The Chance Family

Big, Fair, Lill and Tina Chance

Fair and I met at a party one Saturday night. She was just another conquest to me, just as I'm sure I was another one to her. Still, there was something about her that I found infectious, and I couldn't just leave it at that one night. I'm sure she felt the same. But I'll always remember that first night - we were watching the professional party guests and boht of us said at once: I want that job one day. We looked at each other and laughed.

I was not prepared for the big news, though: One day Fair revealed that she was pregnant - with twins! I admit at first I behaved shamefully: I have no intention of ever being a father. Fair seemed understanding, I suppose, but it broke our hearts to have me leave. So after months of personal self torture, I returned to Fair and begged her to not only take me back, but to marry me. She accepted, and we were soon wed.

Then the twins were born: Lill and Tina. Man, those two were work! And then the fateful day came where the money just ran out. It seemed impossible to find a job. And then the offer came: land and money to the value of $20,000 and all we have to do is let this guy change our names. Well, Fair and I often used fake names at parties, so what didi it matter to us? We got in on the deal, and in good time to - there were no more after us as the old man died. And he changed out names to Big and Fair Chance, obviously. He left Lill and Tina's names alone, saying they sounded close enough to 'Little' and 'Tiny'.

It's not much to look at, but it's home

Well, with the four of us and the size of land we got there wasn't a huge lot left over to build a house or buy all the things we needed. Fortunately, Fair and I both got jobs as Golf Caddys, so at least now we were earning some money and hopefully soon we'd ba able to fix the place up proper. We also got a nanny - Lill and Tina just weren't old enough yet to be left alone.

Jumping on the lounge is fun

Lill and Tina are often found jumping on the lounge. I suppose normally we'd berate them for that, but there's not a huge lot else to do.

Fair and I are promoted!

Fair and I both got promoted to Gas Station Attendant at the same time. Brillant, with the bonus money we were able to afford a shower, easel and a mirror. All of which we needed to get the next promotion/s with. And we got the next promotion to Convience Store Clerk pretty quickly (the bosses love us). Now we could get a new chess set and some new floor.

Our next promotion was to Record Store Clerk: more lounges, a TV and some more decorating - the walls this time.

This is coming out of your salary!

Then one day we come home from work to discover that the nanny has gone and set the kitchen on fire. Lill told us proudly how Tina called the fire station - the nanny didn't even notice there was a fire until after Tina had made the call.

Easy money

Our next promotion was to Party DJ. This one us two hydrpolics bays. Fabulous: easy money.

Looking a lot less shabby now

And the following night (Fair and I work well as a team), we were promoted to projectionist. More work was done on the house. We had a full set of walls now.
