Hope

[Caspin]

Hmmm yes. It's a funny face that she is pulling too!

[Ollie]

"Well at least she looks better in her athletic clothes," David thought. "Particularly since she seems like quite athletic sim so she should be spending a long time in those clothes."



Gracie knew that her dad didn't like her look, but it didn't bother her too much, considering the fact that she felt comfortable in them.



David was lucky enough to win a free trip, leaving Gtacie all alone, by herself for the next 2 days.





Gracie, being home alone and rebellious did the evitable, have a party.





Gracie had organised what she thought was going to be an awesome party filled with: Coke (That she accidentally spilled on her bedroom floor),



Cigarettes,



and alcohol.





Soon the first guests arrived.





Gracie seemed very interested in a boy named Cody.





Not too long after the party started, Gracie received a text from David to inform her that the trip was a scam and that he would be coming home within the next hour. So of course Gracie freaked.





David walked in about 45 minutes later and yelled, "Congratulations Gracie! You could've fooled me."





"A neighbour called me about the party you were obviously hosting," David was clearly disappointed in his daughter. "I was hoping you were going to be mature about me going away, but no you just have to start a party with drugs and alcohol. I am extremely disappointed in what you have done! Young lady you are grounded!"


"But daaaaaaaaaaaad-" Gracie wined.
"No buts, go to your room!" David ordered his daughter around.



Early the next morning Gracie snuck out ready to cause some trouble.





Gracie went to a random house and rung the doorbell.





She then sneakily ran away.





She then went to another house and lit a bag of pieces on the porch and rang the doorbell.





When she got bored later in the day, she went to school.





After school instead of going home like her father ordered, Gracie went over to Cody's house before building up the guts to ask him to prom.


"Yes, I'd love to go to prom with you," Cody answered with the perfect answer.



This soon led to Gracie's first kiss.





Which then led to...





The next morning David found Gracie in her room.


"I was looking all over the place for you! Where the hell were you last night?!" David lost his temper.



Later Gracie managed to sneak out to prom.





During prom she was caught attempting to flood the school, but failed.





She was forcefully taken home in a police car.





Although Gracie had still managed to get her photo with Cody at prom.

"Interested"?! That seems an understatement, she looks like she's going to have him for breakfast!

Oh wait, later she does!

What a wild young thing. I like her!

[Minty]

The first "Where the hell were you last night" - a rite of passage for every father

Gracie looks like she's going to be lots of fun. Hope she left enough booze for Dave, looks like he's gonna need it!

[Ollie]

While cleaning up a mess in Gracie's room, David found a pack of ciggies.





David wasn't angry, he was over being angry, he was calm on the outside, but on the inside he was stressed to the max. So he decided to try one from the packet, hoping that it might relax him more.





"Hmmm," David thought. "it's not as bad as I expected it to be."





It wasn't long before smoking became a habit for him, it seemed as though he had been smoking all his life.





Later that night, David suggested to Gracie that she should think about getting a part-time job.


"Fine dad," Gracie groaned. "I will."



Gracie decided to start up a blog overnight as if it was good enough, she could earn some donations as some extra cash on the side.





The next day Gracie got herself a job at the mausoleum.





Gracie became more involved with Cody, asking him on date to go see a movie (Which went great).





Along with smoking, David also began drinking again.





Finally they were able to get a car!





Sadly for Gracie, she was caught egging a house.





Gracie attempted to run





but the police still caught up to her.





She was taken home to an angry dad (who had gotten even more stressed out by the cigarettes he had been smoking).





After another day at school, Gracie went over to Cody's house where she got some lovely flowers.





Gracie's blog had been going pretty well, with over 100 followers.





It wasn't long before David had gotten through his first pack of cigarettes.





The next day it was Gracie's birthday!





She was glad as it was her last day of school.





She had a great party that night!





Finally Gracie had grown out of her old teenage style which her dad said (and I quote), made her look like some gothic (pardon the language) prostitute.

[Caspin]

Ah yes, she's lost that streetwalker look, lol!

Let's hope she can make something of her life, what with her family's past and all those run-ins with the police on her record!

[Ollie]

It was time for Gracie's graduation!





"Most-likely to get arrested", well that explains why "the future looks bright" jeez.





So congratulations Gracie you only just graduated by a slither.





Gracie seemed quite fond of making street art.





Soon Gracie got herself a job in the criminal career (unsurprisingly.





After illegally making street art, Gracie was arrested and fine 1,000 simoleons





While going through the mail, David found a letter.





David went inside, sat down and read it.



"To Mr. David hope,

This letter is here to inform you that you are due in court on the second of may at 11:00 A.M. for the following charges:

• First-degree Murder
• obstruction of justice
  

If you fail to appear in court on the second of may, you may face even more charges.

Sincerely from the sunset Valley law and justice system."



At first David tried to stay calm, Smoking a cigarette.





But soon he began to drink in an aggressive manner.





He knew he shouldn't have, but David got in a car and drove off.

Gosh, a video! That's very inventive, Ollie!

But poor Gracie - now she's left with nobody

Edit:
Something's going awry at the top of that post, by the way Ollie - looks like some bits were duplicated?

[Ollie]

Fixed that little bit.
Yes videos- I decided that since they now have a TV instead of having the news being portrayed article style (Back when the Hope family didn't have a TV), I decided to show it TV style. I can tell that my friends are going to have a laugh at that video.

Ah well, that's what mates are for isn't it!

I really like the idea of making a telly clip about the crash. It's inspired!
