The twins were totally going to have a birthday party, but then one of them (Wisteria I think) came down with the flu. THE FLU!! I was in no way spreading *that* around my neighborhood. It is insanely contagious. So I said, here, have cake! And they grew up.
Wisteria had total hair fail and they needed some new clothes.
So since Huckleberry didn't (yet) have the flu, he went out for some new clothes ...
I rolled a dice for each of their aspirations, and each of them rolled something oddly appropriate. Our shy, playful, friend loving Huckleberry is a family sim who wants to be Captain Hero when he grows up (all that Cops and Robber must have really inspired him, ya?).
Our determined little Wisteria rolled Knowledge and she wants to max all seven of her skills. Makes sense why she worked so hard as a child -- constantly with her nose in a book. She wants to be smarter than everyone else (and let them know it too)!
Impromptu dance par-TAY! (Just in case you thought she was all work and no play XD)
Oh, have you forgotten? She has the flu.
And she still has it. And she shared it with Huckleberry and Scuba. Thankfully the next two days were snow days, and we could try to recover.
Wisteria: Oh boy! I'd *love* to go clean the toilet!! OH BOY!
Huckleberry: *mwah*
Huckleberry: *charms invisible mirror woman with his manly charms*
Huckleberry *sneaky sideways glances*
Me: Um, whatcha doing on the floor Huckleberry? You weren't there a second ago!
Huckleberry: Shh! You didn't see me! *walks away*
And he continues primping in the mirror. He is just laying down that charm!
Later that night ...
Huckleberry: Wha? Um? SHE WAS JUST HERE!!! O.O
Huckleberry: Pff! Unbelieveable! She just disappeared! I thought only I could do that!
Wisteria: *lands in bedroom*
Huckleberry: *is confused*
... it seems the twins are developing some unlikely abilities. Disappearing into thin air? Appearing in a completely different room? This is the stuff of science fiction, yo! WHAT IS GOING ON? Let's peek in on the conversation that followed Wisteria's little disappearing act ...
Huckleberry: So, sister, have you noticed anything different about us since our birthday?
Wisteria: Uh, you mean like we're taller? Duh!
Huckleberry: That's totally not what I meant! I meant for serious! Like being able to do weird things!
Wisteria: Yes!
Huckleberry: *anticipation*
Wisteria I can scrub the bathtub without falling in!! And I could even order pizza over the phone - if we had enough money!
Huckleberry: *feels dismayed and alone*
Me: Oh Wisteria, you STINKER! You know exactly what he's asking about - he's just way shy too come out and say it!
But, for once, she decides to take pity.
Wisteria: But do you mean things like being able to suddenly transport yourself into a different part of the house?
Wisteria: Because earlier today I thought about going into the bathroom to scrub the tub ... and I was suddenly there! I landed on the tiled floor in a cloud of smoke!
Huckleberry: Yes! Me too! I thought about going over to dance near the radio, and suddenly I was there!
Wisteria: Yeah, I was there painting when you did that.
Huckleberry: ... you saw me?
Wisteria: So ... wanna paint over our bedroom door since we don't need it anymore?? We could just think our way into the room!
Huckleberry: I was just thinking that! Papa would be so confused! *lolz*
Wisteria: We could cover it up and he'd never figure it out!
Huckleberry: He'd be all like, what? Didn't there used to be a room back here?
So they did.
Huckleberry: Yes! I'd love to make my bed!
... oooh 10 neat points makes sims so easy to please. LOL!
The Yarns spend another day or two at home, recovering from, catching again, and re-recovering from the flu. Huckleberry and Scuba had a few interesting conversations, from which I can only gather that Scuba is thinking about the twins' futures and who will be his heir. For example:
Scuba: Son, have you ever thought about taking a vacation?
Huckleberry: I have! I'd love to travel the world and see what there is to see!
Scuba: You should! Us Yarns are natural explorers and adventurers -- and that's treasure hunting at it's best.
Huckleberry: I could take a train, I think they're such interesting machines.
Scuba: *nods*
Huckleberry: Or a rocket! Talk about an awesome machine!
Huckleberry: Plus it goes to planets, like the ones I've seen through the telescope. *Those* would be an interesting place to take a trip!
Scuba: Well, you don't need to go on a rocket to get to a different planet, but yes! That would be so awesome!
Oh, and Huckleberry isn't the only one primping. Wisteria thinks she looks pretty good!
When the twins are allowed to go back to school, they put their new ability to good use:
Later that day while Scuba is digging for treasure ...
Huckleberry comes running off the bus waving his report card.
Huckleberry: *grins estatically*
Scuba: *claps* Yay for you Huckleberry!
Scuba: *continues digging*
Wisteria: Um hello? Papa? I got a good grade too! Papa?
Scuba: What is Wisteria going on about? Good grief!
And here we see Scuba head out for his newish job. He's a mascot for a local team. It's not the best, but maybe it will let him get his foot in the door.
Wisteria has become fond of eggplant juice. They purchase fresh eggplants at Mellow Grocery and she grinds them up in this here grinder.
It's nice and purple-y for my purple generation, plus, by drinking it she earns random skill points!
Wisteria: MMmmm, I can just feel myself getting smarter!
And thankfully Huckleberry has found an awesome recipe for Chicken Soup -- it's a very healing concoction. He makes several pots of it over the next few days as they all continue recovering from the ever present flu.
Huckleberry: *tastes soup* I think a little more ... salt?
Scuba: Oh my! Where'd Wisteria go? *confuzzled*
Scuba: Am I just going crazy? What is going on here?
Both twins rolled a want to have their first kiss, and so we began trying to meet attractive teenagers. Attractive to them, of course. Once they were over the flu, I sent them to some popular establishments around town. They visit the Pie Hole, but there's only grownups. There weren't even any teens for meeting at the park!
So we headed back home and I had Huckleberry call the Matchmaker. Then? This lovely girl walked by (Selah Marie Mellow, part of the extended Watson family). Huckleberry ran out to meet her and started to try to woo her with his awesome flirty ways. She wasn't really interested.
But they keep talking.
And talking. The matchmaker arrived, and seems to approve of Huckleberry's choice. She eventually leaves.
Selah Marie: And then he just rocked it out like this!
Huckleberry: Uh huh! That's such an awesome song!
He invites her inside, where he begins to fall for his charming ways.
Huckleberry: Oh Selah, your hair is just so beautiful!
Selah Marie: You really think so? *swoons*
Huckleberry: And then I'd shine my flashlight into the corner and BAM! There he is! I'd grab my handcuffs and slap them on his wrists and that's the end of that!
Selah Marie: Wow! How'd you know he was in the corner?
These two are a really good pair, they are both family sims who want to grow up and be Captain Hero (the top of the Law Enforcement career), so they have lots in common.
She is really cute though, isn't she?
Wisteria: So, did you see that move?
Huckleberry: Which one?
Selah Marie: The one with the speeding train chase? I love that one, the end with the monsters chasing the train off the tracks is so exciting!
Wisteria: It is! I think the best part is ...
Wait ? Did Selah just have a positive interaction with Wisteria too? She's friendly with BOTH twins? WOW! Awesome friendliness skills there girl, you're a keeper!
After a romantic dinner of Mac&Cheese, Huckleberry continues his wooing.
And Wisteria even approves! (I love that face, lol!)
Dance, dance, boogie boogie boogie!
Huckleberry & Selah Marie: *heart heart plus plus heart-y plus*
Woo hoo, I love teen crushes!
Next time with the Yarns: Love and hearts and kittens!
