'''''A Pleasant Tale '''''is a story created by Carman39, set in [[Pleasantview]] and based off of the [[Pleasant family]], specifically [[Mary-Sue Pleasant|Mary-Sue]], [[Angela Pleasant|Angela]], and [[Lilith Pleasant|Lilith]] ([[Daniel Pleasant|Daniel]] is mostly absent in the story). The story deals with the aftermath of Mary-Sue and Daniel's divorce, the intensifying rivalry between the twins, and Lilith's growing connection with Angela's boyfriend [[Dustin Broke]]. The story is told mostly from Lilith's point of view and puts her as the main character, but other characters do have scenes and small portions told from their point of view too.
==Chapter 1: New Lilith, New Attitude==
Line 90:
"I think I'll eat upstairs." Lilith smiled at Mary-Sue and carried her dinner upstairs. Mary-Sue snapped out of her shocked state to make one last remark.
"Good! And stay up there, I don't wanna see you for the rest of the night, you hear me?!" Mary-Sue yelled. Lilith didn't care, she felt like a boss, a new person with a new attitude. It's amazing what a new look can do to a person. Lilith ate her dinner, humming the tune of Patti LaBelle's "New Attitude" under her breath. Lilith wasn't into old 80's pop music, in fact she only knew the song because of her forced attendance at one of Angela's dance recitals years ago, but at this moment the lyrics of the song struck a chord with her.{{#tag:ref|
''I'm feeling good from my head to my shoes''
Line 155:
''7:10pm, 210 Wright Way''
When Lilith arrived at the party, the first thing that hit her was a wave of music blasting through. Dustin left her side to talk to Orlando, leaving her virtually alone and helpless. Lilith stood by the door for a full minute, unsure of what exactly to do in this situation. She collected her thoughts and decided to go get a drink, deciding there was no point in spending the duration of the party chilling in the corner by herself. Lilith collected a Dim and Gusty cocktail{{#tag:ref|A cocktail in ''[[The Sims 4]]''. It doesn't actually appear in ''The Sims 2'', but let's just for story's sake.|name=dim and gusty|group=note}} from the refreshments table, a handful of potato chips, and just kinda stayed by the refreshment table waiting for Dustin. The music changed to an old house song called "Dreamer"{{#tag:ref|The song Lilith is referring to is ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VuyQuRAsHI "Dreamer"]'' by Italian group Livin' Joy.|name=dreamer|group=note}}, and of course, whenever this song comes on anywhere, Dirk was singing along at the top of his lungs. Lilith rolled her eyes and focused back on her drink, then she got another one, and another one, until things just seemed a little bit lighter. Lilith wasn't super juiced, just a bit juiced{{#tag:ref|"Juice" and "Juiced" are the Sim terms for alcohol and drunk.|name=Juiced|group=note}}, and she was ready to drink another one and head home, but the song suddenly changed to something by Paramore{{#tag:ref|Paramore - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCyGvGEtOwc ''Misery Business'']|name=misery|group=note}}. Dustin finally appeared.
"Requested this for you." Dustin announced with a smile. Lilith about melted onto the refreshment table.
Line 301:
It was a Saturday morning, and Lilith had just woken up from a well-earned long sleep. Lilith needed to forget about the absolute horror of last week and get back to how she was feeling the day she got herself a new look. She felt like a whole new person with a better outlook on life, ready to show Angela who's boss. But first, some music.
"Alexa, shuffle music." If Lilith was to get herself back together, she was to start her day to music. The small electronic device resting on her dresser complied and shuffled a random playlist. A song titled "How Will I Know"{{#tag:ref|Whitney Houston - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3-hY-hlhBg ''How Will I Know'']|name=whitney|group=note}} began to play, not exactly Lilith's music, but she shrugged and went with it. Getting herself in front of her mirror, she applied her makeup and brushed her hair, gussying up for the day ahead.
"How will I know, if he really loves me? I say a prayer with every heartbeat!"{{#tag:ref|Lyrics from "How Will I Know".|name=whitney2|group=note}} Lilith sang into her hairbrush. That song really grows on you as it goes on honestly.
After that improptu karaoke session, she ran downstairs, grabbing a croissant and heading for the door.
Line 335:
"God you're adorable." He said. They stared into each other's eyes for a moment. Dustin turned bright red, not quite sure why he said that out loud.
''12:31, [[One-Twenty-Five Café]]''{{#tag:ref|A restaurant from [[Downtown (The Sims 2)|Downtown]].|name=downtown|group=note}}
Dustin and Lilith sat across from each other, each devouring a plate of syrup covered pancakes.
Line 361:
"Lilith Pleasant is my girlfriend!" He yelled out into the neighborhood. Lilith laughed and kissed him again, then watched as he left. Lilith gave out an infatuated sigh as he left, and then turned the handle and walked inside. She was greeted by a stream of water hitting her face, and she looked up to find Angela holding a crumpled water battle, looking absolutely furious.
"So, official now are we? Oh, sister dear, this is a new low. And just when I thought he came to his senses and realised what actual trash you are." Angela's words didn't affect her, Lilith simply started to walk off to her room to dry off.
"You know what, Lilith Marlena Pleasant, you have won this battle but you will NOT win the war!" Angela shouted up at her as she left. Lilith rolled her eyes, too happy to care. It's Angela's problem if she wants to be so dramatic.
After drying off, Lilith spent the rest of the evening in her room, texting Dustin. Dustin Broke was her boyfriend, it felt so good for her to finally say it.
