The family went to a club for Onyx's birthday. Orchid was having a terrible day as a newly turned vampire and couldn't enjoy any activities. Blossom sang badly and slapped her own butt, while Onyx juggled tumblers at the bar and used the bubble blower. They then prepared to go to university, with Randy giving Orchid an anti-vampire gift to cure her before they left. The chapter ended by asking readers to vote for which child should be the new heir.
2. Welcome back to From the Hart!
It’s been a little while since I updated, but basically, in the last chapter, the Harts – minus
their vampire mother – went on a holiday to Three Lakes, found a bigfoot, did some
fishing, annoyed the locals and returned home. Also, all three kids got into the private
school, Blossom got chased by bees, a servo joined the family, and Randy opened a
business.
If you need to catch up, go ahead!
3. “Colourful human, your glasses are all wrong!”
“Don’t like, judge me, dude. Flashing blue is totally my thing now.”
Whenever Randy changes lot we have this problem, and he just came back from the
business. I think I might have to take his heart shaped glasses away!
Also, he brought Pony back with him for some reason, and all three of them stood
around like some sort of drive-by freak show for Orchid’s school friends.
-----------------------------
Pony writes the New Pokemon Legacy, among other things!
4. Inside the house, the robot that’s supposed to be making life easier for the Harts is
messing about with the helicopter.
I swear, all sims love that helicopter. They’re like moths to a flame.
5. Night falls, and Kana comes out to play. Or immediately start dancing. This family is
probably one of the crazier ones I’ve played lately.
I just spotted the potty in the picture, too. I bet you no one has emptied it.
6. “Wow, Pony is smoking hot!”
“Sorry, what did you say, Binaree?”
“Nothing!”
7. “I’M ATTRACTED TO A HUMAN, I CAN’T COPE!”
“For goodness sake! Randall insisted this thing would do only good for this family!”
8. Binaree then robo-passed out in the back garden, without electrocuting anyone.
We got off lightly, I think.
9. Nobody even noticed Binaree had disappeared, really, they were busy with other things.
Like hugs.
“Mum, why are you SO close to me?!”
“Can I not embrace my little girl tightly? With my teeth?”
10. Blossom stayed a vampire for a bit to save on cure potion – I’m sure Kana would only bite
her again if I cured her. So Blossom’s out hunting for bugs and enjoying the night.
Oh, and I remembered I needed to have someone repair Binaree. Thanks Brian!
11. Elsewhere, Orchid was getting out of bed and growing up, which is pretty exciting.
Also, judging from the purple and the stars, you’d think that was a kid’s room, wouldn’t
you?
Nope, it’s Randy’s.
12. She’s pretty! And different to Blossom, which I’m more pleased about, really.
Best of luck with your teen years, bad apple.

13. “What’s that over there, captain? The noble and mighty Heirship?”
Turns out, Orchid is playful, which I was unaware of until now! Hooray!
14. “FRICKIN’ BEES! AGAIN!”
Come on, Blossom, you only need two more bugs and you’ll never have to see a bee ever
again.
I’m starting to think I’m going to lose this mini-challenge.
16. “Hey Binaree, thanks for hanging out with me . It really beats hanging around the townie
pool all day.”
“No problem, Pony. I enjoy your company.”
I bet if robots could sweat, Binaree would be sweating nervously right about now.
17. “By the way, Pony, can I add that you look lovely today?”
“Aw, really? Thank you!”
I like the fact Brian is just chilling in the background.
18. And because romance was apparently in the air on this fine summer’s day, one of the
girls brought home this teenager, Lydia Chalmers. Who clearly goes to a real academy,
unlike the Hart kids.
Anyway, Blossom immediately threw two bolts for her, and I can work with that.
19. “Really, Blossom? You’re busting a move to impress her? Show some class, honestly!”
“DUDE, our family like, hasn’t got ANY class!”
20. “Well, busting a move is quite impressive, in my opinion.”
“Really? AWESOME.”
“I immediately dislike you.”
21. “Now my sister has TOTALLY gone, let me talk about how AWESOME you are!”
“Oh Blossom! How extraordinary you are!”
22. I can tell you now that Lydia is not going to fit in with this family – look, she can’t even
smustle!
Pony, meanwhile, can come back and party with the Harts anytime she likes.
23. “Hello everyone! It’s me, the cute and loveable Onyx! Did you all have great afternoons? I
totally did-”
“Who’s the chatterbox, Binaree?”
“I have no idea. I think he lives here.”
24. Anyway, Blossom scored her first kiss, which was my main reason for having her pursue
Lydia in the first place – the want has been in her panel for ages!
Chances of seeing Lydia again? Probably not likely. But who knows.
25. Outside, and there’s a couple of girls hanging around for no reason.
“Onyx is cute, so if we become best friends, we’ll grow up along side him and fall in
love!”
“He won’t be able to resist my FURIOUS SMUSTLE FACE!”
Nobody tell these girls, but Onyx has no idea they’re out here. I don’t think he even
spoke to them.
26. “I am so super relaxed right now. Nothing can ruin this moment.”
27. “Why hello there, I am Lydia Chalmers, Blossom Hart’s official first kiss. What a relaxing
way to spend an afternoon, correct?”
“Um. How about we play the quiet game?”
“Oh yes! I am so good at that game. You see, we get much practise of it at home, in the
parlour-”
“Oh jeez.”
28. “Hmm. The Countess is quite attractive.”
NO. No. No family-destroying drama. Stop it.
“Although, not as attractive as Pony.”
Better. Continue.
29. “Do you mind, master Onyx? You’re making the puddle bigger.”
“But it’s FUN! When was the last time you had fun, Binaree?”
30. “BEES. ALWAYS WITH THE BEES.”
That’s it, I’m calling it. I’ve failed the Bug Nut mini-challenge, I’m just so done with bees
and bug hunting.
My hat goes off to anyone who has managed to complete that one.
31. Elsewhere in the house, Orchid has discovered the family’s hot tub.
“I am never leaving this tub ever.”
And for the next five hours or so, she was true to her word.
32. “I ACCIDENTALLY GOT WET WHEN I CLEANED THE SHOWER AND I LIKE
HUMANS! PANIC!”
You know, before Binaree, I couldn’t remember the last time I’d had a servo run amok.
Now it’s practically routine.
34. “Little green human? No helicopter while I fix Binaree? It’s very difficult.”
“But I love the helicopter! And I love fun! And you Brian!”
“Well, that is great, but I can’t concentrate.”
It’s a wonder anyone in this house can concentrate, ever.
35. “I peed myself and also my pancakes taste funny. Everything is terrible.”
It’s not a good day to be a bad apple.
36. “Right, stop everything and look at me! It’s my birthday! Aren’t you excited? I’m pretty
excited, everyone else is a teen and finally I get to be a teen and-”
37. “Onyx, dude, what are we waiting for?”
“Orchid. She needs to pay attention to me.”
38. “I’m adorable!”
He really is. I’m not sure if there’s much of Randy in him, though.

39. “What a mesmerizing purple light…”
“Hey, er, Mum, why don’t you TOTALLY bite me instead? Cool, right?”
Well, crap. The thing I feared happening happened, all because my attention was
elsewhere.
Ugh.
40. “Isn’t being a creature of the night wonderful, Orchid?”
“I’m in hell.”
UGH.
41. “Cake or death! Bleh!”
Well, things are a teeny bit screwed up here. See, I can’t control Orchid to cure her or put
her in a coffin, so she’ll die if I leave her alone. I can’t move her to college because the
bad apple has to stay home until two days until growing up, only she’s not aging at all
now.
So which rule do I break?
The Hart kids are going to college! Early!
42. Well, I decided the kids could go out for Onyx’s birthday first, and then go to uni. But you
get the idea.
So we’re off to the Tacky Flamingo, which I suppose would technically count as a business
rival to Randy and his club.
43. “KACHOW!”
“DOUBLE KACHOW!”
So much finger-gunning! That said, I haven’t ever seen Orchid finger-gun, so she must be
a little bit shyer than her siblings.
It’s not hard to be shyer than Blossom and Onyx, both have 10 outgoing points.
49. “These vending machines don’t stock plasma juice! What am I supposed to eat?! This is
DISCRIMINATION!”
50. “I am having the worst day ever!”
After peeing yourself, eating icky pancakes and becoming a starving teenage vampire in a
club, I’d agree.
She’s cute, though, right?
51. Blossom! I turn my back for two minutes! What would your father say?
Who am I kidding, he would almost definitely join in.
52. “Kid, you’re juggling tumblers. You’re definitely underage.”
“I’ll have you know all the coolest adults juggle, lady. But just in case, I’m going to go
elsewhere now. Nice talking to you!”
“I don’t get paid enough for this.”
53. After harassing the bartender, Onyx decided to try out the bubble blower.
They’ve got one at home, so using one in a club is no different, right? Right?
54. Blossom, meanwhile, had stopped singing and slapping her own butt, much to everyone’s
relief, and had found the pinball machine.
Far more age-appropriate, if you ask me.
55. There was only one Hart kid not having a good time.
“Cheer up, Orchid, we’re best friends!”
56. “And we’re all off to uni in an hour or so, and we’ll get you fixed right up! You won’t be a
vampire anymore, even though I think it’s kinda cool. Well, really cool, actually. I wonder
if Mum would bite me…”
57. Orchid then gave her siblings a super nice smile.
So she must be super-stocked up in nice points, right? Hooray for slowly deciphering her
personality!
58. After that, the kids went back home and started to prepare for uni.
“What’s this Dad? A going away present?”
“Nah, it’s some anti-vamp junk for your sister, dude.”
59. “I randomly made some lobster thermidor, as a going away meal!”
No one is hungry right now, even Orchid ate cake!
“PONY WOULD APPRECIATE IT.”
60.
61. And that’s it for this chapter, and Randy’s generation!
But before you go, you might be interested in helping us settle on an heir...

score her first kiss, do well in school and get a scholarship for dancing.
63. Orchid Hart

Onyx is a happy little chatterbox, who barely lets anyone get a word in edgeways. He only
got to enjoy six hours of being a teenager, and will probably have to make up for this at
university. Once graduating, Onyx will become every creature possible in the game.
