The Fennell Legacy: Generation 1: Chapter 13

[sims_by_izza]

In our last episode: The Fennells adopted a new kitty named Sonia, Natasha and Carrie both celebrated birthdays and Carrie was chosen as heir.


Josie had lost all interest in journalism - she didn't even care to work a single day as a Media Magnate.  Instead, she quit her job and decided to devote herself full time to writing novels.  She's actually written three bestsellers now and is eagerly awaiting the repair of her recently exploded computer so she can start writing another.


Sonia: "She should step away from that stupid keyboard and spend some time with me..."
Aww.  As if you don't get attention every few minutes!


Everybody loves Sonia.  Even the neighbourhood strays can't resist her charms.  I can't vouch for Papoose though.  He hasn't been seen since shortly after Alexandra's demise.  I swear I didn't delete him!  He just hasn't showed up.  Good riddance.


Why the long face, Josie?
Josie: "When am I going to start on my 50 first dates?"
Never.  Never ever!
Josie: "There's your answer."


After school, Carrie headed to the local pet store...
Doggie: "Looking for me?"
Carrie: "Nope.  I'm looking, but it's my own species I'm interested in today..." *scopes room and comes up zilch*
She then systematically worked her way through each community lot, spending several hours at each.  Zilch.


The hunt was on.  She headed to where Natasha had met Virgil, as she'd heard it was a good place to meet guys from her beloved big sis.  No luck on the guy front though.  It was the polar opposite to a sausage fest!  She did meet Arizona Eckert by rhiannon_alexis , though. 
It's always good to know the pretty townies.  They may be of no use to Carrie in this instance, but it's good to have at least one family member acquainted with them at all times!


She drove over to The Little Green Diner next and spotted this fashion disaster with the unfortunate name of Humphrey.  However, considering she'd been to every single community lot except the mall and not seen anyone she found even slightly unrepulsive, she decided to go introduce herself.


Humphrey: "Sorry.  I only date underwear models."
Carrie: "GTFO then!"
She decided to go check out the action at the mall.  It was her last chance!


There wasn't a single teenage guy at the mall, though she spent a good three hours just hanging out.  While she waited for some guys her age to show up, she tried to get acquainted with Chlorine by thealicecat .  It didn't go too well...
Chlorine: "No offense, but I can't be seen dancing with you.  People would wonder about my intentions and there is no way I'm risking my reputation like that!"


Too exhausted to keep looking, Natasha drove home in defeat for some beauty rest.
Natasha: "I'll try again tomorrow.  Maybe to be downloading me some tasty teen boys and turning them in to townies before I wake up?"
I don't think so.  There are plenty of teen guys in the townie pool.  I've checked.


The next afternoon, Carrie quickly completed her homework in order to have plenty of hours of searching for a date.  She clearly didn't have her mind on the assignment, but she finished it anyway.  Bryn is far too eager to see her continue to succeed in school to allow her out on a school night if her homework is incomplete.


Virgil: *stalks walks past the Fennell home in the hopes of finding his lost Natasha*
She doesn't live here anymore.  And I don't like taking pictures of you.  Your pants are too revealing.  Maybe some other generation, buddy.


Bryn is still alive and kicking.  He's been working very hard at his skills.  He's currently mastering creativity, and Sonia loves to sing along whenever he plays the piano.


Considering it was the only place she saw a cute guy the previous day, Carrie heads to The Little Green Diner once again.  First she plays the waiting game...


And then spots Yellow Shirt Guy aka Shannon.  Definitely some potential here.


Shannon: "Yo!"
Mohawk Townie: "What an idiot."
Natasha: "So, what do you like in a girl...?
Shannon: "Black hair.  I dig chicks with black hair.  Chicks like you."
Excellent.  Commence first date spam!


Carrie: "To first dates!  May they be awesome!"
Shannon: "I'll drink to that..."
Empty toasting glasses are empty.


Their cheap spaghetti dinner went quite well, and by the end of dinner the two were already friends.


Carrie: "I hope he's too engrossed in this backrub to notice that evil warlock.  It'd be kinda off-putting if he freaked out..."


The date went very well.  Carrie developed a crush on Shannon, but Shannon took it one step further and declared his love for Carrie.  She wasn't sure what to say.  She liked him, sure.  A lot.  But love?


She ended the date with her first kiss and Shannon was certainly of the opinion that this first date was the stuff that dreams were made of.  Carrie immediately wanted to ask him on a second date, but he left immediately, so she jumped in the car and drove home above the speed limit to call him and invite him on another.
This time the met at So You Think You Can Skate..., the local roller skating rink.  They never actually made it inside, because...


The deflowering was far more important to them both.  At the tender age of fourteen, Carrie was no longer a virgin - and on the second date, too!  And she wasn't even in love!  Romance sim extraordinaire!
Unsavoury Charlattan: *was very cooperative in becoming a homemade censorship tool*
Note: I have ACR and Teen Enabled Woohoo Wants installed, but I do not have Inteen.  My teens can woohoo, and apparently sometimes want to.  This was the first time I'd ever seen a want roll for it, and the first time I ever had a teen woohoo.  But there is no teen pregnancy in my game.  Never fear that generation three would be on the way before generation two even started! 


Afterwards, Shannon expressed a desire to go grab another meal.  Carrie was too full of excitement and shining eyes to refuse to buy him dinner again.


Carrie: *eats a lot slower than Shannon*
I think she must talk more....
After dinner, Carrie wanted to move the date back home.  How sweet, thought Simgod.  She wants to introduce this fellow to her parents.  Yeah, right.


She just wanted to have a private makeout session in the front yard.  It was another dream date, with the added bonus of him sticking around afterwards.


Carrie secretly set up a double bed in her room, which her daddy had purchased for her when Natasha moved out.  She had seen no point in reading the instructions on assembly until now, but suddenly she realized a double bed was a very good idea.  Her parents didn't suspect a thing.  Bryn was playing piano so loudly at the opposite end of the house that he never heard Carrie come home, let alone the sounds coming from her bedroom.  After this more private time spent together, Carrie admitted that her feelings for Shannon were more than a mere crush.  First love!


Shannon: "She's so beautiful.  My first.  I wish I had a picture to capture her as she is right now..."
Carrie did not ask him to spend the night.  She was most definitely not ready to admit to her parents what she'd been up to...


Instead, she spent the remainder of her evening with Sonia.  She really does love that kitty!


Sonia: "Darn right, she does!  And she'll never love anyone more."
You're probably right about that.  A romance sim's love for her cat is more monogamous than her other loves will ever be...


Sonia: *refuses to use her pet bed, ever!*
Shannon dropped by two bunches of roses for Carrie.  Her bedroom is most definitely turning in to the bedroom of a romance sim!
