08. The Weston Legacy, 1.4
warnings: language
note; last time, Gabi was shenanigans, Eli was forever-a-scone, Rocco and Sanna made some unexpected friends at a picnic, and Lou was largely ignored.
We start off with Eli, waking up as his usual self.
Rocco's making pancakes for breakfast!
SO EXCITED FOR THE PANCAKES
Just these two at the table. Can you feel the awkward in the air?
Eli: You're a good cook.
Rocco: Oh, thanks, that's really nice of you to say.
Rocco: So, uh, Eli, are you into weightlifting now?
Eli: You have never held my hand. NOT EVEN ONCE.
Rocco: pancakes pancakes please pancakes give me something to say
Eli: I'll stab myself in the shoulder with this fork!
Rocco was readying himself to start a real conversation with Eli, but then Gabi cut in, because he would.
Eli: ...Come on, Pal, let's blow this popsicle stand.
Venting repressed rage by pretending to be a red T. rex.
Now it's starting to look like interpretive dance
This has been an episode of Gabi Dancing With His Mother in the Kitchen. Back to your regularly scheduled content.
Giving a fuck? Not this couple!
Lou: fuck this I'm out
It's Eli's birthday!
Eli: I'm gonna be so cool.
We'll see about that.
JHSGDHKCJAKWF HAHAHAHAHHAH this was how he aged up, i was so tempted to keep him this way and have him be a brooding artsy weirdo
Alas, it was not to be.
The first trait he rolled was unlucky. If you'll recall, Gabriel aged up lucky. While that would be hilarious, I'm not always that cruel. So I rolled again, and he got daredevil (lolwut).
Eli: Am I less awkward now?
Not really, but you're a bit cuter!
I really only included this picture because I thought it was pretty hilarious-looking
Rocco: Wait I was in the bathroom IS THAT YOU IN THERE, ELI!?
He certainly does make some of the best faces.
Rocco aged up, too! I gave him some hair. It's not respectable for a middle-aged man to go around with a shaved head, imo. Unless you're like Moby or something
Rocco: Now people will stop calling me Voldemort!
Sanna: You know, honey, I've never been with an older man before.
Rocco: ...Well, technically you have, if I was older than you all this-
Sanna: Please be quiet.
also
:| fuck that
Egypt time!
Rocco: Palm trees! I like it.
Rocco: But what if I'm actually an awful writer and everyone's just patronizing me when they say they like my stuff!?
Rocco: Do you think I'm fat?
This isn't a midlife crisis...this is you emerging from your chrysalis and becoming a teenage girl.
Gabi: We can have so many great adventures while we're here! Exploring the tombs, meeting locals, eating great food! But especially exploring tombs. What do you say?
Eli: You're just going to rope me into doing whatever anyway.
Gabi: That's the spirit!
To that end, Eli and Gabi went to meet some locals.
Gabi: Ahlan! Ana Jibrail men Glendalough!
Dalida Barakat: ...Nice to meet you, Gabriel.
There was a girl their age there named Dunya (like I didn't already know that lol).
Dunya: Nice to meet you, I'm-
Gabi: -beautiful? I know.
Eli: ..........................sigh.
They had a nice conversation, while Eli...
...was left alone to talk to Dunya's mother.
Eli: ...You have really white teeth.
Getting food. For some reason, I just really like seeing all the boys of the family in one place :3
Especially Gabi hsdflasjdh FAVORITISM
The sad thing is that, at this point, I don't know whether Midlife Crisis or Commitment Issues was dreaming of divorce.
Speaking of Commitment Issues, she has a new hobby!
Sanna: No matter how long I play, nothing comes out!
Sanna: ...Maybe there's actually nothing in here...
(She makes the cutest faces, I swear)
Gabi went to visit Dunya again.
Dunya: If he tries anything funny, my father will kick his ass.
(by the way, whenever I write her name I can't help but think of this song)
Your father is too busy setting a weird example by being all hot and heavy with his wife in front of two teens.
Dunya: I took a bite of leftover chicken the other day and it was so gross!
Gabi: This story warms my heart.
They went on chatting for a while.
Gabi: You're really pretty, you know.
Dunya: You're not half-bad yourself.
Logical conclusion.
Meanwhile, Eli peed himself while waiting to meet up with Gabi, who was phenomenally late.
Eli: The fact that he gave me a shower-in-a-can makes me want to murder him a little less!
Gabi: Hey, sorry I was late, I-
Gabi: -Huh? Why are you all wet?
Eli: Because I peed myself while you were off canoodling with your girlfriend.
Gabi: Oh, man, I'm sorry. But at least you had a shower-in-a-can, right?
Eli: OH RIGHT THAT MAKES IT SO MUCH BETTER :)
Gabi: You're going to hold this against me, aren't you.
The reason they were meeting up: TOMB EXPLORATION
Gabi: Triangles, huh? The ancient Egyptians were such hipsters!
Eli: ......
This is Gabi's "Appreciating The Pyramids" face.
Gabi: Speak, friend, and enter! Open sesame! Hakuna matata!
Eli: Maybe we should have stayed home...
Oh please, Eli, don't act like you didn't roll the TOMB EXPLORATION wish, too.
True to form, Gabi was not shy about opening, picking up, and touching everything in the house of a cadaver.
Eli helped, too.
Gabi: Come on, man, I need to pee!
Eli: Sucks, doesn't it.
Sibling telepathy: not just for twins.
Eli: If we got a pool-
Gabi: -We could put tons of fish in it!
They didn't fully explore the tomb because they were both shit-tired and it was morning already, but they shared a glitchy and triumphant brohug regardless.
The boys' parents were back at camp, being so concerned that their sons where out all night in a foreign country.
But forget about that, I mostly included this picture for this guy-
He's so cool! Too bad Lou isn't of age. That sounded less creepy before I typed it out.
Snake charming is a priority for Sanna.
The next day was their last day in Egypt, so I had Gabi go and say goodbye to Dunya. He went around to call on her at her back door, like a true Romeo.
Gabi: DUNYA, DUNYA, WHEREFORE ART THOU, DUNYA?
Dalida: I'll go get her for you.
Smooth moves.
Gabi: So, today is my last day here...are you okay with that?
Dunya: Don't be dramatic, I don't know you that well. It was nice to spend time with you.
Gabi: It was, wasn't it?
Gabi: I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU FOREVER, DUNYA
Dunya: Being dramatic again.
Gabi: By the way, your hair smells really nice.
Dunya: My hair does smell nice.
So concludes Gabi's first teen romance.
Gabi went back to camp for dinner. First off, that's a lot of onions, Rocco, and I feel bad for Sanna. Secondly, lmao what is that fucking monstrosity Gabi's roasting?!
Gabi: I'm going to need some food to handle the feelings I'm feeling.
Some?
Gabi: A lot.
Gabi: So that girl I met, Dunya...today is the last time I'll see her...
Gabi: BAWWWWW I'M GOING TO MISS HER
Rocco: There, there. I'm here for you.
They continued to bond and generally be the best friends ever.
Eli was sitting nearby, having to listen in. Feeling left out?
Eli: It's okay; I'm resigned to it.
Eli: Oh fuck!
Eli: AWWWW :(
Eli: UGH THIS IS SO GROSS
Stop complaining, Eli, it's unattractive.
Okay dude now you're just being dramatic
This is why he was so sadfaec, apparently
Eli: Hey! Gabi! How 'bout those tombs!
Eli: FINE me and my GARLIC BREATH will go elsewhere
(I later learned that Gabi was making that eww-face because of another sim on the lot who hadn't showered, lol.)
THAT'S SIX BELL PEPPERS
YOU JUST ATE
And that's all for Egypt!
Doing your homework two hours before school. Responsibility
Sanna: So, now that the kids are gone...
Time to make silly faces, of course.
They also shared secrets. They're 12-year-olds on the inside, lol.
Sanna you so cute
;___;
Sanna: Aww, honey...
Sanna: That's so corny, but I love it.
note; And that's where I leave you, because it was long enough lol. Next time...uh what's next time again? /loses job/ Right, next time there will be some prommingz, Gabi will have a girlfriend whom I won't approve of, Lou won't be ignored as much or even at all, and Eli will learn the secret of love and life. Not really, he'll just talk to his imaginary friend.
Thanks for reading :D!
