Margaret, or Maggie Cheri, is doing really well in her career. Her private life is also going well. She got the option to move in with her fiancé, Darrin Young.
However, it made a lot more sense for Darrin to move in with her. Since the tragic death by meteor of both of his parents, Darrin and his sister live with their aunt and uncle, Julien and Ginny Bernard.
So Darrin moves into Margaret's very pink cottage.
Darrin isn't doing well in his job as a politician, so Margaret encourages him to study up on his charisma. He goes a bit overboard, and manages to get from 0 to 6 in a day. He even starts on Volume III.
And in the meantime Margaret is working hard. She gets promoted to Local Favorite, and gets a new career outfit - just in time for winter!
The only thing she does about it, though, is to find herself a matching hat.
She performs a ton of sing-a-grams, including a romantic one for her mother. Now *that* is embarassing!
It does get her promoted to Local Phenomenon. The dress she gets to wear isn't any more season-appropriate than the previous one, though.
Margaret is now halfway her chosen career path. Still mostly doing sing-a-grams, though. She's on fire. No, literally, she's on fire!
Fortunately the person she was performing for was her father, who happens to have a fire extinguisher up his sleeve somewhere... (Where DO Sims keep that junk?)
She really soars through her promotions, though - mostly just performing for tips and doing sing-a-grams.

Another Sim working on a showtime career is Brendan Thao. He wants to be a magician, in spite of the fact that this isn't the luckiest profession - the town's previous magician, Leonard Harrell, died in the Box of Danger, doing the Watery Grave trick.
Brendan is of course not going to do that trick. He'll stick to Buried Alive. (Mostly because that's one of the few death types the Builder - that would be me, the local SimGoddess - does not have in the collection yet. He's doooooomed... Muhahahahaha....)
Anyway, Brendan isn't ready for the Box of Danger yet, he's only at level 4.
I think he'll need to be at level 7 before he can start trying to die - erhm - performing the impressive tricks.

Also, while I was focussing on Margaret and Brendan, Sophia Harrell died. She was Daniel's wife, who started out as a babysitter in Mesa Valley.
Daniel is heartbroken.
Actually, Daniel, his brother Nathan and the Thao twins are all over 85, so it may not be too long before they, too, will die.
