Runaway Teen

Chapter 36


Dereck: I think I've had enough of gardening to last me a looong time watcher.
I think both of you deserve a break. You guys should go...I dunno... hang out or something.
Dude: Actually I've got someone I need to go see but I'm keen for a work out if you are Dereck?
Dereck: Totally!
K, have fun then. I'll catch up with you later.
Dude: Umm...I was wondering if you'd come with me watcher.
Sure. That'll be sweet.
Dude: Cool.




Cassy: What are you doing here?
Dude: I've been waiting to see you.
Cassy: Well, I don't want to talk to you.
Cassy, just as a favor to me, would you listen to Dude just for five minutes?
Cassy: O.K watcher, you've got five minutes Dude.




Dude: Thanks for talking to me Cassy.
Cassy: Four and a half minutes.




Dude: I want to apologize for hurting you. That was never my intention. I was hurt that you didn't want to go out with me... and so things just got all messed up.
Cassy: So you decided to jump straight into another relationship with Kellie. How does that work then eh? You must have really liked me to be able to give up on me so fast. Eh Winston.
Dude: I can only say sorry Cassy. And I do like you, a lot. I always will.




Cassy: Oooo I could just punch your nose!
Dude: Huh? Oh no... Cassy I'm trying to make things right.
Cassy: You're so stoopid. I was going to say yes... I just got surprised and then Annabelle walked in and I got all tongue tied and said that I only came over each day 'cos of homework pressure.




Cassy: I came over each day 'cos I liked you.
Dude: Liked?
Cassy: Yep. Liked.
Dude: Oh.




Dude: We've been friends for years. Doesn't that stand for something?
Cassy: I don't know Dude. Does it?




Dude: Yes. Yes it does. I like you a lot and no matter what you think I'll always be your friend.
Cassy: Sounds so nice, pity reality doesn't match your fantasy eh.




Cassy: Your five minutes is up. Thanks for apologizing.




Well, that could have gone a lot worse.
Dude: Yeah, we'll be ok after Cassy's cooled down. *Sigh* I'm kinda over all the talking and stuff though.
K, let's go find Dereck. Dude?
Dude: Yeah?
I'm proud of you for doing your best to set things right. It's never easy admitting your wrong but the quicker you do and the quicker you apologize the less collateral damage there is.




Denzil:(Michael's dad) Your chess is coming along Dereck. Michael said you bet him at chess club yesterday.
Dereck: Thanks. Yeah, finally got on the leader board. It was cool. Michael and I have been thinking about setting up a lunch time club to bring some of the younger kids at school into the world of chess!
Denzil: Sounds a plan!




Dude: Hi Zesty.
Zesty: Hi Dude.




Zesty: You ok?
Dude: Yeah. Just a bit talked-out.




Dude: Ever had one of those days... that just keeps on going and going?
Zesty: Yep. Best thing is to go beat the daylights outta a punching bag.




Dude: Lol, now you're talking!




Dude: Thanks for understanding.
Zesty: No worries.
Dereck: Bye Mr Fox, tell Michael I'll call in tomorrow.
Denzil: Will do Dereck.




Dereck: O.K. I'm not just being geeky...there is something up with the yoga teacher.
Dude: I don't care... actually, I'm just not ever going to have any sort of opinion about a female ever again. They speak another language, I'm telling you.




Dereck: What, like that 'men are from mars women are from venus' sorta thing?
Dude: That.




Matts Mum: Opps, you boys make it look so easy!
Dereck: It takes a lot of practice. You should get Matt to buy you your own yoga mat for home eh.










Dereck: I...got...this....
Matts mum: Wow, just, no!




Dereck: Ouch!
Dude: Heh.





Dereck: Ah well, least I was already down here.
Dude: *Snort*

Chapter 37

Dude: Oh yeah, this is the life.
Dereck: Cripes, you don't need to yell at me I'm just right here!
Trainer: You wanna build muscle, then start paying in sweat!
Dude: *snort* That sounds like some corny line outta an 80's movie or something.




Dude: Right, what's next? Sauna?
Dereck: I'm going for a run first. You better go say hi to your girlfriend. She's been throwing daggers at you for the last 20 mins!




Dude: Hi Kellie, sorry I don't come over sooner. I didn't see you there.
Kellie: Whatever.




Kellie: Look if you don't want to do this...
Dude: Of course I do... I really just didn't see you. How've you been?




Kellie: O.K. I guess *grunt*
Dude: That's really good. Umm do you want some fitness pointers?




Kellie: Na, I'm actually going to chat to Zane, he's kinda cute.
Dude: *sigh* K then.




You're taking your fitness pretty seriously these days.
Dereck: Yeah. Good stress outlet.




I always find that turning to chocolate in times of great stress works for me.
Dereck: Hmmff... calories watcher. Calories.




It's nice over here in Newcrest eh.
Dereck: Hm hmm. It is.




Dereck: Woah! See the abs on Katrina! Must remind me never to mess with her!
Lol, yeah...actually probably better to stay way clear of her daughters too. lol
Dereck: Don't need to tell me twice!




Grim: Hey! How ya been? Looking good Dude!
Dude: Not so shabby yourself mate.




Dude: Check it out!
Grim: Oooo
Dude: lol, come on. Lets do a class eh. That'll build your muscle fast-as.




Grim: Woah! You guys have changed poses already!
Dude: Just do it at your own pace... takes a while to get into the swing of it.








Grim: I don't think my body actually does that....yeah. I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Actually, thinking about it...I don't think your body should do that either Dude.
Dude: Heh, don't make me laugh! I'll probably rupture something!!




Grim: I'll just do this again.
Dude: You'd be ok doing this pose. In fact it's called the Corpse Pose...




Grim: Oh yeah! I own this!
Alice: O.K now I'm seriously creeped out!




Grim: Give us a hand up will you?
Dude: Sure.





Grim: Woo! That was awesome!
Dude: Uh huh! *grin*

[Alarianna]

I love this story. This is like watching a TV series, over too quickly and the wait for next installment

[Cristina]

Haha I loved Dude and Grim working out 

It's too bad Cassy's still mad at Dude. I hope she forgives him eventually

[Playalot]

@Alarianna , thanks! It's lovely to know you're enjoying it! 
@Cristina , I think Cassy will forgive Dude as they have a history... or technically a future. In my first dynasty attempt she became Dude's soul mate and spouse. They were soooo cute together!

Well, time for a little catch up. If you hadn't already guessed all the drama with Dude and Kellie was me trying to write in Dude doing the Serial Romantic aspiration. I find this the hardest aspiration to write into a story as it just always makes the sim completing it seem like such a jerk! I don't know if I succeeded in writing it in any better this time around either to be honest!

I can't remember if I have already said this but I'm now just basically playing Dude for fun and will complete all the aspirations I can while he is a teen, max all the skills and of course complete all the collections. So here's where he's at, new things completed in italics. The My Sims Trophies was a killer. I just kept getting the same trophies over and over again! Eventually when Dude was at the Oasis Spring park as a side thought I got him to use up three treasure maps he had left over from the last major dig session and the last one turned up Zombie Carl. Then I nearly sold it by accident! lol

Aspirations Completed: Body Builder, Musical Genius, Painter Extraordinaire, Fabulously Wealthy, Nerd Brain, Angling Ace, Freelance Botanist, Outdoor Enthusiast, The Curator, Serial Romantic, and Friend of The World.

Skills maxed: Charisma, Guitar, Home Style Cooking, Gourmet Cooking, Fishing, Gardening, Handiness, Logic, Rocket Science, Herbalism, Fitness, Painting.

Collections Completed: Frogs, Fish, Fossils, Plants (all perfect), Microscope Prints, Geodes, Crystals, Metals, My Sim Trophies, Space Rocks.

[Nettlejuice]

Oh, I can't stop laughing! Grim and yoga, I need to see more of it!

[Alarianna]

I like how you manage to make the aspirations interesting. Great collection: am I beyond saving if I caught myself trying to zoom in on your picture?   

[Playalot]

So I've decided to put this story on hold for a little while. Mainly because I want some teens ready to play with when Get Together comes out and I only have a few more goals to reach before teen Winston will have nothing more to do apart from age up!

I'll actually miss playing with these two sims, they are a lot of fun to play for sure. Thank you for all your comments...and @Alarianna , yeah, you're probably waaaay beyond saving if you're trying to zoom someone elses pics. It's all good though as I've caught myself trying to rotate someone's screenies before lol  Signs of a dedicated simmer I say!!

[fivine]

So funny how grim got into yoga. Loved that one.

[KTK10]

Finally caught up! What great story telling as usual, and your house.. wow..! Looking forward to seeing what you do with this pair when GT comes out

[Magpie2012]

I was watching a let's play the other day and tried to zoom in the screen and deselect pause lol

[FishPanda]

I have really loved this story. It was engaging, funny, had compelling characters, there was a good balance between the pictures and the text and of course the writing itself was great. I hope we'll get to hear more from Winston and Dereck, I've become attached to them!

[Magpie2012]

@Fishpanda if you want more of Winston, check out Play's immortal dynasty! It is right up there with the Dreamweavers! Yup I said it and it's true!

[FishPanda]

Thank you, I will!

[audbooh]

Aw, man. I've been reading this for a while, but totally forgot to comment. Just read it again, just because I realised that you finished your dynasty and I was like, where can I get more Winston? Oh, wait, his TEEN story! Well, now I know, and wow, teen Winston was so rebellious, it makes me laugh!

Well, I hope that Mr. Dude fixes his problems. He probably will seeing that 1) he's awesome 2) he has great support 3) he has an amazing watcher

Dear Teen Dude,

I have seen your future. Nah, I'm just kidding. Hang in there, you will do amazing! I just know it! You are awesome bro, and if you just own up to your mistakes you will become wiser. P.s. Fake dating is a bad idea man!
