12.Toad Butler


The Pendragon Legacy

Toad Butler


The teens were becoming tired of picking up the slack for their parents.


With all the homework, after school activities and the constant emotional roller-coaster ride that both parents were now on, the teens hoped the end was in sight.


They were doing the story telling still and the younger children were coming to terms with the change.

Moss:  You know you are getting really good at this sis.

Clare: Why thank you Moss.



Luckily Butler Michael was picking up the slack with the cooking.

Peanut: Where’s mine?  I want a cheese burger!


Galen: I have nothing to wear!  Why hasn’t the washing been done?  Clare!  Get the laundry sorted!


Clare:  But Dad, I’m working out!  Can’t someone else do it?

Galen: NOW!


Clare:  Stupid parents.  Stupid laundry.  Why do I have to do it!

Destiny: Ha ha!  You have to do chores!

Clare:  Just you wait until you’re a teenager missy.

Destiny: I shan’t do chores, I’m too special.


Clare: I’m walking away from that little brat before I do some damage!


Destiny: You want to know a secret Snuggles?


Destiny: Clare is a stinky head!  Hahahaha!


Just as I thought Galen was getting back to normal...

Galen: Sorry kid gotta run.  Your brother will be up to feed you soon.


Galen: Ohhh!  Look at them all!  Even my wrinkles have wrinkles!  It’s not fair!


Martin: Don’t worry Grayson, I’m here.


Clare and Julian were also helping with the new arrivals.

Julian:  You seem to be warming to children sis?

Clare:  These ones like me!


Galen: I feel so fat!

Kami: Pop over to the salon and get yourself a makeover.  It will make you feel loads better.

Galen: But how can I go out looking like this?

Kami:  Don’t worry It’s pouring with rain.  No one will notice you under your brolly.


So Galen headed to the salon hoping that what Kami suggested would help.


However, when he arrived the stylist in session was Orion Lawless, the lad that had asked Clare out at the prom and who she hadn’t called since.


Galen: Hey Orion.  Look, sorry Clare hasn’t called.  She’s kind of a free spirit you know.

Orion: No worries Mr P.  Let’s get to work shall we?  Now how do you feel about spandex?

Galen: *Gulp*


Well it wasn’t disastrous and there was no spandex.

Galen: It’s a little dull don’t you think?

Orion: Well, it’s my first shift. After school job you see.  I’m sorry you don’t like it.


Galen: I should have known, I mean look at your outfit!  Pahahaha!

Orion: Urm yeah.  Uh could I get a photo of you anyway Mr P.  For my portfolio?

Galen:  Sure kid, you’ve cheered me right up!  Kami was right this did make me feel better!


Back at home Kami had got tired of the flirting from Butler Michael and decided to take action.


Kami: I’m a married woman!  Maybe this will teach you to mind your manners!

Oh dear :/  I hope we don’t have to get a new butler!



Butler Michael: Come on sweetie, let get you to bed.

Destiny: Butler? Why is you a froggie?

Butler Michael: Sometimes these things happen kiddo.

Destiny: Do you eat flies?

Butler Michael: Urm… no more questions now.  Time for bed.


It was time for Grayson and Jonas to become toddlers!


First Grayson


Clare: Stop blowing that damn trumpet and let us get to the cake!


Butler Michael: Does nobody want cake?  Oh well, I’ll pop it in the fridge then.


Echo & Purple Haired Guy: Hey!  Where’s the cake!


Clare: Right, there is another cake.  You get in the way again greenie and you are in serious trouble!


And then it was time for Jonas to become a toddler.


Clare: Don’t you touch that cake Butler Michael!

Green Haired Girl: I’ll just stand back here out of the way.  These guys get real touchy about cake!


Here is toddler Jonas!


Grayson had headed outside and was hiding in the bushes.

Grayson: They will never find me here.


Grayson:  Oh yeah, walked straight past!


Grayson: Wait.  Someone’s coming.


Julian: Found you!

Grayson: It tickles!!


Kami was reaching the end of her mid-life crisis and the mood swings were calming down.  However the kids still weren’t sure of how to act.

Kami: Hey Moss, need some help?

Moss: Urm, no thanks mum.  Got it covered.


Destiny wasn’t too keen on not being the only toddler anymore.


Destiny: Brudda, am I still your bestist sister.

Martin: Now Destiny I love all my brothers and sisters the same.

Destiny: *pouts*


Destiny: I is still your favourite, froggy?

Butler Michael:  Of course sweetheart.

Destiny: Good.


Galen retrieved Grayson who has sneaked into the garden again.


Unfortunately Butler Michael got side-tracked by Moss wanting a bedtime story and left Destiny in the garden.


Destiny: Froggy?  It’s dark, I’m scared.  Come back!


Destiny: What if no one ever finds me!


Destiny: Wait!  Someone is coming!


Clare: What are you doing out here in the dark?

Destiny: Froggy left me.


Clare: Well let’s get you off to bed shall we?

Destiny: Yes please.


Clare: Butler Michael, how could you just leave Destiny outside in the dark!  Anything could have happened!

Butler Michael:  I’m sorry, I didn’t think.


Clare: Well best you had next time!


Butler Michael:  Finally they are getting along!

Moss:  You mean you did it on purpose?


Butler Michael: Of course!  Now let get you that bedtime story.

Moss:  Adults are weird.


Galen stood in astonishment as he saw Clare putting Destiny to bed.


Clare: Good night little sis.

Destiny: Don’t go I’m sorry I was mean!

Clare:  I’ll be here tomorrow.  Now you get some sleep.


Clare felt good that Destiny now trusted her.  As the only girls she had always hoped they would have a special bond and now, finally there was a chance that could happen.


Julian was awoken buy Dillon and Moss’s usual squabbling.


Dillon: I am so a better scout than you!

Moss: Are not.

Dillon: Am so!


Moss: Well check this out.


Moss: New badge!


Dillon: And what’s that for then?

Moss: I helped elderly sims cross the street.

Dillon: Bet they didn’t even want to cross!

Moss: Did so!


Dillon: Well I got two new badges.

Moss: What!

Dillon: One for arts and crafts and one for helping those poor old sims back across the street after you dragged them in the wrong direction.


Moss: Arrgghh!  You are such a show off!

Dillon:  Takes one to know one.

Julian: Right you two, enough!  Bed!


Dillon: Heh!  I totally showed him I’m the better scout.


Moss: Next week I’m gonna get three badges and wipe that stupid smile of his face!


Julian: Right that’s those two sorted now for a quick boogie before heading back to bed.


With Kami almost back to her normal self; Clare was able to get in some ballet practice.


Despite his new outfit Galen was still paranoid about his wrinkles.


Kami was delighted to find Butler Michael had made chocolate gnomes in an attempt to gain her forgiveness and possibly his own head back.


Galen decided it was time to work out and get rid of some of the mid-life flab.


Kami finally took Merlin out for a chat.


Galen: Whew, that was hard work.

You’ve only been at it 10 minutes!

Galen: Give me a break I’m old!

I’m really not looking forward to you becoming an elder.


Destiny: Feed me first, I’m more important!

Julian: You are all as important as each other Destiny.

Grayson: Not hungry anyways.


Destiny: You stole Peanut!

Grayson: Did not this is Wiggles.

Destiny: Can I play with him?

Grayson: Noes yous mean.


It was finally time for Destiny’s birthday.


Destiny: Yay, finally I’ll have power!

:/


I wonder what Destiny will be like as a child!
