Meet the Firtrees.
Dear Diary,
Felicia Firtree here again. I’m just writing to tell you about the things that have happened recently. Today we moved into our little bungalow house in a village called Logville. There’s way less stuff to do around here than there was in SimCity, where we shared an apartment. Our house is a vast improvement on our old one bedroom place. This one seem much more spacious. Anyway, here’s an old photo of me, James and our Mom, Nicola.

That’s me on the left, and James on the right, and Mom in the middle. Dad would usually stand next to Mom with his arm around her. I wish Dad could be here. I can still remember the day that we heard of a case of a carjacking in Downtown SimCity. Little did we know it belonged to Bob Firtree. It had crashed into the side of the Krampft Industries Co. office block. Both my Dad, and the carjacker had died. And it was a sad day for everyone in our family.

It was strange the way Mom acted. She seemed as though it had never happened. She was quick to make friends with our Maid, Remington. He’s part of a rich family from Veronaville.
Me? I got a job as a Lab Glass Scrubber and because of my grades, I worked my way up to Lab Assistant pretty quickly.
I got A+ grades in school in almost everything. My Mom was really proud of me. But James has a few…ahem…redeeming qualities.

He is possibly the greatest dancer I have ever seen. You used to see him jiving to Hip Hop almost every day in front of our jukebox, I can imagine him being in Showbiz when he’s older. 
He’s probably the most social of the household. Whenever I used to bring friends home from school, they always see James and are usually a bit inimidated. Oh, did I mention that James was probably one of the most popular kids in school? Me? I’m a bit of a nerd. They used sit quietly with me until he speaks to them.

Something else I noticed too, is that Mom was obsessed with her body after Dad died. She seemed to work out at every possible moment. Probably to fill the void of Dad being gone, almost certainly in fact.
Sorry I haven’t written in so long. At the moment I’m halfway through my Sophomore year in Academie Le Tour! Yup, Me and James rented in a little house together. I got a 4.0 every semester! I’ve got some pics of me and James in our Freshman year.

During Freshman year we crammed till 2:00 am most nights, but Final Exam was so easy, we didn’t bother to study that much, but we still did pretty good. Even James would really crack on with his assignments…

Well, that was only when he couldn’t get someone else to write his Term Paper for him…

Actually though, we’re better off than we thought. We bothe got the SimCity Scholar’s Grant and I got another $750 for having a job, so we had enough money for this…

Isn’t it beautiful. Not me, the car. Yup, James went to a used car dealer and bought it one day. He came back and thought I’d be real angry, but he was a bit surprised when he came home and I was delighted. Anyway, I can’t write for much longer, I’ve a got a term paper to finish.
Talk soon,
Felicia
