EP 7 - Goodbye Twinbrook, Hello Bridgeport

In Twinbrook

It was night time and Ryan was out to collect some money from the property. Rafael haven't seen Jade for quite some time and begin to miss her. Rafael took out the cell phone and dialed for Jade.

Rafael: Hi Jade... Can you come over for a moment?

Jade: But it's 9. Not long after, I would have to leave then...

Rafael: Sorry but I just want to talk to you.

Jade came over. Look as gorgeous as ever, it blew Rafael's mind off to wonderland. Ryan came home, in time to see Rafael greeting Jade. Rafael noticed Ryan's awkward reaction.

Ryan: Jade, what are you doing here?

Jade: Raf called me over.

Rafael: Sorry, just thought wanna talk to her for a bit.

Ryan: Uhmm Yeh ok.

Rafael: Jade, you have aged up! You look beautiful...

Ryan: Oh yeh she is a charmer~

Rafael gave a hard look at Ryan. What the heck is this guy talking about? Jade began to feel uneasy.

Jade: Is your father always home this late, Raf? Leaving his son at home alone while he is out to party like a single man?

Rafael: Uhmm... Yah. Well he is single so I guess its OK for him to be going out with some women out there. He is searching candidates to be Mom for me.

Ryan: Yerp.. Single alright. *forced a painful smile*

Jade enforced a really strong stare at Ryan before she blow up.

Jade: A mom...? WOW! So even think about making his son's girlfriend to be a mom to his son?

Rafael: *with blur look* wh-wh-what? What did you say?

Jade: You heard me! Son's girlfriend... became a mother to the son!

Rafael looked at Ryan who is now displaying all the guilty look. They must have done something they shouldn't.. What happened between them that Rafael didn't know of? Rafael turned to Ryan and demand an explanation.

Ryan: Earlier today, in the hot tub, we sort of... Skinny Dip and...

Rafael: I COULDN'T BELIEVE YOU... MAKE OUT WITH MY GIRLFRIEND!

Ryan: She isn't the right girl to be your girlfriend, Raf.

Jade: Oh so the bad image is now on me?

Ryan: *infuriated* YES! You didn't even refuse the first time I asked you. You willingly accepted it.

Jade: You were flirty and seductive!

Rafael: Jade you could have declined that! And Dad how could you do that to my girlfriend!

Ryan: She is not your girlfriend anymore, Rafael. She is a pervert who just wanna get laid. Even with her own boyfriend's DAD!

Rafael: That's it! I had enough of you being like a free man young adult, Ryan!

Ryan: Fine! Go ahead and kiss her ass if you want! I am going to bed!

Rafael stood there looking at Jade in disbelief. Rafael made the move and they ended up sparring.

 However, Rafael lost with the score of 2 - 1 with Jade. Rafael was mad and told Jade to leave. He head off to the backyard and worked on his martial art skill until he mastered it. Rafael was still heartbroken from the fact that his girlfriend cheated on him with his father.

Rafael worked on his drum skill, imaging those snare drums tongs were Jade's faces.

Suddenly while he was playing it, he heard someone working on the Miner behind the walls. It is Ryan. Probably digging hole for his own grave before Rafael kill him.

The sun rises and Rafael swam for a moment before trying out the keyboard and the new composition for the drum.

 Meanwhile, Ryan got woke up and straight away worked on the miner again. He finish up the hole and do another. He picked up some gems that he sent for cut. On the second hole, Ryan could see a passage way.

He climbed down to investigate the hole. After investigating, Ryan got 200 simoleans for being brave enough going through the dark tunnel only to meet an end to it. Ryan fill up the hole and restore the lot's ground.

Rafael left for the day to the park. Rafael performed the newly composed music at the public. Then he played for tips. He get 71 Simoleans. Not much but enough to go for a lunch meal. He did attract quite a number of people to the park and create friendships.

Rafael got home to find Ryan just got out of the pool. He burnt himself from invention again. Trying out inventions in pajamas is crazy! Sometimes Rafael thinks that Ryan is insane and flirty yet kind even though it is not in his trait. Rafael thought maybe to sculpt Ryan in ice. That hunky body could be put on show with sculpted ice at the entrance.

While that, the washing machine broke. The maid was too dumb he broke the machine and couldn't fix it. After finish sculpting Ryan, he head on to fix the washing machine.

So mane foam flowing out and Ryan had to work with the non-stop flowing bubbles.

Finally done, Ryan felt queasy... The mood shows it came from that weird stone... Making him feel like puking. Ryan was too dizzy to decipher which ones were the unlucky gem. He threw all the gem from inventory and on to the table. He rushed to the toilet to throw up.

 

Ryan: That rock sure give weird glows... and weird effect.

Ryan went to the backyard to have a test run on the time machine that he had invented. He went to the future. The future must have something to do with the stone. Everything went bed and Ryan manage to escape from the crazy future without getting his body getting pierced by laser guns!

 Felt such a relief, Ryan touched his body and confirmed he is still alive. Paparazzi was there and she ran away when Ryan saw her. Uh-oh... From her facial expression, not good! I bet there would be a bad news from that biatch.

Ryan went to the bar to get a few drinks. He is trying to shake off the nightmare he had from time travelling. Making weird drinks on the bar, he drank all 4 cups and went dizzy...

Ryan woke up the next morning to receive the news and lose some friends.

News: Ryan Finomask has been rumoured to have been jailed last night by the police.

Ryan: WHAT THE EFF!!! Bitches won't keep their mouth shut! That was a time machine, doofus!

Ryan detonate the TV. Ryan went out to receive crazy, disgusting looks from people. This sucks like crazy! I never wanted this!

Ryan heard the muffles of their voices... "He WAS the town hero!" ... "He was Prancy's Principal in Twinbrook High!" ... "What a shame.. What a role model he is." ... "The mayor awarded him generously and he does bad things!" ... "You heard.. He was drunk lats night, the police had to apprehend him for drink driving! I saw him yesterday at The Red Rendezvous~" ..... And the comments went on and on and on...

Ryan went home, packed his bag along with other stuff (not much stuff was taken along). Ryan told Rafael to do the same instantly.

Rafael: Where are we moving to?

Ryan: Out of this town. That Gem just sucked my life to the core.

Rafael: We can throw it away, Dad. This doesn't have to be the way...

Ryan: I tried throwing it but it came back! And even if it is gone, the Sims won't stop talking bad about me!

Rafael: So where to now?

Ryan: Bridgeport...

In Bridgeport

 They have finally reached an apartment. The lift. That is something new to Rafael!
Rafael: Ah... So we are in the city life now huh...

 Ryan: Level 18, our floor. House on the right.
Clearly, Ryan had no choice but to choose an apartment. It is something they can afford for now.

 Rafael came in the house only to find an extremely small room just like the size of his room in Twinbrook.

 Ryan: Look, this is only temporary... I will find a better place for us. But for now... This is what I can do for us. I will buy another bed.

 Rafael: Saw the map, school is quite far from here... And my car, I left it in Twinbrook.
Ryan: There is no garage here.. SO I can't get you a new one. But as soon as I get us a proper house, I will get you a new one OK.

Rafael: awwhh Thanks Dad! You have never failed to make my life better from worst!

Ryan: My son deserves it after what I have put him through...

Rafael: I am sorry about the false news the paparazzis made. I understand about this changes.

Ryan: Hopefully, with this new life, I can lay low..

Not long after.... The Finomask household receives visitors. They gave a warm welcome in that really.. literally warm room. The lady in blue, Kristie, offered to show Ryan around the town to get familiar with. Rafael stayed at home and complete his homework.

 Kristie: Speedy car.. Sexy....
Ryan ignored her flirtatious comment and drove over to the bar as Kristie wanted.

 She showed him how to bribe the people to gain VIP access. She obviously think that Ryan was into those shit.. Maybe~~ But not when Rafael is still a teenager.

 Ryan got home pretty late, just to find Rafael already asleep. Probably tired from the move. Ryan slept in fear that his son might become a party animal if they live in the apartment for too long. The influence of the neighbours is already too great. Socialisation could make things worst!

 The next day, Ryan still wasn't familiar with the route so Rafael had to take the public transport instead. He took the train which has a stop right in front of school. Rafael was introduced to a rather huge class. School is much more different and scary over in Bridgeport, he guessed. The people look scary and girls have bigger bust here. Whutt....??

 Ryan went to the "daylight" bar to get a drink. He was in no mood to cook or whatever. So he head off to the bar. He couldn't find his way to the restaurant/cafe so he gave up in that big high rise city.

 Rafael got home, only to find no food!!!! Rafael went through the services list and was amazed....
BUTLER! 1k Simoleans per month! AWESOME! Rafael dialed for him and had to prepare a bed for the Butler.
Ryan was out surveying different private landed property.. AND FOUND ONE! Ryan rushed home and announced Rafael that they are moving!!!

Rafael: DAD THIS HOUSE IS HUGE AND COOL!!!!

Ryan: And guess what!!! The gate and the walls... Paparazzi can't get in!

Rafael: Dad.. how can you afford this? I mean long run...

Ryan: I know you bought the Butler service! I know..

Rafael: Sorry... We can cancel it if we don't have the money.

Ryan: No.. No.. No.. No worries. Don't care even... I'll get a job in the army.

 Rafael: Did that drink make you a bit... uh...
Ryan: Heck no Rafael! I will make some changes to this house and then, get you a new car (black one in the garage) since the public transport too far from here. Buy the drums, protable piano and guitar so you can form a band with your school mate.
Rafael: Sneak me in to the bar...
Ryan: Not gonna happen.. HAHA!

 That night, Ryan tried on invention and get burned... AGAIN!
Ryan: Life sucks but at least this doesn't suck big time like previous!
Butler: I have called the firefighter, they will be here in a moment.
Ryan was speechless. Uh.. I was a level 10 firefighter and I know very well how to put out fires... But whatever and Ryan just thanked the Butler. He stayed with the family but they don't have to tell him what to do. He just do his stuff. He cook every meal even when there are stock in the fridge.

 He kept the house clean, do the laundry no matter when and where...

 Rafael worked on his athletic skill. He wanna impress some lads with the muscles not the money... Good looks, money, girls... Famous bastard!

 Cardio and pumped iron, Rafael was a bit in shape already. Formation starts to be seen.

 The next day, Rafael drove to school in the fabulous speed 10 car. all the students eyed on him. Some that think he was a freak before, now think he is a cool dude. Rafael make another 2 friends on that day.

 Wonders in school, wonders at home... The butler always does his job right. The pole on the left side of the picture is a link from Rafael's room to the kitchen. The fastest way to go through the kitchen for meal and off to garage to get his car to school. Pretty neat plan huh!

Ryan had a day off before starting work so he went into the time machine and this time, back into past. It was a much pleasant journey compared to the future.

In this new life, 

they might find happiness then...

and would even stay put,

grow , live and die here..

In bridgeport..

Maybe...

To be continued....
