Dear Friend,

Ituxi was really interested in the human body, so I decided while we waited to see if I was graduating that I would take my skeleton and show her some things.



I tried to explain to her that aliens probably worked the same way humans do, but all she did was argue with me.

"But my skin is green, yours is not." She said.

"True, but-"

"And your eyes are smaller and have color to them, mine are larger and do not have any color at all." She said.

"Yes, but-"

"And our ears are different, and we wear different clothing." She said.

"Ituxi, what I am trying to say is that we share similar traits on the inside. Your bone structure is probably the same as mine." I said showing her on the skeleton.

Turns out, I will be graduating!

I only invited mom, dad, and Savannah. I was... worried about what they would think of my alien girlfriend whom I recently learned impregnates males for a living...

...I have a hard time grasping that last part, so I would imagine they will too.




I couldn't help but dance when I was holding my diploma in hand.

I was done! No more school, no more late night studying sessions, no more homework, no more nothing!

Who wouldn't be excited?!

"Oh honey! I am so proud of my baby boy!" Mom said hugging me.

"Thanks mom." I said.



"Son! I knew you could do it!" Dad said.

"Thanks for believing in me dad." I said.

"Always." He said hugging me.



Ituxi walked over and gave me a hug, she said she didn't know what graduating meant, but congratulated me anyway.



"So, where is Savannah? I want to meet her." Ituxi said.

"Alex! Alex!"

I turned around, Savannah was running over to me.

"I knew you could do it!" She squealed as I hugged her.



"Thanks lil sis!" I said.

"Alex, who is your friend?" Mom asked.

"Well, uh, mom and dad this is Ituxi, she is my girlfriend." I said.

"She looks like an alien!" Savannah said.

"I am an alien." Ituxi said.

"Whoa." Savannah said.

It took a while for mom and dad to warm up with the idea, but they were supportive.



Mom kissed me on the cheek, "Your father and I will be in the car, keep an eye on your sister."

"Okay." I said.

I smiled as I watched my parents walk to the car, I hoped I would be as happy as they are one day.



When we got home, the girls celebrated their birthdays!

Lucy:



Savannah:



We also had a small house fire, thankfully Stefan got the fire out before the firefighters got there.



That's all I have for you, I'm sure Aunt Sarah will be back to writing next time! It was nice talking to you, and maybe I will write another letter sometime in the future!

Love always,

Alex

Close to 10,000 views!!! WOW! Thank you! ;D

What do you think? Will this relationship work? Or end with Alex's heart being broken? Hmm...

I may or may not have an update tomorrow, I have homework to do and I am also doing a uninstall and reinstall with all 9 expansion packs to see if it will clear up some of the major lag I have been experiencing! >:(

Dear Friend,

Alex here! Told you I would be writing again! Sooner than expected actually.

Being home was great! You wouldn't think you would miss being walked in on in the bathroom, but I did.

I even invited Ituxi over to see the house, she spent a lot of time with Savannah.

"Your sister is so cute!" She said.

"She is." I said.

"So, what's this big square thing?" She asked.

"The swimming pool." I said.

"What's its... Purpose?" She asked.

"To swim in. You get in the water and float around." I told her.

"Like a bath tub?" She asked.

"No, a bath tub you use to wash yourself. You have fun in the water!" I said.

"Sounds... Not fun at all, what's the point of being in water if you aren't taking showers." She said.

I laughed as I showed her up to my room.

"This is where you sleep." She said.

"Yes." I told her.

"Nice. I like the poster of that animal." She said pointing to a picture.

"It's a dragon, and I have yet to take it down." I said my cheeks turning red at the picture from my childhood.

"I think you should keep it up." She said.

The weeks passed and I asked Ituxi to move in with me, it took a while for her to get used to a million people in the house but she didn't mind after she got used to it.

"Just breathe." I told myself.

"Ituxi? Can I show you something?" I asked.

"Sure!" She said.

I led her downstairs.

"Oh wow!" She gaped.



"My... My uh- My grandpa Jeremy, he did something- something special for my grandma when they got back from university." I said motioning to the candles and picnic basket.

"It's nice," She said. "Very, uh, what's that word.. Romantic."

I smiled.

"I like your clothes." I said.

"Do you?" She asked. "Savannah and Lucy gave me a make over. I hoped you would approve."



I looked over at the remake of the candle lit picnic indoors and wondered if grandpa was this nervous.

"So, um, want to sit down?" I asked.

"Yeah, my stomach is telling me its hungry again." She said.

So we sat down and ate our food while we talked about more human things.

I just sat there like a geek smiling.

"This is a good-"

"Hot dog." I told her.

"Hot dog, this is a good hot dog." She said.



"This is beautiful." She said.

"Thank you." I said.



"Why did you do it?" She asked.

"Well, uh." I said.

"Alex?"

I took a deep breath and got down on one knee.

"What are you doing on the floor?" She asked.



"Another human... thing... is asking someone to spend the rest of their lives together." I said.

"Isn't that what we are doing? Why I moved into this rather large house?" She asked.

I laughed, "Well kind of."

"You see it's called marriage. When a man loves a women and knows she is the one, they ask her to marry them." I explained.



"And they "seal the deal" as some people call it by giving the girl-"

I pulled out the ring.

"-A ring to tell all the other men out there that she is taken." I said.



"It's beautiful!" She gasped.

"I'm glad you like it." I said.

"So, will you marry my Ituxi?" I asked.

"Yes!" She said.





I was engaged to an alien... I never thought I would ever fall in love let alone with an amazingly beautiful green alien.

I know it was face paced, but that's how grandma and grandpa did it right? I think they would have loved me recreating their proposal scene and I am glad that dad told me about it.

Until next time.

Love always,

Alex

I owe the biggest thank you to MrsFlynn who has helped me sooooo much in the past few days with all my game issues soo..

THANK YOU!

I simply love how you are portraying Ituxi's naivete when it comes to basic human matters! It is so incredibly endearing. :)

Thank you! I use Portrait Panel which allows more than the limit of sims normally allowed.

Dear Friend,

Ituxi wanted me to show her the world, so I took her to France!



"This is so beautiful!" She said.

"This is France." I said.



We started sight seeing, and silly me thought we would either take a motor scooter or run, nope.



We dro- flew in a UFO!

I flew in a UFO! A UFO! Who knew those things were real?!



"Whoa." I said grabbing my head.

"Well, I figured it was time you learn some of my alien ways." She said.

"Well next time we are walking." I said.

She laughed at me.

"What is this place anyway?" She asked.

"It's the forgotten cemetery." I said.

"Forgotten?" She asked.



"Yeah, it's a place where the people that have been forgotten get laid down to rest." I explained.

"You mean, no one loves them or visits them?" She asked.

"Yeah." I nodded.

She started to cry then, and I was shocked because I wasn't aware that aliens could cry.



Then she said something I wasn't expecting.

"Let's get married." She said.

"We are...?" I said.

"No, now. Let's get married now, in France." She said seriously.

"Are you sure? The family won't be here." I said.

"I want it to be just us." She said.

"Okay then, let's get married." I said.



So we found the prettiest park there was and held our own private ceremony.





Then, I introduced her to swimming, which she thought wasn't fun.



"You see, you just splash... Like THIS!" I said splashing her.

"AH!" She squealed.



"So it's like, this?!" She asked splashing me back.

I laughed, "Yes, just like that!"



Windsurfing was the next learning experience for her to try!

She seemed to love it!




I was glad I missed the weird thing she was doing to some girl in the bathroom, I heard it was strange.



The vacation ended too soon and we were back home, we had just spent our first night... alone as a married couple.

"I'm sorry, but what are you wearing?" I asked trying not to laugh.

"What? You don't like it?" She asked.

"It's... different." I said.

"The buttock part of the pajamas opens! And fastens with buttons! I picked it out." She said.

"And the girls let you?" I asked.

"They had too, it's my "body" after all." She said.

"Alrighty then." I said.



Well, she is ready for bed, so I will write soon!

Love always,

Sam

Let me know what you think :P

Ohhhhhhh lovely update.  I'm pretty sure the family won't mind missing the wedding to see Sam so happy. 

Hmm... Swimming in France.  I wonder if you can get to that little island now without zenoport or trudging through that tomb?

Dear Friend,

There has been two major changes in the family.

But first, Ituxi showed us some alien behavior I guess you would call it.

She abducted someone!




She claims it was just a joke.

Alex was not happy when he found out, he didn't think abduction was something to joke about.

The girl thought it was funny though.



The next couple days passed with ease, nothing out of the ordinary happened.

Then Ituxi became very ill. Alex took her to the hospital tonight to get some blood work done, they are home now but she kept making trips to the toilet.



The first big thing was, we all aged to elders!

Andrew:




Lucas:




Margaret:




Me:




It was scary, because we were in our final stages of life. Knowing mom and dad stayed alive a long time being an elder helped though, I just hoped that was the case for us. I was terrified that I was going to be the one alone and Andrew will go first. I don't want either of us to have to be alone and watch the other one to die.

I was making dinner that night, Alex was sitting on the counter top talking about random things. Ituxi walked in looking confused.

"Everything okay love?" Alex asked her.

"The... doctor? The doctor just called." She said.

"He did, did the test results come back?" He asked.

"What does pregnant mean?" She asked.

Alex's eyes bugged out of his head.

"Alex?" Ituxi asked.

He looked at me like I was suppose to say something.

"Why are you looking at me?! I'm not the one that's about to be a daddy." I laughed.

"Alex, what does pregnant mean?" Ituxi asked again.

"It means... It means you are having a... a... baby." I whispered.

"A baby? How is that possible?" She asked.

I had to choke back a laugh.

"I'll leave you two alone to discuss how babies are made." I chucked.

Like I said, two things have happened here in the Moon-Steele household.

Until next time!

Love always,

Sarah

Birthdays and babies! I wonder if the baby will be green and be an alien! I read somewhere that aliens don't exist in Sims 3??? So how did Ituxi come to be? I didn't make her, she just showed up in University on Alex's rental home porch one night! Let me know what your thoughts are! ;D
