The Hopeful Legacy - 7/31/15

The Hopeful Legacy


The Prologue:

Hey there...
I'm so excited that it's finally time to start my first legacy here at Carl and Pam's, it took me a while to decide which world to use and I finally decided to go with Lunar Lakes.  It took me a bit to get it ready since I had to update it with all the lots for some of the later EPs/SPs, but I finally got things in order.  I tried to match the existing building style that EA used for the town and I think it turned out beautiful.



I'm sure by now that most of you know the backstory to Lunar Lakes, if you don't it goes something like this... "Stranded on a foreign planet after their spaceship became disabled, the surviving Sims utilized homeworld technology and the newly discovered crystal tech to survive at the edge of space. As the generations have progressed these intrepid Sims built roads, developed agriculture, and established a thriving colony."... And this is where my legacy will pick up from.  Over the years Sims in Lunar Lakes now have the ability to travel and communicate back and forth with Sims back on Earth.  In fact there is a trade route not only between Lunar Lakes and Earth, but all the planets in-between.  There has been a shortage in resources in Lunar Lakes and the latest intergalactic shipment not only brought in food and other goods, but also new sims for careers/services that are in desperate need of help and that's where Derrick Hopeful comes into the story.



Derrick Hopeful, legacy founder, was just transferred to Lunar Lakes from Starlight Shores due to the severe need for school teachers in Lunar Lakes.  Most of the existing teachers have either retired or sadly have passed on.  Teachers were asked all around from Appaloosa Plains to Twinbrook as well as everywhere in-between and none volunteered except for Derrick.  Knowing that it would not be easy and that he would be required to start over at the bottom of his career path, Derrick looked forward to his new life and all the new adventures he would experience on the new planet in Lunar Lakes.  Things have went extremely well for Derrick and his new family, so well in fact that he's decided to share his journey with you all here.

Thanks so much, Warr2098...
I'm also glad to hear that I've gained a reader already.  And I'm not finished for the day just yet either, I'm getting ready to post Chapter One in a few minutes too.  Just have to upload the pictures. :)

Hugz,

Chapter One:




Hey there!
My name is Derrick Hopeful and this my story... Jase did a pretty good job above with getting you all caught up on exactly why
I'm here in Lunar Lakes, so I'm just to going to take it where he left off.  First off, I have to say how excited I am about living in
such a unique and strange world.  I honestly don't know what to expect.



As you can see my new home is big and empty.  The land here in Lunar Lakes is far from cheap, so it's left me with little to none
simoleons so I'll have to be modest when building a starter home.


Viola! There it is... what do you think? Small and modest, but yet still space-themed, let me take you inside for a brief tour.



Besides the bathroom, for now the living area is just one L-Shaped room, but it has everything in it I need to start a life here
in Lunar Lakes.  Here's the bedroom/living room area.



Now over here you have the dining/kitchen area of the house.



Finally, here's the itty bitty bathroom and the only real privacy in the house.  Good thing it's just me living here for now, huh?



Well, now that I've got a roof over my head I'd better check in with the school and let them know I'm here and get my work
schedule... good thing I had enough simoleons left to buy a bike, fancy huh?  I cannot get over what a strangely beautiful place
this planet is.



What kind of school is this?  I'm definitely not in Starlight Shores anymore! (LOL)



Time to brush up on my skills and knowledge for work here, better stop off at the Paper 'n Space Library downtown.



What an awesome library, so much to choose from and it looks fantastic, what a view!  I think things are going to turn out great
here in Lunar Lakes after all.



After building up some cooking, logic, and handiness skills, it's time that I get to know this town better and have a bit of fun too.
Some local sims told me that a very popular hangout in Lunar Lakes is the newly renovated Natatorium Pool, so let's check it out.



Must be a bit early, it's awfully quiet in here so let's have some fun with the video games for a bit now till more sims start showing up.



After playing about every game I could, I started to get a bit bored and on the way out I met "him" and my heart skipped a beat (or two) I think.



His name is Petre Stewart and we hit it off fantastically, there was quite a bit of chemistry between us.  We enjoyed a few games of
pool and getting to know each other a bit more, it was so natural that it honestly felt like we've known each other our entire lives
(I know it sounds so cliche of it's true!).



After a while the Natatorium started to get a bit crowded and Petre wanted to show me a local club, so off we went to the Milky
Way Lounge.  It was breath-taking as we walked up the sidewalk to the lounge, all the spotlights and lasers lights, gorgeous!



We had a couple of drinks and spent more time getting to know each other, that's when I realized what a flirt Petre was and
I enjoyed every sim minute of it too.



The two of us had so much fun together, we just danced the night away to some truely awesome intergalactic beats.



It was a perfect night, I didn't want it to ever end, and just when I thought things couldn't get any better...



...the bar closed and they told us to get out (LOL).  But Petre said that it was the night of his life and asked me out
again tommorrow night, yay!



We shared a taxi on the way home, which I'm still not sure why since I had my bike with me still, but it was nice getting
to spend more time with Petre.  I couldn't wait for tommorrow and our next date, I had some sweet dreams that night.

Thanks again, Warr2098...
I'm so glad to hear that you like it so far, if you liked Chapter One then I'm sure you'll enjoy Chapter Two much better.  A lot more happens when it comes to some really cute date moments and other stuff thanks to "Generations".  Oh and the Hopeful House is coming along quite nicely and a very "Lunar Lake-ish" style to it too, I don't want to give too much more away so you'll just have to wait for the next update, which I hope to have up later this weekend too.   ;D

Hugz,
Jase~

Lovely story, I like the house, the upgrades to Lunar Lakes, and I enjoy the couple as well. :) Looking forward to the next chapter.

Thanks so much for all the additional compliments, everyone...
I really appreciate them more than you'll know and for those of you who are fans of Derrick, I've uploaded him here in the Swap Shop (in the Sims Section of course  :) ).  I'm uploading some new screenies and plan on adding both Chapter Two and Three for you all today.

Hugz,

Chapter Two:




Wow... what a great night's sleep, but time for my first day on the job teaching the students of Lunar Lakes, so I'd better eat something
good.  Too bad I spent all that time out yesterday and didn't buy groceries, let's see how these Lunar Lunchables are... Space Meat and
Galactic Veggies? Hmmmm...



Yum... I was NOT expecting this to be good and it's not... it's great, better hurry and get dressed before the carpool arrives, don't want to
be late on my first day.  After all that studying and skill building the last thing I need is to make a bad impression with being late.



Carpool is here... Wait, I recognize this old lemon from back in Starlight Shores, I guess somethings don't change no matter what galaxy
we're in?



What a great first day at work, not only did I get to know some co-workers (including my boss), I already got a raise.  Woohoo!



Of course that raise didn't come without strings attached, had to agree to chaperone the school dance on such short notice, just enough
time to change into something more formal and grab a quick bite at the Big Bang Bistro.



The dance actually turned out to be quite fun, I've got some excellent students but I'm a beat and time for bed... wait, my phone is ringing
and it's Petre.  Meet you at the Natatorium? Sure, I'll be right over...  I really wasn't that tired after all come to think over it.  (LOL)



It was great seeing Petre again and we agreed to see that new movie coming to Curious Community Theatre later in the week, I'm not sure
what it was about again, but I now Petre was sure excited about it and kept chatting away about it.



I decided to surprise him with a little gift I picked up on the way from the dance, just as I suspected he loved them.



I told Petre he didn't owe me anything in return, but he kept insisting on a shoulder massage and I didn't decline the offer.  His sim fingers
were working true magic that night.



We both noticed the photobooth in the entry of the Natatorium and decided to take some romantic pictures together, I hope they turn
out good.  Petre wants a set too, strangely there was no copy option so we took them twice and I gave them to him as a gift, he loved
them too.  This unexpected date is turning out to be great!



We also decided to play some more pool and I tried my best striking a few poses while trying to look cool while wearing my sunglasses
at night. (LOL)



After it started getting really late, I decided to ask Petre over to my place and he accepted and drove us over in a really, really nice
sporty black car of his.  I could get use to riding around town in this thing.  We ended up chatting the night away till we both fell asleep.



The next morning, neither one of us had even changed clothes yet and had a quick breakfast, that's when I decided to spring the question.
No, not THAT question, I was so nervous but I asked Petre if he wanted to move in with me and thankfully he said yes.



And at that exact moment, the carpool arrived and I had to rush off to work.  As always, Petre understood and said he'd clean up the house
before he ran to do some errands before going to work himself.  Awww... what a sweetheart.



Petre is quite athletic and after a quick house cleaning, he decided to jog across Lunar Lakes to the new Salon and Tattoo Parlor... Not sure
how much of that was him or was Jase. (  ;D )



Petre was really impressed on the new business and skirted around the idea of getting a tattoo while there, but decided to just go to the
salon.



Live music? Wow, how swanky is that?  Originally, just planning on a new haircut, Petre gets a complete make over head to toe.
(Thanks again, Jase!)



I always thought Petre was beautiful from the moment I saw him and my heart skipped that beat, but after his makeover he was even
more beautiful than before.  Plus, his new clothes didn't hurt the new look either.   ;)



Petre showed off his new look around town while finishing some the rest of his errands, stopped off at both Galactic Groceries and
Known Space Books and picked up a few items, before stopping off at the 28.5 Hour Wellness Gym and building some more athletic
skill points for himself.



Then it was off to work at the Aldrin Stadium, he worked really hard that day too.



While Petre was a work, I decided to develop my cooking skill a bit more before cooking dinner as I know he'll be starving when he
gets out of the stadium tonight.



See?  What did I tell you?



We both enjoyed the fresh salads (even though he left our breakfast dishes on the table when cleaning), Petre did have some
great news to tell me though, he also got a promotion with a cash bonus.  So we decided that with the money he got from selling his
old stuff and both of our cash bonuses that we would renovate the house a bit.  Since there is now two of us, we're going to need a
bit more room.



That night we slept soundly together, I had wonderful dreams of what the house would look like and Petre dreamed about... Having a BABY!?!



Oh and here's a look at our photobooth pictures framed, cute huh?
