I enjoy what a hopeless romantic Ed is and how that contrasts with Elizabeth being so much more of a carefree personality.  Example:  his deep and meaningful tattoo as opposed to her "because he likes flowers" tattoo.  Well-written characters!

Don't worry Katherine, you will be free of your requirements when your son/daughter is born(most likely daughter knowing the watcher  ;) ) I think Ed and Elizabeth will make gorgeous nooboos.  ;D

I've decided not to tamper in this dynasty, but yes . . . I do love daughters  ;) . Of course they make gorgeous nooboos! This is Edward and Elizabeth we're talking about.

Awww!  So cute!  lol, not bitter at all, are ya Katherine?

Not bitter, just . . . bitter.

Thanks! That's precisely what I was going for.

Of course E&E were going to end up together! They have alliteration, for goodness sake!

Life of the Party
« Reply #78 on: August 23, 2013, 07:11:10 PM »
  I've pulled a Hermione Granger and look around corners with a mirror. Reason: Edward and Elizabeth aren't married yet, but that doesn't stop them from acting like newlyweds.



  We've switched up the sleeping arrangements a little. I got rid of one bed in the room that we three used to share, and Mom moved in there with me--which means I'm now sharing a room with my mom. Nice. My sister remodeled the master bedroom and she and Edward claimed it as their own.



  Of course, we all know that if I'm going to have a bachelorette party . . . no explanation required.



  I gave the toast, which included rambling descriptions of all of Elizabeth's casual flirtations--and her ex, Abram, then launched into an explanation of her relationship with Edward, including how she made him do her homework in elementary school.



  The guests all enjoyed it, especially Irene Su.



  Since this is my sister's bachelorette party we're talking about, way better party dancers showed up!



  Other guests included platinum rock stars, actors, prime politicians, renowned artists, those hipster people who just kind of hang out in the back of the room and look cool, William Shakespeare, and that gnome from that movie.



  I suppose that's a perk from being mayor: you meet a lot of people.



  Elizabeth is one of the most amazing people I know. She's smart, hilarious, the best dancer I know, and all kinds of epic. She and Edward will be perfect together, and I hate that I'm going to move out soon and leave them behind.



  And she is always the life of the party!



  The crowd soon moved downstairs, where the heavily nectar-ed guests started flirting with each other.



  Elizabeth had even invited Edward's ex-girflriend, Eleanor. She invited her not to rub the victory in her face, but to help her out a little.



  Eleanor Alto is officially back on the market.



  Unlike my sister, I kept my escapades to a minimum, instead chatting with a few of my coworkers over in the corner. Elizabeth, on the other hand, turned to find herself being kissed by a stranger in ratty clothes.



  She shoved him back, only to realize that the handsome stranger just happened to be her fiancé.



  Awww. Puppy love.



  They ditched the party (leaving me to clean up the mess, I might add) to escape to the bedroom.



  What does "the mess" entail, you ask? It includes collection and disposal of all the empty nectar bottles, dragging passed-out guests into their taxis, chasing cats out of the bathroom, and kicking out the party dancers.



  Lizzie has been getting great offers for Heir or Spare for years, and she finally gave in and sold the blog just so she could start a new one: A Guide to Befriending NPC's. I read the first few posts.



  The first thing to remember is that you, my fellow spares, have the absolute best job in the universe. Your task in life is literally to meet new people, make prank calls to the police, throw bachelor/ette parties, hire mixologists and DJ's, have other people babysit your children, watch amazing acrobat/singer/magician shows, and more!



  The two absolute best skills to develop are Charisma and Social Networking. With high enough Charisma, you don't need Social Networking, and with high enough Social Networking, you don't need Charisma! I, personally, have completed so many Charisma challenges that I can make friends just like that!

  Oh, and one great tip: You can never go wrong with a funny cat video.



  While Elizabeth sends her message to the Simverse, Eddie (his equivalent of Lizzie) hangs out with his kids. Sonya is still a toddler, and she loves her daddy. Both of the Alto kids do, never mind that their parents are no longer together.



  Karim is an adorable little boy (Trip! Over here!) who looks just like his father.



  Oh, and I finally got my once-a-decade visit with Bronson! He's a mermaid now, by the way. Not sure what to make of that. I hate to say it, but fingers crossed it's worn off by the time we get married! Things are difficult enough without having to deal with mermadicness for a few generations.

I've had a couple of character who were mermaids become regular humans.  Not sure why that particular life state comes and goes.  Anyway, lovely update!  The stranger in the ratty clothes bit was rather amusing.

Thanks, it was lots of fun writing them! I have a master plan when it comes to NPC's.

That's exactly what happened to Bronson! Weird glitch, but it worked in my favor, so yay for glitches!

Extraordinarily Happy
« Reply #82 on: August 24, 2013, 04:40:15 PM »
  Elizabeth threw a party at the Summer Festival. Lizzie went straight to the spray tan booth, even though she has Dad's skin and easily burned, like me. She now has the "Skin of a Bronze Goddess."



  She, two of her NPC friends, and Karim all participated in the Hot-Dog eating contest, which Karim won. Little boys can pack away a lot of food.



  Elizabeth, on the other hand, ran into the bushes to throw up. Apparently the nausea persisted throughout the night, since I heard her racing into the bathroom several times in the midnight hours.



  While his fiancé experienced . . . problems . . . Edward hung out with his son. He's still determined to make sure both of his children have a decent childhood and education.



  Then the lovebirds ditched the party (they do that often, it seems) to make out by the rollerskating rink.



  They raced back to the house and locked the door to their new bedroom.



  Unfortunately, their lovefest was cut short by further technical difficulties.



  Oh, and good news: Story Progression is struggling to make a comeback! Townie romances are starting to sprout up, few but present. Living arrangements are starting to change. Eleanor Alto moved in with her boyfriend, Raja Ansari. Irene Su had a romantic interest (who died). Something is stirring!



  I went on a one-day business trip to China that isn't even worth mentioning, and came back to find everything unchanged and Edward and Elizabeth still in their bedroom.



  My sister revealed the big news: I was about to become an aunt.



  They were both extraordinarily happy. Edward did a scan and figured out that they were having a boy, and they were extraordinarily happy about that, too. Since they're both celebrities in Lunar Lakes, they moved the wedding up a little as to not have a baby out of wedlock--and were extraordinarily happy about being married earlier than planned.



  Celebrations were held in the All-in-One Bathroom.



  Oh, and Mom became an International Super Spy and achieved her lifetime wish! She looks  foxy in her new uniform.

I occasionally get townie romances too, though it's a rare phenomenon (but before Seasons, I still got townie marriages). Now if only they'd put things together and make babies. :P

Hurray for nooboos!

Exactly!  It would be nice if we didn't have to populate the whole town at some point XD

Hehehe, nooboos!  Hooray for nooboos!  E&E are so darn cute!

It's funny how this story has become so very Edward and Elizabeth focused as it's developed.  It's obvious who's winning the spares versus heirs competition in the early going.

I have not commented for a while, but I have been reading the story. Good luck to Eliza and her nooboos. It was great to see townie romance. Looking forward for next update and the nooboos:)

E & E Forever
« Reply #88 on: September 07, 2013, 04:40:39 PM »
  As Elizabeth's due date approached, she and Edward sent out invitations for the wedding down at the Oasis Shoreline. Because of their celebrity status in the town, and the family reputation in general, they wanted to avoid having a baby out of wedlock.



  Besides, they couldn't wait to get married! Oh, those crazy kids . . .



  They were married in a beautiful, intimate ceremony surrounded by flowers.



  I couldn't have been happier for my sister. She looked so gorgeous and happy, and is about the only person I know who can pull off a wedding with a huge baby bump. Just look at how wonderful they are together!



  Even on this joyful occasion, I can't help but feel a twinge of sadness. My requirements are so close to being wrapped up that I'll be able to leave by my adult birthday. And then I'll leave Elizabeth, and Edward, and my soon-to-be nephew. At least I can celebrate this day with them.



  E & E FOREVER





  Since no respectable Woohoo locations were available, the newlyweds headed straight for the karaoke machine. Here are a few pictures the photographer took for the photo album.







  The guests were made up of the extended family, except for the Landgraabs, since they're not "officially" related to Alexander, family image and all. There were a few people I hadn't met, including little Sonya Alto.



  And, of course, Rodrick Sekemoto, the son of Alexander Cross and Gretel Sekemoto. Obviously, all of Edward's good genes came from Patricia.



  At last, when the majority of the guests had left and I was packing up the wedding cake, I glanced over to see Edward and Elizabeth slow-dancing by the pond.



  Laughing, they climbed into the car and drove up to the Bistro to have newlywed dinner before coming home with Mom and I. We were busy soundproofing the master bedroom, since we had work the next morning.



  As it turned out, the wedding was just in time!



  Lizzie drove home (Edward was in a state of frantic shock) and gave birth right there in the kitchen. Where we make food.



  Welcome into the world, Jacob Cross! We're all very much starting to regret that Elizabeth wasn't named Bella, because then we would have a very twisted Twilight going on.

When I saw that Sekemoto kid, I first asked myself how Buck Green of Twinbrook found his way to Lunar Lakes. It's not exactly a compliment either. :P
