Riley was pushing his best friend Kate on the swings while they waited for Noah and Lilah to join them at the park.
They were all best friends and played together frequently...
Yummy Marshmallows!
Uncle Jared and Connor joined in...
Having deep conversations (for 10 years olds).
All was wonderful....
Until.........the next day, Lilah spotted this..(her father and Kate's mother)...
Luke and Erika met the next day in back of his house (stoopid move!):
"Yell at him Lilah!" Noah was too mild mannered to raise his voice at his father, but his twin was more than willing to scream when needed.
Then she tore into Erika...
Luke was weak, he and Erika went right back to is after Lilah left.
The next day Lilah told Kate she didn't want to play with her anymore, Kate asked why but Lilah wouldn't give her a reason.
Lilah was very mad at Kate for some reason, and started calling Kate horrible names.
Kate decided to go home before Lilah decided to hit her or something worse, she had never seen Lilah that mad.
Kate raced over to Riley's house and told him what happened with Lilah, she was angry, sad and confused.
She had lost one of her best friends and couldn't figure out why.
"Riley, please don't ever leave me!" Kate teared up...she was heartbroken about Lilah but if Riley even left her she would be even worse.
"I won't ever leave you Kate, you are my best friend and always will be."
Back to Present Day.....
Kate had had enough of this, today was the day she would confront Lilah and try to get out of her why she had been vicious to her for the past 6 years.
Lilah was having none of it, whatever the reason was she wasn't going to spill it without a fight.
"Kate just get out of my face about this!"
"Then just tell me WHY Liliah.....all I want to know is why are you so peeved?"
"You want to know Kate.....try asking your mother!"
Kate wondered what her mother had to do with all this, she would ask her when she got home from work, she went to do her homework and calm down.
Lilah was an instigator and wanted nothing more than to p*iss*off Kate, Riley was an easy way to get the job done.
She blew Riley a kiss, she did not get the reaction she was hoping for from Riley...
She knew Kate would be over in about 2 seconds, she was very attached to alien boy for some reason.
Kate was pi*ss*ed!
When a werewolf is miffed.....they change, this was the first time Kate ever changed...
It freaked out Riley and Lilah passed out..."Good" though Kate!
Kate growled at Lilah...
Lilah smacked Kate with a rolled up newspaper...
"Ow, you jerk that hurt!!" Kate growled.
"Don't you ever hurt Kate you brat!" Riley was MAD...
He decided to kiss Kate, while she was still in here werewolf form, it didn't even gross him out, that's true love!
Kate confronted her mom when she got home.."Mother what did you do 6 years ago that could possibly make Lilah hate my guts, I NEED to know!"
"Why should I tell you Kate??"
"Because I'll ask dad about it!!" She bluffed...
"Okay, Okay...I may have flirted with and kissed her father a little...." Erika confessed..
"MOTHER Luke is married!!" Kate yelled..
"I know, I know! I broke it off with him...after 2 months.." she whispered...
"Gezus mother!! Kate yelled, you are so embarassing sometimes!"
Kate went over to Riley's house, she couldn't deal with her mother....
Marshmallows were a cure for pretty much everything.
..........................................................................................................
..............Outtakes and Sims Behaving VERY badly!................
...........................................................................................................
Riley and Kate became officially boyfriend/girlfriend..
Luke will obviously never learn.....luckily he kept getting shot down.
This update took two days and about 200 screenshots to get what I needed. I most likely will not post anything tomorrow as I'm getting 2 wisdom teeth and one back tooth that a Wintergreen lifesaver killed (crown popped off) pulled tomorrow, they will be putting me under and I'm very paranoid about that.... I've been seriously stressing about it for about a month!
Recap of what happened a few days ago...
Jared saw her from a distance...*was it really her, it had been almost 3 years*
Yes, it was her, it was Julia!
He asked why she was back in town, she said her mother had died so she could come back without any trouble.
It was almost as if no time had passed....
................................................................................... 3 Years ago, Summer Vacation
...................................................................................
Connor, Jared their parents and their cousins Brandon and Nate were settling in on their rented houseboat where they were vacationing on Isla Paradiso for a month.
Napping and drinking in the hot tub were prime activities...
Connor took to skinny dipping...
Nate being the biggest geek went right to the computer..
Down the road Julia was staying in a little cottage with her overbearing mother, she spied 4 guys in the water splashing around like kids.
She decided to go down to the water and check them out...one or two looked promising..one of the cute redheads came over and started chatting with her. he said his name was Connor.
He seemed nice enough and they had a lot on common..
He asked her out on a date for the next night, she said she would be happy to go.
Date night went very well...
They decided on a walk over to the Cemetery as Julia told Connor she loved Cemeteries, she loved reading the headstones.
He asked Julia if she would like to meet his family, she said she would love to..
Jared was the only one home he had a nice chat with her. Actually it looks like Nate was home too he must have been busy.
Connor had disappeared and Julia was getting tired so she took off.
More dates followed, Connor and Julia were inseparable the whole month..
Connor asked her to be his girlfriend a few days before they all went home.
The group decided to go down to the beach for one last sunny day of fun as they were going home the next day. Everyone played in the sand..
Julia got a horrible sunburn as did Brandon and Jared.
Everyone got ready to leave the next morning, Julia lived in Sunset too with her mother, and Connor was excited to find out she was going to be applying at the same building he worked at for Journalism, they might get to work together.
Connor started acting funny about a month after they all got back, Julia had indeed gotten a job in Journalism and due to her genius trait wound up being Connor's boss. This didn't seem to sit well with Connor as he was in his mid 30's and his 21 year old fresh out of college girlfriend was his boss.
They found a private spot to discuss the issues...
Julia told Connor he was being silly, he really didn't want to hear that...
The matter was pretty much swept under the rug. Things went back to semi normal.
Julia was working long hours, she and Connor started drifting apart...Connor was becoming better friends with Emma, who he had met at the diner one day.
Emma was a very forward girl....
Connor was so starved for attention he didn't resist...
They started seeing each other on the sly, and went everywhere together as long as Connor knew Julia was at work.
One day about a month into the affair Connor forgot Julia said she would be home early and would meet him at the diner...He met Emma there by mistake.
She wasn't surprised as Connor had been acting strange, but she wasn't happy about it either...
Emma felt her wrath too!
I have Never ever seen this before when Julia was leaving Connor started crying on Emma's shoulder! guess he will miss her..a little.
Julia headed right over to the nearest bar and ordered a round...the bartender has a warped sense of humor as they are Romantic drinks!
The last person she wanted to see was any relative of Connors but Jared saw she was sad and tried his best to cheer her up, he dragged her onto the dance floor.
She told him everything...
They went down to the beach for a few more drinks.
They to her surprise were getting along great! She had remembered Jared as kind of a j*erk.
Connor was a major pain the next day at work.
Gonna leave it here or it will be WAY too long, will try to post the rest tomorrow, after my teeth yanking.
Just a note about Emma and Connor smooching in the back of the diner and Julia catching them. That really happened in my game when I had only been playing a few weeks, Connor was my favorite and I had just made a Simself who was of course dating him. She went in back of the diner by herself and I saw it said accuse of cheating. I had never seen that before but Connor had been smooching with Emma (of all Sims!!), I was peeved beyond words and for 3 seconds I seriously thought about deleting Connor. My SS dumped him and stayed single for a long time.
I adore Julia, she is one of my oldest Sims and is named after my favorite grandmother, who I think would have gotten a kick out of my Sims, if she were still alive.
Connor was being quite a butt to Julia, he was heartbroken from the breakup and taking it out on her.
She tried to console him but he would attack her every time, so she gave up and went into work.
Jared and Julia has been getting close very fast, it was only a few weeks that they had been back from vacation and they were seeing each other every day.
The next night after a dinner at the Bistro, Jared did something he thought he would never ever do...
They hadn't known each other that long but it felt right so Julia said yes!
Up to the Cemetery for a private wedding *girl has a thing for cemeteries (like me IRL)*
The Happy newlyweds decided to spend their first night at Julia's house, it was quieter....until Julia's mother came in saw her all dressed up and asked what the occasion was, Julia happily announced she was married!
Julia's mother started screaming about her only being 21 and not old enough to be married.
"Mother, You were only 20 when you got married!" Julia tried to explain.
"Yes, and your dang father cheated on me every chance he got!" her mother yelled back
"Jared would never cheat on me!" Julia yelled.
"Jared, Who is Jared, I thought you were seeing Connor. Julia's mother questioned...
"Jared is Connor's Older brother, Connor cheated on me and Jared became someone very important to me very fast, I love him mom!"
"All men are alike, mark my words, you need to get away from this Jared fast before he cheats on you just like his brother!" Julia's mother insisted.
Jared heard the yelling from the bathroom and came out to try and talk to Julia's mother.
"I would never ever cheat on Julia, she means too much to me, I know we haven't known each other that long but I love her." He told her.
"Maybe so dear boy, but Julia is too young to be married, we will be leaving in the morning."
Julia knew her mother was not kidding, she was a very scary witch (literally) when she wanted to be. She knew one way or another she would be leaving with her mother. She decided to not tell Jared and to give him a wonderful wedding night.
Next morning Julia's mother barged in the bedroom, saw Jared and demanded to know if he had "violated" her daughter.
Jared shot back.."She's my wife and I most certainly did not violate her!"
She went over to Julia and demanded that she get dressed and get in the car or a fire blast would be thrown at Jared...
Julia was afraid of her mother, and afraid for Jared so she reluctantly got into the car and the drove off....
Jared watched helplessly....
He broke down and cried, for a long time, not even caring if anyone saw him in his state of undress on Julia's front porch..
He cried so much his eyes were red and puffy when he was done, He missed he so much.
There may be a small surprise for Jared tomorrow but then it's back to Kate and Riley.
I need a nap....will really try to post as much feedback as I can in a little while.
2 1/2 Years after Julia disappeared with her mother:
The day after they reconnected at the beach...
Julia called Jared and told him she had a surprise for him and to please be open minded. He got the address to her new house in town and rushed over...
He walked in and noticed a bunch of baby items around the house. Julia must be running a daycare he thought to himself.
A big hug and a bigger kiss....
Then Julia asked if Jared would like to see the surprise....He said he already saw that she was running a home daycare and thought it was a great idea!
"Um, I think you have the wrong idea Jared...I want you to meet your sons...." Julia prayed he would be happy with his children and not reject both them and her. Jared didn't even notice the two little boys playing on the floor when he walked in he was too eager to see Julia. She introduced him to Michael and Joseph...his twin sons who were conceived on their wedding night.
Michael:
Joseph:
Jared went right over to Michael and scooped him up,
"Joseph is my dad’s name" he said.
"Yes and Michael is your middle name” said Julia.
"I love them!!" Jared smiled.
He went over and picked up Joseph...
"I wish you could have told me about your pregnancy" sighed Jared.
"I wish I could have too but my mother moved up to somewhere called Bridgeport and magically locked me in the house, it was a spell even I couldn't figure out".
"The spell was broken when my mother got hit by a bus, I didn't want to be happy that she died but I admit I was, she was a hateful very evil woman".
The two decided right away that Jared would move in with Julia and the kids. Connor might be surprised that his ex girlfriend was now married and had two sons with his brother but Jared said he would just have to get over it if it peeved him, he dumped Julia and Jared was smart and lucky enough to grab her.
They spent the rest of the afternoon catching up and playing with their boys.
Jared took it upon himself to teach Joseph how to walk.
Then cuddle time..
Julia taught Michael how to walk..
Joseph playing with his blocks..
Jared playing with the peg box with Joseph..
A few minutes to do a bit of reading while Julia finished up teaching Michael how to walk.
Supper time!
Joseph looked at his "food"...
and decided "No Way!!"
Jared cleaned up the mess right away, he loved even the yucky parts of being a dad.
Joseph got a bath...
Michael played in the playpen..
Jared loved his kids!
Joseph's favorite hiding spot.
Julia had changed into her nightie, Jared noticed and rushed to get the kids to bed.
10 seconds later......he had missed his wife terribly!
Not sure what that thought bubble is but she keeps getting it!
Michael has recently discovered how to escape from his crib in the middle of the night and wander around getting into everything.
I had to change the time frame from 4 years to 2 1/2 because 3 year olds already know how to walk and talk. 4 years would also clash with when Jared was involved with Erika, which happened before he met Julia. Riley was not on vacation with his dad when they went to IP because he decided to stay home with Kate....lets say they were taking a summer class together, at the school.
My mouth is feeling better, took some of the heavy duty painkillers today because tylenol just wasn't doing it. I graduated to mashed potatoes and yogurt, I feel like a 6 month old!
Yup this one shocked me!! I was innocently taking a day off Sharon and Shea and decided to redo Thornton and Morgana's house...but when I saw adorable Thornton something told me to get on my old laptop and just do it! So I did.....
Unfortunately Thornton and Erika's fiance status was now obliterated (I started a new town since my old one with everyone from my Kate story was acting up). She rejected him twice even though their relationship was topped out, I couldn't figure it out until I checked her traits, I had given her unstable and insane so she would reject Jared's proposal way back when! I quick switch back to her normal traits and she accepted.
I seriously forgot how much I adore them! A quick dress change and a private wedding followed...with a few friends around .
Some bad behavior followed, Kate and Colby started flirting, which peeved Uncle Jared who predicted Kate would be like her mother (Colby started it!!)
Riley quickly shut out his brother...
Up to the Wedding venue to celebrate with family and friends....
Vlad played Disc Jockey all night!
Elizabeth and Edward, Erika and Thornton and Jared and his wife Julia enjoyed dancing all night..
Jared and Julia...
Elizabeth asked Luke to dance...
I was hoping for Billy and Luke to rekindle their relationship but forgot I had them as brothers in the family I used.
Decided to monkey wrench my Kate save a bit...it is behaving on my HP again, since I "divorced" Elizabeth and Edward because Erika and
Thornton are technically step brother and step sister if their parents are married...Thornton being Edward's Son and Erika being Elizabeth's Daughter. We are pretending they were not sent to China...yet.
I moved them into their nice big home again and let them do their own thing while I moved a few things around.
**Their Time machine started making funny noises and Erika went out to see what was what.
Suddenly a strange man popped out, he was cussing in an English accent...
"Bloody He*l*l!" he yelled...
He reached for Erika and gasped "Eliza, Oh thank God I found you!" he tried to kiss Erika...she was completely confused and pushed this British per*v*er*t away.
"What do you think you're doing you jerk!" she yelled..
"Eliza, why are you dressed like that and WHAT did you do to your hair??" the man whispered sadly.
"Listen buddy my name is not Eliza and WHO in the world are you?"
"And what is wrong with my hair??"
"Eliza you know me, it's Killian, we were going to be married, I had just asked your father for your hand when a bright purple light flashed and you changed into some very un-lady like clothes and cut your beautiful hair off...why Eliza, you were a beauty before...why!!"
************************************************************************************************************** **************************FLASHBACK to a few minutes before the purple flash**********************************
"Eliza darling your father has consented to my marrying you, will you be mine?"
That very second a purple light flashed and Killian was thrown out of the time machine into his current predicament.
Erika ran up the stairs to find Thornton, she was very upset with what had just happened and was in tears by the time she found him.
She threw herself into his arms and sobbed...she was mumbling about the crazy guy in the backyard and something about Eliza and pre*ve*rt...
Thornton was understandably distressed, what crazy guy, who was Eliza, was she a per*ve*rt?? After Erika calmed down she told Thornton the whole story, she gave him a big hug just as Killian walked in the bedroom.
Thornton started yelling at Killian, screaming about scaring his Erika...his wife...Killian insisted her name was Eliza and she was his fiance!
Screaming and fighting ensued...
Killian wanted to prove to Thornton that this woman was his Eliza, just dressed funny with an ugly haircut...he decided trying to give her a big hug would jar her memory.
All it did was get him slapped!
and jumped!!
and kicked out of the house and told to never ever return! Killian was extremely stressed out by all this, he needed to think, and couldn't lose sight of Eliza so he would stick close by the house, but first he needed to find a pub.
Eliza's mother was having problems with her daughter, the girl had no interest in her fiance Sir Tristan. He was a wonderful match for the daughter of a blacksmith and his wife. Tristan had a modest castle with expansive grounds, why Eliza had no interest in him Emma could not even guess, he was a handsome man to boot. Emma went to seek the advise of the village sorceress Juliana, it was rumored Juliana was an evil sorceress but Emma had little choice but to seek her council as she was the only sorceress within the nearest villages.
Emma asked Juliana to look into the future of her daughter and see what would be. Juliana looked into her crystal and told Emma exactly what she did not want to hear...that Eliza was in love with a man in black and not a law abiding man, a pirate.
Emma kept this information to herself, she would not bother her husband Edmund with such bad tidings. Emma messaged Sir Tristan to let him know Eliza would be in the park later that day for a social visit. Emma usually did not mettle in her daughter's life but she had to keep Eliza from meeting any men in black.
Eliza was in the park, she knew Sir Tristan would be there and her mother demanded she give him a chance. Eliza had met him several times before but never felt anything more than friendship for the man, she could not deny he was very handsome but he was nothing special to her. She did decide to humor her mother and give him another chance.
They chatted lightly for over an hour but Eliza just could not force herself to feel anything for the man.
Sir Tristan had a meeting with his father to attend to so he had to leave Eliza, he did love her but felt she did not feel the same about him. He didn't want to force himself on the girl but her mother was insistent that Eliza marry Tristan.
The next day Eliza had wandered down to the water, it was her favorite spot to sit and think. Today there was a majestic sight to be seen, a pirate ship had docked in the shallows, she watched in awe...(yes, that is @CravenLestat 's The Dutchess )
Eliza walked down closer to the beach to get a better look, she noticed a pirate, a real live pirate on the deck of the ship. She had read many books of the adventures of pirates in her youth, they were among her favorite stories.
Eliza was wandering around the village later that day, her head full of images of the pirate she had seen on the ship, she couldn't see him close but she suspected she would like to talk to him, a few seconds later she got her wish as she almost bumped into him, her mind was elsewhere and she was not paying attention to where she was walking. Eliza knew instantly he was the pirate she saw on the ship. They slid into easy conversation, he was very charming as all pirates were.
Within hours he was romancing her and she was smitten with him.
Eliza's father Edmund was walking home from work and caught sight of what was going on between his daughter and this man who was not Sir Tristan, a stop needed to be put to this.
Edmund told this strange man that Eliza was promised to Sir Tristan and to be off...
"But father, I do not love Sir Tristan"
"Love has nothing to do with this Eliza, Sir Tristan is a very good match and will be good for the whole family, you must think of your family...
This man is nothing but a pirate from the looks of him, no good will come of your conversing with him." Now you are to come home with me and never see this man again.
Eliza went with her father but knew in her heart she would be seeing her pirate again.
The next day....
Eliza went to the spot she had planned to meet Killian the next day, they had already set up a secret meeting for the next day before her father showed up. Unfortunately Tristan was already there by some cosmic coincidence, he tried to talk to Eliza, she did not want to hear his pleas to her.
He tried another way of reasoning...which backfired completely...
"Tristian, I know you are a good man but I do not love you, I love Killian and want to be with him, he has my heart.."
"Fine Eliza, but this is not over...I will have you in the end, mark my words."
With that he walked away to find Eliza's mother...
A few minutes later Killian came running to her, eager to profess his love for Eliza.
Tristan had found Emma and told her that Eliza had rejected him again. Emma wanted to know where Eliza was he told her down by the water. Emma ran down to the water, and found Eliza and a the man her husband had told her about, he was dressed all in black and sure looked like a bad seed to Emma. The sorceress was correct!! This had to end...Emma had a very bad feeling about this man.
Emma started in on Killian telling him her daughter was promised to a good man and he had better leave right now.
Eliza broke in an yelled at her mother (for the first time in her life) that she loved Killian and she would NOT marry Tristan!
Emma calmed a little and said one word to her daughter...."Fine" it was the scariest word Eliza had ever heard out her mother's mouth, the way she said it was chilling.
After she left Killian comforted Eliza, he uttered the words she had wanted to hear from him..."I love you Eliza"
Killian had just stated that he had asked he father for her hand in marriage *a little pirates lie as he had never asked*
When he caught her out of the corner of his eye...saw a flash...
and was thrust in front a strange door which he walked into willingly as if his brain was not his own....
Eliza stood there spellbound, where had Killian gone, he just vanished! there was no one else around....where had he gone???? She stood there for hours wondering...wishing he would come back.
"Did it work, is he gone forever?" Emma asked Juliana anxiously..
"Yes, it worked, now we have to put the spell on your daughter.."
"Will it hurt her, I don't want her in pain Juliana"
"I'm not some sort of amateur Emma, I know what I'm doing!" snarled Juliana
.........Back to the present........
Thornton decided he couldn't just throw the stranger out in the street but everyone was too keep a close eye on him and Killian had been warned he would be knocked out if he tried anymore funny business with Erika. Kate found Killian fascinating for some reason, he talked like he was from a far away place and reminded her of a character in a book she had read once, the character was a pirate. She had cornered him 3 times and begged him to tell her stories for the past two days he had been staying with them.
Erika was still leery of Killian but was warming up to him despite his still calling her Eliza on occasion, and constantly harping that she should grow her hair longer.
Killian had told Kate all about what happened before the purple flash, what he remembered anyways, he was talking to Eliza, just about to kiss her when he felt a force pulling him towards a strange box that he got into against his will. He said there was some snapping noises then a purple flash and he was in this strange land. Kate told her mom the strange story and asked if she thought the Time Machine that had been sitting in the yard since they bought the house had anything to do with it. Erika had not told Kate that she had found Killian by the Time Machine but it was all starting to make sense. Erika decided to tell Killian she was going to try to find a way to get him back home.
Killian was only half listening his hand went up to Erika's cheek and he murmured "You look so much like her..." while stroking her cheek.
"Killian you can't do that anymore, I am not Eliza, you know this..." Killian was stressed beyond belief, he was hanging by a thread and feared he would never see his Eliza ever again.
He went to bed thinking of his love...her beautiful face was etched in his mind..
Juliana was busy putting the Love Charm on Eliza...
Now to make sure it worked...
Yup, it worked!
But Juliana picked up on some residual Killian thoughts floating around Eliza's head and growing stronger, she needed to double wammy Eliza, her love for that stinky pirate much be very true to have residue like that Juliana thought...
She put an even more potent Love Spell on Eliza...
The pirate was gone!
Tristan looked to Juliana and she nodded slightly, it was time...
Eliza was very happy, the man of her dreams had just asked her to be his.
Eliza excused herself, she was very tired and thought it best to get to bed.
Juliana called Tristan over...
"Wonderful my pet, you did exactly as I told you" she purred...
"Why does my head feel funny"...he said to no one in particular..he was feeling a bit dizzy.
Tristan my sweet, you did so well you deserve a reward....and she grabbed him.
Meanwhile upstairs sleeping peacefully in her bed....Eliza was having sweet dreams of her Tristan.
**This part of the story is not going to change how Kate was originally going to end, it actually is just a fun little diversion, it may impact a few characters in Kate's story but not in any major way.
Eliza has been happily settling in to Tristan's estate (in a separate wing from him as they are not married yet), she has been getting to know the servants and is closest to the handsome Brien..
Brien works in the kitchen..
Though nobody will claim he is is wiz in the kitchen since he tried to start the house on fire today preparing Autumn SALAD!! *That's talent*
Eliza was the only one who even tried to put the fire out.
Later that night Brien thanked Eliza for saving his job, she had gone to Tristan after the fire and begged him to not kick Brien out of the house.
Brien stood there a few seconds too long, he seemed lost in his thoughts..
Eliza was feeling very brave, she leaned over to Brien and whispered in his ear "I would like to kiss you.."
He obliged......
in the midst of kissing Brien heard Eliza whisper "Killian"...
"Who in the world is Killian??" Brien shouted...
"I have no idea!" Eliza yelled back honestly as she really had no idea who Killian was or why she had said his name while kissing the handsome cook.
"Forget it Milady, that should have never happened anyways..."
Later in her bed a strange man in black haunted her dreams.......
We left off with Eliza jumping into the Time Machine:
A that very same moment in a far into the future time...Kate dragged Killian out to the Time Machine, she had been playing with the baby chickens close by and heard the strange machine start to make noises. It had been 2 months that Killian had been "trapped" (as he always said) here and in that time Erika, Kate and Killian figured out the time machine could be activated somehow but they couldn't figure out how.
Killian stood by the machine for a few minutes but was losing hope and almost decided to go in the house when all of a sudden........
Killian was overjoyed to see his beloved Eliza!
"Killian, my mother was behind all this, she had a witch put a curse on me to forget you, it must have slowly worn off because I started dreaming about you, but I didn't know who you were. All of a sudden I remembered who your were when I saw a pirate flag in the sitting room at Tristan's house."
"Tristan the man you were supposed to marry?" Killian asked.
"Yes, my mother also had the witch put a love spell on me so I would fall in love with him, but it's gone now, he's no longer any part of my life, he was not a very kind man." "I think I needed to remember you"
"Was he mean to you, if he was mean to you I swear......." Killian was getting mad..
"No Killian, we just had a big fight because I remembered you and he wouldn't tell me where you were, you had just vanished before my eyes that day, I had no idea what happened to you..." Eliza said quietly.
"None of this matters we're together now!" Killian said.
Kate was very curious about the lady who popped out of the Time Machine, judging by the way Killian was acting she assumed this was Eliza, Kate could see why Killian kept calling her mother Eliza, she really did look like her.
Kate and Eliza talked for quite a while, Kate quizzed Eliza about when she was from and what life was like back then, Kate like Eliza immensely.
Kate told Eliza about her mother Erika and how they looked like they could be sisters...
Eliza decided she would like to meet this Erika, and gave Kate a huge hug, she was a delightful child.
Erika was not home then but Killian knew she would be home in the morning so he took Eliza to meet Erika the next morning. The were both stunned at how sister like they looked, and had a nice chat, Erika was charmed by how polite Eliza was. Eliza wondered to herself exactly what a "butt head" was when Erika said Tristan sounded like one after Eliza had told her the story of how she wound up here.
Soon Killian said it was time they would be leaving, it was decided the night before that they would return to their own time but move far away from Dragon Valley...they said their goodbyes.
They leaped into the Time Machine together....
And wound up back in Dragon Valley next to an abandonded cabin where they could stay as Killian knew it was miles away from the other Time Machine down in the town. He wondered aloud just how many Time Machines were in this town!!
A few days later Kate was helping her grandmother Elizabeth unpack. Newlyweds Elizabeth and Edward had purchased a nice new house for themselves and had been moving in all weekend. Kate was checking out all the rooms and worked her way to one of the bedrooms on the third floor her grandmother was behind her explaining what needed to be moved up to the room when she heard Kate gasp loudly...
"Gram, what are you doing with these paintings of Killian and Eliza??"
Elizabeth was not surprised she had hung the paintings where she knew Kate would see them...
"Would you like to know some more about the strange visitor you had living with you for 2 months?"
"Oh yes!" Kate said excitedly, she loved Killian he was an excellent story teller and was her real life pirate, his accent was cool too!
"Well dear, he is your great great great great great....(add a few more probably, I didn't do the math) grandfather."
"No way! Really!!!" Kate was thrilled to hear she was related to Killian.
"What about Eliza? Did they get married?"
"Yes, they certainly did, you are named after their daughter Katherine" one of their three children.
"Gram, tell me all about them...."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Killian and Eliza sold the jewelry that Tristan had given Eliza and bought a replacement for The Dutchess which a bunch of rival pirates had taken over in Killian's absence. Their new boat was almost a carbon copy but was much nicer inside with all their riches, they had traveled the world with their three children, Katherine, Kyle and Erin.
Erika and Thornton have been busy since the wedding...
Maybe a bit too busy....Wonder if Luke, Sophia and Billy know their neighbors are not only using their Practice Dummy but also barfing in your backyard!
Hopefully Thornton would take the news as gracefully as he did when Erika was pregnant with Kate 16 years ago.
He seems happy enough...
Happily pregnant.
Hey Kate you're going to be big sister!
Towards the end of her pregnancy I dared have her watch the kids channel, I figured it was late enough to not make a difference. She and Thornton watched it all night, seriously neither moved!
Thornton crashed in the morning...
Erika went into labor while Kate and Riley were making out on the couch...they didn't seemed disturbed by the moans and groans at all!
She went outside plopped Hannah on the nice frost covered ground, (it was 34 degrees out, I checked!!), then had baby number 2...Kerri (Matthew named her).
She brought Kerri in the house so I had Thornton rescue his daughter from a frigid death...
He even gave her a bottle in his undies in in the freezing cold, what a great dad!
Last baby pictures....like I said fast tracking..After the kids age up to toddler it is 14 months in the future, Kate and Riley are both now 17 years old.
Hannah aged up, Werewolf!!
Kerri aged up, Also Werewolf!! Werewolf genes (Thornton) must trump witch...(Erika)..
Riley and Kate having fun with the babies!
Teaching them how to walk...
Erika decided Killian was right and grew out her hair in the past 14 months...
Luke stopped by to talk to Erika, things always go overboard with them...as Luke was Juiced to the gills, Erika had had a few too...
Juiced make out....(love how it bothers a 2 year old)!
Kerri started crying, I wonder how Luke survived through his two kids..!
A Juiced woohoo was to follow...but seriously Luke is the bed right next to Erika's husband the best place??
Erika got sidetracked thank goodness! no woohoo for her...
she and Luke met outside though..
I'm thinking she Wanted to get caught!!
Erika started muttering about feeling neglected since the babies were born, how Thornton would rather be at work than with her and the kids! He hardly spent any time with Kate throughout her pregnancy, he hadn't even seen his grandson...
Thornton thought about it for 2 seconds and agreed, he had been pretty preoccupied at work lately and was tired when he got home and hardly spent any time with Erika. He knew Luke would very happily spend tons of time with Erika and did NOT want that to happen...Time for some changes!
Spending more time with the wife...
Riley being an awesome dad...
Thornton chatting with Riley, he had some very happy news for Riley, Kate and William...
A short Kate one, Thornton and Erika were NOT cooperating today...I contemplated deleting them both and making Kate an orphan!
Things started out fine, Thornton was doing some rock climbing on the wall..
He was obviously thinking about Erika, so I though a few smooches were in order...
They once again went through the no romantic actions, none were available at all except take romantic picture together. Erika is a Hopeless Romantic and that had vanished off her choices. I check to see if somehow they had become step siblings again but nope they both showed as married...I tried resetting them...nope. They both must have been miffed that I made Erika cheat on Thornton...geeze it was only 1 juiced makeout, it doesn't even count!! I decided to delete them and put in their stand ins from my library, luckily I had saved them last night. They had no romantic issues at all...
THIS was the surprise for Kate, Riley and Will...a brand new house bought for them by Edward and Thornton. Yes, Kate and Riley are both still teens (but it is very easy to have teens live alone modless). I'm planning on aging them up tomorrow, Will will get aged up too. I wanted Kate and Riley to thank Thornton and Edward but Riley went to school and Kate slept ALL day..she wouldn't answer the door even though I had Thornton keep ringing the dang doorbell!
Colby was a lonely brooding chap who had been semi secretly (lets be honest everyone knew!) in love with his half brother's girlfriend since he met her a few years ago. After Kate had Riley's baby a year ago Colby had become even more broody and depressed, he needed a diversion to get his mind off Kate. Connor decided to take Colby into the future for a bit of a vacation, who knows maybe Colby would meet the woman, man or whatever of his dreams!
Connor decided he wanted to get a plumbot because the house they were in now was huge and since everyone worked or went to school it could get pretty nasty as they were all too tired to clean, Colby tagged along on the shopping trip. Not sure what that woman is looking for in a plumbot but this one didn't seem to suit her needs...
Connor decided on the model behind him then tweaked it beyond recognition to make the pink/purple one he is talking to, her name is Rosey.
Colby getting to know their new housemate..
Time for a tune up...
Guess he did something wrong...something Very wrong!!
She must be playing a lullaby...a very effective one!
Having a bit of fun before heading home..
They got home just in time for Colby to age up...
*Co*ck*y*!!
Now is where the story takes a turn and some of this will not be taking place, Jared was being used as my stand in for Colby as this Jared doesn't matter, he is an extra. I just wanted to see if what I wanted to do is possible, BTW....it's not, so Colby's happy ending is still up in the air. I'm only posting these because it was a fun little diversion and I love Jared so...
Jared: "Seriously....you want me to do WHAT with this thing?"
Jared: shaking his head making a sour face...pouting.."Seriously???"
Jared obviously isn't overjoyed and it appears very bored with my little experiment...
Time to get over all that Jared, warp speed relationship time!
Not so terrible huh Jared..
Jared was getting a bunch of Rosie related wishes, watch the stars was one and since was almost morning they went out before there were no stars to watch....
True Love! The chickens are even questioning Rosie and Jared's relationship.
She is sharing her true feelings (I think that is what the action is called):
Another huge warp speed...normally I would have Jared propose but the action never showed up for him.
And a quickie wedding!
Now to see if it works.....
No woohoo action, expected that, but Get Frisky is there..yeah! BUT it only lasts for the 2 days that they are newlyweds.
I best try it out....just to make sure.
They got interrupted the first try...Stoopid CONNOR!!!!
Connor OUT....!
Rosie: "Your brother is a real pain in the butt!"
Then the notice that everyone had to go to Colby's graduation showed up...They snuck in a quick "Get Frisky" before they left to the graduation.
Well that worked!
Awwww!! They actually do make a cute couple...though Jared could be with Bigfoot and I'd probably be cheering for him.
These are from before I decided to use Jared as my guinea pig...I didn't want Colby any moodier than he is normally if things went south, which they do...only two days of woohoo does not make for a fulfilling marriage.
Don't barf Jared she's going to be your wife in about 1/2 hour!
Colby turned out really nice (thank you Mark @thuggishsplicer !!), I see more of Connor in him than Agnes...
Now I will finish up on feedback, I have a package of Oreos as a reward when I do finish!
This is what she normally looks like and it is what she looked like when she and Connor were married almost 20 years ago, back before the birth of Colby.
This is her look today 3 years after she dumped Colby with his dad and checked herself into a "spa" to get her head on strait since she has had a hard time with life since her husband's death and her divorce from Connor. She finally feels like a happy person again.
Colby's Graduation:
Colby is technically a few years older than Kate and Riley, when I got him from Mark @thuggishsplicer he was a YA so I aged him down to teen to fit in with the story when he moved in with his dad (Connor) and met his half brother Riley. Colby is Agnes Crumplebottom and Connors child from a very short lived marriage of less than a year.
Heading to the Town Hall for the ceremony, something must have set Kate off as she is in werewolf mode:
Colby still thinking about Kate...
Colby was voted "Most likely to be married" *I'm working on it!!*
Seriously Colby..give it up, she's not available, or maybe he just loves the gift she gave him.
Had to get everyone being lovey dovey...
Colby with his mom and dad...Connor had not seen her for three years, Colby called her and invited her to his graduation.
Colby had a party to go to with the rest of his graduating class so he said goodbye to his parents and ran off to have some fun (or spend the night brooding...looking out a window sighing heavily).
Connor got brave and asked Agnes if she would like to get a bite to eat..it would be nice to catch up with his ex. They only got divorced because Agnes was still not over her first husband's death, she would spend hours sitting by his gravestone in her front yard. She did love Connor, she met him shortly after Erik's death and he was wonderful in helping her deal with the shock of Erik's death, but she never quite got over him fully, she always felt his presence around her house.
They had a wonderful supper at the Bistro and caught up with how Agnes's life was going, Connor was glad to hear she felt wonderful and had even started calling her sister Cornelia on a regular basis to catch up and talk for hours. Connor was surprised to find out Colby had been calling his mom on the sly for months too, he never mentioned talking to her to Connor.
They talked for hours...
It felt like old times...
Connor knew Agnes's favorite spot was the beach so he asked if she would like to go for a walk on the beach, she accepted....things progressed.
Connor noticed Agnes was wearing a wedding band, it looked like the one he gave her when they got married all those years ago, Connor asked her why she was still wearing it.
Agnes admitted she hoped she and Connor could get back together, she knew she messed up the marriage with her obsession with her first husband but he was gone as she was finally over him. She and Connor would definitely have to discuss this....
I decided to send Connor, Thornton and Colby into the future for a fun weekend after Colby's graduation. I also wanted to have Thornton and Connor meet their descendants. Meet the descendants they did and immediately started flirting with them! So I had a couple days of Sims behaving poorly, flirting with great granddaughters throwing wishes to skinny dip with said great granddaughters etc...I'm all for poorly behaved Sims but that was a tad much. I then seeded the town with two girls for Colby, who's only poor behavior was trying to flirt with a plumbot he had made friends with (at my hand...the friendship not the flirting, she had the "capacity to Love chip..oops!)...That plumbot idea for Colby would have worked out great... .
This is Kyle Gold (Game picked first name I loved it, even though I have a male cousin named Kyle), she WAS a descendant of Thornton's until I binned her and totally tweaked her...because he kept doing bad things to her. This was taken after I tweaked her and she was no longer a descendant of Thornton's, he still did a few semi romantic moves to her after they became friends, mostly holding hands, but I didn't need it progressing..
NO! Thornton, she is not for you...and if you think for a few seconds you might remember you are Married! .
He really did like her and her sister who I deleted, I threw in a Kate clone, aged her up to YA and tweaked her a little but not much. Figured he wouldn't go after his own daughter but of course the relationship was broken and boy did he go after her!
This is the sister I deleted...
This is Kassie, (red dress) Kate's clone tweaked a bit, slimmed down mostly. She was plopped in the Wolff descendants household specifically for Colby, because he loves SV Kate so much...
No attraction whatsoever, no wishes to pillow fight with her or anything, which surprised me but it turned out to be a good thing as I thought about it and decided having Colby with someone who looked like Kate and could very well be her granddaughter was too weird.
Colby and Kyle's introduction went much better and she is not related to the Wolff's at this point, just living with them. She is already thinking about dragging Colby to bed!
That's right Thornton, you just got the faithful moodlet with your Wife, you wouldn't want to ruin that now would you?
Colby wished to go on a date with Kyle, they decided to go dancing at The Erutuf.
Did a bit of dancing:
A bit of Hugging:
Then went beck to the Wolff house and decided a soak in the hot tub would be a good idea...looks like Colby thinks she has cute feet..
Some cuddling...
He finally looks happy!
Meanwhile Back in SV:
Riley look a bit miffed about the prospect of William aging up:
I really don't want to count this as a Kate update because only one important think happened, the rest is just messing around and not paying attention to my game!
This is the important thing...
Kyle went back from the future with Colby...
BUT this Kyle didn't know this Colby because I couldn't add her to the family in the future so I threw a copy with Colby after he got back (shattering all illusions...sorry), they were only acquaintances when I pressed kiss and expected yelling, but got a great result! Shockingly!!
Literally the next move....
I zipped them up to best friend, had Colby ask to go steady then of course threw them over to the time machine for some woohoo in the past!
They look so happy....and of course one has to go and misbehave! I had nothing at all to do with this, I was watching Cold Mountain and not paying attention to what these little buggers were up to.
Kyle found my duplicate Jared, I KNEW I should have gotten rid of him!! she complimented his athleticism...he flirted back...
Then she does THIS...which I swear I had nothing to do with because I was busy watching my duplicate teen Riley get abducted! Guess his mom wanted to see her boy!!
Riley getting home from his abduction! Jared getting peeved at Kyle (good boy Jared!):
I zipped her up to friends with everyone in the house, bad idea, she climbed into bed with Connor. If she is dreaming of running away form Colby it won't work!
Not her colors (she's a warm girl not cool) but since Lisa reminded me of this mystery store pattern I decided to throw it on a temporary formal outfit for Kyle, I may check if the colors can be tweaked tomorrow.
This is Kenji Black, he is a gift to me from me...I spent literally 2 1/2 hours making him and trying on all sorts of outfits on him and recoloring the heck out of them, I LOVE him!! Kenji was the first random name to show up and I thought it fit him. He's also got some pr*ick-ish traits which I adore. He's a "starer" ...occasionally I get a Sim when I'm creating him or her who loves staring...boring into my eyeballs while I'm picking out clothes for them, he was an extreme case! I only have one other Sim who was as bad as him, it's a bit creepy.
And one outtake, Teen Colby learning how to drive from YA Colby!!
Comments
I wanted to get this one posted because I'm probably going to be way too busy tomorrow..
Everyone spent the day at the beach, it was getting dark but no one wanted to leave.
Lilah and Ethan seemed to be bonding, he's sweet and innocent, she's a rotten child...what could possibly go wrong.
Colby, Kate and Riley spent the day hanging out together..
Colby was starting to feel like a third wheel so he went to talk to the others.
Kate and Riley were having a nice private conversation.
Kate got up the nerve to ask if Riley would like to watch the stars with her..she was very happy he said yes.
While looking through the screenshots, I spotted Connor and Thornton sitting in the lounge chairs seemingly spying on what their kids were doing.
I loved this type of picture with Thornton and Erika and decided it would be nice to have Kate and Riley in the same pose.
Riley decided to bite the bullet and get brave...
Then he got Really brave!
They snuck back to Riley's house before anyone else came home.
Colby walked in on this...he had been developing feelings for Kate and was a bit crushed by what he saw.
He disappeared up to his room and slammed the door...
Kate and Riley were in their own little bubble and didn't hear it.
.............................................
.............................................
Meanwhile across town, Kate's grandmother was spending some quality time with Edward.
The next day, Elizabeth and Edward were going to go out to eat but Edward led her down to their beach first.
A very overdue, very important question needed to be asked.
Edward being the gentleman got down on one knee and asked his beloved to be his wife.
a big YES!
The wedding was already being discussed, they decided on a small affair with only close family on their beach.
Happy!!
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
Flashback 6 Years Ago.....
Riley was pushing his best friend Kate on the swings while they waited for Noah and Lilah to join them at the park.
They were all best friends and played together frequently...
Yummy Marshmallows!
Uncle Jared and Connor joined in...
Having deep conversations (for 10 years olds).
All was wonderful....
Until.........the next day, Lilah spotted this..(her father and Kate's mother)...
Luke and Erika met the next day in back of his house (stoopid move!):
"Yell at him Lilah!" Noah was too mild mannered to raise his voice at his father, but his twin was more than willing to scream when needed.
Then she tore into Erika...
Luke was weak, he and Erika went right back to is after Lilah left.
The next day Lilah told Kate she didn't want to play with her anymore, Kate asked why but Lilah wouldn't give her a reason.
Lilah was very mad at Kate for some reason, and started calling Kate horrible names.
Kate decided to go home before Lilah decided to hit her or something worse, she had never seen Lilah that mad.
Kate raced over to Riley's house and told him what happened with Lilah, she was angry, sad and confused.
She had lost one of her best friends and couldn't figure out why.
"Riley, please don't ever leave me!" Kate teared up...she was heartbroken about Lilah but if Riley even left her she would be even worse.
"I won't ever leave you Kate, you are my best friend and always will be."
Back to Present Day.....
Kate had had enough of this, today was the day she would confront Lilah and try to get out of her why she had been vicious to her for the past 6 years.
Lilah was having none of it, whatever the reason was she wasn't going to spill it without a fight.
"Kate just get out of my face about this!"
"Then just tell me WHY Liliah.....all I want to know is why are you so peeved?"
"You want to know Kate.....try asking your mother!"
Kate wondered what her mother had to do with all this, she would ask her when she got home from work, she went to do her homework and calm down.
Lilah was an instigator and wanted nothing more than to p*iss*off Kate, Riley was an easy way to get the job done.
She blew Riley a kiss, she did not get the reaction she was hoping for from Riley...
She knew Kate would be over in about 2 seconds, she was very attached to alien boy for some reason.
Kate was pi*ss*ed!
When a werewolf is miffed.....they change, this was the first time Kate ever changed...
It freaked out Riley and Lilah passed out..."Good" though Kate!
Kate growled at Lilah...
Lilah smacked Kate with a rolled up newspaper...
"Ow, you jerk that hurt!!" Kate growled.
"Don't you ever hurt Kate you brat!" Riley was MAD...
He decided to kiss Kate, while she was still in here werewolf form, it didn't even gross him out, that's true love!
It did gross out Lilah, that was just a bonus!
...............................................................
...............................................................
Kate confronted her mom when she got home.."Mother what did you do 6 years ago that could possibly make Lilah hate my guts, I NEED to know!"
"Why should I tell you Kate??"
"Because I'll ask dad about it!!" She bluffed...
"Okay, Okay...I may have flirted with and kissed her father a little...." Erika confessed..
"MOTHER Luke is married!!" Kate yelled..
"I know, I know! I broke it off with him...after 2 months.." she whispered...
"Gezus mother!! Kate yelled, you are so embarassing sometimes!"
Kate went over to Riley's house, she couldn't deal with her mother....
Marshmallows were a cure for pretty much everything.
..........................................................................................................
..............Outtakes and Sims Behaving VERY badly!................
...........................................................................................................
Riley and Kate became officially boyfriend/girlfriend..
Luke will obviously never learn.....luckily he kept getting shot down.
A prediction????
LOL!!
Connor nearly squished Mark!
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
This update took two days and about 200 screenshots to get what I needed. I most likely will not post anything tomorrow as I'm getting 2 wisdom teeth and one back tooth that a Wintergreen lifesaver killed (crown popped off) pulled tomorrow, they will be putting me under and I'm very paranoid about that.... I've been seriously stressing about it for about a month!
Recap of what happened a few days ago...
Jared saw her from a distance...*was it really her, it had been almost 3 years*
Yes, it was her, it was Julia!
He asked why she was back in town, she said her mother had died so she could come back without any trouble.
It was almost as if no time had passed....
...................................................................................
3 Years ago, Summer Vacation
...................................................................................
Connor, Jared their parents and their cousins Brandon and Nate were settling in on their rented houseboat where they were vacationing on Isla Paradiso for a month.
Napping and drinking in the hot tub were prime activities...
Connor took to skinny dipping...
Nate being the biggest geek went right to the computer..
Down the road Julia was staying in a little cottage with her overbearing mother, she spied 4 guys in the water splashing around like kids.
She decided to go down to the water and check them out...one or two looked promising..one of the cute redheads came over and started chatting with her. he said his name was Connor.
He seemed nice enough and they had a lot on common..
He asked her out on a date for the next night, she said she would be happy to go.
Date night went very well...
They decided on a walk over to the Cemetery as Julia told Connor she loved Cemeteries, she loved reading the headstones.
He asked Julia if she would like to meet his family, she said she would love to..
Jared was the only one home he had a nice chat with her. Actually it looks like Nate was home too he must have been busy.
Connor had disappeared and Julia was getting tired so she took off.
More dates followed, Connor and Julia were inseparable the whole month..
Connor asked her to be his girlfriend a few days before they all went home.
The group decided to go down to the beach for one last sunny day of fun as they were going home the next day. Everyone played in the sand..
Julia got a horrible sunburn as did Brandon and Jared.
Everyone got ready to leave the next morning, Julia lived in Sunset too with her mother, and Connor was excited to find out she was going to be applying at the same building he worked at for Journalism, they might get to work together.
Connor started acting funny about a month after they all got back, Julia had indeed gotten a job in Journalism and due to her genius trait wound up being Connor's boss. This didn't seem to sit well with Connor as he was in his mid 30's and his 21 year old fresh out of college girlfriend was his boss.
They found a private spot to discuss the issues...
Julia told Connor he was being silly, he really didn't want to hear that...
The matter was pretty much swept under the rug. Things went back to semi normal.
Julia was working long hours, she and Connor started drifting apart...Connor was becoming better friends with Emma, who he had met at the diner one day.
Emma was a very forward girl....
Connor was so starved for attention he didn't resist...
They started seeing each other on the sly, and went everywhere together as long as Connor knew Julia was at work.
One day about a month into the affair Connor forgot Julia said she would be home early and would meet him at the diner...He met Emma there by mistake.
She wasn't surprised as Connor had been acting strange, but she wasn't happy about it either...
Emma felt her wrath too!
I have Never ever seen this before when Julia was leaving Connor started crying on Emma's shoulder! guess he will miss her..a little.
Julia headed right over to the nearest bar and ordered a round...the bartender has a warped sense of humor as they are Romantic drinks!
The last person she wanted to see was any relative of Connors but Jared saw she was sad and tried his best to cheer her up, he dragged her onto the dance floor.
She told him everything...
They went down to the beach for a few more drinks.
They to her surprise were getting along great! She had remembered Jared as kind of a j*erk.
Connor was a major pain the next day at work.
Gonna leave it here or it will be WAY too long, will try to post the rest tomorrow, after my teeth yanking.
Just a note about Emma and Connor smooching in the back of the diner and Julia catching them. That really happened in my game when I had only been playing a few weeks, Connor was my favorite and I had just made a Simself who was of course dating him. She went in back of the diner by herself and I saw it said accuse of cheating. I had never seen that before but Connor had been smooching with Emma (of all Sims!!), I was peeved beyond words and for 3 seconds I seriously thought about deleting Connor. My SS dumped him and stayed single for a long time.
I adore Julia, she is one of my oldest Sims and is named after my favorite grandmother, who I think would have gotten a kick out of my Sims, if she were still alive.
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
Continuation of Julia and Jared's backstory.
Connor was being quite a butt to Julia, he was heartbroken from the breakup and taking it out on her.
She tried to console him but he would attack her every time, so she gave up and went into work.
Jared and Julia has been getting close very fast, it was only a few weeks that they had been back from vacation and they were seeing each other every day.
The next night after a dinner at the Bistro, Jared did something he thought he would never ever do...
They hadn't known each other that long but it felt right so Julia said yes!
Up to the Cemetery for a private wedding *girl has a thing for cemeteries (like me IRL)*
The Happy newlyweds decided to spend their first night at Julia's house, it was quieter....until Julia's mother came in saw her all dressed up and asked what the occasion was, Julia happily announced she was married!
Julia's mother started screaming about her only being 21 and not old enough to be married.
"Mother, You were only 20 when you got married!" Julia tried to explain.
"Yes, and your dang father cheated on me every chance he got!" her mother yelled back
"Jared would never cheat on me!" Julia yelled.
"Jared, Who is Jared, I thought you were seeing Connor. Julia's mother questioned...
"Jared is Connor's Older brother, Connor cheated on me and Jared became someone very important to me very fast, I love him mom!"
"All men are alike, mark my words, you need to get away from this Jared fast before he cheats on you just like his brother!" Julia's mother insisted.
Jared heard the yelling from the bathroom and came out to try and talk to Julia's mother.
"I would never ever cheat on Julia, she means too much to me, I know we haven't known each other that long but I love her." He told her.
"Maybe so dear boy, but Julia is too young to be married, we will be leaving in the morning."
Julia knew her mother was not kidding, she was a very scary witch (literally) when she wanted to be. She knew one way or another she would be leaving with her mother. She decided to not tell Jared and to give him a wonderful wedding night.
Next morning Julia's mother barged in the bedroom, saw Jared and demanded to know if he had "violated" her daughter.
Jared shot back.."She's my wife and I most certainly did not violate her!"
She went over to Julia and demanded that she get dressed and get in the car or a fire blast would be thrown at Jared...
Julia was afraid of her mother, and afraid for Jared so she reluctantly got into the car and the drove off....
Jared watched helplessly....
He broke down and cried, for a long time, not even caring if anyone saw him in his state of undress on Julia's front porch..
He cried so much his eyes were red and puffy when he was done, He missed he so much.
There may be a small surprise for Jared tomorrow but then it's back to Kate and Riley.
I need a nap....will really try to post as much feedback as I can in a little while.
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
Wrapping up Jared and Julia...
2 1/2 Years after Julia disappeared with her mother:
The day after they reconnected at the beach...
Julia called Jared and told him she had a surprise for him and to please be open minded. He got the address to her new house in town and rushed over...
He walked in and noticed a bunch of baby items around the house. Julia must be running a daycare he thought to himself.
A big hug and a bigger kiss....
Then Julia asked if Jared would like to see the surprise....He said he already saw that she was running a home daycare and thought it was a great idea!
"Um, I think you have the wrong idea Jared...I want you to meet your sons...." Julia prayed he would be happy with his children and not reject both them and her. Jared didn't even notice the two little boys playing on the floor when he walked in he was too eager to see Julia. She introduced him to Michael and Joseph...his twin sons who were conceived on their wedding night.
Michael:
Joseph:
Jared went right over to Michael and scooped him up,
"Joseph is my dad’s name" he said.
"Yes and Michael is your middle name” said Julia.
"I love them!!" Jared smiled.
He went over and picked up Joseph...
"I wish you could have told me about your pregnancy" sighed Jared.
"I wish I could have too but my mother moved up to somewhere called Bridgeport and magically locked me in the house, it was a spell even I couldn't figure out".
"The spell was broken when my mother got hit by a bus, I didn't want to be happy that she died but I admit I was, she was a hateful very evil woman".
The two decided right away that Jared would move in with Julia and the kids. Connor might be surprised that his ex girlfriend was now married and had two sons with his brother but Jared said he would just have to get over it if it peeved him, he dumped Julia and Jared was smart and lucky enough to grab her.
They spent the rest of the afternoon catching up and playing with their boys.
Jared took it upon himself to teach Joseph how to walk.
Then cuddle time..
Julia taught Michael how to walk..
Joseph playing with his blocks..
Jared playing with the peg box with Joseph..
A few minutes to do a bit of reading while Julia finished up teaching Michael how to walk.
Supper time!
Joseph looked at his "food"...
and decided "No Way!!"
Jared cleaned up the mess right away, he loved even the yucky parts of being a dad.
Joseph got a bath...
Michael played in the playpen..
Jared loved his kids!
Joseph's favorite hiding spot.
Julia had changed into her nightie, Jared noticed and rushed to get the kids to bed.
10 seconds later......he had missed his wife terribly!
Not sure what that thought bubble is but she keeps getting it!
Michael has recently discovered how to escape from his crib in the middle of the night and wander around getting into everything.
He even went in to visit mom and dad!
********************************************************
I had to change the time frame from 4 years to 2 1/2 because 3 year olds already know how to walk and talk. 4 years would also clash with when Jared was involved with Erika, which happened before he met Julia. Riley was not on vacation with his dad when they went to IP because he decided to stay home with Kate....lets say they were taking a summer class together, at the school.
My mouth is feeling better, took some of the heavy duty painkillers today because tylenol just wasn't doing it. I graduated to mashed potatoes and yogurt, I feel like a 6 month old!
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
A very small one today....Elizabeth and Edward get married:
Everyone was in a romantic mood today...
Riley and Kate:
Billy loves his teddy bear...
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
Yup this one shocked me!! I was innocently taking a day off Sharon and Shea and decided to redo Thornton and Morgana's house...but when I saw adorable Thornton something told me to get on my old laptop and just do it! So I did.....
Unfortunately Thornton and Erika's fiance status was now obliterated (I started a new town since my old one with everyone from my Kate story was acting up). She rejected him twice even though their relationship was topped out, I couldn't figure it out until I checked her traits, I had given her unstable and insane so she would reject Jared's proposal way back when! I quick switch back to her normal traits and she accepted.
I seriously forgot how much I adore them! A quick dress change and a private wedding followed...with a few friends around .
Some bad behavior followed, Kate and Colby started flirting, which peeved Uncle Jared who predicted Kate would be like her mother (Colby started it!!)
Riley quickly shut out his brother...
Up to the Wedding venue to celebrate with family and friends....
Vlad played Disc Jockey all night!
Elizabeth and Edward, Erika and Thornton and Jared and his wife Julia enjoyed dancing all night..
Jared and Julia...
Elizabeth asked Luke to dance...
I was hoping for Billy and Luke to rekindle their relationship but forgot I had them as brothers in the family I used.
Friendly hugs only...this time.
A kiss, finally!!
***********************************************************************
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
Decided to monkey wrench my Kate save a bit...it is behaving on my HP again, since I "divorced" Elizabeth and Edward because Erika and
Thornton are technically step brother and step sister if their parents are married...Thornton being Edward's Son and Erika being Elizabeth's Daughter. We are pretending they were not sent to China...yet.
I moved them into their nice big home again and let them do their own thing while I moved a few things around.
**Their Time machine started making funny noises and Erika went out to see what was what.
Suddenly a strange man popped out, he was cussing in an English accent...
"Bloody He*l*l!" he yelled...
He reached for Erika and gasped "Eliza, Oh thank God I found you!" he tried to kiss Erika...she was completely confused and pushed this British per*v*er*t away.
"What do you think you're doing you jerk!" she yelled..
"Eliza, why are you dressed like that and WHAT did you do to your hair??" the man whispered sadly.
"Listen buddy my name is not Eliza and WHO in the world are you?"
"And what is wrong with my hair??"
"Eliza you know me, it's Killian, we were going to be married, I had just asked your father for your hand when a bright purple light flashed and you changed into some very un-lady like clothes and cut your beautiful hair off...why Eliza, you were a beauty before...why!!"
**************************************************************************************************************
**************************FLASHBACK to a few minutes before the purple flash**********************************
"Eliza darling your father has consented to my marrying you, will you be mine?"
"My darling Killian of course I will be yours!"
"You have made me very happy my sweet love.."
**********************************************************
That very second a purple light flashed and Killian was thrown out of the time machine into his current predicament.
Erika ran up the stairs to find Thornton, she was very upset with what had just happened and was in tears by the time she found him.
She threw herself into his arms and sobbed...she was mumbling about the crazy guy in the backyard and something about Eliza and pre*ve*rt...
Thornton was understandably distressed, what crazy guy, who was Eliza, was she a per*ve*rt?? After Erika calmed down she told Thornton the whole story, she gave him a big hug just as Killian walked in the bedroom.
Thornton started yelling at Killian, screaming about scaring his Erika...his wife...Killian insisted her name was Eliza and she was his fiance!
Screaming and fighting ensued...
Killian wanted to prove to Thornton that this woman was his Eliza, just dressed funny with an ugly haircut...he decided trying to give her a big hug would jar her memory.
All it did was get him slapped!
and jumped!!
and kicked out of the house and told to never ever return! Killian was extremely stressed out by all this, he needed to think, and couldn't lose sight of Eliza so he would stick close by the house, but first he needed to find a pub.
Killian was obviously on Erika's mind....
To be continued....
Edited to label which part this is...
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
Killian's "Past life":
Eliza's mother was having problems with her daughter, the girl had no interest in her fiance Sir Tristan. He was a wonderful match for the daughter of a blacksmith and his wife. Tristan had a modest castle with expansive grounds, why Eliza had no interest in him Emma could not even guess, he was a handsome man to boot. Emma went to seek the advise of the village sorceress Juliana, it was rumored Juliana was an evil sorceress but Emma had little choice but to seek her council as she was the only sorceress within the nearest villages.
Emma asked Juliana to look into the future of her daughter and see what would be. Juliana looked into her crystal and told Emma exactly what she did not want to hear...that Eliza was in love with a man in black and not a law abiding man, a pirate.
Emma kept this information to herself, she would not bother her husband Edmund with such bad tidings. Emma messaged Sir Tristan to let him know Eliza would be in the park later that day for a social visit. Emma usually did not mettle in her daughter's life but she had to keep Eliza from meeting any men in black.
Eliza was in the park, she knew Sir Tristan would be there and her mother demanded she give him a chance. Eliza had met him several times before but never felt anything more than friendship for the man, she could not deny he was very handsome but he was nothing special to her. She did decide to humor her mother and give him another chance.
They chatted lightly for over an hour but Eliza just could not force herself to feel anything for the man.
Sir Tristan had a meeting with his father to attend to so he had to leave Eliza, he did love her but felt she did not feel the same about him. He didn't want to force himself on the girl but her mother was insistent that Eliza marry Tristan.
The next day Eliza had wandered down to the water, it was her favorite spot to sit and think. Today there was a majestic sight to be seen, a pirate ship had docked in the shallows, she watched in awe...(yes, that is @CravenLestat 's The Dutchess )
Eliza walked down closer to the beach to get a better look, she noticed a pirate, a real live pirate on the deck of the ship. She had read many books of the adventures of pirates in her youth, they were among her favorite stories.
Eliza was wandering around the village later that day, her head full of images of the pirate she had seen on the ship, she couldn't see him close but she suspected she would like to talk to him, a few seconds later she got her wish as she almost bumped into him, her mind was elsewhere and she was not paying attention to where she was walking. Eliza knew instantly he was the pirate she saw on the ship. They slid into easy conversation, he was very charming as all pirates were.
Within hours he was romancing her and she was smitten with him.
Eliza's father Edmund was walking home from work and caught sight of what was going on between his daughter and this man who was not Sir Tristan, a stop needed to be put to this.
Edmund told this strange man that Eliza was promised to Sir Tristan and to be off...
"But father, I do not love Sir Tristan"
"Love has nothing to do with this Eliza, Sir Tristan is a very good match and will be good for the whole family, you must think of your family...
This man is nothing but a pirate from the looks of him, no good will come of your conversing with him." Now you are to come home with me and never see this man again.
Eliza went with her father but knew in her heart she would be seeing her pirate again.
The next day....
Eliza went to the spot she had planned to meet Killian the next day, they had already set up a secret meeting for the next day before her father showed up. Unfortunately Tristan was already there by some cosmic coincidence, he tried to talk to Eliza, she did not want to hear his pleas to her.
He tried another way of reasoning...which backfired completely...
"Tristian, I know you are a good man but I do not love you, I love Killian and want to be with him, he has my heart.."
"Fine Eliza, but this is not over...I will have you in the end, mark my words."
With that he walked away to find Eliza's mother...
A few minutes later Killian came running to her, eager to profess his love for Eliza.
Tristan had found Emma and told her that Eliza had rejected him again. Emma wanted to know where Eliza was he told her down by the water. Emma ran down to the water, and found Eliza and a the man her husband had told her about, he was dressed all in black and sure looked like a bad seed to Emma. The sorceress was correct!! This had to end...Emma had a very bad feeling about this man.
Emma started in on Killian telling him her daughter was promised to a good man and he had better leave right now.
Eliza broke in an yelled at her mother (for the first time in her life) that she loved Killian and she would NOT marry Tristan!
Emma calmed a little and said one word to her daughter...."Fine" it was the scariest word Eliza had ever heard out her mother's mouth, the way she said it was chilling.
After she left Killian comforted Eliza, he uttered the words she had wanted to hear from him..."I love you Eliza"
**************************************************
Right before the purple flash.......
Killian had just stated that he had asked he father for her hand in marriage *a little pirates lie as he had never asked*
When he caught her out of the corner of his eye...saw a flash...
and was thrust in front a strange door which he walked into willingly as if his brain was not his own....
Eliza stood there spellbound, where had Killian gone, he just vanished! there was no one else around....where had he gone???? She stood there for hours wondering...wishing he would come back.
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
"Did it work, is he gone forever?" Emma asked Juliana anxiously..
"Yes, it worked, now we have to put the spell on your daughter.."
"Will it hurt her, I don't want her in pain Juliana"
"I'm not some sort of amateur Emma, I know what I'm doing!" snarled Juliana
.........Back to the present........
Thornton decided he couldn't just throw the stranger out in the street but everyone was too keep a close eye on him and Killian had been warned he would be knocked out if he tried anymore funny business with Erika. Kate found Killian fascinating for some reason, he talked like he was from a far away place and reminded her of a character in a book she had read once, the character was a pirate. She had cornered him 3 times and begged him to tell her stories for the past two days he had been staying with them.
Erika was still leery of Killian but was warming up to him despite his still calling her Eliza on occasion, and constantly harping that she should grow her hair longer.
Killian had told Kate all about what happened before the purple flash, what he remembered anyways, he was talking to Eliza, just about to kiss her when he felt a force pulling him towards a strange box that he got into against his will. He said there was some snapping noises then a purple flash and he was in this strange land. Kate told her mom the strange story and asked if she thought the Time Machine that had been sitting in the yard since they bought the house had anything to do with it. Erika had not told Kate that she had found Killian by the Time Machine but it was all starting to make sense. Erika decided to tell Killian she was going to try to find a way to get him back home.
Killian was only half listening his hand went up to Erika's cheek and he murmured "You look so much like her..." while stroking her cheek.
"Killian you can't do that anymore, I am not Eliza, you know this..." Killian was stressed beyond belief, he was hanging by a thread and feared he would never see his Eliza ever again.
He went to bed thinking of his love...her beautiful face was etched in his mind..
He dreamed of her constantly..
........................The Past....................................
Juliana was busy putting the Love Charm on Eliza...
Now to make sure it worked...
Yup, it worked!
But Juliana picked up on some residual Killian thoughts floating around Eliza's head and growing stronger, she needed to double wammy Eliza, her love for that stinky pirate much be very true to have residue like that Juliana thought...
She put an even more potent Love Spell on Eliza...
The pirate was gone!
Tristan looked to Juliana and she nodded slightly, it was time...
Eliza was very happy, the man of her dreams had just asked her to be his.
Eliza excused herself, she was very tired and thought it best to get to bed.
Juliana called Tristan over...
"Wonderful my pet, you did exactly as I told you" she purred...
"Why does my head feel funny"...he said to no one in particular..he was feeling a bit dizzy.
Tristan my sweet, you did so well you deserve a reward....and she grabbed him.
Meanwhile upstairs sleeping peacefully in her bed....Eliza was having sweet dreams of her Tristan.
**This part of the story is not going to change how Kate was originally going to end, it actually is just a fun little diversion, it may impact a few characters in Kate's story but not in any major way.
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
Eliza has been happily settling in to Tristan's estate (in a separate wing from him as they are not married yet), she has been getting to know the servants and is closest to the handsome Brien..
Brien works in the kitchen..
Though nobody will claim he is is wiz in the kitchen since he tried to start the house on fire today preparing Autumn SALAD!! *That's talent*
Eliza was the only one who even tried to put the fire out.
Later that night Brien thanked Eliza for saving his job, she had gone to Tristan after the fire and begged him to not kick Brien out of the house.
Brien stood there a few seconds too long, he seemed lost in his thoughts..
Eliza was feeling very brave, she leaned over to Brien and whispered in his ear "I would like to kiss you.."
He obliged......
in the midst of kissing Brien heard Eliza whisper "Killian"...
"Who in the world is Killian??" Brien shouted...
"I have no idea!" Eliza yelled back honestly as she really had no idea who Killian was or why she had said his name while kissing the handsome cook.
"Forget it Milady, that should have never happened anyways..."
Later in her bed a strange man in black haunted her dreams.......
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
Part 2:
We left off with Eliza jumping into the Time Machine:
A that very same moment in a far into the future time...Kate dragged Killian out to the Time Machine, she had been playing with the baby chickens close by and heard the strange machine start to make noises. It had been 2 months that Killian had been "trapped" (as he always said) here and in that time Erika, Kate and Killian figured out the time machine could be activated somehow but they couldn't figure out how.
Killian stood by the machine for a few minutes but was losing hope and almost decided to go in the house when all of a sudden........
Killian was overjoyed to see his beloved Eliza!
"Killian, my mother was behind all this, she had a witch put a curse on me to forget you, it must have slowly worn off because I started dreaming about you, but I didn't know who you were. All of a sudden I remembered who your were when I saw a pirate flag in the sitting room at Tristan's house."
"Tristan the man you were supposed to marry?" Killian asked.
"Yes, my mother also had the witch put a love spell on me so I would fall in love with him, but it's gone now, he's no longer any part of my life, he was not a very kind man." "I think I needed to remember you"
"Was he mean to you, if he was mean to you I swear......." Killian was getting mad..
"No Killian, we just had a big fight because I remembered you and he wouldn't tell me where you were, you had just vanished before my eyes that day, I had no idea what happened to you..." Eliza said quietly.
"None of this matters we're together now!" Killian said.
Kate was very curious about the lady who popped out of the Time Machine, judging by the way Killian was acting she assumed this was Eliza, Kate could see why Killian kept calling her mother Eliza, she really did look like her.
Kate and Eliza talked for quite a while, Kate quizzed Eliza about when she was from and what life was like back then, Kate like Eliza immensely.
Kate told Eliza about her mother Erika and how they looked like they could be sisters...
Eliza decided she would like to meet this Erika, and gave Kate a huge hug, she was a delightful child.
Erika was not home then but Killian knew she would be home in the morning so he took Eliza to meet Erika the next morning. The were both stunned at how sister like they looked, and had a nice chat, Erika was charmed by how polite Eliza was. Eliza wondered to herself exactly what a "butt head" was when Erika said Tristan sounded like one after Eliza had told her the story of how she wound up here.
Soon Killian said it was time they would be leaving, it was decided the night before that they would return to their own time but move far away from Dragon Valley...they said their goodbyes.
They leaped into the Time Machine together....
And wound up back in Dragon Valley next to an abandonded cabin where they could stay as Killian knew it was miles away from the other Time Machine down in the town. He wondered aloud just how many Time Machines were in this town!!
First things first....
Then the most important thing next..
*******************************************************
A few days later Kate was helping her grandmother Elizabeth unpack. Newlyweds Elizabeth and Edward had purchased a nice new house for themselves and had been moving in all weekend. Kate was checking out all the rooms and worked her way to one of the bedrooms on the third floor her grandmother was behind her explaining what needed to be moved up to the room when she heard Kate gasp loudly...
"Gram, what are you doing with these paintings of Killian and Eliza??"
Elizabeth was not surprised she had hung the paintings where she knew Kate would see them...
"Would you like to know some more about the strange visitor you had living with you for 2 months?"
"Oh yes!" Kate said excitedly, she loved Killian he was an excellent story teller and was her real life pirate, his accent was cool too!
"Well dear, he is your great great great great great....(add a few more probably, I didn't do the math) grandfather."
"No way! Really!!!" Kate was thrilled to hear she was related to Killian.
"What about Eliza? Did they get married?"
"Yes, they certainly did, you are named after their daughter Katherine" one of their three children.
"Gram, tell me all about them...."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Killian and Eliza sold the jewelry that Tristan had given Eliza and bought a replacement for The Dutchess which a bunch of rival pirates had taken over in Killian's absence. Their new boat was almost a carbon copy but was much nicer inside with all their riches, they had traveled the world with their three children, Katherine, Kyle and Erin.
Life was very good for Eliza and her pirate...
~And They Lived Happily Ever After~
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
In the home stretch, time will move fast now..
Erika and Thornton have been busy since the wedding...
Maybe a bit too busy....Wonder if Luke, Sophia and Billy know their neighbors are not only using their Practice Dummy but also barfing in your backyard!
Hopefully Thornton would take the news as gracefully as he did when Erika was pregnant with Kate 16 years ago.
He seems happy enough...
Happily pregnant.
Hey Kate you're going to be big sister!
Towards the end of her pregnancy I dared have her watch the kids channel, I figured it was late enough to not make a difference. She and Thornton watched it all night, seriously neither moved!
Thornton crashed in the morning...
Erika went into labor while Kate and Riley were making out on the couch...they didn't seemed disturbed by the moans and groans at all!
Welcome Hannah (@mikezumi...from The Arrival... )
She went outside plopped Hannah on the nice frost covered ground, (it was 34 degrees out, I checked!!), then had baby number 2...Kerri (Matthew named her).
She brought Kerri in the house so I had Thornton rescue his daughter from a frigid death...
He even gave her a bottle in his undies in in the freezing cold, what a great dad!
Last baby pictures....like I said fast tracking..After the kids age up to toddler it is 14 months in the future, Kate and Riley are both now 17 years old.
Hannah aged up, Werewolf!!
Kerri aged up, Also Werewolf!! Werewolf genes (Thornton) must trump witch...(Erika)..
Riley and Kate having fun with the babies!
Teaching them how to walk...
Erika decided Killian was right and grew out her hair in the past 14 months...
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
Kate and Riley....
Kate and Riley...
Kate???????????????
Yes....it was Kate! The pregnancy was an oopsie but they decided to keep the baby.
She has a cute little ungreen baby named William.
Riley looks a little shell shocked, what did he think she had under her shirt for nine months??
He is a great dad though, it runs in the family his dad is awesome with the tots.
Speak of the devil.....
Riley and Kate took William over to meet his grandpa...but Jared snagged William first!
Connor and his son had a nice chat about fatherhood...
Connor finally pried his grandson away from Jared..
Seriously Colby just let her go!! She now has a baby with your brother.
HE gives HER flowers and everyone gets mad at Kate!!
His father and Uncle Jared once again reminding Colby that Kate is off limits...
****************************************************
...............Meanwhile back home..........
Luke stopped by to talk to Erika, things always go overboard with them...as Luke was Juiced to the gills, Erika had had a few too...
Juiced make out....(love how it bothers a 2 year old)!
Kerri started crying, I wonder how Luke survived through his two kids..!
A Juiced woohoo was to follow...but seriously Luke is the bed right next to Erika's husband the best place??
Erika got sidetracked thank goodness! no woohoo for her...
she and Luke met outside though..
I'm thinking she Wanted to get caught!!
Erika started muttering about feeling neglected since the babies were born, how Thornton would rather be at work than with her and the kids! He hardly spent any time with Kate throughout her pregnancy, he hadn't even seen his grandson...
Thornton thought about it for 2 seconds and agreed, he had been pretty preoccupied at work lately and was tired when he got home and hardly spent any time with Erika. He knew Luke would very happily spend tons of time with Erika and did NOT want that to happen...Time for some changes!
Spending more time with the wife...
Riley being an awesome dad...
Thornton chatting with Riley, he had some very happy news for Riley, Kate and William...
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
Store Install
Unlocked Stencils
random legacy
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
A short Kate one, Thornton and Erika were NOT cooperating today...I contemplated deleting them both and making Kate an orphan!
Things started out fine, Thornton was doing some rock climbing on the wall..
He was obviously thinking about Erika, so I though a few smooches were in order...
They once again went through the no romantic actions, none were available at all except take romantic picture together. Erika is a Hopeless Romantic and that had vanished off her choices. I check to see if somehow they had become step siblings again but nope they both showed as married...I tried resetting them...nope. They both must have been miffed that I made Erika cheat on Thornton...geeze it was only 1 juiced makeout, it doesn't even count!! I decided to delete them and put in their stand ins from my library, luckily I had saved them last night. They had no romantic issues at all...
THIS was the surprise for Kate, Riley and Will...a brand new house bought for them by Edward and Thornton. Yes, Kate and Riley are both still teens (but it is very easy to have teens live alone modless). I'm planning on aging them up tomorrow, Will will get aged up too. I wanted Kate and Riley to thank Thornton and Edward but Riley went to school and Kate slept ALL day..she wouldn't answer the door even though I had Thornton keep ringing the dang doorbell!
You can see her snoozing away...
I wonder if the house is haunted...
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
Change of plans...
Colby was a lonely brooding chap who had been semi secretly (lets be honest everyone knew!) in love with his half brother's girlfriend since he met her a few years ago. After Kate had Riley's baby a year ago Colby had become even more broody and depressed, he needed a diversion to get his mind off Kate. Connor decided to take Colby into the future for a bit of a vacation, who knows maybe Colby would meet the woman, man or whatever of his dreams!
Connor decided he wanted to get a plumbot because the house they were in now was huge and since everyone worked or went to school it could get pretty nasty as they were all too tired to clean, Colby tagged along on the shopping trip. Not sure what that woman is looking for in a plumbot but this one didn't seem to suit her needs...
Connor decided on the model behind him then tweaked it beyond recognition to make the pink/purple one he is talking to, her name is Rosey.
Colby getting to know their new housemate..
Time for a tune up...
Guess he did something wrong...something Very wrong!!
She must be playing a lullaby...a very effective one!
Having a bit of fun before heading home..
They got home just in time for Colby to age up...
*Co*ck*y*!!
Now is where the story takes a turn and some of this will not be taking place, Jared was being used as my stand in for Colby as this Jared doesn't matter, he is an extra. I just wanted to see if what I wanted to do is possible, BTW....it's not, so Colby's happy ending is still up in the air. I'm only posting these because it was a fun little diversion and I love Jared so...
Jared: "Seriously....you want me to do WHAT with this thing?"
Jared: shaking his head making a sour face...pouting.."Seriously???"
Jared obviously isn't overjoyed and it appears very bored with my little experiment...
Time to get over all that Jared, warp speed relationship time!
Not so terrible huh Jared..
Jared was getting a bunch of Rosie related wishes, watch the stars was one and since was almost morning they went out before there were no stars to watch....
True Love! The chickens are even questioning Rosie and Jared's relationship.
She is sharing her true feelings (I think that is what the action is called):
Another huge warp speed...normally I would have Jared propose but the action never showed up for him.
And a quickie wedding!
Now to see if it works.....
No woohoo action, expected that, but Get Frisky is there..yeah! BUT it only lasts for the 2 days that they are newlyweds.
I best try it out....just to make sure.
They got interrupted the first try...Stoopid CONNOR!!!!
Connor OUT....!
Rosie: "Your brother is a real pain in the butt!"
Then the notice that everyone had to go to Colby's graduation showed up...They snuck in a quick "Get Frisky" before they left to the graduation.
Well that worked!
Awwww!! They actually do make a cute couple...though Jared could be with Bigfoot and I'd probably be cheering for him.
****************************************************************************
These are from before I decided to use Jared as my guinea pig...I didn't want Colby any moodier than he is normally if things went south, which they do...only two days of woohoo does not make for a fulfilling marriage.
Don't barf Jared she's going to be your wife in about 1/2 hour!
Colby turned out really nice (thank you Mark @thuggishsplicer !!), I see more of Connor in him than Agnes...
Now I will finish up on feedback, I have a package of Oreos as a reward when I do finish!
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
First a makeover, Agnes..
Before:
This is what she normally looks like and it is what she looked like when she and Connor were married almost 20 years ago, back before the birth of Colby.
This is her look today 3 years after she dumped Colby with his dad and checked herself into a "spa" to get her head on strait since she has had a hard time with life since her husband's death and her divorce from Connor. She finally feels like a happy person again.
Colby's Graduation:
Colby is technically a few years older than Kate and Riley, when I got him from Mark @thuggishsplicer he was a YA so I aged him down to teen to fit in with the story when he moved in with his dad (Connor) and met his half brother Riley. Colby is Agnes Crumplebottom and Connors child from a very short lived marriage of less than a year.
Heading to the Town Hall for the ceremony, something must have set Kate off as she is in werewolf mode:
Colby still thinking about Kate...
Colby was voted "Most likely to be married" *I'm working on it!!*
Seriously Colby..give it up, she's not available, or maybe he just loves the gift she gave him.
Had to get everyone being lovey dovey...
Colby with his mom and dad...Connor had not seen her for three years, Colby called her and invited her to his graduation.
Colby had a party to go to with the rest of his graduating class so he said goodbye to his parents and ran off to have some fun (or spend the night brooding...looking out a window sighing heavily).
Connor got brave and asked Agnes if she would like to get a bite to eat..it would be nice to catch up with his ex. They only got divorced because Agnes was still not over her first husband's death, she would spend hours sitting by his gravestone in her front yard. She did love Connor, she met him shortly after Erik's death and he was wonderful in helping her deal with the shock of Erik's death, but she never quite got over him fully, she always felt his presence around her house.
They had a wonderful supper at the Bistro and caught up with how Agnes's life was going, Connor was glad to hear she felt wonderful and had even started calling her sister Cornelia on a regular basis to catch up and talk for hours. Connor was surprised to find out Colby had been calling his mom on the sly for months too, he never mentioned talking to her to Connor.
They talked for hours...
It felt like old times...
Connor knew Agnes's favorite spot was the beach so he asked if she would like to go for a walk on the beach, she accepted....things progressed.
Connor noticed Agnes was wearing a wedding band, it looked like the one he gave her when they got married all those years ago, Connor asked her why she was still wearing it.
Agnes admitted she hoped she and Connor could get back together, she knew she messed up the marriage with her obsession with her first husband but he was gone as she was finally over him. She and Connor would definitely have to discuss this....
**************************************************************************************
A few "maybe I should get rid of my extras" and other oops! pictures....and silliness.
Killian's ship is still hanging around!
Too many extras!! Two Killians, Erika, Elizabeth, Kate, and Penny.
Brien can stick around town as long as he wants!! This is the third Eliza I saw!
Eliza again, number 2 I think, interesting choice of athletic wear...
Edmund, Emma, Julianna, and Tristan, they look so out of place in SV..
Some hot tub smooching...Jared and Rosie:
Colby judging me for stalking him in the tub... I was not...really, I wasn't!!
Maybe I will ditch the squares....
Ugh! Vlad that is so beneath you.....
Freedom!!!
First time I ever saw Erik in any of my saves!!
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
I decided to send Connor, Thornton and Colby into the future for a fun weekend after Colby's graduation. I also wanted to have Thornton and Connor meet their descendants. Meet the descendants they did and immediately started flirting with them! So I had a couple days of Sims behaving poorly, flirting with great granddaughters throwing wishes to skinny dip with said great granddaughters etc...I'm all for poorly behaved Sims but that was a tad much. I then seeded the town with two girls for Colby, who's only poor behavior was trying to flirt with a plumbot he had made friends with (at my hand...the friendship not the flirting, she had the "capacity to Love chip..oops!)...That plumbot idea for Colby would have worked out great... .
This is Kyle Gold (Game picked first name I loved it, even though I have a male cousin named Kyle), she WAS a descendant of Thornton's until I binned her and totally tweaked her...because he kept doing bad things to her. This was taken after I tweaked her and she was no longer a descendant of Thornton's, he still did a few semi romantic moves to her after they became friends, mostly holding hands, but I didn't need it progressing..
NO! Thornton, she is not for you...and if you think for a few seconds you might remember you are Married! .
He really did like her and her sister who I deleted, I threw in a Kate clone, aged her up to YA and tweaked her a little but not much. Figured he wouldn't go after his own daughter but of course the relationship was broken and boy did he go after her!
This is the sister I deleted...
This is Kassie, (red dress) Kate's clone tweaked a bit, slimmed down mostly. She was plopped in the Wolff descendants household specifically for Colby, because he loves SV Kate so much...
No attraction whatsoever, no wishes to pillow fight with her or anything, which surprised me but it turned out to be a good thing as I thought about it and decided having Colby with someone who looked like Kate and could very well be her granddaughter was too weird.
Colby and Kyle's introduction went much better and she is not related to the Wolff's at this point, just living with them. She is already thinking about dragging Colby to bed!
That's right Thornton, you just got the faithful moodlet with your Wife, you wouldn't want to ruin that now would you?
Colby wished to go on a date with Kyle, they decided to go dancing at The Erutuf.
Did a bit of dancing:
A bit of Hugging:
Then went beck to the Wolff house and decided a soak in the hot tub would be a good idea...looks like Colby thinks she has cute feet..
Some cuddling...
He finally looks happy!
Meanwhile Back in SV:
Riley look a bit miffed about the prospect of William aging up:
He's a cute bugger!
Riley is next! Finally a YA...
Kate was next, Finally a YA couple...
They wasted no time! Impressive pillow flying...

Outtakes:
Pre age up.......
Kate and William:
Riley and William:
Was trying to find Kate, found her behind the school...what was going on I'll never know!! She was doing homework, everyone else was lined up...
Birdie close up:
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
I was going to put the up tomorrow but just remembered a few things I have to get done and won't have time for play just feedback.
Connor was also busy ITF, playing with his sprite, I think his name is Ed...feeding him:
Ed loved his yummy nanite lunch..
Leisure time:
Kyle discussing Colby with one of her ex relatives, Kassie and her brother must have spotted a ghost somewhere..
He must have badmouthed Colby:
Colby and Kyle met for a second date soon after..
A gentleman always shows up with flowers..
Asking Kyle to be his girlfriend, yes they are moving pretty quick but if they didn't this story would be a 100 parter!!
First kiss...
and another...
The next night they decided to go out to eat for Colby's last night in the future...
I love this picture of them!
They left early the next morning....
Back home...
Just in time for the twins to age up!
One more toss in the air before they get to heavy for that...
Hannah was first..
I forgot to get actual aging up shots of Karrie..
I love the look Thornton is giving them!
Chatting with dad..
***********************************************************************
Outtakes:
@lanlyn , I never got a woohoo option with the sauna, is yours modded?
They tried for hours..and hours and hours, cuddling making out...etc...nothing.
Cleo bows down to no one except the great genie bear...
I think the bear freaks Cleo out..
He should be more scared of Kerrie...look at that face!! She is practicing hunting.
Watch out kitty cat!!!
Just look at that face!!
Will practicing hunting... @mycami21 , they are so cute practicing hunting, and nope the girls couldn't practice fighting as toddlers or children.
Will being a general menace!
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
This is the important thing...
Kyle went back from the future with Colby...
BUT this Kyle didn't know this Colby because I couldn't add her to the family in the future so I threw a copy with Colby after he got back (shattering all illusions...sorry), they were only acquaintances when I pressed kiss and expected yelling, but got a great result! Shockingly!!
Literally the next move....
I zipped them up to best friend, had Colby ask to go steady then of course threw them over to the time machine for some woohoo in the past!
They look so happy....and of course one has to go and misbehave! I had nothing at all to do with this, I was watching Cold Mountain and not paying attention to what these little buggers were up to.
Kyle found my duplicate Jared, I KNEW I should have gotten rid of him!! she complimented his athleticism...he flirted back...
Then she does THIS...which I swear I had nothing to do with because I was busy watching my duplicate teen Riley get abducted! Guess his mom wanted to see her boy!!
Riley getting home from his abduction! Jared getting peeved at Kyle (good boy Jared!):
I zipped her up to friends with everyone in the house, bad idea, she climbed into bed with Connor. If she is dreaming of running away form Colby it won't work!
********************************************************************************
Not her colors (she's a warm girl not cool) but since Lisa reminded me of this mystery store pattern I decided to throw it on a temporary formal outfit for Kyle, I may check if the colors can be tweaked tomorrow.
This is Kenji Black, he is a gift to me from me...I spent literally 2 1/2 hours making him and trying on all sorts of outfits on him and recoloring the heck out of them, I LOVE him!! Kenji was the first random name to show up and I thought it fit him. He's also got some pr*ick-ish traits which I adore. He's a "starer" ...occasionally I get a Sim when I'm creating him or her who loves staring...boring into my eyeballs while I'm picking out clothes for them, he was an extreme case! I only have one other Sim who was as bad as him, it's a bit creepy.
And one outtake, Teen Colby learning how to drive from YA Colby!!
