How sweet.  Beautifully written.  Raia you're going to need to do another family tree for this story soon.   ;)

It's that Nick and Vita's kid as one of the Fearsome Four?

Aah! Simon and Lexie are so sweet together.  He looks very pleased with himself in that last screenshot  :).

I was trying to identify the Fearsome Foursome and Justin's girlfriend but failed miserably.  Looking forward to finding out in future chapters.

Perhaps it's weird, but my favorite part was Justin's love for ballet! There's always something great about breaking gender expectations.

As for the Fearsome Four, the messy-haired one looks like an Alto and the blonde girl is pretty clearly Zelda's daughter, but I have no idea who the red-haired one could be. I guess he kind of looks like Hank Goddard. And Justin's girlfriend kind of looks like Holly Alto (similar nose), but I might be wrong and I have no idea who the father could be. I'm better at picking out Twinbrook townie spawn. :P

Congrats to Simon and Lexie on their engagement.

Thank you. I'm thinking much along the same lines as far as the family tree is concerned, but I'm probably going to wait juuust a little bit on it. There's one or two relationships that I want to make a bit clearer first. ;)

Aah! Simon and Lexie are so sweet together.  He looks very pleased with himself in that last screenshot  :).

He certainly does--and he has every right to be! Four years of trying to convince Alexia to even go out with him, followed by three years apart thanks to University. Getting engaged was quite the accomplishment for him. :)

Perhaps it's weird, but my favorite part was Justin's love for ballet! There's always something great about breaking gender expectations.

I'm glad you enjoyed that part. I wanted to do something different with Justin, and on a whim I was browsing the Sims 3 store and caught sight of the performing arts venue...and it just clicked from there. Plus it gives me an excuse to use some awesome dance poses that I found a while back. ;)

It's that Nick and Vita's kid as one of the Fearsome Four?

As for the Fearsome Four, the messy-haired one looks like an Alto and the blonde girl is pretty clearly Zelda's daughter, but I have no idea who the red-haired one could be.

The messy-haired one is indeed an Alto. Brent Alto, son of Nick and Vita. He has the Nurturing, Clumsy, and Easily Impressed traits, but I can't remember the last one. He and Jeremy have been friends since elementary school.

Hannah was the tiny nooboo from way back in chapter 11. She belongs to Gobias and Zelda, though she inherited absolutely nothing of her father's except for perhaps his geekiness. (She has the Eccentric and Genius traits.)

As for the other two...

Next up: Planning for a wedding can be a royal pain in the rear...sometimes quite literally. A frayed wedding dress, a bachelor party gone awry, and poorly-timed hay fever are all part of the fun, right?

I'm on vacation this next week and will be without access to my simming computer (oh noes!) but I am planning on getting plenty of writing done. It's going to be nice being away from work for a while. :)

Aww! Congrats to the new couple! They are so great for each other. I'm still working on that couple name! Simlex is at the top of my list :)

Second Chances - Chapter 18: Extra (2-14-14)
« Reply #309 on: February 14, 2014, 10:49:22 AM »
(Just a little glimpse into Simon and Alexia's date. Happy Valentine's Day, all. :) )

Chapter 18 Extra – Five Words

Perhaps it was the look in Simon's eyes when they left the Bistro. Then again, perhaps it was the nectar. Alexia couldn't exactly tell at this point...but something had to be up.

The afternoon and evening had gone by predictably enough so far. Simon had treated her to a show at the theater and dinner at the Bistro—typical Love Day fare to be sure—but Alexia wasn't picky. Just having her boyfriend back for the weekend was special enough, even if it was rather unexpected.

She still wasn't sure what to think of all of this. By all means he should be back in University Town, studying for his upcoming midterm exams. Their past two Love Days were spent apart, so why should this one be any different?

Unless...

“A penny for your thoughts?”



Alexia smiled as her boyfriend drew her into a kiss. Regardless of Simon's intentions, Alexia was more than content just being in his arms again. Though she certainly wouldn't object if by chance he did have a greater purpose in mind.

“Just...thinking about how much I'm enjoying tonight,” she began, “and how much I'm going to hate it on Sunday when you fly back to University.”

“Just a few more months, then I'll be home for good. And with any luck, next year's Love Day will be even more special than this one.” Simon pulled back slightly and gazed longingly into Alexia's eyes. “I'm hoping that we will be celebrating our first ever Love Day...as man and wife.”

Man and...huh?!



Alexia gasped as Simon dropped to one knee and pulled a tiny box out of his jacket pocket. This was happening. This was actually happening...!

“Lexie...will you marry me?”

An uncharacteristically girlish giggle made its way from Alexia's throat as Simon opened the box. The ring itself was breathtakingly beautiful, but the sentiment behind it was far more so. Five simple little words. A simple, life-changing question.

And only one possible answer.

“Of course I will, you silly goof.”

That was a lovely proposal.  Beautifully written again Raia.  Alexia looks a lot like Morgana now she's older.

I have to admit that I've been stalking this thread for quite some time...But when Simon proposed I knew I had to post. It was just so unbelievably cute! I'm smiling just thinking about it.

Thanks! I really like Jeremy's friend group. A nice smattering of townie kids. :)

Excellent as always, and a wedding to look forward to now as well. You are spoiling us!!  ;D

Aw, thank you! I'm looking forward to the wedding as well. It's going to be...chaotic, that's for sure. :P

Aww! Congrats to the new couple! They are so great for each other. I'm still working on that couple name! Simlex is at the top of my list :)

Great chapter! They are such a cute couple and I love the way you describe Morgana and Leighton's love for each other.

I have to admit they're probably my favorite of the couples so far in the game...though Justin/Lesley is up there as well. I can't wait until that one gets fleshed out more in story.

Aw!  Happy Love Day, Lexie and Simon - and Happy Valentine's Day to you :).

Thank you! I hope yours was as well!

Awww!  That was too cute!  And so Simon and Lexie ^^  I love this story so much.

<blush> Many thanks. I am so glad that you are enjoying it!

That was a lovely proposal.  Beautifully written again Raia.  Alexia looks a lot like Morgana now she's older.

Alexia's complexion is slightly darker, but she is Morgana in every other possible way. One of these days I ought to stick her in Morgana's base game outfit just for the comparison...and for that matter I should do the same between Simon and Geoffrey.

I have to admit that I've been stalking this thread for quite some time...But when Simon proposed I knew I had to post. It was just so unbelievably cute! I'm smiling just thinking about it.

Hi there! <waves> I'm glad that the proposal made you smile. I was grinning like mad when I wrote it. :P

No timeline yet on the next update. I just got back from my vacation (yay Texas!) and have what is shaping up to be an intense week coming up, so I'm not sure when I'm going to get the chance to write. Nearly 20,000 views...and I am seriously blown away. Thank you all so, so much! :D
