Round 1: Episode 6: Kaylynn's Story

Kaylynn Langerak's name might sound a bit familiar. Kaylynn used to be a maid employed by the Squeaky Clean Maid Service. She was assigned to the Pleasant's house. Unfortunately, she and Daniel got a little too close one day... Mary Sue found out and reported it to the maid service. Kaylynn was let go, and blacklisted from the rest of the town's maid services. Kaylynn was planning to move to Veronaville as she had some relatives there but something made her change her plans:The birth of her daughter Sicily prompted Kaylynn to stay in Pleasantview in the hopes that Daniel would want to be a part of Sicily's life. Kaylynn ventured out to the Pleasant house and was accosted by an aged Mary Sue. Mary Sue offered Kaylynn 50,000 simoleans to leave Daniel and his family alone. Kaylynn didn't want to accept the money, but as it was she was barely making ends meet. And after all, Mary Sue didn't say that Daniel couldn't come to her...

So Kaylynn accepted Mary Sue's offer and then purchased a small condo near Don Lothario. She hated to live in such a part of town that had that kind of a reputation, so Kaylynn took the money and remodeled the house to make it a home:Kaylynn went on a few dates after Sicily was born... and later discovered that she should quit that practice:She gave birth to a little boy named Luca. Kaylynn could only assume from the timing that he was Don's. She neglected to notify him, however, because she didn't feel like he would be a good enough father to him. Kaylynn was a doting mother on her children. And before she knew it, they were all grown up:
And there she lives, supporting her two children and hoping to eventually be seen as a legitimate upstanding member of society. Getting married would be nice too...

Round 1: Episode 5: Welcome to the 'Burbs!

The Burbs are in town! John, Jennifer, and their daughter Lucy have moved in across from the Brokes. They haven't done much yet, but they'll soon be a prominent name.

Round 1: Episode 4: Brandi's New Life

Brandi Broke had a very hard time after her husband Skip died. She had a newborn and a toddler to take care of and her only helper (her son, Dustin) left to attend Sim State University. A few months after Dustin left, Brandi met Alex Piper:Quickly, love happened:Beau had already grown into a child. Skip Jr. followed the birthday fad and transitioned happily into a toddler and then a child:
Beau and Skip Jr. played together everyday and became great friends. But, there may be a new boy (or girl?) in the mix soon...

Round 1: Episode 3: Dustin's Fairy Tale

After completing his four years at Sim State University, Dustin returned home to Pleasantview. He was slightly broke, as the tuition had taken it's toll on his bank account. He luckily had enough money to pay for college, because his mother, Brandi, was frugal throughout his childhood and saved every social security check he received, because of his father's death, in a high interest savings account. So, as he had a finite amount of money left, he purchased the small starter home next to his mother.
Dustin was still very interested in his high school sweetheart, Angela. They had kept in touch all through his time at the university and Dustin wanted to make her his Mrs. However, Dustin didn't feel that he could give her a nice life with his current income: nothing. So Dustin decided to wait for a little bit while he built up his savings and credit, and made a decent home for Angela.

Soon, Dustin attained a job as a Scatmaster in the Natural Science career track. He was quickly promoted to a Soil Identifier and then a Rogue Botanist. With a steady income, and the small house turned into a quaint little home, Dustin felt it was time. He married Angela in a quiet home ceremony:
They began their life together as newlyweds and it was picture perfect. Angela did not attend a university because she was more interested in floral arrangements. She and Dustin quickly set up a small outdoor shop on their lawn, and soon it flourished enough that they erected a separate partition of their house to be a store.Not soon after the inception of her floral business, Angela discovered that she was pregnant. Labor was intense and frightening for both of them:The baby was a beautiful little girl that they named Mandy, and Dustin was ecstatic. They were quite the pretty little family:

Round 1: Episode 1: Trina Goth

Dina Caliente was enjoying her new life as a wealthy trophy wife. Anything she had ever wanted could be hers with just a snap of her fingers. Even though she now had two step-children, they were too old to still need raising (one being just a few years younger than herself). Dina feared, however, that when Mortimer (God-forbid) passed away, she would be neglected in the will because she married him so late in the game. He was retired, for Pete's sake! What could she possibly claim she needed compensation for, or was owed? Therefore, Dina decided that she must mother a child for him. Unknowingly, Dina went off the pill and she was soon pregnant. The months went by quickly, and before she knew it, the labor pains hit. Dina had not imagined that it could be this painful, but it was worth it. The child was a precious baby girl, and they named her Trina. Even though she was a product of greed, Dina loved her immediately, and doted upon her every day. Mortimer and Bella had required a nanny to help with the rearing of Cassandra and Alexander, but Dina refused Mortimer's offer, and mothered the little bundle of joy herself. She even began dressing more conservatively. Well... as conservatively as Dina could get....Alexander wasn't sure how he felt about the new baby, especially since the child was not his full-blood sibling and he had never trusted Dina in the first place. He could hardly be bothered to form a decisive opinion about Trina, however, because he was so caught up in his studies. Alexander was attempting to get into an elusive private school to better impress Mortimer's snooty alma-mater. He also had a childhood friend on his mind. But more about that some other time...
