Increasing a Few Degrees: The Calientes Go to College, Final Chapter

[RainBeau]

Poor Alfred Alfred! () I am sad for that guy. Even though he totally deserves better.

[Eldridge]

I don't understand you, Rosa. You say poor Alfred but you do some wink wink there lol

[Niana]

Oh my gosh... just when you think they can't possibly get dumber!! (I'm ashamed of sharing a name with one of them, too )

And like Rosa said, poor Alfred Alfred... I'm torn between rooting for them to get together so he can help her grow up, or... telling him to RUUUN!

Pippin, kudos to you for being able to shuffle between psychology-loaded dream sequences in one story to being able to write like this Can't wait to see more!

Nina:  Think I'll check if there's any mail from Luisa today.

Dina:  Well, is there?
Nina:  No.  She didn't write today.
Dina:  Maybe she was eaten by a bear!
Nina:  Oh no, I couldn't bear that!
(A pause, while they figure it out, then laughter)
Nina:  Well, back to my studying.

Nina:  Yep, you sure are the man, Professor Rodgers.  So, you can leave anytime.

Dina:  I'm worried about Luisa.  Maybe you should text her.

Nina:  Why don't you do it?
Dina:  I'm busy painting this picture for my new significant other, Paul Biden.

Nina:  Oh, I already had a text from Luisa.  She says she's found her Mr.  Right.
Dina:  Wow, if they get married, her name will be Luisa Right.  Luisa Left would sound better.
Nina:  Yeah.  I'll call her about it on my way to class.

Nina:  So what's this about you finding Mr. Right?
Luisa:  Yep!  He's perfect and we're getting married the day you two come back from university.
Nina:  Isn't that in, like, two years or something?
Luisa:  It's tomorrow, sweetie.  In fact, don't you have finals today?
Nina:  Umm, I gotta go. (Starts working on her cheat sheet)

Dina:  Thanks for posing for me again, Asala.  I still hate you, though.
Asala:  You're welcome, D.  I hate you too.  By the way, your new fella was hitting on me.
Dina:  WHAT?!?

Did you honestly think you could sneak around behind my back?  Do you know who my sister is?  She's way better at such things than you'll ever be!!

Paul:  But...weren't you on a date with another guy when we first met?
Dina:  We weren't talking about me!

Nina:  Being a physical education major, I figured I should hit the gym.  It proved to be a nice, quiet place to work on my blog.

Dina:  Thanks for asking me to come bowling with you to cheer me up, Alfred Alfred.

Alfred:  Y-yeah...sure thing...

Dina:  Wow!  you're really good at this!  I didn't even know sliding was legal in this game!
Alfred:  Umm...yeah...thanks...

Dina:  Is it bad when it goes in the little dippy part?
Alfred:  N-no...as long as...you're having fun...that's what matters...
Dina:  Thanks, Alfred Alfred.  You're such a sweetheart!
Alfred:  (Blushing)

Nina:  Well, it's the morning after finals now, and here are our grades.

Dina:  Did you get in trouble for cheating on your final?
Nina:  Yeah, but with my extra credit, I still pulled a C.

Dina:  I got an A!  I should go tell Alfred Alfred.  He starts with one of those.
Nina:  Sorry, D, no time.  We have a bachelorette party to prepare!

Nina:  Bye, everyone.
Dina: (To Asala) Thanks for taking your clothes off for me, Asala.
Nina: (To Anoki) Thanks for taking your clothes off for me, Apollo.

Let's do a kissing picture.
Anoki:  Okay, but my name is (kissing)...names are overrated...

[Eldridge]

*shake head to these two* couldn't they be better?

Hahaha, what a funny update. Aww, Alfred you're so sweet.

[RainBeau]

Their idiocy...knows no bounds...wow. And so inconsiderate and oblivious to boot. Just the whole all-round brain-dead package. Poor Alfred Alfred. He's my favourite. I want to sit him down and watch Doctor Who with him and validate him as a person.

I enjoy the following Alfred has built up!  He is a wonderful character.  Fear not, you haven't seen the last of him and his awkward ways  :=)

[PeregrineTook]

Nina:  So, our little Luisa is making the terrible choice to tie herself down to one guy.
Dina:  Now, Nina-bee, I think you're missing what's really important.
Nina:  What's that?
Dina:  She found an excuse to throw a party!
Nina:  Good call.

Dina:  I invited my friend Alfred Alfred to be my date to the wedding.
Nina:  I'll just choose a date from the guys that show up.

Dina:  Come lay on the bed with me, Alfred Alfred.
Alfred:  I...umm...sure...
Dina:  Is that thingy an inhaler?
Alfred:  Yes...

Dina:  I'll be heading back to university soon to keep working on my art degree.
Alfred:  I think...you are a work of art...
Dina:  Aww, Alfred Alfred!

Inhaler again?
Alfred:  Yes...

Nina:  And finally, it was party time.
Dina:  Didn't we look faboo in our dresses?
Nina:  Yeah, it's too bad we look so much prettier than Luisa.

Nina:  Oooo, I think I've just found my date.  There's just something about a man in a beret!

Dina:  I remember that dare when I was at university.

Dina:  I'm not sure I want to kiss random Sims.  I'd rather kiss someone specific.

Nina:  Oh, what an interesting thing you're saying.  I'm going to act interested some more.

Dina:  (Thinking to herself) That girl is so not as pretty as me!
Girl who's not as pretty as her:  Look at that dork dancing by himself over there!
Dina:  Hey!  That is my dork!  And he's just a-dork-able!

Nina:  So, what say we get some pizza?  And make out?
Timmothy:  Wow, you're so subtle!

Dina:  So, Alfred Alfred.  I've been thinking about when I kissed random guys.
Alfred:  Umm...oh...okay.
Dina:  I don't want to anymore

Alfred:  Umm...what...?
Dina:  I want to kiss someone specific.
Alfred:  Who...

Dina:  Inhaler?
Alfred:  (Gasping and nodding)

Nina:  Luisa left.  Guess we'll have to take over entertaining the guests.
WWAAAAAHHAAAAAA!!!!

You're welcome.

Alfred:  I just...you're so pretty...I don't think people would think...you'd want someone like me...
Dina:  Well, I don't want to get married or anything.   Well, not now.  But maybe someday.  And no one makes me feel as special as you do.

But if I change my mind someday, would you like to marry me?
Alfred:  Of course...yes...
Dina:  And do you want some pizza?  I'm starved!

Nina:  Oh, look.  I guess Nina's back.  And apparently already married.
Dina:  Hooray!  We get cake now!!

[Eldridge]

Awww, Alfred Alfred... May you be happy with Dina there.

I was laughing hard when I read about inhaler things!
I love how do you put humor in this story, Pippin.
And indeed, this chapter completes Libros. At least we can see from some aliens perspective

[MarianT]

One thing about decadynasties -- you can't do anything about how the bride-to-be or groom-to-be dresses for the wedding. Just warning you.

Yeah, I enjoyed playing the different perspectives on the wedding.  The odd, odd experience of a wedding where the groom shows up and leaves 10 Simminutes later to go to work!

One thing about decadynasties -- you can't do anything about how the bride-to-be or groom-to-be dresses for the wedding. Just warning you.

Wait, I designed the bridesmaid dresses after starting the dynasty.  Did I just invalidate my dynasty?  I was already planning on Luisa getting married, so I did hers at startup, but I wasn't thinking about the wardrobe rule applying to the secondary characters.  Please tell me everything will be okay...

[Eldridge]

I hope that everything will be okay, Pippin.

Yeah, but that still better instead no one coming into your wedding party. That was a sad sad moment.
You should throw a wedding in the afternoon instead in the morning.
Gobby wedding was successful, it's around 2pm - 4pm. If it's in Kev case, he is late, he started the wedding around 6pm.
And he has something to deal with Axl and Erik Birthday party. And surely was a hectic day when all of your Sims has a low motives! That will ruin your storytelling experience lol.

[MarianT]

Pippin -- you're fine. I'm sorry, I should have made things clearer. You can design anything you want for the members of your household, but of course you don't have any control over what the spouse-to-be will show up in. I was just struck by the sight of Luisa in her white dress and heels at the wedding cake next to Danny in his "go team" sweatshirt.

[PeregrineTook]

I was concerned there for a moment.  I ran (figuratively, of course) to my PMing and checked it with Rica.  Since it didn't alter ages, it is now fine, but I was scared there for a moment.
Yeah, I was amused that Danny wore that considering I had only seen him with sport coats of a vest at least and then he shows up to his own wedding in a hoodie!

[Eldridge]

Phew...

I'm glad that everything is all right, Pippin! Way to go ^^
