First day off of the hols and I bring you update! Am so kind!! ;D Hehe
However,
WARNING!! It is
very picture heavy! I was going to split it into 2 updates like I did with Josh... but decided it read better left as one... So, here goes!!
Back at the Blossom Hills asylum... and "who is going to be next to leave??" I hear you wonder... or maybe not since it's probably quite obvious that Camille needs all the time in there she can get! And so the next sim looking for somewhere to live is Aston...
As he's flicking through the newspaper looking for a modest-sized apartment (not as many savings as he'd hoped...) Leon joined him on the sofa...
"Please take me with you! I can't take living with all these ghosts anymore!! And who knows when they're
gonna let mum leave?!"
Aston loves his son, so it's an easy decision. As Camille waves goodbye...
(Bless her, all alone now..)
They both hop into a taxi off to their new life!
And this is where it begins! Their apartment block downtown...
Aston signs them up for the top-floor apartment...
(Recognise the land-lady?!)
And here it is!
Sadly for Leon, it's only 1 bedroom, so he's sharing with Aston for the time-being, but it's got to be better than sharing with the ghosties of the asylum!
And they need the space for a fold-up bed in the living room so they can have a room-mate join them.
(Aston can barely afford the rent, especially with no job yet!)
So after a quick dip in the basement pool...
Hellooo Neighbour!
Aston looks for a room-mate...
And here he is!
Interesting looking fellow...
Seems nice enough though!
Welcome to the apartment Jason.
But after a little maths (with some help from Leon since he's doing well in school now!) Aston realises he is definitely going to have to get a job, even with a room-mate he can't afford the party life-style he wants and keep a roof over his and Leon's head... A quick scan of the newspaper though shows there is an opening in a career that seems perfect for him!
Surely that'll be fun, not work!
He doesn't have to work that evening though, so after making sure Leon is settled, Aston and his room-mate hit the town to celebrate their first night in their new apartment!
And Aston tries his luck at poker...
It's not quite the good time he's looking for though!
So the next night they hit the local karaoke spot...
Woo go Aston!!
He spent the night singing on his own though...
Seems Aston's room-mate isn't quite the party animal companion he was hoping for!
He won't even have his picture taken with him...
Or join in putting suds in the fountain outside!!
Hehehe...
Despite having his first day at work the next day...
Aston hit the town especially hard when he got in!
It was late and it took a lot of persuading for Jason to join him, but welcome DJ ASTONNN! Woooo!
Err.. are you sure that's a good idea??
Woah go Aston!
He was slightly dizzy when he got off though, and questioned whether it was a good idea after all!
Careful making that gesture though Aston! You don't want people to know where you spent the last few sim
years...
Early the next morning Aston was up and socialising again! Meanwhile his room-mate was dead to the world...
Wonder if he's regretting moving in with Aston yet?!
After he eventually manages to drag himself out of bed and get to work though, the visitor Aston was speaking to comes round...
Oh dear....
Oh dear!! Aston Nooo!
But he decides to take advantage of the fact he has the apartment to himself since Leon is at school...
Tut!!
Camille is dressed to greet Leon when he gets home though...
But after a quick conversation about some new shoes she's just bought she makes her excuses and leaves...
Obvious who she came to visit!
A few minutes later Aston also leaves for work... and that evening he comes home with a promotion!!
Well done Aston!
He runs upstairs to grab Jason and a taxi but on his way.. comes across Jason and a fellow resident of the block outside the first floor aparment!
Oh dear!!
So he heads out to town on his own tonight...
Which isn't really a great idea since he's lonely.. and so decides to find some company... in a sim named Marie...
Yikes!
And err.. maybe not the best first choice of conversation Aston!!
She doesn't seem very impressed! *gulp*
After changing the conversation to ice-cream though, they worryingly soon seem to be getting on like a house on fire!
However, Aston decides to make a hasty exit when she starts waving her wand around!!
As he comes home alone, a lonely Aston puts his photo up on the wall to try and cheer himself up...
The next day before work, Aston takes a trip to a local internet cafe to check his emails. He hasn't heard from his fellow asylum buddies for a while... and it is soon apparant why! Although he has some emails in his inbox waiting for him, it's obvious that they have both been so busy with their own families!
Josh's email has some pictures in it...
Hey pal! Hope you're enjoying life out in the big wide world!! Will pop over to your apartment to visit soon.. just been so busy with the girls!!
Jia had her birthday last week....
She's grown up into a beautiful little girl!!
And a couple of nights ago I got woken by such a noise! Thankfully I had the camera at hand to grab the most amazing photo of June!
And of my latest little lady Lillie!!
Ok maybe it would have been nice to have a boy to even the numbers up a little, but she's stunning!! And now me and June have the excuse to try again I suppose!
You'll have to drop by to meet Lil sometime. I can hear her crying for her feed right now though and June is still exhausted! So speak soon...
JoshAnd it seems Parker also has his hands full!!
Heyyy Aston.
Long time no see, you need to drop round to visit Brady. Would love to visit you but now he's a terrible todd I don't want him to wreck your new apartment!
Little tyke had his birthday last week...
He's got my eyes and hair, but to me he looks just like his gorgeous mother!
Speaking of which, I better sign off, she's not been well the past couple of days and I can hear her in
the bathroom again! Yeugh...
Catch you laters
ParkerIt's lovely to see his friends doing so well.. but Aston can't help feel a little hurt...
At least he has Leon...
Who is growing up fast!
With a new hobby...
And bringing girls home!!
Though, he very quickly wished he hadn't as he arrived home to find Aston's room-mate asleep in his bed!
And Aston came home in his new work uniform...
Going on about the terrible dilemma he had to face!
Balloon animal or no balloon animal?!
How had he coped with such a decision?!?
Poor Aston... and poor Leon!! He was so embarrassed...
Worryingly though, things took a turn for the worse the next night, as Leon arrived home to find Aston had cooked a meal for his new friend Marie!!
Creeped out and embarrassed enough, Leon decided to take advantage of his run of good grades...
He's gonna go and try his luck at uni!
Aston is going be so sad to see him go!
But Leon knows it's the only way he's ever gonna get a girl!!
Sharing a bedroom with his clown father is not good for his image...
But it seems he's definitely not going want to tell anybody at uni about his father! Because his taxi is barely out of the street when Aston makes a rash, crazy decision!!
Oh my god!! Aston?!? What have you done?!?
Wand waving?!
Dark clouds outside!!
Leon's bed replaced by a cauldron?!
No wonder his room-mate packed his bags and left as soon as he got home from work!!
And I think it's probably best if we leave too!!
So er.. bye Aston.. nice to catch up with you!! I think...
