Chapter 9.2 - Love, Hate and Grief

Lidia has been working so hard on her sculpting skill. She is so creative. If she is not sculpting, she is painting or drawing.

Ever since her little rendezvous with Bobbie and the first kiss they shared together, Lidia has been spending a lot of her time with her new love, Bobbie Ashton. They have so much fun together just hanging out.

But it doesn't take long before things get hot and heavy between Lidia and Bobbie. There is some serious sparks flying between these two love birds.

They are loved up so much that Lidia invited Bobbie into the bedroom for her very first woohoo! Things are looking up for Lidia. She has a man that she loved in her arms and has an amazing job as a self employed sculptor that she enjoys.

Kurt on the other hand couldn't be any more different. With his heart breaker aspiration along with his inappropriate and mean spirited traits, he is having a hard time fulfilling one of his long term wishes, to find a girlfriend. Every night he goes out to bars to find girls to meet, but he always ends up sitting at the bar alone.

At least he will always have his music! Kurt is a virtuoso and gets so much enjoyment out of strumming a guitar or beating down on some drums. At least this blue spotted dog digs it!

After that first hang out session and woohoo with Bobbie, Lidia was super keen to see him again. They met up at a cabin at the top of the mountain and he looked smashing in his white suite. Lidia was keen to go for round two in the bedroom but before she had a chance to suggest this, Bobbie had to make a quick departure because he had a gig to attend to with his band. Damn!

I was just as excited as Lidia was to see woohoo roll up on her wishes a second time, because under wishacy rules, every second time a sim rolls woohoo, they can try for a baby instead! Unfortunately this was not the outcome this time around.

Lidia is really gaining some ground over Kurt in the relationship stakes, and Kurt isn't helping when he insults every woman he comes across. Not very nice Kurt!

After another unsuccessful night of finding love, Kurt takes on the Karaoke machine, and what is this? Another blue spotted dog seems to be into it. It seems Kurt may have better luck wooing dogs than ladies at this rate!

The following morning, Kurt wakes up in a horrid mood and he let his mean spirited nature out to of its shell by smashing Lidia's childhood dolls house!

Lidia just woke up to find the aftermath of Kurt's destruction. What could Kurt be so upset about she wondered?

Then she learnt the most horrible news. Leila, their mother and winner of generation one of the wishacy challenge has died of old age. Lidia can barely handle the grief and it seems Kurt has taken the news hard also.

Once Kurt left for work, Lidia was home alone, left to ponder on her thoughts as she made grilled cheese sandwiches. She could not shake the grief of the loss of her mother and needed to get out of the house and do something to occupy her time.

So Lidia decided it was a good idea to head over to Bobbie's house for another round of woohoo. Both distracting from her grief and fun at the same time! She just needed to spend some intimate time with someone she loves you know.

After work, Kurt could not find the same comfort, as he had nobody to love. As he walked around town, he would see lovely ladies and ponder his wanting aspiration. He doubted he would ever reach the gold he would aspire to let alone fine one girlfriend!

Because Kurt was feeling lonely and it was summer time, he decided he wanted to throw a pool party. Well they didn't have a pool...Luckily they had enough money so I added a lovely pool to their backyard for some pool party festivities! 

This was a big deal for Kurt throwing such a party but all the focus turned back on Lidia and Bobbie yet again, as Lidia was feeling frisky! 

Even an all out brawl in the living room between a mother and daughter could not steer her away from her wish to have another woohoo with Bobbie.

So here they were yet again, in the bedroom for the fourth woohoo, but even in that moment, her mother's death still plaguing her mind. 

After they did the dirty deed, Lidia and Bobbie strolled casually back out into the pool area where the party was at. Lidia could feel Kurt's eyes burrowing through the back of her head with disdain. 

Not only were they stealing his thunder from his pool party, Lidia was beating him in the relationships stakes and ahead of him in the race to become the winner of generation two. Kurt was not happy at all! Lidia and Bobbie were unfazed by his unimpressed taunts however. 

Despite his ill feelings towards his sister, Kurt's party was a success, but this still did not make him happy. As he waded in a pool full of people, he still felt desperately alone and wished that his mother and one true friend was here to be with him and comfort him.

Will poor Kurt ever find love? Will Lidia fall pregnant with Bobbie? Find out in the next chapter.

Chapter 8.2 - Love and Rejection

Kurt and Lidia are settling back into normal life again and Kurt has finally decided to get a job. He is now a playground monitor at the local school and hopes to move up the ranks and become a teacher.

Working at the school pays the bills but his true love and passion is music. He just loves playing his guitar every chance he gets.

Kurt has also been trying to socialise around town but so far his conversations have been falling flat. He never seems interested in listening to other's conversations and spends most of his time complaining.

Meanwhile Lidia has been working hard on her sculpting skill and job. She has been getting much better and has been producing some great and unique work!

She has been making good money selling her wooden sculptures directly and she has some old clay sculptures lying around which she thought she would have a go at selling at the consignment store. 

When Lidia arrived at the consignment store to sell her wares, she came across Bobbie Ashton. a peach skinned, aqua haired witch! Witches are hard to come by in this town, especially ones with such a unique hair and skin colour combination. She was instantly intrigued by him and struck up a conversation.

That conversation quickly lead to a friendship. She found out that he was in a band and he has similar creative interests to her. He was the first real friend she has made in town and soon enough they were hanging out every chance they could get.

They are so close that Lidia even feels comfortable telling Jake all about her family grievances and personal dilemmas. Jake is very quickly becoming the only man she feels comfortable sharing personal details with. In fact, he is her best friend!

Finally Spring has sprung and Love day has arrived. Lidia just had to visit the spring festival in town when she came across the kissing booth. She was in a romantic mood and considered getting her first kiss from a kissing booth.

She figured why not, so she went for it. She kissed a stranger in the kissing booth. Unfortunately i was quite underwhelming for her. 

As she wandered around the festival alone, she soon realised she would much prefer to spend love day with someone special, and that was Bobbie. She invited him to meet her at the festival grounds and as soon as she gazed upon him, her thoughts and feelings towards him suddenly began to grow to more than friends.

Bobbie also gazed upon Lidia with a longing glare, hardly feeling worthy of a woman as beautiful as Lidia and considered himself to be firmly in the friend zone. She was far too good for him, or so he thought.

They spend the day egg hunting around the festival grounds with a clear chemistry drawing them closer together, but so far their relationship did not venture further than friendship.

Kurt also has a special wish on Love day, to successfully flirt and kiss a woman in town on the most romantic day of the year. Unfortunately his inappropriate and mean spirited personality seemed to have an opposite effect.  

Far from charming, Kurt was actually off putting. I would hardly think that insulting a woman's family prior to a pick up line would ever be a good move.

Your mother looks like a llama! Sooo can I have your number?

He did manage to pull out just enough charm to successfully flirt and woo Ivy Cagle briefly, however he could not hold back his true colours long enough to keep the positive comments and pleasantness flowing.

Later that night after a very busy day, a burglar broke into the house and managed to steal the stove and Winford's old robot building machine while Kurt and Lidia were fast asleep.

To say that Kurt was upset about the burglary would be an understatement.

While Lidia has been busy at home working away on her painting and sculpting, her mind kept wandering to Bobbie. 

She could not get her thoughts off him and all of those thoughts were romantic ones, so she decided to act on them and invite Bobbie over.

Conveniently Lidia still happened to be dressed in her lingerie when Bobbie arrived. I think she certainly gave him the impression she was hoping for because they began openly flirting with each other straight away.  Bobbie could hardly believe Lidia was flirting with him!

As they kept flirting with each other, Lidia could not wait to kiss him. Her emotions were running so strong and fast in anticipation for that moment and then she finally did it. Lidia and Bobbie kissed and they instantly fell in love. Lidia only wished that she had not given her first kiss away to that kissing booth and that she had saved her first kiss for her first love instead. 

While Lidia's finding new love with Bobbie, Kurt is desperately alone, trying to make friends in town. Instead he sings sad ballads in a karaoke bar by himself, wondering if he will ever find someone to love and care for.

You may have noticed that Disco is not in this chapter. I decided to move her out of the house so all focus will be on our two heirs. Hopefully Disco will find happiness out there somewhere.

Will the love between Lidia and Jake grow? Will Kurt ever make friends and find love? Lets wait and see. 

Chapter 7.2 - Making Time for Study & Friends

It has become quite obvious recently that Kurt enjoys getting his kit off and wear only his underwear around the house to do anything and everything such as have a spontaneous dance with a room mate...

Poking a bon fire in his tighty whiteys...

 Jamming on his guitar in his undergarments....

As well as getting into arguments and insulting people. In fact, insulting people seems to be one of his favourite past times. This social taboo is making it quite hard for him to make friends.

That was until he met his room mate Cid Serverus who was just as angry and insult filled as he was. Cid was the only person who could handle Kurt's complains and insults, and not only would he take them, he would throw them right back at him with just as much vigour.

Sure it is a bit of a tumultuous friendship that constantly flicks between friendly banter and anger fuelled insults, but somehow it works for them!

Kurt however is not the only one that has been having a hard time making friends. Lidia has been busy sculpting and studying instead of socialising and feels like a bit of an outcast at times.

She didn't fully realise how much of an outcast she was from her peers until a fellow class mate started beating her up after class for no reason and no one bothered to come and help.

Lidia was physically and emotionally hurt by this random act of violence on her. She could not believe that something like this could happen at such a prestigious university.

But her pain quickly turned to anger. She was now more determined than ever to achieve her goals at university and she figured she should probably try and make some friends along the way.

While Lidia sits in her classes taking notes begrudgingly....

Kurt uses class time to catch up on sleep

When Kurt finally wakes up in class, he raises his hand to ask questions in a panic, realising he just slept through his entire class and all of the information he needs to pass his exams

Lidia and Kurt also have many practical tasks to take part in. Lidia recently took part in a day of drawing outdoors.

Meanwhile, Kurt's class decided to take their brain scanning experiments outdoors which resulted in this very strange sight out the front of the comic book store.

In the last few days of term, Lidia came across Walter Fullman in the dormitory and decided to strike up a conversation. To her surprise, the two of them clicked straight away and they had a lot in common. 

They soon became friends and she was delighted that she finally had a friend to hang out with in the dormitory that she could relate to and get along with.

The last day of term finally arrived and Lidia decided to cook a lovely meal for all of the room mates as a nice gesture, however it all ended in disaster when the kitchen caught fire.

Well that is certainly one way to end the term with a bang. Probably not the kind of last impression Lidia had hoped to leave behind.

To Lidia's delight, all of her hard work paid off as she received A's in her final exam. Kurt on the other hand received C's on his report card, but he was hardly surprised considering his lack of study habits. 

Now it was time to come home, where they were immediately greeted by their robot Disco who is in a constant state of malfunction as usual.

Will Lidia and Kurt pursuit their lives and careers back in town or will they head to University again to finish their degree? Will they make more friends and potentially find love? Lets wait and see.
