Chapter FifteenI have been playing my little swimming heart all day and night. A lotttt has happened.
Delilah has been working diligently at the Science station. She is up to Level 9. I am pleased that I chose this skill because she's been cloning money tree seeds over and over and helpful things such as that. I thought of Alchemy being her supermax, but it is a good thing I chose this one before that.
Rupert rolled the One Sim Band LTW, and I locked it in. Both him and Delilah are in the Study Club and Music Club which is helping him get up there. He is a level 7 pianist and plays beautifully on the golden grand piano. I guess he can serenade Delilah with "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White Ts. Ahh, that song never gets old.
Soon enough, prom arrived. Rupert, nervously, asked Delilah to go. Her response cracked me up. She said, "Sure, I guess I'll go with you, but there is no guarantee that aliens will abduct me last minute."
However, prom day did arrive. Rupert surprised his lady with romantic (*says in seductive voice*) red flowers. Venus demanded to take a picture of it and have Delilah hang it in her room. And she did.
Venus: "He's a good boy, unlike his rude excuse of a father. (He has the evil trait, by the way. He obsessively torments the entire house.) I have never understood what Felicity ever saw in him. "
Here's some close ups of our lovely teens while it's on my mind.
The limo came and whisked them away. They awkwardly sat across from each other, lol.
Prom was a success for the both of them. While they were slow dancing at prom, Delilah admitted to having very big feelings for Rupert and asked him to go steady. He said yes and couldn't wipe the smile off his face. He didn't leave her side the entire evening.
Back at home, terror struck. Well, for some. I have managed every chapter to hold my tongue on how much I HATE Skip. He is so frustrating with his Evil trait. I need to be more careful choosing spouses next time.
Felicity managed to hold her ground during the mourning. To help the sadness, they adopted a dog named Jack. I believe he is a cocker spaniel? But for sure a type of spaniel. Versailles loves to play and teach him hunting so we can have gems, metals, and rocks around. If anyone remembers, we had another dog named Cinnamon, and we raised her to an elder. She was put up for adoption because the house was sooo hectic at the time with two toddlers and five adults.
In the foyer, I took out the bar and moved it to family inventory. It was never used and was just taking up too much space. So now Jack has lots of room!
Soon enough, Venus finally managed to max the sculpting career without Midas Touch. I was afraid she wasn't going to make it, so I had Felicity frantically learn alchemy. Of course, Venus made it and it wasn't necessary to have it. At least we have a level 9 alchemist. Venus is ready for immortality once she ages! She will just need her final pieces. Yay! The Long Distance Friend reward has been a lifesaver because she has been such a skilling zombie that she never socializes. Now that she's done, there will be time to fix a few weakened relationships.
All was smooth until another strategy struck.
It broke Venus's heart to see her beloved Oscar with her no more, but she remembered the night Versailles told them to be prepared for heartbreak.
Both Skip and Oscar have medium tombstones. I wish I could have given them better lives, but with requirements I just didn't have the time too. Now they rest peacefully in a nice, new cemetery on the property Venus got married on. I tore down the wedding area and put a nice cemetery.
Notice the gnome, hehe.
Rupert was there for Delilah when her little fragile heart was broken. Their love is so sweet, and so far they're my favorite match.
To help with all the tears, Delilah threw a big pool party to give her a kickstart on friends.
Hydrophobic Venus sat it out though. Haha. Delilah also made this her new property and upgraded it to Level 3. It is a much less boring place to hang out.
Delilah also bought out the Science center. I thought it seemed fitting. I find it funny she has the option to fire Versailles. Haha.
I will also add a museum update on Delilah. One for Versailles and Venus will come soon. Check out the prom picture of Delilah and Rupert.
She has her prom queen crown and the flowers Rupert gave her in there too.
And then there was one more addition to the family - meet our new Scottish Terrier, Belle. She ages up today, so we will see if a little romance is there. Isn't she a cutie?
