"Natalie, the limo is here, hurry up!' Dylan called out. "Crap! I haven't finished adjusting the hem!", Natalie cried as she dived onto the limousine with her dress and a sewing kit. She made the adjustments on the way, and completed it as they arrived at school.
Natalie changed into her prom dress behind some bushes while Dylan and Dom was on lookout duty.
"Thanks boys for standing guard!", Natalie exclaimed. "That looks fabulous on you Scruffy!", commented Dylan. "Geez, thanks I think." retorted Nat. "And you guys could be spiffy secret agents, you know, like that moronic english Bean guy?", knowing full well that both of her brothers were going to be firemen. Both brothers just rolled their eyes.
Dylan had been secretly taking dance lessons, and literally swept Jazz off her feet. Several girls at the prom wished that they had asked Dylan to be their prom date after seeing his dance moves.
Natalie and her Army Cadet boyfriend Eric also spent the entire night dancing or kissing. Almost everybody at the dance asked where Nat had bought such a fantastic dress.
It was obvious to spectators that while Eric was usually a leader, he was definitely second in command to Natalie when it came to their relationship.
Dom and Maggie spent the entire night gazing into each others eyes, like love sick puppies, whispering their plans for the future, and basically avoiding every one else.
At the end of the night Dylan and Natalie where awarded crowns as King and Queen of the prom. Later on that night at the after-prom bonfire there may or may not have been some poor taste royal incest jokes that the triplets missed as they didn't attend the bonfire. Marcus and Casey had planned a family outing for the next day that required a very early start, so the Triplets went home after the dance and watched Nightmare On Sim Street 13 instead.
Chapter Notes:
Yay all expansions, all new cool stuff, like Proms!
I'd seen the prom through several other RLC blogs and was looking forward to experiencing my own.
I'd managed to have Dom and Dylan ask Maggie and Jazz to the prom, but Eric was constantly busy and only got invited the night before the prom..
The limo arrived on the night at mah house, the dates also arrived, without the formal wear that I'd spent four hours assembling in Cas. The Limo left without the dates, Natalie didn't wear her Prom dress that also took 3 or 4 hours to chose, my CAS is so horrifically bloated and laggy :P
Nat also didn't get a prom photo, and the boys prom partners are in their street wear.
At that point I deleted the in game prom photos and decided to 'stage' the event.
I'm hoping Proms aren't always this 'dodgy' :P
Proms are iffy. I've had some proms work perfectly, and some with all of the problems you've described. Another problem: if the teens aren't at home when the limo comes, they don't autonomously go to prom. I've also heard of people getting duplicate prom pictures.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I seem to have a lot of issues with proms and both school and university graduations, to the point where I'm thinking about staging requirements in the event of issues before any event now.
