When they take us up and throw us, with the lobsters, out to sea

Dull? Me? Bossy older sisters, it's not like I'm going to listen to her drooling over Hans all the time.

Oh, I'm Johnny, and I'm taking over for a little. Hans and Miss Bossy Boots Brooke are still all over each other. When they aren't with their brat, of course.

Well, Miss Bossy Brooky did fall in love with Hans not long after they met. I've been finding love a bit harder. There really hasn't been a girl that stands out for me.

This is Alaina Proffit-Frio. I was out looking for scrap for more inventing when I notice Alaina.

And for once a girl did not look at me like I was from another planet when I flirted with her. That was nice, I was starting to think I had some girl repellent features that meant I'd never find one.

In fact this was going so well, I asked Alaina out to dinner at the Bistro. Unfortunately, it was later than I had realised. Way later once we ate.

I was busted for breaking curfew. The cop didn't care that it my first date, or anything else. She was just determined to get me home.

God, if Dad comes out, the whole fricking street is going to hear "John Edward Grant". Dad can be quite loud when he's angry. If it's Mom, it will be quiet but she'll be tearing strips off me for breaking curfew.

It was Mom. She was definitely in quiet but deadly mode too.  No visible wounds but man that hurt none the less.

She didn't care it was my first date either. I wish it had been dad, he would have yelled for a minute but he'd understand.

Finally, I'm growing up and won't be a teenager any more. I'll have no more curfews, can do more. Alaina is over to celebrate as well.

It feels good to finally be an adult. I decided Alaina and I should celebrate by taking a trip to China.

I discovered that Alaina is adventurous and absolutely loves rummaging around in tombs and caves. Me? I am actually more interested in adding to my collection of artifacts but you have to explore tombs to find good ones.

Man, I hate bugs.
We did a lot of tomb exploring over the 5 days we stayed.

We also got better acquainted - if you catch my drift.

Much

Much

Much better acquainted.

It was fantastic to be with Alaina over a holiday. Much as I love my family, even Miss Bossy Boots, I'd never have this kind of time alone there.

I spent a lot of time doing errands for this guy. He needed metals, gems, all sorts of stuff. While I was at it, I grabbed a lot of extras to bring home. My bags weighed a ton but we not only paid for the holiday, we made a serious profit out of it.

Alaina was quite taken with the Martial Arts. She'll be good at this sometime.

Base camp does have most of what you need. But you do have to cook, clean and do repairs while you're there.

We flew home and Brooke mentioned that it was Picasso's birthday that night. Good thing she said something, I had rather forgotten his birthday was rapidly arriving.

  1. Now, Johnny looks like a Grant! Wow, you really perked him up, PiB. Did it take just finding the right girl and figuring out what he liked doing? Not an easy task with some sims.

    I like Alaina. She looks like a spitfire when she practicing her martial arts.

    I'm so happy to see you back with this one. I was wondering what you were going to do to shake Johnny up a bit!

  2. That isn't all that happened with Johnny but I'll get the next post organised soonish. He did need some concentrated time to get his life moving a bit. Brooke has always been easy, very easy.

    Alaina is one of Jared Frio's three kids. The other two are her half siblings, Jared had 3 kids with three women. LOL

    I was beginning to think I was going to have to throw Johnny at every Sim in town with no partner - female and male. It may not be a problem now.

    Alaina isn't quite as affectionate as I would hope but she has two old romantic interests so getting her to officially drop them might help.

  3. Ooh Johnny, you grew up nice and you found a good looking girl. I am so glad he has someone.
    Teens just gotta break curfew at least once during their teen years.:) It's part of being a teen.
    I love the China pics.
    Oh no, the creepy crawlies attacked!
    Alaina looks like she is going to be one tough cookie with her Martial Arts skills.

  4. I love Johnny waiting to see who was coming out after he broke curfew - he was very nervous.

    They had a good time in China
