It's ON, Phoebe!

Allen was promoted to General Practitioner, meaning he gets to wear a fancy lab coat. :D
He is halfway towards reaching his Lifetime Want of becoming Chief of Staff.
He is also much closer than his colleague Phoebe. Really, she doesn't stand a chance.

We can work something out...

Jason invited his girlfriend Elle to move in, so the two could plan their wedding.
Oddly enough, his lifetime ambition is to become Captain Hero; hers is to become a Criminal Mastermind.
???
How is that gonna work?
What if he accidentally arrests her?
"Oh...hi, honey."

Wedding time! It was a small ceremony in the Cummings' backyard, and only Jason's siblings were present, but it was a great party, and Elle became Elle Cummings.

Dang, I just realized what a crappy wedding this is. It looks like they're out on the tundra. But nobody seemed to mind.

Love is...electrocuting your bride and following it up with, "It was just a joke!"

The Cummings remain rather unexciting

Allen was promoted to Intern and Sheila got an A+ in school. Allen also hired a nanny to take care of his daughter. The nanny lasted about one day.
To Sheila's delight, there was a now day, and she got to spend some time with her new hired friend.



Sheila's birthday finally came and she invited her brothers and Jared's fiancee Dominic to party with her and Allen.



She grew up well, choosing the Popularity aspiration, and deciding to become a general when she got older.



The best part of her birthday, however, was shared with her best friend and new boyfriend Terrance Stevens.

Cummings family update

Allen was eventually promoted to Nurse and one step closer to becoming Chief of Staff. He hasn't talked to Pheobe in a while, but that won't stop him, probably.
He's now bringing home 476 Simoleons a day, but with the twins going off to University soon, it's almost like he won't be needing it.



Jared's internal conflict was resolved when he finally asked Dominic out. The two ended up falling in love and are now going steady. Both of their families are fully supportive.



Jared got an A+ and the SimCity Scholar Grant, but didn't get promoted in his job as a Security Guard.
Jason didn't have his brothers luck with grades, but did get promoted to the top of the Culinary career track as a Fast Food Manager. He received the Young Entrepreneurs Scholarship.



Nothing much happened with Sheila, though she is quite adept at catching butterflies now.



As we finish off the first rotation, we'll send some young sims off to college and start over again with the Jorgens.

Be a man, Allen

Delilah O'Keefe had a nasty habit: she found it amusing to break into people's houses, shove around the inhabitants, rearrange their furniture, and then laugh at the whole ordeal.



Here she is roughing up Jared. Jared refused to take that kind of crap from her, and shoved her back.



Delilah then turned her sights on Allen and shoved him around a little bit, in front of the fireflies. The fireflies, of course, were terrified.



Allen, the family rock, started bawling. Yeah, Allen, that'll teach her to respect you.

Meet the Cummings family

Allen Cummings, his wife Jane, and their twin sons Jared and Jason had been living contentedly in Riverblossom Hills for quite some time when Jane found out something shocking: she was pregnant again.
This, of course, should not have been a shocking thing. Allen and Jane were intimate much of the time.
But Allen had had a vasectomy after the birth of the twins.
Filled with shame, Jane left shortly after giving birth to a daughter, Sheila. Allen was heartbroken, but knew his children were depending on him.
After struggling to support his family through various odd jobs, Allen was finally promised a successful career in the Medicine track by a good friend. The only catch: the Cummings family would have to move to Blueberry Meadows.



Allen was a Knowledge Aquarius who'd finally gotten his dream job: working as an Emergency Room Tech in the local hospital. His life time goal was to some day be promoted to Chief of Staff. Though it had been several years after Jane's departure, he hadn't been on a single date. He had his eye on his neighbor Pheobe Chandler, who was also a Knowledge Sim in the Medical Career, but she was married.



Twins Jason and Jared didn't have much in common besides looks and aspirations (both were Popularity Sims). Jared was a Leo who wanted to become a celebrity chef. Jason was an Aquarius, like his dad, and wanted to be a Captain Hero. Another difference between the two was their sexuality: Jared wasn't "gay", but he had kissed Dominic Chandler.... Both teens had gotten jobs in their desired career tracks to help out their dad.



Sheila was the spitting image of her mom, Jane, but her dad didn't seem to mind. She was a very well-adjusted Cancer who learned new skills rapidly.



Ralph Jorgen, who knew EVERYONE in the neighborhood, quickly introduced himself to Allen. He invited his family to spend time with their new neighbor, but it ended up just being him and Allen...alone...by themselves.
Luckily, the meal was far from romantic.
