Legacy Family Picture Spam

I have nothing to write about them since they've been rather happy (and Elizabeth hasn't stopped by recently *cough*). So I'll share a couple of pics.


I'm not one to fawn over my sims, but a shirtless Green Mellon holding one of the babies is too cute.




I don't have a lot of pictures of the boys, Pierce and Russel. I didn't really realize that both Green and his wife are S4 and they both have dark blue eyes. (I never think about such things when I'm pairing sims up.)

So both the boys have blue eyes and S4 skin. (I feel I should mention their sister here, so now I have.) I can't tell them apart! But it seems Russel is a bit more active. He hardly sleeps when he's put in the crib.



That's why I'm rather SURE (very sure) that this is Russel sitting with his father in the study. (Notice, no "zzz"s.) Cute aren't those? They're by MsBarrows over at TSR. I got them when she set them to free for forever. (But I warn you, if you have a butler, he will not leave the children on the floor. He just can't have it.)

Here's their mutt, Moody. I kept finding puddles in this corner and kept thinking, "Nuh uh!" I finally caught him in the act. I call this piece, "Adding insult to injury."




I can see Amanda saying to Green, "Really? You couldn't put a shirt on?" Oh and notice teh grilled cheese? Haha, I love the Servo Caliburst.



Sorry to anyone who actually reads this. I've been off all week, so I've been playing a lot and updating a lot. All of the story pieces I've posted though were written earlier, probably a couple of weeks ago. I'm just trying to stay ahead of myself?

(Actually, I should probably just take up another hobby like knitting or something.)

Green says goodbye

"I'm sorry Mom isn't here," Water said to Green as he scooped him up in a "long time seeing you sorry to see you now" hug.



Green only shrugged and turned his head to look over at his wife, Amanda, who was shaking hands and accepting condolences from Richard, The Mayor. "You know, she should be here. She made such a huge deal about the babies. She wanted a girl."

Water only stood silently near his younger brother. There was not much he could think to say. His own wife was due any day now to deliver their second girl. He could only imagine how it would feel if they lost her before they knew her.

But Water expected his wife to deliver a healthy girl. Green had only known about two of the babies for sure, the third one was something of a surprise. Water was sad for his younger brother, but he couldn't help thinking that Green had two other children. Two strong boys who had probably crushed their younger baby sister in the womb. Guilty at his thoughts, Water looked over to his brother.



Green stood still, but his eyes betrayed him. Even with the sun at his back casting a shadow on his face, Water could see the tears brimming in his younger brother's eyes. Water placed a hand over his brother's back, and at his touch Green snapped. His shoulders hunched as he started to cry softly. Amanda glanced over, but seeing Water comforting her husband, she did not move to help.

There wasn't much that could be said. They stood in the grass before the small grave. Water's eyes kept reading over the name imprinted on the tombstone-- Lyrisa Ann Mellon. In the grass next to her tombstone, a small stone fairy sat protecting the young child buried under the ground.

On watch

Amanda Mellon relaxed in bed. She felt enormous. The doctor had warned her that she had to have plenty of bed rest in the last month. He was sure there was more than one baby, but he was worried there might possibly be even a third.



The time was close. She could feel the babies in her belly jostling for room.



The entire house was still awake. Caliburst, their servo who never needed sleep, was continually cleaning the house, tending the new garden Green had put in for her, and making grilled cheese sandwich platters (which he generally ate all on his own). Normally, the smell of the greasy grilled cheese sandwiches made her sick, but she had actually found an appreciation for Caliburst's tendency to always have a platter of sandwiches ready. When she was ravenously hungry, he would hand her a plate and sit down with her as she swallowed it in one gulp. It was more than Green had done for her.



Green spent his time in the small study working on his novel. Most of his time, at least. This afternoon, Amanda had gone downstairs to see her husband with a strange woman in the house. They had simply been too close for Amanda's comfort. And that strange woman, the way she looked at him. Her eyes were too bright, her smile too large. She said she was Aden Mellon's fiancée, but she hadn't looked attached to anyone when Amanda had caught a glimpse from the door way to the living room.

Ann's seaside shack (How it stays up, I don't know!)

To make matters worse, Ann (or as Amanda was beginning to think, "The mother-in-law from hell") called often. She had moved out to a seaside shack as soon as the decorations from the wedding had been cleaned up. But that didn't stop her from calling every other day anxiously waiting for news about babies. Even Green shuddered when the phone rang. Of course, his response was to take the phone out of the study where he worked.

Amanda closed her eyes as the babies kicked her belly and probably each other. She had laid in bed all day and most of the night, but she had not felt any better. The babies were due any time now.

Clothes-- Amanda felt a need to get dressed. She couldn't stay in bed any longer.

Just as soon as she had put on her newest maternity outfit, her belly began to ache. Sharp pains poked her in her sides, causing her to clutch at her stomach. They ebbed quickly before a newer, stronger onslaught of pain stabbed over her entire belly.

Amanda jumped to her feet and grabbed her large belly. "It's time!"








Silly picture time:


Apparently Elizabeth hadn't left after all. (Perhaps she was coming through to catch that can kicker.)

I love her look of worry, which almost matches Green's. Neither of them are having the babies. (Although Elizabeth is looking over at Green as if she is more concerned for him. Sort of an "awww" moment for me, even if it was a bit stalkerish for her to wait around for the birth.)

Greetings

Green invited her inside offering her lunch. "Caliburst makes the best grilled cheese." She had gently refused saying that she couldn't stay around long. "Then how about a game of pool?"

They walked over to the living room with the intent to play. Green's memories still searched for the missing piece of information that he was sure would break his memory wide open. Wasn't there something more? He was pretty sure that they all lived in the same dorm for a while, yet he couldn't remember much about her.



"Do you remember the time Aden pulled that prank on the Cow mascot?" She was saying. Her eyes seemed bright, and she moved much more comfortably than she had a second before. "Oh that poor cow mascot, I was sure we weren't going to see him until the end of the school year, and he was back the next day."

Green laughed with her, a natural and easy laugh. Something about her was different, natural and simple. It was easy to laugh with her around.



"I feel bad, you know." He said suddenly. She looked at him, the curiosity clear on her face. "I feel like I should know more about you. But I'm really drawing a blank."

She shrugged with a small smile. "Well, you did have to leave quickly, I don't blame you." There was something in her eyes. Her large green eyes seemed to shimmer in the light that filtered in through the expensive window.

"Hmm.. still." Green looked away, trying to catch the memory that was dancing just out of his reach. "I think I remember you looking differently."



For a second, worry clouded her face. "Oh, true. My hair used to be longer. I'm thinking about growing it out again though."

Worried that he had somehow insulted her (shouldn't he know better then to make comments on the looks of someone he couldn't remember well?), Green said quickly, "Oh well I think it's lovely now. Very pretty." At that she perked up. "I just wonder if I can't remember you because of it."

A throat was cleared as someone entered the room. "Hello." Amanda slunk between Green and Aden's girlfriend. (Green found himself impressed by her slinking abilities even while nine months along with twins and possibly, something in the back of his head added, triplets.)



Green stumbled over a quick introduction. "Amanda this is..."

"Elizabeth," the dark haired girl said quickly. "I'm Aden Mellon's fiancée."

Amanda raked her eyes over Elizabeth. "And I'm Green's wife." She rubbed her belly purposely.

Elizabeth smiled as she nodded. "Well, I do have to get going." With a small wave, she disappeared quickly.




This is all stuff that pretty much just happened while I was playing. Pregnant Amanda snuck up on me too.

Crash

Green stood at the bottom of the stairs after having tucked in his very pregnant wife. She was due any time now, and it was difficult to get her to listen to doctor's orders. Green had to finally just take her cell phone, her laptop, her PDA, and her files. Even then he had to practically lock her in her room to get her to stay put.

He'd had a small garden planted for her, a hint to her that she needed to slow down and smell the flowers. She only begrudgingly sat in the garden after she had rifled through his office to find her work tools and then became too tired to stand (but much too stubborn to sit with him as he worked on his newest novel).





Green put his head in his hands. She was wearing him out. As soon as the babies were born, he was sure that she would go straight back to work.

Just as Green was ready to head back to his office to continue working on his book, he heard a large crash from out front as if someone had just kicked the garbage can. Again. Only this time, he would catch the culprit!

Green burst out the door and ran over to the surprised girl who stood on his front lawn. Her eyes went wide at his approach and she raised a delicate hand. "Uhm... hi."



Green stopped short and stared at her for a short while. She looked so familiar, but in a way that felt like Deja Vu. "Did you just kick over my garbage can?"

"Uh... no? There was some guy who came along and kicked it. Then he ran off."

Green cursed under his breath. He was relatively sure that this girl had to be telling the truth. Why would she kick over his garbage can?

He focused on her, trying to remember where he had seen her before. "I know you..." Green thought back. He remembered her recently, just withing the last few phases. His thoughts stumbled around in circles as he tried to place her. He could feel the memory far off. It felt as if there were an invisible hole that his thoughts circled around.

"I know! You're Aden's girlfriend!"

He wasn't quite sure what the face she made meant (perhaps she and Aden were having some issues), but after a second of hesitation, she nodded.

What happened to Green? Part 4

There was a knock on the door and Green poked his head in. He had the classic puppy dog eyes as he looked at her. In a way it made her uneasy.


"I think I love you," he said softly.

Amanda put up a hand and laughed nervously as Ann snickered. "I told you to use friendship. Was your aim off or what?" Green seemed to pay her no mind and only stood there, waiting for Amanda to make a move.

When Amanda caressed his cheek, he shuddered at her touch as if he was working to fight back the urge to pounce her right there in front of his mother. "Well, Green. What made you change your mind?"

Green stepped close to her, his blue eyes in a slight haze. For one so slight, he was very strong and secure in his romancing ability, as if he had often swept female sims off their feet on a whim. He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her in for a kiss she could not resist. "Oh," was all she could say after he let her go.

Their romance moved quickly, and before he left for school again he had asked her to marry him right on the front lawn.

Green stayed at school until the day his father passed. After that day, something in Ann seemed to snap, and she pressed harder for the wedding and made Amanda promise a girl. A girl that she insisted would be especially for Ann. Amanda couldn't help but to feel a bit uncomfortable at Ann's urging, but to her credit she hid it very well.

Amanda found herself slightly worrying that her first child might not be a girl. How would her mother in law react? It already seemed that Ann had split at the seams, part of her had gone with Alec. The part that was left secretly frightened Amanda. But it was not something she could admit to Green without possibly telling him the complete truth which she was sure would break the spell that she had placed over him.

What happened to Green? Part 3

With Green gone, Ann took Amanda out of the dinning room and to the near by game room to give her a special gift. "I had hoped it would not come to this."

"What is this?" Amanda held in her hands a small black and white doll with pins for hair.





"I call it Mr. Mickles. Do you like Green? Tell me what you think."

Amanda thought about her answer while examining Mr. Mickles. "Well, he is cute. I don't know much else because he don't seem to want to say much else. Talking with him before lunch was rather impossibe."

"This will change that. Take a pin from the head, think about Green, and stick the side labeled friendship."

Amanda held the doll in her hands, closely examining its body. There were different words in different sections, each mapped out clearly. She noticed that right next to the section that said "friendship" lay a section labeled "romance." What if Amanda stuck a pin there? She didn't really believe anything would happen. Where ever did Ann find such a thing anyway? Perhaps Ann planned to use the doll as a psychological device to get Amanda to try talking to Green again.

Still, Amanda would give almost anything to be successful. She refused to allow Green Mellon to reject her. As she held in her mind the image of Green, she pulled a pin out of the head. The doll glowed red and gave off a very small amount of heat as if it were alive. The pin was stuck a little past the side that said friendship. Amanda felt a small jolt, then the doll went cold as it had been when she first picked it up.



Had anything happened? Amanda wondered how long it would take to find out.

What happened to Green? Part 2

A few phases ago, during the college break:

Lunch was indeed an odd affair. Amanda sat down to a fancy plate with a greasy grilled cheese sandwich resting on top.





Ann smiled, "Caliburst," she motioned to the servo, "is very fond of grilled cheese. I will say that no one makes grilled cheese like he does."

Green laughed. "Haha, I've missed these, Caliburst." Caliburst chirped happily at the compliments.

Ann had Amanda sit across from Green so that Amanda could have a good look at him. She eyed him up and down, taking in his blue eyes and his mussy black hair. He was rather cute, although he had an odd yet familiar aroma around him. Amanda hadn't been able to get close enough to smell him properly, but she was rather sure it was the smell of ground coffee beans.

"So, Green," Ann smiled politely, "tell us more about Uni. How's it going out there?"

Green glared at his mother as he responded with only one syllable. "Fine."

Ann turned to Amanda and said, "You know, Green has been without a girlfriend now for two phases."


Amanda turned to Ann, "Really? I can't believe someone so handsome would not have a girlfriend." She doubted compliments would work on him. Certainly something seemed off. But Amanda had never been one to give up until the prize was won. And if it wasn't worth keeping, she could always get rid of it.

Green sat still, glowering in his seat. "Listen, I'm going to see what Dad is up to and check out the rest of the house." He got up, leaving a disgusting half eaten grilled cheese sandwich on the delicate plate that had been before him.

"Ok dear!" Ann smiled at him.

What happened to Green? Part 1

Amanda lay awake with Green resting on her arm. He had been quite tipsy, so he had drifted off to sleep quickly. She hadn't even had time to remove her make up after the wedding. Green had lead her up to the bedroom with one clear intent.



She lay as still as possible as she thought back on the events that lead up to this moment. Amanda had met Ann purely on accident one day at Watermellon's, the restaurant which was owned by her other older son. She hadn't known what would follow. It was a fast friendship, and both women enjoyed sharing gossip about the sims around town.


Amanda could remember the fateful day Ann had called asking to come over. She said she had a "proposition" for her.



Once Ann was there, she was very direct. "I'm proposing a union between you and my son."

Amanda laughed in disbelief. "What?"



"If you marry my son, think of the possibilities. You'd be considered royalty-- we're the chosen line of the founder. We got the best spot on the hill. You'd get that entire house and the reputation."

Amanda had eyed Ann suspiciously. It sounded too easy. And why did Ann even need to find a mate for her son? He had to be hideous. "I'm sorry, but somehow I don't think I'm understanding. And all I have to do is marry your son Green? What do you get out of this deal?"

"Grandchildren that will carry on the line." Ann paused as if she were done, but she could see that Amanda was not rushing to accept. "Look, I do have one grandchild already thanks to my older son-- well possibly two, to be honest, but I want more. The first baby girl you have will be my gift."



"What if I don't have a girl?"

"Well, then, we will see."

Amanda's curiousty was peaked. She had noticed right away that Ann held a high standing in the new society of the city even more influential than the Mayor. "How do you propose we go about this exactly?"

"Green will be home in a few weeks on break from college. I would like you to come have lunch at our house and meet him. At the moment, he has no romantic prospects that I have heard of, and I am sure he will take a liking to you right away."

Amanda nodded; it couldn't hurt to try. "Sure. I'll at least meet him."

To the Prince!

Present playing day


"To the 'Prince'!" Everyone raised their glasses to Green in salute. The term "Prince" made him blush. It had started out as a joke on the ship. The Legacy household was compared to a castle, and Ann was the Queen. Everyone had great fun pretending to be peasants and calling Ann "Her Majesty."




Behind everyone, his beautiful bride smiled at him as she sipped from her glass. She had also mercilessly teased that she was marrying a Prince, and that once they were married, and Ann moved out, they would be the King and Queen. She loved to joke about it while he squirmed at the idea. He really hated being heir, and secretly, he wished Water were heir instead.


Richard, Jr., the Mayor, never one to be without attention, tapped his glass to quiet everyone for his toast. "Four phases ago, we crashed upon the rocky shore. Now here we stand together for this joyous occasion." As Richard began talking of the various projects and the hopes for the city, Green tuned out. It was just like Richard to use a public event to plug his various projects to drum up support. "And so, to the newlyweds!"

Green was getting a little tipsy. He kept an arm around his bride who solidly stood next to him. Everyone had seemed about done until his mother, Ann, picked up the tray that held the bottle and poured herself a glass then passed the bottle around so everyone could fill their glasses and those of their neighbors once more.



Ann turned towards Green with her glass raised. "Here's to all our wishes coming true. You have a truly beautiful and cunning bride. Her daughter will only be more so. To the future!"

Green was slightly tipsy, but the words she had chosen seemed off to him. He wasn't quite sure why or what was wrong with her speech. She had always made it clear she wanted lots of grandchildren. But his older brother, Water, already had one child, little Maddy. Why was she in such a rush?

After Ann's toast, the party began to wind down. Sims that had come to the top of the hill just to take part in the wedding were slowly heading home. Eventually, Ann sent the two newlyweds off with the promise that she would see everyone out.

Green wasted no time taking his lovely bride upstairs to his bed.

Uncertainty Part 6 - The End

When the phone rang, Elizabeth stood at her easel practicing her painting. She was almost in the zone, she could feel the edges of it blurring her vision and sending her into a trance. At least, until the phone rang.

Green sauntered past in his robe as he usually did even before the school break and over to answer the phone. He appeared the same as he ever had before-- still smelled of coffee, went to class in his robe, and spent all of his time writing. But there was something different. Much of his time was generally spent on the phone, and usually he would take it away from where Elizabeth stood working on her painting so that he could whisper into the phone out of her ear shot.



So that was it. Probably while on break, he had met someone else, and so he only pretended to not know her so that he could avoid the messy break up that would have been involved.

Elizabeth's cheeks flushed as she furiously dabbed at her painting. So foolish to think someone who kept their relationship secret actually loved her.

She heard Green say, "What?" His mouth fell into a frown. "Oh god, I'll be right there!"



"Green?" Elizabeth turned her head to face him even as he picked up the head set again to dial another number.

"My father passed away. I have to get home." She wasn't sure if he was talking to her at that point or to the taxi service because, after a short pause, he rattled off the dorm address then ran off to his room to pack.

Aden, sensing that something was wrong, came over to Elizabeth to ask her about it. "His father passed away."

Later that day, Green hopped into a taxi loaded with his things and left.

Uncertainty Part 4 - After Break

A few years ago


"Oh, Green! I missed you!" Elizabeth and Green stood together in the rec room. It was late at night, and most everyone had gone to bed or at the very least their room, giving Elizabeth private time with Green.

She reached over to hug him, to smell his odd musk and coffee beans scent, but he pushed her back. "What're you doing?"





Elizabeth stood still. Her hand burned where he had touched her. "Green, what's going on? You've been acting weird since you got back from break. This isn't funny."


Green's eyebrows furrowed as he stood before her. "What are you talking about?" When no words came out of her mouth and her eyes started to sting, Green brushed past her to head back to his room.



Elizabeth's feet wouldn't move. Her face flushed as the first few tears filled her eyes. Somehow, she wasn't sure how, she was back in her room with her door locked, crying into her hands. The parts of her body where Green had touched her burned with the memory, and she tried her best to wipe away his imaginary touches.


What had happened over break? She had no way of knowing and no one she could ask. Aden had told her exactly what he had done on the farm visiting his family, but he wasn't going to share what Green had done unless she out right asked.


Since Green had returned, he hadn't spoken to her more than a curious "hey" back to any of her greetings. Could he truly have forgotten her? Or was it all a lie?

Uncertainty Part 2 - Pre School Break

Elizabeth, having woken up before Green for once, brewed some coffee for the both of them. She found that coffee and Green were connected. When she had a cup of a good coffee, straight black, it reminded her of those nights she snuck into his room, past Aden's room, where they would try their best to quietly make love on his twin bed. Half the time they spent repositioning, stopping to listen for any strange noises they thought they heard, and then giggling like children.

Her short green nightie now stayed in Green's room, usually under his mattress. She loved it. It was long enough to cover her, but short enough to suggest it wouldn't. For the first time in her life, Elizabeth felt like a bad sim, and it unfortunately turned her on.

The only thing that had worried her these past nights was that she knew she had to tell Aden. Aden still hadn't managed to spend much time with her. He had morning classes which allowed for her to spend the morning in Green's room with little worry. And she had plenty of afternoon classes with Green. Both were literature majors, so both shared the same teachers and class times.

Green stirred behind her. "Mmmm... coffee. Thanks." He caressed her cheek then softly kissed her on the lips.

Her heart jumped when he did small gestures like that. Why couldn't Aden do that? "I have to talk to him today."

"Who?" Green took a sip of his coffee.

"Aden."

Green had the cup to his lips when she said it. She could see him quickly swallowing his sip. "Oh. Well, that's true I guess." He looked deeply into his cup. "I sort of feel bad though. Maybe it isn't a good time right now. Maybe we should wait until we go home for break."

It was tempting, but then when would she tell him? By phone? Or in person right before he left to be with his family?

"I mean, it could make it difficult living around here. We should get our own place together." Green caressed her cheek.

"I'll think about it. I guess. I do like the sound of our own place." Elizabeth drank from her cup, memories of public trysts in phone booths and in the rec room, the sneaking, the excitement, the guilt and shame. "We'll see."

Uncertainty Part 1 - Green and Elizabeth

Events Previous:

Aden and Elizabeth are a couple. They came over on the ship together and were jammed in with other sims including Green (he is the chosen "Legacy" heir so he's something of a prince), who had been their roomie at the old Uni.

Once they arrived, Green, Aden and Elizabeth spent some time helping to build up the city while Richard spoke and made deals with the locals. There was a college, and Green, Aden and Elizabeth were to be the first outsiders to attend.


A few years ago from present playing day:





Green ferociously pressed his lips to hers as he half lay on top of her on the sofa. Her legs dangerously dangled half off the sofa, so she clung to him, pulling him in closer, matching his ferocity in her attempt to not fall on the ground. Green smelled of musk and fresh ground coffee beans. Elizabeth almost laughed out loud when she realized that he very often smelled of coffee but for his kisses which covered her face, her lips, her eye lids. Aden never kissed her so passionately.

It had started with the ship ride to the new land. Green had hung around Elizabeth and Aden so often when they were on the ship, the three had become close. But her feelings towards Aden and Green had managed to balance out so that she had preferred neither over the other by the end of it all, although everyone aboard the ship accepted that she and Aden were a couple.



Green grabbed her legs with one hand and held her tightly so she no longer felt like she would fall. She threw her arms around his neck and focused only on kissing him; although her mind wandered she did her best to ignore it and focus on Green. Green and his sweet kisses, his hungry passionate kisses.

At the new college, Aden was often away. He enjoyed hiking much more than Elizabeth did. Although he often invited her, she often declined. Instead, Elizabeth spent her time painting, a new hobby she was surprised to find she enjoyed.

Green noticed her painting one day. He had stood behind her a while before he went to his room to do more work on his novel. It wasn't until after dinner that day, when Aden was at class that, out of the blue he leaned in close and told her, "When you get that look of concentration on your face, you look so cute!" Elizabeth had blushed furiously. No one called her cute, not even Aden.



Green lay his full weight upon her. He wasn't heavy in the least, and surprisingly, she found him to actually be rather on the skinny side for someone who spent all his time writing and drinking coffee. His body pressed up against her, warming her bare limbs. She ran her hand up and down his poor cold back. Perhaps the rec room had not been the best choice for this unexpected trist, but the idea that they could be caught--!



"Oh, Green!" She whispered huskily in his ear. Green's kisses came faster and furiouser.

Didn't he have a girlfriend already? Ashley Stratton had been his girlfriend. "She's still a teen." Green had told her numerous times. "She's a kid. I've already talked to her about it, honestly. We're still good friends though."

Green whispered in her ear, "Cmon. Let's go back to my room." Green grabbed their clothes which lay strewn on the floor. He cautiously walked to the door of the rec room and unlocked it. Glacning around, he motioned that the way was clear, and like two little kids sneaking back into a house after staying up all night, they ran over to his room; their bare feet making no sound on the soft carpet.

Green locked the door after she entered. Dumping their clothes on the ground, he gently lay her on his twin bed, then lay on top of her. They spent the night entwined in each other's arms.

Meanwhile

These events take place before Tierra De Legado.



Green and his cousin, Aden, are having a time in college!



Green has been working on his first book more than his school work. (As always. He was a horrible student in high school, and often had to be pushed to do his work.)

To help him stay up late, Green prefers a nice mug of strong black coffee. No girly espressos for him! I think he just likes the weight of the mug and the serious look it give him when he sips from it.

Green finally finished his book by the time his first semester was over. Poems for A., a set of poems he wrote for his sweetheart, Ashley, actually did really badly.

Green still gave her the book though. He was quite proud of it after all. He is already starting on his next book.





Aden Mellon, the unfortunate soul who is not only a middle child, but also has the misfortune of a horribly deformed face like his brother Stephen, is coming into his own. In other words, he's really growing on me.

Aden is more laid back. Originally, his parents had him running the store until his brother Phillip became a teen and decided that he was a fortune sim, and he wanted experience running a store. Thank goodness Phillip took over because Aden was seriously depressed. He hated running the store. He even hated going in with Phillip to help out.

Now at college, Phillip enjoys star gazing with the telescope (he's hoping to find the aliens again), and he's gained the attention of a cute young woman from his dorm.



Early one morning, he invited her out on a hike. Unfortunately, he lead them through a poison ivy patch, and they both came home itching. It took a while with all the itching, but Aden finally managed to get his first kiss.
