Emerald Valley #2: Spring's Summer.
I set up the Emerson-Trujillo household then went back to check on Spring. She had made a good enough friend of Gustavo Jolly to ask him to be her roommate. I gave them separate apartments and locked the doors so they wouldn't invade each other's privacy. There are some common areas where they can hang out - the apartment's work-out room, and the laundry room which now has only dryers since Corrine Brunette burgled the washing machines.
Spring is getting pretty stressed out, feeling the pressure of trying to be something she's not. She isn't doing well at school even though she tries because she isn't a witch and it's hard to stay ahead when she doesn't have any magical powers. She is also still a toad from her first attempt at alchemy backfiring, which doesn't help matters any.
She wanted to go to the park and play her guitar for a bit to help with the stress. As she was getting in her car, Gustavo ran up and go in the the car too. I guess he wanted to go to the park as well. When they got there, the hearts were circling their heads, indicating they were on a date though to my knowledge neither of them asked the other out. Maybe it happened while they were in the car.
One thing led to another at the park, and Spring had the option to ask Gustavo for a "toad kiss." Gustavo seemed a little freaked out about it to start with . . .
He was certainly not going to kiss her on the lips!
But he did work up the nerve to kiss her on the cheek, which was enough to start the transformation.
Spring was so happy, she gave Gustavo a great big hug and a kiss on the lips!
The evening ended with some tree-house woohoo before returning home.
As it's still early in their relationship, they are keeping separate living quarters, though I unlocked the doors (They gave each other keys to their apartments.) Both woke up hungry. Gustavo started making waffles in his apartment while Spring made pancakes in hers. Then for some inexplicable reason, Gustavo, whom I don't control, put his waffles in the oven and walked away! He went to Spring's apartment and started watching TV. It wasn't long before a fire stared in his apartment, sending both sims running over there.
I prompted Spring to put the fire out, but she struggled with the extinguisher. Gustavo, meanwhile was no help at all! With the fire out, Spring returned to her apartment just in time to watch her pancakes that she left on the stove erupt into flames.
The irony of the situation is that these sims live across the street from the fire department. (You can see the firetruck through the doors on the left - the next apartment over.)
I had to remind her to put out this fire too. After this adventure, both sims were very hungry having not only burnt both their breakfasts, but both their stoves as well. They didn't have enough money to replace the stoves, but they did have enough to go across the street to the pub and pizza place and make some breakfast calzones.
Spring chose to eat hers outside, while Gustavo ate inside. Maybe she was upset with his carelessness earlier that morning.
Spring then went next door to the fire department and reported the fires.
She was given a fire-safety lecture by her friend Autumn who worked there.
While this exchange was going on, I could hear a slap-fight in the background. It seems these two sims got into it, presumably over the broken computer. I don't know who the brunette is, but I know the blonde to be a trouble-maker ever since she was a teen. I think she either got the hot-headed or mean-spirited trait as a teen. Her name is Bridgett Wolfe, and her mother Patty is dating the resident vampire Terrence.
I see Terrence around town on occasion. This is him. This lady, however, isn't Patty Wolfe.
