Another Hollingsworth Dynasty Story - Completed

[Nettlejuice]

Aww, so cute! I'm glad Winston is keeping the nooboo this time. Going fishing with Grim seems a blast.

[sdhoey]

boy or girl??? name??

[Shewolf13]

--is on the floor, laughing-- Oh my... those aliens just LOVE Dude, don't they?  Hm... what is it with him and Emma now?  Was that just hormones, I hope?

[Playalot]

Fishing with Grim was a blast, I love it when Grim shows up. Nooboo name etc coming up in next chapter which I'm writing now. And, yeah, these aliens do seem to like Dude, they keep phoning him too... rather disconcerting actually! lol

Chapter 23: A House, Kinda


Dude: Woah! What happened? One minute I was sitting outside...Hey! A pool! Awesome.
Yeah. I built you a house. Well, kinda a house. I ran out of money so it's about a third of a house actually.













Dude: I HAVE to try the pool out! How long before work?
About 35 minutes, so if you're quick you should still make it on time.






Dude: The pools great! And it looks good from here. Bit empty and white but a good start eh.
Cool.





Dude: Aw, how are you my wee boy? Have you been waiting for your daddy? Huh?





Dude: There ya go Blaize, what a handsome wee man you are.





Dude: Oh yummy, I think I could eat you all up.
Lol, you are so mushy Dude.






Dude: Don't you listen to the watcher, she thinks you're gorgeous too.
I do too, actually.






Dude: Dangit, I don't want to go to work. I want to stay home with Blaize.
I know... but today you should be getting your last promotion. That means you are nearly finished all your requirements for immortality!
Dude: Cool. Still rather stay home with Blaize.






See ya Zest, I'm going with Dude again today.
Zest: K, have fun. Oh.. and thanks for the study.
Yeah, sorry it's so empty, I ran out of money!
Zest: Are you kidding me... it's great not to have sand blowing all over my desk!






What are you building?
Dude: A lamp for Blaize's room.
Cool idea!






Woah! What happened?
Dude: Umm, I tried out the 'sleep' command on the simray.
Oh!
Dude: She'll wake up in a minute or two...I think.
Esteban: Hmm... for some reason I REALLY need to clean something...
Dude?
Dude: What? Just a little mind control... besides have you seen the state of the bench in the staffroom? *Shudder* Gross!





Dude: So... it's synthetic food...
Adriel: Tastes quite good.





Adriel: Actually, its really good. One swallow and I'm totally full! That's really handy.
Dude: Oh so glad it worked. Thanks for testing it.





Dude: Soooo, this serum's a bit different. After drinking it you should feel light as a feather. <Snort>





Dude: Wow... is it going to work... come on... come ON.







Dude: Wicked! Let's take a photo... angeeee!
Adriel: Wow, that's one crazy serum.
Viviene: I feel great actually. Angeeee.






Oh yuk. Obviously Esteban didn't clean down here then.
Dude: No... it's doubly gross. Once I'm promoted I'm going to spend a day cleaning and sorting this place out. It's messy AS.





Dude: Night!
Receptionist: Night Winston, see you tomorrow.





Oh! No promotion? What happened? Your performance bar is maxed out with a tick at the end!
Dude: Dunno!
Who you talking to?
Dude: Some alien.
What? hang up....Last thing we need is you abducted again. Sheesh!






Dude: Well, it sure is strange coming home into a house!





Dude: Hiya baby boy... were you good for Uncle Zest today? Or did you get up to mischief?

[Ferretmania]

Oh you've been busy and I had to scratch my reply, 'cause you posted a new chapter while I was writing.

Dude sure got his alien/grim magnet turned on eh? Cracks me up.

I love seeing Grim being social and his personality is quite funny in a dry sort of way.

So another denial pregnancy. Congrats on an alien baby boy. Welcome to little Blaize, you're such a cute nooboo.

The house looks great!

[Playalot]

Chapter 24: Promotion Or Not?



Everyone's up so early! Or is it late?
Zesty: It's early. I was starving so I thought I'd grab a bowl of chilli.
As you do... for breakfast! *Eww*






Oh opps! We've woken Blaize.






Zest: I'll feed him, Dude's gone up to take a shower.
Thanks. Have you tried out that new shower from Dude's work? It's awesome!
Zest: Yeah, I have... I think I used up all the hot water it was so good.





Ah! How's the chess going?
Dude: Oh good, just getting my mind focused for work.






Aw.. you're the sweetest little man. Such a good wee nooboo.






Oh! Don't wake him up!
Dude: Have to...can't go to work without a goodbye cuddle. Besides, he's so good he'll go back to sleep in no time.





Dude: He must take after me.. handsome, good... you know, charming. lol
<Snort> Sad thing is I probably agree with you.





Dude: Hear that Blaize? Watcher thinks you're just like your daddy...so cuuuute!
Yeah... and you're going to be late for work if you don't move it 'cutie pie' *retch*





Hmm... didn't Brycen come shooting outta that worm hole thing last time you fiddled with it?
Dude: I am NOT fiddling... I am 'calibrating".
Let me rephrase that.... didn't Brycen come shooting outta that worm hole thing last time you calibrated it?





Dude: So how are you feeling today? No side effects?
Viviene: Feel just fine thanks. It was quite fun... wouldn't like to be a ghost again... but unusually enjoyable.





Dude: Well, how about trying something a little different then?
Viviene: What will it actually do Winston?
Dude: Just make you feel like a genius apparently.





Viviene: And just exactly how it that?
Dude: Well being a genius myself... you'll probably feel handsome, smart, invincible...
Viviene: Oh <snort> Just give it to me already! lol





I thought you asked Emma to tend the garden.
Dude: Yeah, so did I. She's obviously not very good at following instructions.
Hmm.
Dude: Anyway, I'm heading down to the park... want to come?
Sure!





Dude: Well, missy tourist... want to experience science first hand?
Tourist: Oh... No...No!







Dude: Mwhahahha... Pffttt hahahha.
Oh geez... you just never get sick of that one eh.






So, what's next?
Dude: Just heading home.
Let's hope your promotion comes through tonight then.






<Gasp> Oh my plumbob! <Blink> That is sooo scarey!
Dude: Don't cha like my new work uniform?






Dude: How about if I pose like this? Better?
No... it scares the living daylights outta me... ohhh, freaky. Take it off!





Dude: Better?
Much.
Dude: Well... are you going to congratulate me for maxing my career then?
Wooo! *Squeee* Congratulations Dude. Yeah!
Dude: <grin>





Dude: Hmm, nice to see those fish up... fills an empty space.





Dude: Hiya baby.





Dude: Ooo I missed you today. I kept wondering what you were doing and...
Umm.. you do know he just lies there eh?
Dude: Yes... I'm just chatting to my son. It's important that nooboos hear language in their early stages or they might not learn to speak properly and stuff... actually.
Oh. Well, did you know that its' Blaize's birthday today?





Dude: Oh <speaking in baby voice> Daddy's not going to let you grow up...no he isn't. I'm gonna keep you wittle for ever.
Lol... I wish that too actually. Think after a few years we might be sick of changing his diapers though!
Dude: Lol... Do you hear that Blaize? Watcher doesn't want to change your diapers anymore! What a meanie!
<Giggle> Oh, it's funny seeing you like this!
Dude: Well... I suppose we better find Zest... I guess it's birthday time. Eh little man?

[Playalot]

@Ferretmania , yes. Luckily Dude certainly did attract Grim! He actually hung around for ages but I decided I had posted enough Grim-spam 

When I deleted the little bathroom building in the lot so in could start building... I forgot I had stored the potions of youth and angelfish on it's roof. The angelfish went into the inventory, so that was fine, but the game just sold all the potions of youth (I had 6 of them). I didn't realize until I had been building for over an hour and so the only thing I could do was hit the 'back arrow' until it was all undone and the potions of youth were back on the old roof. LMAO Talk about panic stations! Honestly... You think I'd check that such important items were safe before building! *sigh* 

Anyway... at least they now have a roof over their heads! 

[Nettlejuice]

I love Winston's new work outfit. I haven't played the scientist career yet, how long does that ghost(?) potion last? A male alien baby... Hmmm.. I wonder if he'll follow in his Mum's footsteps when he's older  As always, I love your builds!

[MarianT]

So glad you're keeping this one -- can't wait to see Blaize as a child. (Can you tell I'm suffering from alien nooboo envy?) Grim fishing with Winston was hilarious -- not sure I'd want him feeling my sim's baby bump though. I think the new house looks great!

[Cristina]

The house you built is amazing! I can't wait to see it finished. I love Grim's interactions with Dude, he's so funny. Blaize is absolutely adorable. I can't wait to see him as a child. I'm considering getting the Get to Work expansion cause of the aliens alone

Chapter 25: Birthday Time


Zest: Oh what a loud yell you've got when you want attention. Well... Uncle Zest will have to do 'cos your daddy's doing some gardening.






Zest: So maybe your Uncle Zest won't do hmm? Oh your little face is so cute even when you're all sad... poor little nooboo.





Dude: Hiya wee man... I can't get a thing done with you and all your little yells. I guess you just want to be a big boy now.






Dude: *Big sigh* Well, I guess I can't put it off any longer.... time to grow up.





Dude: Well, just one more cuddle.... just because I love you.





Woah!






Wow! Happy birthday Blaize!






Blaize: Hey dad! What's that over there?
Dude: Huh?






Dude: Oh come here you. Happy birthday son.





Dude: I've got you a little something.
Blaize: Oh cool! Thanks!





Zest: So happy birthday Blaize.
Blaize: Thanks Uncle Zest.
Zest: You look a lot like your dad did at your age.





Blaize: Night dad.
Dude: Night son, remember to brush your teeth.
Blaize: Hey watcher, the stairs could do with a light, they're a bit dark and creepy.
K. I'll add that to the 'To Do First' list. Night.






<Whispering> Aww Dude, he's so darn cute.
Dude: Yeah, I have a feeling that he'll be a handful as a teen. I know I was.
<Snort> You still are. Shame we've got no money left to do up his room more. Poor kid, second hand furniture and all that.
Dude: Ahh, he'll be fine. He's got more than many kids at his age. Night son, sleep tight.





The next morning...
Blaize: Hmmm, pretty good for human food!
Dude: So what to you want to do today? I've taken a holiday day so I thought we could hang out or something.
Blaize: Cool, I'd really like to just hang out here dad... hit the pool and stuff.
Dude: Nice! OK, that's what we'll do then.





Blaize: Aww, I didn't know that staying home meant doing homework.
Dude: Once it's done you've got the rest of the day to chillax.





Ty: So people are saying that your son's an alien <snort> So stupid. They're probably just jealous that you've made such a success of your career.
Dude: Good heaven's. Why would people go around gossiping like that? That's ridiculous!
Ty: I know, right. It was only a few... the Caliente sisters mostly.
Dude: Oh well... umm, they might be a bit angry at Zesty, he ... er, dated both of them, um a few years back and they sort of found out.
Ty: Well, they shouldn't play with fire then, if they don't want to get burnt.
Dude: Right. *Shrug*






Dude: So have you read any of Zest's books? You can have this one if you want.
Ty: I'm not much of a reader actually, but I appreciate the thought. You want to channel surf?
Dude: Oh! Sure, that'll be fun.





A little later...
Rogelio: So it's quite unusual that your dad's got alien friends.
Blaize: Oh! Umm... it's because of his work, he has to spend some time most days contacting aliens as one of his daily tasks.
Rogelio: Certainly makes for an interesting friend. I never know who I am going to meet when I'm with your dad. He's a good man, son. You're a lucky boy having a dad like that.





Stefan: Oh yibsims!
Dude: Indeed yibsims for sure.





Dude: I'm off to search for the truth, it must be out there somewhere.
So... Stefan, perhaps you could dial down all these abductions eh?
Stefan: Doesn't really work like that watcher.
Why's that?
Stefan: Well some sims are just, quite frankly, more attractive to us than others.
<Gasp> You're supposed to be his best friend... how can you say that?
Stefan: I'm just trying to explain it to you... I have no way of controlling or directing who catches the pollinators attention... It's not my line of work.
Oh.






Stefan: Besides, being Dude's friend has nothing to do with us being different races. I happen to really like the guy. He's fun to hang with and pretty darn smart.
Agree. Well, it's good you're friends eh. Must be a bit lonely living here by yourself.
Stefan: It is at times. But there are more of us than you know... you know.






Blaize: So how come you don't wear a skin suit yet no one knows you're an alien?
Stefan: It's to do with mind control. You'll get much better at it with practise. Start trying it out on people you know and trust like your Uncle Zest.
Blaize: K, then. I'm glad I can talk to you.
Stefan: Me too Blaize. Glad to be able to help.






Oh! Well, that's that then isn't it. *Depressed sigh*

[Tigerskin]

A third time? 

Dude must be catnip to Pollinator No.3....

(My male sim is currently on his 2nd pregnancy Dude -1st one almost immediately as he aged up to young adult , he feels your pain).

[Playalot]

Chapter 26: Third Time Lucky


Darn it all... they even have the cheek to beam me down a special certificate congratulating me on having a sim abducted three times. Far out!





Dude's been abducted again.
Zest: I guessed as much when I heard that strange sort of sound... poor Dude.
Yeah he's going to be mad at me this time for sure.






Zest: Why's that?
I was so busy with Blaize and how cute he is and all that... that I forgot to turn on the satellite.
Zest: You're going to be lucky to be alive in the morning.
Yeah, I know.





Oh this doesn't look good. OMG... are you... have they killed you?? DUDE?






Dude: No but I'm going to kill you. You forgot to turn the satellite on didn't you?
I'm so sorry.... I meant to but I forgot with Blaize being here and the day was so busy.... Oh..I'm SO sorry.






Dude: I don't want to talk to you.






Dude: Go away.






He's back.
Zest: I'd probably make myself virtually invisible if I were you.
Good advice.






<Cautiously> Good morning.
Dude: Morning!
How are you?
Dude: Just great! Feel fine and.... I found the last space print I needed for my museum pieces.
That's so good. Well, apart from not being an elder. You have now unofficially completed all your immortal requirements. Go you!





Have a great first day at school Blaize.
Blaize: Thanks!






Zest: So celebratory fitness day?
Dude: You bet... elderhood just around the corner so let's enjoy being young and strong!
Zest: Deal!





Zest: Hi Grim, didn't know you belonged to this gym.
Grim: Yeah, one of it's founding members actually.
Zest: Cool. Um hi Dina...er Nina...
Caliente Sister: OMG... you can't even remember my name. I'm not staying here and working out with you.
Suits us... You're lucky this is a dynasty and I can't roast you lady. Hop it!






Zest: Wow... you were pretty ferocious watcher.
Yeah, well she shouldn't have started rumours about Blaize. Tell you what... I meant what I said, if this wasn't a dynasty, she'd be toast.
Zest: I'm glad you like me.
<Snort>







Grim: Hey you're looking really good Dude.
Dude: Oh, thanks! What a nice compliment.  So how did that emergency call out go from the other day.
Grim: Quite well. Some idiot was transforming things with his simray and burnt his entire house down killing his whole family. Managed to reap all five of them in one go. Got a lot of brownie points on the leader-board for that one.
Dude: Oh cool... I think.
Kiersten: Are you going to chat all day or are you here for a workout?






Kiersten: That's more like it... keep your back straight.






Grim: Hey did you hear that the sim who wrote the song ‘The Hokey Cokey’ was buried yesterday, but they had a lot of trouble keeping his body in the casket. They’d put his left leg in…
Dude: <Groan> Oh that's sooo bad...
Alexander: That's worse than bad. It's offensive.






Grim: <Cracking yet another joke...>
Alexander: If I have to listen to one more of Grim's jokes I'm going to report him to the Standard's Commission.






Oh hey Blaize. How was your first day?
Blaize: Ok, but someone threw a paper ball thingy at the principal when he was visiting our class, and I got blamed for it.
Oh how unfair. Next time make sure you're the one throwing it. Least then you get to have some fun before the punishment.






Blaize: Nice to meet you... you wanna go play pirates?
Kid: Sure! Totally.






Blaize: You look a lot like someone I know, only I can't quite remember.
Kid: Hmm, could be Zest, he's my dad.






Trainer: <General yelling and being bossy>
Zest: Oh.. Uh. I don't know if being yelled at is actually helping me to gain fitness.





Dude: Tell me about it. Least you don't have death chewing your ear off as well.

[Wolffie]

Well it seems you made Dude a little too good looking and the aliens have taken notice. At least the Gurus have decreased the chance of getting abducted with the new patch.  Also, when did Zest have a kid, am I missing something??
