Chapter 102: Zach's Getting ReadyMorning Zach.Zach: Morning Watcher.
Did you just do some extra credit homework?Zach: Yes, I did. I thought about what Mr.H. said to me yesterday and I want to finish everything the way I started.
Way to go Zach!
Wow! You are getting really good at cooking now. You know that you don't have to learn how to cook if you don't want to, right?Zach: Yes, I know, and thanks, but I do want to learn. I want to be able to cook Trinity's first plate of ambrosia for her.
Oh Zach <tears up> that's so lovely.
Not those girls again?Zach: Oh no, just I'm late. I'm meeting Casey at the library 'cos he's going to give me some more guitar lessons.
Zach: Thanks heaps.
Casey: No worries. Did you remember your guitar?
Zach: lol, yep, got it this time.
Hi Trinity. I didn't realize you came too.Trinity: Yes, although I don't know if I'll be able to get much work done with those two arguing about who won so loudly like that.
Trinity: Oh, My Rice! How lovely to see you here.
Loty: Trinity! What a pleasant surprise! How are you my dear?
Any luck finding that super rare fossil you're after?Lily: No, not so far.
It's lovely here though. This is where you and Ash got married, just over there.
Lily: I miss Ash but it all feels like it happened so long ago.
Are you falling for Casey?Lily: No, of course not.
Lily... let's just be honest and talk this through, ok? You look and sound like you need to sort this all out.
Lily: I do, thank you. I guess it's just that Casey and I have been BFF for quite a while now. We clicked straight away that day we met in the park.
I remember. But you and Ash were made for each other.Lily: But he's not here, with me, anymore. I.... I just don't know anymore. I can't seem to figure it all out.
So what are you going to do? You have to talk to Casey one way or another. Really Lily, you can't keep him hanging on and hoping that you will want to start something with him.Lily: It all seems so mixed up. My elder birthday is just around the corner. Then how would I explain it all to Ash. I don't know if he would ever understand, or forgive me...
Then make a decision. Any decision. You'll know if it's the wrong one because it will feel wrong! Right? But you will never know if you don't actually make that decision...Lily: What would you do?
Honestly? I'd tell Casey to back off. He will respect your decision and still be your friend. If that's what you are worried about.Lily: It's just that Casey is so persuasive and somehow it seems right when I'm with him.
Oh Lily, how can you be so clever and yet so unsure of yourself? Make a decision... ok. Just actually do it.
Zach: Ow.. err, that wasn't quite right.
Casey: It's fine. you'll hit many wrong notes on your journey towards the right tune!
Casey: Whew! think I've a bit of a headache happening!
Zach: Sorry... it's just I want to be able to play for Trinity on my birthday.
Casey: It's not you Zach, I've just got this thing going on that I can't seem to solve...
Any fish?Beth: Two angelfish and quite a few salmon.
Cool!Dude: Hmm, no angelfish for me tonight. Quite frustrating.
Casey: You know Zach? I think you're ready! Just remember to try and not look your fingers as you play, try to commit the fingering for the chords to memory.
Zach: You know... I think I've got it!
I think it sounds beautiful. There's something about a guy that can play a guitar. <Thinks to herself....Ohhhhh, that's what's got Lily all mixed up, the romance of Casey's guitar playing.....> I'll see you guys at home, I've got something I've got to go and do.Zach: We'll meet you back there, Mr.H. Casey and I are heading to the gym first.
Oh right. I'll see you at the gym then, a bit later on.
Zach: <grunt> OK so it's supposed to hurt?
Dude: Lol, yeah, a little you know. You have to be able to feel it otherwise it isn't really working.
Zach: Thats cool then. I want to be ready for my birthday, you know?
Lots of nice ladies here Casey.Casey: Are you in the same dimension as me?
What? Look around you. There's a least five or six lovely ladies, all single...Casey: Yeah, not to be rude but there is not a single sim here who can even come close to being as beautiful as Lily.
What about the lady that is mentoring you? She's got a beautiful face.Casey: Pity 'bout the rest of her eh?
I'm going home.Casey: Good idea.
Casey: We need to talk Lily.
Lily: Oh hi Casey. I'm...
Casey: ... a bit busy right now. Yes. You always are doll. Thing is Lily, we do really need to talk. Now, please. I can't go on like this and I'm sure you can't really either.
