Phoebe's World XVIII
Previously: The seeds of sibling rivalry were planted as Elliot survived the monster under the bed to hit up more inappropriately-aged girls and Aisha grew up into an adorable toddler. A (death-free) party at the Bluffs proved Phoebe might finally be running out of steam.
Elliot invited the alien girl he briefly met last time home from school with him. Her name is Mia, and she's no sexy teenager, but Elliot looks pretty proud of himself anyway. Mia, on the other hand, looks like she may be regretting her decision to accept his invitation.
Ah, yes, a perfectly innocent game of Don't Wake the Llama. Nothing bad can happen here, right?
Elliot is absolutely overjoyed to watch the llama tumble ungracefully from its pedestal on Mia's turn.
Mia: Hey, didn't you ever hear you're always supposed to let the girl win?
Elliot: You can still win... A KISS!
Mia: Ugh, gross, are you out of your mind? No way, freakazoid!
I think Aisha is a little jealous that her brother is showering so much attention on someone other than her. By the way, is it really safe for a toddler to be out on an upstairs balcony with no adult supervision? Phoebe? Aahana? Where are you?!?
Unfortunately, Elliot had to pump the breaks on his quest for puppy dog love to work on a school project. He looks beyond thrilled, truly.
With a little help from his mom, he comes up with this pretty okay model of the solar system.
Elliot, goddamn it! Stop chasing older women! You'll have plenty of time for all that later.
Unsurprisingly, the house has been decked out in Love Day decorations for days now thanks to Elliot and his one-track mind. Take a look at some of his handiwork:
Obsessed much?
Meanwhile, Aisha is trying to show off her creativity, too, but in that aggravating way where she just throws paint all over the floor and continuously ignores her parents' firm requests for her to stop.
They're absolutely not messing around with the potty-training this time around, though. Aisha will learn not to go in her diaper. Aahana even models sitting on the toilet for extra encouragement.
Poor girl, having to learn how to use the big girl potty and not make a mess of her bedroom all in one day. She's really got it rough, hasn't she?
Aahana is slowly making her way up the gardening ladder. I feel like her pay raises are so disproportionately low compared to Phoebe and Jane's, but, then again, gardening isn't a particularly glamorous career, so I suppose it makes sense. She's not in it for the money anyway.
She tries to start instilling a love for the outdoors in Elliot by engaging him in a mud fight, which I'm not really sure is the best approach. I don't think mud in the eye is going to go over very well.
Aahana thinks it's absolutely hilarious, though.
Told you so. Elliot is uncomfortably wet and not at all amused.
All right, Nico, why not? I was going to say he doesn't strike me as the bar-hopping type, but I can see how Ghost Night might tempt his scientific brain.
Phoebe: Oh, fuck, is that Melinda? Do you think she remembers how she died? Oh my God, it was all my fault. She's going to kill me!
Phoebe: Hopefully, she won't see us. Just don't draw any attention our way. Play it cool.
Nico: *through gritted teeth* I am playing it cool. Doesn't it look like I'm cool?
She must be recalling the chill of the icy water just before she slipped into unconsciousness. This is dark.
Nico: As long as I don't say anything, everything will be fine, right? Everything will be fine!
DUN-DUN-DUN!
Look at him. He looks so smug about it. He's totally faking this picky eater thing for more attention, isn't he?
Elliot: Let me just get rid of all this disgusting crap in the fridge real quick.
Phoebe: Excuse me, young man! That food is perfectly fine!
Elliot: Ugh, this is vile! I think I might vomit! Doesn't anybody know how to cook around here?
Elliot: Good old peanut butter and jelly! Now that really hits the spot!
Phoebe: You want vile? Oh, I'll give you vile. Wait until you get a taste of this stuff!
All of this rain lately may be helping Aahana's garden grow, but the resulting mud puddles are a major inconvenience when she's trying to harvest her crops.
She's not going to let a silly mud puddle or two keep her down for good, though, and it looks like Aisha may already be a budding gardener herself!
If only she would stop defacing the house with paint at every opportunity, though. Where is she even finding all that stuff? Elliot's not going to be very happy if his craft table has to be confiscated just to keep her out of the supplies!
Another promotion for Jane...
And Phoebe, who has officially made it to the top of her career track! Wow, it's so exciting to watch my girls succeed.
It's finally, actually Love Day, and Phoebe is super jealous that Jane and Joaquin get to act all lovey-dovey around the house while she has to take care of a toddler and wait for her wife to get home from work.
Phoebe: Don't mind me. Just cleaning up after my disobedient daughter while you two exchange flowers like a couple of love-struck kids, which, by the way, is definitely not adorable at all.
Hmm, I'm somehow not surprised that Elliot used Love Day as an opportunity for a grand romantic gesture. He probably would have rather had every girl in class fall in love with him as a result, but this outcome isn't too shabby either.
Finally, Aahana is home from work, Jane and Joaquin are babysitting the children, and a relaxing Love Day dinner date can begin!
The food was fine, but I think they just wanted to use it as a prelude to making out with each other.
I can't blame them. They're the Sim world's cutest couple, after all, and it's good to know the chemistry is still there.
