#ub: nina caliente

As Nina left the building, she almost cursed herself. Mortimer Goth was walking down the road. She pretended she didn't see him, but Mortimer was no fool.

Mortimer: Ah, Nina, paying your neighbor a visit? Nina: Uhm, yeah, Don... Don asked me to help him with the decorations for tomorrow. You know, men. Oh, excuse me, you are one yourself. Mortimer: Well, are you on your way home now? Nina: Yes, I could use a shower after all this decorating. Mortimer: But don't you live right next to Don, on the other side?

Don had overheard the conversation through an open window and hurried outside.

Don: Mortimer! What a nice surprise! Can I help you? Mortimer: Oh, I just wanted to see how the wedding preparations are going. Cassandra said you were really busy when I asked her why you didn't come over the last weeks. Don: Yes, work has been crazy. I also wanted to give Cassandra some room. I know she's going through a hard time currently. Mortimer: I don't know what you're talking about. Can I see the decorations then?

Meanwhile, Nina feels that she needs her independence. She is moving out to her own apartment in Downtown.

But Don was a simple, even stupid man and when he saw Nina walking by, he ran downstairs to hold her tight. He didn't care that the sun was still out or that his maid had just arrived. Samantha was tactful and wouldn't tell anybody. He dragged Nina inside and they made out.

Don: Nina, this really has to be our last time. I'm getting married tomorrow. Nina: That's your own fault. I always told you your no marriage material, Lothario. I hope you'll be happy with the Goth-Lady but I doubt it. I know you're into the shy, mysterious type, but I also know you easily get bored of your chicks. Don: You know me so well, Neens. Well, I hope I see you tomorrow. You are the bride's step-aunt, at least. Nina: I'm the groom's best friend. That should be enough for me to show up. Don: I'll see you then.

But one evening he was at home and the itch to pick up the phone and call his favorite girl was overbearing. One last woohoo, they both needed that closure, didn't they?

Nina picked up the phone after the second ring. It was already late but she wasn't surprised by his call. She was over in under five minutes. Five more minutes to get undressed. A last hour in heaven, a last hour in her arms.

Goodbye, neighbor, Nina said as she left past midnight and Don went upstairs to fall into his bed.

Mortimer: Open up, Sweetheart, watch the birdie!

Mortimer stuffed half a piece of cake into Dina's mouth. She gulped and giggled, loving the sweet taste of buttercream and tropical fruits.

Dina: Watcher, Morty, what about keeping my posture! I thought I'm a goth now? Mortimer: You are, but even Goths like to have fun at times!

Congrats to the newly married couple, Mr. and Mrs. Mortimer Goth.

[tamtam-go92]

At least Mortimer seemed genuinely happy as he told his vows. Indeed, Dina had been the only person that made him smile like this after Bella's disappearance.

[tamtam-go92]

Cassandra had practiced her fake smile all week and froze it on her face as she went downstairs in her formal dress. She was sad, that her best friend Mary-Sue couldn't be with her tonight, instead only her horrible husband Daniel had come. For her own mental support she had asked Lazlo Curios over, with who she had worked on a project L together. While he worked at Stranger Labs in Strangetown, she enjoyed working with him, since he knew so much about alien abductions.

Cassandra watched Dina overact the same way she did when she married her uncle Michael at the whooping age of 19 years. She only hoped, her father knew what he was getting himself into...

[tamtam-go92]

Mortimer: Posture, Dear, you'll be a Goth in a few minutes.

[tamtam-go92]

Mortimer: You're getting better, Nina! You really did practice since our last meeting.

Dina: Last meeting? You two meet to play chess?

Nina: Yeah, occasionally.

Dina: Well, you should better get changed. The ceremony starts soon.

[tamtam-go92]

To everybody's surprise, Alexander turned into quite the social butterfly and after friend No. 1 he soon found another friend in Xander Roth (maybe they found it funny, that their names were so similar).

Nina: Oh, careful, young man! Alexander: Ah, Miss Nina, can I help you? Nina: Is your old man at home, I need to talk to him. Alexander: Sure, he should be in the backyard doing his beloved gardening. Want to come in with me?

Alexander: She'll be my new step-aunt or something. My sister says Daddy is "sick" for marrying auntie Dina, but he seems pretty normal to me... Xander: Wow, your family is so much more complicated than mine... I only got aunt Betty. Alexander: Yeah, my mother was abducted by aliens and died three years ago. Xander: She died? I never heard this could happen. My dad really wants to meet aliens! Alexander: It's really rare, it's the only known case so far. Their ship crashed near Strangetown. It was an accident. I suppose abductions otherwise are pretty save. But you know that you'll get an alien-sibling when your dad meets aliens? Xander: I know! Wouldn't that be super cool? Alexander: I don't know... I like being the youngest... Nina: Just ignore me kids, I'll just wait for Mortimer to finish petting his plants...

[tamtam-go92]

Mortimer was really happy with how the evening went. He wouldn't tell Cassandra that Don was friends with the Calientes though. That was something he had to tell her gently himself.

Now he only had to tell them, how auntie Dina would soon become step-mom Dina... But that was a task for another day!

[tamtam-go92]

Consort Capp: Look at the great Dr. Goth, making a fool out of himself courting a woman half his age.

Nina *lowly*: I can't believe it. I knew Dina wanted this but I... I just don't get it. Don *lowly*: Ah come on, Neens, they're kinda cute, aren't they? Nina: Don't call me like that anymore, Lothario. I know we agreed on staying friends, but only special friends can call me like that. Don: Ssh, not so loud! Nina: Oh, those love birds are much to into their own world. They don't even notice we're here.

[tamtam-go92]

Mortimer: Before our dinner arrives, may I have your attention please? Dina, I thought we'd be alone tonight but that doesn't matter now. I fact I'm happy that those closest to you can be with us at this moment. Nina *quietly muttering*: He's gonna propose, ain't he? Please don't propose...

He placed a black casket on the table.

Mortimer: Dina Caliente, you've helped me though the hardest part of my life, and all that while going through your hardest part of your life too. Maybe we've helped each other, but for me you've created enough strength for the both us. I'll forever be grateful for this. I know, I'm an old man compared to you, but I'll make sure to make you happy for all the days that are left for me and I'll give you everything you dream about. Please do me the exceptional favor of becoming my wife. Nina *muttering*: He really freaking did it!

Dina: Oh my watcher, Mortimer. How beautiful. How unsuspected! If I knew what you were planning... Watcher, of course I do! I'm the luckiest woman in Sim City!

[tamtam-go92]

Mortimer noticed the glances Nina threw over to Don, who was eager to talk about nothing but Cassandra. Cassandra brought a new dress the other day. I managed to beat Cassandra at chess last week. The planning of our wedding goes well. Mortimer almost felt like the young man wanted to prove something to him...

[tamtam-go92]

He was mildly surprised to say alt least, that Dina took her sister Nina with her and of all the Sims out there - Don Lothario. At the cap they quickly explained, that they've been friend since High School, they all lived in Oasis Springs pre-graduation.

After nagging him during the whole ride, Mortimer took some silly pictures with Dina and gave them to her. She loved doing cheesy stuff like that and Mortimer thought it was cute.
