A big thanks to Samantha for the nice review! I hope you and new (if any xD ) readers will enjoy this chapter too! Sorry for the small pause...
Disclaimer: I repeat; I don't own any Sim related products! I'd also like to say that many of the words I use here will be copied from the Simlish dictionary written by Nils877 on the forum of the Sims 2 site. Some words will be used by their meanings, and not as they are used in the game. xD ex: Whup a doo-oo: is used when the Dad takes the toddler out of the crib, but I decided to keep it for when he picks the toddler out of the chair. xD
Chapter 2:
"Wha...?" Amy asked in shock. She couldn't believe what she was hearing! Thinking it was one of Jason's pranks, she turned around to face the other side of the room. What she saw made her drop the phone and left it dangling from the wall. Instead of her usual room, which was furnished quite modestly and had her brother sleeping in the bed opposite from her, it was a very big and wealthy-looking room, which contained two other beings.
Next to the window, there was a cradle and play area for a child. Approaching cautiously, she saw that the cradle contained a child which resembled her Sims toddler exactly! Though he looked more realistic than in the game.
'Wait... if that person said something that sounded Simlish... and this toddler's identical to the one I had made in the game... then that means...' She froze all of a sudden and flexed her ears. She heard someone sleeping soundly just behind her. She turned around to look at who was sleeping in the bed which was almost in the corner, leaving only enough space to get in. 'It's... It's... my husband.' She thought, trying not to faint from the surprise.
Looking at the clock not too far from the bed, she noticed it was still only 6am, so she would still have time to explore before most of the Sims would wake up. Suddenly, Amy realised something, 'my brother must be here too!! Or... at least his Sim version'
She ran quietly 'till his room, where only his Sim wife was sleeping. She felt tears start to accumulate in her eyes. She couldn't believe that she would be stuck in this life without her brother! 'If everyone here speaks Simlish, I am going to go crazy and lose my English!! Oh, if only my brother would be here to keep me sane!!!'
"Hey there kiddo, what'cha doing on the floor?" she heard coming from the end of the corridor. Looking up, she saw the young man to who belonged the voice that she recognised.
"Jason!!! Wow, I am so happy to see you!" Amy ran and gave a big hug to her big brother.
"I can understand why..." Jason laughed, "I was just as shocked as you when I first woke up. I didn't want to startle you, so I decided to wait for you to wake up."
"Do you know how we got here? Are we going to stay here for long? How can we understand what the other Sims are saying? What do we do?!?" she asked, looking up to her brother for advice as usual.
"Look Amy, I may be smarter than you," with that, he grinned, "but I am as clueless as you on this subject. All I know is that we look on the bright side. We are living in a big home, with almost unlimited funds and we can do whatever we want! I checked the calendar and I have no idea what it says, but today's entry shows a big balloon. I guess one of my usual parties!"
"I guess you're right... Oh, I hear Charlie crying again... I guess I'll go and try to understand what he wants!" She said with a small forced laugh and headed to her son.
With that, Jason turned away and walked to the backyard. 'This party's going to be a blast!'
"So, what do you want Charlie?" asked Amy, as she took out the black-haired toddler out. He made some babbling noises and looked at his mother with a sweet smile. She put him on his potty, knowing that he always wanted to go when he woke up. The youngster did what he had to do and suddenly had an image of a potty floating over his head. 'Oh! He's potty trained now!!' she thought with excitement.
"Now, let's go feed you." She smiled as she took the child to the very big kitchen. Putting him in his chair, she opened the refrigerator to try to find a bottle. "How about... this milk?"
"La la..." Charlie muttered as he drank from the bottle. Suddenly, he laughed, waving to the Sim that came into the room.
When Amy turned to see if it was her brother, she was face to face with her Sim husband. His not-so-virtual face smiled and leaned in to give her a kiss. Panicking, Amy jumped away, remembering the only Sim word that she knew:
"Uh-uh!" she shook her head as she said that, feeling a little guilty, since there were suddenly two red minus signs appearing over his head. He shook it off, and went over to Charlie.
"Whup a doo-oo" He lifted his son out of the chair and went to wash the bottle.
Feeling rather uncomfortable, Amy decided to go away for a while. She was about to go call a taxi leave, when she heard the doorbell ring. Jogging over to the door, she opened it and saw a few Sims standing outside, dressed in their party clothes. She didn't remember how to say 'hello' in Simlish, so she only shook their hands or waved. They all went inside, through the house and into the backyard, where Jason had already started to barbecue.
'This is going to be a looooong day...' Amy thought with sadness.
(Not exactly long and too interesting, but I'll put in some more surprises later. xD So yeah, thanks for reading! =3 )
