This is Silver Moonstar. She is a big fan of the Charmed television show. Silver is a grown woman, over 21 years of age. She pursued a career in journalism, with a minor in photography. She dabbled in art and didn't know where she was going career-wise. Silver needed to start fresh, someplace new. After her dad died and left her his old red pickup truck, she decided to take the plunge -- and found herself in Strangetown.

This is Silver Moonstar. She is a big fan of the Charmed television show. Silver is a grown woman, over 21 years of age. She pursued a career in journalism, with a minor in photography. She dabbled in art and didn't know where she was going career-wise. Silver needed to start fresh, someplace new. After her dad died and left her his old red pickup truck, she decided to take the plunge -- and found herself in Strangetown. Silver bought her house with money she had saved (along with the inheritance from dear old dad) and started to obtain bits and pieces of beautiful artwork, furniture and antiques that kind strangers had dropped off at the local Goodwill. She had fun hunting for that perfect piece, that perfect wallpaper, that perfect color, and soon things began to fall in place for her tiny (but all hers) home. Now she found herself on a Saturday night, alone, carefully cleaning her new Mexican kitchen counters she just got installed. When she wasn't cleaning and hunting for something adorable for her home, she was learning how to cook, her favorite hobby. But eating alone was getting old quick. She needed to reach out to her neighbors. Her third night there, she got a knock from the neighborhood welcome wagon. Her eyes met with the intense blonde man and they immediately locked. Instant chemistry. Suddenly shy, Silver decided to observe the conversations going on with the mohawked man and the darkhaired woman. The one with the Mohawk went by a tagname of "Nervous". Silver found that interesting. The brunette was named Dana, and she was a newbie in town, a recent transplant from the big downtown area just like Silver. They had never met before but she seemed very nice. Dana asked Silver where the bathroom was, and Dana pointed to the ornate door nearby. Dana excused herself and the blonde man held Nervous and Silver's attention talking about UFO's, strange disappearances, and justice. Momentarily distracted by Dana, Silver thought he was talking about justice for aliens. The blonde man radiated charisma despite his strange rantings about some supposed evidence of a UFO that had crashed nearby and was partially covered. Silver remained the polite host. After saying goodbye to everyone, it got Silver thinking. Maybe meeting the neighbors wasn't a good thing. She checked her emails and found that no one in the city was looking for her, which was just as well. Silver found her fingers reaching for the mouse and clicking onto the internet to find out about any weird things going on in Strangetown. She found nothing. Odd. "There's news and information on every city," she thought. Why not Strangetown? She decided to give the research a break and typed some notes on what she would look at in the near future. She found herself stuck. She took a page out of the Artist's Way and committed herself to writing about anything, three pages' worth, daily. She would not focus on any negative thoughts that might pop up, and just wrote whatever came to her. This was to help break her out of the writer's block and keep her creativity flowing. Silver was a struggling writer. She was trying to write her first novel. "The Great American Novel," she thought. Yup, no pressure. Since her house was relatively fixed up and comfortable, she figured it was time to hit the streets and check out downtown. A knock at the door had Silver face to face with a strange gypsy woman. She had a huge crystal ball that appeared as if by magic from the many folds of her colorful dress. "Can I help you find your true love, my dearie?" asked the toothless wonder standing in front of Silver. Silver was speechless, but handed over some money for some of the trinkets the gypsy had, such as a "love potion" that glowed pink and something that sounded like vampires...but no, that couldn't be! Vampires didn't exist! The old woman nodded, and said, "You are a lovely young girl. Surely you aren't lonely." Silver humored the old woman, and asked her to help her find a date. The gypsy happened to know of a handsome highly ranked military officer who also happened to be single. Silver could not believe her luck. She gave a huge tip to the gypsy and sent her on her way so she could have this hunk of a man all to herself. He mentioned his last name was Buzz. Master Sargeant Buzz. "Gosh, he looks so dreamy in his uniform," Silver thought. She hurriedly made her special dish of spahgetti and meatballs from scratch. "This is mighty nice of you, ma'am." said Master Sargeant Buzz. He asked her how everything went with her moving in. She noticed his eyes scan the room as they ate. "My name is Silver, you don't need to call me ma'am," Silver said gently. God he was gorgeous...and so polite! It was so nice to speak to a man with manners. "Do you live here alone, ma'am -- I mean, Silver?" asked Buzz. "Yes, I do. Why?" "No worries, Miss Silver. Our military is the best of the best. We take care of our town and we take care of our own." His steely gaze met hers and she melted. "There's not a safer town around," Buzz continued, "We have the lowest crime rate of any city." "Something like that would be reported everywhere, wouldn't it?" Silver asked, casually. "Well, we don't like to toot our own horn," said Buzz, "It's kind of rude to brag and we don't want anyone challenging us to find out how safe we truly are." Buzz smiled at her. "What is your name?" she asked. "Master Sargeant Buzz, ma'am, I mean, Miss Silver," was the answer. "Oh, yes, of course. You MUST have a first name, yes?" Silver asked. Buzz stayed silent for a second. "That information's confidential, ma'am. But you can call me Buzz." Their dinner date soon came to an end. "I must be on my way, Miss Silver. Dinner was delicious and you are a delight. A welcome addition to our town." He looked her as if satisfied with what he saw. He held out his hand and she took it but then on impulse gave him a big hug. "Thank you for everything you do for our country," she whispered adoringly. What Silver said touched Buzz. He looked at her and saw her shining adoring lonely eyes. "Why thank you Miss Silver," he said softly. Silver and Buzz had a wonderful kiss goodnight before Buzz headed back to base. "No more lonely nights!" sang Silver aloud after watching him go. She happily cleaned up the kitchen. She met so many interesting people so far and found a very interesting man. Silver slept like a baby. She awoke to find that sometime during the night Buzz left her a note in her mailbox thanking her for dinner and "look forward to seeing you again real soon." She ate breakfast practically floating on air. She decided to call him and invite him over. Tonight might just be his lucky night. He asked if he could bring someone over, which took Silver aback a little. But she did not say no. "Sure," she said, hoping she sounded warm and casual. He arrived looking handsome in that uniform. No sooner had Silver introduced herself to his "friend" named Olive, she excused herself and stepped into the house, happily humming a tune as she prepared dinner for the three of them. She didn't notice why Buzz was so stiff and quiet at the door and just assumed it was part of his "military way." Little did she know, Buzz and Olive were starting a heated argument outside. Anyone passing Silver's house would see these two people getting into a heated discussion. Olive stared Buzz down. "She has a right to know, Buzz, you know it!" said Olive. "You have no place and no authority to speak on anybody's behalf, woman. You keep quiet." answered Buzz. "If I don't?" Olive glared. "You don't want to know the answer to that, Olive. Leave things alone." "That poor girl--" said Olive. Buzz lowered his voice and said menacingly, "You shut up woman if you know what's good for you." Olive snorted and walked deliberately past Buzz. Olive was not afraid of him. Buzz inwardly seethed as Silver graciously placed an extra platter of food for Olive. "Oh my, this smells delicious!" exclaimed Olive. Olive completely ignored Buzz as he stood and glared at her. Olive distracted Silver by asking her about her interests and hobbies. Olive made sure to state how incredible the meal was. Silver was touched. "Buzz, why don't you have a seat? Why are you still standing there?" Olive demanded. Silver went over to Buzz to ask what was wrong. "Oh, you just leave Buzz there, honey, that's just Buzz, bein' all theatrical. Don't mind him." was all Olive said as she ate. "Is everything OK?" Silver asked Buzz. "I've...just had a really long day, actually. I'm just a little tense." Buzz said calmly. Silver looked at Olive who didn't even glance up from her plate then back at Buzz. "You know...I'm a great massager, I'm certified and everything. I think you need one of my special ones, how about it?" Silver said softly. Buzz said, "Well, Miss Silver, I don't rightly know..." but soon was relaxing under Silver's expert soothing hands. Olive soon finished her meal and excused herself to use the restroom. Buzz had relaxed considerably. "Miss Silver, that was amazing..." he kissed her gently on the mouth. "Thank you, I needed that." Buzz said, sounding much better. "I'm glad. Dinner's waiting." Buzz smiled and they were soon eating. Olive had retired to the living room where Silver's new plasma television was waiting. Buzz and Silver kept polite conversation, but Silver couldn't help but direct the conversation to Olive and what her relationship to Buzz was. She offered Buzz a bite of her food and strangely Buzz turned her down. Silver thought the meal was fine, didn't Buzz think so too? But Buzz had lost his appetite. Silver was asking one too many questions about Olive. Buzz got up and went into the living room where Olive had been watching t.v. "Old woman, I told you to keep your mouth shut," whispered Buzz. "Didn't I tell you not to say anything stupid? Why would you embarrass me in front of Miss Silver?" Buzz seethed. "I told you to come clean, fool. You think you can get away from me, but you won't lose me so easy, honey. She needs to know the truth!" Olive walked towards him but he pushed her back. Silver was by the doorway when she saw Buzz push the old woman Olive. What was going on here? she wondered. She walked into the room. "What's going on?" Silver asked, hoping her voice didn't sound wobbly. Olive was sobbing, "She needs to know!" "Don't listen to her, honey," Buzz was all smooth and loving. It was the first time he called her anything besides Miss Silver. It made her nervous. "She's an old woman who is up past her bedtime, she tends to get emotional and cranky when she skips naps," explained Buzz. Silver managed to say goodnight to Olive before Buzz quickly ushered the old woman out and sent her home in a waiting cab. "Okay, Buzz, what's going on here? Why were you so mean to Olive?" asked Silver. "What are you talking about? She was tired, I sent her home. She's an old lady, and I'm sorry I brought her by. I didn't want to get you upset." Buzz said. "Things are just not making a lot of sense to me here," said Silver, "You tell me that you're bringing someone over, and then proceed to treat that person like garbage," countered Silver. "Oh, honey, that's not true...I'm just having a bad day, and I'm sorry, really." soothed Buzz. "How come I can't find anything about Strangetown online?" Silver blurted out. "I looked online, which the Internet, it has like, everything on everybody, right? Why not anything on Strangetown? Don't you find that...well, strange?" she asked. Buzz studied her and seemed like he was listening. "Why are we talking about this town when we could be talking about us?" he asked softly. He clicked on the stereo and began to twirl her around and dance wildly, something she didn't expect to see in a military man who seemed so stiff, so formal. "Silver, I want to take you dancing, let's forget this whole thing and start afresh, you and me, honey, what do you say?" Buzz' eyes got wild looking, his pupils dilated, he was smacking his lips. But he just ate, Silver thought. She turned off the music. "I can't hear myself think," she said. "Good, let's go and dance some more, and on to your bedroom..." said Buzz, as he pulled the good soldier act on her. "Silver, ever since I met you, I can't control my desire for you. I want more." "What about Olive?" "Honey, you are all that matters. You are sweet, beautiful, and you are the one I want to get to know better. Don't you want to get to know me better?" "I think we should slow things down, Buzz. I didn't like what I saw tonight." Silver said, glancing at a broken nail. How'd that happen? "I'm just going into the restroom. I hope by the time I get out that you've changed your mind," said Buzz confidently, and excused himself. Silver sat down, wondering at his sheer audacity. Yes, she wanted him in her bed, she wanted to feel his hands on her body and caress her. Claim her as his. Yet...as he entered the room, she wondered, who IS this man she barely knows? They sat uncomfortably on opposite ends of the couch. There was a brief silence. Buzz waited. Silver sat. Buzz turned on the plasma television. "Can't we talk about this, Buzz?" Silver asked, "We need to talk about what happened tonight and the television is just a distraction." Buzz didn't answer her but casually flicked channels. "You are a military officer, why are you acting like an overgrown child?" Silver asked in frustration, "TALK to me, Buzz!" Buzz turned off the television set. "You know why I'm here, Silver. We both want each other, and I don't think we should waste time talking about old people." answered Buzz. "That sounds so...cold." said Silver. "Honey, I want you. Now. Don't you want me to kiss you? I promise, it's just a bad day, and you can make it all better. I want us to get together. You do too." pressed Buzz. "You're NOT listening! I didn't like how you treated that poor old lady! How DARE you do that in MY house and EXPECT some kissing? Are you really that dense? Look, just GET OUT of my home, I don't want to look at you right now!" shouted Silver, surprised at herself. "Is this what you want? To ruin a perfectly good night? You're overreacting!" yelled Buzz. She showed him the door and after a parting shot of him calling her crazy and a tease, he left her house in a huff. Silver found herself shaking in anger. She went and cleaned up the kitchen and made sure to lock the door and check that the security system was working. She took a shower and got into bed. Thoughts of what happened earlier that night danced in her dreams. Silver thought, "That gypsy woman sure has a LOT of explaining to do."

    I can answer the gypsy question! If your sim is single (no husband or wife) then the gypsy will come automatically but if not then just click on your sim phone then services then matchmaking services.
    Please try turning your picture quality up. They were a bit fuzzy. Edw xxx
