It didn't seem to matter how long they were married, or how the weather was; the romance never died: That one's definitely a UFO. Why gaze at the stars when you could make up conspiracy theories?
I think you're right. Definitely a UFO, Aino answered: If we keep looking we'll soon see the government jets following them.
Maybe they were isolating themselves a bit to much from the world, but they were social once in a while with other sims atleast. And it probably was an airplane, but it would've been funnier with a UFO.
Next thing on his list was to give Hades some cuddles. They had adopted away Satan to his brother.
Fudge also got some needed attention. On a general basis the animals were good at entertaining eachother, and they were bestfriends. But sometimes that extra attention from their favourite sim did the trick. Even if Aino wanted more cats, she didn't think she could handle more of the deaths; cats lived to short for her liking.
Irena often did her best to get up early in the morning to spend some time on the water. As cold as it still was, atleast it wasn't snowing anymore. So if she fell in, she wouldn't cramp up in minutes and drown. But hey, if she did fall in, maybe she'd be saved by a hot merman. Not that she'd cheat on Larry ofcourse, even if it pissed her off that he was difficult to get a hold of. But he'd promised he'd meet her today, so maybe he'd keep it this time.
Aino and Daniel both worked in the weekends, so they decided that the older kids should take the twins with them to the fair. Since both Irena and Niko were very responsible, they left them to do whatever they wanted without any supervision. They were probably big enough not to be chaperoned all the time. Truth be told, their mum was a bit obsessed with knowing where they were at all times. But she was slowling softening up on that a bit.
Neither of the twins were bothered by it, as their older sibling were either angry over nothing, or creepily nice. As much as Neda enjoyed spending time with Dragan, she thought he could do something else than egghunting when she was doing the same thing. He always found more eggs than her, and that was so unfair!
As usual, some old fart ended up finding the prize- egg, leaving all the children disappointed and feeling tricked. The twins played a game of tag to run off their disappointment, though Neda was slightly worried that she'd start smelling all sweaty.
Surprisingly Larry showed up for once, and Irena was thrilled. She kind of wanted to yell at him, but that would make her seem like a bad girlfriend; and she wanted everyone to think she was a good girlfriend.
Instead she ignored Larry when he complained that he was about to starve to death; he was such a dramaking. She wanted to try the loveoracle, and it was so typical that he kept pretending just to avoid beeing a tad romantic. This was the least thing he could do for standing her up; which she made sure to mention as often as possible.
Naturally they were a hot match. All thanks to Irena, as she alone raised the temperature to unnatural heights.
May I please have something to eat now, Larry tried asking his girlfriend again; he was a bit scared of her.
Mmmmm... Okay! Looking around, Irena hoped someone noticed how cute they were togetherm but no one seemed to care. How could they be more interested in their own partners, than in looking at her?
Niko and Jack played a game of horseshoe together for a while. It was always nice when he showed up, and they were such good friends.
Niko was such a good friend, that he soon dumped his cousin for someone a lot more interesting. He knew her from school, even if he'd never spoken to her before, but he still felt a deeper connection with Iman. Maybe it was from an earlier life? Or maybe it as just faith!
Dragan masterfully imitated how Niko looked when talking to girls. He'd never forgive him for beeing so dumb, that he didn't understand that a childs shirt wasn't a perfect depiction of dinosaurs.
I'm Niko, he said: I'm stupid and think a kiddsshirt tells how real dinosaurs looked!
Neda was so impressed at her brothers skills, and could only dream of beeing that good: Woooow, you look just like him.
Niko was really having an amazing time at the fair. He'd never danced with a girl in his life! Think about it, he'd never been this close to a girl either. When Larry and Irena joined them, he barely even noticed. He was to busy beeing infactuated with the lovely girl. This had to be faith of sort, as he already felt butterflies in his belly. Wonder if she noticed how sweaty his palms were?
In an attempt at irritating their older sibling, Neda and Dragan also joined in the dancing. But they barely even noticed them. They were to busy staring at their dancepartners and grinning like idiots. Neda had no idea why they did that. Boys and girls were supposed to play together, not dancing. And especially not whilst grinning and having their hands waaaay to close to eachothers butts!
Soon everyone else at the fair also joined in the dancing; children, teens, adult, elderly and even dogs! As it turned out, you could actually get an award for it. When the smustle- lady promised the judges cake if she won the springdance-queen title, all the girls knew they were going to loose. Who would say no to cake? Niko became springdance- king. Probably because he was such a good sport; getting his feet trampled on constantly. Why wasn't he yelling at her?
Neda really wanted one of her older siblings to notice how pretty her facepaint was. And finally Niko looked at her, and told her it was very pretty. It was nice that he finally was beeing his old, nice self; even if it just was for a short time. He should dance with girls more often. Maybe boys dancing and grinning at girls weren't all bad after all.
Eventually both Dragan and Neda got bored of dancing, so they decided to play some football instead. Mum had bought them matching sneakers. Because they were twins, and everyone knew that twins had to have atleast some matching clothes.
And when Dragan was hungry, so was Neda. And when he bought a foam bunny, so did his sister. You know, since they were twins. And twins were supposed to be similar, because she'd seen that on tv! And they were supposed to have a secret twin- bond, but she'd never noticed anything between her and Dragan. She still said they had it when anyone asked.
Aino and Daniel had finished work. As the great parents they were, they had no intention of meeting their kids at the fair. It was just good for them and the children not to be around eachother all the time.
The artbusiness is fine! Aino answered irritably: Can you please stop asking about it?
Sure.
The day was coming to an end, and Larry was definitely forgiven. Even if Irena was the one that had initiated everything, and kept him entertained. But that was probably normal; she loooved taking care of everything and keeping a boy entertained! She wasn't lying to herself at all!
Wow, Niko had never hugged a girl before; she was really soft. He was so lucky- this had to be destiny. He'd never talked to Iman before, yet they were already hugging like this. Niko also got the opportunity to descreetly wipe the sweat from his palm on her clothes. Not that he'd usually do anything like that, but he was desperate!
And she even wanted to watch the stars with him. Wonder if she'd be okay with....
Niko carefully put his hands over hers as they sat on the ground. And she didn't tense up, or pull it away. It worked! Good thing it was dark outside, because he was blushing pretty heavily right now. Yes, this was definitely some higher destiny working here; they were perfect for eachother.
As soon as they got home, the redheaded little brat sprang into action. He'd waited for this the entire day: Dad! Dad! Irena has a boyfriend! She danced with him and I saw them kiss!
Daniel was pretty sure his heart stopped for a second. His little baby was dating, and she hadn't even told him? Why was she keeping secrets from him?
His worries soon disappeared though: It's... It's Larry! Irenas dating Larry! Dragan blurted it out whilst laughing. Daniel tried not to laugh to loudly though. Nothing to worry about then. He was a cranky sourfaced brat, Irena would tire of him soon enough.
As soon as dad turned around to "talk" to Irena about it, Dragan stuck his tounge out to her. That was for beeing mean to his sister and saying she didn't have friends! His revenge was complete! Stupid older siblings always assumed he wouldn't do anything.
Daniel decided to follow his best judgment: Hey honey!
Irena did her best to stay away from rolling her eyes. She could already tell that her lame dad was going to try beeing funny.
So you're dating Larry are you? Dad didn't have to keep cracking up when he said it: you know you can get someone better than him, right?
How could dad say that? Larry was perfect! Even if he didn't treat her like a queen.
Dad interrupted her: Larry gets seasick honey
So what? She didn't care if he got ill, she didn't notice that: Then he'll take some pills. Oh dad, you don't know how it is beeing in love! She grabbed her chest to add to the feels of it all. That, and the thought of potentially cleaning up sick after Larry made her almost doubting their true love- he could clean it up himself.
..Right... It wasn't that he had that big of a problem with her dating, it was just an uncomfortable reminder that she was growing up and would leave. But come on. Larry? Really?
It's true dad. I love Larry, and I'm going to marry him!
Seems legit
Dad, stop it! It's true! There's nothing you can say that will change my mind!! He just gave her that stupid "either worried or smug" grin he always put up. But she made sure to glare daggers at Dragan. She didn't care that he tried to hide behind dad. He was so dead!
Niko on his hand could feel Nedas dark eyes staring holes in his neck. What had he done? He hadn't done anything to her, atleast nothing to feel guilty about. He was innocence incarnated, Irena was the mean one.
Did you have fun at the fair? Aino was all focused on her youngest daughter.
Yes mum, she kept staring at Niko: But Niko was soooo busy that he didn't play with me. He was all to busy dancing with some girl.
Aino squeeled, her little baby had danced all day with a girl: Really?!
I think she's his girlfriend mum! They danced and danced and danced and danced, staring into eachothers eyes and smiling all the time! That was for talking poop to Dragan about dinosaurs!!! Now Niko could handle mums interrogation! Hah!
Niko was going to stuff Neda into her toybox when he got his hands on her, that little brat. How coulds he do this him? Mum was a sucker for everything that was romantic and gooey. She'd never leave him alone now!
Honey, do you have a girlfriend? Did my little baby get a girlfriend? Did you kiss?
Muuuum! Stop it! He whined: She's not my gilfriend, we just danced and stuff. Neda was so dead
I mean, I go to school with her, but I haven't really talked to her before. But when I saw her, it was like I've always known her. Niko was sure it was meant to be: It's like it's faith. Yeah, it was faith that brought us together mum. We're going to be together for ever. He was meant to marry her, Niko just knew it. Yes, even if he'd just talked to her for the first time ever.
Maybe her son had inherited her feel for the romantic things in life: What's her name?
Iman, her name's Iman. And it was the most beautiful name he'd ever heard: And we're meant for eachother
Why was mum laughing?
Niko, you used to play with Iman all the time when you were little. You "feel" you know her because you do know her. Where had he learned about love and faith? There was no such thing. Even Aino didn't believe in that.
Why was mum ruining all the magic about him and Iman? That was so unfair.
You stopped playing with her because she' was an aweful and meanspirited little brat. She was really mean to you all the time.
This couldn't be true, she had to be joking: I... what? She's meanspirited?
She was aweful to you yes. Horrible little girl. It won't last. Which was good, Aino wasn't interested in her son marrying the first girl he met. Especially when she was that little bully Iman; aweful little girl.
Mum! I love Iman! Old sims just didn't understand anything about how it was beeing a teenager in love.
No you don't. She's terrible.
And then, Niko actually started talking about him and Iman getting married! Aino laughed again, kids were so cute thinking that childhood crushes usually lasted.
Iman? Isn't that that aweful little girl that used to punch Niko and bullied him all the time?
Yeah, that's her alright. Even talking to her parents hadn't worked, because they were almost equally aweful.
And Irena and Larry? That kid is a useless sourpuss. If she marries him, I'll throw him in the nearest dumpster myself. Daniel tried not to laugh about it, mainly because their daughter would never survive a life with Larry. Vice versa was probably true to, but he didn't care what happened to Larry.
But what if they... I mean, Larry and Iman...Iman? Thinking about Iman as a daughter in law was enough to send shivers down her spine.
They won't gorgeous.
The thought of having Larry as a son in law was also to brutal: But....
They won't get married gorgous. They are just kids. Atleast he hoped so.
Aino calmed down and crawled nearer her husband. I know, I just worry about them. They are growing up so fast. Unlike a lot of sims, she didn't mind getting older, but why did the kids have to?
That was the problem with kids, they grew up to fast yet not nearly fast enough. strange that.
--------------------------------------------------
I know it's getting a bit thin and descriptive, but I've gotten a bit further in game than here. So just trying to move it along a bit.
Also, you haven't seen Iman before, because she's a bit older than Niko and I forgot all about her. But no he wants to date her none the less.
Thanks for reading
