Days later, Caizey was back in the Magical Realm, working on some more needs potions. She had workers all over her house back home - installing a greenhouse in her backyard. The new windows she had ordered were due to come in in a few days, too. With all the noise the workers were making, she hadn't been able to think straight, so she decided it was time to work on her magic some more. Perhaps they would be done by the time she got home!
Simeon, the Practical magic teacher had turned out to be a great friend. Whenever she got the chance, Caizey spent some time with him, either chatting or training. She felt she was pretty much at the end of where she could go with her Mischief magic, so concentrating on the other two schools of magic kept her occupied.
She was also steadily improving her dueling skills. Not only was she winning, she was having fun with it. Sure, it was frustrating to lose occasionally - but winning usually netted her some more ingredients and sometimes even money.
Really, things couldn't get much more perfect if she wanted them to. If someone had told her where her life could go a few weeks ago, she never would have believed them.... and there would have never been a question in her mind as to whether to take the crazy offer her "benefactor" had offered.
After that last duel, Caizey's phone went off - apparently the workers were done with her greenhouse. She could wait to see it, however, because there were more duels to be had. Lots of them.
She had won every single duel. Even the one against Darrel Charm - the braggart who said he couldn't be beaten because of his Ancient Bloodline. With a bag full of new ingredients and a wide smile on her face, Caizey hopped on her broom and headed home.
The new greenhouse was amazing. It just needed a coat of paint - but she could do that on her own. It's not like she didn't know her way around a paintbrush! Caizey had also discovered a loophole. You were only supposed to get one Money Tree - but nobody made the seeds immune to magic. Her Copypasto spell had worked admirably - and she now had enough plants to seed the whole greenhouse with Money Trees. If one was good, more was better, right? All she had to do was wait for them to grow and her money worries were over forever.
That reminded her - she had to go check out her new bed, too. She put the new bed linens on it and gazed at it happily for a while, almost dumbfounded at how far she'd come.
Her comfortable bed could wait for a while longer, however.. because she still had to pay for those new windows she ordered. The smells of the magical herbs she had successfully grown filled the room with inspiration, and she painted late into the night.
Finally, her stomach growled loud enough to distract her, and she headed into her new dining room. She gazed proudly over the full table, and contemplated ordering a chandelier for above it. It was still a little too dark in the room for her taste. Then she laughed at herself wryly. She had bought a huge table and full kitchen for just her. What a silly thing she was - but she had the advantage, now, of being able to be as silly as she wanted with her life and her funds.
Days later - and who knows how many paintings, the workers finally finished installing the windows. She could finally say she had a real home. Granted, she still needed to put up wallpaper and finish furnishing the other rooms - but she'd made a real start to things.
The greenhouse was even fully painted now, with little money trees sprouting happily inside it. Life was perfect.
(A/N: I apologize for the lack of story in this post - there's only so many times you can describe a duel and have it be interesting. Then there were the house pictures, which I really wanted to include so everyone can see this masterpiece, but they required very little in the way of explanation. I have one more post of this story to publish tomorrow, then this story will be going on the shelf until August while I work on Simnano in July. But the best part is, that last post will put me back to being caught up and ready to play Caizey as soon as July is over!)
oh wow, the house is looking fantastic, look at all that! She practically has a manor, and some very expensive furniture. Her garden is shaping up nicely too. She just needs to sort those drywalls lol
Hi, theplumbob!!!!!
Hellooo! *waves*
Your screenshots are awesome! This is a cool story.
I'm glad you're liking the story. Caizey is one of my favorite sims currently. I never have to worry about "finding her voice" - she speaks to me loud and clear!
