Misty - Gen 1 Ch 3

It's the morning after your wedding. Aaron's mom stayed all night. And now she's broken your bathtub. Your filthy bathtub, I might add. What are you going to do about it?

Well, she is Aaron's mom after all. It's not like I can tell her to leave. And I was planning on cleaning the tub before the wedding and I just ran out of time, so there.

Oh my, do my eyes deceive me? Or are you actually fixing the tub? I didn't know you cared about such mundane things.

Haha, very funny. I can't very well clean it if it's broken, can I?

Wonderful way to spend your honeymoon, doing home maintenance. What's Aaron doing while you're busy playing Ms. Fixit?

He went out jogging, I think. He's really into working out.

Oh, yes..he certainly did. Without his shirt, too. Yum.

Ohhh Misty. You should see this. Aaron is giving himself a sponge bath in the kitchen.

And you're watching?? Just a sec, I'll be right there.

I just gotta give this toilet a few more whacks with the hammer, that should make it self-cleaning for sure.

Never mind. He's back to working out  to the radio now.

Boo, too bad. I'd have liked to have seen that.

So, when are you two going to start doing real honeymoon stuff? You know, like making out, woohoo, making babies, that sort of thing?

Not to worry, we spend lots of time doing honeymoon stuff.

Right in front of the giant picture window in your bedroom, I see.

Hey, we're on the third floor, I don't think anyone would watch.

Err... of course not, no one's watching..

Throwing another party? What's the occasion this time?

A Campaign Fundraiser! I'm running for mayor! Isn't that exciting? I hope I'll get enough donations tonight to run an awesomely successful campaign.

I just hope your guests don't try to eat that old wedding cake. I think it has green fuzz growing on it.

Oh, and by the way, it's my birthday, too! I thought I'd combine my fundraiser with a little birthday party.

Happy Birthday! Does that mean you'll start thinking about starting a family? Maybe? Pretty please?

Eh, not yet. There's plenty of time for that later. Right now I just wanna win this election.

Uh oh.. What's going on? Trouble in love bird land?

Not really. Aaron just teased me one too many times about getting older. And it doesn't help I lost my election. And I'm sick and tired of this crummy apartment.

Ah, it sounds like someone might be having a little mid life crisis, perhaps?

Grrrr... not you too.

Okay, okay, sorry. You can move if you want to, you know.

Good. I want to. Let's go already.

You're just going to leave that pile of dirty laundry on the floor?

Yup, and the green wedding cake is staying on the counter, too. We need a fresh start.

I found you a really cute little house. It even has a nursery. Hint hint. Do you like it?

I must admit it is nice. And it's right across the street from the ocean. It even has a yard. And the nursery will make a great art room. Haha, just kidding. Actually, no I'm  really not kidding. I have too many other problems to think about babies right now...

... like, take my job, for instance. As in, take this job and shove it. I hate my job. I've been a city councilwoman practically forever. I'm never gonna unseat the current mayor. So I have it all decided. I'm changing jobs! I just got myself a new job at the theatre!

I know you've lost a few elections, but... isn't this a little drastic? What is your new job, anyway?

I'm a music fan! Doesn't that sound like fun? No more ugly brown skirts for me!

Just thought I'd let you know, while you were at the theatre, Aaron had his birthday.

Awww, dammit. I totally forgot about it. Is he freaking out?

Not at all. In fact he looks pretty proud of himself. And wait 'til you see his new haircut.

Salad for dinner again tonight?

Yeah. We can't afford to go out right now.  It was totally worth it, but it turns out I had to take a huge cut in pay when I  started my dream job at the theatre.

Well, I tried to warn you about that. But you do realize that your grocery budget would stretch a lot farther if you'd just put away your leftovers once in a while?

I suppose. But who likes soggy leftover salad? I'm thinking about selling that giant coffee machine we got for a wedding gift, but I just can't bear to part with it. I like my coffee in the morning.

Besides, there's lots of fun free stuff we can do together - like watching the stars out on our new driveway.

Awww, how sweet. Any chance it might lead to, you know, a little bundle of joy for that nursery?

Sigh. You're as bad as Aaron's mom. When the time is right, you'll be the first to know.

Right now, I'm much more concerned about my hair.

Your hair? I like your hair.

Well, I'm tired of it. I need a new hairstyle to go with my new job.

So, what do you think? I chopped it all off. It feels sooo much better.

It's... different.

Wheee! Don't you just love our new water slide? Aaron got a raise at work, and it was the first thing we thought of... gotta get a water slide! Now if I can just distract Aaron from his treadmill for a little while, we can have some real fun.

... and then maybe a completely different kind of fun. Hehehe. Speaking of which, Aaron and I have a very important announcement to make. We've talked it over, and we are ready to start a family! Aren't you excited?

Excited? I'm positively ecstatic! Does this mean your midlife crisis is over?

Over and done with. I'm ready to move on.

Right now? Your going to try for a baby now? Eeeee!

Yup, right now. And no, you can't watch.

Bleh! I don't think I've ever been this sick in my life. I couldn't even wait 'til Aaron was finished in the bathroom.

Hehehe. I think I know what that means!

What? That the salad I had for breakfast had been sitting on the kitchen counter a little too long?

No no. I think you're pregnant!

Well, it looks like you were right. I'm indeed pregnant.

Yay!!! Congratulations! I'm so happy I could cry. I can't wait!

Misty - Gen 1 Ch 2

Okay, I'll bite. What gives with the epicly ugly outfit today?

Hey! It's not that bad. And it's pretty much required for my new position. Meet your newest city councilwoman!

Ah, I see. Well, congratulations on the promotion. Are you going to celebrate?

Of course. I thought I'd head over to the Arena Club and jam with Diego.

Oh my. I'm just chilling here with Diego and suddenly I realized something. I have never kissed anyone. Ever. I've gotta do something about that.

Um, Misty, I've been trying to tell you that for ages now. You don't know how happy that makes me that you've finally come around. So, it's Diego, isn't it? You want to have your first kiss with Diego?

Huh? No no. I wanna have my first kiss with Aaron!

Aaron? Aaron who? Who's Aaron??

You know. That guy I met in the lobby on my way in here tonight.

What? You talked to him for all of five minutes. I thought he was just a statistic on your way to making 25 friends. I didn't even take a picture of him!

A statistic? Why, I'm shocked. Shocked and hurt. Every one of my friends is very special to me. Especially Aaron.

Thanks for looking up his address for me . I hope he's home!

He is. I already checked for you.  But, um.. are you sure you want to do this? It doesn't look like a very safe neighborhood.

Hey! You've been badgering me forever to find a boyfriend, and now you're having second thoughts? I want my first kiss, and I'm gonna get it!

So this is Aaron?

Mmhm... Dreamy, isn't he? And he likes to flirt as much as I do.

Well, he isn't bad looking, I'll give you that. Some new clothes, a better hairstyle, he should clean up nicely.  So go ahead and kiss him already.

Dammit! He passed out just as I leaned in for our first kiss.

Well, it is 2am. Not everyone likes to stay up all night like you do.

Hmph. I'm not sure why not. But I guess he was all tired out from working so hard all day.

Speaking of working, did you find out what line of work he's in?

Umm.. yeah. You're not gonna like it. He's a bag man.

Argh, Misty! Not another klepto criminal!

'Fraid so. I just find them so adorable for some reason.

It took a few days, and a lot of flirting, but I finally did it - my first kiss! Mmmmm. I think I'm in love.

Wonderful. I'm so happy for you. 

You don't sound happy. I don't understand. He's absolutely perfect. What's not to like? Name one thing.

Okay then. I'll name four things. Inappropriate. Mooch. Klepto. Criminal.

Bah, minor details. Love conquers all, you'll see. I think I'd really like to date him.

Date, as in boyfriend-girlfriend?

Is there any other kind? 

"Will you be my boyfriend, Aaron? We could go traveling together, wouldn't that be fun?"

Wait, wait.. what's this about traveling? Why haven't I heard anything about this before?

Because I just now thought of it. I hear Egypt is nice this time of year.

Hmmm..he'll have to move in with you if you want to take him traveling.

Even better! I can't wait! Egypt, here we come!

Ah, Egypt is everything I'd hoped for. So romantic. The ancient pyramids lit against a black velvet backdrop of a million twinkling stars.

My hot bare chested boyfriend holding me close as we watch said stars together. Only one small detail could make the whole experience even better.

I'm almost afraid to ask...

"Aaron my love, we've known each other for at least a week now. I can't imagine being with anyone else but you. I love you and I want more than anything to be your wife. Will you marry me?"

I bow to the inevitable. Congratulations on your engagement.

Hehe! He said yes! He said yes!! Did you see him jumping up and down and screaming like a little girl?

sniff... I'm sooo happy right now.

A visit to the market! And a pillow fight! This vacation is turning out to be a real blast!

I'm so glad you're enjoying yourselves. I hate to be a wet blanket, but have you figured out yet how you're going to pay for all of this?

Uh... pay?

Right-o. You spent almost your whole bank account on this trip. You won't even have enough to pay your bills when you get back.

Oh...don't worry, I'll think of something...

But first, I just gotta have this snake charming basket! Hmm, the man said there was a snake in here, but I can't make it work.

I think it takes practice. That flute sounds pretty awful right now.

I know, I'll give it to Aaron. I bet he can get it to work.

Ack! Misty! What are you doing? Trying to kill yourself?

This is all your fault!

My fault? What are you talking about?

This lady called me, and said she'd pay me if I cleared out the fire traps in her basement. I remembered what you said about paying for this trip, so here I am.

But.. but... you don't know anything about fire traps. You probably know less about them than the woman who hired you!

You're telling me! I'm almost done now, though. I think this will turn the last of them off. You better go check on Aaron. Some guy hired him to find some kind of relic, I hope he's not in trouble.

He's fine. No fire traps where he is, just a few chests to loot.

Whew. That's good. I think we've made enough on this trip to pay for a decent wedding!

When you make up your mind, you really make it up, don't you? That was a whirlwind romance if I ever saw one. I just hope you are doing the right thing.

Just shut up for once, will you? I'm trying to say my vows here.  Aaron makes me happy. I love him and he loves me, so just drop it, okay?

At least your lack of furniture made it easy to set up for the wedding. And it looks like Aaron's mom is having a great time in the back there.

Hmmm? Did you say something?

Never mind, I can see you're busy..

I'll just shut up now...

Oh my. When he looks at me like that, it just makes me want to drag him off to the bedroom, unbutton his shirt, and pull him down onto the bed, and...

I get the picture. At least wait until you cut the cake?

Fine. Now can we go?

Alone at last... hint hint.

Sure, sure. Have fun.

Can I at least watch you sleep?

Pervert. Go away.

Fine.

Misty - Gen 1 Ch 1

Meet Misty Whisperwind. Artistic, Charismatic, and Flirty, she Loves the Outdoors and is a Hopeless Romantic. Her goal in life is Golden Tongue, Golden Fingers....

Wait! Hold it just one minute here. You call that a back story? Borrriiing! Come on, surely you can come up with something better than that. This is my life we're talking about, after all.

Sigh. So that's how it's gonna be, is it? Alrighty then.  How about this?

She appeared out of the fog one misty June morning, her bare footprints trailing out of the surf onto the soft sand of an almost deserted Los Angienos beach. Rumors started flying soon after. Exotic and seductive, it was whispered that she was descended from the mythical sirens. And when she played her guitar, men claimed they were lured in by the sound of the wind and sea in her music. But that is all they were, rumors. For if Misty knew from whence she had come, she wasn't telling.

Much better, thank you.

It's your first day in LA, Misty. What do you want to do first? Join the music career, perhaps? Or visit the park, practice your guitar for a while? No? Oh, you want to go to the town hall, I see. Are you going to register as an independent musician, I hope?

No, no and no. I want to be a politician. Mayor Misty, it has a nice alliterative ring to it, don't you think?

Hmm, I guess. Okay then, what next?

Well, if I want to make it in politics, I need take a charisma class, don't you agree?

Are you sure? It costs a lot, and you don't have very much money left after renting that condo near the beach. You could just practice in a mirror.

I'm sure. I really really want to take this class. I just won't buy a couch.

Now to try out my new charming introduction. Robert seems like a nice guy. I think a little flirting is in order here.

Uh, Misty, I'm pretty sure that girl is his girlfriend...you might want to rethink the flirting bit.

Hmm, I see what you mean. Not the reaction I was hoping for. Oh well, there's always more fish in the sea. In fact, I see another one now.

"Come and jam with me, Tyrone!"

Can you believe he had a keyboard with him? This is way fun. Tyrone is pretty smooth on his keyboard.  Plus he's kinda cute. Maybe I'll have better luck flirting with him.

Maybe. I'd suggest getting to know him a little better before you try. You remember what happened with Robert.

Good idea.

"Hi, I'm Misty. Mhmmm. I see. So you are a get-a-way driver, how fascinating."

Misty, are you sure you wanna flirt with this guy? He's a criminal for pete's sake.

Just watch me. Hehe.

So how do you like the apartment I picked out for you?

Well, aside from the flashing neon sign right outside the window, and the no furniture problem, it's pretty nice. I can see the ocean! That's pretty cool.

If you hadn't spent all that money on your charisma class...

Yeah, yeah. It was totally worth it. I don't need a couch.

It's Friday night, and you know what that means?

Lots of time to go out and try to meet the love of your life, find someone to have babies with, that sort of thing?

Heck no, time to partay! I just invited everyone I know over! Hopefully they'll bring food, I can't afford to feed them.

I thought you invited Tyrone? I don't see him.

I did. He didn't come. His brother did, though. And everyone from work showed! And brought food! My boss looks like he likes my music, don't you think? Maybe he'll give me a promotion.

I'm truly amazed. Not only did everyone except Tyrone show up, they all said they had a great time. I'm not sure how you managed that with no furniture, and a broken dishwasher, but I am duly impressed. To bad you forgot to put all that leftover food away, though.

Ha. Just for that I'm gonna leave it all here. Except for this bowl. The rest of it stays.

Whatever. You're the one who has to live with it, not me.

Oh, good call, spending more time with that criminal friend of yours.

Yup, we're almost best friends now. And for your information there is more to him than just his career.

Well, maybe I was wrong about him. You do need to find a boyfriend, hopefully sooner than later. If you really like him...

Hey, I don't like him like that, silly. I just like to jam with him. He plays a mean keyboard, you know.

I must admit, you do sound pretty good together. I still think you should reconsider the whole 'just friends' thing, though. Doesn't the hopeless romantic in you want a boyfriend, just a little?

Just for you, I'll give it a try. See? I'm trying.

I don't see any flirting going on at all, just talking.

I just can't do it, sorry. No urge to flirt at all.

I think I want pie for breakfast this morning. At the Bistro.

Nothing like spending ten percent of your current bank account on a piece of pie.

It's good pie. I'll be in a good mood all day, that can't hurt, can it?

I guess not. Okay, now what? It's Sunday. Now that you are in such a good mood, do you want to go meet some potential boyfriends?

Nah, I'd much rather get a tattoo. Or several.

That's going to leave you with precious little in your bank account, you know.

Don't worry, I think I'm gonna get a promotion tomorrow, then I'll be set again.

Hmph. They turned out better than I thought. Still too expensive, though.

My favorite is the dolphin jumping over my belly button. Oh! I just had a great idea! I wanna to shopping! I'm going to the consignment store, maybe they'll have a music box!

Ahh... isn't this just beautiful? Aren't you proud of me? I bought the 89 simoleon fluffy bunny one  instead of the 279 simoleon mummy one.

Only because you didn't have 279 simoleons in your bank account.

Maybe...

Eeee! I'm so excited! I got my promotion. Now I can buy that easel I've always wanted!

Always as in never even thought about it before today, and now you just gotta have it?

You know me too well.

So lets see, your bank account is almost empty again, and so far you've bought a tattoo, a music box, an easel, and a 50 simoleon piece of pie. Such great money management, I'm almost blown away.

Whatever. Let's talk about something else. I've had it with Tyrone. I really want to hang out with him, but every time I call, he says he doesn't feel like hanging out. Enough of this. I want to meet someone new.

Finally! Let's go!

How about this guy? He seems nice. And I'm pretty sure he's not a criminal.

Eh, he's okay I guess. I'd stay and talk to him some more, but I'm about to starve. There's a bar across the street, maybe I could get some nachos?

Pretty cool place, but I wonder why it's so empty?

Just a guess, but it's 3am on a Wednesday, and everyone is home sleeping because they have to get up and go to work in the morning? Speaking of which, shouldn't you be doing the same thing?

Whatever for? I'm not sleepy in the least. I think I'll check out the VIP section.

You can try, but I don't think they'll let you in.

Haha, that's what you think. Just watch me. Viola! VIP section, here I come!

Okay, I was wrong, I admit it. You managed to get in.

Oh. My. Looky who we have here, hiding out in the VIP section. What do you think of him? Pretty hot, yes? I'm feeling some flirts coming on. Too bad he's in bartender mode and won't talk to me except for stupid mixologist conversations.

Yeah, too bad. And from what I hear, the bartenders in this town work pretty much around the clock, and hide out in their apartments when they're off duty. I think you better forget about flirting with this guy.

No way. I just need a little help from you. You just watch when he leaves work, and follow him home. Then you can tell me where he lives. Pleaaasssse?

So you want me to stalk him for you?

I wouldn't call it that.

Sigh. There you go. Red brick apartment building downtown. His name is Diego.

Thank you, thank you. You won't regret this, I promise. 

Hehe, see! What did I tell you. After I chatted him up this morning, as soon as I snuck in here tonight, he asked me to dance!

Well played, Misty, well played. Such a nice guy. And so compatible. A hopeless romantic like you, great kisser, even nurturing - good choice. Much better than that klepto Tyrone. You know I checked up on him recently. He's a vampire now, I guess that's why he stopped going out during the day.

I'll just leave you two alone now.

Thanks.
