Night On The Town

Being new to the area he asked what they did for fun. There were few lots nearby, but they had at least one night club, The Blue Velvet, that was recently renovated by Simlicy. (Download The Blue Velvet Reno by Simlicy on the Gallery)

The four of them went there together and played some foosball while they continued to get to know one another. Summer and Fletcher made one team while Travis and Liberty made up the other.

They played several rounds before Travis and Liberty decided to call it a night. four losses in a row did not help their morale. Summer on the other hand was more than happy to keep hanging out, still excited from winning.

They took their celebrating outside. Joking around, sharing stories and just enjoying each other's company. Fletcher learned a lot about her in that time. She was working as the Head Dishwasher at Make A Dish. Her competitive nature wasn’t exclusive to foosball, as an active sim she really like to push herself. Of course there was the immediately obvious about her, she was a very cheerful sim.

At first glance she was like anyone else, but after getting to know her better Fletcher found himself starting to really like her.

She wasn’t what he had been expecting to look for in a potential partner, but it was the little things about her that made him think about her more romantically that night. Her passion, her extroverted nature and even the way she would try to hide her smile at the small flirts he threw her way.

Summer was charming and he was starting to fall.

ALIENS

Aliens are a staple of the sims games - dating back to TS2. They were brought back in TS4 thanks to it’s first expansion pack: Get To Work. While I’m happy to see them back, I feel like they could use some extra love.

ASPIRATIONS Final Frontier: This Sim wants to travel to space and learn all there is to know about Aliens. From collecting strange rocks to learning a whole new language! Reward Trait: Honorary Alien Honorary Alien: This sim knows it all! They can easily see through Alien disguises and perform their secret greetings.

Hive Mind: This Alien wants to gain followers and master their powers, reaching the top of the ranks. Reward Trait: Colony Leader Colony Leader: This Alien has climbed the ranks and can now order other Aliens to perform basic tasks such as abducting sims. CAS

Skin Tones: I would love to see them split up into the Warm, Cold & Neutral Categories. I would also love a wider range of colors: Pinks, Reds, Oranges, Yellows, Greys and Blacks. We finally got some diversity with basic sims, I’d love to see our fantasy/sci-fi sims get some of that love now too Skin Details: I think adding some patterns for them would be nice, maybe even the option of colored freckles - because who says they can’t/don’t have freckles?  Eyebrows: Has anyone ever played World of Warcraft or watch Star Trek? The Draenei and Klingons have these like ridges that I think would be cool to add as an eyebrow detail. They did a similar thing for vampires making them pop out more - or at least appear to.

Eyes: More designs and colors would be much appreciated. Eye Detail: Adding an optional third eye would also be cool. Extra Add-Ons: Horns and antennas would be another awesome add, I loved getting the hats from Journey to Batuu, but the problem is that they are just hats... Make-Up: I think having more space inspired make up would be a great start Tattoos: Either of UFOs or Pink Whales - Something! Alternatively we could get more skin patterns for them in this category. Outfits: They legit have only 2 and kills me. Both are full body suits as well. I would love if they got a few more options in more than 2/3 colors. Even just adding underwear for them would be amazing. Hair: They can have hair like other sims, but I definitely would love to see some inspired by fantasy/sci-fi characters or that look like they are inspired by space. Having more colors is another want - but that also goes to my desires for the base game so I will leave it for now.

CAREERS

Pollination Technician: Please, let my Alien sims be part of the process lol I don’t need to go to work for this one, it can be a rabbit hole, but let them get the career title and maybe even a probe to use on other sims - not just prank them with.

Test Subject: Bringing back this little option as a part-time job again would be unique to them and could be interesting for story telling POWER TREE I like some of the abilities they already have, but giving them a power tree similar to that of Vampires/Werewolves could vastly improve them. Some abilities could make it harder for sims to see through their disguises. We could get abilities to communicate with other aliens telepathically. Telekinetic abilities. I haven’t thought this one out completely, but I still feel like they could benefit from a power tree and rankings. LOT TRAITS

UFO Sightings: Sims are more likely to be abducted on these lots Extraterrestrial Experiment: This lot has some strange spores. Pregnant sims should be careful on this lot, its unkown what effects it could have on their baby. (Chance of baby being born an Alien/Hybrid)

MISCELLANEOUS  I know I want more interactions between Aliens to maybe discuss things about Sixam or Joke About Human Sims. I would love if they added a special pet on Sixam for Aliens like the Dolphin for Mermaids. Alien Fish pets would also be great. Adding another world with Alien sims living on it would be awesome. It could add a lot more alien inspired build-buy items as well. It’s kind sad that Sixam only has one lot and you can’t live on it without using Paranormal Stuff to kind of cheat it. They could even add a human sim living their among them who wears a spacesuit 24/7 and who is in the Scientist/Astronaut Career.

FEED BACK

This section will mainly be to post credits to others along with their suggestions. So what would you like to see them add to Aliens?

Life for Lewis changed a lot after he lost his job. He reconnected with his best friend, had a bit of a messy situation with her, but ultimately they worked things out. Despite her turning him down on both a relationship and partnership, he still felt like he had a bright future.

He started doing some freelance work to get himself going. On the side he worked on small robotics projects he would sell. Things seemed to be going well, he even managed to score a job as an astronaut. It was a dream come true. Once Nova had given birth to her daughter, Sawyer, he invited her and Akira out for drinks to celebrate (and maybe to butter up Akira who was not the fondest of him). 

He felt like his life had finally turned around. His freelance work had diminished, but his professional life had seen great improvements. He was able to climb the latter rather fast, though he would have to admit he used his programming skills for evil by hacking his work performance a few times. 

On the side he had managed to tinker enough to the point where he created Servo. She was one of his biggest achievements outside of his career. She kept his home in shape while he worked on another project - a rocket ship.

He had managed to get all the scraps and upgrades required for it to function. Nova gifted him her telescope before she had Sawyer, feeling as though she wouldn’t have much time to use it. He was thankful for the gift as it had helped him spot a strange planet - Sixam.

With only a dream to fuel him he worked endlessly, sometimes to the detriment of his health. Finally he finished his rocket. He used it almost immediately to go and explore the strange and far off planet.

It was unlike their home; filled with strange plants and creatures. He was so caught up in his discoveries that he had failed to notice he was being watched. Humans on Sixam was not an everyday thing. 

Lewis returned home, excited by all his discoveries - though some had died upon returning home. His story didn’t end there though. He couldn’t be an Alien Researcher without ever having contact with Aliens, now can he?

Just two nights after he had returned home with his specimens he spotted strange green lights outside his window. He went to investigate them only to find himself being abducted.

His memory upon his return was hazy at best. He knew something had happened, but he couldn’t say what exactly it was.

Months went by and he found himself feeling very ill. He went to the hospital where they performed some tests, one of which was an ultrasound. The technician didn’t believe their eyes and thought he had a tumor. Lewis knew better though.

At this point he started to panic. He had no idea what was happening or what he was going to do or how to explain it. His paranoia got to him first. He couldn’t stay in Strangerville. He packed his bags that night and left with Servo to Evergreen Harbor. He quit his job as well and went back to doing freelance work under a fake name.

He researched as much as he could, looking for a solution. Servo had been scanning him constantly and found his stress levels to be too high. She tried to calm him, but he was too frantic. During one of his episodes it finally happened, he went into labor. It was terrifying. He had no choice, he had to go to the hospital.

At the hospital he checked in as a John Doe and was rushed in to surgery. Servo came with him and tried her best to talk him through everything. The doctor performed a c-section on him at Servo’s strong request and was shocked to actually deliver a baby.

Lewis paid him off with 5000 simoleons then took the baby and ran home. It wasn’t human. For days Lewis pondered what to do. He didn’t want to be a father to a human baby, never mind an alien baby!

Eventually he came around to the idea. Servo had been the one to name him Luka and had been taking care of him while Lewis took time to recover. They made for an odd family, but when Lewis reevaluated his situation... it wasn’t so bad.

When Luka aged up he gained the ability to disguise himself. It wasn’t perfect, but it allowed Lewis to take him out and introduce him to Nova.

As of now, Lewis is still close to Nova and is friendly with Akira. The happy couple are actually expecting their second child soon. While the three of them catch up (and the guys care for Nova) Servo tends to the children. Mostly making sure Luka’s secret isn’t discovered and that Sawyer stays out of trouble (she likes to make messes... a LOT).

[simsaustories]

After graduating from university Nova didn’t have much. She could have gone home, but instead used what little money she had to move to Strangerville. She lived at Slip 42, an abandoned mobile home in a trailer park. 

She wasted no time in applying for her dream job as a Tech Guru. It was a bit of a shock to her when she got a call from none other than Lewis Sancho, her once childhood friend. Once they became young adults he had slowly become more and more of a jerk to her.

Turns out they were going to be working at the same office. Thus began her days of torment and exhaustion. It wasn’t all bad though as she met Akira Kibo, another one of her coworkers. After her first promotion he invited her out to celebrate. It was the start of a passionate relationship between them.

As she worked on side jobs, plug-ins, apps and making her own game; rumors of layoffs started to circulate. It was a stressful time for everyone. She would confide in Akira and see him often for little dates to take their minds off of work. Though they never made anything official he had become her rock.

She was working on a new game when she got a call from none other than Lewis. He had been laid off! While their relationship was less than stellar, she wasn’t heartless and invited him over so they could talk.

He apologized for the distance he caused between them and confided in her just how lost he was feeling. They had pizza and some cheap wine while reconnecting and making up for lost time. They recalled being geeky teens and messing around with her father’s equipment, often sneaking out together alone and dreaming about their great futures. 

Lewis confessed first that he had liked her for years, but didn’t want to ruin their friendship. Years of memories were buzzing in her head and the wine was doing most of the talking now. Lewis ended up staying the night and when the morning came so did the regret. Before he left to go back home she asked him to start over and to remain as just friends. He was a bit heart broken, but agreed, happy to at least have a friend again.

Nova continued to work hard and was avoiding Akira over the guilt. After he called and asked if he should go on a date with someone else she snapped out of her funk. She told him no and invited him over where she confessed to sleeping with Lewis. Akira wasn’t happy, but knew they weren’t together. His jealousy started to come out a bit, but he reigned it back in. After a lot of talking they worked through it and made their relationship official.

Lewis called her up again, this time with a plan to be indie devs together, but Nova declined. Not only had she worked tirelessly to get where she was, but she had just entered into a relationship with Akira and didn’t want to jeopardize it.

The peace was disturbed when she found out she was pregnant. It was a stressful 24 hours for the three of them. They all sighed a breath of relief as it came back that Akira was the father. 

Nova got promoted again and decided to take some maternity leave. She and Akira had a shotgun wedding and moved in together, now living in Oasis Springs. She and Lewis are back to being good friends. Things may have been rocky for a bit, but there’s nothing she and Akira are looking forward to more than the arrival of their baby girl.

She ended the scenario earning a different ending than normal. (At current I can’t remember what it was called -Solo Something  I think- But it was achieved by getting promoted and still being friends with Lewis)

Farrah Nouvel moved into San Myshuno and lived alone at 21 Chic Street, apartment 1310 in the Fashion District. Her first friend was Penny Pizzazz who lived in apartment 1312 across from her.

She quickly made friends with fellow artist, Ulrike Faust, while painting a mural at the local Casbah Art Gallery. The three went out for karaoke at the Waterside Warble Karaoke Bar where they then met and befriended Miko Ojo. Farrah later met her workout partner, Nalani at the Skye Fitness Gym. 

While throwing a party at Planet Honey Pop she met the party animal Marcus Flex. The two hit it off and Farrah was beginning to think that it was love at first sight. They hooked up a couple of times and even began dating. 

Farrah was hanging out with her friends when she suddenly felt sick and made a mess of Penny’s bathroom. There she found out she was pregnant. She went to Marcus’s place where she met his roommates and waited for him to get home. She revealed that they were going to be parents, which he wasn’t exactly excited about. She asked him to get married due to having a child together and he finally revealed that he is a non-committal sim. 

She went home sad and heart broken after they decided to call it quits on their relationship. During her second trimester she and Penny decided to live together and moved into the Hakim House Apartments in the Arts Quarter, apartment 122.

She eventually talked things out with Marcus, deciding to stay just friends and co-parent (she reassured him about the pregnancy and he ended up accepting it). Not long after, maybe just before her third trimester, Paolo Rocca started calling her up to hang out. She would see him when visiting Marcus and the two became fast friends, he would even autonomously ask to feel the baby.

Once she hit her third trimester he called her to confess his feelings, then showed up at their door to ask if she wanted to be his girlfriend. She accepted. When she went into labor Penny was the one that went with her. 

The challenge ended with a house warming party they through for everyone to meet her daughter Kyra Nouvel. She ended up getting the Instant Friends ending.

Fast forward to Kyra now being a toddler, the girls are all still as close as ever. Both Paolo and Marcus are around and help out with Kyra. Farrah still lives with her bff Penny who is Kyra’s godmother.

A Little Messed Up...

Her walk home was rather peaceful. But that peace was cut short and replaced with the shock of being pinned against the side of her home. “What the heck!? What gives?!”

It was none other than Wolfgang who, as of three weeks ago, had become her ex-boyfriend. Seeing him was like a double edged sword. She remembered how he made her happy during the hardest time in her life.

He was a distraction from everything else going on, but by the end of their relationship he had only added to her pain. Getting in fights, getting drunk, arguing with her and saying hurtful things. She tried to help him, but he pushed her away.

“Chaya! Are you even listening to me?” Wolfgang growled. He was whisper shouting at her. She snapped back to reality. “What is your problem?” “Where were you?! I talked to that Goth chic and she said you hadn’t come in for work in two days and when I dropped by you weren’t home!” He had gone off into a tangent. “Her name is Cassandra.” That’s all she managed.

“You went there didn’t you? Are you stupid? Do you have any idea how much trouble you could have been in?” He was struggling to keep his voice lowered.

Chaya started break. “What I do is none of your business!” She spat back in frustration. “Why are you here, I thought I was a nuisance and that you didn’t want to see me again?” She could feel the tears welling up in her eyes.

She didn’t think as he pulled her to meet his gaze. He kissed her and held her there. It was like electricity ran through her and it left her with butterflies. Her mind went blank as she kissed him back. For a moment it was like they had fallen back into a better time.

Wolfgang pulled a way first. “I’m sorry, about what I had said. I didn’t mean it. I never meant to hurt you, not like that.” Chaya knew he hadn’t meant it. She knew there was more to it, but it still hurt. “I get it. Really, I do. So why are you here? This is a long way from-” “Windenburg.” He exhaled deeply.

“Part of it was to just see you again.” He held her hands. They were shaky and rough from all the work she did. He frowned at them and placed a gentle kiss on her fingers. “I was scared when you weren’t showing up anywhere. I regretted everything so much.” Her heart sank. “I know you didn’t come here to get back together.”  “No, I didn’t. I still wanted to check in on you though.”

He finally let her go. I’ve been getting calls all week from some lady, that claims to have known your father. She couldn’t come all the way out here so she tacked me down and gave me a package and letter to give to you.” “What?” It was a bit to process.

He nodded towards her door. “I left it all inside. I was just about to go look for you, but...” She didn’t know what to say anymore.

As he walked off Chaya couldn’t help feeling like this was the last time she would see him. “Take care Chaya. Try not to get yourself into trouble.” She smiled and rubbed her neck. “Right. Same to you.”

[simsaustories]

Don’t Want To Let You Go

She needed air. Stepping outside she took a deep breath, the dusty warm air filled her lungs. She took a few breaths just taking her time with eyes shut tight. When she finally opened her eyes, there it was off in the distance. 

As a child she wanted to visit him there all the time. Since he passed she hadn’t even been able to bring herself to look at it. A sense of guilt came over her. “You were so excited...”

Before she knew it she had made her way there. Nearly talking herself out of going in until she saw the break in the fence. She remembered seeing it the day after the storm when they found her father. They hadn’t bothered to clean anything up. Everything seemed to be left the way it was when the storm hit.

She couldn’t believe herself. “What am I doing here? They said it wasn’t safe for civilians.” Despite trying to talk herself out of it she just couldn’t. “Maybe... this could be one last adventure?” The thought was intimidating and exciting. She looked around, the coast was clear. “I’ll just be real quick. No one will notice.”

It was a mess. Papers and files scattered all over. Whatever happened in there, it was clear everyone was in a rush. She shivered with unease. “So this is your lab? I’m sure it looked better cleaned up...”

She walked through the rooms, disturbing the dust with every step she took. The only sound she could hear was the muffled click clack of her boots. She absent mindedly looked through some books, picking them up and putting them back after a few glances. Then she came across a secured door.

“Where do you lead?”

She looked it over and noticed it took a keycard. “I wonder if there’s one still lying around here?” The thought of seeing whatever was behind it, that maybe whatever her father wanted to show her was behind those door still.

She felt excited for the first time in a while. Wondering around and going through whatever she could. If she could just find a way to open the door she could...

After an hour of searching and sifting she still hadn’t found it. She had found many documents he had written, though none of it made much sense to her. She just wanted to feel closer to him. To feel like they were on one last adventure together. “I guess that’s it, huh? Some adventure that was...”

It took everything in her not to cry. She felt like a fool.

It was somewhat comforting being in there, the place he worked. His second love after her. 

She couldn’t sit around there all day though and eventually had to force herself up. “I really wish you were still here.”

Cowgirls Don’t Cry

Stranger Ville had once been a place of wonder for Chaya. She had always loved her curious little town and its quirky residents. What she loved most was how her father saw it. Boulders became mountains for them to conquer, lizards became dragons they would tame... with him everything was wonderful and full of life. 

It didn’t matter how old she got, he always found a way to turn each day into it’s own exciting adventure. They had little money and Chaya had always dreamed of traveling, going on as many adventures as she could, just like the cowboys would in all of her bed time stories. He was the best father to her, despite her mother walking out on them. He was all she had, until two years ago.

Chaya lifted her tired head. Thinking about how much time had passed since he passed away. The days felt longer and colder even under the blazing sun. She lost him after a freak storm had passed through. Not long after she lost their home too. All the wonder and love had left her, but she was still alive and had to keep surviving. Life waits for no one and she didn’t wait either. She picked herself up and managed to get a part-time job. After seven months, a lot of favors and deal hunting she was able to get a trailer. 

Life wasn’t easy, it never was, but she was thankful to have made it this far. She couldn’t imagine herself surviving without him, but somehow she has managed. 

A heavy sigh escaped her. “I miss you Daddy. I’m so tired, I don’t know how I’m going to keep this up.” Chaya frowned as she looked at his urn. “I dropped out of school... I know I said I wouldn’t, but I gotta work if we’re gonna stay here.”

She let the silence sink in. Her thoughts replaying their little adventures. All of it pulled at her heart, but she couldn’t cry anymore. Her eyes fell, taking her further from reality, back to the storm that took him from her. 

“We never got to go on our adventure that day did we?” She remembered being excited that whole week. He was going to bring her to the lab and show her all of the amazing things they had been working on. A smile tried to creep its way upon her lips. “You were so excited to show me your big secret.” Her frown came back. “It’s still closed. I don’t think they are ever going to open it back up.”

Is This Too Fast?

It was around 10pm when he woke up. The time had flown by while they were resting. He carefully sat up, pulling her with him. “Hey, sleepyhead, you gotta wake up.” He whispered to her, trying not to startle her.

She was slow to awake, but eventually lifted her head up from his chest. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to fall asleep on you like that. Guess picking up those extra shifts were taking more of a toll than I thought.” She smiled, trying her best to hide her embarrassment.

“It’s fine, really. I know what it’s like to work without much sleep. Glad I could help you out, even if it was as your pillow.” He cupped her cheek and smiled reassuringly at her. Before anything else could happen he moved her off his lap and offered to help her up. “Shall we?”

Summer looked up at him with disappointment for the second time that night. “Yeah.”

He listened to her talk as they exited the park, but couldn’t shake his own thoughts away. He grabbed her hand, stopping her in her tracks. “Hey, about earlier, I meant it. If things are too much there you can always crash with me. At least until you find something else to your liking.”

Without missing a beat she chuckled to herself. “What if I already found something to my liking?” 

“Wha-” It was so sudden it caught him off guard. Before he knew it her lips were pressed up against his.

When she pulled away he was still a bit dazed. “Summer?”

“Oh my watcher! I’m so sorry! That was uncalled for wasn’t it? I just thought...” She started to back away feeling mortified that she had read him wrong.

“I’m not mad. I like you, but doesn’t this seem kind of fast?” He held her in place and tried to be as direct as possible. He didn’t want her getting the wrong idea and end up not talking to her again.

Relief found her quickly. “You like me?” She repeated his words, looking for confirmation.

“Yes, I like you.” He smiled as she relaxed,

She bit her lip, trying to sort out her thoughts and feelings. “I... I like you too.” She could feel her cheeks getting hot. 

“Not that I’m opposed to this, but aren’t you moving too fast?” He repeated himself, trying to get her focus back.

“Maybe... What if we don’t label this for now? See where things go? I could stay where I am for now and if...” She started stumbling over her own words.

He leaned down and kissed her. “Alright.”

“Alright?” She looked back at him, taking her turn at being dazed.

“Alright.” He echoed and kissed her again, this time with her arms finding their way around him to deepen the kiss.

Couches

As they began heading out it was getting noticeably darker and cooler. While almost everyone had gone home already there were still a few hanging around. 

It was very subtle, but he caught her shivering. Without thinking he reached forward and took her hand in his. He pulled her to his side as they walked, not letting go as he put his arm over her shoulder. “Maybe we should warm up here for a bit before we leave. It’s a long walk home and you’re freezing.”

“Good idea.” She agreed, her teeth chattering from the cold ever so slightly.

Inside Summer reclined on a couch. Fletcher plopped down on the floor beside her and they talked about everything and nothing.

“You know, for someone who doesn’t like couches, you have decidedly taken up the whole thing.” He remarked and earned himself a light hearted slap to the back of the head.

“You really aren’t going to let that go are you?” She turned on to her side.

“Admit it, couches are exceptionably comfy and you would be honored to sleep on my couch.” He retorted and struggled to keep a straight face.

“In no world is a couch more comfortable than a bed.” She laughed as he held her hand absent mindedly rubbing circles over the back of it with his thumb. 

“Then why are you hogging the couch?” He finally cracked and laughed.

“You are ridiculous, there are two other couches in here.” She snorted again at his strange sense of humor. 

He reached up and booped her on the nose. “I may be ridiculous, but you are still hogging the couch, now move over, the floor is hurting my butt.”

She broke into a giggle fit as he forcibly moved her and sat down, only for her to throw her legs across him. “I said I wanted to sit on the couch, not become part of it for you to lounge on.” He raised a brow at her.

She stuck her tongue out at him. “You complain too much. First you want me to appreciate couches, then you want me to move and now I can’t even sit on one? Unbelievable!” She laughed and leaned her head on him. 

It was only for a moment, but that was enough. “This is nice.” She yawned as she let his warmth envelope her. “Hey, were you being serious before? About crashing at your place?”

His heart was beating like crazy as she snuggled into the nape of his neck. “Of course, if you need a place to stay you can-” He didn’t get to finish before the sound of her light snoring reached his ears. He laid down with her, securing her in place with arms.

He hadn’t planned on having a roommate, but he figured if it were her... maybe he wouldn’t mind it. He made a mental note to talk to her about it more later. For now he let himself relax with her on the couch.

Small Talks

He met her by the entrance to the park. While he may have hesitated, she certainly did not waste any time in pulling him into an embrace.

“Hey! It’s good to see you!” Summer smiled as she tightened her arms around him for just a moment.

Fletcher smiled. “It’s good to see you too.”

He lead her to a nearby bench where they sat down and started to catch up. At first they joked around about work and just little things that happened throughout the week.

It wasn’t all fun and games though, eventually they found themselves at the topic of last week. Summer apologized again for the awkward encounter, but Fletcher waved it off.

“I told you, it’s fine. I’ve actually been wondering how you were holding up. I figured I should give you space after that though.” He tried to reassure her that things were okay between them.

Summer smiled. “Thank you. I’m doing better now. I kind of caught them again the morning after, but there was no hiding from that one.” She laughed uncomfortably. “I’ll spare you the details and just say we all had a talk after that. Things are okay now, insanely awkward, but okay. They were sneaking around because they were afraid to hurt my feelings apparently.”

“You’re really taking things well.” He commended her. She scoffed. “As well as anyone can when they are stuck living with them still.”

Fletcher pulled her close, resting his hand on her shoulder. “Hey if you need a place to crash I have a rather nice couch.” 

“Oh, a couch! Just what every girl wants to be offered!” She joked back with him.

“Hey, I’ll have you know that couch was my first bed in university. It got me through some rough times.”

Summer snorted. “You’re so weird, you know that?”

He pretended to be hurt by her words as she giggled. “You wound me! I’m just trying to be kind to a pretty lady and this is how I’m treated?”  They joked around like that until they found themselves inches apart.

Fletcher cleared his throat and removed his arm from around her. “You know it’s getting a little cold out here, why don’t we head inside for a bit?”

She smiled a bit disappointedly at that. “Sure. Lead the way.”

Fresh Air

Maybe a week had passed with little contact between them all. Thankfully the weather had started to clear up from it’s normal autumn rain. Fletcher decided to take advantage of this rare time and go for a jog on his day off.

Passing their house always felt a bit awkward. Now and then he would run into one of them on the way to work, but today it seemed like that wasn’t going to happen. Part of him was relieved he didn’t have to pretend like everything was fine and another part of him felt a bit anxious, wondering how Summer was doing.

He pushed his thoughts away and continued on his jog. It brought him to Magnolia Blossom, the local park. He met several of the other townies, much to the dismay of his loner trait. After a while the park started to clear out due to the cold leaving him alone once more.

He was messing around at the basketball court when he got an unexpected text from Summer. She was free for the day and wanted to hangout. He hesitated, but gave her his location.

Messy Romance

Maybe if he hadn’t walked her home that night things wouldn’t have been so complicated. As a cop he felt obligated to, it’s never a good idea to let someone walk home alone, no matter the distance. It’s a choice he will always stand by, even if it lead to finding out more than he wanted.

As he walked her to the door they heard laughter that halted their own. Summer turned away almost immediately. 

“Is that Travis? And Liberty?” Fletcher could just barely make them out, but it was indeed them. “Summer?” It was slowly starting to click in his head what was going on.

“Can we just wait here a moment?” She pleaded and he relented. “I’m sorry this is totally awkward isn’t it?” She hung her head, trying not to cry.

Fletcher pulled her in, trying to be supportive. “I mean, yeah, a little. It’s fine though.” He didn’t really know what to say in this situation. “Were you and he...”

Summer let a dry laugh escape her lips. “No! No, not at all. I mean, I liked him for years, but we never... Libby knew that though. We agreed neither of us would say anything though. Keep the peace and all that.” She let another dry laugh escape her lips, tears starting to wet his shoulder.

He held her until she was calmed down, keeping a watch on them from their spot on the porch. “I think the coast is clear now.”

Before he left she had asked him not to say anything. She didn’t want to cause trouble. Turns out Travis and Liberty have been sneaking around her back for a while. She caught them about a week ago and just didn’t have the courage to face them, to face Liberty.

Fletcher had only just moved in and already he found himself in a messy situation. Travis and Liberty seemed like nice enough people, Summer was sweet, but that whole situation...

“What have I gotten myself into?”

It was going to be a long night.

Meet The Neighbors

Fletcher was struggling to settle in and decided to bake some cookies to help calm his nerves. His baking skill is level 3 so they came out well.

Just as he finished decorating he heard a knock at the front door. The welcome wagon had arrived.

He invited them in and offered up his freshly made cookies (before anyone could shove their nasty fruitcake down his throat).

It was the BFF household, his new neighbors. Travis, Liberty and Summer had moved in together not long before Fletcher had moved in himself. Turns out they were all friends in college and figured it would be cheaper to live together while they start in their careers.

Moving In

Story mode decided his life for him. A randomizer chose everything else. His name is Fletcher Speer. He is a young adult working in the detective career as a Corporal. His only skills as of yet are in baking and logic.

His story is only just beginning as he moves into the world of Willow Creek. He’s starting off in Autumn, the season of sweaters, warm colors and cozy feelings. His aspiration is to become a Party Animal, but on a short life span is that even possible?
