Just One Part 5? Wow, how did I get here??

I'm still a little amazed that I'm actually on part five of this series and have recieved such positive feedback from it. You guys make me keep it going!
I've got a lot of ideas still and I'm really not sure how I'm going to end it. I guess I really don't want to think about the ending because then I'll lose those characters but I guess I need to at some point in time. Does everyone want it to end happily ever after? I must admit that I do. But then another part of me says don't do it like that. Yeah, I might have a few tricks up my sleeve. Maybe not such an expected ending will happen.
I have a favor to ask...is anyone good with website design? Cuz I'm not. I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to that and I think it would be pretty rad to spruce The Good Fight Productions up. If anyone would be willing to help I'd be so appreciative!

Just One Part 3

So I got Just One Part 3 released...I know, I know, FINALLY, right? Haha I'm sorry it took so long. I just didn't have alot of extra time to work on it these past months. Thankfully school is over for the semester and the summer awaits. I'm ready to begin working on part 4 soon becuase I've defintely got some ideas. Thanks to all that watched part three and left me the nice comments. I read each and everyone and treasured those that liked what happened in this part.
And I know this part didn't really move anything further along, but I'm taking my time to develop the characters and story...a good or bad thing? I'm not really sure since this isn't a book and there's only so much I can do with The Sims 2. But I really want to set up a strong foundation for Mitch and Rosalie...their past, present and future. In this part of the series, I wanted to get across the notion that Mitch isn't so bad..he's just confused and scared. I mean, wouldn't anybody feel that way when you had such a burden? But I also wanted to communicate the feelings Rosalie and Mitch shared not so long ago and how they're still close to the surface in each one of them. Although both are trying to supress them in different ways.
So Part three was about Mitch noticing little things in Rosalie he had forgot or tried to forget. They grew up together and were very close friends. There was alot they both knew about one another. And as much as Mitch wants to fight it...he can't deny those old feelings again. Life for him at the moment is a whirlwind...becoming a father, dealing with rumors at school, and having a girlfriend that doesn't understand. And then there's Rosalie. Something about her still draws him to her. The last scene in the movie is my favorite thus far. I was so thrilled to see iceskating included in the seasons expansion. How romantic, right?
And the iceskating scene is actually a memory from the past. I noticied some were commenting about it being a dream, but Mitch is actually remembering the time in his past that held a big marker: His relationship with Rosalie changing from friends to something more and having their first kiss. Slipping in this memory, Mitch eventually does fall asleep until the kiss with Rosalie jolts him awake. He had been feeling all those emotions of that night within him and a part of him yearned to embrace that, but the other told him to stay away from it because those feelings will only do harm.
So, hmm...what might happen next? Oh, kinda alot! haha I hope anyway! Thanks for watching...it makes me so happy to see others dive into the story as much as I do...
