Contessa and I have been spending quite a bit of time together. I can hardly wait to call her and envite her over everyday after work. All I think of all day at work is my sweet Contessa. Just seeing her makes my heart melt and all the problems of the day fade away. I tell you I have fallen for her hook, line and sinker. I sure hope she feels the same way about me. That evening I wasn't hungery but Contessa was starving. I made her a quick omlette and as she was eating I asked her if she felt comfortable enough with me to tell me all about her life and who Consort was in the scheme of things. Contessa told me that she was totally comfortable with me however she asked me to wait till the weekend so she could spend the day with me and explain everything at her own pace. More waiting! Waiting is so nerve racking, the weekend it is. Could her story be that complicated that she would need a whole day to explain! Later while we were snuggling on the couch she whispered in my ear: "Sonny I've fallen in love with you." I replied: "My sweet Contessa I love you too." "Now don't worry yourself too much before the weekend." "I'm sure whatever you tell me can't change how I feel for you." She hugged me and kissed me right on the neck! That kinda took me by surprise but I have to admit felt wonderful. Falling in love sure makes you feel different and tingly all over and my tummy feels like it is full of butterflies. Don't let my hands get sweaty. Sheesh, I would hate her to know how nervous I can get around her! When she left that evening a strange emptyness seemed to over take me. Now I know why they say "Parting is sweet sorrow." It's also for the birds! That night the Werewolf didn't stop by but another visitor did. The weekend finally came and I was back in my Contessa's arms. I must say it was quite a shock to see Consort coming up the side walk. What the heck is he doing here? When Contessa saw him she when right over to him. I turned away because I just couldn't stand seeing her give him a hug in greeting. I thought we were going to be alone. Contessa was saying she had lunch ready and we could all sit down to talk. Contessa stopped and turned to me. She put her hand up to my face in a sweet caress and said: "Please Sonny be patient with me, it will take both Consort and I to explain the past." I told her it was okay, I was just a little surprised we were not going to be alone. "Later." she said with a twinkle in her eyes. Before we could sit down to lunch Consort cornered me and said: "Now Sonny you and I have become friends, please let us both explain the curcumstances and if you care for Contessa I'm sure you will understand." "None of this was her doing, she is completely innocent and deserves your compassion in this." I had no idea what to think but told him I was all ears. As we ate lunch Consort began their story with: "At one time Contessa and I were married." I was taken aback by this statement but had decided to keep my thoughts to myself until their story was finished. He continued with: "We have four children and many greatgrandchildren between us." "One of our children Cordelia and her husband Caliban passed away in a terrible accident." "Not wanting our grandchildren to be without a home we had all three of them come to stay with us." Contessa was looking so nervous I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Well I guess their secret is out. A failed marriage, Consort continued: "Contessa was over wrought with the loss of our daughter and stepson." "Taking care of all the arrangements, the grandchildren and everything got to her more than I realized." "Sonny you're probably not going to believe what I tell you next but one morning I found Contessa laying of the floor and she was dead." Contessa seemed to freeze looking at me apprehensively. Somehow I knew what Consort had said was true, but how could this be? Good EA Sim God I thought looking up how could this be. Contessa dead? "Sonny please look at me while I try to explain what happened next." "As I said Contessa is completely innocent and if anyone is responsible for our perdicament it is my fault alone." "I have alway been somewhat privileged during my life and was used to getting my own way." Trying not to look over whelmed I listened intently. "Shortly after Contessa's passing our grandchildren left for University, little Juliette was the last to leave." "Without them in the house and all of them busy with there studies I hardly got a chance to see them." "I was so lonely and missed Contessa more than I can put into words." " I think I actually went a little insane and ranted and raved at the EA Sim Gods telling them I would get my own way." "I made a contact in the blackmarket and aquired an artifact that would help me get Contessa back from the grave." "Although it had red smoke pouring from the edges it was cool to the touch." "I picked it up and ordered: "Give me Contessa Capp back!" "The voice at the other end came out with a wicked laugh and said: "Well Consort that will cost you large." "I yelled: "Who are you and how do you know my name." The voice answered: "I know all whom will die and come through me to their rightful passage." "Are you sure you wish to upset the balance of life and death and have Contessa back?'' "If so a monitary donation to "The Betterment Of After Life Foundation" will be necessary." I was stunned: "An After Life Foundation?" "Fine take what you will." "Just give her back!" Again dark laughter over the phone that ended with: "It shall be done." At this point Contessa continued: "I know how shocking this must all be to you Sonny, I couldn't understand what was happening myself." "Oh please Sonny don't look at me as if I'm some sort of freak, I love you and am very conserned about how you feel." "If you would rather not continue in a relationship with me I'll understand!" Consort said: "Contessa give the poor guy a few moments to absorb what has been said before you jump to any conclusions about how he feels!" I really had no idea what to think or say. I picked at my food and tried to think it all through. I could tell they were both waiting to hear my thoughts but I sat in silence... Contessa had actually been dead, Consort had brought her back...Holy Crow isn't he the spoiled one...really with all my conversations with him I would have never thought he was like that. Still this doesn't explain enough. Why are they living apart and not married now? My silence broke as I questioned: "Consort I understand how you could have been so lonely having been alone myself but I don't understand how it is that the two of you are no longer married or living together. Contessa spoke up: "I think I can explain better than Consort could how it was when I first came back." "I truly felt lost and out of place, like my mind was made of cotton." "I didn't quite know what had happened to me but I knew everything felt wrong." "Consort was pleased he had gotten his way and came towards me to try to put his arms around me. "I felt disgusted and pushed him away." "Over the next few days and months my feelings didn't change." " I was not the same at all." I asked if they had figured out what caused the problem. Consort replied: "When I considered what I did that day I reazlied I asked to have Contessa back." "I didn't actually state to the person on that detestible artifact how I wanted her back, just give her back." "I was so willful and demanding I think it was decided by the EA Sim Gods that I needed to learn a lesson, so yes Contessa was returned but slightly changed." "Not only were we no longer married but I had no way to win her back because the love we shared during our time together had been stripped from her and she was not able to have those feelings towards me again." "I have to say that it has been very hard to go on from that point in our lives." Contessa confessed: "I had so manythings to re-learn, cooking, mechanical and well you know how it is." "Over time Consort and I realized we could be friends but I felt the need to move out on my own, so I bought this house and fixing it up and decorating has really helped me to come to terms with what happened." "There are still problems with the kids, they still aren't sure what to think of me." "I can't blame them for the way they feel, it is all so strange but my love for them has not been changed." "Thank goodness for small wonders that I was allow to keep that love." After lunch Consort cornered me again: "Sonny to be completely honest I wouldn't doubt you think me an utter fool for what I did." "What I want you to realize is that Contessa and I are friends now and I have no hold on her in anyway." "I know she has strong feelings towards you or she wouldn't have asked me to help her explain things to you." "Just understand this however Sonny, you make sure you are very good to Contessa." "I put her through hell with my self absorbed behaviour and if I hear tell that you have been unkind to her in anyway I swear I will take a round out of you." I assured Consort my feelings towards Contessa were pure and I would never do a thing to harm her. I think Consort was reasurred and I came away with a better understanding of him also. I mean it must of hurt like the dickens for him to realize Contessa wasn't his wife and couldn't love him anymore. He was trying his hardest to support her as a friend now and stop being the selfish being he had been in the past. He deserves a lot of credit for that. After our long discussion we all really needed to relax and unwind. Ahh I can feel the tension draining out of me...these hot tubs are wonderful. The rest of our conversation tended toward small talk. I mean after such an intense discussion small talk seened the way to go. Not long after Consort said he was worn out and need to go home. Contessa said good-bye and thanked him over and over again for his help and then jumped back in the tub with me... We snuggled and did very little talking. I think she wanted to allow me time to consider all that I had learned that day. As I left Contessa's house that evening I saw the Werewolf trotting up behind me. I was off through the portal as quick as could be. When I got home he hadn't followed me. Whew! An email from Little Seer: Dear Sonny, You are without a doubt one of my favorite Sims. Since you finished your Challenge I see you have increased all of your skills maxing quite a few of them. You even found love how exciting! I saw you were interested in emailing me. Just hit reply at the top of this email, type in what you wish to say and click Send. If I can help you with anything I will. Cheers, Little Seer Hit Reply: Little Seer, I have a great many questions and hope you could possibly answer a few for me. What the heck is up with the wolf following me? Thanks for mentioning my skills, I have really made an effort to improve all of them. I realize I am too old to go to University but I sure wish I could have. I have been wondering about something I noticed, why is it that other Sims don't seem to know about humans? Yes, Contessa is wonderful and I am very happy we have fallen in love. Although there have been surprises along the way I am enjoying my life more and more. Thanks Sonny. Now what....ah yes click Send...I guess I have to wait for her to get back to me now. Time for my morning routine. My first phone call of the morning and I'm in my favorite room. Glad I had the chance to wash up first. Hey how are doing? Feeling down are you Consort ...how about a joke...let me think now...Did you hear about the two female Aliens that were hooting it up in a Strangetown bar. Every so often one of them would yell "just three days" then they would cheers each other and drink a shot. When the Bartender asked what the two of them were celebrating one of them said... "We bought a jigsaw puzzle and just finished putting it together." "It said three to five years could do it on the box and we did it in "just three days!" Tee hee, oh think nothing of it Consort I am glad I could cheer you up a bit. You sold Capp Manor! Couldn't stand rattling around in all that space alone. So where have you moved to? You bought yourself a cabin. Well if you need any help or anything let me know. Did you know there is a on line Catalogue at TSR that has all manner beautiful of furnishings, delivery is free. Okay I'll let you go check that out. Talk to you soon. Email from Little Seer: Dear Sonny, About the wolf. I have no idea. I'm just taking the pictures when it comes around. On your question about other Sims I believe they are aware of humans. I say this because they will look up sometimes (I swear right into my eyes...spooky) and yell and curse about what they want. As I told you all my Sims have free will so sometimes it makes me laugh how they complain. I have even said out loud to them: "You have freewill, go for it!" Like they can hear me. I can be such a silly human. I have noticed when they are sleeping if you sneak up to see if they are dreaming they will roll over as if to say: "Hey I'm sleeping here, quit being so nosey!" So I think they are aware that humans are watching but it is their normal way of life. Because TSR invented you as a challenge to humans maybe you are more aware of us. I am happy you are in my computer and have the chance to enjoy your life. I think Contessa is wonderful for you and I was happy when the Gypsy Fortune Teller picked her for you. A three lightning strike attraction makes for a cute, loving, happy couple and a perfect match. Cheers, Little Seer Well what do you know about that Little Seer thinks I am more aware. She does seem to be genuinely happy for me. I don't really know what to think of humans but I do like having free will so I guess she's okay. Still that being fleshy part ewww it gives me the shivers. Time for work. Hi ya Herb...what's up today? Have you heard any new jokes? There was an Alien in a field sitting in a rowboat rowing. Another Alien happened to be driving by the field and saw this and slammed on their breaks and got out. That Alien yelled out to the other, "Hey you in the rowboat, you stop that rowing right now." "It's Aliens like you that make us all look dumb." "If I could swim I'd go out there and kick your butt." Hee hee good one Herb! Home again, after a hard day at work all that was on my mind was seeing Contessa. I get to missing her so much through the day. I got all spiffed up and asked Contessa out. I'm off to meet her now. Sheeh would you take a look on the sour puss look on that woman's face. I wonder if that's that Olive Specter from Strangetown. On her web site she did say she picks on everyone not just Aliens. I asked Contessa if that was Olive and she told me it wasn't. She asked me if I'd ever heard of a family in Pleasantville named Goth. I'd heard of Mortimer Goth, the one that is still looking for his wife. She told me this woman's name was Agnes Crumplebottom and she was related to Mortimer. When I asked what her problem was Contessa told me: "They say she is a few fries short of a Happy Meal!" "Oh Contessa!" "I can't believe you said that you wild little woman." I tickled her and she told me: "You think that's bad, they also say she's about a half a case short of a 24." "The elevator doesn't go all the way to the top." "There is no air to turn the windmill of her mind!" "But really, when she stares at you such a venomous look I can't help but think it's true." "Good EA Sim God she doesn't even know us!" After we went in the club we had our picture taken together. I got an extra set for Contessa. Contessa said she had never had her picture taken before and had to try getting some alone. It was nice to think the first time she ever had a picture taken was with me. We got the same table as we had for our first date. "Cheers!" We discussed what to have for dinner and decided on Filet Minion. It is nice making decisions together even if it isn't actually important. Dinner came so quickly we hardly had a change to discuss anything. I did get the chance to tell her a few of my thoughts through dinner. I told her how much I love the sparkle in her eyes, the soft shine of her hair, the way she smells... She said: "Oh stop Sonny your going to make my head swell!" She continued by telling me she thinks the world of me and that just seeing me makes her day so much brighter. She said she could hardly wait for the next time we met even as we part. That really touched my heart and I blew her a kiss. She gave me one heck of a smooch after dinner and it was as if everything around us faded away and we were totally alone. A slow dance later and I was somewhat nervous. I swear it is so hard to watch out for her little toes with my big feet... Really I was much more nervous about this. "Contessa I love you so much, more than you may know and more than enough to ask you this question." "Will you accept this ring as a token of my love and as a promise that we shall wed and live as one." I became worried for a moment that she was going to cry as her eyes glistened with tears of happiness, at least I hoped it was happiness and not that she would reject my offer. She seem to be in shock then she told me what a dear, dear man I was and how she loved me and the happiness we brought to each other. She jumped in my arms and spoke softly into my ear telling me she would be honoured to be my wife and would cherish each and everyday that we would spend together. My heart was filled with joy and relief that she had accepted me. Me old Sonny Day a TSR Challenge. I can't explain how special this woman makes me feel or how much I am looking forward to our Marriage. One last kiss before we part my love. I really wanted to ask her home with me but do you think the doggarn option button would come up for that! Sheesh! As I was leaving I saw Carmen and stopped to say Hi. That reminded me to ask her about her elixirs. I explained I was worried about a Werewolf that continually seemed to be stalking me. She said she had just the thing and that if I could influence the Werewolf enough he just might drink it and be cured. I thought it was amazing how it glowed. I got an extra one incase it didn't work. If I got bit I wouldn't want to risk my life with Contessa. Then I thought to thank her for introducing me to Contessa and told her that we were just now engaged. Carmen told me a little secret then... She had met Contessa not long after she had moved to her new house. They talked for quite awhile about Contessa's children and other some of the other twists and turns her life had taken. Contessa had asked her if she thought that one day she might meet someone special to take away the ache of lonelyness she felt in her heart. Carmen had told her she was sorry but the crystal was staying dark. It didn't mean there wouldn't be someone special for her just not then. Perhaps Contessa still needed more time to heal old wounds but she believed when the time was right it would glow brightly just for Contessa and a new love. After thanking Carmen for her time Contessa had gone back in the house with an aura of saddness clinging to her. So Carmen said anyway, me I've never seen an aura sad or other wise. Carmen does seem to know what she is talking about though. She certainly did a wonderful job of getting us together and I made sure I told her so. Carmen said it made her feel light as a feather for the small role she had been able to play in our meeting. I thanked her again and said goodbye. On the way to the car I saw that woman again. Holy Crow she sure looks like she has a mouth full of worms or something....a few fries short of a Happy Meal! ha ha Oh gosh I hope she didn't over hear Contessa and I talking about her, well if she did at least she has an excuse for looking so miserable. As I was getting ready for bed I was sure I heard someone outside. A single rose with a card...Dearest Sonny, You have swept me off my feet with your honesty and love. When next we meet let's snuggle as two turtle doves. Love Contessa Hmmm, well um lovely sentiment don't you think, tee hee, that beautiful little woman isn't a poet, don't you know it! Haa haa, Two turtle doves, doesn't that just knock your socks off! Well that's it for me time to go off to bed. Another visitor in the night. That will keep the wolf away. While I was sleeping and dreaming Contessa was back in the night. Isn't it amazing the huge items we can get out of a small bag like the one Contessa is sneaking away with. The card: Dear Sonny, I know this gift is huge, as is my love is for you. All My Love Contessa. Awww isn't that sweet. Good Morning, did you notice Bella is on the milk carton too. That poor Mortimer must be so lonely. Well folks here I am up on a bright sunny day....no pun intended. What will the future bring? I will try to keep you updated when I can. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you but with all my studies, work and all I've been very busy. I hope to be back to you very soon. As Little Seer say's Cheers!

    Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments.

    Kidnumber48 yes it is Bella on the milk carton. Next time one of your Sims is making something that uses milk put your game on pause and zoom in. I'm sure you will recognise her right away. You'd think if the Bella in Strangetown was the real one she would have seen her picture and called in about herself. Tee hee. There is a bunch of contraversy about that Bella being a fake the aliens cloned possibly? \:confused\:

    Magic1 I have an Asus Magic NVIDIA Geforce Fx 5200 video card that seems to work really well with my game, I suppose the gig of ram doesn't hurt either. In the game I have all the lighting and other setting set high. I also shut down all background tasks and go off line while I play. I pretty much pause the game everytime to get a good shot and zoom in take the shot. Turn it back on and freeze whenever I think it would make a good shot. Sometimes I have three shots of pretty much the samething then use the best one.

    I really appreciate all your comments. Thanks again. Cheers,\:\)
