Hello all, and welcome to my Rainbowcy, Shattered Light. I have become addicted to berry sweet sims, and have decided to jump on the Rainbowcy Bandwagon (as I've heard it called) Please enjoy my story, and comment often! [:

I don't mind idle chatter here, in fact I enjoy it! :] Just no arguing. Also, I don't know if this needs to be said or not, but I don't mind if you tell me when you put up a new update. I think some people have issues with other people "advertising" on their thread, but it doesn't bother me.

On PAGE 100 there is an announcement for the 100 page celebration!









You can call me Shogunfish or you can call me Tiare ('cause that's my pen name (; ) either one is fine! But don't think that my name has to do with guns, because it doesn't. I could go into that long explanation if somebody asks, but only if somebody asks.


(thanks to Kali's siggy/banner shop for the new and improved banner)

I will provide links to the heirs to each Generation, and if anyone ever wants a link to somebody else in the story please tell me and I can get that to you! If there are sims you want in my story I might be able to put them in. Right now I have Fawkes skintones, so sims who have those are welcome. No CC, though. So if there's a sim you'd like in my story give me a link (but there's no garuntees.) and I'll see if I can find them a part, I also have to check if they have store or EP items that I don't have. If they are included I'll make a post after the chapter they first appear in with a link to their download, as well as adding their download link to this post here (apparently it's the everything post)

For the next generations I will be using Fawkes skintones! ( Here is where I got them!)

I will try to update as often as I can, hopefully no less than once a week. (Although I'm sure that sometimes updates will come much faster than that!) And I'll try to give a warning if there's a long period of time in which I can't update.

I also just want to issue a trigger warning for Harlequin's generation. There's one topic in particular that could be very triggering for some people.

And a message to all the wonderful writers I'm about to list, I am open to suggestions and pointers. I'm always looking to become a better writer!

Also here's a list of the other Rainbowcies that inspired me to start my own. Some are still pretty short, but I love them all the same! They are all wonderfull, and great reads, so check them out!

Prologue

I'm sure that by now you can all guess how my life started. Boring. My name is Greth, which is a Norwegian name meaning Pearl. That's exactly how I would describe myself. Not that I'm pretty like a Pearl, but do you know how pearls are formed? Through constantly irritating the oyster. That is how I would consider that I become who I am, by constantly irritating my parents. It wasn't on purpose, but everything I did bothered them.




So once I was old enough to move out on my own that's what I did. I moved out of the blank page I called home and into Apple Pie Plains. The Berry Sweetest place I've ever seen. This is me.



I didn't have a whole lot of money, so I bought myself a nice little house. It was white, of course it was. As much as I wanted color I didn't know how to put color into my life without going overboard.



The only color for me was in my painting. I could paint all of the color that I dreamed of, and never have to worry about overloading myself. The first thing I bought in Apple Pie Plains was a paint brush (since my parents didn't allow it at home)



When I got bored of painting I decided to go outside and read the newspaper. That way I could get myself acquainted with the town without embarrasing myself. Unfortunatly I didn't avoid meeting anyone. Well, I wouldn't say unfortunatly.



"Hi" He said, "I'm Red, and you are?"
"I'm Greth..." I said, embarrassed. I had never liked my name, it always sounded weird when I said it aloud.
"Greth?" He asked.
"Yeah, it means Pearl in Norwegian." I told him.
"Oh. Fitting."



We talked for a while, and the whole time I had a burning desire to ask if he was dating somebody, but I knew that would be too forward and I resisted.



I did, however, get up the courage to invite him inside. Though I regretted it, because as long as we were outside I could ignore the fact that my house was so small and plain. But it was too late.



He seemed apprehensive to come in, which was a sign to me that he had a girlfriend, but he came in nonetheless. He didn't stay long, though.
"It was nice meeting you, Greth." He said, "But I've got to get to work."



"See you!" He waved, walking out my door.
I didn't say anything, I just watched him leave. I whispered "Bye" after he closed the door.



I went and laid on my bed. Life in Apple Pie Plains was going to be different, but other than that I had no idea what to expect.

Also, could somebody possibly help me make the names of the stories a link to the post. I can't figure out how to do that.

Remove the stars, and then it shows up like this

I love the story, and Apple Pie Plains? I just about died when I heard that *so cute!!!*

Thank you! I spent a while trying to think of a good berry sweet name for it!

Also thank you for the instructions on linking!

Okay. I think I should have researched this a little before I started, but I made a banner to use (in Photoshop) how do I get the image so that I can put it on my signature? Is there a way to do it not using photo bucket?

Nope hon you have to use a picture hosting site. D:

If you already knew that I am so sorry >.< I think that was what you are asking. Or just yah you gots to use a hosting site like Photobucket. I personally like Photobucket though.

Chapter 1: Part 1: Surpise, Surprise



My first painting ended up looking a little weird. I'm not even sure what it was supposed to be, but I was okay with that. After all I was pretty new to this whole 'color' thing. I promised myself that I would do better next time...



I don't think that I kept that promise with myself. I consoled myself with the fact that this time I could tell what it was, even if it was just blobby color. I called it the Aurora Borialus.



After that I started to see a theme. Most of the paintings were too embarrasing and I didn't want anyone to see them, but they all had one color in common. I decided that I had to get it off my mind, so I went out to get the newspaper.



I was startled when I went outside. At first I didn't notice him. Until he said:
"Hey, Greth."
"Hey... Red." I looked over at him. "What's up?"
"Um... I don't know. I just wanted to talk."
I was jumping up and down like a little girl on the inside.
"About what?"



I walked over to him.
"I need your help with something." He told me.
Deep breaths, Greth. I told myself. I don't know what it was about Red, but I couldn't hold still around him.
"With... my girlfriend..." He said.
Suddenly I stopped moving. Those two words. 'My girlfriend'.



"Greth?" He asked, "Are you okay?"
"Um... I don't know her, and I don't know you very well, I'm not sure what help I could be."
"Please. You seem really nice, and I think you two could be friends. I just need your help."
"With what?" I sighed.
"I want you to meet her. Some of her friends moved away and she's been really sad."
You want me to hang out with your girlfriend?!? You really have no people skills, do you? I thought. But that's not what I said. "Um... yeah, I could meet her."
"Thank you so much! I really owe you one! Here's my phone number, I'll call you tomorrow!" He said, running off.



As soon as he left I went back inside. I regretted not being forward the day before, because though I would have been shot down I wouldn't have to pretend to be friends with his girlfriend. I knew I didn't have to, but even though he was being inconsiderate a little part of me felt the need to be nice.

Although another little part of me didn't. That part said "Actually, don't call me tomorrow" as I closed the door behind myself.

Oh it's super easy. Even using Imageshack is cool too. :3 You don't have to use just one specific one, even Tinypic is good too! I mean just look around for something you are comfortable with and if you don't want to signup for something you don't have to! I have just used Photobucket forever now. D:!

Ok. I'll check all of those out. Thanks!

Very cute start.
^-^
Although, I must admit.
Him having girlfriend = broken heart.
D;

Thank you! I was worried that the start would be a little awkward, because I didn't know what to do besides dive right into the story. I'm glad it's working out.

Edit: Grammar...

That goes without saying, my dear Skippeh. It goes without saying...

I like Greth. She's really pretty, and has a few insecurities which I find cute! Ugh, Red: WHY U NO SINGLE?

;D

Great Start!
