The Fennell Legacy: Generation 1: Chapter 15

[sims_by_izza]

In our last episode: Bryn won his first dance contest and took Natasha out to lunch and Carrie was grounded after Shannon let slip that they were sexually active in front of Josie.


Bryn: "I may be out of the ratrace, but I still keep my hand in.  Juggling is an art form and I don't intend to let arthritis conquer my ability."


Carrie was still grounded, and had been given all the nastiest household chores as an added punishment.
Carrie: "Ugh, who knew Sonia pooped this much?"


Though not allowed to leave the house, Carrie was allowed to have people over, so long as they were not the notorious Shannon.  Josie was ever watchful...
Carrie: "Sorry about my mom.  Parents can be such a drag, you know?"
Humphrey: "I'm an orphan."
Carrie: "Oh... sorry..."
Yup, Josie sure was cramping Carrie's style, even when Carrie wasn't putting her foot in her mouth.


Bryn took Natasha out to lunch again.  He really misses his firstborn, and wants to make sure they never grow apart.
Bryn: "You know what I'd love?  If you and I could go on a father-daughter ski trip.  What do you say?"
Natasha: "Are you sure that's a good idea?  Carrie would be jealous if she couldn't come too..."


Humphrey: Wow, the moment I put my cutlery down Carrie is taking my plate.  She must really be a neat freak!
Carrie: *is not a neat freak and is only doing the chores she's been assigned*


Bryn has found the perfect way to ensure Carrie doesn't use her bed for anything but sleep.  It's pretty hard to woohoo when your daddy is guarding your bed...


However, since Bryn was hiding out in her bedroom and Josie was busy working on her latest bestseller, Carrie cornered Humphrey in the backyard and stripped down to the underwear he professes to require.  Sneaky little minx!


Bryn was none the wiser...
Bryn: "Aww, you're such a good kitty.." *loves on Sonia*


The next morning, Sunday, Bryn and Josie told Carrie her punishment was over (after all, she'd been grounded around 1.5 simdays, which is around 18 sim months, am I right!)  She immediately called Humphrey to ask him out on a date.
Humphrey: "I hope you don't expect me to bring you flowers or any of that lovey dovey stuff, 'cause that's not how I roll."
Carrie: "But... I bought you lobster..."
Humphrey: "Yeah, with a coupon.  Not exactly a big spender, are you?"


He only pretends to be hard to get though.  He likes her a lot.  Just look at those puppy dog eyes!
Mark: "Hello?  Natasha's sister?  I don't think we've been introduced..." *growwwl*
Carrie: *ignores*


He also lied about the flowers....
Note: I've been making an effort to decorate the neighbourhood because I know how silly it looks having emptiness all around the lot.  It's not something I've done much of before, but hopefully it doesn't look too awful.  I'm still fiddling with the area immediately around their house.


Carrie later called Humphrey and asked him out again.  It was one of those lazy afternoons of street pillow fighting, after which, they both went their seperate ways.
Note: Also, I never noticed before that when the good witch casts the sparkly spell, there's yellow glowing up to a sim's ankles.  It looks.... weird...


Carrie decided it was time to go prowling, but instead of any new teenage boys, she found Shannon.  They immediately decided the time had come for a stolen date.  Carrie had several more coupons, so she bought him dinner...


It was one meal too many for Carrie, and she put on a little extra weight.  Shannon didn't seem to mind, though.  He looks like he really missed her!  She missed him too.  She may be keeping her options open, but Shannon is the only boy she truly loves...


She later had a very close call when Shannon dropped by to leave her flowers, and she was in bed with Humphrey racking up her second belt notch.  Thankfully, Shannon didn't look in her bedroom window as he was passing, and left before the deed was really begun.  Safe this time, Carrie.  Josie and Bryn were also unaware of her bedroom guest...


Speaking of guests, Bryn invited one of his own that night.  He'd recently met Will Le Petite the Infallibly Good Warlock (try saying that ten times real fast!) and he wished to know more about the path of light.


Bryn: "C'mon, teach me your magic.  I'd give anything to be a warlock like you.  What do you want?  My magical genie lamp?  'Cause I'll trade that for powers, just say the word!"
Will: "I don't take bribes."
Bryn: This is gonna be harder than I thought...


Carrie, ever the romance sim, was very concerned about those extra pounds she was carrying.  She spent all her time before school on Monday morning trying to get back in to shape, to no avail.


Bryn once again invited Will over.  He wasn't about to give up on his newfound dream of being a warlock.  Will: *watches the children's family fun movie and almost bursts into tears!* Why don't I have a family?  Why does nobody love me?  Is being a warlock really worth this loneliness and heartache...? *sob*


Will: "Okay, you've proved to me that you're worthy.  Prepare yourself to be magicked!"
Bryn: "About darn time!  A guy could die of old age before you give up your secrets..."


Mary by chickpeagreen  showed up that evening.  She spent most of her visit enjoying bubbles, though she did take a break to watch mtv with Carrie for a few hours.


Bryn: *smug warlock smile*
Note: Bryn is my first witch/warlock ever.  Yay!


Carrie finally found another teenage boy attractive!  His name is Lazlo and he was randomly walking by her house, minding his own business, when Josie invited him in, hoping to meet somebody new.  Carrie and he had a very chaste date at home, which didn't go terribly but enjoyed none of the successes of her other dates.  Hopefully the next one will go better.  They couldn't find much to talk about, and they didn't know one another well enough to have much fun...


Carrie spent the remainder of her evening on the electro dance sphere, finally losing those extra curves she was so upset about gaining.
Bryn: *looks surprisingly evil for a good warlock*

Cameos:
Mary belongs to chickpeagreen .

1.5 sims days is 18 months...yep, that figures out about right.

I really hope Carries extra weight is from over-eating and not another cause.

I've noticed that yellow 'glow' around the ankles before, but to me, it looks like they are standing in puddles of pee. (Can I say that word? Or should I say 'lemonade'?) Anyway, it looks really weird.

haha you can say pee here - I do!
the extra weight was definitely from overeating. i don't have inteen, so my teens can't fall pregnant :)
