Sims 3: Family Moments: Sims 3 The Wards (part 44)

Zawadi takes a few more steps before she realizes that she has absolutely no idea where she’s going. Her initial plan was to leave the island by herself, but now that she’s met Mitchell, that plan no longer seems important. She stops to think about her next move.

Meanwhile Miles is at the park finishing up his jam session for the day. He receives a text message from Sephora, ‘Zawadi is having a bad day again. We really need to do something!’ He detects urgency in Sephora’s message.

He suddenly has an idea of what Zawadi may need. He and Sephora have no plans of giving Zawadi a sibling, but maybe there is something else they can do to help her feel less lonely and help occupy some of her time.

Again, Zawadi begins walking, but her mind is on Mitchell. She just can’t get that smile out of her mind.

She considers heading to town, or maybe even going to the park to find her father.

All of that sounds ok, but right now she’d rather be at home thinking about the cute boy with the mesmerizing smile.

Miles has a few hours to kill before work. He’s starving, but doesn’t want to spend the time it’ll take to go all the way home. He heads to the beach diner instead.

Zawadi turns around before she makes it all the way to town. Heading back home will force her to pass Mitchell’s house, maybe she can get another look at him.

Unfortunately, Mitchell is not outside when she passes his house again. She slowly walks up her walkway sulking.

Zawadi doesn’t want to run into her mother at home. She heads to her only safe spot, her bed.

Zawadi lays back on her pillow thinking about her upcoming prom. She considered not going, because she didn’t want to go alone. Now that she’s met Mitchell, maybe he’d want to attend prom with her.

Miles follows through on his plan for Zawadi after texting Sephora back and forth about the idea while at the diner. He visits the local pet store.

Miles walks in; checking the modest selection of small pets.

He knows that Zawadi wouldn’t be interested in turtles, snakes and the like. He needs something bigger.

Miles walks up to the counter to inquire about purchasing a dog. The clerk informs him that there are no dogs on site, but if Miles gives him an idea of what he’s looking for, he could have one sent in from the mainland.

Miles complies, picking out a small dog that he’s sure Zawadi would love. Miles also orders the necessary supplies to be delivered to the house just before the new Ward family pet arrives. Satisfied, Miles leaves and heads to work.

At home, Zawadi emerges from her bedroom to watch TV.

As Sephora enters the room, Zawadi refuses to acknowledge her presence.

Sephora remembers what it was like being a teen, but the knowledge does not help ease the pain that Zawadi is causing her.

Sephora is convinced that her daughter hates her.

She can feel her anxiety increasing, but manages to hold it all in and continue preparing dinner.

Miles calls her up to let her know that the items for the new dog are scheduled to be delivered. He instructs her to hide everything and wait to set it up after Zawadi is asleep.

Sephora agrees to her part in the plan. She’s tempted to tell Miles how Zawadi is treating her, but decides against it. Maybe this new dog can help improve their relationship.

Sephora lets Zawadi know that dinner is ready. Without a word, Zawadi walks over and grabs her plate.

Matching Zawadi’s silence, Sephora walks over and grabs her own plate. The tension in the air is thick and heavy; weighing on their shoulders.

The feeling stresses Sephora, but gives Zawadi and her rebellious mood satisfaction. Zawadi pushes it further by standing in the middle of the room with her plate of spaghetti, eating.
