I got the idea for this after watching a movie "Letters to Juliet" and hearing a lovely song in the soundtrack - "Love Story" by Taylor Swift. This is a stand-alone story, a "side project" of mine, and even though I used Veronaville characters for it, it has nothing to do with the storyline of "Veronaville Chronicles".

My biggest gratitude goes to custom content creators and to -kalisa- for letting me use her idea of story characters illustrating a song.

I suggest you read while listening to the song for the full effect :) I'm sure you can find it on youtube.

We were both young, when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts...
...I'm standing there. On a balcony in summer air.
I see the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello. Little did I know...
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase,
Begging you "please don't go"...
And I said:
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say "yes"!
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew,
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while...
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet"...
But you were everything to me,
I was begging you "please don't go"...
And I said:
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say "yes"!
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel!
This love is difficult, but it's real!
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say "yes"!
I got tired of waiting...
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading...
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said:
Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone!
I keep waiting for you, but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think...
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring!
And said:
Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone!
I love you and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress.
It's a love story, baby, just say "yes"!
We were both young when I first saw you...
 This didn't quite turn out the way I planned. I had better plans for the story... But apparently it's not easy to make the game work as you want it to, to match the idea. All my previous stories were mostly pictures of what happens naturally while playing, it's the first time I tried to use the game as a tool to create something what's in my mind. Now I admire all the amazing story creators even more, you are doing an incredible job out there.

Thank you all for reading, I hope you enjoyed it anyway :) I'm getting back to Veronaville Chronicles soon. I missed my sims!

    Aww that was so sweet! \:wub\: Hehe and I still believe that using lyrics of a song in sim-stories is not my idea \:D But, you're welcome! \:\) I loved the "I got tired of waiting" part - Juliette changing from teen to an adult, what a brilliant idea! \:D I love all the outfits and hairstyles! Great screenshots! And I know what you mean by stories not turning out the way we plan them \;\) TS2 is a stubborn game with all it's simmies \:D

    Fikcija. I don't know if it's meant like this or if it's an issue of the Story Section... Did you mean to have no text for the story telling? Underneath all the screens there was the same text as Screen number 1. Only the last screen showed that it didn't work out as you intended... \:D I think it must be a TSR issue. They are adapted everything to another format... so I'll come back later to see if there's text to this story... Hey... and congratulations for having it featured! \:cool\:

    Fikcija... I received your message in my gb and since then I tried twice to read this. But I still get the same text from screen 1 througout the whole story... saying what inspired you. Only the last screen has another text..... That it didn't turn out the way you planned. \:\(  I'm gling to look for fellow writers to see if they see the story alright... \:\)
