Chapter 40: Work Day


Dude: Opps, look like you've shorted out there buddy.





Dude: There you go, have you fixed in no time.






Dude: Hmm.
What are you doing?
Dude: Upgrading the Electroflux Wormhole Generator so we can travel directly to Sixam without having to take the rocket.
Cool.






Dude: Mind that welding Bob...






Dude: Good job!
Bob: <Fawning all over Dude>






Dude: Hi Emma, thought you might like to change into something more comfortable.

















Dude: Morning Kalani, nice to meet you. I see you have changed your work gear for something a little more casual <snicker>
Kalani: Oh! So I have, I don't remember doing that!






Dude: Oh, so you're insane! Well, that'll probably help you around here.
Kalani: Cool! Nice to be accepted for who I am!







Dude: Emma, I think you probably could do with a makeover, you know, a little jazzing up maybe.
Emma: Oh no... No I....






Woah! That's pretty spectacular!






Dude: Geez, I've scared myself with my own handiwork! Freaky!
Emma: <Dazed> Wha aat? !






Good idea getting out of the lab for a bit. Don't think Emma will be too happy with her new look <Snort>
Dude: Yeah. I out did myself on that one eh. lol
I'm glad you didn't marry her. She's a pain.
Dude: No argument from me there.






Oh. Hey! There are angelfish here.






Nice to be paid to stand around fishing all day eh.
Dude: Indeed, although in my defence, I have cleared my work schedule before coming out here.
True.







Aaannnd, not an angelfish.
Dude: No kidding.






I've really enjoyed hanging with you and stuff.
Dude: Are you getting the elder birthday blues again?
Yeah. <Sniff> It's just that I miss you when you get all old and stuff.
Dude: Umm, you do know that its still me that's old right? Like as in ME. I don't actually go anywhere.
Yeah... I guess.
Dude: Well, for what it's worth, I've kinda enjoyed it all this time around too. Although giving up Destinee was pretty tough the rest has been a blast.
More adventures to come too eh.
Dude: For sure watcher, for sure. Home time though... Ready?







Oh Pah leese tell me you are NOT contacting aliens again?
Dude: Na, paying the bills. I forgot to this morning with the fire and all.

[Playalot]

@Cristina , Hmm, there's something about those two that is quite endearing eh. I have no idea what they will get up to as teens! lol

[Nettlejuice]

Winston, stop picking on the ladies  The part where Blaize is doing his homework, you've called him Reagan 

[Cristina]

I'm also glad that Dude chose Reagen over Emma, she's pretty annoying. I'm getting all sad and emotional thinking about Dude turning old too. I hope he doesn't lose the spunk and fire he has 

[Playalot]

lol... thanks for the typo pick up Nettlejuice. Must have changed my mind about something I was going to type!  As for Dude aging...I get all poopy about it every time. <grumble mumble...rules...blah blah>

Chapter 41: Winston's Elder Birthday


I don't care whether you use castor sugar of soft brown... you're not going to be eating it anyway. Once you're old you don't get to eat nice stuff anymore or you'll get fat.
Dude: Hmm, castor... Oh, you in a titch again?
I don't get in titches. <humpf>






Mackenzie: Woah! How do you do that dad?
Dude: Oh, easy once you know how. lol







Here's the bit I don't get... There's your cake, baking nicely in the oven...
Dude: Umm, yeah!
Then when you grab it out the oven... it's all done.






See?
Dude: Umm, now that you mention it, it is a bit odd. <Self-conscious grin>






Blaize: So dad, when you're really old like Uncle Zest, will you stay at home and sleep all day too?
Dude: Err, no. I think I'll go to work just like usual son.






Jasmine: Maybe you'll take a nap on the couch then when you get home so you have enough strength to walk upstairs to bed eh dad?
Dude: Umm.. no. I think I'll probably manage to stagger up the stairs... just though. You two might have to carry me at times.
<Snort> Don't tell them that Dude, they'll believe you!






Jasmine: Well I wouldn't care 'cos I love you and I'd carry you up every night if you wanted.
lol. Oh now look what you've started!
Dude: Well, that's a lovely thought and you never know, I might take you up on that one day!






So you guy's will have to learn some new txting so you can understand your old man... LMDO: Laughing My Dentures Out and probably GGPBL: Got To Go Pacemaker Battery Low.






Dude: Well kiddies, go get your mum and Uncle Zest, your dad's got a birthday to do.






<Gulp> Oh plumbob, this is it isn't it.
Dude: Yep. Can't stall it any longer.
Do you wanna change into your swimming shorts for old times sake?
Dude: lol NO! Geez watcher.






<Everyone singing> Happy Birthdaaaaaay Dear Winston/Daaaaaad






Dude: OMG... sheesh.
*depressed sigh*






Dude: Thanks Zest. Just doesn't get easier eh.
Zest: Nope.
Blaize: I get first turn on dads computer
Jasmine: No I get first turn, you always think you can win 'cos you're older.





Reagan: Happy birthday darling.
Zest: Well, I'm having first turn so there. You can both get your homework done.







I'm off to drown my sorrows.
Dude: I'm off to dye my hair, way too young to go fully grey.






Later...
Dude: Oh my back....ow...OW.
*Depressed and somewhat juiced sigh* Yesh, I could have told you about that. Old age and exermasize jusht don't go well together.






Zest: So Dude, I have to tell you something....
Dude: Oh if it's about not doing a serious epic workout, I already found that out.






Zest: Umm, no it's more about the afterlife... and how Grim let's you know it's time.






Zest: I've had my second warning now.
Dude: Oh no <swallows a lump> Oh Zest, it's way too soon.
Zest: Well, I'm not thrilled but... I need you to know that it's been <swallows an even bigger lump> well... just great and I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

[Wolffie]

No Zest  Darn you Immortal Dynasty Challenge rules. Making us part ways with our sims!

Also I know this is late but I had to ask, Galafriac System? As in Gallifrey? As in Doctor Who? *full fanboy mode activated* 

[Playalot]

@Wolffie, yep..Dr Who reference. Gotta just Love Dr Who. 

[sdhoey]

@Playalot Not to go off topic but check your messages sweetie

[KTK10]

Happy Birthday Dude.. and it really does seem quick that Zest is getting the messages from Grim! Oh No! Blaize and Jasmine really crack me up 

[audbooh]

Happy birthday dude. Hope your elder days are full of eating ambrosia.

Dearest Dude,

Chapter 42: One Less


Dude: All done! Good job Blaize!
Blaize: Thanks Dad. There sure is a lot of high school homework.






You're working so hard Mackenzie, you'll be finished your aspiration in no time.






There you go! What did I tell you?
Mac: Am I all done?
Dude: You sure are! Good job hun.






Have a great first day at high school kid.
Blaize: Thanks.
You look nervous.
Blaize: Yeah, a bit. Just don't want people seeing through my disguise and stuff...
You'll be fine, besides Taylors there eh?
Blaize: True. Seeyaz.






Zest: Oh, I don't feel too well watcher.
Oh Zest: It's time. I'm going to miss you so badly.






Grim: I can't figure out what's door and what's window...
Pity you don't just give up and go home.






Grim: Ah, got it.






Dude, you need to... I think you should....Zest is....Grims here.






Oh Zest.
















OK. We're going out. I just need some me time I guess.
Reagan: Well, I think that's a good idea. You know Zest said that he wanted us to be happy and not grieve for him.
*Sigh* That's a tall order for sure.






Reagan: So let's go fishing, after all it's the one thing that Zest loved to get outside and do.
K. Sounds a plan <Sniff>






It is lovely here. Zest would have loved it.
Reagan: He would have.







Oh! I always think those fish are angelfish!
Reagan: Me too! I think we should phone the kids and tell them to meet us down here.
Totally. They need a break too.





Hey! How you doing guys?
Mac: Hm good watcher. I had a great day at school
Jasmine: Me too. I think I might do my homework  first then go play.






Mac: Hi Grim. Whatcha been up to?
Grim: Oh this and that. You want a hand with your homework?











Jasmine: Thanks for helping me.
Aren't you one of Zests kids?
Teen: Umm, yeah, Eliza'a my mum.
Hmm. So I guess you're a bit sad today too.






If you can drag your cute self away from your phone.... maybe some fishing might be fun?
Blaize: K watcher, sounds a plan.






Blaize: I still miss Uncle Zest. *sigh*
Reagan: We all will for some time hun. I guess all we can do is keep remembering him in all the small moments of our life.
...and imagine him celebrating alongside us.





Ah! You kids look like you're having fun. Thats nice.
Mac: Watch out watcher, there's a seriously scary sea monster out there. Quick, get on board!
Jasmine: I've got him in my sights.  Fire the cannons!






Jasmine: I think you're the best little sister in the world.
Mac: Aww, well I think you're the best big sis in the world.

[Joria]

I got hooked, just like all those fish.  You made me laugh.  You made me cry.  I wound up spending pretty much all day reading this entire dynasty.  Girl, you're good!

[Playalot]

@Joria, what a really lovely comment, thank you so much. I'm glad you have enjoyed the story so far. 

[Nettlejuice]

RIP Zesty  He makes really good looking kids. Had to laugh at Grim getting confused by windows and doors. How did you give Blaize his tattoo?
