Expectations

 All day long Cebolla was looking forward to dinner where she'd meet Kristens parents. When Kristen arrived to pick her up, she was all set to go. She even had the little candle holder she wanted to give her as a gift.

"I told Ringtail we'll be back later, you're gonna sleep over tonight, right?"

"Yeah, Copperdale's to far to be traveling there at night"


They traveled from Gammelvik to Iverstad, and after some walking reached her parents home. Kristen suddenly stopped, and turned around to face Cebolla.
"What's wrong?" Cebolla saw how nervous she was
"Just... promise you won't get mad"
"...Why would I get mad?" she asked confused


"You'll see once we get inside"
"Kristen will be arriving any moment now. Promise, you'll behave" Eleanor told her husband Johan
"Honey, of course. All I want is the best for our daughters, lately Kristen's been acting spontaneously. Quitting the team, and deciding to focus on acting in university, I don't want her wasting her future, I want her to understand that."


Stepping through the front door Kristen led Cebolla to the main room. Before she could even say anything, both Cebolla and Johan immediately recognized each other. 
"You gotta be kidding me" Cebolla mumbled under her breath
"What? What is this?" Johan shouted to Kristen


"Mom, Dad, I'd like to meet Cebolla."
"I know who she is." Johan interrupted before Kristen could introduce them to her. "Is this the person you've been seeing? Is she the one putting those terrible idea's into your head?"
"What terrible ideas?" Cebolla asked


"Johan. We talked about this" Her mother walked forward trying to mediate. 
"Eleanor, this girl is nothing but trou-"
"Hush, Kristen wanted us all to have dinner tonight. Let us get through that in peace" Eleanor managed to get him to take a deep breath. He sat at the table waiting for the rest to join him.


Kristen went upstairs to get herself ready, as she still had some of her belongings there.
Her younger sister Sabrina smiled as she met Cebolla. 

"So, Cebolla. Kristen tells me that you're running a cafe" Eleanor asked, trying to cut through the tension at the table.

Johan simply stared, he knew well about the cafe, and its poor state.


"Yeah, it's downstairs from my apartment. It's not much but it's getting the-" Cebolla tried answering before being interrupted
"Please, that cafe is a mess. You've got rodents roaming around while you're serving food and beverages"
"All thanks to you" she replied


"She's really making it look nice. It's already looking more cozier than how it started" Kristen tried turning the conversation around. 


"Cozier? Cozy isn't stability. It won't stop that place from getting shut down with all those violations you have." Johan raised his voice
"Let's not think or wish anything like that" Eleanor added
"When that cafe goes under what exactly will you be doing? Do you have any long term plans?"
Sabrina watched as the back and forth was unfolding.


"Well..." Cebolla wasn't sure how to answer, as she was feeling cornered
"Do you even have college plans? or any higher education?" He asked one after another
"I...I can't really think on any of that since I got expelled..." She admitted
"Wait, what?" Kristen was surprised to hear that, and knew with that confession, this dinner wasn't going to be at all what she had hoped for. 


"See, this is exactly what I meant. This is why our daughter is suddenly wasting her future, and got those silly ideas" Johan turned to his wife. 
Eleanor felt sorry for her daughter and Cebolla that it had turned this way
"Her idea's aren't silly" Cebolla defended Kristen, "You're just stressing her out by saying all that"


Johan had had enough. "Kristen, take your guest away"
'Dad" she tried reasoning
"Now."
Cebolla was furious


Cebolla stepped outside and slamming the door in the process. Before Kristen could grab her jacket to follow, her mother came up to her. She apologized for the night.
"I'm sorry about your father, honey. He's just---"
"... I get it" Kristen answered

 While Cebolla prepared her inventory to stock up the Sales table with, Ringtail watched some cartoons on the tv.  Once ready, she grabbed her table and called him to join her. They headed to the lounge that was close by. She was close to reaching her fund goal. It was late so she didn't think many sims would stop by. That just meant she would have to work harder to sell to those who came. Luckily for her the items were selling so quick! However none of them were the Granite Falls mascot. This lady kept coming back and returning to window shopping. With only 2 mascots left, Cebolla gave her the best sales pitch. Honey and Rowan stopped by, and they helped hype up the mascot too😃 Cebolla was so excited!   Then this other woman in the black dress, stood right in front of Cebolla.  "I bought a mascot last week, and I'm happy with mine, right babe?" "Yeah, it's kinda cute" Honey and Rowan both lied 😁 Suddenly the lady stripped herself of her clothing! ...

Love Day

Valentines Day arrived on a cold wintery day across Gibbi Point. Cebolla wasn't sure yet how to spend it  with Kristen but she was she'd figure something out later on when they planned to get together.  For now, she was on her way to Jellyfish Junction. After bringing Wolfie the cure to bring him back to life, she felt free to focus on other goals. She really wanted to spot the elusive Plumbird since moving to Gibbi Point and heard rumors of their rare sighting closeby to the Lighthouse.  Before she could begin her search Cebolla stopped by the home of Honey, Carly and Irene. She heard about Honey's newest pet, Maple. She was waiting right at the doorsteps.  Cebolla made sure to sneak a biscuit from her work just for her.  Good girl ☺️ After some pets and scratches, Cebolla continued on her search for the Plumbird. Running around the island she reached a foresty area. She spent hours looking around and at long last she found the feathery little one.  It's b...

Future Moves

Kristen graduated from high school early and immediately enrolled into University. Cebolla was thrilled for when she shared the news  "When are you graduating? Maybe we can go to Uni at the same time" "Hehehe ... yeah... but not yet. Y'know, soon" Cebolla laughed nervously.  She still doesn't know about Cebolla's situation and she's nervous about telling her. In Nordhaven, I made some final touches to the outside of her soon to be home. It's not going to have the tables or chairs out, I just needed them to be able to visualize it.  Furnished it's looking at 43k but she won't be having all this furnishing at the start. How I would like the inside to look like. I really want it to be a struggle so I'm considering adding the rat hole wall decal, from City Living to spook some customers when they spot the rat running around, and inside her home too.  I like the SpongeBob Kit, Dollar bill to be her 1st dollar. It's so goofy looking and...
