I Do Manage To Get Away From The Shop And Have Some Fun Sometimes. Herb And I Have Been Going Out Regularly

I do manage to get away from the shop and have some fun sometimes.  Herb and I have been going out regularly since that first almost-date at the garden club meeting.  Sometimes Gilbert Jacquet and his friend Breanna join us too.  

Dear Mom and Dad,

Some time has passed since I last wrote.  Sorry!  I just got so busy!  Between the garden and the shop and...Herb, I’ve barely had time to sit down, let alone write you guys a letter.  How are things in Riverblossom Hills?

On the start of the Tinker Round:

It's good that Stephen finds Wanda hot when she's pregnant.

Yeah, it’s definitely a good thing.  I think he finds her hot no matter what...She finds him pretty equally hot, so that’s also good.

Gosh this sounds insanely difficult! Good luck! XD

On Drabbles:

nestadaughter reblogged your photo and added:

I wasn’t sure if you played John before, but I figured he was popular enough a character to request him. And it turned out well! John is such a trainwreck. And Natasha was lovely. Grilled cheese and nothing else matters ;)

At some point I will go through with my long-held plan to recreate Desiderata Valley in my non-Freetime game and play with all those characters. And the ones from Belladonna Cove.  I’ve downloaded them from MaxisTaste about 17 times...

In the meantime, I have seen so many people play John and Natasha (and visited their pages on the Sims Wiki so many times) that I can figure out how to write them.  I had a lot of fun coming up with my own version of them.  :)

This was so beautifully done! Thank you so much! <3

You are so welcome.  It was really fun to write!  I’m glad you enjoyed it!

11, Bella and Mortimer

11) “No one will ever believe us.”

This one got kind of long (as usual) so it’s below the cut.  It took me a bit to get the prompt line in there, but I knew exactly how I wanted to start the scene.  Let me know what you think!  Thanks @greenfooddog!

As the smoke began to rise, the Goths clasped hands and began to run.  In his free hand, Mortimer clutched the precious briefcase.  In her free hand, Bella held her wand, ready to cast spells at anyone who stood in their way.  She blasted several dark-suited agents out of the way, leaving behind a number of beautiful golden statues.  

They made it through the front door and down the steps. "Get ready to jump,” Bella called and cast a portal spell ahead of them.  They leapt through the shimmering golden mist and vanished just as the building behind them exploded.

Five seconds later the couple appeared on the roof of Goth Manor, panting and out of breath.  Mortimer held up the briefcase in triumph.  “We did it, my love,” he gasped.  “We got everything we need!”

“At last,” Bella breathed, a hungry look coming into her eyes.  “How long will it take you to make it?”

“I don’t know yet.  I need to take a closer look.”

She kissed his cheek.  “Then let’s get you down to the laboratory so you can get started.  I’ll go check on the children.”

He kissed her cheek in response and they walked together down the stairs into the attic laboratory.  

“No one will ever believe us,” the head of the SCIA security team moaned, rubbing his head.  Changing back into a sim after being a golden statue for two hours had left him with a throbbing migraine.  “The Goths--the most prominent family in SimNation--robbed a top-secret government lab and stole the experimental formula for the Elixir of Life?  No one’s going to buy it...”  He was pretty sure he was fired.
