Day 1
My Birthday! HECK YES! NO MORE SCHOOL! WOOOOOOO!
I find a party noise maker. It magically appears out of my bum.
I celebrate my Birthday with new to me clothes and a new hair style. I do my chores. That's not really a celebration..but it has to be done.
I eat my leftover pancakes and make plans for the future. I decide I don't want to wait to try to find a husband or start a family. I want the things I've never had before.
I talk Father into switching rooms with me, since I'll need the space. I buy us both new beds and new wallpaper for each room. It puts the bank account at $4,523 once I'm done.
Deanie loves my new bed. After his nap he brings me a lizard, which I sell for $88. And I get a message that produce has sold. Bank is back up to $4,655.
I cook some Mac N Cheese before going to a party at the Fox's.
Father pees himself on the Fox's back deck.
Come at me boys.
I eat burnt hot dogs grilled by Cheyenne Fox and try not to stare at her husband, Shawnee. Too bad he's married with two kids. Darn it! But I am not a home wrecker.
Day 2
Fiiiiiire! Not the song!
(He kept doing this on his own LOL)
I walk into the house to find it on fire! Father walks in before me and somehow magically finds a fire extinguisher. I try to get him to stop putting it out, due to his health, but he keeps trying.
I get out my cell and make a frantic call to the firefighters, hoping they don't stop for ice cream first.
I take the fire extinguisher from Father and try to put out the flames myself without much luck. I'm so thankful I saw Deanie hunting outside and he's safe.
The fire department arrives! All one of them! But she puts out the fire. Thank goodness.
I thank her and realize now I'll have to clean this all up. Siiiiiiiigh. Insurance gives us $777 to replace our items, but it's going to cost way more than that. Deanie's food thing costs $600 just by itself.
I throw on some clothes and start cleaning things up while Father goes to bed. I am grateful the fire didn't ruin my plants. I toss out the table and chairs, not even bothering to replace them.
I spend hours mopping the floor. Takes me until 6 am. I take a short nap on the sofa.
I graduate on little sleep. But I am voted class Valedictorian and Most Likely to Have a Big Family.
I come home and water my plants, I don't feel like weeding them or harvesting them yet.
I go upstairs and find the bathroom sink broken. I give up on this day (for now) and go to bed for a few hours.
When I get up Deanie gives me a snake, such a sweet boy. I sell it for $321. Then I replace our stove, buy different counters and a different sink. I also buy a fire alarm. Right after that I get a notice that some produce has sold. Bank - $3,701. I fix the sink and sit down to eat Mac N Cheese on my sofa. I thought I was done with this, but shows what I know.
I go upstairs and check on Father. He seems to like his new room. He hasn't complained anyway.
Day 3
Maybe the fire has made me brave. Or stupid.
And why are hearts magically appearing in my house?!
I talk to one of the ghosts, the oldest male. I learn his name. Pete. I ask him what happened to him and all I learn is "Blunt Force Trauma". Did some serial killer bash all their brains in? That's a scary thought. Why did I have it?!
I pay the bills. $181. Bank - $3,520. I also find a love letter to Father from the blonde bird sister. Okay...
I'm upset about the fire. I'm not sure how it started, but it's set me back a bit and it bums me out. But I can either brood about it or move forward. I chose to move forward...but not until I get more sleep.
I pass by Father's room and see Pete reading a story to his son. I guess even ghosts love bedtime stories...
I sleep until I feel a presence in my room. I wake up to find Pete taking a nap beside me. Okay...a wee bit creepy...but I need to get up anyway.
I take Father to the elixir store and do something I don't want to do. I harvest honey and beeswax BUT this time I don't get stung. Woohoo!
I cosign 9 eggs, 8 beeswax, 10 honey and 9 pieces of produce.
We go home and I take a nap. When I wake up, Deanie brings me a Pygmy Tortoise. I sell it for $675. think he's trying to cheer me up. Sweet boy. I get a notice that some beeswax has sold, that was quick! But I'm not complaining. The money from the tortoise plus the money from the beeswax brings the bank account to $5,069.
We are invited to another party at the Fox's. I double check the house before we leave. I don't want to come home to another fire.
I meet Quincy Miller at the party, but he's married. So he's not a potential husband.
I eat some hot dogs Shawnee fixes (free food!). More looking but no touching.
I make sure Father eats too. I can't pass up free food.
Day 4
It's Spooky Day! I do my chores and take time out to brush my kitty boy. He gives me a bug he caught. Yup.
I finally buy Father something he's been wanting for a while. A TV. With Winter coming, this will hopefully keep him inside more. The TV is $1,250. Bank - $3,819.
I make some pancakes since there is no meals left in the Fridge. Then we leave to go to a costume party at the Bird Sister's house. Thankfully they provide us with costumes.
More of those weird hearts magically appearing out of thin air. I meet Chuck Hobble at the party.
And Father stabs Chuck with his cane, breaking his arm. Chuck leaves to go to the ER. I meet a single guy and Father stabs him...
......so dang creepy. I leave the room.
While Father is playing Creepy Hot dog, I get a message that some produce has sold. Bank - $3,916.
I "drag" Father away from the party and take the bug Deanie gave me to the Science Center. Turns out it's a Rainbow Beetle. They give me $1,378 for it. Bank - $5,294.
Day 5
I wake up and do my chores. Deanie brings me a squirrel and I sell it for $28. Bank - $5,322.
I get a call from a girl I went to school with. She says she has the perfect guy for me..
"I want to watch TV at home." Father whines. Still wearing that Hot dog costume..
Too bad old man.
I stand there, staring at the house for a moment before going to knock on the door. I'm nervous.
Benjamin Schmidt invites us inside. He doesn't even ask why Father has on the costume. Instead we talk. Benjamin has long been the handyman of Appaloosa Plains and has dated around, but he's ready to settle down.
Father goes and watches TV with Benjamin's dog, Ralston.
We hit it off pretty quickly.
Pretty quickly indeed. Ben is older than me, but I don't care. (She got the wish kiss Benjamin for the first time haha)
I ask Ben if he wants to go steady with me and he says yes! I'm so happy! I'm so happy that words start flying out of my mouth before I realize it...
I ask Ben to marry me with a ring I got out of a dime store machine once. I know it's quick, but I feel so certain about this. Ben says yes! We're engaged!
But it's time for Father and I to go. I have a Wedding to plan and Ben needs time to get ready for the move.
I consign 10 eggs and 12 Produce.
...I'm wondering when he's going to take that blasted thing off. Ugh.
I make Autumn Salad when we get home. The first meal I ever made in this house. Wow.
After dinner Deanie brings me a Yellow Python. I sell it for $311. And get a message that some produce has sold. Bank - $5,823.
Day 6
Chores. As usual. I pay the bills $199. Bank - $5,624. I buy an altar and a table for the Wedding Cake, then buy a table and 3 chairs for the Kitchen. Bank $5,133.
I take Father fishing. And he still has on that stupid costume! The weird voice booms at me that I have reached level 1 of fishing.
Deanie joins us for a bit. He catches a fish and I don't object when he walks off to eat it. He's earned it.
But unlike Deanie, we aren't having any luck here, so I take Father to another fishing spot.
We have better luck here and the voice let's me know I have reached Level 2 of fishing.
We head home and I receive a message that some produce has sold. Bank - $5,272.
Day 7
It's the first day of Winter and my Wedding Day!
"You've worn that thing for four days now. You're putting on a suit for my Wedding." I say, laying down the law. I had put up with it for days, but no way is wearing that stinky hot dog costume at my Wedding!
While Father goes to shower and change, I buy a Wedding Cake for $30. Bank - $5,242.
Doesn't every Bride water her plants in her Wedding Gown? I do most of my chores, careful not to dirty my gown.
The moment arrives. I marry Ben in my basement. It was a real pain getting that arch down there, you know..
But it's worth it! I'm so happy that Ben is my husband and we welcome him and his dog, Ralston to the household! Ben brings with him $2,169 from taxes and he sold his house and everything he owns...why, I don't know. I also get a message that some produce has sold. All together, that brings the bank up to $12,453. I haven't seen that much money since Father sold my childhood home.
I moved the table and chairs downstairs so we could sit and eat cake. Again, pain in the butt to move.
Father eats his cake on the sofa.
Wow Ben is strong and extremely coordinated!
Deanie even has some Wedding Cake.
My favorite kind of guest. Those who clean up after themselves. Thank you Shawnee.
Bow chicka wow wow! Our first time as man and wife. And Ralston is creepin' on the action.
