Lizzy’s problem with Justin Kim was becoming quite worrisome for Staphon.  Not to mention he was really starting to miss reading the sports section in the paper every morning.  Everyone was tired of picking up trash.  Every time someone tried to talk to Justin in hopes of getting him to leave them alone, he would just make himself at home.  It seemed the only good thing to come from Lizzy having gone on a date with Bobbie was the pinball machine the young man had left in the middle of the night.  Staphon was glad he’d been awake when it was dropped off. 

Mel’s moving out added another problem for Staphon.  It may have only been a case of poor timing, but it was still a problem.  Melissa had the flu.  Staphon, had had a twenty-four hour case of it, but Melissa was very sick with it. 

Stacey being an inquisitive knowledge sim spent a few hours keeping her sick mom company.  Stacey was full of questions about her siblings, trying to understand the crazy mess between her brother’s Mel and Sam.  She wanted to learn more about her brother Steve.  She wanted to make sense of Justin’s reaction to Lizzy having a date with Bobbie.

One of Stacey’s friends popped in for a visit.  A young red haired girl named Kendra Pleasant.  Lizzy chatted politely with Kendra while she waited for Stacey.  As the conversation started to lag, Lizzy’s attention was drawn to the windows behind the couch where Kendra sat.  Gordon Hurt, a townie Lizzy had once dated was walking by.  Without a second though of Kendra, Lizzy ran from the house to greet Gordon. 

“Hey, it’s been a while,” Lizzy said with a smile.  She stood out front talking with Gordon for a bit, ignoring Justin as he kicked over the trash can. 

Lizzy enjoyed two chemistry with Gordon.  Though she couldn’t recall much of how she had developed a crush on him, she couldn’t help but think how cute their kids would be.  She had to be sure though if he would be a good match for her.  She knew there was a growing disapproval of residents marring townies.  Lizzy didn’t have anything against townies.  Her mom had once been a townie. 

Only a date would help Lizzy know for sure if a townie was someone she could spend the rest of her life with.  She asked Gordon, and he accepted.  They date was a lot of fun for being just at her house.  By the end of it they both felt a want to get married to each other.  Lizzy didn’t know if she should rush into it.  After all, she had rushed things a bit on her date with Bobbie.  Just barely dodging becoming another single mom in the neighborhood.

The next morning Melissa was still sick with the flu.  Lizzy had already gone to work and the carpool would be arriving for Staphon soon.  Stacey would be home alone to tend to her sick mother.  Staphon didn’t want to leave the teen alone to tend her mom and have to deal with the headache of Justin Kim.  He made a few phone calls.  Only Saturday Lames was willing to keep an eye over the teenage girl.

Saturday brought her son, Morty with her.  It was the first time Stacey had met him.  A quick flirt revealed they had chemisty for each other.  The young teens decided to spend the day hanging out infront of the house.  Ever the vigilant mother, Saturday joined the two teens, guiding them away from more adult type conversations. 

The day passed by quickly and Justin free.  As Staphon returned from work, Justin ran by stealing the newspaper.  Everyone yelled at him, but he kept on running with Stephon’s paper. 

Lizzy returned home with some good news.  Gordon had pulled some strings at work and gotten her a promotion.  She felt moved by his actions.  It was much more appealing to her fortune nature then Bobbie’s pinball machine. 

After the company had left, Stacey was getting restless.  She really wanted a cell phone.  She called a taxi, then realizing it was 2am she asked Lizzy to go with her. 

“I can get a phone and we can buy everyone new cloths. Dad’s gonna be an elder soon, he’s gonna need something to wear.”  Stacey reasoned with her sister. 

Wanting to spend more time with her sister, Lizzy readily agreed. 

Stacey got her phone from the machine at Cold Issue Cloths while her sister picked out new cloths for everyone.

“don’t forget a wedding dress.” Stacey teased with a wink. 

While the girls were shopping Claire Kim appeared.  Stacey wasn’t sure what to do, but when she saw Lizzy talking to her, she warmed up to the idea of being nice to Claire.  She even talked to the pregnate sim’s belly.  Stacey was having so much fun talking to all the different sims.  Her little shopping trip was made better when Mel appeared.  Stacey ran to him and gave him a big friendly hug.  She miss her older brother even though it had only been a few days since he moved out.

Sunday brought Staphon’s Birthday.  While he was at work Lizzy and Stacey put ballons everywhere.  Melissa invited all the boys to come home for the party.  Lizzy surprised her dad by getting both of his brother’s sons, Dean and Stanley Caliente to come.  Brian Broke joined the party along with his daughter Kendra Pleasant.  Sydney Roseland had stopped by earlier in the day and stayed for the party.  Stacey invited Morty over.

Staphon grew up well into an elder and everyone enjoyed some cake.  Sam and Dean had a pillow fight.  Steve chatted away with Stacey.  Lizzy got Stanley to dance with her like they use to do back in college.  Mel got a smulte going.  At some point Sam started cleaning up.  As the party started to wind down, Stacey got a first kiss from Morty.  Even Panda, the family’s wormrat was included as sims lined up to play with him.  Staphon found time to change his outfit to show off the cloths his daughters had bought for him. 

After a roof raiser of a party, Stacey fell right to sleep.  Lizzy started cleaning up.  As she went through the house gathering deflated balloons she saw her parents dancing together in the kitchen.  She knew that the kind of love they shared was what she wanted for her life.  She wanted someone who would cuddle under the stars in their underwear with her.  Someone who would ignore their own needs, just to share a romantic kiss.  Mostly she wanted someone who would dance with her long after the party was over.  She knew in her heart who she would marry.  She smiled to herself as she gathered the ballons from outside.
