Immortal Beloved Gen. 1.4: Part Two

Apr 01, 2008 19:04






A lot has changed since the two oldest sons moved out of the Grunt household.  One thing remained for certain, though: Buck was responsible for feeding the fish.



As can be seen, they weren't EXACTLY the same. 
General Buzz decided that after the boys moved out that he was going to renovate the whole house.  Even though Buck had just transitioned into a teen and wasn't out yet, the transformation had already begun.   This made him feel like he was being rushed to grow up and get out of the place.  Not to mention that their new living room felt dark, cold, and unwelcoming.  Buck used to enjoy their old fishes' company, and he had a feeling that they did as well.  These new ones, no matter how "bigger and better" Buzz thought they were, seemed to ignore him like everybody else did.



Every day when the phone would ring, Buck would run and answer it hoping that it was somebody for him to talk to.  Unfortunately, the caller was usually a friend of Buzz from the military.  This time, however, it was in fact for him.



Buck: Ripp, it's you!  How have you been?  How's college?



Me?  I'm as fine as ever!  Just peachy.  Dad just remodeled the place, you should really come to see it. 
Between you and me it looks kinda bla-



Awesome! Yeah... It looks kinda awesome, hehe.
So how about yourself, what have you been doing? Oh, sorry to hear that.  Hope your grades go up this semester!



You're really thinking about doing that?  He will kill you for sure.  Yeah I know all you want to be is a Professional Party Guest, but you really do need something to fall back on you know?



After getting extremely uncomfortable with Buzz staring at him while he was on the phone, Buck decides to sit at the table.  Buzz then sits down right beside him.  
Buzz: Was that Tank on the phone, son?  I've been wanting to talk to him because there's a job position available in the military career. 
Buck: No, it was Ripp.  I think he's planning on coming over soon.



Buzz: Oh...  That's nice I guess.  Well, if Tank ever calls then give the phone to me.  I'm pretty surprised that he hasn't called yet.



Tank, Tank, TANK.  That's all who the General ever talked about and it really made Buck sick.  Buzz was right though, it was quite peculiar that Tank had not called and Ripp did.  He excused himself from the table and decided to take out the garbage.  He then spotted Ripp staring at the new driveway.



Buck sure was right about the house being different.  Even from the outside, he thought it looked like a torture chamber.  And he could see the General had finally decided to actually spend all that cash that he had lying around the house that he had previously refused to spend.  Of course, it was all on himself though; he bet he hadn't even given Buck a decent bed yet.



Buck then ran over to Ripp to receive a warm and much needed embrace in return.



Ripp: So, what's the long ass driveway about?  Is it to make up for the Generals "shortcomings"?
Buck: Eww Ripp, that's gross!



Come inside, I'll show you how worse it gets.  I'm telling you, I've never seen a place more bland and boring.  Not to mention a little scary.  He really should put a splash of color on the place.  But you know dad; he's all about olive drab, concrete, and metal.  "Manly" things.  I have a feeling that he thinks that surrounding me with all of that crap will make me change.



Just one step into his old house and Ripp felt like crying.  He wouldn't do that though because the General could come inside at any second.  No way would he ever show weakness in front of him.  But still, the drastic change was so overwhelming.  He couldn't help to think that Buzz intentionally tried to get any shred of femininity out of the house like Buck had said.  Not only to change him though; he also had a feeling that it was to get rid of any memory that Lyla might have left behind.



From the corner of his eye he saw the biggest fucking fish tank he had ever seen!  Sure, he missed the old little guys but this might be one of the changes that the General had made that was actually good.  Yep, nothing was more amusing than seeing them swimming around in circles forever.  Maybe, just maybe they would like Mr. Shark as much as the last ones did.



The only way to find out was to test it.  Nope, they just ignored him like they did with Buck previously.  Too bad.  After all, the only thing that was a worthy rival his love for the opposite sex was fish.  Well...  Not really, but close.  Despite ignoring him, they did manage to give him a brilliant idea.  He really had to get to a fucking phone- after he played with them for a few more minutes.



Buck: I see you've found the fish tank!  Aren't they beautiful?  I don't think they're used to being around people yet though.



Ripp: Yeah, they're fucking great!  What happened to the other ones?  The General flushed them all down the toilet huh?
Buck: Actually, I gave them to Jill.



Ripp: Jill Smith, Johnny's little sister?



Buck:  Yeah, that's her!  Well, she's not that little any more.



Ripp: Yeah, I bet.  She's probably pretty hot, huh?  Like her mom...
He watched as his little brother just gave him the dorkiest smile ever and said nothing for quite a while.



Buck: Well, I kinda gave them to her as a gift of apology.



And I'm sure her parents would treat them like a member of the family.



Ripp: Well, it's great that they have a new home.  I bet instead of neglecting them, her parents would probably fucking kill them by over feeding!  You know how family Sims can be.
Buck: Ripp, don't say that!
Ripp: Hey, I'm gonna use the phone real quick.  I'll be right back.



Hey Blair, it's me Ripp!  Is Abe there?  I've got a really fucking awesome name for the band in my head and I just gotta tell him about it.



Umm, no he went to class a little while ago.  What is it?  I'll tell it to him when he comes back.



Well, two of the greatest things in the world are fish and sex, right?  So I was thinking, why don't we combine the two to make a really kickass name?  Fishsex!  Come on, you know you love it.



Hell no, Ripp!  And I thought nobody could get any more perverted than Abe is!



Exactly why I wanted to talk to him about it instead of you, kid!  I thought he'd get a fucking kick out of it.  And we could misspell it so it would look cool on paper, like PheeschSecks or something!



Well um, okay...   I'll try to remember to tell your idea to Abe once he gets back.



After Blair hung up the phone, Ripp headed over to the couch to watch TV.  Before he got there though, General Buzz stopped him in his tracks.
Buzz: I heard what you said to Buck on the phone.  You better not be thinking about quitting school.



Ripp: And why would I?  Just so I could move back into this fucking hell hole?
Buzz: You think I'd let you move back in here?  I'd rather just send you out with some money so you could find your own place!  I have no need for a slacker like you to be...  Slacking around the house again!



Ripp: Gee, that's great Buzz!  I see you've been taking arguing tips from Tank.  Oh, and I bet you don't even realize what you just said to me!



Buzz: Huh?
Ripp: Thanks for the money, dad!  You're such a fucking great guy.



Ripp sat down after their little argument and Buck joined him shortly afterward.
Buck: I heard you guys from upstairs.  Dad seems to be a bit more grouchy since Tank hasn't called here yet.  Have you talked to him?
Ripp: Why the hell would I do that?



Buck: I'm getting kind of worried.  He loves dad, isn't that strange that he hasn't called?



Ripp: I'm sure he's fine.  What could he possibly be doing that wouldn't involve dreaming he's like his fucking "old man"?



He's probably as studious as ever and just has his face buried in a book at all times.  I'm not worried about him.  You can balance a level on that fucking flat head of his.
