Darlene had gotten a letter from the science center saying that they believed she was talking to a real being and they wanted to help her make him real. Her parents seemed to think she was a little nuts, although they never said so. All she had to do was find a rainbow gem and bring it to the science center and they would make her a potion that could make David real. So most days she was not at school she was riding her bike all over town picking up every rock or gem she could find.

Then one day she finally found the rainbow gem. She was so excited! All she could think is that now she would finally have her best friend as a human.

She immediately set off for the science center.

After a few hours she finally had the potion in her possession!

She rushed home to see David. "David, David!!! If you drink this you will be human!" David seemed a little uncertain. "Are you sure?"

"Okay, here goes nothing."

Darlene was a little confused at what happened next. Was this what was supposed to happen? It went on for a very long time.

Then suddenly there was a boy standing in front of her. "David?"

"Yeah! It worked!" "I'm so glad!" Darlene said as she hugged him.

Darlene thought he was pretty cute as a human, although she didn't say that to him. He has the traits Snob, Equestrian and Computer Whiz.

It was somewhat complicated for Darlene to explain to her parents who this new kid was. They didn't believe her at first that he had been her Imaginary Friend. She finally pulled out the letter from the science center to show them. That didn't really convince them because they thought it was some kind of elaborate scam. Although they couldn't figure out what the point of the scam might be. Dante even called up the science center to find out if they had even sent the letter. The head scientist there assured him that it was a real phenomena that children sometimes had Imaginary Friends who were more than just imagination. He confirmed that they had given his daughter, Darlene, a potion that afternoon. He explained to Dante that they were studying the phenomena and many of the scientists had children who had Imaginary Friends who were now human. He told Dante that he had a cousin named Jason Taylor whose son had even married his Imaginary Friend and they had children. "What?" Dante exclaimed in disbelief. "How is that even possible?" "Once our potion makes them human they are as completely human as you or I." Dante looked across the room where his daughter was talking to the odd little boy. Somehow that information did not make him feel any better. After hanging up with the scientist he explained everything to Heather, who was equally amazed. "Now what?" she asked. "Well, I guess he stays with us. We don't have any money to get him a bed or anything like that though. Where can he sleep?" Finally Heather came up with the idea of him using the sleeping bag they still had from when they had first moved in.
Not too long after she had given the potion to David it was time for Darlene to become a teen. (And for some reason a lot of my sims have their birthdays in the bathroom.)

Heather could hardly believe it was time for her little girl to be a teenager. Time seemed to be flying by so fast.

Darlene gained the trait light-sleeper when she became a teen.

David followed not long after in becoming a teen. (Again in the bathroom. Seriously, why?)

He looks like he's up to something, doesn't he?

As a teen he gained the trait Rebellious. Maybe that's why he looked like he was up to something.

Meanwhile Eerie and Mittens had gotten very friendly.

So one afternoon Mittens went into labor.

She gave birth to one kitten.

Keira liked the little ball of fuzz. She called it "Fuzz Butt."

Sawyer is very helpful with household chores. Although I think he's fighting a losing battle with the sink still spurting.

Darlene and David had been flirting every chance they got and when they heard about the prom coming up David asked Darlene if she would like to go with him. She was thrilled and said that she thought they would have a great time.

(Unfortunately I missed pictures of them leaving for prom somehow.)
While at the prom the romantic atmosphere helped Darlene to ask the courage that had been on her mind. Of course he said yes.

While they were at the prom Keira had been out searching for a rainbow gem. She had gotten a letter from the science center as well and she wanted to make Sawyer human the way Darlene had been able to make David human. Darlene had told her where she had found her rainbow gem but Keira had found an uncut diamond instead. Although she supposed it was worth a lot of money she would rather have the rainbow gem. While out she suddenly remembered it was her birthday.

First thing when she gets home she needs a new wardrobe, and maybe a new hairstyle. She gained the trait Book Worm.
