I want you to know that you've inspired myself to actually do something like this. I am totally giving you credit for pushing me over the fence into the "yes I will" column. Good luck to you and I can't wait to see what else has happened!
Why thank you! I was about to start a Legacy last week, but then I decided to wait until Pets came out. This is all so exciting! I will definitely follow whatever story you start.
Also, I have enough pictures for an additional update, so that's exactly what I'm gonna do!
Ch. 2: TrainingAcorn and I, we were just best the pair. In the morning I would ride him to the horse park and train until the afternoon. Acorn's skills continued to grow and he gained the trait Agile.
We'd take a break in the afternoon for lunch and affection. I loved Acorn so much.
I was feeling pretty confident and I encouraged Acorn to run the jumping track. He couldn't jump them all, but when he did jump one, it felt like I was flying.
While preparing for another competition, I found myself in a very awkward situation. Somehow, I had mounted Acorn backwards! I was pretty embarrassed, but I got over it. We had another competition to win!
Well, we entered the Advanced competition, and we made fourth place. That was okay with me. It just meant that I needed to train more.
I rode Acorn home and let him rest. He was exhausted. I took a cab to the library and tried to read up on some equestrian techniques. However, I didn't get any reading done because I met Gavin Pinkerton. I don't know why, but I was just so drawn to him. He was handsome not only in his looks, but in his actions. I really liked him.
I had work to do, though. Acorn and I needed to train. I was still living under the sky, and while Acorn gave me great joy, I would still like to have a real bed. So, I put Gavin out of my mind. The next morning, Acorn and I went through our normal routine, jumps and all.
That was when I stumbled across my first wild horse. It was beautiful with a luscious mane that I just wanted to touch. It didn't seem to want anything to do with me, though. And my heart broke.
However, I was determined and I pulled out a bell pepper and ran after the horse again. It gladly took the vegetable from me, and I got to touch it for a short minute. It was fascinating. An animal like Acorn, roaming the wild and only interacting with us sims when it chose, not when we chose. It made me wonder if it had ever seen a unicorn.
After a few more competitions, and a couple trophies, thanks to Acorn, I was able to afford a small home.
One morning, I went outside to take Acorn to the park like I did everyday, and I found this little gnome. Apparently it suddenly showed up while Acorn was licking his salt lick. It's the same color as Acorn.
Even jumps like him, too!
Acorn and I were really starting to make money in the competitions. I was so proud of him.
Here are some of the trophies that Acorn and I had won. They were sitting in my kitchen for lack of a better place to put them.
The next day, I got the urge to invite Gavin over to my humble abode. He came over, and I was overcome with the desire to propose. I don't know what it was, but it just felt like someone was choosing my decisions for me. I was okay with these decisions, though.
And apparently, so was Gavin. We married by my mailbox.Next Chapter
