Generation 1, Chapter 2

Aqua Family History
Written by Boreal Aqua

Welcome back, dear readers. The publisher informed me the Verona Vibe received some wonderful letters from you all regarding the first installment of my family's history. It pleases me no end that you have enjoyed my tale thus far! So, without further ado, let us get back to the early years of the Aquas.


Slick Aqua and Sinjin Smith spent a year in courtship and, romantic that he is, Sinjin frequently left her gifts, such as the single perfect rose in a delicate crystal vase captured in this picture.


It wasn't long at all before they became the most important person in each others lives and Slick finally worked up the courage to ask Sinjin to move in with her. Not being any kind of a fool, he immediately said yes.

An early portrait of the couple a photographer captured.


For some time, the two shared a bed without sharing a last name. Rumor has it that despite the temptation, they never behaved improperly until they were legally wed. Believe it or not as you choose. For myself, I could see my ancestress going either way. But whichever she chose to do, I'm sure she stuck to her guns without allowing anyone to change her mind.


One would think being an exterminator that Sinjin would be a major neat freak. But apparently that's not at all the case.


No... not the case AT ALL. In fact, that first morning after Sinjin moved in, Slick promptly sold her cheap shower and bought a shower/tub combo and accepted the expense of hiring a maid.


Either Slick was standing off to the side to snap this picture, or Sinjin managed to set up a tripod. But here's an early picture of Sinjin after he quit the extermination job he had and went for a very new look. Sinjin was born under the sign of Sagitarius and he voraciously persues Knowledge in all forms. There have been some documents I have come across that indicates Sinjin eventually become one of the top Criminal Masterminds in all of Veronaville, although he apparently never got caught by the police.

As mentioned previously, he is quite a slob (0), but quite outgoing (7) and active (8). Although he does have a serious side (4) and, like Slick, can be very grouchy (3) when the mood strikes. He'd written in a letter to a friend that he loved the smell of a great perfurme on a woman and enjoyed touching a woman when she was more curvy than muscular. But apparently, my ancestor was a bit puritan. He didn't enjoy seeing people in bathingsuits.


Slick and Sinjin realized within that first year of living together that this was the "real thing."


So Slick decided she wasn't about to waste any precious time on this SimEarth and came home from work one day with a small black box for Sinjin. She definitely wasn't a traditionalist, my multi-greats Grandmother!




And again, not being a fool, Sinjin said yes.


They immediately had the necessary paperwork drawn up and got married in a private ceremony with just themselves. Sinjin's family all lived over in Simurope and we all know how Slick got along with her parents. She did try to have her sister there, but Icy wasn't willing to cross their parents that much, not even for such a special day as this.


I believe the rumors of Slick and Sinjin having waited until they were husband and wife were true, simply because I'd come across a scrap of a letter Slick had written to Icy raving about how fantastic a lover Sinjin was, referring to him as her husband. If they'd had "relations" before, I doubt she'd first be telling her sister about it then. At least, that's my belief on the matter.


Slick really did have an eye for great artwork and over the years fills her home with such incredible murals as the one gracing the wall of her bedroom.


Of course, as her parents had predicted, Slick was beginning to have a bit of an impact on her immediate environment. Fortunately, Sinjin enjoyed the cold and liked the unique "landscaping" his wife was giving their home.


Speaking of their home, here's another shot of the early Vacha Estate. Can you believe that was what our mansion originally looked like?


Apparently Slick was very excited when she earned enough money to buy her very first car, given that she'd written everyone she knew to rave about it. Yes, I know. What a shock. It's blue with blue detailing. She's nothing if not consistent!

Well, I believe this is a good place to stop for this week. Next week should be an exciting chapter in the Aqua history though! I hope to see you all there. ~Boreal
