Chapter Four: In Which Awkward Boys Become Awkward Boys with Girls

Last time, we left off with Gee getting a job and Mikey starting up his ladies' man ways. Let's just dive right in.

See the Plumbob? Agent P is trying to murder Mikey.

OF COURSE. Keisha goes free except for a bit of an arm clipping. She'll survive.

Mikey, however...

Oh, wow. Keisha lives right across from the school. No wonder Perry is murdering children. They're making him drive distances they can EASILY WALK.
Keisha: Dun care. I'm entitled.

I'm....not sure what's wrong with Mikey.

Oh. Apparently this plant is offensive.

Mikey: The plant. It's choking me! Can't breathe! Keisha, help!
"How to Flirt" with Mikey Way. Step 1: Incapacitate yourself

Mikey!!! Her dad is right behind you.
Step 2: Impress her dad with bold thinking.

Step 3: Completely ignore said girl in favour of appraising home decor.

 Step 4: Play hard to get by biking away after only a few minutes.

Step 5: Invite her over as soon as you get home.

Step 6: SUCCESS

Seems like he and Keisha really hit it off.

Even in his dreams, Mikey doesn't hesitate to tell Gee he's winning on the girl side of things.

And Gee doesn't hesitate to tell Mikey what a slob he is. (Which is ironic. We'll get to that later.)

Mikey dreams about fashion, crime, and wild parties. I'm...kind of scared.

Before school, in his swimwear, he chats up Keisha. He wore the swimwear to school as well. Probably to impress the ladies with his manly bald chest.

The mailman seems friendly enough, despite the fact that he just delivered bills to a house he knows can't pay them. *glares*

But Gee doesn't work until later and is focused on other things.

Like Cherry Kanto.

He looks absolutely smitten, huh?

Later on he gets the courage to ask her sign. It's the same as mine! Well, and it's compatible with his, but I'm now biased. Gemini's unite!

They don't hesitate to get to know each other better.
(This is why I love the Inappropriate trait. Not only do you get them doing inappropriate things 100% of the time, but you also get the option to instantly kiss someone. In Gee's case, it worked. I'd say the probability of it working for less compatible folks is very slim, but fun to watch.)

It's then I notice Cherry's unique sense of style. I love it. Even more biased.

Of course, Gee's off noticing other girls that are artistic as well and have compatible signs. Let her go, Gee. You already have a girl.

A girl that's right behind you, Gee, awkwardly acting like she's just putting away a book.

Off to work Gee goes. Apparently, the Stadium requires you to clean up quite a bit, even if you're just a Rabid Fan screaming in the stands. *whistles* Gee cleans up nice, though. Hey, look! You can see his face now.

The pizza man apparently has his own taxi.
And common sense. He gets out just in time to avoid being run over by Agent P and the Schoolbus of Terror.

Mikey: A phone?! I feel professional already!
Mikey's had a wish to have a sleepover locked in since his first day of elementary school. It's now his last, and what's a better way to celebrate aging into a hormonal mess than inviting your crush over for a sleepover? I can't think of a one.

 Mikey immediately hops into the shower so he can scar the poor girl as soon as she arrives.

Thankfully, he's out by the time she gets there. Things are awkward at first. Just look at her trying to be nice. You can clearly read the tension on her face.

It takes until right before curfew to get their friendship high enough to ask her to sleep over. If you look at her face, you can see why. She's not quite sold on Mikey yet.

Mikey, OF COURSE, makes it worse by getting the wrong idea as soon as she's inside. You're not even a teenager yet!

Keisha just tries to focus on her homework and ignore him, like usual.

Mikey: *abruptly drops salad all over the floor* YAY! I'M AN ANGSTY TEEN!

Interrupting this birthday to show that HEY! They have ladybugs right outside their house and I didn't notice until now because I'm blind! Gee was sent to catch them right after he got off of work.

You can just feel the hormones.

Mikey: Eh?
(This is totally the new header oh my gosh)

Here's a close-up and his everyday wear. It's...interesting.

Keisha even stopped doing her homework to come cheer for him buuuuut...

...Mikey's already being gloomy. He aged up with the Slob trait (told you Gee was being ironic) but I swear he's got Gloomy written all over him (even though I don't have Supernatural)

Since she's here, I decided to age up Keisha to see if she and Mikey click.
Mikey: Please be hot please be hot please be hot

Keisha: Hmm... What should I wish for?
Mikey: *cough*wishtobehot*cough*
Keisha: Oh, hey, there we go! *blows out candles daintily and in the wrong direction*

Gee arrives just in time to laugh at Keisha growing up. Gotta love those Inappropriate sims at birthday parties.
Or is he just laughing at Mikey in general?

*sparkle blast noises*

And Mikey is speechless.
