibility... as a Vampire Slayer. It’s been a huge source of stress for me.

Klara: Vampires? Wait, vampires are real?

Akito: Yes, ever since the Vampires expansion pack. They have various powers, can even walk in daylight, and are hard to distinguish from regular Sims. By the way, watch out for that André you’ve been seeing...

Klara: Ha! Nice try! You almost got me to believe that! Haha!

Akito: Yeah... haha... But hey, it’s nice to hear you laugh again!



Finally, a proper date with André!

Klara: So, I think I passed all my exams, which means the last semester is ahead of me!

André: That calls for a celebration—let’s order some good wine.

Klara: We’ll have the Renoit Reserve from Monte Vista. I’ll take the Beetroot Pasta, and for Mister, the Pasta Volcano.

André: Finally, some alone time...



André: Ugh, what is this? I’m not eating this! Waiter, take this garbage away. Are you trying to poison me?!

Waiter: My sincerest apologies, monsieur. I’ll inform the chef immediately. Madame, are you enjoying your dish?

Klara: Uh, yes... it’s delicious.

André: Don’t be ridiculous—it’s molecular junk, not real food. We’re leaving!

Klara: But I’m still hungry...



André: One day, my name will be on the Fame Wall here.

Klara: Sounds like a plan.

André: But tonight, you are my plan!



The date eventually ends, with André disappearing again, leaving Klara to finish the evening alone. But later that night...

André: Hey there! Let’s continue our date...

Klara: What are you doing here in the middle of the night? In my dorm room?!

André: Your new roommate invited me in.

Klara: You know what? Just tell me what’s going on. You show up and vanish without warning. None of our dates have been normal. Last night, I went hungry because of you. And now you’re sneaking around like some Tom Peeping!



André: The truth is... you’re going to make a delicious snack!!



Akito: Get away from her, you plasma-sucker! I’ve suspected you all along!



Akito: You’re lucky I don’t have any weapons as an inactive Sim, or this fight would end very differently! Now leave and never come back!

André: It's not the end!



Klara: So you really are a Vampire Slayer, and vampires really exist?

Akito: I’m sorry. I tried to warn you. I’ve been keeping an eye on André for some time now—his behavior was suspicious, and then he started dating you, and...

Klara: Shh... Don’t say another word.

Mako Island Filip: I think it's here. Nalani: I was waiting for you. Filip briefly told Nalani about the situation. She revealed that she already received the news and managed to ask the dolphins for help. Nalani: They should know something by now, wait here while I check. Nalani: It's worse than I thought! Your daughter is in danger. She was tricked by 3 sisters, mermaids who are under a Voodoo curse. They live in Losts Haven and have been trying to lift the curse for years. They believe they need to drink the essence of a newly transformed mermaid to lift the curse. They have already turned her into mermaid and prepared the ritual! Your daughter thinks it's a mermaid initiation ritual, but if she eats the cake, cowplant will devour her! All that will be left is her essence! We must save her immediately! Meanwhile, the ritual has begun in the Lost Haven. Bea seems to have some doubts. But she is soon enchanted by a wild dance of fire. Maira: O Mighty Goddess! Accept our fi...

Chronicles of Del Sol Valley Izi's parents decided to take a break from the hustle of an ordinary city and went to an extraordinary city, full of celebrities on every corner. San Sequoia was close, so they first came to visit Izi, and then they started the actual vacation in Del Sol Valley. Hotspots were everywhere and full of famous Sims. Yuki: Bailey-Moons at 11:00, don't look. Piotr: Honey, I actually have 1 star more than Olivia, I can say hello. He did so, and then everyone went dancing in a club. And besides, Piotr has an even more refined palate than Izi, it clearly runs in the family... Yuki was a bit tired and went on her own to relax in the jacuzzi. Soon her husband joined her. Maybe something would come out of it in a public place, but... Yuki kept dozing off 😅 The next day she felt ashamed. Yuki: Sorry for yesterday, it was probably the warm jacuzzi water. Piotr: Or the drinks we had before. Piotr: Look, I have a rush, it's probably because of jacuzzi. How will...

  Chronicles of  San Sequoia Vampire: Mom! Dad! That's this crazy woman who attacked me! She's checking our mailbox! Izi [to herself]: Attacked? Oh, yes, I remember, "my first vampire"... 4 vampires on 1, hm... should I fight or run?  Vampire: And now she's talking to herself! She's really insane! Skye: What's going on? Izi? That's you? Vampire: I'll teach her a lesson! Now I'm much more powerful! Skye: NO! Stefan, we don't attack people. Izi: What? Stefan: But technically, she attacked me first. Izi: What does "we don't attack people" mean? Do you think I'll fall for this? Skye: Let's go inside, I'll explain. Izi: Or you'll kill me! Skye: If we wanted to, you'd be killed by now. Izi decided that curiosity won. Skye: Where to start... Stefan: OMW, dad, make it short. And so Skye told how, after the defeat of the Original, vampires split into 2 fractions: human-friendly, started by the Vatore siblings; and t...
