Silver Valley Orphans

Hi Everyone 

Hope you're all having Wonderful Week and welcome back for another Valley Orphan story this time featuring siblings Tyrone and Ann Pleasant who were adopted by Angela Pleasant over the course of her life in the university town of Britechester.  Here's their story followed by photos taken during the spring season in Valley Ventures.

TYRONE & ANN’S STORY

          Prior to adopting Tyrone, Angela Pleasant lived with her sister, Lilith who was the proverbial black sheep of the family with her dastardly, kleptomaniac ways and was always making enemies with many Sims.  Although they were siblings Angela’s relationship with her was difficult and was no closer than acquaintances during their lifetime of living together.  Despite the fact that  their parents were long gone and having a difficult relationship with her sister, Angela was able to make a life for herself by making many friends outside the house and focusing on her dream of becoming an ‘Extraordinaire Painter.  As life went on, Angela decided that she wanted to have a small family and during her mid adult life years she adopted an infant boy from the local orphanage by the name of Tyrone whose young mother had recently given him up for adoption since she could not afford to give him the life he deserved. 

          By all accounts, Tyrone and his mother had a great relationship with lots of humor which resulted in him becoming quite the ‘goofball’ at a young age.  While Angela was busy painting, Tyrone developed a love for reading books and became the ‘bookworm’ of the family.  Once he started high school, Tyrone decided that he wanted to become a Master Actor someday and star in TV shows and movies that where based on the western and romance novels he read while growing up.  Not long after reaching her senior years, Angela decided to expand her little family by adopting a young girl by the name of Ann who had lost her parents in a tragic house fire that was caused when an ember from their fireplace somehow ended up on the carpet when her father was adding a log to fire on a cold winter night.   Ann was one of those ‘squeamish’ little girls who hated things that were creepy, crawly, messy and slimy like frogs, dead fish and spoiled food.  Although he tried to protect Ann as much as possible from kids making fun of her ‘squeamish’ ways, Tyrone could not always be there for her in grade school when the boys continued to torment Ann by leaving frogs and other critters in her locker and desk once he entered Copperdale High.  Ann became somewhat of a ‘loner’ in grade school by spending much of her time avoiding the classroom brats but has been able to come out of her shell in high school where the students seem to be more mature and has been able to make some good friends including Coal Moore, Maxwell Lorford and Elaina Engle who try to make sure that no one gets bullied at school.

Shortly before Ann reached adolescence, Angela passed away due to age-related causes, leaving Tyrone responsible for caring for his younger sister while he was still attending high school.   Since Tyrone was old enough to take care of his sister, their social worker decided to let them stay at home instead of separating the two siblings by returning Ann to the orphanage.  To provide for his little sister, Tyrone decided to buckle down and study  hard so that he could graduate with honors and start his acting career.  Fortunately, Tyrone was able to find an acting agency that would allow him to star in commercials and TV shows that would all him to work while Ann was in school and that he would be home to help her with homework and her needs in the evenings.  Ann has blossomed during her high school and has earned straight As and was awarded an early graduation due to her high grades.  She is looking forward to celebrating her young adult birthday during your next visit.

The first day of Spring in Britechester and San Myshuno was sunny but cool.  One of Tyrone's friends invited him to the Flea Market to help him find something for his home.  Here, Tyrone is chatting with one of the vendors.  Below Tyrone was surprised to see his friend,  Vivian Fancey enjoying a hot bowl of pho who was also a  vendor that day.  You'll meet her another time.

After having to sign up with the Everyday Extras Talent Agency again, he auditioned and won the role of the lead spokesperson for one of the brand name guitars used in the film industry.  Here he's getting to know one of the background actors.

Tyrone's  Risky play moves in each of the commercial segments won him a gold star review.

Later that day, Tyrone enjoyed meeting new friends during 'Alien Night' at the Salty Paws Saloon in Brindleton Bay.

Later that week, Ann (far right) enjoyed an evening with some of the members of her Upper Crusts club and fellow Valley Venture sims including (left to right), Felix Patton, Daisy Collier with Maxwell Lorford and Jeff Fancey with their backs turned.

Ann enjoying herself as she does the country style dance at the bar in Chestnut Ridge.  (Looks like the mouse caught her outline).  Although she considers herself a 'loner', Ann still enjoys getting out with friends and making new ones. Overtime Ann has earned the 'Pristine' reputation and maybe as she grows older, Ann will learn new things about herself and be able to leave her 'loner' days behind.

While Phoenix Dawkins (right) seems to have aced her exams,  Ann struggled while writing hers but because she's a straight A student, Ann was still offered and accepted the opportunity to graduate early since she will be celebrating her birthday during my next visit with the Pleasant siblings.

Tyrone enjoying some time with his former high school sweetheart, Elaina Engle and hopes that they can rekindle their relationship after Elaina graduates and becomes a young adult in the near future.

Will leave you with a couple of pictures from her last prom where her good friend, London Lorford was voted to be Prom Queen while Kal C,M Hueso (one of the local skeleton teens) was named Prom Jester.  Good name for a skeleton, though.  The sim in the middle is Copperdale High's principal.

Until we meet again, have a great night!
