Dawnmist: Sims 2 Challenges

Dad started spending time looking at the moon

Then he thought he saw a shadowy thing pass before it...

A weird noise started above him

causing him to look up

Followed by a blindingly-bright light

Then everything went dark

and afterward Mum and I couldn't find Dad anywhere.

He reappeared on the road outside the house

the next morning, and almost got run over by the school bus. He couldn't tell us where he'd been - he was babbling some nonsense about aliens.

Mum decided that the strain had been too much

It was time to retire, and spend some time with her husband. He didn't seem very well after his disappearance...

Dad was acting oddly - worrying about being pregnant

I mean...he's a GUY. Guys don't get pregnant...do they? The Sex Ed class at school said they can't...

Still, he was throwing up a lot

and getting tired really easily. And hungry.

My dog Selkie (gen 3 family breed heir) grew into an adult

Here's Selkie's family tree

Now Dad is swearing that his belly's bulging, like he's pregnant.

I just can't see it. Maybe it's the clothes, but I just don't see a pregnancy. I think he must have lost his mind while he was missing. He's still babbling about being abducted by aliens, too.

Mum's spent some time with the dogs

Teaching them some new tricks. It gave her a break from dealing with Dad's strange behaviour.

I've been enjoying being a teenager, and making friends.

Talking sport is so much better than listening to nonsense about aliens, or odd food cravings from my 'pregnant' father.

And going on a few dates...

My first kiss.

Forrest became a Star

But my first day of work didn't go too well.

They SAID altering the role sheet was bad - I'd get fired. Instead, I got demoted because I wouldn't alter the sheet when a parent demanded I do so. It was SO unfair. :(

Willie Bigfoot became a Celebrity Chef

I've always wondered how he manages to keep from getting hair in the food he cooks though.

My still-thin Dad started shouting from the garage

That he was about to give birth. *rolls eyes*

He claimed to be feeling labour pains...

And I was thinking 'yeah, right - he has definitely flipped'.

Then, amazingly, he actually DID give birth...

to TWINS. WTF? Where did they come from? HOW did they come out?

He was like 'OMG, it's green! And floating!'

This thing isn't human?!

But I guess she's cute anyway...

NOW do you believe me about the aliens?

His twin girls were named Jade and Melanie

Can you believe it? He really WAS pregnant!

I've got two green baby half-sisters now!

After the unfairness of the role incident

I changed jobs. That worked out a lot better for me.

Now that Dad was home looking after the twins

He had more time to spend with me - while the twins were sleeping.

Pretty soon, it was time for their first birthday.

Mum didn't bother with a party for them

She's getting a lot more tired these days.

First Jade grew into a toddler

Poor kid - she's deformed. She has no nose...

Just a couple of holes. I wonder if that's normal for the aliens that impregnated Dad.

Then it was time for Melanie

Who grew up with a much more normal appearance

She's really cute, despite the green skin.

Dad still thinks Mum's hot

With the twins grown, Dad returned to work

And earned a promotion to the top of his career. A Space Pirate...I wonder if that means he'll be meeting with aliens again.

I had a school assignment in Science

to track the rising/setting of the moon, and it's shape, for a month.

I was a bit nervous doing it

After what had happened to Dad...

And to my horror, I heard an odd noise

and looked up

Just in time to be blinded by the light.

It really was aliens

Everything Dad had said turned out to be true. I guess I owe him an apology.

They 'dropped' me back home the next morning

I was feeling somewhat shaky.

But fortunately, they didn't give me any phantom pregnancies.

Mum suggested it was time to look at going to college.

I'd been in the fast-track at high school, and when I applied they said I'd earned a ton of scholarships. Including one for having been abducted...is it really that frequent?

I called the cab to get a ride to the campus

Everyone gathered around to wave me goodbye

Dad a little slower, because he'd been busy with Jade.

The cab arrived, and it was time to go
