Welcome
back to Pollination : Mission Statement! We begin this chapter with our
lovely heiress officially graduating from high school! She's voted . . .
Most Likely to Burn Down the House? Well that's . . . a little
unnecessary. :(
In celebration, Bellatrix decided to have a day out on the town. She headed out to the central park in Starlight Shores.
It was supposed to be a happy day, but Bellatrix found herself a little down. Sure, she was absolutely gorgeous and incredible and destined to become the greatest actress this city had ever seen. But what did that mean if she was all alone? She couldn't help but think that, at her age, her mom already had her dad and her twin sisters were already incubating. Her own alien instincts were now raging, but she hadn't been lucky enough to imprint on anyone like her mother, or her grandfather before her. There just didn't seem to be anyone worthy enough in Starlight . . . .
After a moment, voices drew her out of her uncharacteristic melancholy. And as she took in the strange duo in front of her, her eyes slowly widened to their limits.
MYSTERY 1 - I'm sure it's just a form of seating, Gemini. It's clearly inanimate. There's no chance of it attacking you, I'm almost positive.
MYSTERY 2 - Pfft. Thanks for ruining all my fun, Centarus. Where's your sense of adventure, anyhow? It was much more fun imagining it as some fire-breathing monster about to POUNCE at any second!
It didn't take long for the two strangers to realize they were no longer alone in the park. For a moment the three just stood and stared at each other, not entirely sure what to say or do.
GEMINI - I thought you said we'd ended up in Starlight Shores, Centarus. Isn't that an Earth-Sim town?
CENTARUS - We ARE in Starlight Shores.
GEMINI - Well then, what's a Collective FEMALE doing here?
BELLATRIX - I was born here, actually.
GEMINI - Oh, excuse my manners. We've been traveling for quite a while, I almost forgot what it was like to talk to someone other than my egghead brother over there. My name is Gemini Crux, and that's Centarus. We're explorers from the planet Torango.
BELLATRIX - . . . if she's an actress she's even better than me. And since I know that that's not possible, she must be telling the truth . . . .
Bellatrix knew that 'aliens' existed, of course. She herself was descended from two of them. But she'd never heard of different species before. Yet these two were definitely not from the same people her father and grandfather were.
Time for investigation.
BELLATRIX - Okay then, why are you guys here?
GEMINI - As Torangee explorers, we are tasked with experiencing new cultures and lifestyles all over the galaxy. We were SUPPOSED to end up on Lunar Lakes for this mission, but it seems we took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up on Earth instead. I'm sure it's all my brother's fault. It usually is.
CENTARUS - *grumbles under his breath*
And then, suddenly, a wild Scorpius appeared.
And as soon as he got a good look at Gemini, his male teen alien hormones jumped up and began singing a full on chorus.
SCORPIUS - H-hi . . . pretty . . . pointed ears . . . hawt . . . .
GEMINI - Ooo, look! A hybrid! He's so cute!
Probably not exactly the reaction that Scorp was hoping for, but at least it's something?
While Gemini drifted off to greet the newest arrival, Bellatrix got out her phone and dialed up her father.
BELLATRIX - Daddy? What do you know about the planet Torango?
SIX - They're a society of intellectuals and explorers. They sort of look like what Earth Sims call elves. Why?
BELLATRIX - Well, it seems like two of them have just arrived in Starlight Shores . . .
Scorpius starts having a hand-fight, but I see where those eyes are plastered, buster.
It seems that Gemini and Scorpius share the Childish trait, however. So something tells me they'll be making fast friends. >:D
BELLATRIX - They eat normal things, right daddy?
SIX - As far as I know . . . why? You're not planning on bringing them home, are you?
BELLATRIX - They'll need somewhere safe to stay, dad.
SIX - They're not puppies, Bellatrix, they're people.
BELLATRIX - Exactly. Which is why I'm offering them a place to stay.
SIX - But--,
BELLATRIX - Love you daddy, see you soon. Bye-bye! *hangs up*
Bellatrix and Scorpius weren't the only ones taking notice of the new arrivals in town.
PAPARAZZI - Hah! Evidence! I told them aliens existed, but they all laughed at me. We'll see who's laughing now!
As Gemini was a little preoccupied with Scorpius, Bellatrix approached her brother instead. And inwardly somewhat stunned at the strange, fluttering feeling in the pit of her belly when she did so.
BELLATRIX - Um, hi Centarus? I'm Bellatrix. I imagine you and your sister will need somewhere to stay while you're here. It's not really safe to stay out in the open like this, but you're welcome to come back with me to my home.
When he smiled, that fluttery feeling just got ten times worse.
CENTARUS - Thank you, Bellatrix. You are most kind to offer, and I am happy to accept.
They all piled into Bellatrix's BMW and in no time found themselves sitting in the living room. Stories were shared all around. Cassiopeia was a little reluctant at first, but soon came around. Mostly convinced by the glances that kept going back and forth between her daughter and the mysterious Torangee explorer beside her. It wasn't long before Cassi was sharing embarrassing baby stories, much to Scorpius' delight and Bellatrix's horror.
Cassi finally decided to make herself scarce, so nature could take it's course on it's own. Scorpius and Gemini bond further over some silly faces.
Adorable silly faces.
While Bellatrix and Centarus bond over a discussion about art, of which Centarus was very interested in.
BELLATRIX - I don't really know all that much about art, to be honest. Aquila is the artistic one in the family, not me. I can barely make stick-figures.
CENTARUS - On the contrary, Bellatrix. You must know something of art. You're gazing at artistic perfection every time you look into a mirror.
Wow, smooth Centarus. Real smoooooth.
Scorpius and Gemini migrated outside for a game of tag. At least I hope that's what they're doing . . . .
Meanwhile things indoors continue to heat up. Once those imprints are made, it's hard to slow it down after all. ^_~
CENTARUS - I hope you don't think it too presumptious of me to say, Bellatrix, but you are quite possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in all the known galaxy.
BELLATRIX - Aww, thank you, Centarus. You're not too bad yourself, you know.
CENTARUS - Then I hope you will look favorably upon me for this---.
*makes touchdown celebration noises*
Awww. I think the both of them are properly smitten now. ^_^
CENTARUS - I am a Torangee Explorer tasked to search the galaxy for the greatest of treasures, and I think that at last I have found my own. I know it seems sudden but I would be very honored if you would accept me as your partner, Bellatrix.
D'awwww. I think that's a yes. :D
With a capital Y.
With some exclamation points for good measure? O_o
I swear it's all their fault. They both rolled wishes to woo-hoo each other as soon as they started Going Steady. So I indulged. XD
No baby chimes yet though. I want Bellatrix to get a little farther in her career first, and I need to empty out the house some first before we add to it anyways. So this is just some bouncy-fun-time. ^_^
Meanwhile, in another room of the house, a different sort of celebration was taking place. Time for Six to make that last transition into elder-hood. Cassi and Comet are there to cheer him on.
He may be old, but he's still a bad@ss to me. ^_^
For Cassi too, it seems. ^_~
Aquila gets my next portrait done, as Centarus is now officially the future spouse of Generation 3.
So I guess it's time to officially introduce him. Centarus has the Artistic, Bookworm, Disciplined, Genius and Green Thumb traits. He's a Gemini (hah), who enjoys Cobbler, Electronica music and the color Lilac. His Lifetime Wish is to be an Illustrious Author, and he along with his sister were made for me specifically for this legacy by the wonderful Jessu. Much hugs to you dear. <3
And now, before you go . . .
HAI BART!
