LCU, spring break 2078

2078, LCU, spring break

Okay, go pee if you need to, grab yourself a snack - this one is LONG! I tried to cut it down, but it was just too funny :)

Amelia is so Zen she even has her own flock of butterflies swarming around her. She thought she was dealing with things in a healthy and responsible and normal manner - because, she figures, what are you supposed to do when your boyfriend of six years cheats on you for the second time, and finally leaves you for somebody else? Some not-that-pretty, devious, man-stealing snake who honestly has quite a large forehead!!! And what, you mean five hours of yoga isn't normal???

Jeremiah doesn't think so and he calls Bella over. It's time for an intervention!

"How long has she been like that?" Bella asks.

Jeremiah says, "Five hours."

"Oh my God!" Bella says.

Bella tries first. But Amelia hates Bella and she doesn't get very far.

Mariah tries next. Amelia says, "Spring break, with Bella? Seriously? We'll kill each other?"

"She's just Bella," Mariah says. "You can't take her too seriously."

***

So Amelia agrees to go. Three Bradshaw cousins on one vacation - this is either going to be a lot of fun or a lot of trouble!

It doesn't take them very long to start pissing each other off. Spoiled little rich girls that they are, they each take their own double bedrooms. It looks like they might need the extra space from each other.

Mariah says, "Bella, only you would wear a coconut bikini."

"Of course I would," Bella says. "Why not?" She's dead serious when she says this, what's wrong with coconut bikinis?

First things first - they have to get to the beach! And well, second thing would be, where are all the cute guys? There! They found one! Okay ladies, let's not attack him all at once!

His name is Steve, and he and Mariah seem to have a decent connection... but she does have James at home. They've only been dating a couple months, but she really likes him a lot.

It seems Amelia is a little rusty in the meeting new guys department, and well, that's expected after being fresh on the dating scene for the first time in six years. What, you don't like to talk about aliens? Who doesn't like aliens?

Their next conversations go a little better. He's really cute, but weird! And pretty damn forward to boot! Hey, Buddy, what exactly are you looking at there??? She feels a little sleazy.

Posing for a photo op...

Well, their first day of the vacation is completely rained out! Do they look excited? Totally, mind-numbingly excited! So they head back to their hotel.

Mariah runs into Steve again later that night at their hotel. She says, "Are you stalking me?"

"No, I'm not stalking you!" he says. "Absolutely not!" She was just joking, by the way. Apparently, he's staying there too.

And Bella is so bored she decides to work on her landscaping skills...

By the middle of the vacation, all three girls start to worry about the term papers they haven't finished and the classes they're missing back home. Silly fortune Sims!

They're all feeling pretty blah about things so far. Amelia just wants to flirt with someone, anyone, she doesn't even care who! Bella wants to dance with someone, anyone, and Bella never cares! Quick, to the Tiki Bar!

Seawater Beach was once a quiet and relaxing place before droves and rowdy young spring breakers demanded a little night life on Twikkii Island. What good is spring break without a tiki bar? Bella gets her dance, while Mariah rocks the DJ booth.

Amelia runs into weird (but hot!) island guy, and gets that flirt she wanted. And a tickle party as well. Amelia is having a blast with hot island guy, but Mariah and Bella aren't having so much fun. They would rather be learning hot stone massage. They tell Amelia to bring her hot island guy if she wants, and oh boy does she want! Our good little Amelia seems to be getting carried away with her new freedom! But hey, that's what you do after a break-up, right? You go get yourself a hot island guy! It's therapy!

Mariah finally got that massage class she wanted.

And then there was Demitri, and again, all three of the girls rush up to him at once, Amelia with her date right behind her! Come on girls, let the man breathe!

Mariah says to Amelia, "Back off, you already have a date."

Bella says to Mariah, "You back off, you have a boyfriend at home..." And then we remember, oh, Bella has three or four boyfriends at home. But what is Mariah going to do with him anyway, she's saving herself for James, remember?

Mariah wants to go back home to their hotel, and Amelia and Bella's dates tag along.

Bella decides in the middle of her date that she absolutely must call home to check in with Jeremiah! (I'm serious, she wouldn't roll any more wants for her date until I let her, lol). Her date entertains himself while they talk.

Jeremiah is home, he says, "Are you having fun?"

She says, "It's okay. Is it cold there?"

He says, "Yeah, it's March."

She says, "Oh, okay, see you in a couple days then."

He says, "Okay, bye." I guess sometimes she just wants to hear his voice.

Meanwhile, Amelia takes hot island guy back to her room. This is a big deal for her, you know, having only been with the same guy her whole life.

Well, now she's been with two ;)

Mariah finds Steve again, and they just talk. He's really nice and easy to talk to. She thinks she's done the chaste thing long enough, but she doesn't want her first time to be with some random guy she met on vacation. Poor guy, she hopes she didn't give him the wrong idea.

After all that boy-craziness, the girls have worked up quite an appetite! They have a late night dinner together, and when the topic comes to engagement, Bella looks like she's about to crap herself! Don't worry, Bella, we're not talking about you!

Then Bella says, "So, you're going to give it up to James then? " Mariah is shocked for just a moment, but then, they all know Bella isn't one to be sensitive about certain subjects.

***

So it's the last day of their vacation, and Amelia and Bella have still found very little in common. And maybe they never will, but at least they're back on speaking terms, even if the conversation isn't pleasant. They are family, after all.

The girls make one last stop at the beach before they head home. Hey, Buddy, what do you think you're looking at??? What is it with these island men and their freely-roaming eyes???

Amelia trades in her pasty skin for a nice bronze tan. And Mariah says, "Ouch!"

Bella says "Ouch," too! Oops, I don't think that's what she was looking for!

***

When she's back home, Mariah doesn't wait a minute to call up James. And she doesn't wait another minute to take him up to her dorm room. She says, "Easy on the sunburn now." He promises that he will be.

***

note: LOL, Bella and Mariah were total buzz-kills on this trip! They didn't want to do anything fun. Mariah just wanted to go home and see James.

Poor Steve, if you remember from last spring break, Steve was the date who made Marisa realize she wanted to marry Roland. I don't think he'll ever hook up, lol.

And I've finally gotten around to building some affordable little beach-side bungalows, because I have quite a few families wanting vacation homes :)
