That was among the most beautiful ambrosia eatings I've ever read. I really want to copy you now.

Can I totally steal Azo-chan? I think that is really cute!

If Azo-chan doesn't mind, go right ahead^^
Heh, I totally believe that is true in some way

Dark Wave channel is super awesome, but I've recently started listening to Indie more just out of hope that "Little Talks" will come on! Sadly, I haven't yet heard any more songs by Of Men and Monsters (always thinking "Of Mice and Men") because at the moment I'm obsessed with Imagine Dragons. I am planning to look them up on Youtube tomorrow, hit "All Videos for Of Men and Monsters," and listen for a couple hours!

And no, it isn't Pauline, although I am a huge fan of hers! She and Emma Hatch are perhaps my two top SV townies . . . and excellent use of the "chan."  ;)

Imagine Dragons aren't bad, but they're not my favourite. King and Lionheart is a new song from OMaM (Lol) The video for it isn't bad, but it's sad in the end.
Pauline's probably an elder or close by now anyways.
A) Yay, another Jap fan~ <3
B)*bows* Thank you, thank you very much^^

Since Anna gave you rights to the Azo-chan, I can't very well disagree! Besides, I quite like it  :D

Chapter 17 - Foreboding

  Hey y'all, Nick's back again! Mom probably neglected to mention that I went to Prom while she was busy cleaning the basement! I didn't win Prom King, sadly, but only because some kid insulted my friend Marisol, and I got suspended for tackling him. Mom and Dad took advantage of the suspension to buy me some ice cream to show how proud they were.



  Oh, and I got to redecorate the living room! In my opinion, there is NEVER enough yellow! Kaylynn helped me out with all the little details, like the floor and stuff, but I picked out everything else and even got Mom to put a Levitating Charm on the TV! It's hard to see in this picture, but the TV is actually not attached to the wall.



  Here's another picture of the seating area, showcasing all the cool modern furniture I chose from the Bridgeport catalogue. I really wanted to drive to Bridgeport to bring the furniture home myself (and party!) but Kaylynn put her foot down on this one. Party pooper . . .



  There's also a cool little bar area and dance floor with a sweet new jukebox! Alex is posing here as the casual dude lounging around in his sweats.



  Aaaaaand the new dining area. I got rid of the table completely and put in a bar instead! Mom made me fence off the stove and counters--I have chosen to respect her slightly-senile mood swings and had a fence built. She then locked the gate and refused to give the key to anyone. Oh, Mom . . .



  Dad cornered me that night. He had just picked me from Prom, and had spent the car ride home in a thoughtful silence. "Nicholas? You know that you mean the world to your mother and me, right?"

  "Well, yeah, Dad . . . "

  "Good. Just--be careful, son. I won't always be here to get you out of trouble." He went to bed on that happy note, leaving me to think.

  Why hadn't he said "Your mom and I won't always be here to get you out of trouble"? Both of us, whatever our difference in age, are united in several regards = We have the same hair. We're male sims. And we can't stand to even think about Mom . . . "going off to the big sunflower field in the sky," as she puts it. She's the center of our lives, the person who's always keeping the world from falling apart and is at home with a cup of hot cocoa when I get back from school. How could she ever leave us?



  In a feeble attempt to lighten the mood, Arlo Bunch turned into a fairy. Now he has the chance to produce offspring for a long, long time . . . yay . . .



  Urgh, I can't even distract myself. I'm starting to get worried about Mom. She's suddenly started acting like her life is over, and it's time for me to take over! I mean, the living room make-over, the fact that we put up yellow lights instead of blue this year . . . she even replaced the lilacs over the hot tub with yellow flowers!



  Lately, she's practically quit life to pursue her magical abilities. She spends all her time upgrading all the electronics in the house . . . yes, I'm really worried about her!



  At least she still spares a bit of time for Dad. By the Watcher . . . Dad . . . he's a few weeks older than Mom, and we all know that he's going to leave us earlier. Still, sims have lived to be over 100 before, and he's barely 90. Why even think about it?



  They spend their nights going on little dates to the movies, to the bistro, to the Grind--the paparazzi have a tough time keeping up!



  Sometimes Alexander goes with them, just to get out of the house. That's how he met Holly.



  They all came home that night all aflutter. As usual, my parents disappeared into their bedroom.



  Alex and Holly spent the remainder of the night making out in the living room . . . with very loud sound effects, in case you were wondering!



  On the upside, I got to throw the Elysi Annual Winter House Party (EAWHP)! I decided to invite all the young people in town--including quite a few pretty young women. Left to right--Donna McIrish, Rosalie Noyes, Marisol McIrish.



  There's also the not-quite-as-pretty Salvador Bachelor, who I think quite resembles his dad.



  Mom . . . sigh . . . spent the majority of the party upgrading the stereo. At least the speakers had awesome sound!



  Dad did persuade her to take a break for a short dance.



  I was a bit too busy getting down with the lovely Anne Ursine (note from the Watcher: No, it is NOT Anne Ursine! I'm actually surprised no one guessed unborn Ursine baby . . .) to notice any of this, however.



  I didn't see Alex at all during the party, but Kaylynn told me afterwards that he had gone to the Love Shack with Holly. I have a few feelings about this, including a) We have a love shack? and b) Why didn't I know about the love shack?


 
  Author's Note: Thanks for all the comments and views! I think we're currently sitting at a little over 2,000 views, which is a very big achievement (for me). The current game is going fantastically, besides the fact that there is a glitch affecting getting Nick and his bride married (throttles computer) but I'm sure I'll get it figured out. Must . . . have . . . pretty . . . wedding . . .

Well, I do have a brother, even if he is only 10 . . . so, one could say that I get my material from the source.

Lol, I'll take that as a compliment that I know the minds of my sims very well!

Claire's daughter did turn out very well this time round. I can promise you though that Nick's intended bride is very lovely as well ;)

Isn't she? I think I've just figured out who Alex's next target will be . . .

Indeed, she is!

And (a hint to those still trying to figure it out) she and Nick have the same favorite color! Make of that what you will . . .

Chapter 18 - Death and Life

  I was sculpting when I heard the sudden gasp. Unplugging my headphones and laying down the chisel, I turned just in time to see Auntie Zelda shaking hands with Grim. She seemed content enough to go, with that same smile on her lips that she had worn her entire life.



  Dad and Agnes arrived on the scene in time to mourn-although none of us could say what exactly we were mourning. No one had been particularly close to Zelda, and she had expressed a desire to move on and rest for a long time.



  Both elders used the Moodlet Manager to rid themselves of their guilt, while Kaylynn, Alex, and I abstained. Mom didn't even need the MM, being too busy upgrading the entire house. I was shocked at her callousness--she didn't even mourn Zelda!



  In this time of death, new life was just what we needed. We were happy to see that Spotted has, apparently, been fooling around with the Alto's cat and came home with a kitten named Silver! She's the little ears . . . over there . . .

 

  However, we were completely unprepared for the passing of Aunt Agnes only a day later.




  Like Zelda, Agnes was content to leave and could be heard inquiring about the number of public bathrooms in the afterlife.



  Naturally, I was alarmed to see the Reaper watching Dad after Agnes had departed. Dad himself laughed it off, but . . .



  Alexander swore that he didn't care that the "useless old lady" had died, and put on an indifferent face. Still, I knew that he was just mourning in secret, in silence.



  I had previously planned to throw an epic birthday party, but with both Agnes and Zelda leaving, no one was really in the mood. Thus, I aged up in front of my sculpting station, with only the still-mourning Kaylynn there to celebrate.



  I looked quite attractive in a large number of hairstyles, so it was understandably difficult to pick just one! In the end, however, I had to go with the faux-hawk! It's a classic! I think my eyes have evolved to be more gray-blue than Mom's blue, so maybe Dad did rub off there.
 


  I was very tempted to choose something more outlandish for my wardrobe . . .



  But the robe would have hampered my chainsaw a little, so I opted for pants instead. I know what you all are thinking . . . yes, I am single. Just trying to let my chest hair breathe, wink wink.



  I also got this cool new yellow room! It "crashed" several times, so the current room may look slightly different from this one.



  But--that was it! I thought that, after my birthday, I would go do something--move to Bridgeport, or fall in love, or just move in with some of my younger friends--but none of that happened. Instead, Mom begged me to put my life on hold while she did--something. I reluctantly agreed, but did register as a sculptor up at City Hall.



  She just spends hours outside, upgrading all the old stereos . . . over, and over, and over. Why? I don't know.


 
  She refused to relent, even when Dad died and begged for a little more time to say goodbye to his wife. He resisted Death, and was practically thrown into his urn for his efforts.



  Rest in peace . . .

  Zelda Mae, master gardener and not a master sculptor--that certificate is supposed to be on Kaylynn's wall.



  Agnes Crumplebottom, so close to being a Renaissance Sim.



  Thornton Elysi--father and husband, CEO, and a truly Family-Oriented man.



*   *   *

  At last, my task was complete. I had tried, for so long . . . only to finish minutes after my love's death. I tried, Thornton, I truly did. I wanted you to see your son get married, but instead I only deprived you of your final days of happiness. What have I done?

  No matter, now. I am powerful enough, and strong enough, to find Nicholas's soulmate.

  I kneel in the snow and rub off the tombstone so as to be sure it is the right one. Yes--the lightning symbol is emblazoned into the stone.



  The spell is present in my mind, and is almost laughingly easy to perform. But the results are anything but laughable.

  She is not quite as lovely as I expected, but it will have to do.



  The zombie lumbers towards me, skin tinged a bruised green. Before it takes more than a step, I cast the next spell and stop it in its tracks.



  Ah. Much better.



  "Lolita, dear, I know you've only just come back to life, so why don't you come live with me for a while, until you get on your feet? I have a very handsome son who is only a day older than you . . ."



  "Oh, he sounds very nice! I can't wait to meet him!"

  "I feel a disturbance in the force . . ."

Wow, that's a lot of deaths at once! Poor Serena, not making it in time for Thornton to see their son get married :( She shouldn't beat herself up too much, because they definitely spent a lot of time together. Congratulations to the soon-to-be happy couple! Oh, and Nick was right to keep the faux hawk, despite having such a good face that anything suits him, I think he suits that hair best.I can't wait to see him meet the new pretty girl his mama is bringing home!

And I don't think it's Pauline either - she's being used in Wiry's Braun Dynasty, and Azo-chan said she believes the mysterious lady hasn't been used in any dynasty.

I know; she just has such good genes!

Yes! She's one of my all-time favorite sims, so I was super excited when the resurrecting-ghosts was approved!

She literally mastered magic half an hour after he died, which is just sad. Believe it or not, he really reminds me of another Good Sense of Humored sculptor from the Wyn dynasty, who had the exact same hair . . . and facial structure . . . tell me if he looks anything like Jason Wyn to you.

I know; she just has such good genes!

She really does, but she is too old to reproduce at this point, and I had my eye on Lolita for a while!
