Sims 3 The Wards (part 52)

 Zawadi arrives at school. Trying not to be obvious, she causally searches the hallways for Mitchell and Michael.  Not spotting them right away, she walks to class disappointed.

 At home, Sephora gets an opportunity to spend a little time with Dazzle. 

 While Miles heads to the park to play for tips.  His goal is to pay back the advance as soon as possible so that the family can begin to build a savings.

 While Sephora cleans the kitchen, she can’t help but admire the new improvements that Mile’s advance was able to help them make to the home.

 Still, she’s anxious as she writes checks for bills that wouldn’t exist if Miles did not take the advance.

 She returns the bills to the mailbox, praying that Miles is able to do what it takes to secure the family’s financial future.

 She retreats to the garden to keep her mind from wandering and worrying.

 At the park, Miles has drawn some flirty female attention.

 Knowing that warding off the females will be a big part of managing his career, he does what he can to not lead any of the ladies on.

 But, he’s human and cannot help but be flattered as the ladies smile and tell him how much they love his music.

 Sephora heads to the grocery store to get new seeds for her garden. 

 Back at home, she works hard at planting and fertilizing her new crops.

 School has ended for the day.  Zawadi wasn’t successful at locating Mitchell and Michael during the school day.  It’s not until the end of the day that she’s sure that they have in fact enrolled at the local high school.

Her pulse increases when she finally spots Mitchell heading for the door soon after the dismissal bell has rung.

 Her attempts to catch up with them is thwarted by crowds in the hallway. 

When she’s finally able to navigate through, Mitchell and Michael are gone.  She turns and heads to her art club.

 Zawadi finishes up dinner and walks into her bedroom just as her phone rings.  Checking her caller ID, she sees that it’s Mitchell calling.

 

 As soon as she answers the phone, Mitchell’s excited voice drowns out her greeting.  “Michael agreed to attend the local high school!”  He says, just short of shouting.

“You’re attending school with me?”  Zawadi asks just to be sure.

“Yep!  See you tomorrow!” Mitchells says.  Zawadi’s heart flutters at the news.

 

 Meanwhile, Sephora and Miles sit down to enjoy leftovers. 

“I think our daughter is in love,” Miles announces.

 

 “What?”  Sephora asks, although she heard exactly what Miles said.  “What…how do you know?”

 

 “She told me that the prom was coming up.  I asked her about a date and it was written all over her face,” Miles explains.

 

 “Oh God!”  Sephora sighs, not ready to deal with Zawadi dating.

“Exactly,” Miles mumbles, totally relating to Sephora’s dismay.

 

 Sephora steps outside to bring in the freshly dried laundry and to think.  Prom? Dating?  How could all of this be happening so fast? She asks herself.

 

 Meanwhile, Zawadi lies in bed, just about to fall asleep, content that she’ll get to see Mitchell at school tomorrow.

That night in bed, Sephora and Miles lie awake chatting.  “So what do we do about this prom?” Miles asks.

Sephora thinks for a moment before answering.

“We’re going to have to allow ourselves to grow up as parents, because she’s growing up whether we do or not.”

“Yeah, but we’re talking about boys here.  Is she ready to deal with the emotions that comes along with that?”

“We’re just going to have to be her guide…you know, show her what true love looks like,” Sephora answers thoughtfully.

“But how do we do that?”

“Well…” Sephora says in a suggestive tone.

“Oh no…she doesn’t need to know about that,” Miles says responding to Sephora’s tone.

She moves over and cuddles closer to Miles and giggles, “That’s not what I mean…besides I think we’ve done a good job of showing her how to love so far.”

“Well…maybe you can show me again, just so I can be sure,” Miles says seductively.

Miles and Sephora undress and slide under the covers…

Early the next morning, Dazzle makes her way into Zawadi’s bedroom.

She entertains herself by growling noisily and chewing on Zawadi’s bedroom rug.

Dazzle’s noisy play, wakes Zawadi.

Zawadi spots Dazzle tearing at the rug.  “Stop Dazzle!” She scolds in a firm voice.  Dazzle growls softly.

Dazzle runs outside after being scolded and chews on her dog bone instead.

By the time the school bus arrives, Zawadi is wide awake.  She runs to the bus excited to see Mitchell again at school.

She sits in her seat, willing the bus driver to drive faster.  She wants to be the first face that Mitchell and Michael sees as they enter the school.

As usual, the bus creeps along.  Zawadi sits back in her seat feeling defeated.  Surely she’ll miss them as they arrive at school.  But, maybe they’ll share a class.

The bus pulls up at school.  Zawadi hops out of her seat and hurries into the building, looking for her new friends as they arrive on their first day of school.
