While the Benevolent teens are in other worlds, parents Bruce and Lucy are being hit with some hard news.
“I can’t put this off any longer,” Bruce was heard saying. “I’ve got to tell Lucy where things stand.”
“Honey, I’ve been telling you for months that the cost of living in Oasis Springs is almost double what it was back in Riverview,” Bruce began. “And as I’m a stay-at-home dad and you’re just beginning your career. . .”
“We–we just can’t afford it any longer. We’re going to have to find a new place.”
“Not all is lost though,” Bruce continued. “We’ve got enough saved for the girls’ college tuition and the cabin we lived in in Henford-on-Bagley is for sale!”
FYI: Henford-on-Bagley was the world where Bruce and Lucy initially landed in after the a meteor shower destroyed the world of Riverview.
“Henford-on-Bagley? I mean, we loved it, but there was barely enough room for the two of us.” Lucy stated in a voice barely above a whisper.
“Yes, but the sale of this house is going to bring in quite a few Simoleons. It’ll be more than enough to renovate that tiny cabin into something larger. Plus, we’ll be out of Oasis Springs and away from those crazy Housewives.”
“Say no more then!” Lucy exclaimed. “I’ve had enough of their disgusting shenanigans to last a lifetime.”
Meanwhile, Brooklyn and the gang ventured out to explore the Selvadoradian jungle for the first time.
“This is gonna be a blast,” Holden McGlum tells us. “It looks like rain, but we’ve got plenty of umbrellas. What else could we need?”
It turns out the answer is plenty.
Unbeknownst to the group, Wolfgang Munch had not only bought up most of the needed jungle supplies, but hoarded the group’s food rations as well.
“Let’s see how far they get with just an instant grilled cheese in their inventory!” Wolfgang laughed.
For Cassandra Goth, this wasn’t very far at all. “The food in my inventory is gone and I’ve already been bitten by spiders and chased by bats. Why did I think I could do this?”
Finn Wilson also experienced culture shock.
“The outhouses leave a lot to be desired,” he stated. “I think we’re better off relieving ourselves in the jungle.
After a few hours, the groups called it quits and headed back to their rental.
Over in Moonwood Mill, Edwin and Bella were spending some time back at the library.
“So, which types of vampire powers do you already have?” Bella asked. “It might help us figure out Vlad.”
“You mean besides doing my hands like this and making a hissing rawr sound?” Edwin laughed.
“No, seriously. I’m just a fledgling vampire. I can’t do much more than dark meditation.”
“Vampires can lock and unlock doors to gain entry to a Sim’s house?” Bella asked in amusement.
“Correction!” Edwin added. “Vampires can lock and unlock doors to gain entry to a Sim’s neck to drink their blood. Not cool.”
After a few more minutes of research, the two headed home with romance on their mind–sort of.
“I wanted to get closer to Edwin, but all I could think about was how much I missed my family and friends As much as I said the graduation trip didn’t matter, I knew I was missing out.”
“Something was definitely up with Bella so I decided to tickle her mercilessly. Big mistake.”
“We just settled for some cuddling” Edwin adds. “I hope that she’s not regretting coming with me, or worse, her feelings for me.”
Will Bella share her feelings with Edwin? How will Edwin respond? How will Lucy and Bruce break the news to the kids that they must move to another world yet again?
