We start out our next part with Al building us a new mascot, as the other one is melting. This raises both his fun and social, because he's Al.
“Did you seriously woo a girl by telling her that you were going to build a rocket and feed me and Al to aliens?”
“Dude, no one says 'woo' that's under, like, eighty.”
“I'm crossing my ankles!”
Yes, yes, here they are together, eating their food and watching sports on television. Brotherly love at it's finest.
“You didn't answer the question!”
Al was in need of a boost before school. I wanted to quickly change his aspiration so that he would roll the school related wants of a Knowledge Sim. So I crossed my fingers and had him talk to his brother about grilled cheese.
Simon is a good sport.
“So then, there's the feta, but that's more to be sprinkled on the top once you've made the sandwiches. If you put some veggies in, you can have a grilled cheese salad sandwich with cheese on top! Doesn't that sound good?”
“Erm. Sure.”
Oh, so you think this is just another cute penguin picture that you can ignore, do you? Well you're wrong! So wrong! This is the demon penguin that waddles backwards, and talks to melting snowmen. It's creepy, and possibly trying to take over the world. We will be watching it.
Because of the chat, we now get to have another nice head in the Renew thing shot. Soon everything is put in correct order. It's funny, but when Al was Pleasure/Grilled Cheese, he mostly rolled up cheesy wants, but as soon as he turned Knowledge/Grilled Cheese, he started rolling the knowledge wants right away. Almost pushed the cheese right out, in fact.
After school, I decided that it was time for Simon to get to kissing, chop, chop.
“Like I complained.”
True enough. Look at it! They have matching outdoors wear. It's so cute! It might even be cyuute, it's so cute.
“Shhh.”
Still cute.
Awwwwwww! They're wonderful, and I love them together. Now that Simon is family, they got another bolt too. This one is *so* going to college with the boys. He's too darling to leave in the townie pool, and they're up to two bolts. So we'll have four guys when we hit university! It has been decided.
Even more cuteness, as Al decides to do a little work out while his brother is outside getting smooched up.
“Wait just a darn minute. When I dance with that thing, you make fun of me.”
Yes, yes I do.
“But when Al does it, it's suddenly cute?”
And darling. It's darling also.
“That's so not fair!”
Well, I think you're completely adorable in this picture with the studying and the excited look. Feel better?
“...I don't think I like it when you think I'm cute.”
That's exactly what I figured. *nods*
...he is cute though, isn't he?
Oh dear!
“But...but...”
I know! I'm so sorry!
“Fiiired!?”
Yes.
“But...”
I know. So unfair! Here's what happened. He got a chance card, and I answered it correctly. It caused him to get the next job up in line, which was awesome. Then my computer froze. I grumbled, restarted, and tried again. This time, he didn't get a chance card, but Al brought that girl home from work again, so I figured, not too big a loss, and I tried to get Al his first kiss. Then the computer froze a second time. This time, coming back in, Calvin got the chance card again, and answered it the same way. It got him fired.
All of this also meant that Simon got his first kiss three times, which I'm sure he enjoyed. Poor Calvin though!
“Fortune Sim saaaad!”
I know. How about we go for your first kiss now?
“Will she bring money?”
Anyway, we were lucky in that he wasn't fearing losing his job, so we'll look for a new one in the paper and send him back on his way.
I'm pretty sure it didn't help that Al came home with a promotion. At least he wasn't the rubbing it in type. This time, he didn't bring a girl, so I believe he got to skill for his last promotion.
Calvin got his shower, and a nap, which brought his proper hair back. Then he looked in the paper for a new job. We were lucky, as his old job was in the paper that day. He had skilled for it before, *and* he had the private school boost. This meant that he was on the same level he would have been had the promotion gone through like it was supposed to. Calvin is pretty awesome.
“I didn't get my aspiration boost though!”
True enough. However, the want to go up a level is still locked, so soon you'll get it!
Calvin is less awesome.
“Hey, this is how I celebrate!”
“Aha! The protective powers of my hat know no bounds!”
I did promise him his first kiss, and this was also a good way to pry him off of his brother. So here we are, Calvin and the girl who's into aliens. They're pretty darn adorable, but don't tell him I said so.
Pretty soon we'll only have to get them to the tops of their careers!
I'm not going to bother to show you their grades. They all got to A+, mind, but the homework glitch stayed with us, so it was pretty easy. So we're just going to ignore that part. I like the homework glitch, what can I say?
“Family Sim, home from work! I have a big star over my head! Who will hug me?”
I would if I could, dude. Simon is the first to finish off everything he needs to have done. He's got the grades, the job, and the kiss all done. He's ready to go! Plus, he's not blocking anyone from getting out of the car this time.
Al gets his kiss with weird eyed girl. They now have negative bolts, since he switched from Pleasure. He's just not that into her. She doesn't actually seem that into him either, so I don't really mind that she's not coming to Uni. Still, she's a nice girl, and kiss is now done!
“Snuggly! Experiment complete!”
While his brother is getting kissed, Simon is enjoying the fact that I'm letting him have some time off.
“Whee!”
I think he pulls off the hair better than the guy behind him. I also think I'm biased.
“Splashy-splash!”
This is when I can tell that he and Al really are related. Other than looking more or less just like each other, of course.
Calvin is just standing there, looking a little spotty. I sent him to get cleaned up and put on some cream. It didn't really help.
“You just had to include this one, didn't you?”
Yup.
Awesome! Al is the second one to finish up, getting to the top of his career. I had put him in science, just because it was in the paper the first day. That was even before I knew he was going to wind up being knowledge. Dharma, I think.
“He's only second because I got out of the car last. Man, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good!”
Calvin is right. He also managed to get to the top of his career. Oh, and he got a new ltw when I rerolled his aspiration award points to make him pleasure. Athletics. More great luck, what with all the dancing.
“Luck, my foot. I always knew.”
More great skill then.
You quit that celebrating right now!
I let them all have the evening off to do what they wanted to on free will. This is the sane one. He was tired, so he went to bed. I do love the logic of it.
You're going to bean your brother with that, aren't you?
“Three nice points.”
*sigh* Well, at least the mound of dirt behind you makes you look like you have flippy hair. That's funny.
“Beaning even harder now.”
I'm not sure what exactly this face means.
“I'm ready.”
To get hit?
“To duck really, really fast.”
Al here didn't go to school, because he wouldn't wake up when I told him to. He'd stayed up too late playing ball with his brother. *grumble* This, of course, means that his grades will go down, and we'll have to get them back up this afternoon.
Okay Al, it's just you and me. We should probably start skilling...
“The cab to University is going to pick me up in half an hour.”
*blinks* Wait, what?
“Knowledge Sim wants to go to University, what can I say? I got the dance scholarship.”
You could have gotten more though! Wait, didn't you only dance once?
“Yep. Bye now! I'm going to make cheesy friends.”
Have fun then, I suppose.
“Well, I'm off too. I kind of figured Al wouldn't wait for us.”
He is waiting. He's just waiting in the Uni bin.
“You had to get a picture of me spotty?”
Yep.
“No wonder he left early. He's smarter than he looks.”
Calvin here just needed one more day of work, and he's off as well.
Everybody is happy to go to Uni, though only two of them rolled the want for it. I'm going to play them there all together, as well as Simon's boyfriend.
“But not my girlfriend?”
You didn't like her that much. We'll find you another one once you're there.
“Will she have money?”
*shakeshead*
Anyway, I plan on playing them through the college years: laughing at what they grew up in, giving them goals, and all that fun stuff
“You didn't answer my question!”
Cal, we know that *you* will have money.
“Sweet.”
Yes. Sweet indeed.
The End! (of teendom)
Great job!
Can't wait to see what happens to them in college.
