A Swapping Save Story - Jeb & Ulrike

Welcome!

@permanentrose (Rose) and I decided to try something new: swapping a save with each other so that we can 'play together'. We basically started like this: I made a new save and ‘designed’ a Sim. Afterwards I sent the save to Rose so she could design a Sim too.

In the end, we just gave two premade Sims a make-over, lol.

Depending on who has the most recent save, Rose and I will regularly post photos in this thread. We’ll be telling the story of two childhood best friends as we’re swapping our save to each other.

Say hello to our (premade) Sims (that got a little make-over)!

    Getting into the Swing of University Life

    QUWIEdn.png

    Update:
    I started out by decorating Ulrike's side of the room, so here are some photos of the entire room. Ulrike really likes posters :D

    Then I sent them to Larry's Lagoon to have a bit of fun before term starts.

    Ulrike crafted a robot.

    Isn't he so cute??? His name is Mr. Snuffles.

    And Jeb played ping pong against Lilith Pleasant, and he lost :(

    It was a nice afternoon, so I sent them swimming.

    Then back to the commons, where Ulrike "added some spice" to the food. Gotta get her mischief skills up if she's gonna successfully major in villainy :D

    Jeb was dancing with this little bot.

    Then they finished some homework, since I don't want @Skeilah to have to do all the hard work ;)

    @Kellogg_J_Kellogg Thank you!!

    Just like the old days
    XCMstwD.png
    It's pretty late in the evening. There's no soul on the campus anymore... Or well, almost. Ulrike and Jeb are still finishing their homework.

    wreRDi0.png
    (Ulrike) "Jeb, do you know the answer on the last question? I can't seem to get it and I really want to go home..."

    sx2xzU1.png
    (Ulrike) "Jeb? Why are you suddenly sitting all the way there?"
    (Jeb) "75,49, and I have no clue."
    (Ulrike) "Come back here, you."

    o2gpv6e.png
    (Jeb) "I'm back, and done with my homework."
    (Ulrike) "Me too!!"
    (Jeb) "Soooo, why did I went all the way here if you're done?"

    TpiJvLN.png
    (Ulrike) "Just because. And you got something on your shirt."
    (Jeb) "Where?"

    UBUysiy.png
    (Ulrike) "Oh Jeb, you're way too easy."

    VKjIn8Y.png
    (Jeb) "Oh, you are so going to regret this. Give me a minute."

    One minute later...

    rLtb4RI.png
    Yup, that's a water balloon fight in the common room, in the middle of the night XD

    jCXS2Z5.png
    (Ulrike) "Stooooopp!!"
    (Jeb) "Never!!"

    rB48Gde.png
    (Ulrike) "You're so gonna get this back!"

    mzPMW5l.png
    (Jeb) "Agh!!"

    frXWehH.png
    (Ulrike) "Hahahahhaah!"

    Some more hours later, the two of them finally dried up and cleaned the entire common room.

    9njUIU8.png
    (Ulrike) "Jeb, follow me!"
    (Jeb) "What now?"

    The two friends went outside... To lay down on the ground and stargaze.

    FiYo4eT.png
    (Ulrike) "Isn't this beautiful...?"
    (Jeb) "Hmmhmm..."

    zwWKWxF.png
    (Ulrike) "It's just like the old days, isn't it?"

    zxUEpM4.png
    (Jeb) "... Yeah..."

    Lo8pvzg.png
    (Jeb) "It is."

    EyL16YU.png
    (Ulrike): We are so gonna crush this semester! Classes haven't even started yet and we're so far ahead!
    (Jeb): I'm getting a headache though. I think I need a break.

    vXsnwIy.png
    (Ulrike, thinking to herself): He's lucky I love him so much, or else I'd kick his butt for always using my computer without asking.

    W34WeN7.png
    (Ulrike): One of my course books suggests finding a partner in crime to successfully manage all my mischief. What do you say? Wanna be my partner in crime?
    (Jeb): You know I'd be a terrible choice. I'm too much of a goody two shoes for that...besides, I don't wanna get into any trouble. I don't want to risk losing my scholarships, since I wouldn't be able to afford school without them.

    Q9ODmPu.png
    (Ulrike): Fair enough. But let me know if you change my mind. I don't know if I trust anyone else enough (*chuckles*)

    They went for a walk after that...
    R3aMu3o.png
    (Ulrike): My Aunt Isolde attended school here, and she told me that it's tradition to offer something valuable for academic success. She gave me these weird crystals before I moved here, so we could both try it out.

    XTalMNW.png
    (Jeb, doubtfully): Okay...

    WBkMJjO.png
    (Jeb): What should we do now?
    (Ulrike): More homework, I guess. It will be nice not to have to cram to get it done later.
    (Jeb): You know, for a villainy student, you're really putting in a lot of good, honest effort.
    (Ulrike): Aunt Isolde always says that the best criminal masterminds are the ones who are organized and hardworking.

    nOIJMBv.png
    (Ulrike): Wanna take a selfie? I want to hang one up on my wall.
    (Jeb): Where are you even gonna find space? I swear you covered every inch...

    EkvM7Gt.png
    (She managed :smile:)

    A6dsDk1.png
    (Ulrike): Oh, so you do have your own computer. And here I thought I was being generous not complaining when you use mine all the time...
    (Jeb): Yours is just a lot faster. I'm looking up things we can do around here. Aha, there's a pub close by.

    6LsrBHQ.png
    (Ulrike): I am so gonna beat you...

    klsFeot.png
    (Jeb): I wouldn't be too sure about that.

    tu32BUh.png
    (Ulrike): Dang, you really are good at this...

    Back at the dorms later that evening...

    AZ5wX3q.png
    (Ulrike): Let's change into our PJs and watch a movie. I'll make some popcorn.
    (Jeb): Let me guess, we're gonna be watching Moonlight Massacre again....
    (Ulrike): Aw, you know me so well.

    1X7u79F.png
    (Ulrike): Let's see how many pieces we can catch in our mouthes, just like when we were kids.

    j7Z819h.png
    (Jeb): Ugh, I hate this part...

    zySDV2E.png
    (Ulrike): I've made you watch this a million times. I can't believe it still makes you jump every time.
    (Jeb): We're watching a comedy next time.

    Zjkmim1.png
    (Jeb): It's nice our dorm mates keep making all this food. These cookies look good...

    DCnWCjA.png
    (Ulrike): Is it just me, or do you suddenly feel extra flirty?

    Who knows where that would have gone, but suddenly, a pair of strangely dressed people showed up...

    BkkjhhW.png
    (Unknown visitors, speaking mysteriously): Come with us...

    So Ulrike followed one, and Jeb followed the other.

    4W1LP8l.png
    (Jeb): What is this all about?

    OzeEGq3.png
    (Jeb): Okayyy.....I guess my answer is yes???

    JyCFyTf.png

    9ebdxQZ.png
    (Ulrike): Dude, what the heck just happened???
    (Jeb): You know, I really have no clue....

    We’re no couple

    bPQRNCd.png
    After freshening themselves up and putting their new robes in the closet, Jeb and Ulrike squished themselves onto Jebs one-person bed. On moments like this, Jeb is just a big teddybear baby.

    23w26Jy.png
    (Jeb) "So, we're now members of some kind of secret society?"
    (Ulrike) "Looks like it, yes."
    (Jeb) "What do we need to do to stay members?"
    (Ulrike) "Dunno. We'll see, right?"
    (Jeb) "Hmm.. Right..."

    KuaIC8W.png
    (Ulrike) "We should probably go to sleep. Look at the time... 2am."
    (Jeb) "Oh, right! We probably should, haha!"

    GN5Dp2l.png
    Ulrike couldn't resist pushing Jeb onto the bed as he wanted to stand up together with her. They had a good laugh with it and then went to sleep. Jeb was gone into Dreamland in seconds, just as always.

    BDHFSuh.png
    Ulrike started thinking about the past again. She still remembers the times where Jeb would fall asleep after they had done something that took him a lot of energy. He's always been like that. He's still like that. If she sat there for one more minute, Jeb would've just fallen asleep.

    Jeb feels like a brother to her, but something's been bothering her. She and Jeb have been the topic of the day.

    "They look so cute together!"
    "Oh, if only I had a relationship like that..."
    "How long are they together, you think?"


    Everyone on campus thinks that they're a couple. Every. Single. Person. But they're not. Jeb doesn't even notice it. He's just that simple.

    FBr4M2I.png
    Ulrike stared in Jeb's direction one more time before closing her own eyes.

    (Ulrike, in herself) "No worries Jeb. I'll always be there for you, whatever they think of us."

    ---

    The next morning...

    PDxqeRg.png
    Jeb and Ulrike went to the Foxbury Commons for breakfast.

    IkfVX2M.png
    Some random guy came in the picture to say hi.

    (Ulrike) "Jeb, aren't your classes starting soon?"
    (Jeb) "Right. Thanks for reminding me!"

    AfsNecD.png
    Jeb finished his breakfast and then disappeared.

    (Guy) "You're not going to class together?"
    (Ulrike) "Why should we?"
    (Guy) "I mean, you two are a couple, right?"

    (Ulrike) "We're not. Is that everything you have to say?"

    If stares could kill, that guy would be dead right now.

    (Ulrike) "Ugh..."

    6kUJiVK.png
    Ulrike spent some time on one of the computers in the common room, since her classes started later.

    860GxTy.png
    In the afternoon, after classes, Jeb and Ulrike went to Geekcon together.

    C9uvolZ.png
    They (of course) bought a t-shirt. Hehehe.

    AakkvN6.png
    (Jeb) "Ahhh, what a fun day! I'm exhausted."

    And just like that, Jeb went to lay on Ulrike's lap. Ulrike immediately scanned the hallway for gossiping Sims. There were none. Good. As some kind of reflex, Ulrike started petting his hair.

    (Ulrike) "You should go to bed if you're that tired."
    (Jeb) "Yeah yeah. Just one moment."

    vvO10Z7.png
    (Ulrike) "I mean it, Jeb. Go to bed if you're tired!"
    (Jeb) "Hey! No no no, don't tickle me! Helllppp!!"

    Sharing Secrets

    o733w0T.png
    That night, Ulrike and Jeb decided to work more on their project boards.
    9Q628RJ.png
    8aQKyFI.png
    Jeb struggled a bit :D

    When they had finished, they gave each other some feedback.

    2f3c4I9.png
    (Jeb):" I think yours looks great!"
    (Ulrike, who has the perfectionist trait): "Are you sure it looks okay? I just can't help to think if I move things around a bit more before gluing it all down..."

    WLTj2SY.png
    (Jeb): "No, really, I think it's perfect!" (adding in his mind, perhaps not even fully conscious of the words): Just like you...

    WVs8cAd.png
    (Jeb): "Okay, my turn!"
    (Ulrike): "Well, I think if you move this here, and perhaps if you rephrase that...and if you switch these two images - there! It's perfect now."

    ZU6MqFG.png
    (Jeb): "I am so gonna crush all my classes with you around to check my work for me."

    6X1GYVu.png
    (Ulrike): "Jeb, we should really get some sleep. Remember we talked about getting up early tomorrow so we could visit the alter for the Order of Enchantment?"
    (Jeb, distracted): "Yeah, yeah...I'll go to bed soon. Just one more level..."

    The next morning...

    9iswgFL.png
    (Ulrike): "I think this is the right spot."
    (Jeb): "This place is weird..."

    zuTlLQj.png
    (Ulrike): "Okay, so in the instructions they left us, they told us we had to make another crystal offering to the sprites...luckily I was able to dig some up around the dorms."
    (Jeb, to himself): What the heck is even happening?

    The headed to class after that. Jeb finished first and got super excited when he spotted Larry the Lobster.

    JS2G5ni.png
    (Jeb): "Omg, I can't believe I'm finally meeting you!"
    (Larry was totally rolling his eyes inside that mask :D)

    zGJq7yc.jpg
    (Jeb): "I totally need to get a selfie with you."

    9zsNwOk.jpg
    (Ulrike): "Hey, just finished my class! What's going on?"
    (Jeb): "Meet my new friend, the one and only Larry!"
    (Larry): "Actually, I'm just one of many students who wears the mascot costume..."

    O8gDZBF.png
    (Ulrike): "I got this new stink spray in my last class, and I'm dying to try it out. You guys wanna be my guinea pigs?"
    (Jeb, who would do almost anything for Ulrike): "Sure!"
    (Larry, to himself): Not really, but she's so pretty, I'll just play along...

    gftQ6K5.jpg
    (Ulrike): "Man, that is some foul stuff!"
    (Larry and Jeb were choking and coughing too much to comment.)
    (Ulrike): "Anyway, I have to go to my next class. I'll catch you later, Jeb!"

    HCbQu4O.jpg
    (Jeb, noticing the smell clinging to Larry's costume): "Sorry about that dude. She's a villainy student, you know how they are." (*laughs affectionately*)
    (Larry): "Eh, no worries, bro. She's really cute actually. Do you know if she's single?"
    (Jeb, suddenly reluctant to answer): "Yeah...but I don't think shellfish are her type..."

    After class, Ulrike got a call from Jacques Villareal to gather for the Knights of the Hedge club. (That was a surprise, since @Skeilah forgot to mention she had Ulrike join :D). Jeb came along to hang out at the Von Haunt Estate while her club gathered.

    QlcPBle.jpg
    (Jeb): "You always find the weirdest clubs to join."
    (Ulrike): "Dude, you love how weird I am. Admit it."

    (Jeb autonomously told her a deep secret, so I decided just to go with it)
    nEN3TP6.png

    XzQRj9U.png
    (Jeb): "So actually, there's something I've been meaning to tell you...and suddenly it seems so much easier when I can't see your face."
    (Ulrike): "Uh, oh, Jeb, what did you do?"
    (Jeb): "Nothing! At least not yet...it's just that, well, um, I kind of have a crush on one of my professors...Now before you say anything, she's super young, like our age basically, and she's super pretty and smart. A lot like you actually..."
    (Ulrike, feeling a bit hot underneath her suit of armor and glad he can't see her face)
    (Wolfgang Munch, calling over to her): Hey Ulrike, wanna join me for a game of chess? I'm so gonna beat you this week!"
    (Ulrike): "Yeah, you wish!" (and then to Jeb): "We can talk more about this later."

    nNoIeVg.jpg
    (I honestly don't even know who is who in this picture :D)

    vLxWhpu.jpg
    While Ulrike played chess, Jeb watered some flowers on the lot, trying not to think much about his confusing feelings for his professor, Lana McKinnon. It was usually pretty easy for Jeb to block out unwanted thoughts and feelings when he wanted to and occupy his mind with other things. He'd had a lot of practice as child.

    When the meeting ended, they began to walk back to the dorms together.

    k6Qu3Kr.png
    (Ulrike): "So tell me more about this professor of yours..."

    7JAEbdG.png
    (Ulrike) "Hey Jeb! I made you some cookies for breakfast for when you wake up. I'm going to my early classes right now. I hope the cookies are good!!"

    h3PBomz.png
    (Jeb) "Heh, she really made cookies. How nice of her."

    dX55YJk.png
    (Jeb) "Whoa, this cookie is actually pretty good. I mean, I've had really bad cookies in the past."

    And then, Jeb realized that he wanted to give his final presentation today.

    (Jeb) "Sorry cookies. You're delicious, but I need to go!!"

    TbZS9Uq.png
    He takes his presentation, and is off with it. As you can see, Ulrike also took hers earlier that day.

    4hWrePF.png
    Once back home, Ulrike had this whim to paint a mural. So yeah, why not on the balcony, lol?

    eCSct8e.png
    (Jeb) "Hey there! Whatcha doin?"
    (Ulrike) "Painting! Wanna help?"

    paKAFLj.png
    (Jeb) "Sure! I exactly know what I want to do..."

    For the record: Jeb has no creative talents at all.

    LgvaAQn.png
    (Jeb) "We need A LOT of green!!"

    JsAsuxJ.png
    Both Jeb and Ulrike had another class later that day. When they got out of the building, they bumped into Jeb's teacher.

    (Lana) "So, Jeb. How's it going? Isn't it too difficult?"
    (Jeb) "No, it's perfectly doable! Or do you think I'm not doing well...?"
    (Lana) "Oh no, that's not it! You're doing great!"

    YCEtCMx.png
    Someone is certainly not liking this conversation.

    (Ulrike, in herself) "Really? THAT'S the teacher he has a crush on? Ew."

    nLN477h.png
    (Jeb) "Oh, right! This is Ulrike, my best friend and roommate."
    (Lana) "Nice to meet you, Ulrike."
    (Ulrike) "Likewise. Hey Jeb, I'm sorry, but I have to go back to the dorms. I'll see you back there, okay?"
    (Lana) "I also have to go. Have a nice evening, both of you."

    r3yjWTO.png
    And so the next moment, Jeb stood there alone.

    (Jeb) "Eh, well then. Let's be productive!"

    8MEUGVY.png
    Ulrike tried to force a smile on her face as she made her way back to the dorm.

    (Ulrike) "Well, at least he ate my cookies this morning, right?"

    LtHQjl2.png
    (Ulrike) "He... Didn't eat them...? They are spoiled now..."

    Little did she know, he did ate some of them. If only he had more time that morning...

    r6Ll60i.png
    (Ulrike) "Why am I suddenly feeling so sad...?"

    9snkfh6.png
    Some time later, Jeb came home.

    (Jeb) "Hey Ulrike! I got a surprise for you because you baked me those delicious cookies-!"

    LVNXSLo.png
    (Jeb) "Oh. Guess you were really tired today. It's okay. We'll do the surprise another day. Goodnight!"

    dGPBWzw.png
    (Jeb) "But what am I going to do with all this now...?"
    (???) "Oh, Jeb. What a coincidence. I didn't knew this was your dorm."

    6tnmrLV.png
    (Jeb) "Professor McKinnon! What are you doing here?"
    (Lana) "Oh, you can call me Lana now. I mean, we're pretty close in age and it's after school."
    (Jeb) "Really? Isn't it a little weird to speak to your teacher like that?"
    (Lana) "I'm okay with it, really. So, what's all this food?"
    (Jeb) "I prepared it for me and Ulrike to have a movie night, but she's already asleep.."
    (Lana) "Oh, what a bummer... Eh, do you mind if I join instead? I didn't have dinner yet."

    haoMq4o.png
    Lana went to sit down, so Jeb followed.

    (Jeb) "O- Of course! I made it all myself, so I hope it's a little good..."
    (Lana) "It already looks delicious. I bet you're a good cook."
    (Jeb) "Heheh... Thank you..."

    5JDMbPa.png
    Some hours later, it was time for Lana to go home.

    mRMIiJR.png
    (Lana) "Thank you for the dinner, really."
    (Jeb) "No problem at all!"
    (Lana) "Can I ask you something? As a friend, not as a teacher?"
    (Jeb) "Oh, right!"

    wg9Tbf2.png
    (Lana) "Can I perhaps have your number?"
    (Jeb) "My... Number? Eh, right, you can have my number."
    (Lana) "Thank you! If you don't mind, I'll message you when I get home safe."
    (Jeb) "You should do that indeed. Thank you."

    zi9RmGq.png
    (Lana) "Well then. Goodnight, Jeb."
    (Jeb) "Goodnight... Lana."

    6ocpQgn.png
    And then, it finally got to him.

    (Jeb) "Whoa. I have her number... And I didn't even have to do anything for that! I have to tell Ulrike tomorrow."

    Pretty creepy, Lana!

    What are the little flying colored things? Are those the sprites?

    gen3-banner.png
  • permanentrosepermanentrose Posts: 3,789 Member
    @mightysprite Yes, they are the sprites from the secret society, since I technically posted my update from yesterday out of order and did the offering to the sprites last when in the story I made it come first :)

    Just Drop It

    omQvY3Y.png
    Ulrike was still asleep when Jeb left for class the next morning. He wished he could tell her about his impromptu "date" with Lana the night before. He still couldn't believe he had gotten her number.

    70doGdo.png
    Ulrike woke up, still in a mood after meeting Lana the day before and seeing how flirty she was with Jeb. Well, at least he's not here and I can use my own computer for once. But then she felt bad for thinking it because she missed him, and it suddenly felt like forever since they had talked.

    kpgx0by.png
    Ulrike went to class then, and Jeb waited outside the building for her and got some homework done.

    She was looking a bit bummed as she exited the building.

    MEvkwau.png
    (Jeb): "Is everything okay?"
    (Ulrike, not wanting to talk about Lana): "Yeah, just one of those days. I'm sure I'll snap out of it soon..."

    pU9dz79.png
    (Jeb): "Well it makes me sad when you're sad..."

    (Lol that shared sadness moodlet was about to ruin this whole day :D)

    cBJvY0V.png
    (Jeb, thinking to himself): I'll do one of my impressions. Those always make her laugh
    (Ulrike, immediately smiling): "I won't even ask what you're trying to do right now...I gotta run to class though. I'll see you after."

    They bumped into Cameron Fletcher after class.

    7uq2agp.jpg
    (Cameron, calling to Ulrike): "Hey!"
    (Ulrike): "Do I know you...?"
    (Cameron, blushing a bit): "Oh, oops, sorry...We met when I was in the lobster mascot costume. That was a rad stink spray you had." (He didn't mention that the person who wore it after him starting spreading rumors about Cameron having a flatulence problem)
    (Ulrike): "Oh hey! Cool to officially meet you then. I'm Ulrike, and this is Jeb."
    (Jeb waved awkwardly)
    (Cameron): "Hey, so there's discounted drinks for students at Pepper's Pub this evening. Would you guys wanna come?"

    v3cVAiK.png
    Drinks were indeed discounted.

    rF0BeuV.jpg

    And that was how they all ended up at Pepper's Pub.

    And then, look who waltzed in :)

    fDf47ZX.png
    (Lana): "Jeb! Fancy seeing you here!"

    Lana insisted they all play a game of pong together.

    dEj95GB.png
    Lana of course chose Jeb for her team.

    Gd1xOUi.png
    And Ulrike got paired with Cameron.

    aBFFB9O.png
    Jeb was in a flirty mood and was definitely showing off.

    VFccWIV.png
    And, well, poor Cameron :D

    rt8BC8P.png
    (Lana): "Jebby, am I holding it right?"
    (Ulrike threw up a little in her mouth)

    FFFDJfa.png
    (Ulrike): "Don't worry, I got this."

    oZXfspn.png
    Well, maybe not :D

    Finally, it was down to the final shot...

    zbfRQIT.png
    (Lana): "You can do it, Jebby!"

    wICjoOJ.png
    Victory from Jeb and Lana!

    ztY0xiR.png
    Swept up in the moment, Lana stepped forward to kiss him.

    IS5viOx.png
    (Lana): "I'm sorry, was that too much?"

    1vdTxun.png
    (Jeb): "No, not at all, it was actually really nice..."

    GDVRzVr.png
    9EXk5Yh.png
    Ulrike was fuming by this point, so she grabbed onto Cameron suddenly, ignoring the terrified expression on his face as she swept him into a passionate kiss.

    ZUx7jqU.png
    (Cameron): "Whoaaa...."

    After Cameron and Lana left the pub, Ulrike and Jeb found themselves standing outside, the tension growing between them.

    1SLC2tp.png
    (Jeb): "What was that all about???"

    BdYcPJo.png
    (Ulrike): "What? You kissed someone too. I was just enjoying the night with Cameron. Also, what kind of stupid name is 'Jebby?' No one ever calls you that."

    WhplvzT.png
    (Jeb): "You know, I hate how competitive you are sometimes. I was really excited about this thing between me and Lana, but as always, you have to go and upstage me and make it all about you..."
    (Ulrike felt a bit guilty then, but was too prideful to admit it.)

    eZOOLHH.png
    (Ulrike): "I don't want to talk about this anymore. Let's just go home."
    (Jeb): "Fine."

    That made me smile. I wonder if Cameron felt lucky or horrified?
  • permanentrosepermanentrose Posts: 3,789 Member
    @Kellogg_J_Kellogg It will be up to @Skeilah to ultimately determine that, but I do think Cameron was pleased :)
  • MonaSolstraaleMonaSolstraale Posts: 1,372 Member
    This is a fun idea.
    It is hilarious that both Jeb and Ulrike seem to be getting very jealous :joy:

    Spa day
    gvKQWV9.png
    Before we go to the spa day, we go back to the evening before, right after Jeb and Ulrike got home from the pub in silence.

    jWVHuty.png

    lDBuwSu.png
    Neither Jeb or Ulrike went into their own dorm room. They both decided to crash with an acquaintance from the dorm. Or well... They did their homework. They didn't really got to the sleeping phase.

    PSlKipP.png
    At some point, Jeb had enough of tossing and turning in bed and decided to get some fresh air. When his eyes caught the unfinished mural painting, he sighed.

    (Jeb) "Ah.. How did it all turn out this way...? Just because I found someone I like?"

    DA29yHG.png
    (Jeb) "We need more green in this painting. Let's fix that."

    Jeb really likes green, lol.

    TR7I5dU.png
    Some time later, Ulrike seems to have the same idea to get some fresh air. She bumps into Jeb, who's still painting.

    (Ulrike) “Jeb? What are you doing?”
    (Jeb) “Oh! Eh. I... Am finishing this mural because I can’t sleep?”
    (Ulrike) “... Can I join you?”
    (Jeb) “O-of course.”

    fO8ysg7.png
    (Ulrike) “Im sorry for earlier. Of course, I am happy for you. I just... Got swept away in the moment. You mean a lot to me, Jeb. We’ve been together for so long now. Just you and me. It's harder on me than I thought."

    At that moment, Jeb starts to smirk.

    (Ulrike) “Why are you smirking like that?”
    (Jeb) “Because I’m flattered. Thank you for telling me.”

    ppLvuH6.png
    (Ulrike) "You're so weird. Maybe I should just spray-paint you instead of this mural. Red would fit you."
    (Jeb) "You better not do that."

    PtKw0EP.png
    (Ulrike) "I was joking. I would never do something like that."
    (Jeb) "But the thing is, you totally would."
    (Ulrike) "True, hahaha!"

    XGNbyQe.png
    (Jeb) "There's my best friend back. You look way better when you smile!"
    (Ulrike) "Hehe, that's not true.."

    WiMMPKg.png
    (Ulrike) “But thank you. I needed this.”
    (Jeb) “Always at your service!”

    gXaFGeo.png
    (Ulrike) "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
    (Jeb) "Oh yes!"

    0UYtWQe.png
    (Both) "Stargazing!!"

    ---

    7Va0HKN.png
    Since the next day was a Saturday, the two slept until noon and decided to have a relaxing day at the spa afterwards.

    gBQqR64.png
    (Ulrike) "So, sauna first?"
    (Jeb) "Totally!"

    7nSRE3h.png
    After taking a shower, the two walked upstairs to the sauna.

    EaYms05.png
    (Ulrike) "This is so goooood! It's been so long since we last did this together."
    (Jeb) "Totally agree!"

    9uHpKo5.png
    They were having a great time until this happened. Jeb got a call... From Lana.

    (I'm sorry for the bad quality in this picture, but the real screenshot is on my other computer :') I took this photo from my phone and sent it over to Rose because I laughed at this. Maybe it's a good thing that I still got this one as a replacement. I'll replace this picture when I get to my other computer again after the weekend, if I don't forget)

    r40qVeL.png
    (Jeb) "Oh, I'm so sorry, but I'm at the spa with Ulrike right now. I can't go on a date."

    The man that joined the sauna must be thinking: "Oh, so these two aren't a couple? I thought for sure they were."

    (Jeb) "But!! Perhaps you could come over here and join us?"

    (Ulrike, thinking in herself) "Oh no. He's not going to invite that B** over, right?"

    F6PiCeB.png
    Oh yes. He did. Ulrike's day is totally ruined again. The spa days were something Jeb and Ulrike did on their own. They never invited anyone over before, so why is this happening now? She sighed.

    Yg2K74i.png
    (Ulrike, signing Lana with her eyes) "Go away. You're not welcome here."

    1JjW20E.png
    She got the clue.

    (Lana) "I'm sorry, Jeb, but I just remembered that I have some stuff to do. Thank you for inviting me over."

    ZgyquI9.png
    She gave him a hug.

    (Ulrike, signing with her eyes again) "Go."

    aAdCcxY.png
    (Lana, thinking) "That girl is so scary... Poor Jeb."

    54KJygq.png
    (Jeb) "So sad she had to go so soon. It was fun, right Ulrike?"

    What he didn't notice was that Ulrike also made her way out of the hot spring.

    TbXKB3f.png
    (Jeb) "Ulrike? Where are you going?"

    No reaction.

    goPS3ST.png
    (Jeb) "Ulrike?!"

    Whoops, sorry guys, I got busy this week with my other challenge and then neglected these two. Hopefully this delightfully odd and entertaining update makes up for it ;)

    A Visit with Aunt Isolde
    6Nspw3N.png
    After Ulrike stormed off, she was in no mood to go back to campus. Instead, she found herself on the doorstep of her childhood home, the house where her Aunt Isolde still lived.

    vruulHm.png

    27Kh5zN.png
    (Isolde): "Ulrike, my darling, come in!"

    bQq7f2v.png
    (Isolde): "Do tell me what is on your mind. You look rather peeved."

    BRFoDq3.png
    (Ulrike, inhaling in a breath): "It's Jeb. He's just being...so stupid and aggravating."

    x3Vt4TG.png
    (Isolde): "Oh, that quaint little farm boy friend of yours? I thought you'd find a more diverse selection of friends now that you have gone off to university. Ah, well, what has he done now?"

    LwyBvLA.png
    (Ulrike): "He went and fell in love with one of his professors. And now she shows up everywhere, and it's like suddenly, Jeb doesn't even care about our friendship anymore. He's acting like a lovesick dummy. It's ridiculous."

    nbK56Mm.png
    (Isolde): "Well, I'd say your best bet to demand his attention would be to use your own feminine wiles..."

    drBpD0Z.png
    (Ulrike): "Aunt Isolde, you know it's not like that with Jeb...we're just friends."
    (Isolde): "Whatever you say, darling..."

    irS3fxw.jpg
    (Ulrike): "I should probably head back to campus. I have class early tomorrow morning."
    (Isolde): "Ah, yes, my little villainy student needs her rest. And don't fuss too much over Jeb, dear...you'll figure out what to do. It's always been clear to me that he simply adores you..."

    A peek into the past...
    So how did Ulrike come to live with her Aunt Isolde?
    Well, this idea for this complex and hopefully entertaining backstory came to me and @Skeilah when we read Ulrike's info on the sim wiki, and found inspiration for the character of Ulrike's father:
    ugGfRLZ.png

    Which led us to his wikipedia page:
    fCkAQji.png

    And then to a google image of him :D
    1GQV6M7.png

    TUOqbYE.png
    So meet our version of Johann Georg Faust, a rotund little man with an obsession with the occult.

    hhsm5mV.png
    3sr1Xhy.png
    One day, he summoned Death herself.

    dYKPJOh.png
    Johann nervously greeted Death.

    luACHbK.png
    After chatting for sometime, Johann agreed to sell his soul in exchange for all the pleasures in the world.

    N2oYmxv.png
    (Johann): "Sheesh, Bonehilda, can't you see we're busy here??"

    Byx7i9A.jpg
    Death found herself rather taken with this strange little man. It had been so long since someone had willingly sold their soul. It just wasn't the same as in the olden days, when she could count on several hapless fools to devote their lives to her.

    ZbaOwUO.png
    The whole situation left her feeling, well, rather romantic, after years of loneliness.

    rqAKQkn.png
    Well, one thing led to another...

    SsO3f8V.png
    (Death): "I'll come check on you in a few decades or so."

    N73QMyd.png
    0dZG8sI.png
    Then she was gone.

    N2EStbs.png
    But not without leaving him a gift first.

    Johann and his poodle, Prästigiar, set off together to enjoy all the pleasures of the world.

    uFV9rjC.png
    And what a life it was...(lol he's so short that the pose doesn't even work properly :D:D)

    AVnmZXl.png
    Until Death appeared, quite sooner than Johann had expected, and apparently expecting herself...
    (Death): "You must take this child, it will have no place in my world."
    (Johann): "Uh...no thanks, can't you see I'm a little busy here?"
    (Death): "If you don't take this child, then our deal if off, and I shall collect your soul immediately."
    (Johann): "Fine..."

    tispOSZ.jpg
    But a child had no place in Johann's world either, so he deposited the infant with his sister.

    UPUmwBw.png
    (Prästigiar, if he could speak): "Don't you think you're being a bit heartless??"

    rcO1xvO.png
    gF4TPKg.jpg
    Isolde was not happy with these circumstances at first, but she grew to love the child and think of her as her own, which is how Ulrike came to live with her Aunt Isolde.

    Where is her father now? Well, no one has heard from him in years, but I'm sure he'll turn up eventually :)
