Hiya (: It's that time again—updates time! I just hope I can remember how my Sims' lives have gone since the beginning…

"Hey, Jace, what are we doing tonight? Because I think we should go out on the town." Paige snaked her arms around Jace's neck. Jace sighed, but just quiet enough so Paige would not hear him. He hated lying to her—well, that was untrue because he was lying to her with every word he said—but he had no choice. New town, no drama. He didn't want to make it into a repeat of their teenhood. That was a bad time.

"Actually, I was planning on going out with some pals tonight. Sorry honey," he looked up to her, "maybe tomorrow." Paige sighed. He did this often, but she knew he had good intentions so she tried to her fullest extent to ignore it and hope he wasn't using that old excuse to lie to her about something that she wouldn't like him doing.

"You say that all the time. We'll go out tomorrow, promise?" Jace reluctantly agreed and went back to his business. Gina, having just walked into the room, crossed her arms. She hated seeing them together, and not because she was jealous. She didn't want to see the day that Jace breaks Paige's heart. She knew that Jace was not the kind of guy to be trusted, but unfortunately she didn't have the heart to tell Paige. Besides, even if she did, Paige would not believe her.

"You know, there's more to Jace than what he's letting you see." Paige looked confused.

"What? What do you mean?" She asked. Gina switched her weight between hips.

"I mean he's hiding something from you."

"Why would he keep a secret from me? We're in love!" Paige exclaimed. It killed Gina to see the innocence written in her friend's eyes. Gina shook her head and walked past Paige as her phone rang. Gina saw the caller I.D. said 'Beau Merrick', and that made Gina smile.

"Hey, Gina, what's up?" Beau greeted into his phone, ignoring his noisy roommates. They were always being noisy, especially the girls. It was just their way of messing with his personal life.

"Hey, Beau! Nothing much, just chilling at home. You?" He heard her answer through his phone. He liked hearing her voice.

"So, what are you doing tonight?" He asked. She responded with a simple nothing much, which made him happy.

"Did you want to go to Plasma with me tonight?" He asked. He was delighted when she said 'yeah, sure!' and planned a date at the local vampire club. He was glad she'd accepted the date, because since he met her he'd had this weird feeling that arose when he saw her or heard her.

Gina scrambled to hang up the phone and ran to Paige and squealed excitedly about her date. Paige congratulated her and Gina asked excitedly for assistance picking out an outfit. For the next hour, Gina tried on a variety of outfits.

Beau finally found the apartment building Gina had led him to via the phone earlier and walked inside. Now waiting for the elevator, he fixed his jacket nervously. He'd gone on a few dates before, but not one that made him this nervous. He's always been so calm, cool and collected about going on dates; but somehow this girl made him feel different. He didn't know what it was about her that made him feel so different, but he pushed the feeling back and folded back his sleeves.

The elevator came to his floor, so he stepped inside it and pressed the button for Gina's floor. A short elevator ride seemed troublingly long for him. The way to the top felt longer than it was. He imagined how he would start their date. Should he be a little elegant? Should he use manners, be a gentleman? Like all those smooth regular guys do on dates? Or just use that advice his roommates gave him: just be himself? That seemed the sensible thing to do, so he'd try that first. The elevator doors slid open and he didn't see anyone in his eyesight so far. Before he could bellow a hello into the house, a blonde girl walked past and stopped when she saw him.

"Oh, hello there! You must be Beau. Gina told me you guys were going out tonight." She said. Beau nodded. He didn't feel it necessary to assume anything of her character; he was just waiting for Gina. She smiled and silently observed him and he stood awkwardly. Soon enough she left to go get Gina and Beau stood outside the elevator, stuffing his hands in his pockets awkwardly. He noticed a man with messy hair sitting on the couch, watching TV. He didn't know who she lived with, so he was going to contradict his vampric personality and be polite by ignoring him. Gina's voice travelled down the hall, saying she would be right out. Beau nodded, knowing she didn't see him. Patience is a virtue, he thought.

Soon enough, Gina came out of her room in a stunning zebra-print dress with pink stitching. She had matching black gloves, diamond necklace and bracelet. She really knew how to accessorize, that's for sure. To go from her usual pink and white tube top with jeans and matching shoes to this beautiful dress was impressive in his eyes. It almost made her look good enough to eat. (Unfortunately being a vampire, that was all too literal.) He smiled at her and they started on their way to Plasma 501. It was a common place in town for Vampires to meet and hang out, hence the name Plasma 501. He was excited to bring her there tonight.

"So, whatcha been up to since you moved to good old Bridgeport?" He asked as the cool night air hit them when the door to the apartment complex brought them outside.

"Oh, not much. I got a job at Plumbob Pictures the other day, been to a few clubs. Just getting the feel of the town." She responded. Beau nodded and they soon found their way to Plasma 501. Going to the upper levels of the building and sneaking past the bouncer, they sat to order a drink at the bar.

After talking through a few drinks, dancing for a few hours, then socializing for another bit of time, the owner of Plasma said that it was closing time, so everyone had to leave. Gina and Beau were laughing heavily about something as they walked out.

"You know, it's a good thing we didn't drive because I'm kinda drunk." Gina laughed. She sobered thanks to the cool air. It was the large moon that shone onto his smile that made her notice his fangs as she hadn't before. She'd seen some different looking teeth, and noticed he was a bit pale, but never really put two and two together. He was brushing his tongue across his fangs as if to say he was hungry for someone's blood. She felt nervous. Their walk home was slow-paced as they talked more.

Soon enough they reached Gina's apartment building and stopped outside the entrance to say goodnight. Gina could still see his fangs and still felt nervous about them. She'd caught him eyeing her neck quite a few times, but didn't say anything about it because she didn't want to start anything. He smiled at her.

"Well, thanks for tonight. I had a really fun time." Gina said.

"No problem. It was fun." They were silent for a while. Beau stared at Gina's beautiful dress in admiration. It made her neck stand out a bit more. He leaned closer to her slowly. What ran through Gina's head was does my breath smell okay? Oh my gosh, he's going to kiss me! But what ran through his head was she looks a bit tasty…he couldn't help it, it was a full moon night and his vampric instinct was taking over. The more he leaned in, the less he could resist. Soon enough, his teeth were dug into her neck as he tasted her delicious blood. He enjoyed the taste more than normal when it came from a human instead of a juice box or plasma fruit. It was like a vampire's treat.

As he took his teeth out of her neck, Gina fell to the ground. Beau took her up to her room and left a note for her when she woke up.

Well, it has been just a bit too long since I last updated. Sorrreehhh….I got way sidetracked by other stories. I promise I'll update more frequently than this, okay? Oh, and if anything ever seems off in a chapter, tell me okay? Because again, it's a new concept for me to be writing for a computer game. Review!
