The Oceanside Project: Onnen/Andrews Part 2
"Natural Selection" Part 2
Tuesday, Day 16
"Killer Frost"
Boomer feels sad and lonely.
Here comes his pal Athena to cheer him up!
Noelee and Yasmin lazily wake up in the morning. Yasmin knows what she did was wrong and prays that Noelee never finds out. But in a town as small as theirs gossip spreads quickly.
Yaz eats her fruit parfait breakfast...
while Noelee bathes.
Wanda is back, but this time she has to deal both Boomer and Athena! You don't stand a chance, wolf.
Yaz races to the car, late for work.
Apple Jack, Yaz's prize apple tree, is dormant for the winter but still looks pretty good.
Boomer gets some love from passerby Vivian Landgraab.
Then proceeds to dig a lovely hole in the ground. I'm sure the girls will be happy to dig into that hole looking for bugs when they come home.
Speaking of bugs... Of course Yasmin is going to look for them herself!
We already have that membership, but thanks anyway.
Still hoping to gain that body skill point Yaz jumps rope on the front lawn.
Noelee didn't have a very enjoyable day at work. She decides to do something fun, like build a sandcastle, to forget her woes.
Cindy Lou stops by again. Yasmin knows CL doesn't have a lot of friends so she tries her best to chat her up, but it's really hard when they have nothing in common. CL only wants to talk about babies and Yaz only wants to talk about insects.
Wow. Such sandcastle.
Not wanting to destroy the fragile ozone layer Noelee removes the toxic gases emanating from the dog house.
Yasmin excuses herself from the ~entertaining~ conversation with Cindy Lou to take a shower.
Oh dear. Yaz, honey, maybe you should go inside and take a hot bath or something. You're looking a little blue.
*creeeeaaaak*
OH NO! YASMIN IS FREEZING TO DEATH!!!!!
While Yasmin lays dying Noelee greets Cindy Lou's wife, nanny Angie Killeen, who stops by with Larry the Llama.
Thank goodness! Yasmin starts to thaw.
Yaz hits the tub to warm up.
Noelee and Larry become friendly.
Angie: I totes want to have a baby with her...
Maybe soon Missy...
Noelee cooks shrimp gumbo for dinner. The thick, hot soup will definitely warm Yasmin's bones.
Cindy Lou: Could you tell me, how does one buy a baby?
OK STAHP! You'll get a damn baby!!! Leave me alone!!1
The hot bath, yummy soup, and the love of Noelee help bring warmth back to Yasmin's cold body.
Noelee hopes that seeing Cindy Lou and Angie together, happily married, will get Yasmin to thinking about marriage too.
After dinner Noelee excuses herself to go bug collecting. She really hopes to catch a Ringo Beetle!
Keep trying, love!
Yasmin joins Noelee in the Beetle-mania. This time Yaz was smart enough to put on her outerwear.
Just when she discovers a cool Vampire Butterfly...
she's accosted by bees!
Noelee: I'll never find a Ringo Beetle...
Yasmin: AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
They're everywhere!
Don't swat at them! It just makes them angrier!
Don't run! It just makes them chase you. Stay still!
Poor Yasmin! Might this be karma for cheating on your adoring girlfriend? Hmmm?
*Who me, taking sides? Never!*
After hours of running away from the bees, Yasmin comes inside and says goodnight to the Killeens.
Then both girls go to bed.
Wednesday, Day 17
"Date Night"
Yasmin couldn't sleep last night. She kept thinking about how she almost died -- twice! -- and how horrible she felt for cheating on Noelee. She promised herself that she would make it up to her.
Yasmin lets Noelee know how happy she is that they moved in together and how much she really appreciates her being here. Noelee is so happy and taken aback by Yaz's sweet words.
Meh...
After Yasmin leaves for work...
Noelee gives love to fur ball Athena...
then goes digging in the sand. She wishes she had a cool job like Yasmin. Digging around for algae must be so exciting!
Then she's off to work.
Science Guy™ Achilles Brook gets duped into giving Boomer a treat.
Yasmin spends the evening birdwatching until Noelee comes home.
When Noelee arrives Yasmin asks if she wants to go out to eat for dinner. They haven't tried that new -- and only -- restaurant, The Crimson Crab, yet. Noelee tries to hide her excitement. Is there a surprise proposal in the works?
Yasmin even offers to drive since Noelee drives all of the time.
Noelee really hopes tonight is the night that Yasmin proposes. She wants to marry her more than anything else!
Tiara and Bruce are ready at their stations.
Yasmin: Hey, you wanna woohoo in the photo booth?
Noelee: No, I would actually like to eat something... Sheesh!
Tiara: I have the perfect booth for a fellow Garden Club member *wink*.
Yep, it's the same booth she seats everyone at.
Malcolm and Heaven peruse the menu together. I hope this is a "business" dinner, Mister...
*Although I have no idea what business they would have together...*
Noelee can't wait for Yasmin to propose! She's even been practicing her "surprised" face.
Yasmin calls a toast.
Yasmin: To us!
Noelee: *excited*
Noelee: Wait... is that it? Where's my ring? Why is my food burnt?
Yaz thinks this is going well! She doesn't realize that she let Noelee down.
Noelee sips her water in silence. She guesses she shouldn't have been so presumptuous to think that Yasmin was ready to settle down. She'll try to be patient and wait. But will she have to wait forever?
No heart-farting over your boss!
Judgy Minka is judgy.
Both girls decide to get their picture taken to commemorate their first out-of-house date.
Noelee loves them. The photos definitely put her in a happier mood.
Yasmin has something even better in mind.
I wouldn't be surprised if Minka Yomoshoto traced her roots and found out she's related to Mrs. Crumplebottom!
Geez! Alright, go woohoo in the car then!
Before they leave for home Noelee confides in Yasmin that she thought she would propose to her tonight.
Noelee: Do you think you'll ever be ready for marriage?
Yasmin: I'm not opposed to it. Right now is not the right time. I like how things are between us now. Let's not rush it.
I would definitely say she's not ready for marriage, Noelee.
GAH! You're making me cry, Angie!!!!
During the car ride home Yasmin talked about all of the things she wants to accomplish in Oceanside -- opening the Onnen Natural Science Museum, recreating the ancient Laganaphyllis Simnovorii, finding rare insects -- as well as the things Noelee wants to do -- saving the planet, opening a recycling center, raising the ranks of Second Life. Yasmin thinks they should concentrate on those things and wait on marriage.
Begrudgingly Noelee agrees. She knows Yasmin is the one for her, but maybe Yasmin doesn't think Noelee is the one for her. Noelee decides to give Yaz her freedom and see is she chooses her.
She really hopes she does.
Notes: I was really trying to level their skills so they could have promotions but all they wanted to do were nature activities and woohoo.
I just can't handle Angie and Cindy Lou pining for a baby! My plan was to have a Social Worker and an orphanage at the beginning of Year 2 but I think I'm going to bring them in this season.
Yasmin hasn't had any marriage wants -- but she hasn't had any fears either -- so no proposal yet. However she does have lots of "Make-out with 3 different sims" and "WooHoo 3 different sims" wants which makes me sad :( *Stupid Romance secondary*
Credits: The idea for Noelee's consignment store comes from Mara. This video shows you how it's done. Christianlov's Wallet Token Controller is used to give sims money for their items.
Thanks for reading!! ^.^
