Chapter Three: Gettin' Ambitious

Last time, I left off with how poor our guys are: not even able to afford more than a urinal and a sink, much less an entire bathroom. They only have about maybe $100 left to their name.

 I guess Mikey realizes how dire the monetary need is and starts focusing on his education about 5 hours before school starts. Which is like 4 AM.

But he's not having too much luck.

 WHOA. Look at how the lighting affects the computer screen! 0.0

I love Mikey's cute little face while he's playing. Go ahead, kid, get that fun in before you have to suffer through school.

Mikey: Oh, yeah...
Oops.

Take a look at that stink trail!
Mikey: Shut up.

 I found out the busdriver's name is actually Perry Eliot.
Perry: What we doin' today, Mikey?
Mikey: Let's try again, Agent P.
Perry: Heck yeah! *peels out*

Um...

Perry: That's not supposed to happen.
Shirley: Do do do...
The advantages of being a crazy old lady. So much for Coward Shirley!

Mikey: FUDGENUGGETS

Shirley: *cackle* Take that, suckas!

She very narrowly avoids a horrific accident on the remainder of her journey.

Luckily, she was already headed to the hospital. I have a new respect for you, Shirley. You're a BAMF!

His pretties are the first thing Gee sees every morning when he wakes up. I like this set up. Gee, however, seems to be getting bored with them now that he has his computer. And, well, the possibility of Constance.

...I've never seen a Sim think of this. *looks closely* Ohhhh... He's peeing. That's why. Thinking of waterfalls while peeing. That's actually really great, EA.

Gee is pretty. AHEM, I mean... Guess who he's caaaaaaalling.

Actually he was just ordering pizza, but guess who he's calling later.
The pizza dude is Bill Potts. I once played a game where he married one of the social workers, Lana Rodriguez, and they had 3 kids of their own and 3 adopted children and they all ate pizza all the time because they had the Pizza Apreciator hidden trait (except for Lana). That was a frustrating but fascinating game. Built a mini mansion just for it. Also, they both had marvelous genes.
Annnnnyway...

Bill: It's Gee Way... OHMYGOSH... OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH WHAT DO I SAY?
But Gee just takes the pizza and walks away. Poor Bill.

Gee! He wants to cremate you in his pizza oven! This is not good.

And then he just stands there, waiting.
Bill: I just want to know if he likes it!

But before Gee can even sit down and take a bite, Bill is off. I imagine he's probably yelling "he haaaaates it!!!" as he runs. We'll be calling you, Bill!

NO GEE. YOU CAN'T HAVE PIZZA HYBRID CHILDREN.

He wins my favour back by sitting pretty. He knows my weakness for unique sitting positions when it comes to Sims.

Constance can't come over right now (Sadface) so I send Gee to the library since he wants to learn the handiness skill. And that's where he meets Laurel Grisby of the Grisby family known for their unique facial features. Unfortunately, for every person person plus they usually have 2 person person minuses. -______-

Oh, hey, Mikey! Look at you, autonomously being a dedicated student. Way to start really taking over this legacy.
I swear he sneered at me.

Laurel and Gee really do not get along. So when he comes home, he immediately blows off steam by making more Inappropriate Forum Comments. Hide yo kids.

Gee: Miiiiiikey! Stop sleeping so I can be Inappropriate!

He scars Mikey by giving himself a sponge bath. This poor child...

I buy them a shower instead so Mikey never has to be put through that again, even though they'll still shoo each other out.

But Mikey's too busy thinking of other things. Could it be because of  the girl he just met at school, Lulu?

Working on it, Gee. (Since I have the Grim's Door of Life and Death, I discovered that if he really does want to end up with Constance, they can have children. Buuuuut it'll have to be Gee that carries them. Cryptically, of course.)

Mikey dreams about the important things.

While Mikey takes a shower the next morning, Gee immediately calls up Constance as soon as he's out the door.

Gee: Send pics!
I don't know if this is good or bad.

 Gee: MIIIIIIKEY, hurry up! I'm hungry! I'm gonna DIIIIIIE!
So overdramatic...

Uh-oh. Gee's computer senses are tingling.

Mikey is inside playing chess on Gee's computer because he wanted to learn logic. Also because he wanted to steal it from Gee.

Gee retaliates by going to the bathroom RIGHT BESIDE MIKEY and scarring him for life yet again. This poor child. The things he's seen...

I've never seen him run out of there faster.

Mikey: I believe in you, Agent P.
Agent P (his name is totally Agent P now): *nods aggressively*

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it)Shirley has left for work early. Guys, I think she's catching on.
Mikey & Agent P: :(((

Gee chats with Constance some more while Mikey's at school. Heaven knows what they're talking about based on the conversation earlier.

So we have a new newspaper boy now. It may have done that because Mikey met Manuel Romo, our old one. Apparently, this one (I can't remember his name which is awful because it was awesome) wants to beat up people. He sticks around for a bit just to laugh at Gee.
Newsie: Ha HA! You really think someone's going to hire YOU?!

Yes, Gee finally rolled a job-related wish. He....wants to be an athlete. Okay, we'll try it. The world needs another drug-scandal athlete, right?
Gee: *very professional glare*

 He's had a wish to swim in the ocean, but Riverview is called Riverview for a reason. How about swimmin' with the fishies before you catch 'em, Gee? (He's not an Angler but gets TONS of fishing-related wishes)

Gee: WHOA! What?!
Salmon: OHMIGAWD. That hair!

















 Catfish: It's GLORIOUS!

Gee swims away as fast as he possibly can.
Salmon: WAAAAAAIT!

Uh-oh...

Apparently, Gee doesn't like people (or aquatic creatures) complimenting his hair.
All the poor fishies: SWIM AWAY!!!

(I LOVE these fishing shots)
Gee does...mostly well. A decent haul. When he's not flipping onto his butt, of course.

Ooh! Mikey's already turning into a ladies man. He's wormed his way into going over to Keisha Brewster's house. Apparently, she's a classmate that likes showing as much of her , albeit pretty, skin as possible.
Agent P: Go get 'em tiger.

Elaine Joy disapproves.

But then rides off into the midday light.


What's next for our unwilling founder(s)?
Will Mikey win over LuLu or Keisha? Will he be rejected by both? Does Elaine Joy remember her past with alternatetimeline!Mikey and is dead-set upon ruining his love life in this one?!
How about Gee? Will his first day at work go well, or will they run a surprise drug test as part of hazing? And what about everything with Constance?
All these answers and more in the next post of The Complete and (Mostly) Unadulterated Adventures of Mikey Way (...and Friends)
