The Sims of Rosedale: The Robinsons-A Rebellious Streak and An Epic Birthday Part 1

There's yelling coming from the Robinson household. It's not a good morning. Teddy is giving his daughter Emma a hard time about her skimpy outfit, and the bus is waiting outside. "I'm not having a daughter of mine go out dressing like a tramp! Not under my roof, kid!"

"DAD! It's FINE! You let Charlotte and Amelia go out wearing less, why do you guys always pick on ME! I'm sorry I'm not PERFECT like your other daughters!" she screams with tears in her eyes and runs out the door.

Emma's mind is rheeling, and as she leaves she gets an impulsive idea. She acts like she's headed to the bus with Amelia and Sophia...

...and then she bolts down the street away from her house.

Emma heads into town, not sure where she's going, and find herself at Rosedale Community Pool. She decides to spend her ditch day laying out in the sun, and puts on her skimpiest bikini, just to spite her father.

Somehow this seemed like a better idea in theory. She doesn't feel vindicated....just lonely. She wants to do something that makes her feel a little....dangerous. She decides to try something she saw in a movie. She heads to the grocery store and buys a few dozen eggs. Then she searches around town for her first target...

And finds the Reeds home empty! How would they like to come home to a house covered in eggs, she giggles. She breaks out the eggs, and throws them at the house with all her might.

The egg smashes against the glass doors with a satisfying crunch. She feels the surge of an adrenaline rush. Being bad is kind of fun.

She searches around for the next victim, and find the Bells house looking unoccupied. She runs up to the front door and sends an egg hurtling toward the siding.

She stops dead. Oh my God. That's Lieutenant Bell, and apparently he's home. He screams at Emma, "What the hell are you doing kid? You're in serious trouble!"

He tells her to not move a muscle and phones his buddy who's on duty. Sergeant Meers shows up to to handle the situation. Emma feels her knees shaking. She's never been in trouble like this before. God, how dumb was this?

"Come on young lady, I think we better take you home. You're lucky Lieutenant Bell here isn't pressing charges against you for trespassing and criminal mischief." says Sergeant Meers and he leads her to the passenger side of the car. Emma climbs in weakly, and her stomach drops at the expectation of whats coming next for her.

Sergeant Meers brings her back home, and brings her inside to make sure Mom Paulette knows exactly what happened. "We're leaving this in your hands this time ma'am. But please understand, anymore mischief, and it won't be handled so lightly." Paulette keeps her composure. "Yes, Officer, we understand." Once the Officer leaves, Paulette turns to Emma with a dangerous gleam in her eyes. "How DARE you do this? How DARE you?"

"What has gotten into you? Skipping school, damaging property? Your father is the Vice President of Smithfield, do you know how something like this could affect his reputation in town? We NEVER had these kinds of problems with your sisters Emma!" Emma's eyes well up with tears. The comparisons always hurt. She never feels like she can measure up to her beautiful older sisters, Charlotte the budding ambitous journalist, and Amelia the sure-to-be valedictorian. "You're GROUNDED! Until further notice, do you hear me? And that means no phone calls from Davy either! Your father and I knew we never should have let you date a senior! Now go your room!"

Emma sits in her room for a long time, just staring. She had really messed up today. She hears her Mom talking to her Dad on the phone, then hears her slam the door, and she knows she's leaving for Amelia's final art show at the school. She had really wanted to go to that. She sighs, and decides that she really needs to turn this around. What good was it to feel sorry for herself? She goes upstairs to finish the laundry for her Mom, then pulls out her overdue homework.

A few hours later, she hears the door open and close and she knows her Dad must be home. He calls her down. She's so ashamed to face him. She reluctantly heads downstairs, taking each step extra slow. When she finds him, he looks surprisingly soft. "Come here and talk to your Dad baby." he says soothingly. She looks at him confused, then moves a little closer. He's quiet for a moment, then says "You know- growing up I had 4 brothers. Your Uncle Sam was the best football player in the state. Your Uncle David used to be able to make a whole room of people laugh." He chuckles. "I was smack in the middle, and I used to do some pretty strange things to get attention. Thank God I found the business world Em, or God knows where I'd be." He grabs her shoulder and looks her straight in the eye.

"I know why you're acting out. I get it. And it's made me realize that maybe-" the words stop in his throat-"maybe your Mom and I don't tell you enough, just how much we love you." Emma is speechless. She was waiting for the axe to fall. She can't believe her usually stern take-no-nonsense father is actually being so open with her. For the third time today, she feels the tears stream down her cheeks. "Dad-" "I know you're sorry." Teddy interupts. "I know. Me too." He pulls her into a huge hug and Emma feels her heart lighten. Her Daddy loves her.

Paulette leaves Rosedale Academy with Amelia and Charlotte after seeing Amelia's final Art Gala. The girl takes some pretty amazing photographs. Paulette is so proud of her. She knows that Teddy is home talking to Emma, so she decides to go out to Sawyer's Bar and Grill with the girls.

This place has the best food, and they can all get their favorites- Amelia can have her hamburger, Paulette her fish and chips, and Charlotte loves nachos!
