Chapter Eight - It's Not a Party Without a Little Drama

I want a Pool Party.

Excuse me?

It IS Leisure Day, yes?

Um, yes.

That means .... a Pool Party!!

One problem. No pool.

We can use the local swimming pool? I'm pretty sure that'll do just nicely.

I'm not so sure about that. Just look at the Megaphone wish. That didn't quite work out as planned.

Yeah well, we can try again.

So, I organised a 'Pool Party', inviting just a couple of people - namely Shannon MacAnna, in the hopes that the two of them would hit it off pretty soon.

But then, disaster struck.
It rained, heavily all morning.
Great. Just what we needed.
Big nasty heavy thundery showers to dampen the spirits of this public holiday.

However, not to be deterred, the party went as planned. Everyone gathered at the pool, in the pouring rain.

Hey, good party isn't it?

Teagan MacAnna: Yeah, I guess so.

Attempt number two with the megaphone wish.
Austin declared his love for Shannon once more.
This time, right in front of her. Bless her, she was flattered.

But the damned stupid wish still didn't work.
By now, growling to myself, I was close to cancelling that wish, but stopped.
I have no idea why. But I thought this was cute. Shannon thinking about some new recipes.

Which spurred Austin into making some hotdogs on the barbecue.

I waited to see if he'd manage to burn them, but nope. They came out almost perfectly.
Not bad for a beginner really.

And then he went about tagging floors, in his sleepwear, hoping that nobody would notice.

Alas, that wasn't going to last long.

 Before then, he decided to hold a rant. In the public toilets - and finally managed to fulfil that 'use megaphone' wish!!!

The police turned up and arrested him.

But I work for you guys now!

Doesn't matter, you shouldn't be defacing public property like this. Not even you are above the law.
I'm fining you 1,000 Simoleans and presume that you won't be doing it again.

As the officer drove off, Austin suddenly had a wish....
... to send her a text message!!!

*slaps forehead*

 Oh by the way, the party was a moderate success, and as Leisure Day came to a close, the locked wish actually vanished from the control panel. So effectively  it was - to a degree - a mild success!

Chapter Six - You're Just as Famous as Me!!

It was a Full Moon. That meant only one thing. ZOMBIES!!!
But that wasn't going to phase Austin, as he tried to rally forth a protest, failing miserably.
He needed a venue, but his energy and hunger bars were slowly slipping into deep orange.

One of his wishes was to use the Megaphone. So I assumed that this was for ALL actions in the pie chart.
But nope.

So effectively, that's one failed wish so far.
Great.

Anyways, feeling really hungry, he decided to join a few Sims having a picnic, and mooch some food off them.

Including, believe it or not ..... a zombie!! I guess he preferred hot dogs to brains!!!!

Austin was soon distracted, however, by what I assume was a celebrity Sim.
Hopping up excitedly from the picnic table, he approached said celeb and asked for his autograph.

The gent kindly agreed as Austin bounced with glee.

"You're almost as famous as me!" he exclaimed excitedly.

The man just nodded quietly as he scribbled his name on a piece of paper.

"That's nice," he said kindly, "here you go sonny. Now hurry home before the zombies get you."

Austin ignored the guy's patronizing comment and glanced straight at the camera.

Yeah, I know.

Wish I'd made a note of that Sim .... for posterity. But meh. 

Chapter Five - Shouting From the Rooftops

 Because of his incessant obsession with painting street art (and rolling many opportunities to actually earn cash in said task), Austin soon gained the Rebel status. Which also meant that he carried in his back pack, a megaphone.

At the same time, he was developing a little bit of a crush on his partner, none other than delicate beauty Shannon MacAnna. And strangely enough, he started rolling wishes to talk, flirt, pillow fight.... even KISS her at one point.

However, that proved to be my undoing as I'd already filled up his wishes boxes and fulfilling those locked wishes was proving tougher than I'd anticipated.

Anyways, one wish popped up. To use the megaphone.

So, I thought, what better way to declare his love, than to shout it from the rooftops.

I just hope that Shannon isn't embarrassed by all of this.

I just want to tell you all, just how GORGEOUS my friend Shannon is.
She's got the most perfect face.
The sweetest smile ....

nobody's listening Austin.

.... she always has time for a laugh and.....

*phone rings*

Hello? Shannon?

Hi, sorry I didn't get back to you. That burglar we were tracking? I got him.

Oh, that's cool ... yeah. Did you use the handcuffs?

Of course I did. Slapped them on good and hard!!

Attagirl. Oh and by the way, is there any chance of trying them on me sometime?

I'll choose to ignore that one Austin.

Yeah, me too.

The reason behind his scorched apparel, was because once again, he wished to play around with the potions table. And once again, he was singed when it blew up in his face!!!
