The Amethyst Legacy Ch. 5 Into My Heart You Go

 
Welcome  back to the Amethyst Legacy, lovelies. As you can see the Amethyst family home has gotten a nice upgrade (thank you boyfriend of mine!) When we left off last time Alexandrite was hard at work to beat out his adorable brothers to become heir, while Topaz and Onyx had aged.

Topaz wasted no time. He hit the beach and bumped into Patricia Craig. 

"Oh, scuse' me," she murmured, walking past. Then she stopped. "Sorry, but do you know where the bistro  is?"

 Topaz was more than willing to help Patricia out.


I do believe it was her smile that did it for him. He smirked back at her, pulling out the charm. Patricia didn't seem to mind.


She never made it to the bistro. In fact with Topaz's persuasive charm he managed to bring her home.

Patricia looked away, shyness overtaking her. Topaz grinned. "I think she likes me," he thought. "Maybe, just maybe..."

 

He leaned in close...

But she pushed him away. "I'm sorry, but I just met you."

Poor boy, rejected for his very first kiss, but still gotta give the girl props. She's not the usual easy sim no siree bob. Topaz bit his lip. Maybe he really was a loser. As if being shoved into lockers wasn't bad enough. He sighed and watched her walk away.


The rejection stung, but Stile's found a way to cheer up his son. Topaz couldn't help but join his father. The music was infectious.


Even Robin shook her groove thang! *Shake your groove thing. Shake your groove thing. Ya ya ya*

(Totally thinking of Disney's An Extremely Goofy Movie disco scene...)

After the lovely shaking of the butt-ox, it was time for Robin to transition into an elder.

"What are these strange sparkles surrounding me?" Robin wondered. "So shiny!"

Warning--if you've never seen a barbie don't look at the next picture.

Mother F@#@3R!

Topaz is officially scarred for life (stupid glitchy CC)

 While I forced Robin to run to the dresser ASAP Onyx was back at the cake ready to age up.

 He sat there clapping his little hands. "Cake, cake!" he cried happily.

 Go-go boots activate! "CAKE!"

Here is our lovely little boy :)

 Another bathroom has been added and two more bedrooms for Topaz (red carpet) and Alexandrite (Blue)

 A makeover later and Patricia seemed much more enthused about seeing Topaz again. Topaz stared at her as she walked through the door. She was beautiful, her hair falling in waves. A soft smile twitched at the corners of her lips as she met his eyes. This time he couldn't mess up. He couldn't lose his chance with someone so beautiful, with someone who made him feel this way. He would not be a loser, not today.

 This time Topaz had a plan. A few sweet words...

 Perhaps just a hug.

 Or two.

 He whispered a question into her ear and smiled.

 Warmness surged into his chest as their lips met.


"Be mine?" he whispered.


She didn't hesitate. "Yes."

 As they embraced Alexandrite rounded the corner. He stared at the two. Why did everything come so easily to his brother? A beautiful girl? The affection of their parents? What was so wrong with him?

Oh Alexandrite please don't fret. This sad face makes me quite unhappy. :( Even his new look didn't seem to help. Aw I really do care about his happiness.

 The very next day Stiles played for tips in the park (as per my boyfriend's instructions...more money meant more building time for him) while Alexandrite wandered the park.


This woman caught his eye. Daughter of one of the Frio brothers and Clair Ursine. She seemed uninterested, but for a fleeting moment I do believe she smiled at him.

 Ahem, Paiden Heart, of Fury Red's Heart Legacy, decided to stop on by. :) How pretty is she?

My lovely sim readers, I do have some bad news for you guys. 

Well not quite yet. ;)

Finally, after the kitchen was put out it was Alexandrite's turn to be in the spotlight. This is my day, he thought with a smile.

Too bad Stiles had other plans. Poor Alexandrite can never seem to win.

 Alexandrite stood there excited for his transition into adulthood, but unbeknownst to him his father was dying in the bathroom behind him and no one seemed to notice he was aging.


Anger boiled in him as lights sparkled and flitted around him. What did it matter anyway? If no one cared about him, he wouldn't care about them.


Look up please...

Alexandrite could feel a change. Something was different. 

 With a quick fix at the mirror he felt even better. I do believe the ugly duck has grown into those strong cheek bones of his...


Stiles left with a wrinkled smile and somehow he was at peace.
Losing the only man she'd ever been with, Robin felt the pain like no other. It pierced through her. "Why now?" she moaned. Her heart felt like it was breaking little by little. "What am I going to do? Onyx is just a boy," she whispered as the tears stained her cheeks.

Alexandrite heard her cries, but for once he didn't care. No one had cared about him, always favoring his brothers. Why should he care about them? He stormed out the door and into the night.

With his newfound looks in tow Alexandrite decided to hit up the local dive bar where he ran into this hot mama. His direct line of sight says one thing. "Boobs?"

With some urging from the inner voice in his head (me) Alexandrite awkwardly tried to dance with the opposite sex. 

 Apparently sweaty palms don't scare this girl.

Step one two three. One two three.

Alexandrite tried to focus on dancing. He'd finally aged up, girls were taking an interested in him, and yet, there was still something bothering him. Even though his father's death merely proved that the universe was out to take his spotlight he realized his anger was uncalled for. The thought of his poor mother crying in the bathroom and his father's untimely departure from this world were too much.

Alexandrite broke down into tears. Warm arms wrapped around him as he whimpered. He knew what he had to do. His mother needed him, now more than ever. He ran.

Out of breath and full of a desire to forgive his parents Alexandrite ran through the door and gripped his mother by the arms. "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm so sorry." Robin fought the tears as she stared at her oldest son. 

"So am I," she whispered. 

Alexandrite sucked in a breath. "I'll help you. I won't leave you or Topaz and Onyx like this. I'll help however I can..."

Stiles, he was always meant to be hers.
