Chapter Forty Eight - Hannah Grows Up

Back home, to the busy suburban family life. Better than Al Sim Hara Austin?
Meh.
Interesting. For a man of many words, he has very few to offer us today.
Change of topic.
Nice suit Austin. (I'm guessing this is is outfit of choice now that he's an International Super Spy), off to work?
Meh

 

Sorry I didn't lock your wish to retire, but all your wishes were full up and you weren't progressing any further with any of them until you wished to travel.
 
It was Blaine's first day at work too. The fire station was noticeably empty of staff, so he  was just about to upgrade the fire alarm when it went off.

It is making a funny noise.

That's signalling an emergency.

What do I do there is nobody else around.

Hop into the fire engine, drive to the source of the emergency and put out the fire.

Am I allowed to drive the engine?

Sheesh, I don't know, I've never dealt with a Simbot that wanted to be a Fire Fighter before. Just try it.

And so he rushed off, sirens wailing, to deal with his first emergency. A small house fire.
It should have been a piece of cake. However, it seems that one of his supposed work colleagues, decided to get in his way, stomping and yelling, so Blaine was stuck, whilst this small fire went from a Category A - within an hour or two, to a Category B emergency .... 3 hours maybe 4. I had to reset him and send him back there, where it was almost a repeat of the same situation. I had to reroute him to a spot on the lawn then onto putting out the flames.

Even so, he still got a boost up his career for what they call his 'quick thinking in an emergency'. Yeah, riiiight.
He went back to the station, to park his iron butt at the desk and sit chatting to someone - not a clue who though, until his shift ended.

Meanwhile, back home, here's a great glitch for you. William caught in mid transition, just before he turned into a micro fairy and headed off to the fairy castle outside.

Hannah was getting a lot of attention. Austin thought the world of her - and William too.

Even though she was a squally little kid, causing no end of frustration for both Austin and Shannon. So it was no surprise that Shannon felt a wash of relief when it came up to Hannah's birthday. I could have naturally let her transition without the cake, but I thought it would be interesting to see what happens.

Austin's Inappropriate trait kicked in as he mocked Hannah's birthday celebrations.
That's your daughter Austin.
She can't blow out the candles!!
Nevertheless ....
Nah boo!!

They ignored him. As did I.

And so she grew up into a sad faced little toddler. Cute, but just look at that face on her.... bless. She looks a lot like Austin there.

I just love her cute little butterfly wings!!!

Chapter Forty - A Double Celebration

Austin was organising a birthday party for William, hence the phone call. Perhaps a gathering of all their friends would cheer Shannon up somehow.

He went to work, in the worst blizzards that Dragon Valley had ever known, and came home to tell us all the good news. He'd just reached his Lifetime Wish.

From now on, he is to be known as Austin Powers International Super Spy..... has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Nice suit by the way!!

He needed to recharge his batteries before the celebrations, and took a nap on the settee, just as the guests were arriving!!!

During the celebrations, Shannon vanished upstairs.
Now we know why she's been moody lately.
She's pregnant again!!!
Either that, or she's been eating rotten leftovers from the fridge once more!!!

Looks as though one of our guests is looking a little worried.

And for good reason too.
It appears that someone else is trying the old 'shove a plate through the torso' act.

Austin collected William from his crib and brought him downstairs to help blow out the candles, whilst everyone gathered.

Crypto preferred to commandeer the settee for a little brain regeneration!

With a sprinkle and a POOF!! Gone goes the cocoon baby, and here comes little toddler William.

Altogether now....

AWWWWWW

He's got his dad's dark eyes and skintone, but the rest of him is all Shannon's. From the pink fairy wings to the facial features.

Here's a little more info about William.


Star Sign : Virgo
Likes:
Music: Beach party
Colour: Sea Foam
Food: French Toast.

Lifetime Wish not yet recognised since he's still a bit too young to wish for anything so grandiose at the moment.

And he's got his dad wrapped around his chubby little finger LOL

All he's got to do is yell, and Austin makes sure he gets what he wants.

Oh by the way, it just so happened to be a Full Moon. So this party ended up with a few zombies enjoying the festivities at the same time!!!

Chapter One - We Haven't Really Thought This Through

 Inspired by the Wishacy Challenge: Here are the rules http://buckeygirl80.blogspot.co.uk/p/intro-and-rules.html

And this really great story http://scentoflotus.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/chapter-1-pajama-party.html

I decided upon taking up this challenge for myself.
The first attempt was a failure since I'm pretty sure that I cheated/broke the rules a few times

But anyways, I took a Sim that I'd created a looooooooooooooong time ago and tweaked him slightly.
Meet Austin Powers - revamped.

Yes, he's the same cheeky chappy that we are  all familiar with in the movies, but for this challenge I had to tweak his traits a little and came up with these.

Charismatic - and why not?
Inappropriate - because honestly, I didn't want to change too much here
Brave - well, he does tend to charge into situations feet first
Flirty - because that's his nature
Family Oriented - this is new, I wanted to give him a chance to procreate and continue the Powers family line for a few generations.

His likes are:

Food - Grilled salmon
Music - Rock
Colour - Red

His LTW?

International Super Spy

Well, we couldn't possibly deny him his dream now, could we?

Now here's the twist.

For some reason or another, he has found himself stranded in the middle of Dragon Valley a veritable time warp, quite different from his previous time travelling experiences. His mission is to find out what put him there in the first place (me, but I'm not telling him) and put down some roots just in case he can't get back home. He only has 20,000 Simoleans to spend on a house - furnished or unfurnished.

After a long search, he found one, and purchased it - unfurnished (what WAS I thinking?). Giving him a tidy sum of money to play around with.

There's only one problem. It's looking quite sparse in there. Bare floorboards, just a bathroom and a kitchen.

He hasn't wished for any furniture yet. I cannot wait when the sun goes down and he needs to sleep.

Fufilling his wishes are fairly easy at the moment. He wants to join the local police force.
So, whilst I was looking for the police station.....

.... um, Austin? What ARE you doing?

Hey look, reception is great around here! They're streaming one of my movies! Yeah baby. YEAH!!

You're on a mission, remember?

Yeah yeah, in a minute, they're coming up to the best part ...

This is where I butt in to fulfil one of his locked wishes, cancelling out his autonomous action.

Hey!

Listen sonny, you wanted to join Law Enforcement didn't you?

Yeah?

Then let's go.

Hey, this is weird. Considering that this town is supposedly caught in a medieval time  vortex, a big yellow taxi pulls up to escort Austin downtown.

The creators didn't really think this one through now, did they?

They arrived at this imposing building, where Austin stood out like a sore thumb!

This.... is the police station?

Looks like it.

Whoa, stuff is weird around here.

You're not kidding there Austin. Well, you'd better go in and charm yourself into a job in there.

Ohhhh, I like your plan. Charm I can do.... in buckets!!!

*sigh* he is soooo easily distracted. Seriously.

However, after a couple of hours of careful negotiation (he walked straight up to the desk, used his typical charm offensive and asked for a job), Austin got into Law Enforcement at the bottom rung of the corporate ladder - a Snitch.

And after fulfilling that wish, he immediately wanted to send one of his work colleagues a text!!!

What could I do but grant his wish?

Do you think I should send a naughty romantic one, friendly one, maybe stream one of my video links????

Um, I think a naughty one is out of the question Austin. After all, you've only just walked into that job, you don't want to be fired on the first day now, do you?

True. So true.

So a friendly text then?

Yeah.

Dayum, these buttons are so small!

Perhaps you should brush up on your Social Networking Skills?

Hey, good idea baby!

Less of the 'baby' Austin.

You're a spoilsport.

*rolls eyes*
