The Not-So-Pleasants

Pleasant House, week 1: Daniel, Mary-Sue, Lilith, Angela, and baby

Author's note: It was a short week for the Pleasant family this round, to get them in synch with the others, so I'll just breeze through it...

Because Kaylynn had already caught Daniel on a date with Don, she was too furious with him to offer to hang out after work - so the Maxis scenario never presented itself. When Mary-Sue was fired, Daniel offered a sympathetic shoulder for her to cry on, and one thing led to another... She only got in one day of work at her new job in crime, before she was put on maternity leave.


Feuding twins Lilith and Angela started the week with a slapfest. After that I mostly managed to keep them so busy studying that there was no time for fighting. They spent all their time working for scholarships. By watching the Yummy channel together, they even managed to improve their relationship a little.

Lilith also made up with Mary-Sue just enough to be taught to study.


Angela went on a couple of dates with Dustin, even though he really wasn't that interested. It helped when she added some highlights to her hair, to make it a little less red... But it was pretty clear there was no future in it. The dates did give her the aspiration points needed for energizers and thinking caps, though.


Dirk and Lilith were a different story. He's so crazy about her, it's adorable to watch. She's not quite as into him - I think she's just happy to be loved by someone. With her family, that's no wonder. He brought her presents, too, which did more for the family net worth than her parents' paychecks...


At the very end of the week, Mary-Sue went into labor, and produced - another girl. This one was named Corinne, in an attempt to combine the names of her grandmothers.


Born: Corinne Pleasant

Angela passes out from exhaustion as the twins come home from school, but Lilith only complains that her sister is in her way.
