No sooner than the children arrived from school, Kaiden heard a knock at the front door. A zing of energy shot through his adolescent body when he turned around to see Phoenix Jones waving feverishly. He wasn’t quite ready to deal with her yet and inhaled a deep, strong breath and exhaled it slow and even as he advanced toward the door.
“Hi, Kaiden,” she sang.
He flashed an awkward smile. “You’re early.”
“I thought we could use the extra time.” She was still grinning from ear to ear.
“Uh…ok.”
He lead her to the living room.
“Hi, Kori,” she said to his sister.
“Hi, Phoenix,” she sang in a taunting manner.
She had been using the computer in there, and Kaiden wished she would leave although he didn’t want to be alone with Phoenix. He already had to deal with her stalking him in school all day. Being taunted by his little sister about it was the last thing he wanted. When the teacher paired classmates together for the science projects, he closed his eyes and tried to will the teacher not to pair him with Phoenix, but it was futile. He couldn’t escape the girl.
They sat, and Phoenix spent a few moments grinning at him. Didn’t she come there to work? He wasn’t sure what he had done to give her the impression he was interested. Or, maybe he hadn’t, and she was set on making him interested.
“Sooo…did you have some ideas?” he asked.
His voiced cracked. His birthday couldn’t come soon enough. He wanted to be rid of the awkward changes he was going through and Phoenix, temporarily at least.
“Of course!” She scooted a little closer. “The project will be easy, but the presentation will be epic! Our topic can be sound frequency. We’ll get a bunch of juice glasses, fill them up with different levels of water, rub our fingers around the lip and see what sound comes out. After we talk about how the energy forced into material travels through the air and affects the sound waves, we’ll play a song with all the glasses! We’ll make such beautiful music together!”
His sister conveniently joined them and commenced Operation Humiliate Brother.
“Oooh! Oooh! Do you guys take requests?” She gasped. “Disney! Make it Disney themed! Everybody loves The Lion King. Caaaaaan you feeeeel the loooooove toooniiiiiiight–“
“KOOORRRIIIII!”
Hehe poor Kaiden. I guess that’s the price to pay for being so cute!
Srsly. It’s a price all the Pruett kids have to pay lol.
I laughed through this entire chapter!!!!
How cute that Phoenix has a crush, I wonder what her mom thinks of it, lol.
We’ll see in the next rotation! he he 😀
That is what little sisters are for! It is their job and some of them take their role quite seriously!
Oh yes! LOL
This brings back a lot of memories of my little sister! haha This chapter was so funny and really rang true. I loved “Operation Humiliate Brother!” haha 😀
Pfft. Darned little sister’s lol. Glad this amused you!
Just you wait Kaiden ’til Phoenix ages up too. Hehe.
HA! Right? He has 10 days to enjoy a little freedom…in theory lol.
I thought Kouri’s name was spelled Kori. Either it actually was spelled differently earlier, or I’m just crazy.
Oh? If you see it misspelled somewhere, don’t be shy! I’ll fix it. 🙂 For any onlookers, that is how the name is pronounced in case there was any confusion.
I’m an idiot and can’t spell the child’s name lol. I fixed it.
He is one of the cutest sims kids I have seen and I love how his sister is teasing him about Phoenix..funny i’m reading another legacy and gen. six had a baby named that.
Another Phoenix? That’s such an uncommon name lol. Kori is taking her role as annoying little sister very seriously lol.
yes the story is called ashes to ashes 😀
Oh yes, I am terribly behind on that one. My Phoenix came first! LOL
