Charlie: Oh my god! Visitors! I love visitors! Hey! Hey guys! Oh my god! Hey! *Tail breaks of from wagging at speed of light*

Hi everyone, and welcome back! After I posted the last chapter, I realised I never listed Charlie’s traits! He’s friendly, loyal, playful, and recently became adventurous too.

Charlie: So in other words, I’m the perfect family pet!

You really would be the perfect dog for a kid, but it doesn’t look like Lola wants any; she’s still hell-bent against having a family. Oh well, at least she’s working towards her lifetime wish, which is to have 20 friends all at once.

Here she is now, making some some friends at work. This extremely pregnant woman is Linda – they’ve been talking for a while, and get on really well.

Lindsay: So, what do you do for fun?

Lola: Partying, of course! I mean… my latest party wasn’t a huge hit like they usually are, but I don’t exactly have an actual house right now so it’s not my fault. Besides, I’m sure the next one I hold will be pretty damn epic.

Lola: But what about you? I mean, you have a husband, and another baby on the way. They’re pretty much nothing but pooping, farting eating machines… and babies are too! That’s why I’ve decided to never get married or have kids, so the party never stops… don’t you regret your decision?

Lindsay: Of course not! I mean, the reason we go to parties is to have a good time, right? To have fun? Well, I think parties are much more fun when you’re with someone – you can get drunk and they can drive you home, and you can hold your own parties much more easily.

Lindsay: As for kids… well, kids parties are some of the best, and children are a pretty good excuse to watch cartoons 24/7. So, if you like to party, maybe you should reconsider!

Lola: Well, I do like cartoons. So does the writer of this blog, actually. She once appeared on a Nickelodeon quiz show answering questions about SpongeBob SquarePants.

WHAT, NO, THAT’S NOT TRUE HAHAHA.

… yes it is. I was eleven. Haters gonna hate.

Lola: Erm, hi. So… you’re a foetus, yeah? Huh. So… how is that working out for you? Is it going well?

Lola looks so hesitant to touch the baby belly.

Lindsay: It’s not a bomb, I won’t go explode if you touch it.

Lola: I’m not sure if it’s cute or disgusting yet so my face is half and half.

Lola: Aw, screw it. Hey, this is actually pretty cute!

Lindsay: You know what I said about how I wouldn’t explode if you touched me? I totally take it back, I’m going into labour!

Lola: OH DEAR LORD, THIS ISN’T CUTE AT ALL, THIS IS HIDEOUS, A PERSON IS GOING TO FLY OUT OF HER FRONT BOTTOM IN A GUSH OF BLOOD AND GUTS!

Oh come on, it’s not like that! Birth is supposed to be a beautiful natural phenomenon and-

Lola: WHAT HAS BEEN SEEN CANNOT BE UNSEEN.

Lola isn’t the only one who’s horrified by the birth.

Argus Brown: I’m a werewolf and when I was younger I slaughtered whole towns in a rush of hunger, violence and gore, but this is the bloodiest thing I’ve ever seen!

Lindsay: Are these guys for real? My water hasn’t even broken yet!

Lola: OH, THE HORROR!

Lola recovers from this traumatic experience by bonding with Charlie… in her underwear, apparently.

Charlie: Bewbs, yay.

I’m not entirely sure that this is normal, Lola.

Charlie: Hey, I’m not complaining.

Or both?

Anyway, that Sunday Lola had a day off, so she decided to go swimming with Gustav, who is now her best friend.

Gustav: Thanks for inviting me out, Lola. There’s actually something I want to tell you…

Lola: Oh my god, I’ll race you to the water!

Gustav: …Well… I guess I can tell you later.

Poor Gustav, with a best friend like Lola, I’m sure he can never get a word in.

However, she is ridiculously cute, even though in the sims their bodies look completely distorted underwater. You know what this means? It’s time for a best-friends-going-swimming-fun picture spam!

Why are you going swimming with your shirt on?

Gustav: …I’m a little self-concious, if you must know.

He is adorable.

Lola: Haha, splashed him.

Caught her mid-jump.

Lola: Thanks for a great day, Gustav. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had, even more than parties.

Gustav: Haha, well, knowing you, that’s a big honour! I’m glad. Anyway… remember the thing I had to tell you? Here it is: I have a girlfriend! I thought that you should know first, as one of my closest friends. Isn’t it great?

Lola: Oh…

Lola: …Yeah. That’s great Gustav. Really great. I’m really happy for you.

…

Hey, Lola, are you OK?

Lola: I’m fine.

Are you sure? Because ever since Gustav mentioned his new–

Lola: I don’t want to talk about him. Just leave me to drink my juice on the toilet in peace.

You like him, don’t you?

Lola: No. I don’t like anyone. Just leave me alone.

You’re lying. I can see all of the wishes you’ve rolled for him.

Lola: What are you talking about?

You’re a sim. You roll wishes; I see the things you want. And right now, you want to kiss Gustav, you want Gustav to be your boyfriend, you want to cuddle Gustav…

Lola: Oh my God, shhh!

Lola: Okay, fine, you got me. Yeah, I may have a slight crush on Gustav. I’m sure it’s just a passing thing, so just leave me be, okay?

This isn’t a passing thing, you really like him, don’t you? You just don’t want to admit to it because you want to keep up your life as this flirty party girl!

Lola: You know what? Yeah. You’re right. Gustav is funny, and cute, and a really good friend, and I like him. Happy now?

Lola: But he has a girlfriend, so there’s nothing I can do about it. All of my life, I’ve always chosen the wrong guys, and I guess he’s just another chapter in that. Not to mention, I think Markus the llama boy likes me because we went on that one horrible date to the bar … ugh, my love life is all so confusing.

Look, just think it through and put yourself in Gustav’s shoes. If a someone really liked you, but you were already in a relationship, what would you want them to do?

Lola: … I’d really want them to tell me, because I know it’s not nice to keep feelings to yourself… and you never know what will happen…

Well then, that’s what you’ve got to do! Tell him!

Lola: Oh, so I’ll just burst into his house with this creepy smile waving my hands, when he’s sitting there kissing the face off of his new girlfriend, and scream, “Gustav! I know we’re only friends, but I want your babies!” Is that what you want me to do? Because I think telling him now, just when he’s broken his news to me, will make me look pretty damn insane!

… You want his babies?

Lola: … It was a figure of speech.

She spent the next day drawing up some fashion ideas for her job. Hey, Lola, the person you’re drawing has a six pack. Are you drawing Gustav? Is that what you imagine is under that swimshirt of his?

Lola: Omg, please just shut up.

Teasing her is fun.

She then went and drew boobs and a girl face on the body, but I get the feeling that she just wanted to keep her weird Gustav art a secret.

… creepy. I didn’t take too many pictures for a while as not much happened, but after Lola started to sketch fashion ideas, she began to build up her painting skills, allowing her to make some money on the side as well as make progress in her career as a stylist. Now, she’s at level 6 of her career and also has 6 painting skill points, among others. She’s halfway to adulthood, and she feels it’s time…

…Especially after getting this letter. Gustav is too sweet for words.

Lola: Hey, Gustav? Yeah, it’s me. Listen, why don’t you come over and we can mess around in the snow? Cool. I’ll see you then.

Lola: Hey, Gustav. Listen, the snow wasn’t the only reason I asked you here. I have something to tell you and it’s really–

Gustav: I bet I can beat you in a snowball fight!

Lola: … I guess I can tell you later.

Ha, tables have turned. Time for another picture spam!

Lola: Thanks for another great day, Gustav. But like I said… I need to talk to you. Ever since you told me about your girlfriend–

Gustav: … Oh. Well, uh, actually, Haley and I broke up a few days after that day at the pool. She was just using me to make some other, richer guy jealous. Typical, huh?

Lola: I’m sorry to hear that Gustav, but I have to tell you this … I like you. Like, really seriously like you. And I was wondering… Do you like me too?

Gustav: Well of course I do, Lola! I mean you are my best friend!

Lola: No, I don’t think you understand…

Oh crap, it’s the night at the club all over again.

He looks pretty shocked. Ugh, moment of truth!

YES! This legacy is a-go! Well, I think that this is a good place to stop this post. Has Lola settled down for good? Where will this relationship go? And how will Charlie feel now that his eye-candy is taken? Hopefully we’ll find out next time.

Lola: You might want to leave now, unless you want to see more face-eating.

Haha, happy simming everyone! Bye!

Lola: Seriously though, leave or you’ll see a whole bunch of pixelated junk.

…Ew.
