Tea pulls back in surprise from her crush. Raine wanted to prompose to her too? Tea doesn’t know why that’s shocking, as the pair are always flirting with one another.

Well, Tea’s been a controversial figure at school lately. Before a big performance with the former Copperdale High band, Tea snapped at a new member. She admittedly felt her time was more important than that of a student with lesser skill than her. She needed the time to practice for the performance, not to waste her energy on a sim with level two piano skill. The argument exploded and she quit the band, but the rest of the members didn’t last. Her actions made the Copperdale High band disband.

Ever since then, Tea’s shrunk back into herself. She feels so guilty, but is a little too proud to apologise. The only sim who stuck by her is Raine. What her crush said is true - it really is the two of them against the world. Of course Raine would want to ask Tea to prom too!

Raine: “I’ve made a Simterest board of matching outfit inspo…look!”

Tea tries not to get far too excited as Raine pulls out her phone. Her crush really put a lot of thought into going to prom with her. Raine made an inspiration board for their prom outfits? Even if Tea hadn’t promposed, she’d have a date waiting to ask her!

The pair get lost in their plans for prom. Most of their peers probably think the outcasts will skip prom together. Instead, the crushes will turn up and be the best dressed couple there! Tea needs to stop beating herself up after making a big mistake. She wants to make a big impression and show off her cute crush, Raine!

Tea: “Speeches aren’t my forte. Raine, on a scale of one to ten, how excited are you to go to prom with me?”

Raine’s surprise turns into excited giggles. She’s normally fiery and a bit aloof to everyone except Tea. Seeing her giddy with excitement really warms Tea’s heart.

Raine: “10/10 I’ll go to prom with you! This was the cheesiest, best promposal ever!”

Tea stands up and throws her arms around her crush. The air feels electric, like they’re drawn together like magnets. Her promposal couldn’t have gone better!

Tea: “I really like you, Raine. Like…like like you.”

Raine: “I really like like you too, Tea. You’re my Partner in Rhyme! It’s us against the world!”

Tea feels like she’s floating! The nervous butterflies in her stomach flew away, filling her with sunshine and warmth instead. Her cheerful trait overrides all of her emotional states. If she was an alien like her mother, she’d be glowing a deep, very happy green.

Raine’s voice tickles Tea’s ear as she holds her close. The crushes don’t want to let go of each other! They’ve finally spoken aloud all of their feelings that remained quiet. Hearing Raine admit she has a crush on Tea is like music to hear ears!

Raine: “I’m glad you promposed first. The one I was planning was nowhere near this adorable!”

[justkeeponsimming]

Tea fumbles over her words, adorably stammering with each thought her anxious mind tries to process. Her hands shake as she gives up and pulls her phone out of her inventory to read her prewritten speech.

Raine reaches out and holds Tea’s hands steady. Her blue eyes meet Tea’s green eyes, holding her gaze. Her cheerful trait just can’t push through the nerves and put her in a happy emotional state.

Raine: “I don’t need a big speech, Tea. You know my answer!”

Tea: “Nope. Nope. You deserve a proper promposal!”

Once Raine is satisfied that Tea isn’t panicking anymore, she drops her hands. She watches Tea take a small step back to give her room to drop down on one knee.

Tea: “Raine, ever since I met you, I knew you’d be the conductor of my heart. We’ve made amazing music together. Your beautiful singing is like a siren drawing me in.”

Tea’s prepared speech full of music puns goes out the window. She speaks from the heart, not needing to be overly poetic. Raine knows how she feels. She accepted the promposal before Tea could ask her!

Dropping down onto one knee, Tea pulls out her huge promposal sign. Raine’s eyes widen as she takes in all of the details and selfies that decorate the sign. Tea can’t help but smirk when she sees how impressed her crush is with her efforts!

[justkeeponsimming]

After school, Raine finds a post-it note stuck to her locker. The familiar handwriting tells her to make her way to the music room. Raine had a suspicion that this moment was coming, so she stayed on her best behaviour in classes. She couldn’t get an afterschool detention and leave Tea hanging!

Raine tugs the post-it note off of her locker and tucks it into her inventory. It’s a cute keepsake she doesn’t want to lose! She follows the instructions and heads to the music room. As she pushes the door open, the sound of a marvellous melody fills the corridor.

Tea peers over her shoulder with a dramatic flick of her hair as she plays the most beautiful tune. Raine hasn’t heard it before! Knowing her crush, she’s probably written a whole song for her!

Raine pulls out her phone and turns on the flash as Tea starts to sing. She’s got a lovely singing voice that only Raine gets the privilege of hearing. Once Tea gets to the second chorus, Raine’s heard enough of the lyrics to sing along with her.

Tea knows she will never forget this moment. She notices that Raine clutches the post-it note that Tea left on her locker. She sways to the music, holding her phone high with her other hand. Her gorgeous singing voice harmonises perfectly with Tea’s. Raine’s a very talented vocalist. It’s no surprise that she picks up on Tea’s self-composed lyrics with ease.

The promposal is going perfectly so far! Tea finishes her song with a jazzy drag of her fingers across all the keys. She spins around and locks gazes with Raine. Her crush’s knowing smile makes Tea amused and anxious all at once!

Copperdale, Copperdale High ~

[justkeeponsimming]

The nerves in Tea’s stomach flutter around so much that she swears she has a conservatory housing them! Her hand shakes as she lays out another sheet of card, unhappy with the previous attempt at a promposal sign.

It’s prom next weekend. Tea finally plucked up the courage to ask her crush, Raine, to be her prom date. They’ve danced around their feelings for a long time. They need to dance as an official couple at prom instead!

Tea and Raine have been through a lot together. Their mutual attraction started when Raine claimed the locker next to Tea’s. They became close friends, but their banter always tiptoed over the friendship line into romance. Their flirtiness was never admitted to aloud, but their tantalising talks kept both of them interested.

Raine even joined the Copperdale High band when Tea mentioned she thought about joining them. The crushes excelled at their music skills - Tea with instruments and Raine with singing. However, there was drama with other jealous bandmates that caused the pair to quit. The band disbanded shortly after. Since then, the talented musicians practice together at each other’s houses after school. Tea and Raine have been the subject of gossip ever since!

Everyone thinks they’re a couple, so why shouldn’t they make it official?

Tea: “Stop daydreaming, Tea! Lock in! This sign must be perfect!”

Tea creates her best masterpieces when listening to music. She sets her phone down on the floor and loads up a playlist of soppy songs. She cranks the volume up and gets to work on her promposal sign!

When she’s finished, Tea steps back to admire her handiwork. She almost got through three whole cans of spray paint because she wasn’t happy with her previous designs. This one looks perfect!

Tomorrow, Tea will prompose to her crush! She’s so excited! She really hopes Raine will say yes!

The days following the passing of the family senior dog, Donut, takes a terrible toll on the whole Quick family. The most devastated family members are Mercy and Apricot.

Donut was Mercy’s soul dog. Mercy went through a lot in her teenage life stage, then a rough start to the early part of her young adult life. Once her life was stable, she adopted Donut. He was Mercy’s first true love and now her deepest heartbreak. In time, she’ll heal, but it’s tough for the family to see how sad she is.

With the dog lover trait, Apricot is also hit super hard by the loss of the oldest family dog. Donut was the pupper that taught them how to properly act around an animal. They remember hugging the collie close, biting their face in his silky fur. Donut will be so missed!

The passing of Donut fills Apricot’s mind every night and each morning. They are super close with the youngest family dog, Mochi. He’s been super lonely since Donut left. Apricot spends every free moment with Mochi so he doesn’t feel lonely!

The Quick family has a long road ahead to healing, but together, they can get through anything!

(I tried not to make the posts with Donut’s crossing of the rainbow bridge too heavy, but the best boi ever deserved a big send off!  Donut was honestly Mercy’s best friend. A lot of my dog mum love channelled into Donut and Mercy’s relationship. My rescue dog is 8 years old now and I love her more every day!  Here’s a photo of Doris and my favourite screenshots of Donut to share the joy that dogs bring to our lives!

[justkeeponsimming]

Mercy moves like she’s on auto-pilot. Her inventory weighs her down physically and emotionally. She’s taking her beloved soul dog, Donut, to his final resting place. As much as she wants her pupper close, she knows his spirit will be far happier on the family farm in Windenburg.

Serenity the servo and her husband, 4-PO the servo, meet Mercy at the front door. The family members share a tender yet terrible moment before leaving Mercy to her task.

Mercy walks through the house that’s seen generations of Quicks raised in its old walls. Family photos fill the walls, so many memories that the family needs a basement for all of their photos. Mercy heads into the expansive land at the back of the farm, where the family cemetery rests.

With the heaviest heart, Mercy places Donut’s urn down and turns it into a headstone. She lights a candle in his memory, one that smells of coconut. It reminds her of the shampoo she’d bathe Donut in after he would dive into bushes chasing squirrels. She inhales the scent, committing it to memory.

Once she places the candle in front of Donut’s memorial, the tears well up again. She sobs uncontrollably as she says her final goodbye to her soul dog.

Mercy: “I…I know you’ll wait for me…Do-Do. Mum loves you so, so much. I’m gonna miss my…my best friend. You’ll…you’ll have so much fun here playing with the other pets here. You can visit me any time in my dreams. R-rest in peace, Do-Do. I’ll see you soon.”

Mercy stays as long as she can manage before finally turning and leaving Windenburg. It’s going to be so tough without Donut, but she knows his spirit will always be by her side.

Windenburg, Windenburg Island ~

Sunny: “I’m sorry…I’m so sorry…”

Those three words spill out of Sunny’s mouth almost as much as the tears streaming down their face. They cradle Mercy’s head against their shoulder, keeping their platonic partner as close as possible.

Mercy shakes in Sunny’s arms. Their heart shatters into smaller pieces as all they can do is cling to their platonic soulmate as she processes all of her emotions.

Eventually, Mercy pulls back from the embrace. She doesn’t make eye contact. When she speaks, her voice is barely a whisper. It’s like the grief stole Mercy’s heart, soul and speech.

Mercy: “I…I need t-time a-alone with…Donut…”

The lump in Sunny’s throat prevents them from speaking too. They release Mercy from their bear hug. Mercy puts Donut’s urn into her inventory and silently walks out the back door.

Sunny feels absolutely helpless. They stare after Mercy for a long, agonising moment, before turning to face their family. Sunny summons their four children into a huge family hug. They cry anew when their youngest child, Apricot, lifts the younger family dog, Mochi, into their arms. Mochi gets squished into the family embrace too.

All that Sunny can do is worry about where Mercy has gone.

[justkeeponsimming]

Sunny feels like they’re floating out of their body, watching the whole family from a higher point of view. They see the tears rolling down their cheeks as the beloved family dog, Donut, follows the Grim Reaper over the rainbow bridge.

Sorrow washes over the family like a tidal wave. Sunny grips the shoulders of their nearest children, Tea and Maple, trying to comfort them. Their movements are instinctual, not requiring conscious thought. Behind them, Baker and Apricot cling to each other, swaying from the grief splashing against them. Brother and sibling try to be each other’s rock to weather the shocking storm.

Sunny crashes back into their body when they see their platonic partner, Mercy, standing as still as a statue. Sunny’s heart shatters as they see their co-parent unable to process the loss of her soul dog. Donut was the first family member Mercy ever had. He welcomed every new sim into Mercy’s life. He was her support, her companion, her fur child.

Sunny: “Mercy…”

Once the Grim Reaper takes Donut, he approaches Mercy and gives her a huge hug. Mercy doesn’t embrace him back. Grim disappears in a cloud of black smoke, understanding that there’s nothing he can do to help this hurt.

Mercy finally collapses, sobbing uncontrollably. Sunny pushes forward and catches Mercy before her legs give out.
