Uh-oh!! Tank's been taken! I wonder exactly *why* Stella had been dreading it? Hmmm.... But I'm sure we'll find out!!

Bunker is adorable.

And Frances... LOL! He's such a character, isn't he? All flighty and freaking-out-ish, lol! Gotta love it!

Oh, you'll find out soon enough!

Bunker makes the cutest sad and embarrassed expressions. They just HAD to be used.

Both Frances and Guy are such characters. Frances is always so uptight and can't really shed his spoiled rich kid attitude, meanwhile Guy is so nice and naive that he lets a teenage boy sleep in his bed and thinks nothing of it! I can't wait to write more for those two.

wow! Very intriguing ... and interesting!
is not really common to see a version of Tank who doesn't really get along with his dad too.... (that usually just Ripp's role lol)
and I'm very curious about that last line ... why's she dreading!

Great update! :)

Tank's relationship with his father is very complicated. He wants to get along with Buzz, but he still holds a grudge because he didn't get a job in the military. The most important thing to him though, is the well being of his son. Tank doesn't really know what Buzz is doing with Bunker over there, but since the discussion he had with Marina about what Ripp told her, he suspects something is up. Ripp apparently knows a bit more about the situation than Tank does, but we'll get to that a little later.

Stella's been a little paranoid since she has married Tank. She loves him and her family, but she fears that her past as a pollination technician in training is haunting her. I don't want to give much away so I won't say much else about it.

Oh, you know I HAD to use that line! ;)
Seriously, the couple begs to have some A Streetcar Named Desire references. ...And Frances can be Blanche DuBois.

I'm so glad that there's a ton of Bunker love! Out of all the sims I have, he is definitely the one I view as "my baby". I just want to make him happy all the time. Especially after I put him through all this crap in the story.

Is that a lullaby I hear?

I love abductions. I've seen them a million times and still love them.

I love your take on Frances, too.

Oh yes, there will definitely be a little Tank Grunt spawn in the future. He is the only sim besides the Curious brothers that I have ever had abducted. And the first time was autonomous! That just makes it even more awesome. The baby is actually already born, and I can't wait to show it off. Unfortunately, you guys have to wait a few more updates to actually see it.

That is actually the third time Tank was abducted just for the sake of that shot (didn't save afterward of course) and I still don't think it looks right. I love them too, but it happens so fast!

Thanks! My Frances definitely has a few screws loose, doesn't he? Oh, and Julia serving grilled cheese was a very hard one to shoot, because I kept having to use the moveobjects code on him because he kept running to the food. It was way too funny!

*snicker*

Well, that explains how he got so big and beautiful, always running to meals!

Actually, he didn't start doing that until I got Free Time and made him a part Grilled Cheese Sim. :P

Guy's the one who made him big and beautiful in the first place. At one point when they were in college, the refrigerator was empty for about two full semesters, and Guy took it upon himself to get pizza every time he got home from class. Because of how dedicated he was to not letting his man starve, I didn't know that it was empty until after Frances became fat.
