Chapter 2.7

Last chapter Kenneth and Sun Young concluded their vacation in China! Let’s see what kind of mayhem they came home to. 🙂

Screaming babies and bad parenting by your favourite Kook. Way to go Ben.

Ben: Maybe it will stop screaming if I don’t look at it.

Just look after the poor kids!

Kenneth had to go to work as soon as he got back to town and Sun Young happened to be dropped off at the local pool instead of the house. Please don’t starve and drown in the pool! We need you!

Also, I took a peek at her LTW. Yah… I don’t think she’ll be completing it.

As usual, Cindy is doing nothing to help around the house and is just being her normal lazy self.

At least Ben eventually gets around to feeding the children. Poor kids, since Mckenna and Lee are not eligible heirs they get neglected. Neither one has learned any of the toddler skills so far.

Oh, look who decided to head home and get some food! Keep your eyes on the road Cabbie!

Sun Young: I’m so hungry! I really hope this is the right house, I need to eat!

Then go eat! Gah!

Ben: So Cindy, you’re getting up there in age now. When do you think my good friend Grim will be stopping by?

Cindy: How could you say such a thing! Do you WANT me to die!?

Ben: What did I do?

Cindy: Humph, I don’t want to speak to you until the day I die.

Sun Young: I hope Kenneth and I don’t end up like his parents…

Ben: Cindy, my darling, I’m sorry.

Cindy: Oh Ben, some times your words break my heart. It’s too much.

Sun Young: Just focus on the sink. I’m not listening, no, not at all. Lalalala lalala lala.

Ben and Cindy have a special kind of relationship. They fight, then make up, then fight again when they make up.

Sun Young: Oh look. A child. Why is he playing all alone?

You are amazing Sun Young! You are the first one to teach Lee any of his toddler skills!

Ben: Excuse me Sun, it’s time for Lee to go to bed! Tickle tickle!

Lee: Dada NOOOO!

Sun Young: But it’s the afternoon. I don’t understand why he needs to go to bed now.

Damn you Ben! Lee was learning skills and you just HAD to go and interrupt!

By the way, here is Kenneth in his dashing work uniform. He’s quite handsome in his uniform.

Family Update! Frankie decided he needed a pet apparently. I hope he doesn’t become a crazy cat person.And Kenneth got a promotion! Oh, and he also works with Frankie. Brother bonding time at work!

Sun Young: How was your day at work? I met your family.

Kenneth: I got a promotion! And good, I hope they didn’t do anything too crazy. Hehe.

Kenneth: So what do you say we retire to the bedroom. *Wink wink*

We need to get this legacy moving! 😀

Look! Cindy is actually doing something!

Ben: Just help me put the kids to bed, then you can watch your shows or read or whatever.

Cindy: Where are their parents? Why am I dong this? My baby days are over.

I wouldn’t be so sure Cindy! Are there more grand-babies on the way? 😀

More Family Updates! Frankie was apparently dating Naomi and they broke up. Why can’t this family keep relationships?Anakin is being a creeper and stalking his ex lover.Then he gets a new lover, Lina Lancaster. And she’s not an Elder! I really hope Anakin and Frankie have some children.And then Anakin goes back to stalking his ex-lover again.

Sun Young has also decided she likes to paint. No one but Frankie ever used it anyway.

Someone has an upset tummy! Could it mean babies?

So at some point a stray cat wandered into the house and would not leave. He’s just so cute so the Kooks adopted him and renamed his Salem. 🙂

I’ve always wanted a black cat.

Dusty: Cat? What cat? Where’s the cat?!

Awe, Dusty is looking so old! He’s over 120 days now!

But Salem is just so cute! Look at him play in the bathtub!

He and Sun Young started to become friends. He’s a sweet little cat. Welcome to the family!

Here’s a random shot of Ben sleeping on the couch. Cindy is in the bed so he can’t sleep there apparently.

Dusty: I like leaves! I like to chase them all over the yard!

Salem: You should chase rodents with me. Rid the world of them, it is our duty!

It’s confirmed! Sun Young is pregnant! Prepare for cute babies! 😀

And what’s a chapter of the Kooks without an alien abduction? They got Kenneth again, however I am happy to report no hanky-panky went on.

Kenneth works on his Martial Arts skill any chance he gets. Soon he will have to deal with a new baby!

I think this is one of the nicest maternity outfits I’ve seen on my sims, ever. Just saying. 😉

Sun Young is such a caring sim! She brushes Dusty all the time, play with Salem, and even looks after children who are not her own without complaint. Good choice for wife material if I do say so myself. 🙂

At some point there was an emergency at work and Kenneth saved the day!That resulted in a promotion. 😀 More monies makes for happy Kooks.I was checking on Sun Young (she has a couple books in her inventory I wanted) and I noticed this wish. What is with this family and your alien fetishes!? I didn’t lock in the wish for obvious reasons.Why is Frankie dating Naomi again and why is she an elder now? Story Progression hates this family. Oh, and his picture wouldn’t render, so I improvised. 🙂

Back to the main family! They make a cute couple. I can’t wait to see their babies!

Speaking of which…. 😀

Kenneth: AHHHH!!! What do I do?! What do I DO!?

Ben: What’s wrong with her? Why is she screaming? DO SOMETHING!

Oh yah! I don’t think Ben was around for the birth of his sons, except for Frankie since he gave birth to him. Welcome to child bearing Ben!

Sun Young: I swear, if you don’t drive faster that 20 km/hr I will Sim Fu Chop you all the way back to China!

Kenneth: I’m going as fast as I can! I don’t want to scratch my car!

Kenneth: Um, we’re here.

Sun Young: You know, I think I’ll just levitate here for a while. It helps with the contractions!

Hooray for glitches.

Eventually she made it to the sidewalk and then to the hospital.

Random Sim: OH MY PLUMBOB! She’s gonna burst! Get her to a hospital!

Sun Young: I would already be in the hospital if you would get out of my way!

Note to self, have a home birth next time. So much easier.

Frankie: What do you mean I can’t go in? I wanna see the baby too!

Go away Frankie! Must you be involved in everything?

Sun Young has a little girl! She named her Kimberly since her last name used to be “Kim”, but I changed the hyphenated last name to be just “Kook” again. (+5 points!)

Since Kimberly is an eligible heir she got the insane trait. 🙂

Frankie: Yes! I got to see my new niece! Score!

Sun Young: Now where is Ken with the car? His brother is upsetting Kim!

Well that’s all for this chapter! Next chapter… BIRTHDAYS! 😀

Chapter 2.6

Welcome back to the Kooks, and guess what? We have a wedding to attend! How are you feeling Kenneth?

Kenneth: Okay, I guess. Wish my parents were here…

Yah, sorry about that buddy. The only downfall of a “Destination Wedding” in China. 😉

At least Sun Young’s family is here! This is her brother’s back. I don’t think I captured his face.

Kenneth: So I was looking at this feather pen for the guests to sign the guest book with but then I couldn’t find a guest book I liked the look of. Wedding planning is so hard.

Sun Young’s Brother who I forget the name of: Right… I thought women mainly did the wedding planning? *Gives Ken a shifty eyed look*

And this is Sun Young’s brother’s wife, again, I forget her name.

Kenneth: Wow, good looks sure do run in this family!

Brother’s wife: Um, I’m married into the family, but thanks! You’re not bad looking yourself!

They honestly heart farted each other moments before the wedding. Sims! *Face palm*

And here is the beautiful wedding venue I set up in the base camp! Yes I used a cheat to edit the lot, but no, I did not use money cheats. The Kooks happen to be a bit rich right now so I splurged. 😀

Let the wedding begin!

Kenneth: My darling Sun Young, will you take me to be your lawfully wedded husband?

Sun Young: Don’t we say vows first?

Kenneth: Did you prepare any?

Sun Young: No, did you?

Kenneth: Nope.

Oh boy, we’re off to a great start! How about you just each say “I promise to love you, and cherish you, and be with you through better or for worse, till death do us part”. I think that’s how it goes…

Sun Young: Kenneth, I love you and promise to be by your side on your journey to continue your father’s legacy… oh, I think the ring is stuck.

Kenneth: You’re putting it on the wrong finger, it’s goes on the ring finger, not the middle.

Look closely at the picture, she’s totally putting it on the wrong finger. 😛

Kenneth: One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkens bind them – no wait, that’s from a movie.

Sun Young: You’re so funny!

Good going Kenneth. I hope Sun Young knows she’s marrying into an insane family. She seems pretty happy though.

The kiss to seal the deal! With only two guests in attendance to witness this happy couple tie the knot. Apparently it’s still an awesome party to Sun Young’s brother though.

Okay you love birds, you have one day left of your vacation! Are you going to go on romantic moonlit walks and have picnics in the Scholar’s Garden?

Really? You can treat this as your honeymoon you know! Why are you acting like an old couple? Like, come on! Kenneth, show your blushing bride a good time!

Kenneth: So, what do you say we head upstairs and get started on our wedding night?

Sun Young: You must have read my mind baby, that book had some ideas I want to try.

Whoa! T.M.I.! T.M.I.!

Awe, they both get the “Good Clean Fun” moodlet! Too bad pregnancies can’t occur on “vacation”.

The next day, Kenneth makes a few purchases from the local shops to remember his trip to China since it is unlikely he will ever return.

Remember that opportunity Kenneth got about learning from a Sim Fu master? Say hello to Sima Zhi, Sim Fu Master.

Let the sparing match begin!

Unfortunately, Kenneth lost since he got kicked in the face. The opportunity said to spar twice, I think he may have won the second time.

Kenneth: I am now the true Master!

Sima Zhi: Um, actually, I’m still a master of Sim Fu… so yah…

Gosh Kenneth, show us your belt!

Kenneth: But it’s boring. It should have flames on it because I’m a Master.

You are not a master yet! However, flames would be cool… I’ll see what I can do… later… if I remember. 😀

Kenneth: Hey, so, I sparred with Master Sima.

Opportunity Lady: Great! I have another task for you…

We have the time so may as well! OFF TO THE SCHOLAR’S GARDEN!

Hey, you don’t look half bad. I’m inclined to think you actually know what you’re doing! 🙂

Kenneth: I must focus on my training and calm the stirring emotions within me.

While Kenneth levels his Martial Arts Skill to level 5, Sun Young decides to work on her logic skill. She already has a couple of points. 🙂

After reaching level 5, Kenneth meditates on the bridge until the sun goes down and he stinks like rotten fish.

Kenneth: Hey! I do not!

Have you smelled yourself? Your new wife was making faces. Go take a shower man!

Kenneth: I did it! I reached enlightenment! Well, actually I meditated for a few hours like you asked. Not much happened.

Opportunity Lady: That’s good! You are on your way to becoming  master! I have one more task for you…

Did you really have a vision Kenneth?

Kenneth: No, I um, sorta made it up. He he.

Oh well. Take a quick beauty nap then it’s off to find the writings of Qin Shan Hu!

No, no, no, no, no! You are with us for less than a day and you are already costing us points Sun Young! (-5 points)

After a quick beauty rest, Kenneth goes hunting for the writings of Qin Shan Hu. A regular chip off the ol’ block! Anyone remember Ben’s adventuring days? 😀

And he found them! Go hand them in, we’re almost out of time!

What are you doing?!?!

Kenneth: I am Fire Lord Kenneth! Bow before me, the greatest Fire Bender of all time! I will defeat you Avatar!

Get out of the flames! What is with you Kooks and your need to put your life in danger when I look away!

Kenneth: I found the writings. Sorry they got a bit burnt.

Opportunity Lady: I must study these right away! Oh the teachings they are sure to hold!

And that concludes our adventure in China! Oh yah, and for some reason when Kenneth and Sun Young married their last names hyphenated. I’m not sure how I feel about that. I’ll probably change it back.

Chapter 2.5

I’m back with another update for these crazy Kooks! Last chapter Kenneth went to Shang Simla, China and learned the secrets of Sim-Fu while meeting his true love!

Kenneth: She’s not my true love. I barely even know her!

Hush you! Sun Young is your true love because I say so.

Kenneth: HA! HI-YA!

“The Master” spends time improving his skills…

GIRLY SLAP ATTACK!

Kenneth: Leave me alone while I train! Gah!

Did you just….?

Kenneth: My face! OW ow owowowowow!!!

*snort, giggle, snort* Bwahahahahaha! So how’s training going? Hahahahaha!

Kenneth: I have mastered Sim-Fu!

No, no you have not.

You’re are a yellow belt now my dear.

Kenneth: Why do I have to show off my belts?

Because it let’s me keep track of your progress!

What is this?! Who are you Shing Hong, and why are you brainwashing our Sun Young to like you?! Hurry Kenneth! You must woo Sun Young before it’s too late!

Kenneth: They’re not actually dating, so relax.

Kenneth got an opportunity! Apparently he must spar with Sima Zhi 2 times to learn more about Sim-Fu from a true master. Of course, we accept. 🙂

Kenneth: Pitiful foam board, you do not stand a chance against The Master!

Kenneth: FISTS OF FURY SMASH! HA!

Are you going to name all your moves?

Kenneth: Oh yah, who’s The Master of the Foam Board!

Let’s see you try and break a space rock. I’ll watch and laugh when you break your hand, ‘kay? 😀

Kenneth: *on phone* Hello? *pause* Hi Sun! Sure, I’ll come over right away! *click* Did you hear? Sun Young wants to hang out with me!

That’s great! But, uh, you stink. So go take a shower before you visit her.

Kenneth: The Master will triumph in love and battle!

You do know Sim-Fu is more about finding inner peace, dedication, and training, and less about kicking others butts right?

Kenneth: Ya, ya, whatever. Can I go see Sun now? And I still need to take that shower.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Kenneth has achieved his orange belt! 😀

Kenneth: Hey Sun, I can call you Sun right? Sorry I’m here so late, I had to shower after training. So yah, uhm. I’m here now!

Sun Young: It’s so late, I’m a little tired…

Smooth Kenneth, very smooth.

Sun Young: But sure! It’s only midnight, but come on in!

Oh Sim logic.

And she promptly goes to bed anyway and Kenneth automatically gets kicked out. We’ll try again tomorrow. 🙂

*The next day*

WHAT?!?!?!?! NO! This is not okay!

Kenneth: *on phone* Hey Sun! It’s Ken! Do you want to hang out today?

DAMMIT! Why? Why are none of my plans working?

Kenneth: Maybe I should look for someone else?

No! Sun Young has been chosen by The Watcher to be your legacy wife! *plots madly to get them together*

*Almost 5 sim hours later*

Sun Young: Hey Ken, I can only hang out for a bit. My boyfriend, Shing, is taking me out for a romantic dinner tonight.

Kenneth: That’s fine, it’s just great to see you and hang out finally!

Kenneth: By the way, I got these for you, as a token of our friendship.

Sun Young: They’re lovely! *Inhales deeply* Shing never gives me flowers!

Kenneth: Maybe Shing isn’t the right guy for you then?

Score! Now we can get this legacy moving again!

*After a day of spamming romantic iterations*

Kenneth: I have something to confess.

Sun Young: What is it Ken?

Kenneth: I really, really like you so here goes nothing…

First kiss is a success!

Kenneth: So, does this mean we’re dating now, or…?

Sun Young: You’re lucky you’re so cute!

You’re on a roll Kenneth! Don’t stop there!

Kenneth: For you my love, I’ll be cute, sexy, strong, handsome, or anything you need.

Kenneth seems to have a hidden Romantic trait, but they are just so cute together! 😀

Kenneth: We seem to be destined to be together and this might sound a little crazy…

Kenneth: But I have been given a task by The Watcher to continue my father’s legacy in all of it’s Kooky glory and…

Kenneth: The Watcher chose you to be the one to stand by my side on this journey! Will you marry me?

Sun Young: Oh, of course Kenneth! I am honored The Watcher chose me!

Kenneth is now engaged to beautiful Sun Young! It will be good to get some culture into this family. 🙂

Chapter 2.4

Last chapter Kenneth decided to leave the desert and the aliens behind to embark on an epic adventure!

Kenneth: More like you made me get up in the middle of the night and forced me here…

Hush! No being a sourpuss! Anyway… he decide it was time to fulfill the other half of his Lifetime Wish – learning the secret art of SIM-FU!!

Welcome to Shang Simla Kenneth!

This is the base camp where you will be living for the duration of your adventure!

Kenneth: Can’t I just read a book about Sim-Fu or something?

No! You must train at the Academy!

Kenneth: Gah! This is so pointless! Why do I have to come all the way here JUST to learn Sim-Fu?!

This is not pointless! In Shang Simla you can learn Sim-Fu, buy a training dummy, and practice with others! AND… you shall find your future wife here!

Kenneth: You mean… I get to chat up the ladies?

Of course! Chat up the ladies all you want!

Kenneth: Score!

Um, your car doesn’t really go with the tranquility of Shang Simla.

Kenneth: Hey, this is my sweet ride, and it’ll get the attention of the ladies!

It will get the attention of EVERYONE!

Kenneth: Meh.

Kenneth: So, you got any books about Sim-Fu?

Store Owner: If you want to learn the secrets of Sim-Fu you must train at the Academy! Or buy my book for $1000.

Kenneth: Whoa! No thanks! I’ll, um, go to the Academy I guess.

Told you so.

Kenneth: Don’t even!

Why are you training in your formal attire?

Kenneth: I have to look good while training!

Oh yah… you look really good. Love the moves.

Kenneth: Hiya! Ha!

Girly slap attack!

Kenneth: Go away!

Oh look! A pretty Sim-Fu student who could probably kick your butt!

Kenneth: I am the MASTER!

Where’s your new belt?

Kenneth: Come on! It’s all white! I look dumb!

Quit whining and go talk to that girl over there!Kenneth: Hey cutie, what’s your name?

Girl I didn’t catch name of: Awe, a new student! I’d love to spar with you. *Wink*

Kenneth: Could I have your email? Maybe we could chat online sometime.

Get out of the way Sim-Fu man! Gah!

KENNETH!!! Pretty girl alert! Go talk to her now!

Kenneth: Hello, beautiful!

Sun Young: Aren’t you a charmer.

Yes! Kenneth has just as much luck with the ladies as Ben! 😀

I’ll leave them to chat each other up a bit. 😉

They even have compatible signs! It’s a match made in heaven! 😀

So Kenneth, how did you like Sun Young?

Kenneth: She’s great. Pretty, smart, into Sim-Fu, likes me…

Well good, because I’ve decided she is going to be your wife!

Kenneth: *choke* What?!

You heard me!

Kenneth: *has a coughing fit* You decided that quickly? Don’t I get a say?

Um, you just did. You like her, she likes you. It’s perfect!

Awe, he even dreams about her at night!

A/N: I know this was a really short chapter, but after going through more of my screen shots they work perfectly into two longer chapters! So stay tuned for more Kookiness to come! 😀
