Chapter 184

Isn't it lovely when the Parsons sit down and enjoy a peaceful breakfast together?

Peace doesn't last long in the Parsons house, though, so let's enjoy it.

Happy birthday, Elodie!

Elodie aged up into an elder! Isn't she the most adorable elder ever?

Zhora: "I thought I was the most adorable elder ever."

Jaxton: "Goodbye, my wonderful crazy family. I've lived a long life, but it's time for me to go."

What?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, JAX!

Jaxton: "Make sure my family eats three meals a day for me."

Jaxton: *Sigh*

Jaxton: "Take care of my restaurant for me."

Rest In Peace, Jaxton Parsons. You were an amazing chef, father and grandfather and you will be dearly missed.

Zhora: *Gasp!* "Jax?!"

Zhora: "Are you okay, honey?!"

Zhora: "Nooooooooooo! He's gone! He's gone, isn't he?!"

Elijah: *Gasp* "Grandpa?!"

Paisley: "Oh my god! Dad?!"

Zhora: "Jax is my ride or die, I guess it's time for me to go too, then."

Zhora: "To all the aliens on Sixam, take care of my family for me."

Zhora: *Sigh* "At least I get to lie down next to my love one more time."

Zhora: "And at least he looks at peace."

Nooooooooooooo! Not Zhora too!

Zhora: "Paisley, I'm so proud of you for all the work you've done for Evergreen Harbor. Please, don't stop until you reach your goals of this place being green, don't worry about your father and I... we'll be fine."

Rest In Peace, Zhora Parsons. You were a lovely alien sim with so much personality. You will be dearly missed.

'Till death do them part.

Paisley: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Please don't leave me, mom and dad!"

Servella: "This leftover Harvestfest turkey is good."

Uh... there's kinda something serious going on right now, Servella.

Grim Reaper: "These sims again? Wasn't I just here a few days ago?"

Off they go...

Deven: "This is so sad! I haven't cried this much since I accidentally dropped my rubber ducky toy into the lake and never saw it again!"

Zhora's alien headstone is cool, at least.

Elodie: "Oop, my back has locked in!"

Elodie: "But I'm not getting old... nope... not at all..."

Deven: "Who knew the toilet contained compost to give to the bugs? I know I didn't."

Wow, that's... nasty.

Deven: "Yeah, it kind of is, but at least my wife will be happy. Speaking of which, while Paisley is at work, I'm gonna head over to the neighbor's house and buy them their own bugs to make their home more eco-friendly. I'll even plant them some plants while I'm at it."

Deven: "Hey there, neighbors, just your friendly neighbor coming over to give you some bugs and plant some plants in your garden. Don't forget to take care of them, okay?"

Deven: "Paisley is gonna be so happy that I did this!"

Deven decided to purchase some crickets for the neighbors.

Deven: "Why did I have to pay 15 of my own simoleons?"

Deven: "These bugs are just as cute as our bugs back home!"

Deven: "I'm about to steal you and take you home with me, you're adorable."

Landon: *Gasp!* "Gross! Did he just buy us some... bugs?!"

Deven: "Yep, you can thank me later!"

Deven is also gonna plant these plants for the neighbors.

Deven: "There you go, little flower."

Deven: "Let me know if these neighbors don't take care of you and I'll come get you, okay?"

Why does it sound like you're dropping the flower off at a sleepover?

Deven also decided to purchase some bees for the neighbors.

Deven: "Woah!"

Deven: "These bees are so cool!"

Deven: "And they're so adorable!"

Deven: "Hehe... one of them just tickled my face. I love the bees."

Deven: "Now I just look stupid."

Back at home, Servo is writing another book. He just finished writing a bestseller!

And Deven is hanging out the laundry to dry. The sim husband of the year award goes to him.

The rays of sunshine are home from school. Why does this look like a mixtape cover?

Elodie: "These bugs are a lot cuter than I expected them to be."

Elodie: "Aren't you, little bug?"

Elodie: "You're my new best friend."

Sprinkles: "My tail has been following me for hours."

Ralphie: "Should I tell Sprinkles that she's crazy?"

Elijah: "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands!"

Lauryn: "Really, Elijah? Our grandparents just died this morning."

TV Woman: "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!"

Paisley: "If you're sad and you know it, cry yourself to sleep tonight."

Poor Paisley, she lost both Jax and Zhora on the same day. She's devastated.

It's homework time for the kids!

Everything Paisley did reminded her of her parents.

Paisley: *Sigh* "Dad loved cooking so much..."

Ralphie: "I loved when Jax would cook because he'd give me some food while he was cooking!"

The neighborhood voting is open once again!

Paisley is going to attempt to repeal 'We Wear Bags' once again.

Will she have any luck this time? Who knows.

Paisley: "Alright, the repeal is set up. Can I cry again yet?"

Sure.

I feel so bad for Paisley.

Sprinkles: "Back away from the food bowl, Ralphie!"

Ralphie: "I was here first, peasant!"

Elodie: "They do realise they have two food bowls, right?"

Paisley is still devastated about the passing of her parents.

She found it hard to get up in the morning, but she knew she had to keep going. Evergreen Harbor wasn't going to save itself.

Paisley: "Who's that awesome charismatic sim in the mirror?"

Paisley: "Oh yeah... it's me."

Xylia: "Showoff."

Speaking of showoffs...

Elodie is making some high quality bug juice that came with Eco Lifestyle.

I don't know if I'm impressed or grossed out."

Elodie: "Any juice is good juice. TURN UP!"

A true Parsons.

Elodie: "It tastes good! Only a master mixologist could make bug juice taste good, though."

Kaylee is becoming more like her mom and recycling! Paisley would love to see this if she wasn't practising her charisma skill all day everyday.

Kaylee: "Hehe... now I want some grilled cheese sandwiches after all that recycling."

Aaand there's her father.

Elijah: "Am I old enough to use the recycling machine yet?"

Nope, sorry kid.

Kaylee is really trying to be the favorite child today.

Deven has begun raking up all the leaves from fall outside since it'll be winter tomorrow.

Deven: "Don't mess with me or my rake."

Servo: "I'm just glad it's not me raking up the leaves for once."

Landon: "Where the heck is the sim who put those bees in my garden?! They're always enraged and attacking everyone! Now I'm enraged!"

Deven: "Uh oh..."

Deven: "I'll just keep raking and mind my business. Hopefully he doesn't notice me."

Elodie: "Landon! You finally came to visit me!"

Landon: "Mom! I've missed you so much!"

Aww, so sweet!

Now Kaylee is raking up the leaves? What does she want...

Deven: "Hehe, guess why I raked up all those leaves?"

Deven: "You guessed it! So I could play in the leaf pile!"

Deven: "This is so much fun!"

Deven: "Maybe this can be my new napping spot!"

Elijah: "Now dad's gonna stink like leaves when he comes inside."

Really...? SERIOUSLY...?! Someone swiped the computer?!

Which one of you was it?!

Servella: "Who wants some baked potato?"

Ralphie: "I do, I do!"

Elijah: "Hmm... this is difficult."

Elijah: "Which piece should I move at the start of a game while playing by myself?!"

Elijah: "The stakes are high!"

Servo finally got off the computer long enough for Xylia to use it.

What kind of game is this, Xylia?

Xylia: "Just a zombie apocalypse game."

Oh... okay...

Elodie: "I'm so close to finishing the mixology career!"

Please don't die before you finish your career. I want to put the culinary career behind us once and for all!

Ralphie: "For the last time, I'm not bowing down to you."

Sprinkles: "You've got a lot of nerve, peasant."

Xylia: "You really thought you could beat an alien at chess?"

Elijah: "I thought I was getting good."

Elijah: "Hey, grandma ghost! You wanna come inside?"

Zhora: "Of course I do!"

Zhora: "I have a present just for my favorite grandchild."

Kaylee: "I'm your favorite grandchild?!"

Kaylee: "Thanks, grandma!"

Elijah: "I thought I was grandma's favorite. I'm mom and dad's favorite. I'm the creator's favorite. I'm everyone's favorite!"

Kaylee: "This is awesome! Thanks, grandma."

Elijah: "Did you get anything for me too, grandma?"

Zhora: "Not this time. I'll head to the underworld mall later and buy you something too, Elijah."

Elijah: "Is there a reason I'm not your favorite grandchild?"

Zhora: "You are, I just didn't wanna hurt your sister's feelings."

Paisley is back outside recycling once again!

Zhora: "Ah, it makes me so happy to see my daughter is still following her dreams and making the world a better place. It seems my family is doing great."

There's lots of townies down by the noticeboard this evening. You know what that means...

Paisley: "Rally up, everyone!"

Paisley: "Don't y'all just love eco-friendly appliances so much?"

Townie: "Uh... not really."

Paisley: "Come onnn! Evergreen Harbor would have never become this beautiful without the help of eco upgrades!"

Townie: "I mean... I guess you're right."

Paisley: "I know I'm right, I'm the one who implemented everything to make Evergreen Harbor a better place! Now, let's all vote for eco-friendly home upgrades together!"

Paisley: "Wow, it looks like a lot of sims have been voting for eco-friendly home upgrades!"

Paisley: "They must really want me to barge into their homes more often."

Paisley: "Ugh, it's freezing out here!"

Paisley: "Brr..."

Paisley: "When I walk away, y'all had better vote for eco-friendly appliance upgrades! Or else..."

Townie: "What does she mean 'or else'? Should we be afraid?"

YES. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Deven: "Ha! Gotcha! I finally beat someone at chess!"

Wow, great job, Deven.

Woohoo! Servo has finally reached level 10 at the writing skill!

Paisley: "Stupid Servo achieving everything. When am I gonna finally achieve my goals?"

Soon, my lovely... soon.
