Scooter 1.3 - A Thousand Times Sorry


Welcome back to the Scooters.
Sorry that last update was for this save's standards, heavier. I promise it'll all be okay.
 



We begin today's update with...Francie reading her almost-30-year old son to sleep?

Francie: But this isn't a kid's book I'm reading him. It's a male novelist's droopy self-insert finding himself in New York City at the expense of a manic pixie dream girl. Age appropriate :-)

Sometime....

Percy: Hey, sorry, we're about to close! Tomorrow we open at...oh.

Sebastian: Uh...hey, Scooter. Percy. Am I too late?

Percy: Kinda. I close in three minutes. What are you...doing here?

Sebastian: I wanted to say sorry.

Percy: Okay...

Sebastian: ...

Percy: ...(clears throat)


Sebastian:
(sigh) Look. I made an ass of myself and I was really mean to you, all because I was a little inconvenienced by your request. That was unacceptable. I'm sorry. I promise I will try to do better in the future.

Percy: I accept your apology, Sebastian. You're right though, I really should've known to do stuff myself. I'm twenty seven! I own a store!

Sebastian: But I didn't have to attack you or your dad personally like that. That was unnecessary.

Percy: I...I'm glad you saw it like that.

Sebastian: And...I know things don't make up for words, but I got you this.... I hope it's okay.

Percy: Aw, Sebastian. You really didn't have--oh my god it's the French press I've wanted forever. I take it back. You're awesome, Sebastian.

Sebastian: Ah...haha. Haha. Thanks. I mean, no problem.

 
Percy: Y'know, you don't have to walk me all the way home.

Sebastian: Nonsense. I'm making it up to you. Let me have this.

Percy: Sebastian...! ...Thank you. I appreciate it.

Sebastian: Anytime, Scooter.

**✿❀ ❀✿**


Francie Chang really is dat bitch that writes herself. She does just shit. I love her.


Francie: I haven't remarried because I am simply too much woman.

 
Percy's phone: (bloop!)

Percy: Hellooo, new message.

Sebastian: Is that--was that Simder?!

Percy: Uh, yeah. Haha. I've had it for months at this point but barely get messages. Until today, I guess.

Sebastian: Oh. Ew. Creepy.

Percy: What's wrong with Simder?

Sebastian: A lot--a lot of creeps. Ahem. Lot of people you can't trust.


Sebastian: You should--you should go on dates with people you know and trust.

Percy: Like...? Remember I only moved to Newcrest a few months ago.

Sebastian: I--I don't know...uh...m--me?

Percy: (laughing) Sebastian! Get off it!

Sebastian: ...

Percy: ...oh. Oh! You were--you were serious!

Sebastian: N--never mind. Never mind, it's a dumb id--

Percy: Sebastian. Yes. We can go out. How's Friday sound?

Sebastian: Friday sounds...good.
 
**✿❀ ❀✿**
 
OwO what's this???


Another cheeky wee time skip later, it was Friday, the day of Percy and Sebastian's date.


They drank...

Sebastian: Can I get two Malibu rum & cokes?

Percy: Hey, I can pay for myself!

Sebastian: Nonsense.
 

They danced...

Percy: Aw, we missed the end of 'Physical'!

Sebastian: I'll ask them to play it again. Be right back.

Percy: You really don't have--

Sebastian: Nonsense!
 

 
 They got...accosted by whoever the fuck this is?

Brytani Cho, apparently idk: KEEP THAT SHIT INSIDE!

Sebastian: Do you hear that? It sounds like someone who hasn't landed a lead role in years.

Percy: I can't hear anything--I only smell really bad teenage-girl perfume.

Brytani: GRRRRRR!!


 
And at the end of the night, they took a breath outside.


Sebastian: Did you enjoy yourself?

Percy: Yeah....

Sebastian: ...oh. Yeah, but...?

Percy: (sigh) Sebastian, don't get me wrong. I had a lot of fun. I did. But you're trying too hard to force something to happen. I don't think either of us are ready to date right this moment.

Sebastian: Oh...well...yeah, you might...you might be right.

Percy: I like you, but that's a really recent thing. Remember how you spent the beginning of the year hating on me? What was that even about?

Sebastian: To...be honest, Scooter, I think I was jealous. You had so much of what I wanted.

Percy: Oh?
 

Sebastian: Your own business, a nice house, a mom that loved you, a dad that cared. Imagine--my dad sucked so much I envied a man who passed away. I wanted to have your life. And I took it out on you. (sigh) Wow. I guess it was time we talked about that, eh?

Percy: Oof, yeah. For sure.

Sebastian: I chunked it, didn't I? Maybe we should just forget--

Percy: What? No, man! Tonight was fun! Let's just do something more relaxed next time, okay? Less stress on us both.

Sebastian: Next...time? Oh--yeah, totally. Totally yeah. Next time.

Percy: (laughs) I don't know what I'm gonna do with you, Sebastian. And for the record...I forgive you.

Here's what happened during the next seven months at the Chang household...


Summer came and passed. Scooter's Blooms saw a little bit of a boom with its sales. At this point, Percy is almost 9k towards his goal of 30k in sales.



He and Sebastian became a little closer. Slowly, the walls started coming down. Sebastian let Percy into his world. They talked about their dads. They talked about their moms. They started stitching shut the raw, unattended wounds their childhoods left behind.


Francie would help with the garden, especially with how frequent sales were becoming. Except, where the hell did she get that?

Francie: Amazon honey :-)
 

Next, autumn came and passed. Sebastian celebrated his birthday for the first time in seven years. He had reason to, and something like a family to make it happen with him.



He and Percy became a little bit closer. It was scary, of course, and there was the doubt: maybe they were only getting closer because it was getting colder, and they didn't want to be left alone. But they had to trust that they were doing the right thing. Fear couldn't win over love. Not this time.


There was of course that uncancellable Alien abduction that came for Percy one night. Thankfully, he did not come back ass pregnant.


Winter came and passed. The cold weather gave Sebastian a chance to work on his culinary goal, and after completing Cooking, he's halfway there. There's just Baking left.


Christmas was a beautiful time for the family. Percy, in March, had been so anxious about big holidays, but he found that--nine months later--things weren't all that bad. No, they weren't all that bad at all.


But winter isn't a happy time. The cold comes in and takes what it pleases, and this time, it came for Francie Chang. After a life that was equal parts heartbreak and love, her time had come in the dead of winter. But she had the family she wanted all along, I think. That made it better in the end.

Goodbye, Francie. You will be sorely missed.

{A/N: It really was Francie's time. I can play on Long Lifespan all I want, but the inevitable will still come for us all.}

Percy:
Hey. How did you sleep?

Sebastian: Eh, alright. You?

Percy: I...it's really weird moving into mom's room. It's weird but...I still feel her here. But I'm not spiritual. You know?

Sebastian: No, I know. Neither am I. But this was her space and there are reminders of her everywhere. I hope she's okay with us sleeping in here....


Percy:
Are you kidding me? Looking back, mom was playing us both!

Sebastian: You thought so too, eh?

Percy: Every nice, dumb thing we did for each other was at her suggestion. The bouquets, the French press....

Sebastian: The going to the Velvet Lounge....

Percy: I don't think I would have done anything without her.

Sebastian: Hah, wow. Imagine if neither of us had listened to her...if we never did anything....


Percy:
I don't want to picture that. I love you, Sebastian. I'm glad we're here.

Sebastian: I love you too, Scooter. Let's get some breakfast.

**✿❀ ❀✿**
 

Did I take this picture only to show y'all what Percy and Sebastian's formal wear looked like?

Yes. Yes I did. Oh hey there's Jesminder Bheeda.


I know I portray Sebastian as kinda rough but he's so cute :(


Sebastian: I! Have! A boyfriend! Yeeeeehaw!


And because death is never permanent in the Sims 4, Francie's back baybee.

Francie: (sigh) Those boys! They start kissing and all of a sudden they're too busy to clean up!

**✿❀ ❀✿**

Sorry to all the Francie stans but it really do be like that. See you next time~
