Remember how I said to keep Mikey's daily responsibility in mind for this? Here he is thinking about using it as ammunition to keep Gee from lecturing him. Or the fact that he eats his vegetables, but either way he's already thinking of excuses to get him out of the impending doom.
Gee: *unintelligible roaring*
Mikey: Chill, dude! I'm working on getting an A in school!
Gee: Why haven't you already?!
Mikey: *incredulous eyebrow shoots into hairline*
And what little they had of a relationship is diminished...
Seriously, though, their relationship bar now looks like they never met.
The next morning, after a night of no sleep, Mikey angrily does his homework. He's been working on that A for quite a bit but just recently got a wish to Earn an A in School.
There's been some additions to Gee's garden because of an opportunity. Someone wants some really good apples. I think the specification was Excellent or something. He eventually got them like the day before the opportunity expired. Extra funds! But that's not until a few days from now.
By the way, I forgot to tell you Gee got a promotion! He is now a Toddler Sports Coach.
So besides earning an A, Mikey's thrown a wish to finish a book and two wishes about Keisha. Oh boy. One wish was to become her best friend, which I think he's had since his housewarming party. The other was after I ignored that wish for a while: he decided he'd had enough and wished to hang out with Keisha. So I figured what the heck, let's kill 3 birds with one stone. Spoiler alert: he doesn't get to read.
Once she gets there, she immediately jumps on Mikey about her refined tastes.
Mikey's face says it all.
Mikey: Ehh... I'm more of a Veggie Burger guy. Ya know, 'cause veg--
Keisha: *contemplates all the other places she could be right now*
Mikey expounds upon all the wonders of his favourite dish, but when it's her turn to talk Keisha goes right back to outlining just what she expects.
I think she broke Mikey.
In the middle of her talking, he gives me this look.
Mikey: *slowly dies inside*
They just stand there awkwardly for the rest of the outing, even though it's nearing curfew and Mikey's fighting exhaustion. She looks please about that. C'mon, Mikey, she's not gonna make the effort to become your good friend. You gotta go for it.
When he finally ends the group outing to go home she grins the biggest Sim-grin I've ever seen. Poor guy.
Across town, hot coworker of Gee's has asked him out after work. ...To the police station. Ooh! Let's see how this goes. (I usually accept date calls unless Sims are already married. I figure since it doesn't always count as a real date it's a good way to network and sometimes explore options.)
Said hot coworker is Vicky Schofield and she is a creeper. But then again, that's not rare in this game. Vicky fits right in.
Vicky tries to flirt. Good reaction, Gee! Aw, he's loyal!
Then out of nowhere Gee decides he's attracted to Lydia Pearl. Who is....across town and....despite being at Cherry's house he's never met her roommates. Weird. So much for loyalty.
Every time he turns his back to her she creeps on him. We'll have to watch out for this one.
Uh-oh. Now he's reconsidering. Gee, now is the not the time to notice how attractive she is. I mean, yeah, she's attractive but remember how flirting went?
Luckily he gets knocked out by a wayward Plumbob (oops) and she abandons him.
But she at least stops to react. Hmm... Does the hair and reaction give you any flashbacks?
Later that night, more excitement happens! Hey, it's our first burglar! Ooh, I wonder what she's gonna take! (I'm terrible.)
Looks like she's just here to rob their fridge. ;D
When I first took this picture I wasn't sure what she took. At all. You'll see later what it was.
Imma just let these next pictures speak for themselves:
^This one's my favourite.
She just passively watches Gee call the police, then...
Gee finally notices her.
Gee: NOT MY LIGHT!!!
In the other room....
Officer Reggie: Sheesh. Could y'all at least pick up before getting robbed? Some people...
Just like she passively watched Gee call the police, Gee passively watches Tammy get her butt handed to her.
Must
Be
DRAMATIC!
Even though he's not even looking at the fight. Good ole Mikey.
Officer Reggie: So... same time next week, Tammy?
Tammy: *snaps jaw back into place, spits out tooth, coughs up blood* Sure!
Tammy: *whistles*
I envision these two are probably best buds. Wish I could write a Tammy & Officer Reggie sitcom. Can't think of a clever name right now so I'll get back to you on that.
I leave you with what Tammy stole: lights. Three lights.
