Round 1--Ursine 1: He's Just Not That Into You

Author’s Note: EA recently released the new store neighborhood, Lunar Lakes. When EA comes out with a new hood it makes me nostalgic for my Mega Maxis blog. This draft has been sitting on my hard drive for several weeks now, so I thought I’d blow off the dust and finish it up. I started writing this not long after the 1.29 patch came out, so I know the fixed babies is old news. Anyway, here it is….
***

Me: Hey, Claire! Wow, it's true. EA really did fix the baby heads. Tracey looks adorable.

Claire: Um, who is Tracey? My daughter's name is Emily.

Me: Oh, you're right, my bad. I confused her with someone else.

Claire: I am just about to put her down for her nap. One of the neighborhood teens is going to watch her while I go work out at the gym.

Me: Trying to lose the baby weight?

Claire: Yes, and I've been noticing this really cute guy at the gym lately. I think he might be interested in me.

Me: Careful, Claire. You don't want to repeat the mistake you made with Jared.

Claire: I won't. Things moved way too fast with Jared. I'm going to take it slow.

Claire: *excitedly* He's here! He's the one in the long blue pants on the weights machine.

Me: You mean, Dave Ramsey? My, you have a thing for the redheads, don't you?

Claire: Well, I am one myself, aren't I?

Me: True.

Claire: Hey, Dave. That was a great game last night. Congrats on scoring the winning point.

Dave:  Thanks, I am pretty stoked about it.

Claire:  I haven't missed a single game on tv this season
.

Dave: Aw, television doesn't really do the game justice. You've got to come down to the stadium and watch the next one.

Claire: I would love to, but I have a baby girl at home.

Dave: You should bring her to the game.

Claire: I think a crying baby might annoy your other fans.

Dave: Not a problem. I can get you a seat in one of the VIP sky boxes. It'll just be you and the baby.

Claire: Wow! You'd do that for me?

Dave: Anything for a fan.

Claire: Wow, Dave, that is so generous of you. You have to let me make it up to you. How about I make you dinner?

Dave: Um-

Claire: Oh, silly me. Your wife or girlfriend must be waiting for you at home.

Dave: No, it's not that. I just don't want you to go out of your way, that's all.

Claire: I'm not going out of my way.  I have to eat anyway, right?

Dave: I guess you're right.

Me: Claire...

Claire: Is the salad ok?

Dave: Yes, it's fine.

Claire: Well, eat up. You don't want to miss dessert.

Dave: Um, dessert?

Claire: Yes, birthday cake. For my daughter.

Me: Happy birthday, Tra--er--Emily!

 Claire: Gee, Dave, I didn't realize it was so late. I can't in good conscience let you drive back home tonight. Why don't you stay over?

Me: Claire, you invited him to your house for your daughter's birthday, and you asked him to stay the night. I thought you were going to take it slow!

Claire: I was, but I just can't help myself. He's so cute, and he's a professional athlete which means he's in good shape and will probably make a lot of money. Where is he anyway?

Me: He decided to sleep in the guest room.

Claire: Wow, he's such a gentleman.

Me: He's either or a gentleman or...

Claire: Or what?

Me: Or he's just not that into you. Try to calm down. I don't want to see you get hurt again. I'll see you next round.


SP UPDATES:

Fiona is moving on, but I would have sworn Eugene was already dating someone.

*Yawn*

Wait! Did Katrina and Pablo break up?

The only people Pablo can stay committed to are his fellow gigolos.

Chuck is the guy that Jennifer went out with. I guess she can definitely cross him off her list now. Chuck is married with a child.

Sweet… Mortimer has a baby sister!

Marriage #2 for Tamara. Where in the world did Floyd come from?

I hope this one sticks for Stiles.

Better luck next time, Stiles.
