Wynnstan and Gwynda Story

Wynnstan and Gwynda is a fictional gameplay Sims story created by C.Syde65. It is an indirect parody of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Although the story is basically a parody of Romeo and Juliet, it is actually a direct parody of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. The concept of this parody of mine had been around for years, long before I discovered that The Lion King II itself was in-fact a variation of Romeo and Juliet.

Chapter One - 23 Sim Days Ago
Somewhere not too far from Desiderata Valley and it's Downtown, for decades and possibly centuries, there had been a brutal feud between two upper class families. The wealthier family of the two was the Sunshine family, a family of a generally infallibly good breed of Sims. The patriarch was the proud Guglyehno Sunshine (Adult - 37 Sim Days Old - Becomes an Elder in 22 Sim Days). The matriarch, Guglyehno's wife was the charismatic Malyha Sunshine (Adult - 35 Sim Days Old - Becomes an Elder in 24 Sim Days), who was nothing short of forgiveness. Both Guglyehno and Malyha had one sister each. Guglyehno had a younger sister named Damosyl Sunshine (Adult - 33 Sim Days Old - Becomes an Elder in 26 Sim Days), and Malyha had a younger sister named Camyllea Sunshine (Adult - 31 Sim Days Old - Becomes an Elder in 28 Sim Days). Guglyehno and Malyha also had a small son named Wynnstan Sunshine (Child - 7 Sim Days Old - Becomes a Teenager in 8 Sim Days).

The poorer family of the two was the Nightshade family, a family of a generally atrociously evil breed of Sims. The matriarch was the ruthless Iyzebel Nightshade (Adult - 50 Sim Days Old - Becomes an Elder in 9 Sim Days). The patriarch, Iyzebel's husband was the somewhat spineless Czyrnobog Nightshade (Adult - 49 Sim Days Old - Becomes an Elder in 10 Sim Days). Iyzebel and Czyrnobog had three children named Ulysses Nightshade (Child - 13 Sim Days Old - Becomes a Teenager in 2 Sim Days). Jyzebel Nightshade (Teenager - 22 Sim Days Old - Becomes an Adult in 8 Sim Days). And Gwynda Nightshade (Child - 9 Sim Days Old - Becomes a Teenager in 6 Sim Days).

Like many Sunshines from many previous generations, Guglyehno was a generally good natured and likeable person. But however generally good natured and likeable he was, there was one thing he couldn't let go. He couldn't let go of his pride of being the patriarch of the wealthiest and most popular and admired family in the neighbourhood. Nor could he let go of his hatred towards the Nightshade family, a slightly less wealthy but nonetheless a would be respectable family, had it not consisted almost entirely of sadistic evil doers. He was blinded by his prejudice to allow himself to understand that being a Nightshade didn't necessarily make one incurably evil.

On Wynnstan's first day of school, on Monday, he quickly befriended one of his classmates, Gwynda. It was also her first day of school, but being 2 Sim days older than Wynnstan was, she was officially 2 Sim years above him. At the end of Wynnstan's first day of school, he brought Gwynda home to his house, but before he was able to introduce her to his family, Guglyehno shouted at Gwynda and ordered her to get out of his house and off his property immediately. The frightened girl ran out of the house crying her eyes out. Malyha was shocked at her husband and angry that he showed no sensitivity towards Gwynda's feelings, as he watched Gwynda run out of the house crying her eyes out.

Wynnstan rounded on his father and began telling him what a horrible parent he thought he was for scaring away his new best friend. Guglyehno interrupted his son saying that she was a Nightshade and came from a family of heartless of purely evil villains that were sworn enemies with his family, and that Gwynda had no feelings. Malyha felt sorry for both Wynnstan, and Gwynda, and thought that it must have been really upsetting for Wynnstan to have his father treat his best friend as if she was something disgustingly unpleasant. Malyha unlike her husband, opened her mind to the possibility that Gwynda was unlike the rest of her family. But she did share her husband's hatred towards Iyzebel and Czyrnobog, the matriarch and patriarch of the Nightshades, even though she, unlike Guglyehno, was calmer and much more reluctant to show aggression. Wynnstan refused to believe that his new best friend could possibly be evil, let alone his sworn enemy, and said a load of very cross things. So his father furiously sent him to his bedroom and made him swear that he would do his best to stay away from Gwynda as much as he could, and never speak to her again if he could help it.

But Guglyehno couldn't know everything that happened to his son and everything he didn't know didn't hurt him - Wynnstan would secretly play with Gwynda almost every day during playtime and lunchtime, and made arrangements to meet her after school, in places away from both their families, knowing that they'd both be in big trouble if either of them was caught on the other one's property. Gwynda also warned Wynnstan that all the members of her family were evil and that it would cost him his life if her mother or father caught him interacting with her. She warned him not to let her cruel big brother Ulysses catch them interacting at school if he could help it, or Ulysses would tell his parents, who would murder Wynnstan for sure, if they found out. Luckily Wynnstan didn't have to worry about Ulysses much, until he became a teenager, since Ulysses aged into a teenager and moved to the secondary department of the school, at the end of the day of Wynnstan's second day of school. So he and Gwynda had little to no trouble in retaining their friendship all the way through the rest of their childhood days.

Not going to school on Saturday and Sunday meant that Wynnstan would only have had 6 days of school before becoming a teenager. Gwynda aged up on Saturday evening, and Wynnstan aged up on Monday evening, the following week. As Sims spent longer as teenagers than they did as children, it made things tougher for Wynnstan and Gwynda to stay close. It was difficult getting through 1 Monday, Thursday and Friday, and 2 Tuesdays and Wednesday without Ulysses seeing so much as concrete evidence that Wynnstan and Gwynda were on social terms. But when Ulysses grew up and left school on Wednesday of the third week, Wynnstan and Gwynda knew that they were finally free to do something they'd only dreamed of doing since they became teenagers. Wynnstan proposed to Gwynda and she accepted. Gwynda grew into an adult next Sunday, and on Tuesday, the fourth week, Wynnstan grew into an adult.
