Oh, good, there'll be an epilogue. There's too much going on between her and Tank to just leave it at that.

But I see what you mean about her not really finding out everything. Real life's like that; you don't always get the closure you wanted. I'm glad Stella was able to come to terms with herself about her alien heritage.

I'm *really* glad you came back to this story. I enjoyed all the installments, and this take on Stella.

Yeah, know what you mean about Tank. I struggled about including him here, but personally, the story was always mainly about Stella, not so much them as couple; and technically, I still needed to do a lot more in game to get the scene I'm planing for them, so at the end this worked better for me.

I'm glad you enjoyed the story and the ending. It's probably not what anyone expected, but think is the right for my take on her. I just couldn't see her actually finding an exact answer, felt like taking away a bit of what makes her so special, imo.

Thank so much for reading and commenting.
I really appreciate it! :)
Hugs <3

Yay, you posted Chapter 8! When you said that you were going to finish the story I thought you meant in a month or two. Not that I minded getting an update so soon. I can't wait for the epilogue and to see what happend between Tank and Stella.

lol Ive been promising the ending for like ... a year, actually!! XD It was time to really put mi mind on it. Now, once I've taken the shots I need, the epilogue should be done quickly. :)

Glad you enjoyed the story, and thanks for reading and commenting! <3

I love the ending. Stella finds what she's looking for (so the plot is satisfied) but the story is still nice an open. I love open endings (and happy ones). I wish I had your self control to actually END a story.

I'm looking forward to the epilogue, too. I've never once paired Tank and Stella so that intrigues me.

(and I love your mood icon!)

Thank you so much! I'm very happy you liked the ending! :)

I had to laugh at the selfcontrol, tho, in a good way of course, but true is ... I took a whole year to have this post done!! LOL

But I'm relived its done, and pretty satisfied with it too. Maybe is not exactly as I envisioned, but think it shows what I wanted to tell in the story. And just like you say, I wanted it to be open in a way. Stella needs to keep a bit of her mystery, imo.

If all goes well, the epilogue should be done quickly. Its going to be very simple, but they deserve their happy ending!

And,thank you! <3 cat-loving Data FTW! :P

I guess my timing was good because I got to read through all 8 chapters together with no waiting.

I really liked what you did with Stella and I liked that the beef between Tank and Johnny was not about Johnny being an alien but because of him picking on Tank in high school.

I had not thought of getting Bella and Buzz together but that makes sense because it seems his former wife left under less than happy circumstances and I like making Sims feel better when that happens.

I am looking forward to reading your epilogue :-)

Oh wow! You read the whole story!? Thank you so much! <3
I'm really happy to know you enjoyed it!

This is kind of side story of another one (Remix) I've been working on and most of the background characters and stories are from there, so they're only lightly mentioned here. (Its specially about Grunts and Goths, but the time frames are different. That one stars before Tank evens goes to LFT)

Thanks for reading and commenting! :)

Ha! I got to be one of the lucky people who didn't have to wait. Thank you so much for writing this. It's really made me interesting in getting to know Stella, who I hadn't played with much before reading this story. The idea of Tank stuttering also makes him 100x more lovable to me.

I really like the ending, open as it may be. The idea of her finding a whole community of aliens gives me that warm fuzzy feeling. I do want to see what happens with her and Tank though.

awwww! Thanks you, and thank you so much for reading and commenting!! <3

I'm glad to make you feel interested in Stella. She's great, really, and the first sim I ever played in Uni! :P (and ended up with Tank that time too, pretty much by her own free will! lol).

As for Tank, I've always imagined him getting extremely nervous with women, specially if he's interested. He's maybe strong in some aspects, but in general doesn't have good social skills, imo, and is not used to deal the girls much either (I mean, considering his family, lol).

And I'm really happy you liked the ending too. That warm fussy feeling was my goal! <3 Now, I'm hoping to have the epilogue done very soon.

Thanks so much again! :)
