Runaway Teen

[Nettlejuice]

I'd love a house to be built for me in the blink of an eye. The neighbours coming to greet him had me cracking up, if only he could talk to them.

[Alarianna]

Nice looking house, it suits him. I have become so connected to his story that I was as excited as he is. Look forward to seeing more of it.

[KRae]

That's the thing about Winston. We've all followed him in different stories, and he feels like a friend.

[Playalot]

@Cristina , thank you. House pics coming up.
@sdhoey, *snort*
@Nettlejuice , I was so surprised to see them, lol, couldn't do much so they just stood there for about four or so hours... 
@Alarianna , thanks. That's so nice to hear. 
@KRae , aww man, that's the sweetest comment ever. *Sniff*

House Tour

O.K. So we're going to start at the back of the house in the garden and with Dude's "I can't hear you nagging-I'm meditating" meditation space.



The path leads you round to the fire pit and the trash plant where it sits in isolation so it doesn't 'infect' all the other plants with it's flies and general bad karma.



Further round again we have the back garden with pool, spa, and general hanging out space.



Different view, same space. That's Dude's morning "I still can't hear you 'cos I'm meditating" meditation space.



Round to the front door and roof line. I've kept it in the same style as the rest of the neighbourhood's houses. I have this 'thing' about everything matching! 



The front entrance.



The other side of the wall and the stairs down to the basement. (Oh! And the fish tank. *Squee*)



Left basement is for the collections that are still being collected. The then completed collections get transferred into the museum *cough* err... basically the right hand basement room. Eventually I'll 'pretty it up'. Bottom right-hand corner is the sauna and massage room.  I've just sort of plonked those down too and will pretty them up as well... eventually.



I've played with both the sauna and massage table and everything works well despite looking so plain!



Back upstairs to the kitchen.



From the kitchen looking towards the dining and sitting 'rooms' and further outside to the fire pit.



Looking back towards the kitchen. Obviously!



Looking out over the desert view. I am totally loving playing on this lot. I've never actually played a household here before so I'm still buzzing about all the little things. Like the daily planes flying past and the night lights etc etc.



Dude's bedroom. (I used the MOO cheat to place the candle wall holder behind the bed.)



Other end of bedroom and en-suite door.



Dude's en-suite bathroom.



Bird's eye view. You can see the second bedroom in the upper top left corner. I'm using it as a focused room at the moment although all that stuff could easily go down into a basement room... or a second floor. But seeing as none of the other houses have second floors I'll probably build downwards. You can also see the guest half-bath with a toilet that Dude crafted. Heh, hope the guests don't get splinters!
So it's a very simple design, a nice little first house for a runaway teen eh.



Neighbourhood view. I've place the original townies onto a smaller lot on the corner. They just lost some garden space so no biggie for townies. The Maxis built spa is on the lot top right.


And that complete's the house tour. More chapters coming up soon.

Chapter 20

Aww, come on. Turn round. Lemme see.
No. I look like a complete jerk.
Lol, it can't be that bad...




There. And I'm warning you watcher, no funny comments.
*Gasp* <muffled laughter> *cough*
I knew it and why's this room so darn dark? Can't we afford lights?
*Still staring* I'll buy some more in a minute. You look fine, by the way.
I hate it. Let me change back.
No.
I hate you.
LOL




See, I bought you a fish tank, that's gotta make you feel better eh.
Yeah. I guess.
Come on, lets go check out the new spa.




Olivia: Woah! What are you even wearing Dude?
Dude: I'm gonna kill you watcher, first chance I get.
Hahahhaa




Oh thank goodness we're here. That has to be THE most embarrassing jog of my entire life.




Aww... spoil sport. Where's your new work out gear.
Uh huh watcher. I wore it once and that's enough.
*Sulks*




Instructor: Breath in..... and out..... focus your mind....
*giggle*
Dude: Shhh watcher. You're so embarrassing.







Dude: Errr.... I don't think I can even lift my leg!




Dude: This pose is a lot easier.
Townie Guy: Tell me about it. Last one had me stumped.
Instructor: Shhh... focus your minds....




Dude: <<wobble>> Oh!





Dude: Woah...errr.
Red Haired Townie: Ummm....*Grimace*




Dude: Watcher? I totally can't do that.
Don't worry about it...I can't do that either!




Dude: Oh yeah, got this one aced.
Yeah, looks like a mirror image *snort*




Dude: Hi five!



Ooops!




Oh yeah! I aced that!
O.K. You know what, I really wish I had your outlook on life. *Shakes head*
I'm off to do what all yoga gurus do after a good work out...
What's that?

[Shewolf13]

The house is awesome, Play!  And I about died at seeing Dude's outfit XD

[Playalot]

@Shewolf13 , thanks. I know, that outfit. LOL I just couldn't help myself! 

[Playalot]

Chapter 21

Morning Dude.
I can't hear you, I'm meditating.
*Eye roll* Then how did you know to reply?
I'm psychic.




Well you better get your psychic-self in here 'cos I've started a fire.




You do realize that's the third fire you've started with those incense thingies.
Umm, yeah. I just can't seem to help myself. I keep saying I won't light anymore ... and then... I just...have...to. Ugh.




Gee watcher, look at the huge mess you've made. Far OUT!
*Grimace* Sorry.




On a more exciting note. *Starts singing* "You just got a letter, you just got a letter".




Cool! 'Bout time the mail started working again.
What is it?
Some elements and the instructions on how to build a rocket in your back yard.
Cool. Wait! What? Build a what? ?




I don't know about this Dude.
It'll be fine. I think.




This is a pretty big DIY project Dude.
Yeah, might take me a while.




<<BANG>> Ohhh...*Deafened* Cripes! 




Yeah, I think I might keep this helmet thing on.
Hmm...how about a break? We should go say hi to some neighbours.




Dude: Hi! I'm Winston, nice to meet cha.
J: Hiya kid, come on in.




Dude: Sorry I was out the other day. Had school ya know.
Mitch: No worries. School's important.
Dude: Sorry about taking your lot. My watcher's a bit pushy. When she get's an idea into her head there's just no stopping her.
J: All good. You've just got to figure out how to keep her in her place, ya know?
Dude: lol, easier said than done mate... I'm telling ya.




Dude: Check these out, I've been getting into yoga!
J: Oh looking good. Wanna hit the gym?
Dude: Sure!
Mitch: I might just stay here and grab a nap... long day and all that.





Dude: You know Mitch, not being mean or anything but you really should exercise more.
J: I've been telling him that for years.
Mitch: I like watching sport, just don't like doing it. *shrug*





Don: Want some pointers kid?
Dude: Sure!




Woah! Go easy on the kid Don.
Don: Back off watcher. I'm a specialist. I know what I'm doing.
Dude: *Grunt* Don meet my watcher... watcher meet....
Yeah, we've met.
Don: Hmm




Hiya Kellie, how's things?
Kellie: Good thanks. You hiding from Don?
How dya know?
Keliie: I think everyone heard your little 'argument'.
Oh, how embarrassing. That man get's right under my skin.
Bella: Tell me about it!




Don gone?
Dude: Yep.
Summer: *constant chit chat*
Dude: Watcher?
Hmm?
Dude: Does Summer always talk this much?
Yep.
Dude: Hmmm, I still like her but maybe you're right. She really IS too old for me.
*Grin* <silently thinks "told ya so">

[Cristina]

I love the house,  I think it suits Winston. Dude's outfit was hysterical! I liked the yoga, maybe someday he'll become a real yogi 

And it's a good thing he moved on from Summer. He can do better 

[Playalot]

@Cristina , thanks. I agree about Summer, much as I like her.    I really like the new CAS stuff from Spa Day but that short crop top for men is just too funny. *giggle*

Chapter 22


You still working on the rocket?
Yeah, upgrading.
Well at least take a break, do something different for a bit.
K.




It's getting dark soon. You want some dinner?
Hmm, then I'm coming back out to do some more.
I think you should leave it.
Nope. I really want this finished.




Later...

You planning on sleeping any time?
Na, I'm fine. Had a nap earlier.




Some time early the next morning....

Woo! Guess what watcher?




You finished?
Yep.
Wow, well done Dude. Looks great!
Thanks.




Oh!
What?
Well, just a little surprised that the first thing you do after completing the rocket is your homework.
Needs doing.




Hi Zesty, just in time.
Zesty: For what watcher?
Dude: Helping me with my math 'cos the watcher's math skills suck.
They're not that bad...just a little creative that's all.
Dude: *snort*




Zesty: I think most of those ones you've already done are correct.
See? Told you my math wasn't that bad.
Dude: They're the ones I did.
Oh.




Dude: <Wickedly gross joke.>
Zesty: Aw yuk!
*sigh* I do try to house train him, honest.
Dude: *Snicker*




Zesty: You know Dude, you should really count your blessings ya know. Being watched is the chance of a life time.
Dude: Yeah, I do know that. Just can't help but rile her up sometimes.
Zesty: That's cool. Just you know, be chill, eh.




Dude: I've heard there are aliens that will abduct you if you catch their attention. Spooky eh?
Zesty: I have heard some rumors. Not sure if I believe them though to be honest.




Zesty: Tell you what I do know...*Splash* mouthy teens get locked in their bedrooms by angry watchers. Lol
Dude: Oi! *Splashes back*
Zesty: I gotta run to work. What are you going to do?
Dude: Hit the gym.
Zesty: Lol, I don't know why I even bothered to ask.




Dude: This gym rocks watcher.
Bella: Ooo such attractive decor.




Dude: *concentrating* I got this...







Umm... that doesn't quite look right Dude!
Dude: Tell me about it!





Dude: Falling! Help watcher!




Dude: OOommphhh. Ow. Pain. Errr, I might just head downstairs and do some of the basics eh watcher.
*Cringe* ooo, yeah. That might be a good idea hun.









Dereck: (Red Shorts) Heh, see you've found the bossiest trainer this side of the Simverse Dude. *Snicker*
Trainer: Trouble with you kids is you don't know a good thing when you see it.
Dude: Umm, well, a little less shouting might be nice, just saying.




Dereck: Woah! Instant muscles. Tell ya what Dude, mixing weights with yoga makes you ripped in no time!

[Playalot]

Chapter 23

I thought you'd finished mucking around with the rocket.
Have now.
What were you actually doing?
Umm, something called a worm hole something or rather. I dunno exactly.
Sounds weird.
Agree.
Anyway, go have a shower, you're all stinky.




Pass me that towel will ya.
Can't. Txting.
Oh don't worry, I'll get it myself. This is one wicked shower by the way. Thanks for buying it.
That's ok. Glad ya like it. The infinity water spout thing looks cool.
It is. Very.




Umm, why you even in here?
Well I was just going to tell you that you've got a visitor at the door, but then I had to reply to a txt and then we talked about the shower... so yeah.
Sometimes I wonder just who is the adult here. *sigh*





Dude: Hiya Matt, how's your day going?
Matt: Oh so so. Not majorly flash eh. But I can't complain I guess.




Dude: Hey! I've got just the thing to cheer you up. Watcher bought this new massage chair thing. Wanna try it?




Matt: Hhm. Feels pretty good.
Dude: Yeah, it's a bit touchy-feely but that's cool.




Matt: Ouch! Sheesh don't mangle it Dude.




FIRE!!! 
Dude: Tell me you did NOT light another unattended incense thingy.
*silence* <<pause>> FIRE!!!




Dude: Look will you just quit lighting these things all the time.
*Sheepishly* K. I just thought...
Dude: NO. No more K watcher?
K. Wanna go to the gym?
Dude: Stop changing the subject. But yeah, that would be good.





Mrs LG: Heard you had another fire Winston. Have you thought about installing an automatic sprinkler system?
Dude: Oh we have one of those already.
Mr LG: Good, there are well worth the money my boy.
Dereck: Hey Dude? You up for the yoga class?
Dude: Yep.




Dereck: This is easy.
Dude: 'This' is just the warm up lol.




Dereck: Yeah, my body just doesn't do this.
Dude: Focus the mind...
Instructor: Shhh boys.




Bella: This move kills me. I've been trying for months and I just can't do it.
Instructor: It takes practice Bella dear, stick with it.





Dereck: I dunno about getting zen. All I'm getting is all hot and sweaty.
Dude: Lol








Dude: You heading Dereck?
Dereck: Just hitting the showers. Ugh.
Dude: K, spot ya tomorrow.




Later at home...

<Stern voice> Umm, and where do you think you're going Mr Hollingsworth?




Up, up and away! Spot cha watcher!
Oh no you don't...




<Yelling over the noise> I'm so going to tear strips off you my boy when you get back. *Gulp* Be safe, ya hear?




*Huge sigh* Well, least you're home safe.
Hm hmm, that totally rocked! Woo!




Aaaand you're totally grounded. *sarcastically* Woo!

[Tixxis]

Totally caught up now - You were on a roll, Playalot! That was quite a read.
The house is amazing. So much open space. It must be a dream to play with.
Loved all the new EP bits. And Bella's expressions are priceless!

[Cristina]

Hmm I wonder if Winston is going to start getting abducted soon. . .

I love that incense argument. I like a stern Dude
