Hi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the new forum so far. I know I am!! I'm Charla, a big fan of The Sims 4! ☺️ I was going to join on the old one, but, as it only had a week left I decided to wa...
As soon as she entered the market place Vanessa spotted the florist's table. She looked around, she saw a variety of different plants but none if which she came for. She continued to look, hoping the plant would magically appear. "I guess this Cowplant is the rarest thing they have." The young woman besides her couldn't help but overhear her. "What plant were you looking for?" She asked with a smile "Oh...um..." Vanessa wasn't sure if she should say "Oh I get it. It's a secret, huh?" She could sense her hesitation. "Well you can ask the florist to see if she can find it for you. She's helped me out plenty of times, she just asks for a finders fee."
Vanessa thanked her as she pointed to the vendor. Approaching her she began thinking the vendor will think she's crazy for what she was about to ask for, or simply tell her that plant doesn't exist. "Do you take requests for very rare plants?" "There's no plants I can't find. Of course I'll just need a finders fee" "Yes, of course." She motioned for her to get close. She raised her hand to cover her mouth as she whispered "I'm looking for a ...plasma fruit plant"
"What do you need that for?" Her eyes widened, she knew exactly who relied on its fruit. "On second thought, I don't want to know. I can find it, but due to its extreme scarcity I can only get you its fruit. Not the plant itself. It'll be a hefty price and this one will need to be upfront." Vanessa already figured it would be expensive. She pulled out her wallet and paid her price. "Perfect, it'll take some time but I'll have your order in at least 3-4 weeks." Immediately after a handshake, she thought of Fish, this was all for her after all. The sooner she got the plasma fruit, she could start working on a formula to help her most loyal friend.
While she waited for the fruit Vanessa continued putting in the effort at work, and once again was promoted. She wasn't so thrilled about the uniform though. To celebrate the promotion, Blossom and Mary invited her over for dinner. Her new schedule has her leaving work late in the evening so she was more than happy to accept. Picking up Fish she headed to the Greenburgs home, too tired to even change from her uniform. "Vanessa! We're so happy you can join us tonight." "Thanks, but do you smell that?" She got a whiff of something burning
"Smell wha-- Oh my goodness!! Mary!!!"
Grabbing a fire extinguisher Vanessa quickly rushed to Mary's aid. Covered in soot, Mary stood beside her family and watched as the flames were put out.
After being thanked Vanessa left the Greenburgs early to give the family space. They could have dinner another night. Still hungry she headed to The Caboose with Fish. It was almost empty aside from 3 other patrons, she grabbed a seat besides them at the bar. She wasn't expecting to have any one to talk to until the woman from the other day noticed her. "Hey, it's you! Were you able to get what you needed from the market that day?" "No not yet, it's coming though. Thanks for your help"
Catching the bartenders attention Vanessa ordered a plate of Fish and Chips. "I'll have what she's having" The woman added, "Let's get a table while we wait" Rising from her seat she moved over to the table and pulled out a chair. "Why not?" She thought and followed. "Before you ask, if you didn't order food I wouldn't have either. I just don't like eating up there... or eating alone at a bar..." "So you invite a total stranger to join you? We don't even know each other's name" she joked. "Haha, technically you're not a total stranger, but you have a point." She sheepishly admitted. "I'm Kelly Lemon" "Vanessa Stratton"
I love how your story is unfolding. I do hope Vanessa gets a handle on things and can soon request custody of Catalina before she grows up enough to be on her own. Good job! I'm enjoying your story very much.
rosemowDaniRose2143gidget1234EllupelluelluGalacticGalThank you 🙂 Seems some already have an idea for what the fruit is for, time will tell when they arrive. Fish will be very happy 😄 While Vanessa's goal is to ultimately get custody of Cat, she really needs a friend so she isn't contemplating it 24/7 🙂
I am now wondering why Vanessa wants the plasma fruit? Congratulations to her on getting the promotion, although she doesn’t like the new uniform! It was good that she was at the Greenburg’s home to put out the fire! It would have been a shock when the fire broke out! I hope that Kelly will be a good friend to her and be able to help her.
