Astrid stepped foot on the bus. She shifted into a seat in the middle. She got some weird looks for being a newcomer to the school. No one knew who she was.

==Chapter 5: The Visit==
==Chapter 5: Back At School==


The next day in the school, a child with blonde hair in pigtails walked inside. It was Vicky.
A few days later, it was the weekend. Astrid was on the computer, using it to write an essay for Simology class. Suddenly, the doorbell was heard.


"Finally, my flu is gone. I can't wait to meet my classmates." Vicky said to her imaginary friend, JellyBean.
"I'll get it!" Astrid's mother said, then ran to the door. "Oh hello! It's so nice to see you again!"


"Wait a second, please don't replace me!" JellyBean said.
"Hm... Wonder who it is." Astrid thought. "Ugh... Stupid Mr. Wolff! I hate doing essays for Simology."


"Don't worry JellyBean, I'd never do that." Vicky said. "ooh, how about him!"
"Astrid! Guess who it is?" Her mother asked.


She pointed to Chris Redfield, a child as well.
"Unless it's Leona or Jean, I really don't care."


"Hi, I'm Vicky" she said.
"Oh really? Well I guess Elliot can go home then..."


"I'm Chris" he responded.
"Wait? Elliot?" Astrid ran over to the front door.


"Hey, do you like music?" Vicky asked.
"ELLIOT! It's so good to see you again!" Astrid said, then hugged him.


"Yes! My dad even says he will buy me a guitar when I become a teenager." Chris said.
"Same here, Astrid!" Elliot said. "So, do you wanna go on a date or something?"


"Well, I hear if you like music, maybe you could go to a concert that will happen in the stadium next week."
"Of course!" Astrid said. "How about you can meet my new friends at the park!"


"Great idea! I'll even invite my best friend Tamera!" Chris then ran over to a girl with black hair and purple eyes.
"Sure, we can!" Elliot agreed, then they rode in a taxi to Central Park.


"Wait, he didn't realize I was flirting with him?" Vicky asked.
----


"What was that?" Astrid asked.
IN THE PARK


"Uh NOTHING!" Vicky said. "''My sister will never know my crushes!''" She thought.
"Ugh, I can't believe mom forced us to come here," Jean said.


"Hehe, okay..." Astrid said. Suddenly, she passed by a mirror in the hall. And looked at herself. She sighed.
"Well I'm happy to be at the park!" Leona replied.


"Maybe one day I will be my true self..." Astrid said to herself, looking in the mirror. "If only people would understand..."
"Hey Leona! I want you to meet someone!" Leona and Jean turned around, and saw Astrid with a blonde haired teenager.


"Hey girl!" Jean said to her. "Have you seen Leona? She actually wore something not black today! Astrid?"
"Hello Astrid, I thought you were stuck at home doing an essay." Jean said.


Astrid stopped looking in the mirror. "Huh?"
"Who is he?" Leona asked.


"Were you even listening?"
"This is my boyfriend from Riverview, Elliot Briody!"


"Oh nice to meet you," Leona said.
"Sorry, I'm just depressed." Astrid said.


"Why?" Jean asked. "What's going on?"
"Hey Leona, you almost look familiar." Elliot said. "You know, you look just like a girl I met 7 years ago when I used to live in Sunset Valley."


"Well... uh..." She couldn't reveal her actual feelings. She had to think of something. "Just teenager stuff. Nothing important."
"Wait... You look familiar to me too," Leona said. "I remember a boy from my class who looked just like you but younger."


"Oh, okay. Well maybe I can take you to the theater after school to get your mind off it."
"Well then, which class were you in 7 years ago?"


"You don't need to, it's fine." Astrid said. "Anyway, I, uh, better get to my class." she ran to the gym.
Leona told him the class she used to be in, then Elliot revealed it was the same one he had when he lived in Sunset Valley.


"Hey Jean." Leona, wearing a white T shirt, said, approaching Jean. "Is that Astrid?"
"So, you and your father were those annoying Vita Alto supporters?" Leona asked.


"Yes. I think she's hiding something from us." Jean said. "She seems depressed."
"Of course! Vita Alto had the greatest idea! It was a revolutionary idea!"


"Well, maybe I'll ask her. We have Simology class together 5th period."
"No! Sunset Valley never should always be the quiet peaceful town it has always been!"


----
"No way! Stop being so old-fashioned! Get your mind out of the 1950s already!" Elliot yelled. "This town would have been better off with Vita Alto as the mayor instead of Nancy Stupid-graab!"


Astrid sat on the floor in the gymnasium. She was all alone because most students were having their breakfast. She sat on the floor and began to cry. Astrid normally doesn't cry, because she's a tough girl, but something was wrong.
"You take that back!" Leona yelled.


==Chapter 6: Astrid's feelings==
The argument went on. Jean tried to pull Leona back but it was no use.


Later on, it was Simology class with Mr. Wolff. Astrid and Leona sat down in their chairs.
"Jean, what are they talking about?" Astrid asked, she never heard of Nancy Landgraab or Vita Alto before.


"So Astrid, I heard you are depressed for some reason," Leona said.
"They were two people running for mayor seven years ago. I guess Elliot lived here and he was on Vita Alto's side. We were on Nancy's side," Jean replied.


"What? Where... Where did you hear that?"
"QUIT YOUR STUPID FIGHTING!" Someone yelled, then Leona and Elliot stopped, and looked at the voice who said that. It was Lynda Burgundy.


"Jean told me you were acting depressed this morning."
"Sorry Mrs. Burgundy." Leona said.


"Oh, um, well yeah, I am a little sad." Astrid said. "It's because of my boyfriend, Elliot broke up with me. He couldn't handle a long distance relationship."
"It's okay, just don't fight over that stupid election. It was seven years ago. Move on."


"Oh, I see..." Leona said. "I know Jean was sad when her boyfriend left."
"Yes ma'am, okay," Elliot said.


"Good." Lynda was about to walk away, but suddenly Astrid went to her.
"Well, I'm just going to need some time to get used to it." Astrid said.


"Maybe you can get another boyfriend in this school. There's many cute guys here." Leona suggested.
"Hey Mrs. Burgundy, I always had a question..."


"Yeah, boys are "so cute" here..." Astrid sarcastically said.
"What?" Lynda asked.


Then a boy sat next to Astrid, it was Arlo Bunch.
"Why is your daughter such a mean, horrible girl?" She asked.


"Hey there, ready for the test?" He asked.
==Chapter 6: Lynda's story==


"Oh no!" Astrid said. "I forgot to study!"
"You're asking me what?" Lynda said, surprised.


"Don't worry about me, Jean helped me last night." Leona said, "I'm ready."
"You heard what I said, Mrs. B." Astrid replied.


"Oh no, I always fail in this class!" Astrid panicked.
"I suppose I could tell you." Lynda said. "Well, it all started with my mother... When I was so young, we lived in Riverview, and she always child abused me. And then her parents, my grandparents learned that she always hurted me when I was eleven years old."


"Well, I can help you study before class starts." Arlo said.
"What does this have to do with Makayla?" Leona asked.


"Thank you so much Arlo" Astrid said, then she opened her Simology textbook.
"Hey, this is my story to tell!" Lynda said, mad that Leona interrupted her story. "Where was I? Oh yes. So on my eleventh birthday, my grandparents got custody for me and my mom was so afraid the cops would get her, she went into hiding."


"So, this lesson is on 'needs' that we have. We have to describe the eight need bars every Sim has." Arlo said, "Hunger, Bladder, Energy, Social, Hygiene, and Fun."
"Wow." Astrid said. "Unbelievable."


"Oh, I remember!" Astrid said. "We learned this in Riverview last year. Thanks."
"During my teenage years, well, they were great until my best friend Lily moved away. Then I was all alone."


"So, do you want to go to the Bistro after school with me?" Arlo asked.
"Aw, how sad!" Leona blurted.


"Huh? Oh it's okay. I was planning on going to the new movie that just came out with Leona." Astrid said, then walked over back to Leona.
"However when I entered university, I met Makayla's father, Randolph Cooper. He was so romantic to me during college. Even though he was so rebellious and didn't like school. After we graduated, we got married. Soon, I became pregnant, and I was so excited. But that's when I learned that he hates children and we got into a fight so bad, we got divorced."


"Astrid, I think Arlo was asking you on date! I think he has a crush on you."
"Then, I had to raise Makayla by myself. Everything went great, until twelve years ago when Makayla was five, I was trying to teach her to walk but then, my mom was seen for the first time ever. She kidnapped Makayla for three days and taught her that being bad is good. Now, Makayla has been so rotten. She dyes her hair pink without my permission, dates older guys like Parker Langerak, and says so many curse words."


"Man, I wish we could have stopped things from ending up like this." Astrid said.
"No, he just asked me if I wanted to go to a Bistro anyway." Astrid said. "What is a Bistro?"


"The Bistro is where people go on dates to eat." Leona said.
"Well, there's nothing you can do about it now." Lynda said. "Makayla will be graduating soon, and then, she will be free and do all the bad things she wants. I just hope she won't join the criminal career. Anyway, I gotta go, bye."


"Hey Astrid, what if there was a way?" Leona asked, smirking.
"Wait... there's food there?" Astrid asked.


"YES." Leona said.
"How?"


"I'll be right back, I'm telling Arlo that maybe I might go." Astrid said.
"Well, there's been rumors about a woman in this very town who has been working on..." Leona started to whisper. "time travel technology..."


"That's my girl!" Leona said.
==Chapter 7: Unbelievable==
"Time travel technology? Are you joking?" Astrid yelled.


==Chapter 7: The Date==
"Nope, I'm not. Trust me, I didn't believe it until recently, something strange happened that never would have guessed. I believe that this time travel technology could exist."
After school, Leona accompanied Astrid waiting for Arlo at the Bistro. Astrid took the menu on the table and found that the price of the food were a little expensive. She also looked at her surroundings, everyone who came to the restaurant wore their formal suits.

"Well, I guess you wouldn't lie..." Astrid said.
“Leona, I think we should go home first for change our clothing” Astrid said.
“Nah, it’s okay” Leona said, “since we’re eating outside, it’s okay if we don’t wear formalwear”

“Oh, okay” Astrid said, “By the way, do you have boyfriend?”
"Hey guys my dad just texted me, I gotta go," Elliot said. "It was good to see you Astrid."
“Yeah, he’s working in that grocery store” Leona answered pointing at the grocery store which located across the street, “We’re just dating for three months."

“How do you know him?” Astrid asked.
"Oh, bye Elliot." Astrid replied "So, who has the time travel thing?"
“Well, actually we already knew each other for ten years, and... well, it’s a long story until we meet again here” Leona said.

Several minutes later, Arlo finally arrived in the Bistro. “Sorry girls, I’m late” Arlo said, panting.
"Well, this scientist who lives in a house where the Andrews family used to live, her name is Mrs. Hall." Leona explained. "We must convince her to let us use her time travel machine."
Arlo then took a seat next to Astrid. Astrid felt awkward since she still didn’t know much about Arlo except he was Darlene’s brother.

“So, uh... what do you want for eat?” Arlo asked, in awkward tone.
"Okay, I'm sure we can!" Astrid said.
“Oh, okay, I want this, this, and this for the drink” Astrid said pointing at the menu.
“And how about you Leona?” Arlo asked.
“Well, I think I want this juice” Leona said.
“And the food?” Arlo asked.
“Nah, I just wanna drink” Leona said.
“Okay then” Arlo said, he then called the waitress and start to order. “Oh, add some herbs on my Mac and Cheese okay?” he said.
----

Meanwhile in another place.
"No! Absolutely not!" Mrs. Hall rejected their question. "This uh... isn't a time machine! Hehe... You must have heard a stupid rumor or something." Then, she slammed the door on their faces.
Makayla was seen scolded by her teacher for her attitude. Later, her mother, Lynda appeared. She apologized to the teacher and brought Makayla out of the teacher's room.

Lynda was very upset, but she didn’t said anything since it was the fourth time in this month Makayla got into trouble. “I hate that old f%$*!” Makayla grumbled, swearing about her teacher.
"Well, that didn't work." Astrid said.
“Don’t say that about your teacher, young lady!” Lynda yelled, “He’s your teacher! Give him some respect!”

“Whatever! Take me home now, I’m tired!” Makayla said.
"Don't worry Astrid, we can sneak in and use her time machine when she isn't looking. Let's do it!"
At the corner, Dina, Nina, and Darlene watched. “Jeez, that girl is sooooo annoying...” Dina commented.

“Well, she's kind of similar with someone in our group” Darlene said smirking at Dina.
"Yeah, I saw a back door we could sneak into."

Astrid and Leona jumped over the fence, into Mrs. Hall's backyard. They saw some barbecue equipment next to the door. They moved it over and quietly opened the door. They saw Mrs. Hall reading a book on the couch, with earbuds on, so she couldn't hear them. Then they entered a room. It was a bedroom for a child.

"Wrong room." Leona said. They entered the room next to it, which was a small lab which had the time machine in it."

"Okay Astrid, set it to twelve years ago, near Mrs. Burgundy's original house." Leona said. Astrid set the time and place.

"Let's go in." Leona said.

They activated the machine. Soon they felt themselves going through time. Then, the time machine turned off... They walked out side.

They were very confused by their surroundings. They were in the Old Pier Beach, but there was no road, no houses, and in the back there was a few buildings, but they looked so old fashioned.

"Wait... This is weird." Leona said. "When are we?" Leona checked the time on the time machine.

"Astrid, you set the time to 120 years ago, not 12 years ago!" Leona said. "And it says we can't use the time machine for two hours because we used its resources!"

"Oh my gosh!" Astrid said. "I'm so clumsy!"


Nina laughed out loud at the comment.
“Err, a-at least I would never yell at my mom!" Dina said, her face turned red. "''I think I know who I could yell at right now however...''"
----
----
'''Back in the present day'''
Back to the Bistro.
“Oops, I think I should go home now” Leona said looking at her smartphone. She just got a message from her mother to go home and helped cleaning the house.
“What about me?” Astrid said protesting.
“Don’t worry girl, you have Arlo here to accompany you” Leona said, “If you need something just call or send me a text, okay?”
“Oh, okay” Astrid said.
“Very well, see you later guys” Leona said leaving Astrid and Arlo in the Bistro.
After finishing their lunch, Astrid and Arlo only quiet in an awkward silence. “So, uh, you’re from Riverview right?” Arlo said starting a conversation.
“Y-yeah” Astrid said, “Have you gone to Riverview before?”
“Well, I have a friend there” Arlo claimed.
“Oh, I see...” Astrid said.
“So Astrid, do you have a boyfriend?” Arlo asked suddenly.
“Well, I used to have a boyfriend” Astrid said, “But we broke up since he said he couldn’t handle a long-distance relationship."


“Oh, sorry to hear that” Arlo said.
Lynda was sitting in her attic, looking through her old photo albums.
“And how about you Arlo? Do you have a girlfriend?” Astrid asked.
“Me? Well, I was dating Cora Fransisco, but we broke up after I caught her cheating on me, with a guy from the Sports Club” Arlo claimed.
“Oh my gosh, it’s worse than my situation” Astrid said, “Sorry to hear that”.
“It’s okay” Arlo said, “By the way, do you want some desserts?” he asked.
“Nah it’s okay” Astrid said, smiling, “Thank you."
Arlo and Astrid then had a very nice chat. Astrid learned that Arlo’s father was working in Military Career while his mother was a scientist. Arlo also close to his older brother and sister, Ethan and Lisa, but, he had a little problem with Darlene who often teases him.
“Oh, I don’t know Darlene had that such of attitude” Astrid said.
“Well, Darlene is a nice girl actually, but she can be annoying sometimes...” Arlo said, “Especially when she starts pulling a prank on me, she filled my shower with pink hair dye last month."
“Maybe you should give her more pizza!” Astrid said jokingly
“Great idea, ha ha ha!” Arlo said, laughing.


"Hey, wait, your eldest brother is named Ethan Bunch?" Astrid asked.
"Oh, look at these photos." She said, looking at 50 year old photos of her mother as a toddler with her parents.


"Yes."
[[File:Burgundy_past_2.png|thumb|50 years earlier.]]


"That's my cousin's ex-boyfriend!" Astrid noticed.
"My mom was such a cute toddler." Lynda said. "So sad how evil she actually was."


"Wait, your related to her?" Ethan said, surprised.
[[File:Burgundy_past.png|thumb|Their old house.]]


"Yeah, I am." Astrid said. "It's a small world after all."
"I miss my grandparents too. There's Grandpa Bernard and Grandma Tiffany." Lynda said. "They were so nice to me. Also, I remember that house."
In the middle of their conversation, Astrid’s cellphone suddenly rung. Astrid then answered the call, it was from her mother, Felicia.
“Triddy, where are you? Your cousin Nia and her family are here visiting us!” Felicia said on the phone.
“Oh, okay, I will be home soon, see you later mom!” Astrid said.
“Is that your mother?” Arlo asked.
“Yeah, she said my cousin, aunt, and uncle are visiting us and I need to go home now” Astrid claimed.
“Well, let me accompany you then” Arlo said.
“Oh gosh, thanks Arlo, you are so nice...” Astrid said, “I think I’m starting to like you."
Arlo’s face blushed, “He he he, not a problem” Arlo said putting his hat on.


They walked across the street, heading to Astrid's home. However, a woman with bright red hair and a green shirt gazed at them. Then, she approached them.
She suddenly had a memory of her grandparents becoming her guardians after they witnessed her mother abusing her. They treated her better and Lynda lived with them. They moved from Roaring Heights to Riverview which was when she met her best friend Emily "Lily" Williams.


"What the f*ck? Why are you accompanying her?" She said.
"I wonder how Lily is doing now. I haven't seen her since she moved to Twinbrook..."


"Because I want her to be safe walking home..." Arlo said, suspiciously.
==Chapter 8: Changing the past==


"Yeah, right. F***ing misogyny! You think a woman needs a man in order to be safe?" The woman asked.
Jean Redfield stood in the time-travel room with Mrs. Hall. Astrid, and Leona walked out of the machine. Jean knew her sisters had snuck here and she was angry.


"Hey, leave him alone!" Astrid said. "He is a good guy!"
"LEONA ANNE REDFIELD!! You snuck into Mrs. Hall's house and you used her time machine?" Jean yelled.


"Shut up! You just have internalized misogyny! This man is trying to rape you!" the woman said.
"Jean, I can explain! We wanted to go and save Makayla from being kidnapped twelve years ago by her grandma!" Leona replied. "But we accidentally set it back 120 years instead of 12!"


"No I'm not! I'm not a rapist!" Arlo defended himself.
"Oh..." Jean said. "I see, I should have known it was for a good cause. Mrs. Hall, can we please use it?"


"Only if you go with them Jean." Mrs. Hall said. "You're the best scientist in the high school, so you should know how the time continuum works."
"Yes you are." She yelled. "You took her on a date without bowing to her in the name of womanhood! If that's not the patriarchy, I don't know what is!"


"Get away from us!" Astrid slapped the crazy woman.
"Yes ma'am!" Jean said. "Well, since we got permission, I suppose we can go!"


"Ow! How dare you slap me! You are betraying your gender!" She yelled, then ran away.
----


"Who the heck was that?" Astrid asked.
Suddenly, Jean, Leona, and Astrid were in the past, next to a house called Cornucopia. It was twelve years ago, two minutes before Chelsea kidnapped Makayla.


"That's [[Fanon:Floqueesha Neesha|Floqueesha]]. She is a crazy feminist. I think she just got back from city hall for some women's rights protest." Arlo said.
"Wow... So this is Sunset Valley before we arrived..." Jean said.


"Wow. She is so annoying. I hope I don't see her again." Astrid said.
"Hey, it's our Myrtle Bungalow house before we moved there. I almost forget what it looked like before we remodeled it." Leona said.

"Oh my gosh..." Jean said, as she saw something she never expected.

"It's... It's the Curtiz family!" Jean said. She saw Mr. And Mrs. Curtiz pushing, Alex Curtiz in a stroller. He was Jean's boyfriend who moved to Roaring Heights in the present time.

"Aw, your baby is so cute." Jean said to Mrs. Curtiz. "Can I hold him?"

"Of course," Mrs. Curtiz said, then Jean held Alex.

"Waaaah! Mama, she's cweepy!" Toddler Alex said.

"Here, have him back" Jean said. "That was mean."

"Well, Mrs. Curtiz always said Alex was troublesome as a toddler." Leona said.

Then, they saw a blue car drive in front of the Myrtle Bungalow.

"It's Chelsea!" Astrid said. "Get her!"

"You will not kidnap Makayla now!" Leona yelled, as she tackled Chelsea.

"Who are you?" Chelsea yelled. "Are you agents from the other side?"

"Maybe, maybe not." Leona said.

"Oh no, the agents are getting me! Retreat! Retreat!" Chelsea ran into her car, then zoomed away.

In the Myrtle Bungalow, Lynda was teaching Makayla how to walk.

"What's going on outside? Probably nothing." Mrs. Burgundy said.

"We did it!" Astrid said. "Yes!"

"Now, Makayla is no longer going to be a bad person!" Jean exclaimed,

"Well, wanna go to the present?" Astrid asked.

"Wait, there's something I wanna do first!" Leona then brought a permanent marker out and wrote "LEONA R. WAS HERE" in small letters on the Myrtle Bungalow house.

"Okay, let's go know. Everything should be great now!" Astrid said. Then, they entered the time machine and went back to the present time.


----
----
'''Present'''

They were in Mrs. Hall's room, but it was dark.

"Hello, Mrs. Hall? We're done!" Jean yelled.

No answer.

"Maybe she's sleeping, hey Astrid, wanna come to my home now?" Leona asked. "You can meet my family!"

"Sounds good." Astrid agreed.

Outside, Leona called a taxi and they entered it.

"Take us to the Myrtle Bungalow sir!" Leona said

"Sure thing." The taxi driver said.

But as they rode from the Hall residence, they noticed that Sunset Valley looked so different. There was no Mirabello Plaza, no Central Park, no Community School for the Gifted... Instead there were skyscrapers.

"Guys..." Jean said. "I think we changed the timeline!"

"No kidding..." Leona said.

When they got to the Myrtle Bungalow, they noticed that it only had one story, and looked the same as it did twelve years ago. Even the "LEONA R. WAS HERE" remained but it was aged twelve years.

"What happened?" Leona said, as she opened the door. "Let's go inside and figure this whole thing-"

When they entered the house, they saw Makayla and Alex Curtiz sitting on a couch, making out.

"A-ALEX? HOW ARE YOU IN SUNSET VALLEY AGAIN?" Jean yelled. "AND WHY IS MAKAYLA BURGUNDY IN MY HOUSE?"

"What do you mean?" Makayla said. "This isn't your house it's mine."

"UH OH..." Jean just realize... "WE CHANGED THE TIMELINE SO MUCH!"

==Chapter 9: Your fault==
Jean looked at Alex. He looked so different. He had longer hair with red highlight. He also wore a tank top with skulls on it. She was so surprised; he looked like a punk who always egg people's houses. Jean walked out to the sidewalk.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, LEONA!" Jean yelled, as they walked outside.

"How is it my fault?" Leona asked "I didn't know that things would end up like this!"

"Now we have changed Sunset Valley completely and it's all your fault!" Jean yelled. "We don't even live in our home!"

Suddenly, Leona's cellphone rang.

"Hello?" Leona said.

"Leona, where are you and Jean?" It was Jean's father.

"Oh, uh, we're having... Uh, a sleepover at our friend's house..."

"Oh, okay, well, don't forget; tomorrow you have school at good old SimCity High."

"W-wait, SimCity High?" Leona said, confused.

"well yeah, we live in SimCity." Mr. Redfield said. "Oh, Jocasta is crying now, I better change his diaper."

"Wait, Jocasta?" Leona said confused.

"Yeah, she's your baby sister." He replied.

"Oh right... Uh, bye dad," Leona said. "Well in this timeline we have a baby sister named Jocasta and live in SimCity, Jean."

"What about Alex? He is dating Makayla in this timeline." Jean said. "Why did this happen?"

"I'm so confused too!" Astrid said.

"Well, since the Burgundys never moved out in this timeline, I guess we couldn't find another house here, so... We moved to SimCity." Leona said.

"I just checked my online account, and at least I still live here," Astrid said.

Suddenly, a handsome teenager walked by, and he actually recognized them.

"Leona? Jean? What are doing here?" He said.

"Enrico? You recognize us?"

"Of course, I'd always recognize you. You're my best friend when I lived in Twinbrook."


Astrid arrived to her should, finally.
"Yay! Please, you must take us Mrs. Hall, we changed everything on accident!"


"Thanks for the lovely date, Arlo." Astrid said, then kissed his cheek. "I can't wait to see you at school!"
"What? What's happening?" Enrico asked.


"Same here!" Arlo said, blushing.
"You know Mrs. Hall? She made time machine, we used it, and changed the timeline! Now, I know you probably don't believe me, but-"


Astrid walked inside, took off her backpack, and plopped on the sofa. "Today has been a looong day... Time to rest."
"No, I believe you," Enrico said.


Suddenly, her mom walked in. "Astrid! Come on the kitchen! Your cousin and uncle and aunt are here!"
"You just believe that without proof?" Astrid said.


"Why?!?!?" Astrid said weakly. "I just wanna rest."
"Sure, I know Leona. She never lies." Enrico said. "Plus I always believed time travel could be possible."

Chapter 1: New student[edit | edit source]

A few hours before the epilogue of A Sim's Tale: Book 2...

Astrid Priscilla Toadstool was beginning her first day of eleventh grade. She was kind nervous to begin school, because she just moved to Sunset Valley yesterday. She was worried that her classmates wouldn't be as good as they were in her last town, Riverview. She was also worried because she heard three months ago, there was a fire in this school

Especially after she left behind her best friend, and boyfriend Elliot Briody. They had been friends for six years and afterwards, they had fallen in love. But her dad announced that they would be moving to Sunset Valley because he got a job offer there. Of course he took it.

Astrid in the bus

Astrid stepped foot on the bus. She shifted into a seat in the middle. She got some weird looks for being a newcomer to the school. No one knew who she was.

She put her headphones in, listening to her favorite country song, "Sheeky Fab Een Gern" by Luke Bryan. Minutes later, the bus stopped, and she noticed two twin girls, and a young boy enter the bus. The twins sat across from her, and since there was only one seat left (Astrid's seat) the young boy sat next to her. Astrid rolled her eyes. She wanted to be alone right now.

When they arrived at Sunset Valley Community School, Astrid was surprised that everyone had different ages here. She saw kindergarteners, elementary school children, middle school kids, teens, and some who haven't had enough credits to graduate yet.

"What diversity..." Astrid said. "I hope they have a basketball team."

Astrid's first class was P.E., her favorite. "Ah, yeah! I love P.E. so much. Hopefully there will be less lazy girls here."

She went to the locker room, dressed into her athletic wear, then asked the teacher a question.

"Ms, will there be any room on the basketball team for me to join?" She asked the teacher.

"Of course, if you have the skill. I'll set up a tryout for you during lunch, be here."

"Okay, thank you."


Astrid's second class was Simlish, which she found kind of boring. They read a boring story. Her third class was Science, and her fourth class was World History.

After world history, lunch finally came. Astrid quickly ate her sandwich as she walked to the gymnasium.

When she went there for tryouts, she sat on the bleachers for a moment. Suddenly, a prankster pulled her shoelaces from underneath.

"You've been pranked!" The blonde haired prankster yelled, then went to sit with her friends in the tribune.

"Aw, come on!" Astrid yelled, then proceeded to tie her shoes.

"Hey, you newcomer, come here!" A voice was heard, from a blonde haired, tan skinned basketball player.

"Y-yes, what's wrong?" Astrid asked.

"Well, our captain of the women's basketball team here wants to see your athletic prowess," the girl said.

"Err, I don't know..." the girl.

"Come on, don't be nervous Toads... err..." The blonde girl wracked her brain to remember the girl's name.

"The name's Astrid Toadstool" she reminded.

"Okay, thanks," the captain said, "So Astrid, if you don't mind, I really wanna see your ability".

"Well, if that's so... Okay" Astrid said, a little nervous. She didn't know these girls very well, so she hoped they wouldn't laugh at her.

Astrid later showed off her magnificent skill, everyone saw it in awe.

"Impressive, Astrid" the captain said, clapping her hands.

"Y-yeah, thanks captain!" Astrid said, relieved that they were impressed.

"Well Astrid, what about a one-on-one?" The captain said, challenging Astrid.

"Wait a minute? Are you sure?" Astrid surprised.

"Pretty sure"

"Well, okay" Astrid answered.

Everyone became silent, both the caption and Astrid were ready in their position. At the tribune, four teenaged girl watched. The referee tossed the ball on the air, both the captain and Astrid jumped to get it.

"Aha! Got it!" Astrid thought. As she dribbled the basketball down the court. The captain was quick on her feet, and then she stole the ball.

The captain dribbled the basketball down to her basket, she shot a basket but suddenly...

"Hiya!" Astrid blocked the ball before it could land. She had ahold of it now. She dribbled back to her side, then made a basket!

"We have a winner!" The referee said. "Astrid... Er... What's your middle name?"

"I will never say my middle name..."

"Whatever... Astrid Toadstool!" The other teammates clapped for their new teammate.

"You, um... You play well." The captain said, panting.

Leona Redfield

"I know," Astrid said proudly.

"How about we have some lunch together then?"

"Sure! Let's go now."

"By the way, the name's Leona Redfield."

"Nice to meet you. Your last name... Redfield... It sounds familiar," Astrid thought.

"Okay, well let's go to the cafeteria before Darlene eats all the pizza!"

Chapter 2: More friends[edit | edit source]

In the cafeteria, Leona led Astrid to her lunch table, full of her friends.

"Hey guys, meet my new friend, Astrid Toadstool. Astrid, this is Jean, my twin sister, and my friends Bella Bachelor, Mortimer Goth, Kaylynn Langerak, Darlene Bunch, Dina Caliente, and Ale- well actually... Nevermind"

"Nice to meet you," Astrid said to everyone.

"Please, sit down Astrid!" Bella invited. Astrid took a seat next to Jean and Mortimer.

"So Astrid, what's your story? We wanna get to know you." Kaylynn said.

"Yeah, what was it like in your old town?" Darlene asked, eating a pizza slice.

"I used to live in Riverview. But I didn't like it all that much."

"Why not?" Bella asked.

"Well as you know Riverview is a very old fashioned town. So many girls who lived there in my childhood were really girly. They played with dolls, wore pink, and I stuck out like a sore thumb at school. I always liked to play in the mud with dump truck toys. The neighborhood girls, Tatiana Ivanov, Carlotta Lobos, Anita Lobos, Kirsten Remington and Susie Broke always never let me play with them. They called me a clumsy, sloppy, tomboy. And I was always sad..."

"Aw, that's too bad." Leona said.

"But I always had my father, my cousin Nia, and my boyfriend as my friends..." Astrid told them. "And I survived..."

"Well Astrid, we accept you." Leona replied. "We aren't mean like them."

"Yeah!" Kaylynn said. "Since one of our friends moved, we always felt a little empty at our table."

"Thank you guys," Astrid smiled. She now had more friends than she ever imagined. "So Leona, Jean, tell me about your family."

Leona told Astrid about the Redfield family. She told her about her politician father, her cook mother, her younger brother Chris, and her adopted brother Charlie.

"Nice family. So, Leona do you want to come to my home after school? I have a soccer net it my yard and we can play some."

"Okay, cool, sure."

"Hey which class do you have after lunch?" Astrid asked.

"I have Simology, with Mr. Wolff." Leona answered.

"Me too, let's go put our backpacks in there."

They went into the Simology class and set their backpacks down. Astrid sat at a three person table, next to Leona and a blonde haired boy with a hat. Astrid chatted with Leona but noticed he stared at her too much, making her uncomfortable...

"Is something wrong?" Astrid asked.

"Huh? Oh n-nothing..." He said. Then he looked away.

"Oh, that's Darlene's brother, Arlo. I sit next to him in here."

"He seems kind of... strange," Astrid said. " I hope the teacher doesn't call on me..."

"Is the quivering new girl scared?" A brown-haired girl with pink highlights asked from behind.

"Shut up! You... Er..."

"The name's Makayla, I'm the f#&@ing queen of this school. Don't get in my way."

"Well, Makayla. I don't like your attitude." Astrid said.

"Trying to act tough in front of the queen, eh?" Makayla asked.

"Astrid, you don't wanna be on her bad side, trust me." Leona whispered.

"That'll be hard..." Astrid mumbled, showing a clear distaste for Makayla.

Chapter 3: Burgundy household[edit | edit source]

"So, Astrid, since school's over can I go to your home, and meet your family?" Leona asked.

"Of course, you're my new friend after all," Astrid replied.

Astrid and Leona sat on the bus in the front seats. As the bus drove down the road, Astrid began to hum a tune.

"Mon-zay-noo, mon-zee-wa, ippy-nooboooooo, oh nooboo, shay-zaw..."

"What's that song?" Leona asked.

"Oh, it's a song that I learned while my family went to France last summer." Astrid said. "It's so catchy. I sing it whenever I'm doing chores."

"You're singing is so good, Astrid!" Leona complimented. "Do you have the Virtuoso trait?"

"No, I don't..." Astrid admitted. "But I'm a better singer than my cousin. She's not so good."

"Hehe, yeah. My sister isn't a very good singer either." Leona said, then they laughed.

When they arrived to Astrid's house, Leona walked in her.

"Nice house"

"Thanks," Astrid replied. Suddenly, Leona spotted a blonde haired girl in the corner. She appeared to be talking to herself...

Vicky Toadstool

"I know, Jelly Bean. I can't believe I got sick on the first day of school!"

"That's my sister, Victoria." Astrid whispered "She always talks to herself, it's weird..."

"I think I may know why..." Leona said.

"Huh? Well anyway, let's go to my room."

They both walked to Astrid's bedroom. Then Leona held her nose.

"Ew! It's so dirty in here!" Leona yelled. "Does that plate have mold on it?"

"Who cares? It's just my room." Astrid said. "Plus, I have the slob trait."

"Well, I have the neat trait!" Leona yelled. "I can't believe we have conflicting traits."

"Well since my parents are so busy with their new job, they haven't had any time to clean." Astrid told her. "I think my mom will hire a maid."

"Do you want to play some soccer outside now?"

"Sure thing,"


In the Burgundy household

Burgundy house

"Honey, h-how was school?" Mrs. Burgundy asked.

"It was horrible, it sucked, just like usual." Makayla replied.

"Wait, Makayla what are you wearing?" Her mother asked, seeing Makayla's outfit. She had super short shorts, and a tank top that showed her stomach.

Makayla's argument

"Oh, #$%@ I forgot to change into my fake clothing..."

"That's it! Go to the backyard without your cell phone and think about what you've done!"

"No!!!! I hate the outdoors!"

"OUTSIDE, NOW!" Mrs. B yelled. It was strange, such a nice lady getting so angry and upset.

"Oh, Makayla... Why did I ever introduce you to your grandmother..." Suddenly, she started to have a flashback...


Twelve years ago

Lynda was teaching her daughter how to walk, when suddenly, Lynda's mother Chelsea Burgundy walked in.

"Hey there, my loser daughter. I wanna spend the day with Makayla." She said.

"Mom? I thought I told you you weren't allowed in my house..." Lynda said.

"Shut up, idiot. I'm your mother and I can do whatever I want!" Chelsea then picked Makayla up.

"Okay now, Makayla, time to teach you what fun life is like!" Chelsea said, as she threw Makayla in the backseat...

"NO! MY BABY!!" Lynda yelled... She couldn't believe her evil mother just stole her daughter. "Only the player could know what she's doing with her..." Lynda started crying.

It was 3 days later, Chelsea and Makayla returned... Chelsea had spoiled Makayla and turned her into a horrible person. Makayla was saying curse words, pranking all the neighbors, and even flirted with boys, twice her age...


In the present Makayla sat in her backyard, very angry at her mom. Suddenly, she looked over her fence to see that the new girl and Leona Redfield were having a soccer game in their yard.

"Those athletic $@#$% live right next to me, hmmm. Maybe I could do a hilarious prank on them..."

Chapter 4: Picnic basket prank[edit | edit source]

"Goal, Astrid!! You win!!!" Vicky yelled. "A-achoo!"

"Vicky, you should seriously go inside and get some rest." Astrid said. "You're sick."

"Okay..." Vicky went inside.

"So Astrid, now that we finished your soccer game, what do you want to do now?" Leona asked.

"Well... I was think we could-"

Suddenly a picnic basket flew through the air and landed into their yard.

"Where did that come from?" Leona said, then picked it up. "What's inside?" She opened it up, then screamed!

"AHHH! SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA!" She yelled, then ran to the other side of the yard.

"You must really hate iced tea..." Astrid said, confused on why she yelled that.

"NO! Look inside!"

Astrid looked inside then ran to Leona. "Who put a beehive in there? Now the bees are so angry! DAD!!!"

No one answered.

"Oh no, I forgot. My dad is still at work!"

"Astrid, I'm so afraid of bees!"

"Me too!"

"What do we do? They will come here eventually!" Leona said, then hugged Astrid in fear.

"I-I don't know!"

Suddenly, no sounds happened from the picnic basket. Then they heard laughing sound.

"HA HA HA HA HA! OH MY GOSH, HA HA HA HA HA, I CAN'T EVEN!"

"Who is laughing? Astrid asked. Suddenly, the mean girl from school, Makayla entered their yard.

"M-Makayla?" Astrid asked.

"I got you so goodly!" Makayla laughed. "It's not a real beehive! It's fake, and I put my phone in there to make a bee buzzing sound!"

"Why would you do that to us?" Leona asked. "I'm telling your mother! Come on, Astrid!"

"NOOOOO! I'm already in trouble for my outfits!!" Makayla ran after them.

In Makayla's living room, her mother was wondering what was going on.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"Mrs. Burgundy, it's us, your students Leona and Astrid!"

"Oh right, you're in my math class..."

"Your daughter just pretended to attack us with bees!"

"MAKAYLA! Why? WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH YOU?" Lynda yelled.

"I didn't! They're lying!"

"Yeah right! I don't believe you after you lied so much!" Lynda yelled. "I'm taking you to the library after school as punishment!"

"NOOOOO!" Makayla yelled. "I DON'T WANNA BE IN THE SAME PLACE AS THE NERDS ARE!"

"Now go to your room now!" Makayla went to her room.

Chapter 5: Back At School[edit | edit source]

The next day in the school, a child with blonde hair in pigtails walked inside. It was Vicky.

"Finally, my flu is gone. I can't wait to meet my classmates." Vicky said to her imaginary friend, JellyBean.

"Wait a second, please don't replace me!" JellyBean said.

"Don't worry JellyBean, I'd never do that." Vicky said. "ooh, how about him!"

She pointed to Chris Redfield, a child as well.

"Hi, I'm Vicky" she said.

"I'm Chris" he responded.

"Hey, do you like music?" Vicky asked.

"Yes! My dad even says he will buy me a guitar when I become a teenager." Chris said.

"Well, I hear if you like music, maybe you could go to a concert that will happen in the stadium next week."

"Great idea! I'll even invite my best friend Tamera!" Chris then ran over to a girl with black hair and purple eyes.

"Wait, he didn't realize I was flirting with him?" Vicky asked.

"What was that?" Astrid asked.

"Uh NOTHING!" Vicky said. "My sister will never know my crushes!" She thought.

"Hehe, okay..." Astrid said. Suddenly, she passed by a mirror in the hall. And looked at herself. She sighed.

"Maybe one day I will be my true self..." Astrid said to herself, looking in the mirror. "If only people would understand..."

"Hey girl!" Jean said to her. "Have you seen Leona? She actually wore something not black today! Astrid?"

Astrid stopped looking in the mirror. "Huh?"

"Were you even listening?"

"Sorry, I'm just depressed." Astrid said.

"Why?" Jean asked. "What's going on?"

"Well... uh..." She couldn't reveal her actual feelings. She had to think of something. "Just teenager stuff. Nothing important."

"Oh, okay. Well maybe I can take you to the theater after school to get your mind off it."

"You don't need to, it's fine." Astrid said. "Anyway, I, uh, better get to my class." she ran to the gym.

"Hey Jean." Leona, wearing a white T shirt, said, approaching Jean. "Is that Astrid?"

"Yes. I think she's hiding something from us." Jean said. "She seems depressed."

"Well, maybe I'll ask her. We have Simology class together 5th period."


Astrid sat on the floor in the gymnasium. She was all alone because most students were having their breakfast. She sat on the floor and began to cry. Astrid normally doesn't cry, because she's a tough girl, but something was wrong.

Chapter 6: Astrid's feelings[edit | edit source]

Later on, it was Simology class with Mr. Wolff. Astrid and Leona sat down in their chairs.

"So Astrid, I heard you are depressed for some reason," Leona said.

"What? Where... Where did you hear that?"

"Jean told me you were acting depressed this morning."

"Oh, um, well yeah, I am a little sad." Astrid said. "It's because of my boyfriend, Elliot broke up with me. He couldn't handle a long distance relationship."

"Oh, I see..." Leona said. "I know Jean was sad when her boyfriend left."

"Well, I'm just going to need some time to get used to it." Astrid said.

"Maybe you can get another boyfriend in this school. There's many cute guys here." Leona suggested.

"Yeah, boys are "so cute" here..." Astrid sarcastically said.

Then a boy sat next to Astrid, it was Arlo Bunch.

"Hey there, ready for the test?" He asked.

"Oh no!" Astrid said. "I forgot to study!"

"Don't worry about me, Jean helped me last night." Leona said, "I'm ready."

"Oh no, I always fail in this class!" Astrid panicked.

"Well, I can help you study before class starts." Arlo said.

"Thank you so much Arlo" Astrid said, then she opened her Simology textbook.

"So, this lesson is on 'needs' that we have. We have to describe the eight need bars every Sim has." Arlo said, "Hunger, Bladder, Energy, Social, Hygiene, and Fun."

"Oh, I remember!" Astrid said. "We learned this in Riverview last year. Thanks."

"So, do you want to go to the Bistro after school with me?" Arlo asked.

"Huh? Oh it's okay. I was planning on going to the new movie that just came out with Leona." Astrid said, then walked over back to Leona.

"Astrid, I think Arlo was asking you on date! I think he has a crush on you."

"No, he just asked me if I wanted to go to a Bistro anyway." Astrid said. "What is a Bistro?"

"The Bistro is where people go on dates to eat." Leona said.

"Wait... there's food there?" Astrid asked.

"YES." Leona said.

"I'll be right back, I'm telling Arlo that maybe I might go." Astrid said.

"That's my girl!" Leona said.

Chapter 7: The Date[edit | edit source]

After school, Leona accompanied Astrid waiting for Arlo at the Bistro. Astrid took the menu on the table and found that the price of the food were a little expensive. She also looked at her surroundings, everyone who came to the restaurant wore their formal suits. “Leona, I think we should go home first for change our clothing” Astrid said. “Nah, it’s okay” Leona said, “since we’re eating outside, it’s okay if we don’t wear formalwear” “Oh, okay” Astrid said, “By the way, do you have boyfriend?” “Yeah, he’s working in that grocery store” Leona answered pointing at the grocery store which located across the street, “We’re just dating for three months." “How do you know him?” Astrid asked. “Well, actually we already knew each other for ten years, and... well, it’s a long story until we meet again here” Leona said. Several minutes later, Arlo finally arrived in the Bistro. “Sorry girls, I’m late” Arlo said, panting. Arlo then took a seat next to Astrid. Astrid felt awkward since she still didn’t know much about Arlo except he was Darlene’s brother. “So, uh... what do you want for eat?” Arlo asked, in awkward tone. “Oh, okay, I want this, this, and this for the drink” Astrid said pointing at the menu. “And how about you Leona?” Arlo asked. “Well, I think I want this juice” Leona said. “And the food?” Arlo asked. “Nah, I just wanna drink” Leona said. “Okay then” Arlo said, he then called the waitress and start to order. “Oh, add some herbs on my Mac and Cheese okay?” he said.


Meanwhile in another place. Makayla was seen scolded by her teacher for her attitude. Later, her mother, Lynda appeared. She apologized to the teacher and brought Makayla out of the teacher's room. Lynda was very upset, but she didn’t said anything since it was the fourth time in this month Makayla got into trouble. “I hate that old f%$*!” Makayla grumbled, swearing about her teacher. “Don’t say that about your teacher, young lady!” Lynda yelled, “He’s your teacher! Give him some respect!” “Whatever! Take me home now, I’m tired!” Makayla said. At the corner, Dina, Nina, and Darlene watched. “Jeez, that girl is sooooo annoying...” Dina commented. “Well, she's kind of similar with someone in our group” Darlene said smirking at Dina.

Nina laughed out loud at the comment. “Err, a-at least I would never yell at my mom!" Dina said, her face turned red. "I think I know who I could yell at right now however..."


Back to the Bistro. “Oops, I think I should go home now” Leona said looking at her smartphone. She just got a message from her mother to go home and helped cleaning the house. “What about me?” Astrid said protesting. “Don’t worry girl, you have Arlo here to accompany you” Leona said, “If you need something just call or send me a text, okay?” “Oh, okay” Astrid said. “Very well, see you later guys” Leona said leaving Astrid and Arlo in the Bistro. After finishing their lunch, Astrid and Arlo only quiet in an awkward silence. “So, uh, you’re from Riverview right?” Arlo said starting a conversation. “Y-yeah” Astrid said, “Have you gone to Riverview before?” “Well, I have a friend there” Arlo claimed. “Oh, I see...” Astrid said. “So Astrid, do you have a boyfriend?” Arlo asked suddenly. “Well, I used to have a boyfriend” Astrid said, “But we broke up since he said he couldn’t handle a long-distance relationship."

“Oh, sorry to hear that” Arlo said. “And how about you Arlo? Do you have a girlfriend?” Astrid asked. “Me? Well, I was dating Cora Fransisco, but we broke up after I caught her cheating on me, with a guy from the Sports Club” Arlo claimed. “Oh my gosh, it’s worse than my situation” Astrid said, “Sorry to hear that”. “It’s okay” Arlo said, “By the way, do you want some desserts?” he asked. “Nah it’s okay” Astrid said, smiling, “Thank you." Arlo and Astrid then had a very nice chat. Astrid learned that Arlo’s father was working in Military Career while his mother was a scientist. Arlo also close to his older brother and sister, Ethan and Lisa, but, he had a little problem with Darlene who often teases him. “Oh, I don’t know Darlene had that such of attitude” Astrid said. “Well, Darlene is a nice girl actually, but she can be annoying sometimes...” Arlo said, “Especially when she starts pulling a prank on me, she filled my shower with pink hair dye last month." “Maybe you should give her more pizza!” Astrid said jokingly “Great idea, ha ha ha!” Arlo said, laughing.

"Hey, wait, your eldest brother is named Ethan Bunch?" Astrid asked.

"Yes."

"That's my cousin's ex-boyfriend!" Astrid noticed.

"Wait, your related to her?" Ethan said, surprised.

"Yeah, I am." Astrid said. "It's a small world after all." In the middle of their conversation, Astrid’s cellphone suddenly rung. Astrid then answered the call, it was from her mother, Felicia. “Triddy, where are you? Your cousin Nia and her family are here visiting us!” Felicia said on the phone. “Oh, okay, I will be home soon, see you later mom!” Astrid said. “Is that your mother?” Arlo asked. “Yeah, she said my cousin, aunt, and uncle are visiting us and I need to go home now” Astrid claimed. “Well, let me accompany you then” Arlo said. “Oh gosh, thanks Arlo, you are so nice...” Astrid said, “I think I’m starting to like you." Arlo’s face blushed, “He he he, not a problem” Arlo said putting his hat on.

They walked across the street, heading to Astrid's home. However, a woman with bright red hair and a green shirt gazed at them. Then, she approached them.

"What the f*ck? Why are you accompanying her?" She said.

"Because I want her to be safe walking home..." Arlo said, suspiciously.

"Yeah, right. F***ing misogyny! You think a woman needs a man in order to be safe?" The woman asked.

"Hey, leave him alone!" Astrid said. "He is a good guy!"

"Shut up! You just have internalized misogyny! This man is trying to rape you!" the woman said.

"No I'm not! I'm not a rapist!" Arlo defended himself.

"Yes you are." She yelled. "You took her on a date without bowing to her in the name of womanhood! If that's not the patriarchy, I don't know what is!"

"Get away from us!" Astrid slapped the crazy woman.

"Ow! How dare you slap me! You are betraying your gender!" She yelled, then ran away.

"Who the heck was that?" Astrid asked.

"That's Floqueesha. She is a crazy feminist. I think she just got back from city hall for some women's rights protest." Arlo said.

"Wow. She is so annoying. I hope I don't see her again." Astrid said.


Astrid arrived to her should, finally.

"Thanks for the lovely date, Arlo." Astrid said, then kissed his cheek. "I can't wait to see you at school!"

"Same here!" Arlo said, blushing.

Astrid walked inside, took off her backpack, and plopped on the sofa. "Today has been a looong day... Time to rest."

Suddenly, her mom walked in. "Astrid! Come on the kitchen! Your cousin and uncle and aunt are here!"

"Why?!?!?" Astrid said weakly. "I just wanna rest."
