Chapter 1.51 Moon Stone Retrieval et Au Revoir France

Alyssa woke up early on the second day in Champs les Sims



She decided to get up before sunrise, as she had an important day of exploring to do. Hopefully she won't be distracted by another boy, because she already has one that she's keeping a secret. It would be better off without two boys that she had to keep from Tyler.


After showering and getting dressed, she headed out. She went to where the moon stone was supposed to be hidden, and looked around a little for a way in to this tomb. When she saw the rock opening, she figured this must be it.
"Ha! This is easy." She grinned, and went down the stairs.


When she got downstairs though, she came face to face with a pile of rocks. Did she have to destroy these to get pass? As the slight bit of wall she could see behind the pile was a little different to the rest. She glanced around the room, and the only other thing she could see in there was some metal and a nearby pickax. So, after collecting it, she got to work on all the rocks, hopefully it wouldn't be too hard.


After a while of trying to destroy the rocks with a nearby pickax, Alyssa realised that she had spoke too soon. This would not be an easy task, especially if this was the first barrier.


Luckily, the next room didn't have too much of a Herculean task. All Alyssa could do was hope that she would make it out of here, somehow, with the Moon Stone with her.


She had to stick her arm in possibly spider and cockroach infested holes, as a way to open all these damn locked doors. Whoever wanted to protect this Moon Stone, they did a fairly good job of it by setting up a bunch of traps along the way.


When she had found the heart key stone, she was honestly excited. She thought this was the Moon Stone, but she soon realized it wasn't as it just seemed like any ordinary rock, that and there was a hole in the wall that was clearly made for that key stone.
"I guess it's just never ending." She murmured, picking up the heavy stone and managing to open one of the doors.


As any normal person would, Alyssa felt uneasy seeing the skeleton there. Another explorer that tried to come in here, and probably got trapped behind the door she had just opened. After picking up the gem (Still not the Moon Stone) Alyssa ran out of that small room, leaving the skeleton alone.


Alyssa has never been a strong girl, and since this pressure plate needed something heavier, she honestly considered going home. She powered through, and grabbed the heavy statue and began to pull it on the the plate. "This f*cking Moon Stone better be worth it." She grunted, slowly pulling the statue.


As she came down the stairs, she knew she was close. She had to be close! The Moon Stone had to be somewhere down here, she just needed to carry on figuring out which wall was pushable or linked to some step.


After taking all of the relics down here (what? It wasn't like anyone was using them) Alyssa moved another heavy statue into the pressure plate near the door. She was so close to the Moon Stone! When it was in place, she heard the now familiar click of the doors opening. She opened the doors.


When she walked in, she saw glistening near one of the holes. That must be where it was kept. After a long time of digging through rocks, jumping on pressure plates, pulling and pushing statues, and sticking her arm in bug infested holes, she finally had done it.


She went over to the hole, and put her arm in. She searched around for it, until her hand hit something cold. The Moon Stone. She practically jumped up and down with giddiness when she found it, but she quickly put it away, just in case anyone saw her with it. Not like anyone could make it down here, but just in case.


Once she was out of the tomb, she saw how late it had gotten. Then, she started cheering "I got it!" Over and over again. But, her expression then turned into a frown when she realized she would be coming back home again soon. She had to say goodbye to Matteo, and spend some more time with him.


Alyssa told him all about her adventures in the tomb, much to his shock and surprise. "Mon Belle, you should not have gone in there. Its a very dangerous place to go." He frowned. "And your Tyler, he told you to go in there? For what reason?"
"It wasn't just Tyler, it was Bonnie too. They wanted me to go in there to retrieve something special for them." She half smiled. "Its not that big of a deal, really." She assured him, "I'm fine anyway. Its not like I got hurt."
"But you could have." He pointed out. "I don't want my precious Belle getting hurt." He frowned.


"I'm fine Matteo." She smiled slightly. She loved how caring he was of her, even though they hadn't known each other long. "Well, I could be better. Tonight is my last night here." She frowned.
"You only came for a few nights?" He asked, and she nodded.
"My birthday is soon, and I want to be at home for it. I'm sorry." She sighed.


"You can't help when your birthday is Belle." He half smiled. That was another thing she liked, he gave her a cute little name, Belle. Well, in full Mon Belle (my beautiful). She looked away, thinking about something before she looked back at him
"Do you wanna come over to my base camp?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.


When they were back at hers, he asked, "Belle, how far do you want to go?" He felt as if he had to ask, mostly because he didn't want to pressure her by going too far.
"I'm willing to go as far as making out in our underwear, but no further." She looked at him, seriously. "That's as far as I want to go right now." She whispered.
And so that was what they did, but they went no further than night.



Unfortunately, she had to leave in the early hours of the morning. She hugged him tightly, stood on her tip toes slightly. "I'm really going to miss you, Matteo." She whispered, sniffling.
"I'll miss you too Belle." He murmured in reply. "Promise me you will come and visit again, once you are an adult. We can spend more time together, and my birthday is also soon."


"I'll be back, I promise." She didn't trust her voice to go any higher than a whisper. "When I do come back, we'll spend the whole time together." Her voice was slightly muffled as she stayed close to him. With a heavy heart, she back away. "Au Revoir." She smiled sadly, "See? My French isn't that bad."
"It getting better Belle." He smiled. "Maybe one day you'll be a natural."


She gave him one last kiss, but there was one thing that was bothering her about it.
There were no fireworks.

AN: The tomb was a pain in the ass. I got this bug where after midnight, nothing could be clicked on or used. A lot of other people have this trouble, so Alyssa had to go back home and back to France. 
Next chapter she'll be back in good old Dragon Valley (Where it is her birthday and the last chapter of Generation 1. Woo!

  1. *whistle*. Alyssa in undies ;P Well, that went pretty easy. Not for you though, but for Alyssa. I kind of expected everything to blow up in her face. Wonder if she'll ever meet Matteo again?

    1. Don't get too excited ;) Its only the back of her underwear.
      It certainly wasn't easy for me. Multiple travels, and completing a tomb before midnight (which I did and looted).
      She will meet Matteo again, she promised him she would.

  2. That sounds like a really annoying bug to deal with. I haven't gotten World Adventures so I don't know about the tombs personally, but it seems like they'd be frustrating to stage photos in :P But you did a really good job!

    I was also expecting the hunt for the moon stone to blow up in Alyssa's face. But it's good that she was successful. Still, I'm wondering what will happen once she's back in Dragon Valley and reunited with Tyler. I'm also eager to see her become a young adult.

    1. Ah, it is. Its the first time I ever encountered it so it may just have been a one time thing (Or I usually go to China so it may have just been a Champs les Sims thing.) They're annoying lighting wise, but sims pull good faces when they're in tombs, they're always amazed or terrified or surprised, its fun.

      Luckily it didn't, she just had to face a tomb and encounter with a skeleton (unfortunately, this one isn't a detective (inside joke)) I'm excited for Alyssa's generation to fully take over, and I've got an outfit all ready for her when she becomes a young adult :3

  3. Well, getting the moonstone was easier than I expected it to be, I wonder what Bonnie & Tyler intend to do with it in order to bring the phases of the moon back...

    I have a bad feeling that Alyssa's liaison with Matteo is going to blow up in her face at some point.

    1. Hah, everyone thought it would be difficult to get the moon stone. But what Bonnie and Tyler do with it is highly classified information. *puts shades on to make it more serious*

      Well, it would be a little boring if everything was settled nicely ;) I'm currently writing the blow up right now.

  4. Congrats on the getting the Moon Stone to Alyssa! And to successfully navigating international waters. Ha! Oh I hope she has figured out which boy she wants by the time she gets home though.

    1. I think it was more of a pain for The Watcher than it was for her, even though she ended up hurting her hand a lot while breaking all the rock piles. She was pouting and shaking her hand a lot.
      She's still torn between the two boys, she wants them both.

  5. Matteo seems like a good kid. I like that he asked her how far she wanted to go.

    So we're calling baseballs moonstones now? ;) Glad she got what she came for.

    1. He is a good kid, at least right now he kind of is.

      Hah, I actually did make a moonstone shaped gem out of moonstone but my game was like "Hey! Lets crash to piss off Carrie!" And I lost all the work I had on getting 100 gems cut.
