Bit of a... teaser, I guess, for my next O'Malleys update.
This scene is incredibly spoilery- it's Conleth and Aislinn in college, and it mentions some sims and events from other parts of the next chapter.
"Hey. Mind if I play?" Conleth asked.
"No, course not.... if you don't cheat."
"Hmmm..." Conleth hummed.
"Well, make your move, already, Con," Aislinn commented, carefully memorizing the board.
"Hey, look, some cheerleader is flirting with Trenton!"
"Con, you're pointing at a wall. Do you really think I'm gonna fall for that?" Aislinn commented, fighting the urge to roll her eyes. "Besides, I trust my boyfr-"
"No, really, you should look, Linn," Conleth said very seriously. Aislinn snorted, but glanced over her shoulder anyway.
There was nothing there but wall. "What the hell, Con? Of all people, why would you try to get one over on me?" Aislinn snarled, glaring at him with all the force she could manage.
"Hey, come on, you know you're my best friend, sis! I just... like the challenge," Conleth shrugged, trying not to grin at her. He had a feeling it would only make things worse. "If it helps, I'm sorry."
"Ugh. Jerk," Aislinn muttered, turning away and pouting for a moment. She glanced back at Conleth and sighed. He was giving her his patented I-may-be-mean-but-you-know-you-love-me puppy dog eyes. "Oh, alright, fine, you're forgiven, you big dummy."
He did grin at that, but had the good sense not to promise not to cheat again- he didn't make promises he didn't mean to keep.

Unfortunately, the next update won't be for a while- my powerpoint isn't working and so I can't write the chapter or upload to slideshare, and I refuse to post whole chapters in this format- it's too time-consuming. Still, once I get my powerpoint working again, it shouldn't be too long.
