The Continuing Quest For A Spouse
‘I can’t believe she was only a teenager!’ our Founder cried. ‘She seems so much older.’
He lamented over this fact for several minutes.
Food helped to ease his pain.
‘And then she turns to me and says “You know I’m only sixteen, right?” and I was like “What!”‘ cried Connor to the lady who chose to sit beside him.
‘Nobody cares,’ she replied, regretting her decision to sit down. ‘Just move on already.’
Luckily, that night, Connor was invited to a dance party at a nearby mansion. Despite feeling like he would rather stay home and cry under his duvet, he made the effort to make an appearance.
It was there that he first met Jade Rosa. A very viable potential spouse in the eyes of this narrator.
A dance party was the opportunity he had been waiting for. His dance machine skills were finally being put to the test. It required a great deal of concentration though.
Not a single sim paid any attention to his dancing though.
Dance Machine Level: Failbot.
After a long night of dancing like no one was watching – because they weren’t – Connor retreated back home to hone his skills some more before heading to work.
One quiet afternoon, Connor decided to head to the library to work on his next book. It had been a while since his first one and he wanted more than a measly $6 every day for his royalties.
It was the highlight of his week when Yuki invited him to a Singles Night at a local bar. Unfortunately, it was when they arrived that he remembered… she’s still a TEEN. He promptly stopped smiling like a creeper at her and she immediately left him alone at the bar.
The only sim inside the entire place – other than the bartender – was Gloria. She seemed like a nice enough sim, but always had that… vacant look about her. Connor gave up trying to make polite conversation almost immediately and returned home.
After a few more promotions, Connor’s work gifted him with his own computer, which saved many hours of travelling to and from the library.
On another night out, Connor found himself with a very strange foosball companion…
…in fact, the whole bar was a bit too strange for him.
Connor was not overly impressed when Jade dropped by one evening. This narrator did not care. Time is marching on and babies do not make themselves!
Unfortunately for this narrator, Jade did not seem as into this union as I was.
The following morning, Connor received an unexpected, and sad, guest.
‘Yuki? Are you alright? What’s got you down?’ Connor asked, caring as always.
‘A dance off will make you feel better!’ Connor announced, promptly moving into his signature dance.
’Wait… what?’ a surprised Yuki asked.
‘Come on! Get your groove on, chase those blues away!’
This narrator is cringing on behalf of everyone.
A stunned Yuki didn’t know what to do. Neither did this narrator. Hopefully Connor will have snapped out of his dance fever by next time.
