Secrets

Last time ...

Star realized that she had some very interesting abilities. I didn't even know she could do this. ;O) And she also found herself in a bit of legal trouble. Oh NO! Whatever will she do?! What's going on?!


Find out by reading on ... ;O)




Dear Rora,

I'm sorry for leaving you hanging in my last letter. But I had to get that project done. I'm not about to let my grades slip just because I ended up in some trouble. That would SO not be me.


Anyway ... where was I in my last letter? Oh yeah ...


UNDER ARREST!!

But be assured, little sister, that not all was as it seemed.

When she led me around to the front of the dorm, she led me to a LIMO. What police person or detective or law-abiding person leads someone to a LIMO if they're under arrest, I ask you?!

But I was so freaked out at the time, it didn't even register with me that it WAS a limo.

Heck, it didn't even register with me that the woman who slapped the cuffs on me had that Laughing Llama logo on the breast pocket of her dark jacket.


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

So there I was ...


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

... cuffed ...


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

... alone ...


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

... and headed to the end of my life in the medical career. Who the heck wants to hire a person with a record?!


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

A not-so-long ride later ... the limo (paddy wagon) pulled up outside of this HUGE building. When I looked out the window, it looked like FORT SIMKNOX!


Image hosted by Photobucket.com



I was in big trouble. I knew it. This was SERIOUS.

But then the dark glass separating me from the driver slid open. When I lifted my head, all I saw was a remote control and a hand. The hand pushed a button ... and *POOF*


My handcuffs fell off! I was free!


So I got out of the car.


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

When I looked up ... shock was NOT even the world for how I was feeling.


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

The place was bigger than I thought.


Image hosted by Photobucket.com



And then when the front door opened ... shock was SO not the word for how I was feeling when I saw some VERY familiar people.


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

And every single one of them had the dark jacket with the Laughing Llama on the breast pocket!


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

The leader ... my FRIEND ... welcomed me with open arms and a laugh. I guess she was very amused by the expression on my face.


Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

They welcomed me to the {CENSORED}!! A {CENSORED}, Rora!!! Whoda Thunkit?!?!


And they gave me my own jacket. Isn't it the COOLEST?!


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

They told me that whenever I wanted, I could call the limo to come pick me up from the dorm, and the driver would bring me here.


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Here ... where there are so many things that are NOT available on campus ... so many things at my fingertips! So many AMAZING things.


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

And I'm just so sorry that I can't tell you what they are ... or even describe them.


You see, Rora ... I may love you cuz you're my little sister, and I share all of my secrets with you. But ... there are just some secrets I just can't tell you. Some things you just have to find out about on your own.


Hehe.


But I'm not totally heartless.


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

All of these pictures that I've included will provide some clues for you to whet your appetite with. ;O)


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I feel so EMPOWERED being part of this {CENSORED}, Rora. You have NO idea.


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Anyway, sister-o-mine. I've gotta go. The end of my Sophomore year is nigh, and I have some studying to do.


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I expect to see you in a couple of weeks, woman! Prepare yourself, cuz I have some people I want to introduce you to. ;O)


I can't wait to see you! Tell mom and dad I said hi.


Love,

Star




That was funny. Hehe. I have a weird sense of humor. But it's a FUN sense of humor! *LOL*

Anyway, that's all for this update. Next time ... life with Aurora ("Rora") BEFORE college.


Later!

Under Arrest

Last time ...

Star finally entered her Freshman Year of University at Academie Le Tour and got herself settled in (including another makeover). She started meeting new and interesting people including her friend Lisa Creelman and a few people with these strange, dark jackets.


Please note: (1) I realized that I won't be able to recall what scholarships she got ... you can only look at those before she goes to college ... I think ... I'll look into it, but I might not be able to list them. (2) I left out some of the "pre-college" shots of Star leaving the Leggasea household lot to go to Sim State. As soon as I get them uploaded, I'll insert them into that "College Bound" post.


We now continue with her Sophomore year and some rather "interseting" developments.

On with the show!




Dear Rora,

I have officially entered my Sophomore year here at Academie Le Tour and I must admit that things have been strange from the get-go.


Image hosted by Photobucket.com



First of all ... I discovered that I have the ability to phase THROUGH people without it really bothering them.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I'm not quite sure how I feel about that.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Keep an eye on yourself, Rora. You might find that you have strange abilities, too. And it might happen at an "inopportune" moment. ;O)




Second ... I've been seeing more and more of those people I told you about ... you know ... the ones with the dark jackets with the Laughing Llama school mascot on the breast pocket?

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I've made friends with at least three of them. They're really interesting people, and seem to really enjoy meeting someone like me ... (I think it's the skin and eyes).

But anyway ... what I'm about to tell you ... you can NEVER reveal to anyone. I'm telling you because you're my little sister and I love you and I know you have plans to join me here in a year. Don't tell mom and dad though. They WOULDN'T understand.




One night ... I think it was my second semester ... yeah ... close to the end of my Sophomore year ... I failed to notice the quiet appearance of a long, dark limousine.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I was out back just enjoying the freshness of the night air and wouldn't have been able to see it anyway.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

And before I know what's happening, this blonde chick appears and starts giving me grief about stealing the answers to my Freshman Final exam!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I, of course, have NO idea what the hell she's talking about. I'm a good girl. Sure, I may be mischievous from time to time, but I'm NOT a thief!


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

She didn't believe me, Rora. Can you believe that? She called me a liar right to my face!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

She said that they caught the whole thing on film, and there was even a witness that admitted they saw me doing the deed!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

She arrested me, Rora. ME! Under arrest!!

Mom and dad are SO gonna freak ...

Image hosted by Photobucket.com



Oh, crap! Rora, I gotta go. I didn't realize how long I'd been writing. I've got a project I need to finish and it's after midnight. I'll send you another letter soon.

Remember ... DON'T TELL MOM AND DAD ... they would totally freak out. And I tell you ... it's not as bad as it seems. I'll tell you more in my next letter.


All my love,

Star




Am I evil or what?

*BWAAAHAHAHAHAAA* (revenge is SWEET)

You'll find out what happened to Star in the next update ... which will be coming sooner than you think! ;O)


See ya next time!

College Bound

Introductions first before I get into the meat. ;O)

Last time, Star and Aurora were kind enough to share with us their educational experiences (and not just schooling).


We now continue with our educational theme by talking about the beginning of Generation 2's college years.


Enjoy!




*sigh* I'm depressed. I'm depressed for lots of reasons actually. First of all ...

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I lost my job this evening. I made a STUPID mistake ... stupid, stupid, STUPID! *sigh*

I'm also depressed because it feels like FOREVER since I last said two words to Benjamin. *sigh*

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

But thankfully ... he realized that I was feeling down in the dumps and gave me a little bit of attention during his latest skill-building session.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I feel so loved ... I think.

And finally ... I'm depressed because my eldest child ... flesh of my flesh ... first child of my legacy ...

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

... is heading off to college today. Where did the time go? It gives me pleasure (Author's note: remember her goal is to get pleasure in as many forms as possible ... I haven't forgotten about that. ;o}) to know that she gets to do something that I never got a chance to do ... but she's going to be gone for such a long time. *sigh*



I am SO out of here!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I studied like a madwoman to get my scholarships (Author's note: I'll list them all later because I'm at work, and don't have the information in front of me. I'm a naughty girl).

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

And all of that studying has paid off. Academi Le Tour! Here I come!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Oh ... bye, mom! I'll call when I get settled.


So here I am. Freshman.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I think I grew up rather well, don't you?

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

And this is my dorm. After coming from a home with only four people in it, I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with living in a place that's going to have eight people in it. But college is all about experiences, right?

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

First thing on the agenda ... choose my room. Second thing ... declare my major. And since I'm interested in medicine, I think Biology is my best bet to give me the skills I need to succeed.

Okay ... that's all settled. Now ... it's time to change my look.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I'm practically an adult now, and I need a more adult appearance.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Hmmm ... I think this will work.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Yeah ... that looks good.



After changing my look, I did work on getting a headstart on my term paper, but after a while ... I realized that I needed a break.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Oh, yeah. BULLSEYE!!

I'm so busy in my Freshman year as I try to lay down a good foundation for the rest of my years here at Sim State. All of that work has left me with very little time to find out how everyone is doing at home, so ... I decided to write to Aurora. I want her to come to unversity when she graduates from high school, don'tcha know (alterior motive). ;O) Yeah ... she was a pain as we were growing up at home, but I'm practically an adult now, and she'll be where I am in a few years. I've got to prepare her for it (great sister that I am).

So ...



Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Dear Rora,

College life so far is okay. I've been spending most of my time studying, but you know how I am. Besides, I found a dormmate who likes to study just as much as I do, and we have made it our duty to make sure the rest of the dorm stays on top of their schoolwork. This is Lisa Creelman. She's great.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com


But she's not the only one. I'm meeting so many new and interesting people here.


Image hosted by Photobucket.com


And speaking of meeting "interesting" people ... I've noticed the strangest thing around campus. I've seen more than a couple of people walking around campus with these dark jackets with our school's mascot (The Laughing Llama) on the breast pocket, but every time I try to ask about the jackets, every single one of them directs to conversation back to me. I've never talked about myself so much before.


They wanna know about my skintone and texture ... not to mention my eyes. But what could I tell them? That mom is an alien from another planet? That would probably go over like a ton of bricks. But there aren't that many people wandering around with purple skin. Green skin is one thing, but purple? It's a bit awkward. But then again ... I get the feeling that they think it's cool.

In the meantime,

Image hosted by Photobucket.com


Lisa and I are becoming the best of friends. I never had that many close friends in grade school and high school, but college is a whole other world.


Image hosted by Photobucket.com


We both really get into the school spirit when we're together. Cheering is lots of fun ... and aerobically fitting (not that I'm in bad shape or anything).


And oh! How do you like my new outfit? Schnazzy, right? I figured that I needed to look a bit more professional being in the medical career track.


Anyway, Rora ... I gotta go. I've got finals coming up and I need to study. Give mom and dad my love.


Star




And that's all for now! Next update ... Sophomore Year ... and something "Secret". ;O)
