So... I'm getting a new laptop. And I will not be able to transfer my data because I cannot upload anything to the Sims 3 site. :'( I'm upset, but hey.... it's not the end of the world.
Bye bye.....

Chapter 1: A week after the crash
Alright guys, this is it! The beginning!! WOOHOO! Anyway... Hope I didn't leave anything important out of this chapter, it took me forever to figure out how to start. So here goes nothing...
Sams POV
We were all sitting around the fire pit I've made. I was very pleased with what I've done so far, considering we've only been here a week. I got a shower going, the fire pit, the crib, and Chance helped with the tents.
"It's been a week." I say.
"Has it?" Fawn says in her strange, dreamy voice.
"Yes, I've been keeping count." I reply, remembering the marks in the tent me and Lizzie share."And I don't think we're going to be rescued."
"SAM!" Lizzie gasps. "Why would you think that?"
"I believe we were off course when we crashed. No one knows where we are."
"But Sam..." Fawn starts, pauses, then continues. "Aren't you important? Won't people look for you?"
"Aren't you important too?" I ask her. "Either way, even if someone did come looking, they wouldn't know where we are since we were off course."
"So what do you suggest we do?" Chance asks. Me and him, we've been kinda of like the leaders of the group.
"I think we should make a life here. Build a village, make generations of people free from the technology ridden world of ours."
"You mean make a utopia?" Chance asks.
"Yes, in a sort. Any objections, and you don't have to participate. We shall make a more detailed plan later." I adress the group, looking at each castaway. They all nod or grin (Fawn and Chance) as I come to the last peron, my wife.
"Liz."
"I dont know." She says, the storms off.
I sigh. This is going to be harder than I thought.
I turn to face him. "Ya?"
"What are we going to do for food?"
I glance over at our meager source of food. After a week, it the pile was running short.
"Who caught the fish?" I ask him.
"I did." He says proudly. "I think it's an anchovie."
I think for a minute, wondering what to do. Finally I come to a conclusion. "Chance, you and Fawn will be our fishermen. Me and Lizzie will take care of the garden and keep the fire going."
Fawn chuckles and I turn to her. "Whats so funny?"
"Oh nothing, justa joke Molly told me."
Molly turns to the group.
"A ragged individual stranded for several months on a small desert island in the middle of
the Pacific Ocean one day noticed a bottle lying in the sand with a piece of paper in it.
""Due to lack of maintenance,"" he read, ""we regretfully have found it necessary to cancel your e-mail account.""
""Due to lack of maintenance,"" he read, ""we regretfully have found it necessary to cancel your e-mail account.""
Everyone laughs, including Lizzie. I turn to her.
"Liz, look. I'm not saying we need to have kids."
"I know." She says. "I over reacted. And I know how much you want them too.."
"Liz , If you never want kids I'm okay with that, we'll live. I love you."
"I love you too." She says, right before I lean in to kiss her.
Well, I hope you enjoyed Chapter 1! It's probably not my best work, but I'll get there. Thanks for reading, and feel free to leave a comment or suggestion below!
And now here's some random pictures from the castaways.

Meet the Castaways
Alright guys, here's the first official post. HURRAY!
As I said, they're is going to be 2 adults, a couple, 1 young adult, 1 teen, 1 child, and 1 toddler. The descriptions go in this order. Name, age, personality, physical description, background, location. With picture in between.
The Castaways:
Red hair, Blond highlights. Very Hippy, loves drawing and talking.
Born and raised Arizona, USA. Fawn was raised among many siblings, and two hippy parents. When she turned 19, Fawn moved to NYC to become an artist. She was invited to an art show in France, so she took a boat to England and then to France.
Was traveling from New York to England to France.
Gray eyes, golden brown hair. Physically fit.
Grew up in Florida where Chance succeeded in football, baseball, and basketball. All the girls wanted him, and all the girls could have him.
Chance was traveling to visit his grandma in France.
Dark red hair, Green eyes.
Grew up in Cambridge with her Mother. Her father lived in France, and evry six months she visited him.
Was traveling from England to France.
Leo James
Brown hair, brown eyes.
No one knows much about Leos story, he washed up on the beach like the rest of them and started asking for his dad by saying, "Le wants Da. Daddy wants Leo J!"
We can only assume he was traveling with his father to France or father.
Elizabeth Baker, 41
Blond hair, Blue eyes. Thin, weak.
Elizabeth grew up with her mother and father, no siblings, which caused her to easily frustrate when cousins came to visit. She was taught how to sew before she could talk, and was cooking tea pastries not soon after. Her first words were, "Mother" and "Tea."
Grew up in modern England, at 18 went to college in London. Met Sam in her second year. He was studying science, she was trying to become a doctor. They got engaged in her senior year, but they didn't get married for another five years. Elizabeth was traveling with Sam to a science convention in France when the ship capsized.
Sam George Baker, 42
A little Chubby, dark black hair, brown eyes, tan skin.
Grew up with a doctor and a dentist for parents. Teased all the way to high school for his looks. (Glasses and suspenders) In college Sam got contacts, and later laser eye surgery, and changed his style. He met Lizzie (Elizabeth) and fell in love, even though he wasn't much of a flirter. The couple was living just outside London when Sam got the call for a big conference in France. Since Sam is scared of air travel they took a boat.
