Lost In Paradise: A Picture Story by TGL (The Wedding Finale)
Hooray I'm back from Skyrim modding, so I decided to give my old UL story a little twist!
Prelude: Evan and Esther have been doing well for themselves. Evan is on his way up to being a Vocal Legend and Esther is working on her dream job of being a Scientific Specialist. Evan has convinced Esther to move in with him at his new house in Starlight Shores (Le Great Estate...pretty sure). They've headed off to enjoy the beach...but this day was far from ordinary!
Oh, and here's my UL Story if you want a little backround and a good laugh!

Evan: "Are you sure you don't want to try wind surfing?"
Esther: "No way am I getting in the ocean! I'll just stay here and enjoy being dry on the beach."
Evan: "Well alright, you don't know what you're missing! Oh, and when I get back I've got a little surprise for you!" :wink:

Esther: "Oh really? Why don't you surprise me now?"
Evan: "Err, because I want to go wind surfing and if I show you the surprise...well I won't be able to."
Esther: "Fine, keep your secrets then. Have fun getting soaked, I'll just be over here sun bathing."

Evan: "I won't be long, see you in a few babe!"

Esther knows she's not missing a thing!

Evan swims out into the cool ocean water, he forgot his life jacket but he'll be alright without it!

Meanwhile Esther takes a little snooze after a failed attempt at proper umbrella placement. :roll:
https://uap6mg.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pZFDJ6sfir8tbr9WfoyxPt2D10FxkLFl0jE6BTGtsprwwK9Ly6GbI0QqJ1LHiB_vniljIHwwMjg4VOqdxlwtokLHWtfhZP9H2G_xkyDc3mX7K8ozxjwfbQ9bDaj8nO1-n/Screenshot-6.jpg
The wind picks up and the clouds are getting darker overhead, Evan is having a hard time steering in the strong gusts and finds himself headed out further into the ocean! If he could just turn the board around...
https://uambeg.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2prJOqcKq8G6phjqR4SqeOMUs9sKGgX0nDp4gBt_mNP2zUM5sSnfgesnStZVEvHzlvyHHZI_EchuDRfMyYA7u750AsRPTBGCFFXkf-A8TT5yxcNFPlIreD0PinkBor8BWS/Screenshot-8.jpg
Esther is rudely awoken from her nice nap by a gout of pouring rain! So much for sunbathing.
https://uanmbq.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pxp8AgRQHqJqqsMmO9S49XC4vIeWOlYnI18BwqKJDatd9p1iNYXavixotbY0yivYohpRY3VDd1iNUSj2Mwekmz6K5Pp43lCScqcjaAMJqA6lxSg7KuDs5K9F7yvMVXA43/Screenshot-9.jpg
Where's Evan? He should have been back by now! Esther takes a good long look around. There doesn't appear to be any sign of him on the ocean or the beach nearby. :shock:
https://uaoc7g.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pCAMrVAl8vmvWAPmTqTiAT181FmHztpHcGAXtbU-DDHCmLjLMJz-EiF9UYA9vKudOed8aDvK-2pHDM73SSx0AkD8-V5oL6lOsheA9DCRIYbDgfRH3PR002K2bfqofjx0C/Screenshot-10.jpg
Esther is starting to worry, maybe he's back at the beach house? But why wouldn't he have come back and gotten her? She starts to run, fearing the worst.
https://uaplka.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2ptBpvEwI-qimDetlSJoOl5nriMkm-WWGfht3en82tppV9jbxOeka-2wkzvwzBBHPOmj0SUhG8xLQHXZh543eaaeQdkBFPaT4VXDIQ4TrVICWAmcs-fXTaIRgHQVE-BEPd/Screenshot-11.jpg
She reaches the beachhouse but it's empty. Hmm...maybe the bathroom?
https://uantta.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pcsdf03YjvjkOOswWXwc0ryLyapOI5lsEDYIgIbilxCtCcNzneoViCexHbbax1rHqee99hhYcP9erzTuSC9WcQ0KI-Z-C8aBg46K1XKse3xTRSjRculIz7GCO4TnbbWAS/Screenshot-12.jpg
Esther: "Evan! Are you in there?"
Nope, bathroom is empty too.
https://uamiwq.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pPQeAo7liSs8EAS3UOq5Ii9CYNMRfMc5XbhuQAJLFMpGmujW-5sPevHQk3ywiXhsHe3kcFbPOdhRQyb5AcDnmfPKVdnltaHnywXyEO7mGSL1Q6lVbSq-IyvdWhMkCyHAd/Screenshot-13.jpg
Alright, maybe he's playing a game and going to surprise her. She runs back up to the house to check if he headed back there.
Esther: "Evan!! You come out right this instant!" :evil:
https://iwemba.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pFYr5n2iAA595KWEBBX2OL1OsrTOR02ZfItBOLRKzEJ9szIWxOp0ihTIsiF42zr2u69-9EBH_dDa2imaBxxms17vmAawFGG1GFslWUb0w1Z0tTZwK_QXChCDu6fRtXX5X/Screenshot-14.jpg
But alas, she is met with silence. She checks the garage, maybe he left to go buy something at the store. His bike is still there though....
https://iwgljw.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pFaNKBX5QAnIpllGfeyp-qMesvJsHQ3JKcs1i5ZydJEsgad7TOzz54X90_TA67YFT_8B6Sj_H5m4DCjjW5noXBZNO2kfvdPSwzAB5M2besjA6_xd014xu3ui3B8zZCSFs/Screenshot-15.jpg
Now she's really starting to worry, he should have his cell phone though! He never misses her calls.
https://iwfvpg.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pMJmjR5ED7N994bH4tWHmTQqFRQE6U6_eiKCAYVxATomVAgAVr_XTuCG0oyCZsfWrd-rvr00p-f6yqNU70FYlG4ZsLjyYgm3nUBX9zpPEUpURrXC72TPra_4gB4kvpcSO/Screenshot-16.jpg
Aaaand straight to voice mail. Now Esther is getting upset on top of worried, he's been missing for a few hours now. Panic mode ensues!
https://iwhwgg.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pjGWr-t_tv-ulTyQsKv1hzsJC-u6p2ehpOFtQVbkoUdLeQFxRtVlWcscGCz6FKwi8qkBJVPXc_C336vEbpA-whNo068G-QDanEJ4tF12hkCmhnxpBC6_LmdJAtlYuxRne/Screenshot-17.jpg
She dials 9-1-1 while she combats her emotions, if she lets the police know they'll be able to find him, right?
https://iwh3yq.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2phiyC9og1riFlagKAsvTpNl6Zol6dvIZq392pEA2AUzHblD5yloJy6a54b2KxQv61hcb_Eqwz_roglKvvX73INuYa7MxdRAIxupKrarC9VMfuD5hVtaTtdtOVdQ29ULq3/Screenshot-18.jpg
After an agonizing half hour of waiting a squad car finally pulls up!

Esther: "Thank you so much for coming, my boyfriend Evan is missing and I can't find him anywhere! He's not answering his cell phone and he said he had a surprise for me but..."
https://iwgs1g.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pGGY7OtxtqsGGaG2CVEoJ1dVn7QhXSMEcQ9-MHbBkAqY5ri1qzo_fGn9H0tb_1hcrC6kUyMy4vZk6FnF6u2q4YgbpOHPD4zBUzmeQgOi1LXpCvtXeYiAwuvZUNUehfgKe/Screenshot-20.jpg
Officer: "Whoa, whoa! Slow down a second, when did you last see Evan?"
Esther: "We were at the beach and he went wind surfing, I stayed on the shore to sunbathe and I decided to take a nap."
https://huzj7a.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2py8U5jtuf0bUN-gk84AAA_NjiNi9qH37GCTmK7eG7AZwDZy9nkstvf7l0t4UiOMGXBE2gNp2RHecQHPsUiKViOsH0swvnkhRBidlJyxrNxg5gmXzFTc4mZXj45rrQJnCi/Screenshot-24.jpg
Esther: "I woke up when it started raining really hard and I looked around to see if he had come back yet but I didn't see him anywhere! I checked the beach house, the bathrooms, back here at the house...*sniff*, you have to help me!"
https://iwfjna.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pqVgKkgOZoYmbd_jlezSxlERVAToZHh1suV7dFZEXReGKuLFqW6OuvHYSvZMvmXOWLURpFWMl97CKfJXn7-AUKsIK5mRoO91n5TJBCj-oATULVxdOB0uQOCzDg9ZlTC0A/Screenshot-22.jpg
Officer: "Is he a good swimmer? Did he have a life jacket on?"
Esther: "He's not a bad swimmer but he forgot his life jacket here at the house."
Officer: "Do you know if he had any enemies, someone who might want to do something to him?"
Esther: "No! I don't know?! Everyone seems to be really nice to him, he's a singer and he's really friendly...what kind of question is that anyway?"
Hannah briefly crossed her mind...no way, that was so long ago and waaay too random.

Officer: "I'm just doing my job ma'am. Do you have a photo of him that we can take? Anything recent?"
Esther: "Yes, here's a photo of him I took a few days ago. He was wearing black and green swim shorts. Please, find him...I'm worried sick that he might be in danger!"
https://iwhpqa.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2p3mY_ooUts2eH5kiKkTaIlJeZUvU93t3lZgzzkHcNGsT6f0QsuaD3S6a-RUPcwDxwLweb3adHKf_B4kcogRT2qaoFmsTOD4bL6kh8VWeUymgv2EIQX6Ic3Et_25VyagLS/Screenshot-23.jpg
Officer: "We'll do our best ma'am, I'll just need some contact information and I'll get this down to the precinct so we can start searching. We've got the best officers around, I'm sure we'll be able to find him for you."
Esther: "Thank you, I didn't know what else to do!"
Officer: "It's going to be alright ma'am, just try to relax in the meantime. As soon as we know something we'll let you know right away. I'm sure he's fine."

So where did Evan go?
Well...he's been separated from his board by a large wave that knocked him sprawling into the water!
https://ghowwa.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pDYzNy7pcEb_KTnoT8KTAlfVzWwaC302r81uRAsFrr_sRayXjPkMhbRsU4W2hcdWh82uRtXpq0J5ZXSiEs0Lf-OgYIHIBDJrCkAsD-Y52LgS8jqGltE76oAjvRJViFdS4/Screenshot-28.jpg
He struggles mightily against the ocean currents but he seems to be getting carried further away from the shore with every stroke. His thoughts turn to Esther, he should have given her the engagement ring when he had the chance! He can only watch in frustration as Starlight Shores disappears from the horizon. :(

Is this the end for poor Evan? Will he get eaten by hungry sharks or take a trip to Davey Jones' Locker? We may never know...except we will as the story unfolds! :wink:

Officer: "I'm just doing my job ma'am. Do you have a photo of him that we can take? Anything recent?"
Esther: "Yes, here's a photo of him I took a few days ago. He was wearing black and green swim shorts. Please, find him...I'm worried sick that he might be in danger!"

Officer: "We'll do our best ma'am, I'll just need some contact information and I'll get this down to the precinct so we can start searching. We've got the best officers around, I'm sure we'll be able to find him for you."
Esther: "Thank you, I didn't know what else to do!"
Officer: "It's going to be alright ma'am, just try to relax in the meantime. As soon as we know something we'll let you know right away. I'm sure he's fine."

So where did Evan go?
Well...he's been separated from his board by a large wave that knocked him sprawling into the water!

He struggles mightily against the ocean currents but he seems to be getting carried further away from the shore with every stroke. His thoughts turn to Esther, he should have given her the engagement ring when he had the chance! He can only watch in frustration as Starlight Shores disappears from the horizon. :(

Is this the end for poor Evan? Will he get eaten by hungry sharks or take a trip to Davey Jones' Locker? We may never know...except we will as the story unfolds! :wink:
