Cevin and Willow grew up, side by side, with the the common knowledge that used to be that anyone and everyone who enters
The Clique, which was, not a household, but a club the two had created as children, as a member, must be willing to be and except themselves for who they were, and to not try to change themselves for the sake of popularity and "friends". This rule was created by Cevin Faron, himself, for the better of his fellow members, because, let's face it, everyone who entered
The Clique, resident or not, was very different from one another, and there was no need to change because your personality traits made you, uniquely, you. No Sim was alike, and if they were, they'd be clones of each other. Cevin and Willow were very different from each other and the world of
Sunset Valley that surrounded them. Though their beliefs were strong, they couldn't stand their parents' constant grief over "all that black clothing". Then, one night, the same day they had discussed looking for a way out, Willow came to Cevin's attic window with 1,000
Simoleons she had made off with using her thieving skills. The two made a break for it, and left with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Somehow they managed to get a mansion in Moonlight Bay, where they lived in solitude (well, with each other, of course) until, one day, there came a knock on the door.
