Chapter 4 - Tis better to have Loved and Lost.....

With Harry's repeated failure to get a girl his own age, he began to look at more "mature" women. Heading out to Twinbrook Community Gardens, he soon met a woman named Carly Treaver. Deciding that he had nothing to lose, Harry set about wooing her, giving her flowers, chocolates, and generally flattering her. Things went extremely well between them, so much so in fact that Harry proposed!


Things were going swimmingly, and the wedding was all arranged. Then, disaster struck! It all started the day after Harry's 18th birthday. Finally he was legal! No more sneaking around, they could express their love freely! Or so Harry thought....











Harry's Dress sense seems to have improved. Maybe he won't make such a bad stylist after all.


As soon as Harry became a Young Adult, the first thing he did was to head on down to the Styling Salon to sign up for his dream career of being a Stylist. (Well actually his LTW is to be a Grand Master of Chess, but that doesn't pay the bills)

With that out of the way, he called up Caryn, sure she would be eager to wish him a Happy Birthday, Caryn came to the house, but immediately Harry knew something was wrong. Caryn would barely let him touch her, just the day before she had been all over him. Harry asked her what was wrong, and she confessed that she wasn't looking for a mature relationship, just a bit of fun. Realising that there was no future in their relationship, Harry broke it off, and ate an entire tub of Ice Cream to cheer himself up (Yes I know its a girly thing, but come on, he wants to be a stylist!)

To make matters worse, just 2 minutes later, Millie broke the dishwasher! Feeling very angry now Harry phoned for a Repair Technician, and sat on the sofa generally feeling sorry for himself.

Harry's luck was about to change though, for the Repair Technician, was a woman. Not only a woman, but a beautiful woman. Harry felt his stomach jump as he looked upon this vision of lovelyness. His voice barely a whisper, he asked her out on a date at the Red Rendevous the following night. To his delight she agreed! "Wait!" he cried as she was about to leave. "I don't even know your name!" She flashed him a winning smile and just said "Its Karyn" before leaving.

The date went swimmingly, with Harry and Karyn hitting it off immediately. As the night went on, Harry asked her opinion on Marriage and Children, and she told him that she wanted both, so very much. Could this night get any better?



Well actually, yes it could! Harry asked Karyn back to the house, and they just couldn't resist each other. Soon they were ripping each others clothes off and Woohooing in Millies bed!



Things were going so well, that Harry for the 2nd time that week, proposed. Karyn immediately accepted, obviously excited at the chance to start a family. She even offered to give up her career as a repair technician to help raise the children. As she left, Harry began to ponder, "Hmm, this house is getting a bit crowded.... perhaps its time to expand)

(Challenge Notes: Yes I know, I haven't achieved ANY challenge milestones for the 2nd Generation yet, thats coming next time. the Expansionist rule, and probably "Couple and two children" will be fufilled. For those of you wondering whats happened to Millie and Charlie, well Millie is now Principle of Twinbrook's School, and Charlie is.... well to be perfectly honest, he isn't doing a huge amount. There are still no available Teen girls in Twinbrook, and he is just waiting to age up so that he can stop being a spare part. Millie is getting on a bit now, it may well be that she will pass over next time.)

Next Time: A Wedding and (possibly) a Funeral.
