It's the Boys 3 Year Anniversary!

I've been a happy on-and-off rotational player since 'The Sims 1' - until three years ago when I decided to make some certain adult Sims I've been playing for years (Jack, Vlad, Ji Ho and Saiwa), teenagers to just 'quickly' test the 'Highschool Years' pack with them and then return back to our 'The Family Business' story.

You might already guess it, I've never played another household again and the pack playtest soon evolved into the 'Underwater Love' story with 1718 posts/30 chapters (that were much longer than the ones in the current 'As if it's you last' story, I'm learning ^^') and it brought me so much fun.

And even though I've been telling stories before, 'Underwater Love' was so much more intense. After these three long years, I'm still spending time with the Boys each and every day and I'm still eager and excited to log in to see what they are up to next. Some of you might also know that I'm autistic with ADHD and even though I do have very intense special interests that suck me in (like my 42+ years long Star Wars journey, for example ^^') nothing ever consumed my interest as thoroughly as the Boys do. I can never learn enough about them. And I can't wait to see where it is going with them. Because they also tought me to let go and let them surprise me. More often than not I don't know more than you do and for a control freak like me, that was quite the challenge to let it happen like they wanted it to happen. I will never forget the day Ji Ho was bitten by Genji when we were just shooting the 'Abbey Road' pics.

I was at the verge to quit and reload the save - but after running around for a while like a headless chicken, I decided to go with it and I didn't regret it. Even though Vlad was supposed to breach the soft skin of Ji Ho's virgin neck. . . 😭

Now it's already almost one year(!) since I created the Boys and their friends/mentors in inZOI, and created this inZOI tumblr. And it's 5-1 months since we've left 'The Sims' and ended 'Underwater Love' to start our adventures in inZOI! inZOI is still Early Access and a lot of work, but oddly enough, it offers so much for story tellers, and the whole game is utterly beautiful. We've already spent ~390 hours in inZOI and it's so amazing. Thank goodness - because I've been worried about a lot of things. But thankfully the team listens to us players and we can create inZOI together.

Yeah, that's it from me for now ;) Thank you so much for accompanying us on our wild ride! <3

#anniversary #3 years!#inzoi #inzoiblr #zoiblr #my inzoi #The Sims 4

Time flies - yesterday, it's been two months since we left for our inZOI adventures! We're already ~ 200 hours in. (The Sims 4: 6785 hours and 49 mins (since release 2014) ö.Ö' Way to go!)

We have so much fun, there is so much to explore and they are so, so beautiful <3 (It still cracks me up that it's EA's fault that I even have a computer that runs inZOI because I couldn't play the Sims 4 anymore on my ancient toaster after an update about a year ago so I had to buy a new one lol) And while I can see why some people complain about missing stuff in inZOI (but remember: it's still early access), for our way to play (story telling and building), it already offers (more than) everything we need and it will only get better and better for us with more content. Courtesy of the color wheel and that we can add patterns and images while we play(!) and the game already offers so much in build/live mode, I haven't even used the 3D-printer or any CC yet. Not even the pose maker I've been so excited about ^^' I'm even able to add gameplay fun in between the story takes because we can adjust the length of the day (can you imagine that? In Sims 4 it took me already half of the day to get them on their horses ^^' So it was pretty stressful to also actually play the game and I even cheated their needs to seize the day/night time omg). It's so much more chill for all of us, even without cheats :3

We already finished the first Chapter (with 12 Episodes) and started the second. you can find the Chapter 1 Episode Overview -> here

While the episodes are still as long as always, I'll keep the chapters shorter, with less episodes, so it's easier to follow along.

If you're interested in what we do over there in general (it's just like here, with the story stuff, lots of behind-the-scenes, builds, news and TMI) -> here is the archive

And -> here is the general Story Hub with all the links and info

With the open world, the color wheel, the cars... inZOI gives me happy Sims 3 vibes and I couldn't be happier. I can make the world our own again.

Yeah, just a heads-up that we are going to be happily busy over there for the foreseeable future. I hope you are all doing well!

This is the last post on this simblr/tumblr for a while. The Boys and their mentors entered the Therapy Game 2.0 (= inZOI) I got my hands on the Creator Studio where I can already enter Build Mode and the Character Creator! The new tumblr/ZOIblr where I will post about their future adventures is -> here

Since the corrupted Therapy Game save file made them forget everything, we will start with a whole new story line!

If you won't follow us there: Thank you so much for participating!

tumblr is my safe place. And it's you who make this possible. Thank you also for your patiece. For kindly answering my weird questions and polls. I'm autistic and I'm having a very hard time acting properly and I often failed and made people mad.

And If you'll ever miss the Boys, check their -> pinned post hub with all the links to the 30 chapters with hundreds of episodes ö.ö (You can also find lots of additional facts about the Boys and their friends there. Also our other stories.)

This story alone contains 1716 posts! Not all of them full episodes though. 'Underwater Love' started end of July 2022! And went on and on for 2 Years and eight months! Unbelievable! Some of you might know I deal with ADHD and this is a huge achievement for me. And I'm still so obsessed with them ^^'

I leave this simblr with 376.310 given likes (in ~ 12 years though ^^') I don't know how many I've received for my 3886 posts, but I'm thankful for each and every one of them <3

So, I won't log in here as soon as I start inZOI. (Since it's a completely other blog and I won't log back and forth ö.ö) Which will probably be sooner than expected! I'm trying to get my hands on one of the keys that drop from 20th March on. And if I'm lucky, I can enter Create a ZOI again and build mode! (Edit: as mentioned above, I was lucky!) I'm over and over baffled again how well my timing was! I think it turned out quite well with the story and we can leave the Boys with a good feeling. There was a time when I feared they'd get sucked ingame against their will and that would have left me with a heavy heart. So them all entering of their own free will was a relief for me and I can move on. And I still have the possibility to come back anytime (= the manage to get out of the Therapy Game) Not only the Boys needed a break. I'm so utterly fed up with the Sims 4 but it was impossible for me to leave without the Boys. So I hope inZOI and maybe also Paralives will keep us busy for a while until I calmed down again ^^' I say 'hiatus' but it's also possible that I will never touch the Sims 4 again. I can't tell right now. But maybe I'll miss the goats and log in anyway hahaha

We still had a lot of fun :3

'When I first saw you, I was deep in clear blue water The sun was shining, calling me to come and see you I touched your soft skin and you jumped in with your eyes closed And a smile upon your face Você vem, você vai, você vem e cai E vem aqui pra cá porque eu quero te beijar na sua boca Que coisa louca Vem aqui pra cá porque eu quero te beijar na sua boca Ai que boca gostosa

After the rain comes sun After the sun comes rain again After the rain comes sun And after the sun comes rain again'

Last Episode before our inZOI hiatus!

Great A'Tuin II reached the Boys home planet. Jack's odd feelings had been right. He never watched the stars again with Vlad and they never returened back to their home in Tomarang.

After Jonathan packed everything together and stored the pods with the Boys in the ship's cargo bay, he contacted Rubyn and she told him the coordinates for the STaCKs in San Myshuno.

The Boys would be safe there. The STaCKs are occupied by droids and no 'meatbag' dares to enter them without their consent. The Doctor would monitor the Boys until Rubyn and Jonathan found a way to bring them back.

Jonathan connected Tiny Can to the computer to take a look how the Boys are doing. Rubyn: "This doesn't look like the Therapy Game! What have you done, Tiny Can!" Tiny Can let out a blue streak of excited beeps. Rubyn: "A new save? This isn't just a new save! You've made a whole new game!" athena: "He means well. They will do just fine, I'm sure. He couldn't leave them in that corrupted save file after all. I mean, it's still corrupt and they still forgot everything - and can't get out because they even forgot they're in a game... But look how beautiful that new world is! Ah, I envy them! You outdid yourself, Tiny Can!"

Rubyn informed their inner circle about what happened. And not anyone sees the latest happenings as bright and exciting as athena. Not only will the Boys forget about literally everything, now they'll also find themself in a complete new universe! (Not that they'd even notice anything of that though... ö.Ö')

It was a muddy, grey day in Moonwood Mill and Greg took Noxee for a hike to the Moonwood Cliff above Lake Lunvik. To distract her from her sorrows.

But she was heartbroken about losing her Babies. Greg: "You won't stop crying, won't you?" Noxee sobbed: "When I imagine them - all alone..." She cried again. Greg sighed: "All right then."

They went home to the hospital wing of the bunker, where Greg fell in love with Noxee, and made love one last time. After they'd enter the game to join the Boys/their Babies, they will forget each other. But they'd faced worse. Far, far worse. Greg: "Nothing will keep me from you. I will find you - and make you mine again." Noxee: "You better do. I love you, you know." Greg: "I know."

Meanwhile at Hummelshain Castle/Tartosa. Rita: "When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning, or in rain?" Francine: "When the hurly-burly's done." Dtui: "When the battle's lost and won."

It's clear that Dtui, Kiyoshi's mentor, and Francine, Jeb's grandmother, won't leave their Boys unattended. They are just too nosy - and curious. Even though they'd forget too - they'd find their way. At least it won't rain on the inside in that new game, right? Francine left Dtui and Rita alone to say goodbye. Rita will remain in this realm - to keep things going. Francine had already brought the heartbreaking conversation with Jules behind her.

Rita and Dtui don't worry too much though. They are as old as the dinosaurs (Jack says that, not me!) and this new adventure will only last for a blink of the eye to them.

Leander and Wesley brought their dog Baby Ogg to chestnut ridge. They are supposed to enter the game too. Genji will take care of the Boys' animals and Baby Ogg.

All of the Boys' mentors will join them in their new adventure. Only Genji, Ji Ho's mentor, will swap his place with Wesley. Wesley and Leander survived their hell together - and remained conscious. So the resistance hopes this will help them to remember in the new game too and help to bring the Boys back.

Aww and look! Kiyoshi and Jack's horses seem to be back together again! Ach, but Jeb and Jack's were so cute together! Maybe they'll form a throuple? Or even add Sai's horse for a quad? (More about their horses in our spin-off The Stables)

And this is how the Boys and their mentors (minus Genji, plus Wesley) entered the Therapy Game 2.0 ...

'When the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only light we'll see No, I won't be afraid Oh, I won't be afraid Just as long as you stand Stand by me

So darlin', darlin', stand by me Oh, stand by me Oh, stand Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon Should tumble and fall Or the mountain should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry No, I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand Stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me Oh, stand by me Oh, stand now Stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me Oh, stand by me Won't you stand by me'

Ben E. King - Stand by me

The perfect song for the last episode. It was also OST from the movie 'Stand by me'. MV linked above is with scenes from the movie. It reminded me of how Vlad, Saiwa, Ji Ho and Jack started this story as teenagers 2 years and 8 months and 1.715 posts ago. I watched the MV again and imagined them as the main characters and I cried. Even though I will still have them around in inZOI and I won't loose them, somehow I do. I played The Sims for ~ 25 years, oh my. Adult Vlad, Jack and Sai for over ten years! It was a wild ride for sure. Thank you so much for participating! I will make an extra hiatus post after this one. The link to our new tumblr/zoiblr is -> here. (It's still empty though ^^')

Jack and Jeb are trapped in the Therapy Game now too. They forgot. That had been the reason why the Night Shadow, Conny, Jino and Val hadn't been able to log out. They forgot it was a game and thought it was their reality. It didn't even come to their minds that it was possible to simply log out. Is this a new 'feature' after Tiny Can broke? Since there weren't any bug reports about this on the Therapy Game's help forum, it only seems to affect this one save file Tiny Can had kept - because the Boys' counterparts from another universe had been sucked in. And poor Tiny Can had been so devastated about this that he kept the save save - even though he thorougly broke - until Future Jonathan was able to program Tiny Can and build the log in setup and made the Boys and him meet.

Sai is so upset. Just right after their first woohoo Jeb vanished without a word! Saiwa: "Jeb and Jack could spent years in this game while we spend days or weeks to figure out how to get them out there again, forget about us - they'd change! Don't try to stop me. I'm logging in too. I don't care if I forget. I just want to be with Jeb." Said and stomped off. But no one stopped him. Ji Ho looked at Vlad and Vlad looked at Kiyoshi. There was no need to talk. They knew they all wanted - needed - to follow Jack and Jeb into the Therapy Game. To be together. That's what Future Jeb wanted them to do after all. None of them cared if they forgot about this world. All of them did well in the Therapy Game. They just needed to get the Night Shadow, Conny, Jino and Val out of there - to take their place. But how?

Kiyoshi and Sai weren't able to think clear anymore, so Vlad and Ji Ho went to the bridge to contact Jonathan. Even though Jonathan was worried, he almost immediately agreed. They already came to terms with the fact that somehow someone in their future had planned all these events and they just had to play along. All strings lead them to this time and place. Future Jeb and Jack had contacted them to stay together. Future Jonathan programmed Tiny Can and sent him back where the Boys found him in the temple. And Future Jonathan invented the setup on the planet where they could join the Therapy Game save. So they were quite positive it would all turn out well. Why else all the effort? Jonathan: "So, how do we get the others savely out of the game? We can't risk getting themgetting brain wrecked."

As if Jack was speaking to him with all his crazy ideas and weird plans, Vlad remembered that Indiana Jones movie they'd watched together - multiple times. Where Indiana Jones replaced the idol with a pouch full of dirt of the same weight - without the mechanism noticing it.

Jonathan: "This sounds crazy - but it could actually work! You are somehow connected with them. The same Boys - just from different universes. Which lead to Tiny Can's mistake of sucking them in the game in the first place! *Jonathan pondered for a while* If we could fake another short circuit on Tiny Can and send you ingame without the Game noticing, it might weaken the data from the game just longe enough to get them out and give them their memories back - and we can send them to their universe - to Jett and Jet! There a pods in the storage of the ship. Bring them down here. We will keep you save in them - until we'll get you out of the game. Just one thing before you come down here. Don't let Kiyoshi and Saiwa see Jack and Jeb like this. You two come first and help me get them in the pods." Vlad and Ji Ho agreed. Though it would be hard for them too. Jack is Vlad's best friend and Jeb Ji Ho's.

Ji Ho and Vlad briefed Kiyoshi and Saiwa, packed the shuttle with the pods and went down to meet Jonathan.

It was hard to see them almost unconscious and barely able to hold up. Since it was clear the game wouldn't cause any interferences and spit anyone out by itself, they could savely dislodge them from the portals and put them in their pods with their gear still on - so Vlad, Ji Ho, Saiwa and Kiyoshi could enter the game.

Seeing Jack in a pod again almost broke their hearts. It reminded them of the time when Jack was in his coma and they'd been so afraid and worried... But there's no way back for them anymore. They'd soon join them.

Then the shuttle brought Saiwa and Kioyshi. Saiwa said goodbye to Jonathan. Too short had their reunion been. Jonathan: "We will meet again and I'll keep you save until then. Don't worry. It was all meant to be, hm?" Saiwa hugged him tighter: "You will find a way. Everything I know I learned from you. Contact Rubyn, she'll know where to ... eh ... 'store' us and she can help you." Kiyoshi was still having a hard time leaving Jack and Jeb's pods behind to enter the game. He just hopes it all goes well and he can meet all of the others savely on the other side.

They all put on their gear and stepped in the portals. Ji Ho, the eternal sunshine, tried to reassure them: "We will be fine, hm? And we'll be together. That is everything that counts."

Lenny made sure that the pods are ready and Tiny Can beeped sadly. It was all his fault. If he hadn't had a malfunction, this all would't have happened... He will do everything in his might to make the Boys' time ingame an utterly amazing experience! Jonathan: "Ready?" They all nodded in anticipation and yelled: "READY!" Ji Ho started to sing one of his Siren's Songs, because Future Jeb had asked this of him in his message and Kiyoshi tried to connect to his demon and deity powers to try for a save passage. Anything will help.

Then Jonathan caused a little forced interference - not to little - not too much ö.Ö' And the Boys logged in.

Then he called Skully, who was watching the portal. Did the others make it savely out of the game? They did! Before Skully started the transporter beam to send them back to their universe, he made sure the Night Shadow, Conny, Val and Jino did remember who they were and if they are ok. The Night Shadow: "That was a rad game!" Jino: "Can't wait to go home and meet Jett and Jet again. I missed them so much." And Vlad seemed jealous about Ji Ho's comment. Jeah, they are fine! Skully pushed the button and they vanished.

Jonathan heaved Ji Ho, Vlad, Saiwa and Kioyshi over to their pods, loaded the pods into the shuttle and he, Tiny Can and Lenny went back to the ship. To bring the Boys back to their home planet...

You know the day destroys the night, Night divides the day Tried to run, Tried to hide Break on through to the other side We chased our pleasures here, Dug our treasures there But can you still recall, The time we cried Break on through to the other side

I found an island in your arms, Country in your eyes Arms that chain us, Eyes that lie Break on through to the other side Made the scene, Week to week Day to day, Hour to hour The gate is straight, Deep and wide Break on through to the other side - The Doors

On their way to the crossroads to meet the Demon (Conny/Kiyoshi), Jack and Jeb mulled over about how crazy it was that Val and Jino are getting married here! Every distraction was better than facing the fact that the others had been ingame to long and forgot about their real lives. And that it was their fault the Night Shadow, Conny, Val and Jino had gotten sucked into the game when Tiny Can broke after rescuing them. They need to get this fixed, no matter how.

Jack: "Don't worry, hm? Kiyoshi is a deity and a demon. And if Conny is anything like him, he will remember me/Jet. I'm his fated mate after all. He'll help us getting Jino and Val out of here and he'll make them remember. And then we are going to grab the Night Shadow and we're back on the ship for dinner! Let's keep a little optimism here."

They went over to the crack in the ground and summoned the Demon. The earth trembled slightly and black smoke emerged ö.ö

And when the smoke dissipated, it left a grumpy Demon. Jack: "Conny! It's us! Please say you remember!?"

The fire in the Demon's eyes extinguished and he looked fondly at -Jett? The Demon/Conny: "By the seven gates of hell - you are here. I started to doubt ... didn't know what was real anymore... thought I was losing my mind. But you came. I held on because of you." WHAT? Was this spicy book about Conny and Jett real? Or inspired by a real love between them? ö.ö

Poor Jack! While Jeb was trying hard to keep Conny at bay and filled him in about what happened and needed to be done, Jack was leaving.

Jeb losened Conny's grip on him and ran after Jack: "Jack! Wait! You know this isn't real! And that Conny isn't Kiyoshi, right? Let's just focus on our task." Jack blinked, twice: "Are we done here? I need to go home." Jeb was confused, but it was to be expected that Jack wouldn't take this well: "Eh - sure. Let's grab the others and we'll head home." Jack wasn't sure what this guy was talking about. He needed to go home to Lou. And Caleb. In Goldshire.

Jack: "Look, I'm busy. My men are waiting for me and I have a fight tomorrow. See you." Jeb: "Please don't do this to me!" Gods - the shock that Conny wanted Jett must have sucked Jack into the game too! Poor Jeb! Now he has to get 5 people out of here. But at least the Demon remembers. The wrong person though - but! Jeb needs to stay focussed and work with what he got. Otherwise none of them is going to make it out of this save! Jeb knew that arguing with Jack in his state now would be futile, so Jeb let him go. He knew they would find him in Goldshire - with his 'men' Lou and Caleb ö.ö Once they'd gathered the Nightshadow, Jino and Val, they'd go there and convince Jack to leave with them and everything would be fine, right?

The Demon has certain demonic powers, so he was able to teleport them right to Flamingo Island, where Jeb expected the Night Shadow - since Saiwa was last seen there.

The sky lit up when the Night Shadow was spotting Jeb/Jett and Conny/the Demon.

What a relief. Jeb doesn't even care if the Night Shadow was with Jett or Conny or all of them in their universe. He just wanted to finally get them out of here so he can go back to his Vanië! He'd had enough of this nonsense. And when this was over, they'd go back to their home in the Otherworld and do nothing of this save-the-world crap anymore - at least for a good, healthy amount of time! Jeb: "We talked this through. We grab the Night Shadow, then head back to the castle - you make Jino and Val remember and then we grab Jack - eh Jet - in Goldshire and get outta here. No dawdling." The Demon: "Whatever you wish, my love." Jeb sighed.

... Skully: "Aren't you going to finish?" Jeb/Jett blinked, twice: "Hm? Finish what?"

And the record player blared Hotel California from the Eagles:

'Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice And she said, "We are all just prisoners here of our own device" And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember, I was running for the door I had to find the passage back to the place I was before "Relax, " said the night man, "We are programmed to receive You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave'

Only a few minutes have passed on Great A'Tuin II since Jack and Jeb went ingame. And after all those blurry images passing by in a timelapse, the broadcast suddenly stopped.

Ji Ho: " 'We forge!'? Is that Jack's way of telling us they'll soon be ready? That was fast!"

Kiyoshi started to feel nauseous: "I think there's something wrong. There are three stones left. They wouldn't have carried them there if they weren't intended to use them. When we imagine one in the exclamation mark and two near the top, it becomes a 't'." Saiwa: " 'We forget'! But..."

Vlad started crying and even Kiyoshi thought he'd just crumble and die. The game had sucked Jack and Jeb in too. So the Night Shadow, Conny, Jino and Val weren't able to get out since they'd got sucked in because they became a part of the game -and their character's storyline. They forgot their real life. Saiwa, back in leader/captain mode: "We'll contact Jonathan. Tiny Can needs to get Jack and Jeb back. We can't sacrifice them to rescue the others."

Outtakes After all this back and forth with their counterparts, poor Jeb doesn't even know anymore who his love interest is...

And then Giga Byte was there (I didn't dress her like that ö.ö). In the beginning of this story (~ 2 3/4 years ago), I turned her, adult Vlad, Ji Ho and Jack into their teenage versions to playtest the Highschool Years pack. (That's how this story started ^^') A few weeks later, Giga turned into Saiwa as we know him now. The adult versions of the four of them (here are pics of adult Ji Ho and Vlad) already played in our 'The Family Business' story together, and - minus Ji Ho - in our 'Love Hurts' story.

After Sai woke up, he went to his little computer corner and tried to work for a while. But even though he spent hours there, he didn't get much done. He's still in the aftermaths of his first woohoo and high above on his fluffy cloud of bliss. This was by far the best thing that has happened to him is his whole life. He must have scared Jeb a lot by blissing out - Jeb's biggest fear was to hurt Sai - and Sai has no idea how to face Jeb after scaring him to death and being the cause of his meltdown...

Taking a look across the cargo bay, Sai saw Ji Ho and Kiyoshi sitting in front of the open transporter chamber ö.Ö' What is this now again? Why didn't they consult him? Oh - right. He was out. Not the leader/captain anymore. No member of this crew. And not having to wear these unspeakable uniforms anymore! Just a mere passenger on this ship. He wouldn't have to deal with this madness anymore.

But he could still ask, right? A little interest in his friends wouldn't hurt. But when Kiyoshi told him that they'd found the meteorites and future Jonathan's setup and that Jeb and Jack currently are ingame to get the Night Shadow, Conny, Val and Jino out, Sawa's heart sank. Saiwa: "We didn't even get the chance to say good bye..." Kiyoshi: "Don't worry. They'll be back in no time. Ingame time runs faster and they just have to go in and show them how to get out again."

Ji Ho: "Poor Tiny Can still isn't fully fixed, so we have to pay extra attention. As soon as the four of them log out, we need to send them back to their universe - to avoid ... eh... whatever happens when our universes collide ö.Ö' Since we can't exist twice in the same time and place, you know?" The first ingame pic plopped up on their monitors. Ji Ho: "Ah look, they're at the castle! I wonder what Princess Jihovere and her King are up to. A lot must have happened since the others got sucked in. Too bad it runs so fast. But Jeb and Jack can tell us everything once they're back."

And really, Jeb and Jack made it sucessfully back ingame. They logged in near the castle. So they should be able to rescue Jino and Val first. Which should be easy.

They found themselves locked up again. Just like Jack the first and second time he logged into the Therapy Game. But this time, Jack knows what awaits them. Jack: "Don't worry. This is just another arena fight. I'll go easy on you." Jeb hates fighting. He hasn't forgotten when he had to spar with Vad beyond the Veil...

After the gates were opened, Jack and Jeb did their fighting thing and they're happy to see that Jino and Val were sitting at the podium, together with the Queen! Jack's heart skipped a beat and he made an extra effort to impress her.

Then something unexpected happened... Jeb produced a laser gund and shot at him??? Jack hissed at Jeb: "What are you doing? That's out of character!" Jeb whispered back: "I don't know! Something is off!"

When the fight was over, the royalty praised their creative approach, but none of them was overly startled about the laser gun. Weird. Jack and Jeb had more urgent matters to adress anyways. Jack: "Val, Jino - we're here to get you out of this ga... *Jeb coughed* I mean: out of here - and back home. Just say 'out' and we'll beam you back. Sorry it took us so long!" Val: "What are you even talking about? The castle is right over there. We don't need your help." Princess Jihovere didn't even give them a second look.

Jack: "I know this sounds weird. Don't you remember your good friends Jet and Jett? Look at us!" Princess Jihovere: "My king, we need to go back home. There's still so much to prepare for our wedding." At least Val looked a bit torn - but he still didn't believe Jack: "I really don't have time for this. The Princess - my bride - needs me. I have to leave." Jack: "Val. Vlad! Look at me. It me, your soulmate. Your best friend. There was an accident and you, Jino, Conny and the Night Shadow got sucked into this game! We need you out of here. Please trust me, hm?"

The Queen has heard enough: "No one is going to mess with this wedding! We are planning it for weeks now! The whole country is waiting for this day!" Princess Jihovere: "Please don't listen to them. You belong here - with me." Val: "Of course I do. Don't worry."

The royalty left. Jeb and Jack sank one one of the benches. Jeb: "How is this possible? When we played, we still knew who we were. We just - played - our role..." Jack: "I fear they'd been ingame too long. And this is a corrupted save after all. They didn't even detect that laser gun as something wrong for this setting. *Jack sighed* What are we supposed to do now? I don't even know if it's able to 'force' them to log out?" Jeb: "It might utterly mess with their brains when we do this now. They'd think they'd gone crazy. Or even worse." Jack: "Right. Let's not forget when Ji Ho almost died after the game kicked us out. Gods... We can't even contact Jonathan and the others because Tiny Can is still not fully fixed. They won't even know we have troubles here. The game runs so fast for them. They just see a blur of pictures." Jeb: "Shall we log out and figure out a plan?" Jack: "What if this causes another issue with Tiny Can and we can't log in again? They'd be trapped in here for who knows how long. Weeks or months have passed here already. It really shouldn't be any much longer given they've already forgotten everything of their real life." Jeb: "Then let's check Conny next. He is a demon here, just like Kiyoshi. He might have resisted. Or if not, we could - make a deal with him..."

Ji Ho gave a rough direction where the meteorites could be found and the Boys (minus Saiwa, since he was out of the crew - in mutual agreement), Jonathan and Lenny took a shuttle down to the surface. Axl, the Axolotl, Malfoy and Skully are watching the ship.

Ji Ho was in awe: "What a beautiful little planet! And so much water. Too bad I can't swim here." Jack: "Actually it's a moon. It's circling the planet. You can still see it behind the rocks. Over there." Ji Ho: "Oh there it is! It looks so close!" Kiyoshi: "The water is probably toxic anyway. Look how it glows ö.ö' " They walked for a while and took in the view, the colors and the strange flora. Jack: "Is it still far?" Ji Ho: "We must be near, but I'm starting to lose the connection."

Vlad sighed. He knows what that means. He can barely keep himself together doing all this bond magic without being able to find some release... So he took Ji Ho a bit away from the others and put everything in his kiss - so they could finally find the meteorites and this torture would end.

After poor Vlad had regained his compusure, they went back to the others. Before they left though, he had to promise Ji Ho they would continue what they started in their quarters once they were back on the ship...

Ji Ho lead them around a rock formation not far from where Vlad had kissed him. And really... Ji Ho started running: "The meteorites! They are here!" Jack was just as excited and followed him suit. Vlad was concerned. Why are their meteorites contained? Who put them in there? Kiyoshi must have thought the same. They almost yelled at the same time: "Be careful!"

There was a full setup that had been built above a glowing crack in the ground. The meteorites in two bubbling tubes, held by bioluminescent roots -that looked exactly like those from Kiyoshi's tree! And there were two portals under a huge glass dome that started to rotate when they came near.

Jack: "How is this possible? It's like a modified Therapy Game setup. Who built this? And who knew that we - and the meteorites - were coming here?" Vlad: "This could be a trap..." Jonathan checked the main interface. Jonathan: "I was able to log in with my password. Not even Vanië knows it..." Jonathan checked the code for a while. Jonathan: "It's just like with Tiny Can. That's my signature code. Just more... advanced. I also must have built this - in the future. Somehow Future Me knew the meteorites would land here." Jack: "Amazing. And weird."

Jeb: "So Future You - or maybe Future Jack and Me too - seem to want Jack and me to enter the game frome here? But why?" They went over to the crack in the ground. Jonathan: "Maybe this place is special somehow? The roots seem to consume the matter from the crack and lead it to the liquid in the tanks with the meteorites." Jeb: "This actually spares us a lot of time and effort. We should get Tiny Can down here and get ingame to rescue the Night Shadow, Conny, Val and Jino. What do you think, Jack? Ready?" Jack: "I was born ready!" Jonathan let out a shaky breath: "Ok, then. Tiny Can and I will remain here while the others should go back on board. Even though this all looks very reassuring and high-end - we shouldn't take any risks and cause interferences between our universes. Vlad and Kiyoshi - we stay in touch while you recalibrate the transporter beam so we can beam them back to their universe as soon as they step out of the game. You need to have an eye on the monitor all the time. Ji Ho and Vlad can take turns with you. But it shouldn't take long - since ingame time runs faster."

Kiyoshi didn't want to make it hard for Jack, so he just reminded him of his promise to be careful. Jack: "I will. I want another round in that cake after all ;) " Jack didn't want to make it hard for Kiyoshi either.

And when Kiyoshi and Jack kissed goodbye, Jeb's heart went heavy. He hadn't had a chance to talk to Saiwa after their first woohoo... It can't be helped. They will get the others out of that game and be back soon - hopefully. Sai probably won't even know they'd been gone. Even if they'd spent hours ingame, only a few minutes would have passed here in the meantime. Jeb doesn't even know what to say to him... Instead of taking Sai in his arms and take care of him after their first woohoo, he panicked - and left it to Jack... What do you say after an encounter like that? After messing up their first woohoo, it was everything Sai had ever wanted ö.Ö'

Ji Ho went over to Jeb and hugged him. Ji Ho: "It will all be well in the end, hm? We found the meteorites - and after Jack and you rescued the others, we can go back home. We are all going to stay together - always." This should probably sound cheesy. But when it comes to Ji Ho, Jeb goes all squishy. It was like hugging a ray of sunshine. And he believed him. Jeb blinked his treacherous tears away: "It will. We will *Jeb hugged Ji Ho tighter* Until later."

And then Kiyoshi, Vlad and Ji Ho took the shuttle back to the ship and sent Tiny Can with their equipment back to the moon's surface.

Jonathan, Jack and Jeb connected Tiny Can to the setup. Jack and Jeb put on their gear and stepped under the dome.

Jack: "We can do this!" Jeb: "See you on the other side!"

Jonathan: "Ok. Starting the Therapy Game save in 3 - 2 - 1...!"

And then they were gone. Jonathan: "And now we wait." Jonathan just hoped they'll do well. Even though Saiwa was determined to leave everything behind again and go with him - Jonathan knew he would kill him should something happen to his friends - especially Jeb. He would figure something out to make him stay with them. From what he'd seen over the past days, they love Saiwa regardless. Despite being so upset about his betrayal. Saiwa was lucky to find such good friends - and someone to love. After all that had happened to him. And maybe Jonathan could even stay with them in the Otherworld. The Council wouldn't find him there. They'd be safe.

Outtakes

Lenny distracted Jonathan from his gloomy thoughts. He is hungry - again.

Ji Ho and Vlad are charging the bond. Thanks to their bond magic, they are very close to their meteorites now. Just a bit more fine tuning. Ji Ho: "Don't you feel it? They tug me towards the smaller planet." Vlad: "Eh. I don't get it that clear." Kiyoshi: "Ji Ho is the most sensitive of us and he always had a deeper connection to the Bond." Ji Ho laughed: "And the Bond hates Vlad ö.ö Maybe ... we could thoroughly charge the bond later? In our quarters?" It seems their first woohoo after Ji Ho got his feelings back awakened a little insatable monster in Ji Ho ^^' Vlad didn't think charging the bond would be necessary since they're already so close to the meteorites and Ji Ho can still sense them quite well - but who is he to argue. Ji Ho and him are finally where they belong. And so Vlad just hummed his agreement.

Sai blinked his eyes open. Jeb had showed him the stars - all of them. Sai was still on his blissful, fluffy cloud. His hand played with Jeb's chest hair, wandered over Jeb's stubbled chin and tenderly brushed one of Jeb's long strands out of Jeb's beautiful face.

Then he stilled. Chest hair? Stubbles? Long strands? Jeb has neither of this! Jack: "Good morning gorgeous - or whatever time it is in this vast darkness. How are you?" Sai was utterly confused. This was Jack's chest, Jack's stubbles and Jack's strands?! Why is Jack holding him in his arms? Was his first woohoo with Jeb only a dream? Oh no! He didn't have his first woohoo with Jack, right? RIGHT? Sai jolted back.

But then his vision blurred and he felt dizzy. He closed his eyes again. This must be a dream. But when he opened his eyes again, he was still held by Jack. Jack: "Don't worry. When you fell unconscious, Jeb panicked. He thought he hurt you. And then he was upset because he thought you lied to him when he asked you if it hurt. Kiyoshi had to take care of him. Jeb had a kind of meltdown, I guess? Vlad came over and tried to heal you but you weren't hurt at all - just a bit cold. He had to go back to the bridge to cuddle Ji Ho, so he asked me to stay with you to keep you warm." What was Jack even talking about? Unconscious? This all made no sense! At all!

Jack: "I'll go and let Jeb know you're ok." Sai still tried to process what happened after their woohoo. But he just remembers that he saw the stars - all of them and then ... nothing. Saiwa carefully tried to get up: "Ok... I - I should probably take a shower..." Jack: "No need to. I cleaned you up. You can thank me later ^^' " Saiwa: "..." Jack: "That's what brothers do for each other, right?" Saiwa: "No, Jack. I'm utterly sure this is not what brothers do. We aren't even bothers!" Jack winked at Sai: "Yeah, whatever. Anyway, I guess we can't possibly get any closer than that." How embarrassing! Time to change the subject. Saiwa: "But what happened to me? Why did I pass out? Jeb didn't hurt me. It was everything. Everything, Jack. Jeb showed me the stars - all of them. This was everything I ever wanted - and more. So much more." Jack patted Sai's cheek: "You just gave yourself the answer. Kiyoshi and Vlad think you completely blissed out. And we all envy you, you little brat!"

Jonathan and Jeb started fixing the transporter chamber. Just like Jack, Jonathan too thinks it will prevent them from a severe interference between their two universes. As soon as the Nightshadow, Conny, Val and Jino are out of the Therapy Game, they would activate the transporter chamber and send them back before their worlds collide and who-knows-what happens ö.Ö' Jack and Jeb had barricaded the transporter chamber as soon as they went on board (after Rubyn told them that Lenny's friend accidentially had gotten beamed away.) But Jonathan is far more experienced than them and he's positive they can recalibrate and fix it.

Jeb: "Jon? Is it supposed to do that?" Jonathan: "Ehm..."

Jonathan: "This is no rocket science. We can fix this." Jeb thought this actually is rocket science - kind of - but he kept quiet and started readjusting the transporter for their next test run. He wasn't a big help for Jonathan, he feared. Still in the aftermaths of his and Sai's first woohoo and his meltdown. But luckily Jack came over and told him Sai is doing better.

Outtakes

Jack still loves his bike <3 Maybe he thought he should get to Jeb as quickly as possible to bring him the news that Sai is ok :3

And Jonathan almost died ö.ö

And this happened when I teleported them on the bridge ^^' I don't want to know where Kiyoshi's hand is heading ö.ö Do I?

To get Sai and Jack into a bed wasn't as easy as it looked. I'd set them as brothers some time ago and of course they refused to cuddle in bed... And I couldn't change it back! So I ended up saving Sai into my gallery and moved a copy of him into the household again from there.

Ji Ho was worried though. He entered Sai and Jeb's quarters of his own accord just the moment they went over to the bed and also took a shower ö.ö He wasn't even that dirty (in the yellows) and I'd turned off autonomy right in the beginning years ago and I thought the patch had messed with it and even checked again. It was still disabled. Weird.

Hahaha and they even refused to cuddle in bed after that! So I thought they needed to have their first kiss first? The real Sai went outside to give them some privacy (I had removed him from the household to save him to the gallery but he was still where I left him). You can spot him behind the door, it looks like he's taking a photo of Sai 2.0 and Jack kissing!

Behind the scenes/TMI

I knew about Jonathan for quite a while now. First time he popped up in my head was when Jack was in his coma (in May 2023!)

Vlad and Kiyoshi were sleeping next to his pod to watch over him. Giving couple vibes ^^'

And then my mind was wandering. What if Jack didn't come back?

my Quote: 'If Jack doesn't come back, Vlad and Kiyoshi will be a couple. And Ji Ho and Jeb. Hm and Saiwa? Saiwa will return to the elven realm and marry Thranduil!'

Quote end

lol There he is. One of the most beautiful men I've ever seen.

So I knew how Jonathan would look like. But I already told you that I have some kind of face blindness and I wasn't able to do him justice.

In my eyes he's still beautiful and he and Sai look good together as half elves/half vampires ^^'

And: We can turn off burglar visits in the options! Thank the maker! My kids had to witness a burglar breaking into their dads home. It's really traumatic irl. And I can't even stand visitors or craftsmen in my apartment ö.Ö' Plus the kleptomaniacs ingame already annoyed me so much I gave up all community lots.

To avoid any furter interferences after they get the Night Shadow, Conny, Jino and Val out of the Therapy Game, Jack thought it might be a good idea to reactivate and repair the transporter chamber. So they could beam the four of them back to their own universe. Jack is convinced they can't exist all at once in one timeline - at the same time and place ö.Ö' Jeb and Lenny have mixed feelings about this. The chambers are barricaded for a reason. Lenny's friend, the vacuum bot, had vanished after he cleaned one of them.

On the upper deck, Jonathan tries to convince Sai to apologize to the others. For betraying them - and trying to kill Tiny Can. Sai is dreading it. He can't deal with his failure. He just hoped Jonathan would take him far, far away from all this madness and start a new life with him.

Jonathan: "At least talk to them. You'll regret it if you don't." Saiwa: "I didn't regret leaving the elven realm either. Even though I left everything behind. My friends and family. Everything I owned." Jonathan: "I regretted leaving you behind. It almost tore me apart - and I couldn't imagine a life without you. But I knew it would have killed me if I'd stayed. And that this world would break you. I should have sent you back that day you stood at my door. But I was too weak. Do better than me, Vanië. They are your friends." Saiwa: "Friends? They betrayed me in the first place!" Jonathan: "We won't leave before you talked to them. Start with Ji Ho and Vlad, hm? Ji Ho loves you. And he will keep Vlad from being mean." Saiwa needed strength for this. Strength he doesn't have anymore: "Hold me." Jonathan: "Always."

And, of course, Jeb and Jack just turned around because Lenny meowled in utter despair. He still needs his friend fixed... And he was hungry! Jeb and Jack witnessed Jonathan and Sai's embrace. Jack: "I can't believe he's even real anymore! How can he do this to you! We are going to rescue the Night Shadow last. I can't even stand his face anymore!" Jeb: "Let him."

But Jack weren't Jack if he kept his snout shut. Jack: "Get a room!" Lenny thought this might maybe a bit counterproductive...

Jonathan was right. Ji Ho pulled Sai almost immediately in his arms after Saiwa apologized. Ji Ho: "We shouldn't have betrayed you in the first place. I'm sorry we made you feel like you couldn't talk to us. You just did what you thought was right at that time. I guess we all are in desperate need for a break. Don't worry too much, hm? I owe you so much and it's ok to make mistakes. Right, Vlad?" Vlad just grumbled: "Right."

Kiyoshi was also on duty on the bridge and he agreed to accompany Saiwa to Jack. And even though it went so well with Ji Ho and Vlad (to a certain extend at least ö.ö') Sai had a little meltdown. Jack had been so upset and even yelled at him...

They also called Jonathan to support Saiwa. But Jack did not budge. Not only did Sai almost kill his beloved Tiny Can, he also broke Jeb's heart - again. Jack: "After all we've been through! How could you!" Saiwa: "Don't you think all we went through is the reason why I'm loosing my mind - and have to leave?" Jack: "An apology won't do. I can't accept it. At least have the conscience and apologize to Tiny Can. And talk to Jeb. They are fixing the engines in the stern."

Sai went over to the engine room. Jeb didn't even look at him. Neither did Tiny Can. Saiwa: "I'm sorry for what I did and that I couldn't do better. After all I promised you."

Jeb: "No, I'm sorry for begging you to stay as our leader. You don't deserve a life like this. You've left the elven realm to find a better life for you and then you've been kidnapped and thrown into all of ... this." Saiwa: "Aren't you going to stop me?" Jeb: "No, Vanië. I love you too much to condemn you to stay at my side. Go with him and be happy."

Something broke inside Saiwa and he started to cry when Jeb called him 'Vanië'. Saiwa: "Gods, Jeb. I love you too. How could we've let it come this far?"

That was when Jeb snapped. Jeb: "You have the audacity to tell me you love me wearing Jonathan's ring and after sharing his bed?" Saiwa: "What? What do you think Jonathan and I are?" Jeb: "I think I know just how exactly things are between you and him! And that he can give you all the things that I can't give you! You gave up everything to be with Jonathan. You wanted to marry him. You left the elven realm for him. He made you the man you are. Made you a vampire! What am I compared to him?" Saiwa: "Are you crazy? Do you think I am in a romantic relationship - with Jonathan? And that we... that we woohoo?" Jeb: "That's exactly what I think you do!" Saiwa: "I know Jonathan since the day I was born! He practically raised me! He's like a brother to me! That marriage was arranged because our families were close! The only man I ever wanted this way is you!"

Jeb: "..."

That was when Jeb snapped for the second time. He doesn't know what to think anymore. So he just stopped it. And let his body do the talking...

And when Jeb stripped Sai off his clothes, Tiny Can thought it's a good time to leave them alone...

Storyteller's Tome

I always regretted I didn't properly kept track of our past stories (since none of them was really planned, they just happened...). Even though I've tried so many systems to store all the story related stuff over the past few years, nothing worked for me in the long run. Like Notebooks, huge story boards to pin my notes on, apps - you name it. Over the last few months I even ended up having the content of hundrets of episodes stashed in my poor brain and I use discord for quick notes ö.ö And there are pages with messy notes all over the place. For our new story though (that's about to start in a few weeks (and that will just happen too, (but now I'm prepared!))), I made this tome. And before it gets filled, I took a few photos.

satureja13

I made this tome for our inZOI spin-off :3 Because I'm crazy like that lol

#Story Teller's Tome #nerd stuff #non sims

The Boys, Saiwa, Jonathan and Tiny Can left the mining colony and boarded Great A'Tuin II. Jonathan and Kiyoshi are getting the astrometics lab ready (you can even spot them in the pic above in the lower decks on the right side :3 ) for whatever course Ji Ho and Vlad would tell them to set - after they did their bond magic and connected with their meteorites to find out where they went after they left the ship. They just hope it's not too far away. They need to get the Night Shadow, Conny, Jino and Val out of the game! Kiyoshi: "Do you think it is a coincidence that it was Future Jeb and Jack who sent the message and asked us to stay together and now it's Jeb and Jack who have to enter the game because they'd been the only ones that hadn't been sucked into after Tiny Can broke?" Jonathan: "You're right. The chances for this are quite small... But what could it mean? That not rescuing the others out of the game could also cause harm to Saiwa, Ji Ho, Vlad and you?" Kiyoshi: "Let's hope Vlad and Ji Ho can successfully connect with the meteorites."

Meanwhile, Jack and Jeb get the engines ready for the next stage of their journey. They are all still upset about Saiwa. Especially Jack. For so many years they'd been good friends now, went through hell and back together - and still Sai had betrayed them and tried to kill Tiny Can. Jeb: "Don't you forget something? We tried to betray him in the first place - and kept information from him. We are all over the edge. Let's just endure this until the others are back and safe. Then we'll take our break." Jack: "He needs to apologize." Jeb: "We too." Jack: "How can you be so put together in this? Sai is going to leave us. He leaves us to be with Jonathan. You love him. Won't you be upset? Or try to stop him?" Jeb: "I let him go because I love him. All this madness around us, leading us, it didn't make him happy - it broke him. He left the elven realm - and even became a vampire - to be with Jonathan. Not to lead a bunch of lost boys through the seven gates of hell. All our break-ups - I felt all the time I wasn't good enough for him and that he deserved better."

Sai had fled to his little computer corner in the back of the game room of Moogies Bar to avoid the others. He tried to play a bit to clear his thoughts. But how can he play and have fun while the others are trapped in that damn game.

He sighed, quit his game and started to work - to contribute his part to rescue their counterparts out of the Therapy Game. Why aren't they able to get out of there? Maybe the Council disabled that function to keep them ingame months ago? And Tiny Can sacrificed himself to get them out of their last ingame session? And the forced logout sucked the others inside to fill their places. But not all of them. Miraculously not Jett and Jet. Jeb and Jack's counterparts in the other universe. And Sai too wondered if this was a coincidence - or not...

As soon as they went on board, the others sent Ji Ho and Vlad to their quarters - to do their bond magic and try to connect with their meteorites. Vlad went to the shower immediately - to get it over with. Again Ji Ho and him had to woohoo to save the galaxy - or whatever. And even though they already did this a few times before (even their first woohoo had been set up for a 'higher purpose') Vlad still hates it to 'use' Ji Ho like this. Ji Ho doesn't hate it though. Even before he got his feelings back he enjoyed their physical encounters. How would it be now? Now that he was able to finally love Vlad. This would be the first time they'd woohoo after he got his feelings back. And the physical intimacy they'd shared after that had been so overwhelmingly intense already.

Ji Ho didn't care that this woohoo also had a purpose. He wanted it to be special in any way. All these years Ji Ho was uncomfortable with getting touched and Vlad never laid hands on him of his own accord. He always let Ji Ho set the pace. Let him decide how far he wanted them to go. This time, Ji Ho wanted it to be different. He wanted to indulge it to the fullest. He knew Vlad held himself back to not scare him off. But Ji Ho wasn't scared anymore. He wanted Vlad's all. He wanted Vlad in charge. Watch his face when he fell apart. Ji Ho steeled himself - he has to tell Vlad what he wanted. And given the perma awkwardness between them - this would be a hassle for them ö.ö Ji Ho wished their Bond could help him with this. And just submit his thoughts to Vlad's. But the Bond would even accelerate the awkwardness. It will tell Vlad how nervous Ji Ho was and Vlad would think the woohoo is the cause...

When Ji Ho stepped out of the shower, he found Vlad sitting at his desk. It seems he'd tried to write something, but was too upset to even start his computer. He just stared on the black plain of his monitor - lost in his thoughts. Ji Ho stilled and looked at Vlad's scars. Jack had to do this to him when he stopped Vlad from killing Ji Ho's landlord. Who wanted Ji Ho to work at the brothel in the slums of Sulani. Vlad is an excellent healer and could have let them cure easily. But he kept them sore on purpose - to remind him to stay in control. For Ji Ho. He would suffer most if Vlad killed someone. The Bond would make sure of it.

Ji Ho: "Come." Vlad nodded. It had to be.

Ji Ho was eager to finally begin and kissed Vlad. And even though he tried to avoid touching the sore scars and hurt Vlad, in the heat of their kiss and while his hands tried to pull Vlad closer, he touched them - and Vlad winced.

Ji Ho: "Let them heal. Let's leave all this behind, hm? They only will always remind me of him. He's not a threat for us anymore. We are stronger." Vlad: "We are."

Ji Ho dragged Vlad over to their bed. Ji Ho stammered: "There... there is something else I need to ask of you." Vlad felt Ji Ho's nervousness. Was he not ready? So he said: "Anything."

Then Ji Ho told him that he wanted Vlad to be in charge - so he could fully drown in their encounter. With all the feelings that came with it. Without having to worry about anything. Ji Ho felt Vlad's turmoil through the Bond and he expected him to say no. But Vlad agreed immediately. Vlad would do anything Ji Ho demands of him. Though, he wasn't sure how to survive this. It was hard for him before to not just explode as soon as Ji Ho touched him. And he prayed to the gods he would last until Ji Ho found his release. Only then he would allow himself to come. The Bond only made this harder for both of them. They felt how aroused the other was, they knew exactly how to play the other's body, where to touch to bring pure bliss to their loved one.

... It was everything Ji Ho had hoped for - and more. There were so many firsts for both of them. Vlad was reluctant at first and prepared him tenderly. But when Ji Ho begged him to let go, he oblieged. To make it unforgettable for Ji Ho. It was as soon as the Bond told him how much he indulged it, his movements got bolder. Ji Ho was in an utter state of bliss - and he did this to him. He made Ji Ho feel this way. And he would even make it better for him. Vlad let go of everything that held him back and gave himself over to their pleasure.

And when they went to the shower after their shared climax, Vlad's scars were gone. Ji Ho: "You won't regret it, I promise. *Ji Ho hesitated for a moment* Vlad, what we did - I want to do it again." Vlad was completely spent, he gave Ji Ho everything he had. Vlad: "Now?" ö.ö' Ji Ho laughed: "Eh, later maybe? I meant with you - doing me?" Vlad: "Everything for you. I love you." Ji Ho kissed him tenderly: "I know." And then Ji Ho's hands wandered over Vlad's back again. No scars, just plain, soft skin. And Vlad's hard muscles below. Ji Ho loved it. He knows it must have cost Vlad a lot to let go. But then he got lost in the action again. Up and down. And down, down, down. Ji Ho couldn't get enough of all these new heady feelings. Vlad moaned.

The result of their thorough bond magic was a very deep connection with their meteorites. And they both felt a clear tug towards them. This should do to set a course. They went over to the bridge to tell the others, but the engines were already in full go. Great A'Tuin was on its way - in the direction where Ji Ho and Vlad located the meteorites. How did the others know? Jack: "Oh, Jonathan here thought we could follow the course they were on when we spotted them over Batuu. He computed the direction with the data we gave him." Ji Ho: "Awesome!" Vlad: ... Why didn't they come up with this idea earlier? Ji Ho softly touched Vlad's hand. Nothing to regret.

While Sai and Jonathan went back to their quarters to find out more about that one last save file from the Therapy Game Tiny Can kept - to make it safe so they could rescue whoever is trapped in there - the others tried to ponder about a way to find the meteorites. They'd last seen them on winter solstice at Batuu... Jack: "With the meteorites, we'd even been able to return home to the otherworld. And stay together while taking a break from all this madness. And we'd even be safe from the Council there." Vlad thought that sounded awesome. Then Jack could help him with Ji Ho. Like so often. Vlad: "This won't be easy though. We just need to find the meteorites that escaped... They could be everywhere - and who knows how far they've already traveled." Jack: "It could be easy. The meteorites are connected to Ji Ho and you. And they just left because we changed our route. I think they'll want us to find them. You just need to - connect with them. You know?"

Vlad: "No, Jack, I don't know. How can we possibly 'connect' with them?" Jack: "Bond Magic, Vlad. And a mere hug won't do here. You'll have to put a bit of effort in, if you know what I mean." Vlad's fist clenched around the joystick. This time he knows exactly what Jack means. To connect with the meteorites - that could be lightyears away - they'd need a strong magic. A magic that only can conjoured during a woohoo... And Ji Ho and him haven't woohooed since Ji Ho got his feelings back - months ago ö.Ö' Vlad hates this. This damn demanding Bond and the fateful connection between them. That connection that makes everything hard and difficult - and awkward. And Jack knows his best friend too well. He knows where Vlad's thoughts are roaming right now. Jack: "Let's face it Vlad. If it weren't for the Bond, you never would have gotten anything going on between Ji Ho and you. You should be grateful instead of fighting it." Jack is right, and Vlad hates it. So he blew up Jack's ingame ship. Jack: "Hey! We're on the same side here!"

Sai and Jonathan moved their tables together, just like in the old days. When Jonathan tought Sai everything about computers and programming. They plugged in Tiny Can - the cables running through three different ports. To keep everything save - there is still someone trapped in there ö.ö'

Jonathan looked over at Sai: "I missed this." Saiwa smiled: "Me too. And I missed you." Jonathan: "I missed you more."

They continued their work in comfortable silence. Just happy to be together again. Until - Jonathan: "This can't be." Saiwa: "Hm?"

Jonathan: "Come and look who's logged in." Saiwa: "We?" Jonathan: "But you're here!"

Saiwa: "What if it's not us but - them? The others that look like us. But why would Tiny Can trap them in there! This is so cruel!" Jonathan: "He didn't do it on purpose. That is somthing I'm utterly sure of. Jack said it was the day he broke after rescuing you out of the game. This must have been a malfunction. Your whole setup ran with the meteorites. And from what you told me, the meteorites are connected to some of you - if not all of you. Your worlds collided and it caused interferences. It's not Tiny Can's fault." Sai was just about to snap at Jonathan, but he continued: "I don't say it's your fault either. But you are obliged to help them, hm? One last time."

Saiwa sighed from the depths of his soul. But he now saw how wrong he was. He almost destroyed Tiny Can and by doing that, he might have killed the Night Shadow, Conny, Val and Jino who were trapped ingame! Saiwa: "By entering our realm, these meteorites must have intertwined our worlds somehow. Even though we never met the other 'us', there are overlaps. Like when we landed on Batuu and everyone there thought we were them. Did we cross the line to their universe then? And someone must also have written the book we found in Windenburg - about Val and Jino's story." Jonathan: "I think it's best we only send Jack and Jeb ingame to get the others back. With Jino, Val, Conny and the Night Shadow already logged in, it would endanger the whole mission if we sent their counterparts - you, Ji Ho, Vlad and Kiyoshi - and it might even break Tiny Can again." Jeb and Jack. The two of them Sai cared about most. Jonathan: "Don't worry. You can continue our work here and I'll go and talk to the others."

And off he went. Before talking to Jack and Jeb, Jonathan took Kiyoshi and Vlad aside to break the news. Jack is the weakest link in their chain - and the youngest of them. Vlad is worried about his best friend.

Kiyoshi at first too. But Jack has changed a lot - for the better. Kioyshi: "They will succeed. I'm convinced of it. Just - please make sure they're safe." Jonathan: "We will."

And so Jonathan went over to the bar to talk to Jeb and Jack about their mission. It wasn't hard to convince them. Jack and Jeb even solved the murder mystery around Jack's ingame death. So Jack agreed immediately and his attention went to his plate full of pangalactic goodies ^^' Jeb also didn't hesitate. Of course he'd rescue the others. They agreed on leaving the gas mine after packing up everything, board Great A'Tuin II and let Vlad and Ji Ho do their bond magic to find the meteorites so they can start the game.

After Jack finished his plate, he left Jonathan and Jeb to meet Kiyoshi. He has a surprise for him. Jeb wanted to leave too, but Jonathan held him back. Jonathan: "Let's talk about Vanië."

Jeb: "Uhm. Ok." The man from Saiwa's past and the man of his present. And they both love Saiwa enough to agree on that they'd do everything to make him happy. Whatever it takes.

Jack called Kioshi down to the cargo bay of the mining complex. Kiyoshi laughed. Only Jack could unearth such a huge cake! But where is he?

Jack: "Surprise!" Aouwww! He even wears the pants that Kiyoshi loves so much! And just the pants - nothing else ^^'

Jack: "I'm yours to devour tonight." Kiyoshi: "Can't wait. You look delicious. Come down here so I can have a taste."

Kiyoshi looked at Jack and his heart went heavy: "Promise me you'll be careful. No nonsense ingame. No careless actions. No distractions. Just get them out of there." Jack: "I promise. Ingame time runs faster. You won't even notice I'm gone." Kiyoshi: "I will. My life is nothing without you."

Jack wasn't even able to answer, so fast Kiyoshi hauled him in his arms and kissed him senseless. Kioyshi moaned in Jack's mouth between the kisses: "Gods - you're so hot. Too bad we don't have our own quarter here. We will have to wait until we're back on board."

Jack, just as breathless as Kiyoshi: "I can't wait! I want you - now." They looked at the cake. Jack: "Do you think, we..." Kiyoshi: "We won't find out until we try it. Come." Jack pressed his hips against Kiyoshi's: "Oh, I'm sure I will ;)" And soon he did. And shortly after Kiyoshi.

'Workin' double-time on the seduction line She's one of a kind, she's just a-mine, all mine Wanted no applause, just another course Made a meal outta me, and come back for more Had to cool me down to take another round Now, I'm back in the ring to take another swing That the walls were shakin', the Earth was quakin' My mind was achin', and we were makin' it
