MICHAEL- “You bought this ring from Saffie Boedell??!!”

POPPY- “Not sure. I only knew her as Saffie. She said the ring had lost it’s power because its owner was dead...her husband... but someone in the future was going to need it, and I would know who he was. So she sold it to me for 50 simoleons. She is long gone by now I am sure.”

MICHAEL- “Yeah, that she is...thanks Mr. Vernon.”

POPPY- “Anytime, but I am not reading your religious pamphlets, I have no use for any organized religion, so take your propaganda and go now!!”

ZELDA - “Hi, Mr. Vernon, it is time for your physical therapy.”

MICHAEL - Could you give us just a few more minutes, Miss, this is important.”

HAROLD- “I told you two that I don’t need your propaganda, and I need to go with this pretty woman.  She gives me therapy every day at 1:00″

ZELDA- “I can come back later, if you wish.”

HAROLD- “No, I’m done with these people.  They just want to take my money for their cause. Let’s go...”

JULES- “I think he is finished, Michael. we should go before he gets upset.”

MICHAEL- I just have one---

HAROLD- “Son, it is in your best interest to listen to your wife. I said I was going to therapy. You should take care of that problem you got with that ring.”

MICHAEL- “You say she was a witch?”

POPPY- “Oh, yes definitely. I just loved the ring, she was just going to give it to me, but I told her I had to give her something for it.. I knew it was magical. But she told me to not tell anyone, and keep it until...well you came along.”

MICHAEL- “You recall her name?”

POPPY- “Sarah...no, was it Sassie?  Hmmm, such a pretty girl, she was pregnant then, so sad her husband died before she had her baby...what was her name???”

JULES- “Was she the girl that lived in the penthouse in San Myshuno, Poppy?”

POPPY- “Yeah, that pretty little blonde, an up and coming artist...what was her name?? ….SAFFIE!! Yes, that was it Saffie.”

MICHAEL- “You bought this off of Saffie Boedell???”

JULES- “Poppy, you didn’t have to get up...it’s good to see you today.”

HAROLD- “Princess, I have been waiting since I got up this morning. You said you would be here at 10, it’s after lunch already!”

JULES- “I know, Poppy, I am sorry, some things came up.  Come on over here and sit down and talk with us.  I brought someone with me today to visit with you.  Remember Michael?”

HAROLD- “Yeah, that witch I gave the ring to?”

MICHAEL - “Hi, Mr. Vernon.  Good to see you.”

HAROLD- “What was your name again, kid? Mitchell?”

MICHAEL- “Michael, Michael Boedell.”

HAROLD- “Do you know Vanetta here?  She is single, maybe you could ask her out.”

VANETTA- “Now, Harold, remember I told you I was engaged.  I am getting married next month. So you better stop trying to set me up with every guy that comes in here.  Rodney would not like that!”

HAROLD- “The more the merrier I say, right Mitchell?”

MICHAEL- “Right...so Mr. Vernon remember that ring you gave me back when were were in Strangerville?”

JULES- “You know dad, that costume jewelry.

HAROLD- “Jules, that was NOT costume jewelry. It has magics. And of course I remember giving it to him. He was supposed to have it.  And why are you calling me dad, Princess, our dad died ages ago. I am beginning to think you are the one that needs to be in here!”

Poppy looks at the ring and immediately his eyes widen and it is evident that he may not remember Michael, but he remembers the ring…

POPPY- “That thing!! Thank goodness I gave it to you. It was nothing but bad luck for me. “

MICHAEL- “Yeah, I am kind of going through that now as well. Listen, Mr. Vernon, do you remember where you got this ring?”

POPPY- “I paid for it!! No one gave it to me!”

JULES- “We understand that Poppy, who did you buy it off of?”

POPPY- “Way back, in the 80’s? Some cute little witch, she was living in the apartment building that I was living in, and I set up a table of stuff to sell. She was looking at some things I had, and then I asked her about the ring.  She said it was her late husband’s.  He had recently got killed in some kind of hit and run accident or something. She said I needed to hold on to it and give to a young boy when I get older. She told me he would be a witch named Michael.”

Michael and Jules made their way over to the retirement center, where Harold “Poppy” has settled in quite nicely.

MICHAEL- “So has he gotten worse since coming here?”

JULES- “Somewhat,  the doctor said the change of his surroundings and routine is a probable cause of it, but once he gets used to it here, and the new routine we should see a little improvement. But he will never get better, just progressively worse.”

MICHAEL- “So they still believe you are his daughter, right?”

JULES- “Yes, which for him he also believes that as well.”

As they enter the common area of the home, Jules sees him at the table playing chess with one of the staff. His day nurse, Vanetta Holmes meets them as they come towards where Harold is sitting.

VANETTA- “Hello Miss Vernon, good to see you.  Your dad has been talking about your visit all morning.”

JULES- “Good, so he remembered I was coming today.”

VANETTA- “I put it on his calendar on his day board, but he keeps referring to you as his sister. Just so you know.”

JULES- “That’s fine, he done that off and on when we lived in Strangerville too.”

VANETTA- “Okay, did he also talk about vampires killing people there?”

JULES- “Oh, yeah, he loved watching the vampire shows, and I think he got reality confused with the TV.”

VANETTA- “oh... okay, that explains a lot then.  Enjoy your visit, today.”

Harold knows that there is no hope for Roswell, so he takes off, as does the vampire that attacked. Ted dies with the knife he used threaten Harold still in his hand....

[thegaybachelorsims]

As they go outside of Ruby’s Ted pulls out a knife and puts it to Hrold’s side...

HAROLD- “You think killing me is going to shut me up, Mayor? I got all this wrote down, and Princess will find it if something happens to me, and the truth will finally be told about Ted Roswell.  I know that damn vampire is paying you to use the lab, and to allow all those vampire and witches to stay out at the crash site.  You may think you have everyone fooled, but I see and hear things, Roswell.”

MAYOR- “I really think you have had too much to drink, Harold, let’s get you to sleep, come on let’s go….

As they walk behind the diner heading towards Harold’s trailer, something jumps out at them and grabs Ted, throwing him to the ground, Harold runs off when he sees what it is…. It is that wild vampire….the same one he saw the other night roaming out in the field next to the abandoned motel. The one he saw attack Jaylen Rivers.

MAYOR- “Listen Harold, I appreciate your concern, but I am sure that your daughter and the Pries kid are just fine, how about you let me walk you home and make sure you are safe, there are wild animals out there that are killing people….”

HAROLD- “Wild animals my ass!  It’s vampires out there killing people Mayor and you know it, hell you are allowing them to do it!!  How much are they paying you to keep your mouth closed?”

MAYOR- “Harold, you are drunk, there are no such thing as vampires, and no one is paying me anything.”

HAROLD- “People think I am crazy and not aware of what is going on, but I watch people, Mayor, including you!  I know you were being paid by the government to hide the experiment that went wrong out there at the science lab with that huge alien plant.  I heard the entire conversation right at the Belle that night...hey You thought I was drunk...no I was listening.”

MAYOR- “Come on Harold, let’s get you home...and put you to sleep.”

POPPY- “Sure thing, boy...hey you may want to take this with you.” Poppy hands him a small ring, with what looks like nine tiny gems set into it.

MICHAEL- “What is that?”

POPPY- “It’s magical, it is something some witch gave me one time. She said it is useless to humans, but with witches it can enhance their given abilities..go ahead put it on.  It is yours now, I mean you are a witch, right?”

MICHAEL- “Yes, Sir….I am a witch.”

POPPY- “Well then you definitely need this then!.”

MICHAEL- “Okay, thanks, hopefully I won’t need to use it….”

 (”Not that this is some magical ring anyway...he thinks to himself)
