Sharpe Stories: The life and legacy of Monica Sharpe
Hey everyone. I've been wanting to do two things recently: play with aging on, and start a gameplay story thread. I figured, why not do both at the same time? One of my favorite sims to play is my ...
Note: I'm calling this Chapter 3.5, since it's not really a long update. I just got the chance to play a bit more this evening, and thought I'd go ahead and share this.
Part 1: Earlier Today...
The school day on Thursday was much the same as any other school day for Monica https://i.imgur.com/U30y9Fk.png https://i.imgur.com/bsBjMn6.png https://i.imgur.com/FKGnbsz.png But something, or rather someone seemed to be missing...
"Kaori, have you seen Jeb today? I didn't see him in the hallway this morning, and he's not in the lunchroom. I even checked the library and the computer lab." "No, Monica. I haven't seen him anywhere," replied Kaori. https://i.imgur.com/YpqNqEL.png Before the second class started, Monica tried texting Jeb.
To: Jeb Harris From: Monica Sharpe
Hey Jeb, its Monica. Where R U? Haven't seen you at school today.

Part 2: The Farm
Jeb had texted Monica the address to his farm earlier today. Willow Creek wasn't very far from Copperdale, so Monica rode her bike there. She walked up the front steps and knocked on the door. A young man about her age came to the door. "Um... Is this the Harris residence?" she asked. https://i.imgur.com/WA23LDC.png "Hey," said a familiar voice. "Jeb?" Monica couldn't believe it! It was Jeb! And he wasn't wearing his bag! Come on in, Monica. Come meet my folks! https://i.imgur.com/qyYGy1V.png Monica went into the house. Jeb's dad Cleatus introduced himself, while Jeb started the fireplace. "So, what do you do for a living, Mr. Harris?" asked Monica. https://i.imgur.com/zSkqPuL.png "Me?" said Cleatus, "Well, besides being a farmer, I'm an inventor!" "Really?" said Monica. She was a bit surprised, since you don't hear of many people who are both farmers, and inventors. "Do you invent farm stuff?" asked Monica. "Nope!" replied Cleatus, "Now how 'bout them chicken sliders Jeb kept tellin' us we needed to make when you came," Cleatus seemed in a hurry to change the subject. After eating, Jeb took Monica outside to see their chickens. "These are our chickens," said Jeb. There's 8 of 'em. https://i.imgur.com/OpNF8Ia.png Monica enjoyed petting and playing with the chickens for a while. https://i.imgur.com/DADlz0G.png "So Jeb, have you heard about the school dance coming up this Saturday?" asked Monica. https://i.imgur.com/cpt4H0R.png "Uh... Yeah, I think so," said Jeb. "I'm really excited for it, but..." Monica trailed off. "What is it?" asked Jeb. "It's just...I don't know how to dance. Like, slow dance. What if...someone...asks me to dance? I won't know what to do," said Monica. "Well then, I'll just have to teach you," said Jeb, "Follow me." Monica followed Jeb over to the barn. https://i.imgur.com/QgH5dHy.png "Wow! This place is really cool!" said Monica. They headed upstairs, where a dance floor had been built. "May I have this dance, Ms. Sharpe?" said Jeb, after turning on the radio. A slow melody began to drift from the speakers. https://i.imgur.com/W7q9bFz.png "Now, hold my hand, and...here we go." https://i.imgur.com/70EICdn.png They danced for what seemed like forever. Monica looked deep into Jeb's green eyes. It felt as if they were the only two people in the world. https://i.imgur.com/Ysw47b1.png https://i.imgur.com/hB8apsN.png https://i.imgur.com/EiNMMHN.png https://i.imgur.com/aXfubHK.png "See, that's not so hard, is it?" said Jeb. https://i.imgur.com/bvYbpDH.png "Mr. Harris, you are quite the expert at this!" said Monica. "Well, dancing is easy compared to playing football with a bag on your head," Jeb laughed. https://i.imgur.com/rSfEYTe.png As the song came to an end, they stepped away from each other, wishing they could freeze this moment in time. "Monica, there's somethin' I've got to ask you," Jeb said. He got on one knee... https://i.imgur.com/K5bk10s.png
...and reached into his pocket... https://i.imgur.com/xSrPpGW.png
"Monica, will you go to the dance with me?" https://i.imgur.com/NfaZDnW.png "Oh Jeb!!! Yes!!! Of Course I will!!!!" Monica could hardly catch her breath she was so happy. She couldn't believe what just happened!
"Oh, look at the time! I was supposed to be home an hour ago!" https://i.imgur.com/d8uo2yn.png Monica and Jeb said goodbye to one another, and Monica headed home, hoping she wouldn't be in trouble for staying too long. https://i.imgur.com/aWNQ1En.png She dreamed all night about her wonderful dance with Jeb. She couldn't wait for Saturday!
Thanks for reading!

So, Jeb asked Monica to the dance! The question now is, what about Wolfgang Munch? How will he take the news?
I know you were all probably hoping to see Jeb's face, but you can't see it just yet. Remember, this is Chapter 3.5. Jeb's face will be revealed in Chapter 4. (But apparently, Monica thinks he's handsome.)
You're also probably wondering why Jeb didn't show up for school today. All I'm saying is this: Those dance moves must have took a lot of practice! (How did Jeb know that he and Monica would end up dancing? I don't even know, and I wrote it!)
Also, the scene with the chickens took a long time to get the pictures right, so...the chickens had a visitor. :o https://i.imgur.com/05JulaG.png
