The document introduces the character Adam "Sundown" Devereaux and provides backstory on how he named himself after a character from a book series. It then shows Adam settling into his new home and meeting some eccentric neighbors, including an elderly woman named Ann who takes a liking to him. Adam expresses his hopes of finding a wife but also enjoys the company of other women. The summary ends with Adam receiving a mysterious phone call from a woman named Tara inviting him out.

1. HELLOOOO Everyone! I'm ChanP or Chan for short. And this is my new
legacy! I haven't come up with a catchy, really cool name for it so... Let's
go with the Bawse Legacy. Made by bosses for bosses. Anywho, I'm
gonna try to make it last. Not going for points. No plots. Just.. attempts
at humor. Also. I’m sure the covers will get better, but this chapter took
so much to get out I didn’t even bother. And. I think I’m going to change
the naming scheme in the 2nd generation to match where the last name,
Devereaux, came from. Which is my current favorite book series, Dark
Hunter by Sherrilyn Kenyon. Wicked read. But, all that aside, let’s get
this show on the road!

2. Wow... What'd I get myself into? This isn't a ranch. There are
no stallions. This isn't Bawse... It's actually very UnBawse. This
place is more bare than a baboon's bottom.

3. And it smells... Like Urban. Ugh. This needs fixin' and fast. I
wasn't raised to just sit around on my butt. If anybody can turn
this shack into paradise, it's me. Cause I'm..

4. Jessup "Sundown" Adam Devereaux.
(Named after my favorite Dark Hunter in Kenyon’s series. William Jessup
“Sundown” Brady. He was a trained marksman before his murder, his
weapon of choice being a shotgun, and a hilarious cowboy.)

5. There. That didn't take too long. Got a bit of sawdust in my ear but ah well. Ain't
nothing wrong with getting a little dirty when you're doing hard work. Now what?
Now you tell them a little about yourself.
Oh right. Sounds like a good idea. Well. Like I said, name's Adam. Sundown if you're
nasty. And I hope you are cause I tell you I like to get a lil dirty myself.
Eh hem.
But anyway, like I was sayin'. Adam. Me. I'm a Libra. (2/8/5/3/7). I really dig blondes in
glasses. Woo wee that'll get my juices flowing. But I'm a family man. Takes just one
good lass to settle me down. And I reckon one day I'll be Captain Hero. Show these no
goods how to treat people.
Thanks. Now go do something important.

6. "Hehehehehehehehe!!!“
Important Jessup!
"What? If playing with my car ain't important I don't know what is.“
Oh I dunno... Studying?? So you don’t burn down the house??
"Awwwwwwwww. See that’s why I need a lady. Do the cookin’ for me.
They’re much better at it."

7. "Oh wow! There's some good stuff in here! This pretty little lady holding
the beater looks like she knows her way around heavy machinery. I
wouldn't mind-“
Your mind can always be found in one place can't it?
"Now that's not true. I like clothes too. Preferably ones on the ground but
cute little mini skirts will do just as well."
Well look there's a "little lady" here to meet you. Go greet her.
"Yes ma'am!"

8. Aww now this ain't what I had in mind at all. The frail bones I could
handle, but the wrinkles aren't doing anything for me.
"Hello there. I'm Ann, and I like pretty flowers.“
"Yeah? Name's Adam and I'm not much into flowers.“
"Oh.. That's too bad, they're really nice."

9. "Say, that coat you're wearing is nice too.“
"Really?" She has great taste! "Why thank ya ma'am! Went and picked it
out myself. Figure it went well with the boots.“
"Oh yes, I like it very much so. And you know what? I like you too.“
"Aww that's so sweet. I'm flattered."

10. "Well... I completely understand wanting to see beneath the
hood, believe me he's a beaut. But this may be taking it a little far. I didn't
know you liked me so much.“
"Oh yes.... I like you a lot.“
"I can see that... Oh look there's the door!"

11. "Howdy.“
"Sup.“
"Fellow Strong-Chinner.“
"Indeed. Shine it every night.“
"We're gonna get along just fine."

12. Now this is more like it! "You like my coat too?? My style must be better
than I thought.“
"It's very cutting edge. I like it.“
"...You're not gonna follow me inside are you?“
".........Maybe."

13. "Hey, back off! That's my Chin Buddy. And I. Don't. Share.“
"Well settle down now. While there's always enough of me to satisfy at
least two… I'm not sure I swing that way.“
"Yeah, you heard him! Back off Benjamin!"

14. "Don't tell me to back off. YOU BACK OFF! I DON'T LIKE BEING TOLD TO
BACK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“
This guy is going crazy! I feel like I should step in but bein' I don't know
anybody here.. I'll just stand guard. Although I'd never condone a man
hit a lady. Mama raised me different.

15. "Don't touch me chump! I don't like being touched!“
Well! I like a lady who can hold her own. This little shindig may be better
than I thought.

16. "You... You pushed me... This girl is crazy. I've never experienced
such a thing before.“
"That's right Bucko. That should teach you."

17. " *hate* “
"So meeting new people is always fun, huh?"

18. "But it may get a little wacky sometimes. Some of the claws come out.“
"Oh yeah. But I don't mind showing the claws sometimes.“
"Now you know-"

19. "What the-? Is that rain?“
Yes. You were about to be dirty.
"I was just gonna say you know I know some good ways to maintain your
claws.“
Oh really?
"Yeah. I've found back scratches to be particularly healthy for the
cuticles!"

20. After all that drama, I just sent those crazy people on
their way. This neighborhood is a lot to take in so far. I'll
just clean up and jot this stuff down I guess.

21. Met this chick today. Brandy. Oh the things I could do
with her. She don't mind taking out her claws... I don't
mind taming an angry kitty... Sounds like a good time to
me. But she's not wife material. Wouldn't take her
home to Mama. I would take her home though. Oh
yeah. Definitely.

22. But anyway. I want one of them chess tables. Brush up
on my skills. Can't be a CowboyBawse without quick
wit. Ah well. One day, once I get more cash in my
denims. Til then, I'll work on gettin' me a lady.
~Sundown

23. Oh yeah.. And a job.

24. "This ain't what I had in mind.“
Yeah I bet. Your mind seldom wanders from women.
"Hey-... You're right. So it just don't seem fittin' that a guy like
me goes to work with a bunch of stuck up men.“
Yeah yeah yeah. Just go do it.
"Awwwwwwww."

25. "And this car!“
What's wrong with it?
"Well. It ain't a stallion. For one. And for two. I can't even see
the driver's face.“
Don't need to. It's a man.
"Oh it's gonna be a long night."

26. That wasn't so bad! You got a promotion!
"I'm looking for a new job. Right now.“
Then you're heading downtown! Yay!
"No. I'm headin' to bed. I'm more tired than Tom chasing Jerry.“
Ugh fine. 2 hours max.

27. Wake up! I let you sleep later than I meant to.
"Ain't my fault. Ah, my back. That mattress does nothing for me.
And if I'm gonna get a lady, I gotta keep in tip top shape.“
Oh would you just go?! Get another promotion, then we'll get
you a new bed.
"Queen size, if it pleases. Serves two... or moooore."

28. "No shoes no service!“
"Well ma'am, I ain't wearing a shirt either but I don't see you or
anyone else complaining about that.“
"Well...“
"That's what I thought."

29. This place is UnBawse. The only blondes are purple
and jailbait.

30. Aww look at them on their first date. The kid is shaking
in his boots! Reckon he never took a lady out before.
Settle down pup, the more nervous you are the less
action you get!

31. "They let you in? I thought the rule was no shoes no service.“
"And I thought sweaters were for suckers.“
"..My mom made this sweater.“
"And my Mama made me rinse my mouth with soap when I cursed. They
both did some imperfect things in their old age."

32. "I really like shoes. They're like... Cute.“
"What?? This is a quality restaurant!"
"Yeah? You like shoes? Huh, you strike me as more of a purses type lass.“
"No! You can't have a number two! Are you mad?! This isn't a drive
thru!!"
"Nope. Love Shoes. Especially purple."

33. "Purple's your favorite color?“
"Sir! You called FM! Not BurgerSim! FM doesn't even sound like a drive
thru!"
"Hehe what gave it away?“
"No I will not check to see if we have a number 2!!!"
"Call it a hunch."

34. *slam*"The nerve of some people!"
"I'd ask your favorite color but I'm afraid you haven't given me much to go
by.“
"Haha, I'm more a “flesh tone” kinda guy.“
"Oh, I could tell.“
"What gave it away?“
"Call it a hunch."

35. "Hmm... Would it help if you got undressed too?“
"Ugh. I'm afraid not.“
I can take hints. If not blatant body language. She wasn't digging me. So I
took my pride and bid her adieu. There are other ladies in this place that'll
find my nudeness endearing.

36. Like.. How about..Wow.... Look at that face! I could show her
some uses for those lips but other than that..

37. "Yes taxi. I'd rather go home. You said this place was teeming with
women. Yeah well they ain't right. I could've stayed asleep.“
"Yes sir, sorry sir. We'll be there in 5.“
"Thanks.. Good for nothin's. Got me showing the goods for nothing."

38. So I send him home to study. In case the shower breaks.
"Heh heh, learnin about screws. From a pretty little number. 'Nuff said. I
won't even touch that one. Too easy."

39. "Well this ain't too bad. Catching these little light critters. At least I don't
have to buy a lamp.“
That's if you catch any.
"Now listen here, I'm a master at catching stuff.“
Heh heh. Wanna think about that one Adam?
"....Aw now that ain't what I meant. I'm clean as a whistle."

40. See, tried to tell ya I could catch.. bugs. Bugs. And only bugs.
Maybe a pig or two but I haven't seen none since I was a kid.
Argh. I wouldn't have ta spend my time catching bugs if there
was a lady around.

41. Bills?? I ain't been here a whole week! This better be cheap or
I'll roll up there and give somebody a piece of my mind. But,
guess it's good practice for being the man of the house.

42. "Hi is this... Adam?“
"Yes ma'am, who's this?“
"I'm Tara... I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me and a bunch
of friends?“
"Sure but... How'd you get my number? You know magic?“
"Haha let's just say I have some little fairies around.“
“Nice. I'll meet you guys at Decker's?“
"Sounds good.. Don't keep us waiting.“
"Yes ma'am."

43. I got the warning message. I hate that. They warn me to hurry and
the taxi just got there. And he didn't meet Tara anywhere, didn’t
have her in his contact list AT ALL. She's just some random who called
and invited Adam out on an outing. I almost said no. Like who are
you Random Stalker Townie? But in the end I decided what the heck?

44. The girl who called has a lot of friends. Looked like college kids
but I'm not complaining. If they thought I was young enough
for college I won't correct em. I'd rather look young than old.
Speaking of the girl, I think judging from her voice she was the
gorgeous blonde in the hat. Oh yeah, this night just might go
right.

45. Her. That's Tara. She looks like a book worm but I tell ya the
girl as a tongue as sharp as a snake. Says it's the Latina in
her coming out. It always gave her a bit of trouble when she
was a kid. I've taken a bit of a fancy to her so far, but let's
see how this works out.

46. "Hey Tara, see I didn't keep you guys waiting for long.“
"Indeed haha, but you moved so fast you forgot to put on some clothes.“
"Yeah, forgot. But I reckon I won't hear any complaints.“
"Well, your abs could use a little work but otherwise, go right ahead.“
"A little work? Now ma'am, jealousy doesn't suit a face as pretty as
yours.“
"Hahaha. Vaquero, I could never be jealous of someone with no abs.

47. I figured I'd try my hand at the card table. I never played
before but bein' a cowboy, I got a pretty good poker face.

48. Look at that. Who could deny such a face? Bet nobody could
guess I don't have a darn thing in my hand. But they'd always
know I'm a handsome devil if there ever was one. Look at those
sideburns..

49. "I'll have a Poured drink please." I'm not sure why there was a kid invited
along but.. Well. He's gotta learn one day I suppose.
"My mom says you shouldn't drink. It's bad for you.“
"Well my mama said drink and be merry. If you don't mind, I'd like to
continue obeying my mom."

50. “That’s good.. Coffee.”
And obey her I did. I got a little liquid fire in my system and
that's all it took. I knew right then, that I'd be inviting Tara
home. Now whether it worked was outta my hands. But my
sassy little Latina was gonna get the chance to see a stallion in
his natural habitat.

51. There she is... Alright Cowboy, it's now or never.

52. Or maybe it's now or later. I wanted to try out a new trick...
No you just chickened out.
I didn't chicken out. I just.. Fine. I'll go ask. I'm a Cowboy. Not a sniveling
little baby. Dammit I'm Sundown Devereaux! I've tamed plenty a lass
before. This one's no different...

53. "Haha yeah, he's my best friend's son. She couldn't get a baby sitter so she
just brought him along. I don't think she knew you'd pick a bar.“
"Had I known there was a pup coming I wouldn't have. But oh well. Gotta
grow up sometime.“
"Agreed, he's a good kid. He'll be fine.“
"Yeah.. So Tara I was thinking...“
“Sί?“
"...Um I was thinking I should go play cards.. Ya know, win some more money.“
"Oh.. Ok.."

54. HEY! If you don't go and invite them home I swear I'll never let you
have a woohoo.
Well that's not fair. I'm winning money for the Legacy!
You're being a baby.
Alright alright, I'm going.

55. "What do you say you guys come back to my place? Playing cards is
getting boring.“
"Hmm... Will there be food?“
"If you want it. I'll cater to you... and your friends tonight.“
"Hehe I think we'd like that."

56. "But being a Cancer, I'm a little nervous..“
"Ah love, don't be. You guys don't have to if you don't want.“
"Well I do. We do.“
"Then do. I won't force you to do anything.“
"Hm.. Are we still talking about coming over?“
"Heh, if you think we are."

57. So. Here's what amazingly happened. The pup's family said it
was really late and they had to go home. Two people left at
the bar before I invited them over. And magically, I lie to you
not, only Tara was left at my place. I had no part in it, but I
couldn't believe my luck!!

58. So I took a really. REALLY. Quick shower so I could be prepared
to entertain my guest. Figure I'd handle it like a date. Get
cleaned up. Cook a meal, and just hang out.

59. "Wow, you cook?“
"Eh, I make enough to get by. I'm mainly a mac and cheese chef but I
figure tonight was a little different.“
"Well it's really good. Most guys I know can't cook.“
"Well love, I'm definitely not most guys."

60. "Indeed. So, do you like to travel? I always wanted to go back to
Columbia one day. See my family."

61. "Absolutely not. I'm a pure cowboy through and through. If my feet
aren't on the ground I'm not happy. Planes are metal death
contraptions.“
"Oh please Vaquero, don't be such a baby.“
"Dang, and I was looking forward to feeding time.“
"Haha cute."

62. "So, why'd your family move from Columbia?“
"My dad figured Veridian was a good place to make a new start. He was
always so bored there.“
"Yeah, I know what he means. That's why I wanted to be in a Legacy.“
"What's that?“
"Basically, it's getting married, having kids, and having generations under
you.“
"Ooo my dad would've loved that. It's exactly the kinda thing he was into. Say
I'm a little cold, mind if we move inside?“
"Oh no, not at all. Anything for the lady."

63. "Hahaha, you have a teenager's bed.“
"Well now, it's not that bad.“
"I bet your toes stick out off the edge!“
"I'm gonna get a new one haha, quit laughin'!“
"I'm sorry, it's just so funny how small that bed is!"

64. "Well I plan on getting a queen size. How about you help me break it in?
I bet you won't be laughing then.“
"Oh, I won't?“
"No ma’am. You won't have much breath to do much anything except
thank me.“
"Hehe we'll see. Gosh I'm still really cold."

65. "Here how about I warm you up? I much prefer body heat to anything
else. I've found it to be much more effective.“
"And how many studies have you conducted?“
"Enough to be a credible source haha."

66. "You know.... I've got this funny feeling.“
"Like an Armageddon feeling??“
"Haha no ma'am. Kinda like.. It's a... Well..."

67. "I'd like to kiss you.“
"I wouldn't mind kissing you too Vaquero.“
And we did.. And it was awesome.. She tasted like spaghetti.. and
Bawseness. I really like this girl.

68. I may even have a little teenage crush on her. Haven't felt this
way in a while. I mean, that's not to say I haven't seen women
I fancy taking home. Of course I have. But.. When I take Tara
home, I want her to stay here.

69. So I turned it up a notch. Cowboys make excellent massage
givers. I'd much prefer we'd been naked when I did this, but I
told her I wouldn't force her to do anything. And I'm pretty
sure she's not ready for.. What I have in mind. So I'll take it
slooow. Ugh it's killing me though.

70. "Would you like to go on a date with me sometimes?“
"This doesn't count as one? I mean, we're here all alone, you made me
dinner, and we kissed. If this isn't a date I'm intrigued to see what is.“
"Haha I'll show you when I get a bigger bed."

71. "Let me tell you a little secret...“
"Yeah what is it?“
"You're the most beautiful women I've ever seen.“
To say Tara blushed at that would be a HUGE understatement. I mean
the girl was as red as... Well as my walls.

72. Huh, it really must be cold for little penguins to be around. I
guess Tara made my blood so hot I barely noticed. Speaking of
which...

73. "It's getting really late Vaquero, I should get going.“
"Aww do you have to?“
"Well, I have work tomorrow. And you don't exactly have enough room on
your bed.“
"There you go, taking shots at my bed again. I'm telling you, once I get a
new one, you're gonna be eating your words.“
"Mhm mhm. Sure. But I'm gonna head out."

74. "Well before you leave. Just one more kiss.“
…
"I'll call you tomorrow Tara. Maybe for another date?“
"I'd like that a lot..“
"Good, well good night.“
"Good night, Adam."

75. "Well before I go.. I AM FILTHY!! Sheeesh, I'm surprised Adam
didn't notice. Hehehe look at him in his little bed.. He's so cute."

76. I had some good dreams that night.. About me. How this
Legacy would turn out. If I'd ever get a job in the right field so
I can get away from them army buffs. When my house would
get bigger.

77. And about Tara.. I'm falling for that girl and I know it.. I want
to get to know her.. Maybe marry her. Have cute little Spanish
Cowboy babies.. A life with her would be smooth.. And I’m
gonna make it happen..

78. And that's where we'll end!!! This is from Adam's very first day, I swear I
had no idea they'd do this. But I was dying when they did, Benny really
hated Brandy. From the start! What a welcome wagon. AND Adam and
Tara are four bolters. FOUR!! Look who lucked out!
NEXT TIME: Marriage, babies, and more dirty cars! See ya!
