#thepences

Over on the East Side of Newcrest, Daryl & Chad’s Father, Fred and their Stepmother, Keisha Wiseman Pence, live in Keisha’s family home. She still works for Newcrest Police Department, and Fred has recently retired from there.

HARVESTFEST!

Time for some one on one with Grams in the Kitchen.

DARYL- “Helping you cook reminds me so much of Harvestfest as a kid.”

RAQUEL- “Well, Daryl, you certainly aren’t a kid anymore.”

DARYL- “Hey! What do you mean by that?”

RAQUEL- “You are old enough to realize that you and Tatsuo need make your union official. Have the two of you even thought about getting married yet? I am not getting any younger. I do want more Great Grandchildren. You know your brother got snipped, right?”

DARYL- “Grams, we’ve talked about this before. Tat and I are not sure we want to get married. As far as kids, well let’s say that hasn’t even been put on the table.”

RAQUEL- “I think it is time to set the table.”

DARYL- “Grams, please. We will do all this in our time...”

STARTING NEXT WEEK!!

Daryl & Tatsuo are buying a home together and moving back to Newcrest.

DARYL- “That color HAS to go! Along with those window flowers!”

TAT - “I couldn’t agree more. Now can you turn that frown upside down?”

DARYL - “I will when I see Chad pulling in here with the moving van.”

I decided to go back to one of my original rotations. The Pences. Even though I did not create these Sims, I have fallen in love with them, and continue to play them on a regular basis.

From High School to college and now to young adulthood, Tatsuo Valliet (an amazing creation form @simsontherope​ ) and Daryl Pence (Another perfect creation by @thelastairsimblr​) have grown on me more than any other Sims. They are perfect together.

Harvestfest went off without a hitch, except that Lyric did not want to eat with the rest of the family and was found outside on the patio with an almost empty plate!

Tatsuo’s Mother and Sister, Azami and Ena, respectfully, were not that involved in Tat’s life since he graduated High School. But when Azami divorced Daniel, Tat and Ena’s father, things have changed drastically. Now, the three of them have become very close and they are very supportive of Tat and Daryl’s relationship. So much so that Azami is looking to buy the house next door to them! 

A week or so later, Daryl and Tat called Jasper and invited him over to see their home. Of course, the conversation led to an interrogation from Tat.

JASPER- “Really beautiful home guys!  It’s nice that we are all back home. And remember how we wanted to get out of Newcrest so bad back then?”

TATSUO- “Jasper, I need to know. I am not being accusatory or judgmental in any way, but how did you, of all the gay guys I knew, wind up married to a woman and have a kid!?”

DARYL- “Tat, seriously? I told you not to...”

JASPER- “It’s fine Daryl, Tat isn’t the first guy that has asked me that. I mean I was a pretty promiscuous guy back in the day, mostly with men. “

TATSUO- “Like Enzo, what did he have to say about it?”

DARYL- “TAT, please.”

JASPER- “Really, Daryl, it is fine. It’s not that I have changed. I mean I am still bisexual, but for so long it felt like someone else had control over what I was doing. All through College, and even before that. It seemed as though I didn’t have control over myself. Then one day - BAM!  It’s like someone, maybe the Maker, pushed an autonomous button on in my life and I found myself finally being who I really was. I met Rylie and finally settled down.”

TATSUO- “So it was like someone turned on a button for autonomy, Huh? Weird. But it’s all good. I mean for you.”

DARYL- “Yeah, we are both very happy for you Jas. You really seem happy.

JASPER- “I am, I really am. I mean I still see guys and think he is hot, and other women too. I mean I am a Sim, right? Rylie knows I have been with male Sim and other women, but Rylie and I were meant to be. She is good for me. And for Enzo, he is still around, I am sure. It wasn’t a big deal for him. Not sure he was all that into me anyway.”

DARYL- “Look at the place, it is perfect for us, Tat.”

TATSUO- “Absolutely perfect! Now to buy some new furniture to fill it up.”

DARYL- “We should wait and see what we have, we may not have to buy too much.”

DARYL- “I thought you said you wanted to go to bed.”
