OWBC Scrapbooks Prologue Part 1

An Officially Wacky Boolprop Challenge

Prologue Part 1: Sky University

By: EveningSky

My name is Katrina Sky and I the founder of the Sky family. I am putting together this biography to
add to my scrapbook for my family so that the legacy can carry on for the generations to come.
My story starts at Sky University where I lived out the days of my young adulthood. I moved into a
dorm that housed 12 sims including myself. I was eager to make friends but even more eager to begin
my studies. I‟m a knowledge sim (secondary family) so learning is very important to me. I only hope
to uphold the tradition in my family of attending college. This time of my life was very exciting. I had
a whole life ahead of me and it was full of possibilities!

~Author’s note:
Katrina is a knowledge sim with a secondary aspiration in family. Her lifetime want is to become a
Media Magnet.
Her personality is: Aquarius with:
 5 Neat
 6 Outgoing
 4 Active
 5 Playful
 5 Nice~

Immediately upon arriving, I noticed that there were 3 pink flamingos on the front of my lawn at the
expense of my own money!
“Whyyyy?” I wailed, “I only had §500 to begin with!”

~You’d think she’d be happy with the nice new neighborhood I just made for her but
oh well. She’s going to have to get used to these flamingos. Trust me , Katrina, they’re
going to be around for your kids, their kids and their kid’s kids.~

“Take that ugly flamingo,” I said as I kicked that distasteful little piece of lawn trash.

~*Face palm* Well this is off to a great start…~

I wasn‟t so much angry at the fact that there was a flamingo on my lawn as I was angry at the fact
that I had wasted §36 on them. I mean §12 for one flamingo is bad enough…

~Katrina, you do not even know the meaning of wasting money and such, sims don’t
have economical downturn!~

My transition to college life went well. I got my own room, although all it had was a bed and a desk,
I couldn‟t ask for much more with all the facilities around, such as the pool table. I declared a major
in Psychology right away. I knew that, being a founder, I would have to provide a lot for my children,
their children and the generations to come. My dream was to become a Media Magnet but I chose
Psychology because I knew I had to secure an education bookcase for my family first. After all, the
most important thing to me is passing down knowledge to my family.
Between making friends, skilling and avoiding creepers, I was a very busy young woman.

I wasn‟t at Sky long before I went down to breakfast only to spot someone who caught my eye.
I remember walking into the dinning hall, intent on getting my breakfast and racing off to class. One
sight of Pong Cox stopped me in my tracks. It wasn‟t his crazy punk outfit, or even his attractive face
that caught my attention. I felt a surge of energy and my heart swelled as I noticed his fit body and his
obvious work ethic. I just had to talk to him.

When I came in to eat lunch, I was focused on getting food and then going to skill some more but
when I searched for a place to sit, there was Pong! My heart started racing as I walked over but I
sucked up my nerves to make a confident stand, “Can I sit here?”
Pong looked up at me and said with a certain distinction, “I don‟t see why not.”
At those words, I felt like my heart filled. I sat down and we began talking about being new to the
area. It was nice to have someone who finally seemed to be interested more in philosophical questions
than simple small talk like I am (Why are we here? Is it really possible to see a ghost? What would it
feel like to become a different creature?)

Pong and I hung out later that night. It was great getting to know him better. He seemed a lot like me
and was very skilled, something that would be invaluable for supporting a family in the future. I
wasn‟t quite thinking that far into the future at that particular moment but I guess being a (secondary)
family sim didn‟t help the daydreams about weddings and babies stay completely off my mind. They
seemed to plague me the worst while I was writing term papers and sometimes even in class!

~I thought Pong was so perfect for her. Later on I had her ask him his zodiac sign for
sake of personality (I don’t want the kids to be slobs.) Turns out he’s a Sagittarius ,
they’re not very neat  But then again has astrology ever been very accurate?~

I was so flustered. My hands were shaking and sweating and I couldn‟t help but feel overwhelmed.
However, I had to make a move. I started with a subtle flirt, which he seemed to like and ended with
asking him out. He did admit that he thought I was hot. My chest leapt when he said yes to a date! I
was suddenly overcome by all these desires to get to know him better and go out to have some dinner.
The date did get out to a good start.

Then Pong locked himself inside his room DURING OUR DATE! The result? A good date from his
point of view. I had no idea where that came from. I worried that I had maybe screwed up but I
rationalized that I was in a wonderful mood already so things couldn‟t get too much better. I needed to
skill and work toward a 4.0 anyway, so it was probably for the best in the end.

~*Sigh* I know it was the game’s fault, not Pong’s but I couldn’t help holding it against
him for a while. If this had happened IRL it would’ve been a terrible date!~

Eventually I forgave Pong. He told me that he was really tired that night and he used all the energy
he had to walk up to his room. We talked and flirted a little bit in the gaming room until I felt
something more for him. I started to really like Pong. I hoped we could be more than just friends and I
also felt we were meant to be together. A rush of energy came up through my chest like I had never
felt before and gave me the courage to ask him on another date.
We explored the campus and town a little. It was so much fun! We played chess in the bookstore,
got some coffee at the café and finally found this cute ice and roller skating rink with a shop and a
restaurant! We were relieved because we were so hungry but when we got there we realized we were
poor students and shouldn‟t waste our money on food.

So we ran around exploring like the crazy knowledge sims we are and took pictures. Pong was being
so romantic that night. After we took pictures together we walked outside and admired the beauty of
the beautiful garden and lovely trees.

And underneath weeping willow tree, we had our first kiss! In that moment, it almost seemed like
that night could last forever. My heart was beating so fast with anticipation and in the second it took
me to realize what was happening, it had slowed to a delicate rhythm of continent. It was as if for that
brief time we had together, life was truly magical.

I wanted that night to last forever but we both were tired, hungry and had work to do. The moonlit
pavement we walked down seemed to go on forever until we arrived at our dorm. In the end, it was
too short.

The next morning, Pong and I were having a peaceful breakfast together when…

The dining staff actually caught the kitchen on fire! I couldn‟t think of anything more awful that
could have happened. Luckily, there were sprinklers installed that doused the fire in seconds.

That day wasn‟t too bad in the end. I perfected my xylophone shot that night on the pool table. I also
started making progress with befriending others who lived in my dorm. It was the end to my freshman
year as well. I came out on the Dean‟s list and kept a 4.0.

See that guy up in the right hand corner? That‟s Christopher. My dorm mates and I all wondered
why he wasn‟t given the name Goopy because we were all compelled to call him that. Doesn‟t he just
look like a Goopy?
I was going on some outings and racking up friends during my sophomore year.

It wasn‟t just my friendships that grew early in that year, but my feelings for Pong grew as well. I
knew it, I adored him and it could only be true love!
We had a date that seemed like it could have only been made of dreams at a beautiful park with a
restaurant. I will never forget how we got so caught up in each other that we danced the night away.
It‟s obvious that the creepers didn‟t stop either, just look at that creeper watching us make-out!

This just goes to show how chaotic living in a dorm was at times. I was skilling at the mirror when a
fight broke out just very randomly in the middle of the study area. As you can see, someone left their
dirty plate on the table. That plate seriously was never cleaned up. I wondered why the university
hadn‟t hired anyone to clean up the dorms in other places than in the dining hall.

On a winter night near the end of my sophomore year, a mysterious limo pulled up in front of the dorm. I was going
to clean the toilet to gain some more cleaning skill when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around to see a girl in a
familiar looking suit headed straight toward me. She did some sort of chicken dance and poked me. “Owww!” I
exclaimed, “What did you do that for?”
“We‟re going to have to take you in,” she said.
“Huh? Why? What did I do?” She grabbed my hand and pulled it behind my back. I turned around “Stop that!” I
yelled. Before I knew it she had me handcuffed and began to drag me outside. I was so scared. What was happening?
My heart was racing. We went outside in the ice cold. There was a limo waiting there at the front. “Wait! At least let
me get my jacket on!”
“You can put it on in the limo,” she said, dragging me down the steps and to toward the limo. She opened the door to
the back of the limo and shoved me inside. I had no idea where we were going but there was a mysterious person in the
limo that helped me get the cuffs off.

The limo seemed to drive for ages, getting farther and farther away from civilization until we were
out in the middle of nowhere. Then I saw this huge mansion and the limo stopped right in front of it. I
sat there for a second overcome by what was happening then I got out and who did I see but my
friends April, Mehrissa and Darren with my future friends Destry and Ocean. They were all wearing
the same suit and they handed me one of my own. “Welcome to the Secret Society of Sky,” they said,
“you‟re now one of us since we know we can trust you. Feel free to explore the mansion.”
I did explore the mansion. They had all sorts of interesting things to help Sims skill and make
money. I gained all sorts of skills from the objects they had there. When I was done exploring I
hugged April, “Oh April this is so wonderful! I‟m so honored to be your friend.”
“Me too. I‟m glad that you were able to be a part of us. I‟ve been telling the guys about you for
some time.”

One of those guys happened to be a guy by the name of Destry. He had been staring at me from
across the room. My heart leapt when I looked at him. And we met eyes He was quite a bit more fit
and hard working than Pong, I could tell. He was a lot like me as well. We even agreed about our
stances on pollution! For that night, I forgot about Pong. I felt like I was falling for Destry. We just
had so much in common, I couldn‟t stop talking to him or complimenting him. His personality is what
won me over. Unlike Pong, Destry was more relaxed and clean. He seemed like someone that would
be more to himself but he opened up to me and that fact about him made me feel very special.

~Destry is obviously a knowledge sim and he’s a Virgo and they’re my favorite sims.
At least their children would be neat. He only has 2 skills vs. Pong’s 3. But seriously,
was she trying to start an uglacy here?~

I stayed at the secret society house for another day, until my final exam and even got a ride home
from that in the limo. That ride seemed like one of the longest rides of my life. Thoughts of Destry
had taken over my head, it was as if he was seeping into my very being. I knew it sounded bad, but I
thought he was the man I wanted my kids to be like, not Pong. I felt terrible though, Pong was my
boyfriend! I couldn‟t let some guy I had just met get in the way of that. What was I going to do? I felt
like I couldn‟t live not knowing what life would be like without either of them but that obviously
wouldn‟t be fair, I had to settle down sometime. What was I going to do? I had a 4.0, surely I could
figure this out!
The thoughts continued to torture me until the limo pulled up to my dorm. Reluctantly, I got out.
Now what? Should I tell Pong, should I just try to forget Destry?

I went to eat breakfast but Pong wasn‟t there. As I was easting, I noticed the mailman bringing a strange package.

I immediately went to check the mail when I was done eating and found a letter that had glitter dust and hearts all over it. I opened it immediately
and read it. I said:

“Dear Katrina,
I had fun, I hope you know
That dating you was good
And if you wonder,
“Should I ask again?”
I say you should
Love,

Pong”

My heart filled with joy! I loved Pong, I really did. „How could I have even considered being with another man?‟ I thought.

I spent most of that semester cleaning other people‟s messes for cleaning skill points, studying and
maximizing my creativity skill. It was work, work, work for me. I guess in a way I buried my
conflicting feelings in my work.

One day, the worker in the dining hall caught the kitchen on fire twice, not just in one day but one
fire right after the other! I know most sims are that bright when it comes to cooking, even when they
are maximized in their cooking skill but this was just ridiculous! I can understand a fire ever so often
but twice consecutively is just going too far. Those who start fires, deserve to get fired.

After what seemed like an eternity of working my butt off, I finally saw Pong again.
I was having dinner and bumped into him just before leaving, literately. I looked up and my heart
leapt. “Pong!” I exclaimed.
“Katrina!” he said, “I haven‟t seen you in a while are things going okay?”
“Yeah I‟ve just been really busy trying to skill and get my term paper done, you know, the usual
stuff.”
“Well are you free right now? I know an awesome place we could go.”
And just like that, Pong swept me away for a date.

Pong insisted on going to Downtown Legacyland. It was a new part of town, just built so he just had
to check it out. I loved exploring new places so I was excited. He said he wasn‟t quite sure where
exactly we should go so we asked the taxi driver. He said “There‟s quite a few poppin clubs around
town, I‟ll just take you to my favorite.” A thrill rushed over me when I thought about dancing with
Pong a sort of „This will be fun‟ attitude.
When we got there we saw it had this sleek almost futuristic look to it. Too bad because the place
was dead!
“I know,” Pong said, “we can just make our own fun…”

~I downloaded this lot from Holy Simoly.~

Pong and I ran around exploring the place, we even met a vampire! Well, I did, Pong was too scared
to talk to him. I didn‟t know where he went while I was talking to Count Marcel but I soon found out
when he came back outside and dragged me inside and away from Marcel.
Once we got inside he led me into a little side room where he started kissing me heavily. We stopped
only to look at each other and giggle. There was a photo booth to our right.
Still giggling and kissing, we hastily made our way into the photo booth. We both knew this was
coming but there were no double beds in the dorms so we weren‟t able to there…

It was a little awkward and cramped but at least it was more spacious than a car (which was what we
were thinking until we remembered that neither of us owned a car, nor was there one parked outside).
Since there was no one around we weren‟t too worried about it being too public, besides…the bigger
the risk, the bigger the thrill. Ah…my first woohoo. „That‟s what I call fun‟ I thought, and I hoped we
could do it again.
Pong seemed to get an ego boast from it while I was just swooning over him. I didn‟t expect much
of a crowd, as I said the place was empty but one of the bar tenders came up to us and cheered us.
“You‟re not going to kick us out?” I asked, dumbfounded.
“No way!” she said, “That‟s the most action I‟ve seen all night!”
I couldn‟t stop smiling the whole night after that.

Despite the bar tender being cool about us woohooing in the photo booth, we decided we should go
ahead and ditch the defunct club. So we walked up the street until we found a place with an ice
skating rink. The place itself was closed but the rink was right out in the open. Being sims, we just
happened to have ice skates too.
“We‟re so sneaky aren‟t we,” I whispered to Pong.
“There‟s no need to whisper, babe,” Pong replied, “No one else is here!”
“I know right?! Oh Pong, this is so much fun!” I giggled and grabbed his hand. He then grabbed my
other hand and pulled me close to him, twirling us around.

“You know what?” he said as my heart skipped a beat, in hope that he would tell me how he felt
about me, “I should have talked to that vampire. I‟ve always thought it would be cool to become one.”
I laughed, “Yeah it would be, but you know what would be even better? To become a witch! That
would be amazing! Think of all the good you could do!”
“I would rather create chaos! Hehehe, wouldn‟t it be fun if I were an evil warlock?!” He laughed
and cackled like one would.
I giggled, “Look at you, staring into the face of a woman who just said she would do good for others
and cackling at her.”
“I guess I need to work on my cackle.”

He began to cackle again, leaning back and back and…he was falling backward and I was falling
with him as he had a hold of my hand. It was a frightening rush. I felt my heart stop my eyes widened
I began to sweat profusely and….clunk. A numbing sort of pain was felt on my arms and torso.
I didn‟t know what had happened for a second. It happened so fast. I was shaken.
“Hey Katrina,” Pong said, “You‟re okay, right?”
I was okay. I lifted my head a bit and instantly scooted over. Pong‟s ice skate had nearly sliced me!
Pong laughed, “Maybe we should go home. It is getting late.”
I pushed myself up and brushed the ice off of the front of me. I was a little disappointed at the way
the night had turned out. Don‟t get me wrong, the woohoo and the ice skating was great but I was
putting so much effort into this relationship that I wanted to know if Pong really did feel the same
way I felt about him.

I have to admit, junior year wasn‟t getting any easier. Between my newfound love for waterballoon
fights and Professor Go‟s repeated checkups on my academic well being, I had almost no social life.
My date with Pong was the only time I had really gotten out, other than going to class.

~That professor seriously came to the door and rung the bell EVERY DAY! Yet,
he kept showing disgust toward her as in, he didn’t even find her attractive! Some sims
are just so weird!~

Not to mention Destry kept calling me everyday. I guess you could say that we were best friends by
that point. I probably wouldn‟t have admitted it at the time but every time Destry called, I got so
confused. I knew I was in love with Pong but Destry made me feel special in a way that Pong didn‟t. I
never really told him much about Pong, other than the fact that he was my boyfriend but Destry
seemed to sense when Pong would upset me.
The morning after the photo booth and ice skating date, Destry told me that I was very special
woman who deserves to be told so at least once a day and loved. My heart swelled.

It was then that I decided I needed a friend to hang out with. Someone who was female (so I
wouldn‟t get any farther into this predicament) and someone who didn‟t know Destry so we didn‟t
have to talk about him. Carla lived in the same dorm as me and I always thought she was really sweet
so I invited her to the gym (which happens to have a beach and as well). We had so much fun building
a sandcastle and swimming in the ocean that I forgot about my dilemma and just enjoyed a nice sunny
day and my first swim in the ocean.

At dusk, Carla left and I worked out a little until I started walking home when I came upon a
souvenir shop and decided to go in to see what they sold. There was none other than Destry. “Hey
Katrina!” he said with a smile, “What brings you to the beach?”
My heart began racing wildly. I was a little sweaty already but I really felt this rush of warmth run
down my whole body. Here standing before me was a man who actually cared for me. A really, sweet,
driven, fit, sexy man who I didn‟t have to worry over what he felt for me. I knew.

I don‟t know what overcame me to do this but I greeted him with a kiss! A kiss that clearly showed I was
longing for him.
In that moment, the moment when we first touched lips, I felt the biggest spark I had ever felt for anyone in
my entire life. To hold him was comforting, to kiss him was welcoming. His lips seemed to be the perfect
shape to fit mine.
A moment later, I realized what I was doing. The warm rush was gone and overcome by a fiery rush of
guilt. I threw him back and stepped back, wide eyed. “Leave me alone!” was all I managed to wail out at him
through my shock. I ran out the door and back to the gym

~The stupid girl seriously did this! I guess I can’t blame her. She has 2 bolts for Destry
and only one for Pong. No one has exceeded Destry in boltage yet either. Surprisingly,
they didn’t fall in love. As much as I really like him I just can’t stop thinking about the
possibility of this turning into an uglacy due to him. At least Pong’s pretty attractive.~

What was I thinking? What was I doing? I already have a boyfriend! I’m partially a family sim, not
some kind of romance skank! All these thoughts were running through my mind and the gym was the
only place I could work off some steam form being so angry at myself. How did I let it get this far?
I didn‟t have much time to think though, shortly after, it was exam time. I was about to become a
senior.

~I’m going to conclude it here for now. I really can’t decide between Pong and
Destry and I need everyone’s help. I’ll be posting a poll and the link will be on the
story page.~
