Sea Legs (Updated 09*21*19)
After a little encouragement from other players I've finally decided to "move" my story from another thread to this one. Moves in quotes simply because I'm not moving anything, just copying the posts...

Today the gang arrived in Egypt late afternoon. Niella was so happy to see her dad, having been separated since he moved back to Egypt to find her mother while Niella was at university. Though Niella was born here, she doesn't remember much about her exotic homeland. https://i.imgur.com/ZDMYcgD.jpg
After a good long hug, Niella finally introduced Connor to Dad. Even though they'd never met, Niella knew they'd hit it off immediately.

The guys set to work, straight away, helping Ammon's search for Niella's mother by upgrading his appliances to not need to be cleaned and improving their quality

Meanwhile, Niella sends Karlie that knowing glance when it's clear that her dad has been alone too long.

The girls immediately set to spending some time with him to help bring him out of his shell. It's not long before the paparazzi arrive

While he's getting his plate for dinner, Connor overhears Niella tell her dad that she can't wait to start a family and Connor can't help but melt at the thought of becoming parents with her.

After a late dinner everyone calls it a night.

The next day Niella talks the gang into taking Ammon out fishing. He loves to fish but not many people in Egypt have a fondness for the sport. Knowing that it's one of Connor's favorite pastimes, she secretly hopes they'll be able to bond. Dad eagerly whisks everyone off to "The prettiest place in Egypt!" for some early morning angling.

Raj finds a shady spot to strum a few cords while Ammon and Connor discuss the types of fish in the area. Karlie blushes as she watches her new husband play one of her favorite melodies.

Niella sneaks away while the boys bait up their hooks. The guys are getting along famously and Niella's never been happier

Roj is kind of wishing he had stuck around for that "local fish" conversation. He's a bit shocked when he reels in a young crocodile!!

While the gang listens to Ammon talk about the lore around the Pyramid of the Sky, Niella studies the hieroglyphs. Knocking on the wall to see how solid it is, she's amazed when the floor starts to tremble, mechanisms grind to life, and the wall descends into the ground with a low rumble. Hundreds of sims have searched for the entrance and somehow Niella instinctively knew where to tap!

Almost as soon as Niella and Connor spot a key stone on a stone pedastal in the corner, Karlie jumps (literally) at the chance to get in the water and dives into the pool in their way.

While Connor gets excited about exploring the pyramid, Raj interrupts

Uh guys, it's getting pretty dark. I don't know if I want to go exploring a pyramid that's been sealed for hundreds of years in the dead of night.

They decide he's right and head back. After Ammon drags his tired body off to bed Karlie talks Raj into a midnight dip

While Niella and Connor gaze at the gorgeous night sky.

And this is when you know you're meant to be together - when after an exhausting but adventurous day you both drift off to sleep happy for every sore muscle you have.
