Hi, everyone! Welcome to my 3rd MySims/MySims Kingdom story! This is an entirely different story that I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun reading ^^ Mari and the other 5 friends move into Spookane and then take a trip to visit Rusty in Cowboy Junction. Rusty eventually falls in love with Mari and, well, shit will happen later. I won't tell you what happens ;) You'll find out for yourselves. Ehh...not sure if this chapter got off to a good start... I wasn't in my best mood, but I promise I'll write better.

Any character you recognize from the EA games MySims and MySims Kingdom are not mine!

~Mari P.O.V~

It's been about 7 months since I've moved into Simstown and I gotta say, I love it here! I've grown up and lived a very hard life with only one friend and abusive parents, but living here makes me feel like I can have a fresh start although it's 16 years later…

That's right, I'm 16 years young and still goin' strong no matter what comes in the way. I've been living almost anywhere and everywhere after I escaped my parents when I was 10. I lived with my one friend for a while and eventually left her to see the world…well, make that nation. I've only been to one other country, and that's Canada! I'm certainly not homeless by any means as I have come from a rich family and it just so happens that when I ran away, I took all my parents money and that's a lot of money! I rented out hotel and motel rooms to stay in, bought new clothes, fed myself and everything all up ro 7 months ago when I first moved in, and I'll say, I ain't goin' anywhere.

"Yo! Mari! Come on over, we're all about to talk about our next trip!" shouted Rob from the outside of my home. My friends Rob, Blaine, Goth Boy, Raven, and Ray are recent high school graduates, so they're only 2 years older than I am. We all like to take trips together to the different islands around the kingdom and Goth Boy even found a nice new home in Spookane that he'll be moving to next week! Other friends of theirs named Carl and Yuki have even expanded their living space so we can all move there together! I'm pretty excited to say the least.

I bolted out my door and to the fountain in the middle of town where all my friends were chatting up a storm about God only knows what. "Wassup, guys? What's the plan?" I asked, sitting down next to Raven. I'll just point out to you now that Raven is my BEST friend! She really gets me and gives out great advice here and there. Not to mention she's absolutely hilarious. The only bad side to her is that she's a complete slut, and I mean no offense. She's slept with nearly half of her grade and that only started when she was a freshman! I worry about her sometimes.

"OK, guys!" Goth Boy started as he plopped on the ground, "I came up with the idea that maybe we should go visit our old friend Rusty, eh?" Everyone but me agreed that it was a great idea. I merely said nothing since I had no clue who this "Rusty" was.

"Yeah, dude, that's a great idea! Damn, we haven't seen ol' Rusty since graduation! I think it would be cool to visit him." Blaine cheered. Goth Boy nodded at Blaine's query. "Yeah! But we shouldn't go until we all get settled in Spookane. Too much to do. So I say we head over there in about two weeks?" Everyone nodded in agreement.

I sat there and played with the locks on the side of my face for a while. I really wanted to know who Rusty was so I asked Raven, "Who's Rusty?" She turned to me and said, "He's a really, really good friend of ours! We met him on the first day of band camp our freshman year and we thought he was pretty cool so he stuck with us all four years. He lives over in Cowboy Junction."

"Oh, ok. Sounds cool!" Yes! I was actually rather excited to meet him. But first, we all needed to get ready for the great move overseas to our new island. Goth Boy stood up and stretched. "Well, that's enough of that. I think I'm gonna go home and try to get some more packing done. Blaine!" he turned toward Blaine and poked him in the shoulder, "You gonna come over?"

"Yeah, I'll come over and help. I got my packing done earlier today. See you guys tomorrow!" Blaine waved and walked with Goth Boy back to their house. Raven walked back to my house to hang out and spend the night and then tomorrow I was gonna help her pack too.

~Goth Boy P.O.V~

"What box should I put this piece of shit in?" Blaine was holding up my old-fashioned silver candle holder and waving it around like it was nothing. "Dude, stop, that was really expensive! Put it in the box with all the fragile stuff, but first wrap it in some bubble wrap." He nodded and did what I told him. Man, that Blaine. He and I have been best friends since we were 3 years old. It's pretty funny having a vampire as a friend too. Learning about the two vampire societies, their customs, their lifestyle…it's all so cool! I'll tell you everything there is to know about them:

There are two societies: Crimson Elite and Dark Moon. Crimson Elite is the society of the good vampires that work to protect our world from evil. They all worship God as their creator whereas Dark Moon worships no one. They like to be their own people, I guess. Blaine, of course, is apart of this society as well as Ray Jarret. Ooh, and you know what's neat? Apparently every once in a while a vampire must be sealed under a spell in a mausoleum to keep up with the generations. The spell keeps you asleep for 100 years and keeps you from getting thirsty for blood until you wake up. Blaine has had to do this a few times considering he was born in year 1038 A.D. Ray, on the other hand, is a new vampire that was born in 1994 so he won't be doing it for a long time. Oh, and we can't forget the Dark Moon society…

Dark Moon is, obviously, the clan of the evil vampires which wish to take control of the universe and wipe out the human race. Matthew Kai would be apart of that society. Yeah, that's right. Matthew Kai is a vampire. I'm sure you haven't heard that in any of the other stories, but it's true. Funny thing is that his parents weren't apart of Dark Moon. I guess you're born into it,huh? You can tell if you were born into the Dark Moon if you have red eyes or have a pitch-black shadow, or sometimes even both. It's pretty scary to say the least. Matthew Kai is absolutely insane and we all know it, but for some reason his society mistakes his insanity for genius. He was even knighted a Sir by the Master of the Dark Moon, Detlev Vayridge.

Sadly though, there are 12 million vampires to a society making there be 24 million vampire total but since the societies are in such a remote area and they are all immortal, the world rejects adding them to the world's population. But yeah, that's basically all I know about vampires. Wasn't this exciting to learn? I bet you forgot all about what Blaine and I were doing at my house!

"Alright, bro, I'm tired to I'm gonna head home and get some sleep. I'll text you tomorrow, 'kay?" Blaine yawned and he slowly made his way to the door. "Alright, see you tomorrow." He closed the door and I walked over to my bed, layed down on the dark crimson sheets, and fell asleep.
