403 The Watcher Watches: Leif & Rico's House ~~ Leif's Decision ~~
Leif feels so great without any spells overtaking his mind! He's having such a blast talking with Shanti. He tells her all about his role as an astronaut. Watcher is a bit embarrassed that I didn't know that, I thought he was still one level below with the cool uniform! haha
Shanti thinks that his job sounds like it just might be a bit more exciting job than being a firefighter.

Cherish comes home with a red plumbob, and with the lost friend and betrayed moodlet! I guess that must happen when a break-up goes down like this. Good to know, Don't do it this way!

I zoom to her face! huh, She looks um blank, normal for her, cold as ice, the usual. What? come on!
She is not used to Leif not greeting her as soon as she walks in the door!
''Ooo that Shanti, The nerve of her!'' She does hate Shanti, all the way red!

She wants to tell Leif about her job, that is her action.
"Leif, I'm home.....Leif?" He doesn't turn around or answer.
"Leif, we need to talk about my job...Leif!" no answer.
Cherish thinks ''I can't believe this chick, continuing to blather on to Leif, when I'm sure talking about my job will be much more interesting to him!" she is getting pretty irritated.
But Shanti keeps talking and Leif pays rapt attention, he loves the melodious calm of her voice.

Cherish thinks, "What the heck can be sooo interesting?"
"Leif!" She is Very frustrated, even showing it in her face! a miracle!

"huh? Sorry Cherish, did you say something?" He says, but can't stop looking at Shanti.
"Gadfrey, she's so cute and interesting!" he thinks.

Cherish is livid now, thinking, ''This doesn't work without Leif under my Spell! He must be punished!'' She gives Shanti the eye, and then casts a curse on Leif, instead of Shanti, who is her enemy!
"This is for you, bee-och! He'll be Ice cold now, all the way through to his Heart!" Cherish seethes, looking at Shanti.

"Ew! She is worse than anyone ever described, Leif! No wonder you wanted to break up, when you weren't controlled by her spells!" says Shanti.
"Shaddup you! You're next!" spits Cherish.
"Don't cast a curse on Shanti, Cherish, she didn't Do anything!" begs Leif. "It was My decision!" But that only makes Cherish more angry.

As Leif gets frozen, Shanti starts feeling a love for him. His last words were to try to protect her. "My kind of guy!" she thinks.?
"Now for you! And STOP thinking Love thoughts about MY Lover Boy!" says Cherish.

Diana walks in "Oh dear! Try not to die a frozen death, Leif, old pal." She goes to look out the window hoping to become invisible. then becomes terrified of living here with the witch and no brave Leif to help calm the witch down!
https://i.imgur.com/kmydoCd.jpg
Before Cherish can cast a haunting curse spell, Shanti smashes a greater friendship potion on her feet. Now Cherish won't want to curse her 'good friend' Shanti. But becoming friends with the mean witch, actually makes Shanti feel disgusted anger towards Cherish. She does Not want to be this witch's friend!
Now her Love thought is replaced by anger at Cherish, which makes Shanti furious, because it is so much nicer to think love thoughts about Leif!

Leif walks slowly, frozenly over to Shanti, each footstep sounding like glass windchimes, poor frozen guy, lol. Shanti is still disgusted by Cherish but looks in anticipation to Leif.
Leif turns his head to Cherish and warns, "Backkk Offf Chherish!" his frozen words clattering in his frozen mouth.

https://i.imgur.com/XF1ecAj.jpg
He just wants to stand close to Shanti and look at her face, she is so warm,
and her hug exudes tranquility, and maybe it will help thaw him out.

https://i.imgur.com/rVfkYpy.jpg
They spend long moments just gazing at each other, they like to be close, invisible aura's touching.
Cherish walks off in disgust, and decides to call her nicest sister, Hanae, the most compassionate sister, and most likely to commiserate with her plight. Cherish just can't believe that She, the most powerful witch, lost sweet Leif!
Diana stays quiet as a mouse all through this ordeal. I bet she'll need to freak out after a bit!
Rico as usual, stays away whenever Cherish is home, if he possibly can.

"Hanae? Leif broke up with me!" Cherish whines.
"Aw, I'm sorry. But it's not like you to just give up, are you being sweet and kind to everyone? Leif appreciates that." says Hanae.
"No, and I shouldn't have to change, he should love me for myself! He's being such a stooge! Can I bring my baby and come live with you and Youngman?"
https://i.imgur.com/yJwPaA2.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/mytQ5SB.jpg
"No, Cherish, that isn't even your baby!" says Hanae. "You have to stop taking her! It upsets Diana!"
"What?! Oh. Oh that's right, Well, then can I borrow Youngman, just to make a genius witch baby with me? I'll give him right back to you, I promise!"
"NO! Youngman won't want that! And I won't let you!! Look, sweetie, you never had any luck with the guys in this town, maybe you need a change of scene, like a vacation visiting Mother? You are always much happier on the Island anyway. You can have your pick of a genius mate from one of those so called conquerors that always tries to bother us!" says Hanae. "Those guys adore you!"
"Ohh, very well." says Cherish, thinking that is actually a good idea, those guys are easy as pie to overtake. The Amazons are mighty warriors!

Standing so close to Shanti has melted the frozen spell, and Leif runs to the back yard, where she is, avoiding to even look at Cherish now.
https://i.imgur.com/eME3I8f.jpg
In the back yard Shanti gets to know the cute little baby, Kaiya. She loves her blonde peach fuzz hair.
Leif keeps his eyes on her, she is alluring and tranquil, even in her casual movements, there is a grace.

Diana comes out to gossip and tell Shanti how she liked how She handled that awfulness inside. "I was surprised you retaliated with friendship rather than a bee swarm. hehehe Cherish really deserved an attack of the bees!"
"hahaha but that would be what she was expecting, It's best to keep witches off guard, and your friend!" laughs Shanti.
Leif seems a happier guy without Cherish anywhere near him.
I watch, laughing, because It's really hard for Leif not to look at her, after each slide on the waterslide.? It's so cute!

"Leif? ...Leif! ... Leif! come wish me farewell! ... LEIF! I'M GOING NOW! ...." Cherish calls, but Leif doesn't come. He is much too busy in the back yard. He doesn't even answer, because he finds Shanti utterly captivating.
oh my, Now she's telling him she is a firefighter in a most alluring way!

It is terribly exciting and sexy and just about the coolest thing Leif has ever heard a woman say to him! LOL ?
He is truly smitten, this time with no spells or charms.
https://i.imgur.com/vx6b7jd.jpg
"Calm down there, big fella, don't get too crazy!" jokes Shanti, loving the effect she has on him. She's crazy about him, herself.
"Aw, Shanti!" Leif purrs.
https://i.imgur.com/tt9JMvS.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/l7PPszj.jpg
Leif thinks he might have found the girl who will love him like he wants to be loved.
A nice girl, that brings his heart peace.
https://i.imgur.com/WuD2m3I.jpg
Cherish is disgusted with Leif's behavior, not even coming to talk with her, or even wish her good-bye!
"Well, I'm done with him and it's his loss! He will realize that soon enough, the big dummy!!"
She walks out the door and climbs on her trusty broom stick. She is super happy to see her Mother again, on the Island of the Amazon's!
She turns the corner and rides off in the wind.
"Later Losers!" she whispers under her breath, and then she's gone.

The household feels the effect of Cherish's absence immediately! It's kind of like a heaven on earth feeling.
Rico must have felt the calm, and immediately zoomed home! It's not often he gets the chance to sweep his pretty wife off her feet with the witch off the premises!

"What is that? I almost recognize that feeling! Is it the air? Do you feel that, Shanti?"
"That's how it's supposed to feel, Leif, that is Normal!"
Shanti gives Leif a first kiss, and they become romantic interests.
https://i.imgur.com/N0OyIOW.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/sPtE4m5.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/lamEPbL.jpg
That pretty much does it for Leif, so he thinks the ''I want to be her boyfriend!'' thought again, "This one, Watcher! Shanti! She's the one!"
just in case Watcher is too dense, or blind, and missed it the first time he had this thought! ?
https://i.imgur.com/PmrMSkc.jpg
They keep flirting and Leif isn't the sort of man that needs all that much encouragement from Shanti to set him on fire.
https://i.imgur.com/3nfVGKj.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/zBin3jq.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/6c0vzVA.jpg
Shanti says :''I love you, too!''?
It's so nice when your love will tell you! Leif's heart melts in a big puddle, because somebody he loves, loves him right back!

What the heck, Leif! Did I just hear baby chimes?! Shanti is surprised! Leif is happy! Watcher is befuddled!
How'd he do that?? I guess Youngman isn't the only sim who can break my mods! ?
https://i.imgur.com/qiPnVGn.jpg
Baby Kaiya is rejoicing! "Yay! Babies Rule!"
