The Fennell Legacy: Generation 2: Chapter 4

[sims_by_izza]

I apologize in advance that this entry might not be up to my usual standards.  Today has been a very bad day, for reasons I would prefer to keep private, and I mostly wanted to put this update out just so I was keeping busy and not dwelling... so I'm sorry if it's not very good...
In our last episode: Bryn's ghost went on an angry rampage when he found Carrie had fallen for his arch nemesis: the local atrociously evil warlock, Carrie tried and failed to conceive about a million times and Gallagher saw his father for the first time in his life while out ice skating, but lacked the courage to introduce himself.


Awww, Carrie and Addison fell in love.  That makes him boyfriend #10, but simultaneous lover #9.  Edmund is still mad at her.


Having snagged Addison's heart, Carrie was all about cornering him in dark hallways and groping him mercilessly.  You can hardly blame the girl.  He's pretty darn cute!


Gallagher has learned to tune out his mother's shanannigans by turning MTV up loud and sitting as close as possible.  A very good idea, indeed.


Carrie wasted no time in turning her seductive charms on Tyler (who is a clone of one of my long-dead asylum challenge victims - he was the first to die!)  He may have a beak nose of doom, but Carrie isn't exactly the picky type.


Tyler counts his lucky stars to have a girl as gorgeous as Carrie interested in him.  The poor boy has no idea he's only part of a collective hoard of suitors....


Carrie still dotes on Sonia.  She may have many other claims on her heart, but Sonia remains her one true soulmate...


Carrie had no trouble adding another notch to her belt with Tyler and he became simultaneous lover #10 (but boyfriend #11 for those of you playing at home).  Regardless of her usual practice of not bothering about protection, Carrie didn't conceive.  I'm beginning to think she's broken...


Oh, Josie!  So nice to see your smiling face!
Josie: "You!  You're the one who didn't let me have 50 dream dates!  I will find a way to get out of this game and haunt you in real life.  Just you wait..."


You've doubtless already figured out from the preview picture that the Fennells experienced their first burglary.  She took their car before this lovely policewoman showed up to beat her senseless.


Sonia is adored by all, even the repairman!


... and for the first time in her long life, Sonia used her pet bed.  I almost fainted!


Spring had sprung, and Gallagher was eager to meet a lovely young girl or two.  He headed over to The Little Green Diner, but alas, no eligible bachelorettes showed up.  He did enjoy shooting some pool, though.


This is Carrie's latest friend, Tyrell #2 (okay, so she's already dating a Tyrell, but at least she'll have one less name to worry about getting right in the throes of passionate woohoo!)  This particular Tyrell, however, seems impervious to Carrie's charms...


Carrie: "Oh, don't you worry.  I'll hook him sooner or later.  You'll see."


However, Tyrell #2 would take time.  What with him rejecting her advances and often being at work, Carrie had plenty of time to study up on her favorite hobby and learn a few new recipes.


She also purchased a new car, which Gallagher wasted no time in borrowing...


His hunt for a pretty girl was on!  At the mall, he met Tamara, who he found attractive.  She was a little busy with work, though, so he kept up with his search.


At the Legacyvile Family Centre, there wasn't a single teenage girl to be seen.  He did see his mom's friend Ticky Telling being chased by a dog, though...


He saw a lot of dogs that day...


And finally, just as he was sure there weren't any pretty teenage girls out there for him, he met Bijou, who he thought was 2 lightning bolts worth of hot!
Gallagher: "You look hungry.  Can I buy you dessert?"
Smooth!  Commence short first date spam:


Bijou was an excellent listener and seemed to hang on every word Gallagher said, even when his shyness overcame him and he started mumbling inanities about the fine weather they'd been enjoying...


It's easy to see why she so enjoyed their conversation though.  That shy smile would melt any girl's heart, yes?


They later indulged in some dancing, and the friendship was firmly established.
Kor'a: "Do they have to dance right here?  I'm trying to order a meal."


By the end of the date, Bijou had developed a solid crush on Gallagher, which she had no compunctions about admitting.  Gallagher however, didn't know what to say.  He didn't share her feelings.  He thought she was pretty, and very nice, but he'd seen his mother give her heart away so many times this easily, and he was determined never to be so easily won.  He would wait and see... for now, he was exhausted and went straight home to bed...


Which was a shame, because he missed this awfully important moment.  Natasha must have sensed something, as she chose this moment to walk by the house.  The kitty she's so long ago purchased had reached the end of her days.  She was devestated!


Carrie was also devestated.  After witnessing this shared experience of grief, Carrie asked Natasha to come in and stay as long as she wanted.  It was no time to be alone.


This is Cat, and she does not understand grieving.  Or tact.  Or kindness.  Or any of those other human emotions.
Cat: "Haha, your cat died.  You're crying.  You're overweight.  You suck!"
Natasha: *bawls*
Watch yourself, Cat.  I'm not above locking you in a room until Grim shows up again.


Gallagher did not witness Cat's cruelty, but when he woke, he found her floating gracefully above the bubble blower and was instantly smitten.


Spring was definitely in the air.  Natasha and Andy (made by me) enjoyed a very special moment in the hot tub.  What they say about grief being the greatest aphrodesiac is apparently true.


Gallagher: "Did you hear that?  She says she wants me to give her a -"
Shh!  Stop it!  You're meant to be innocent! *shakes finger*


Gallagher surprised even me when he decided to adopt a new puppy that very night.  The thought of bringing Sonia back was far from his mind - I think he doesn't believe in messing with the natural order of things.  He wanted a big dog to protect from home invasions, and that night little Zara was delivered to the Fennell home.  She doesn't look like much right now, but I'm sure the family will grow to love her throughout her life.  Her more extreme qualities are doofus, independant and finicky.

Oh, no, Sonia! She was so awesome and I will miss her. *sobs*
Still, I am glad Gallagher found a nice girl and, even though he is not sure about his own feelings, they are adorable together!
And Josie is such a scary and grumpy ghost, I hope she won't decide to visit you for real! XD

bijou is such a nice girl, i hope gallagher warms to her more... he seems to think cat is equally hot, but she obviously has no nice points making fun of natasha for no reason... i'm still hoping he gets together with porcelain when he grows up, but if things with bijou escalate i'll rethink that and grow her up alongside him... i like to let my sims follow their hearts in that regard :)

A few days ago, I stumbled across your legacy and have read it since then. It's awesome and I enjoy every update :)
Poor Carrie, though...I guess there is not that much time left for a second child but that probably means Gallagher's almost certain to be heir- not that I mind- he seems to be so adorable.
Hope you're feeling better and thanks for sharing your legacy!

aww thankyou :) i'm still relatively new to posting in legacy style, and often very nervous about it since there are so many talented storytellers out there, so your comment made my day. Thankyou for reading :)
