Generation 3: Part 7. Maneater

I feel like this town is the only place in the world where the sun always shines. I love it.

Whatever.

No, really! Every day when I wake up the sun is there to greet me. It is so beautiful here.

Will she ever stop talking…?

You can stop acting now, really! Everybody knows you’re the new girl and just are trying to make friends. Let me tell you – I won’t be one of them! I don’t like girly-girls and I would kill myself if I ever became like that!

Jeez, what’s her deal?! I am just trying to be nice and talk about the town I started a new life in for the second time and she is just as much a bitch as she was in my second life. Maybe she does remember that I've been here before...

You see, this place is just great (same pep talk as before, new person). The sun always shines and there are trees and lakes everywhere! Isn’t that just awesome? It could make you want to stay here forever.

That’s exactly what I keep saying. I am so glad I moved here when I was a little younger – this is the place where you would want to spend the rest of your life in. The people are great, too. Most of them. There are some you wouldn’t want to meet at night in the dark though.

(Thinks: )Why didn’t I recognize you in my last life? You are awesome! You love the nature and you’re a really good person, just like me.

(Thinks: ) Oh, crap. Married. I just keep standing here, smiling nicely and stop myself from trying to kill that woman for giving him flowers in front of me.

Must. Lose. Weight. Must. Look. Pretty. No matter how much it hurts. On second thought….ouch!

(Thinks: )Huh, that guy is nice, too. He has a sweet smile. Where did all the cute guys come from now?

Oh, hey. You are new around here, right? I’ve never seen you around before.

Yes, that’s right, I just moved here with my three dogs, one cat and one horse.

So you are an animal person then?! I like that. Animals are the best friends you could possibly have. You must be a very lucky person.

You probably only eat vegetables, huh? To keep your body like that?

No, actually I eat whatever is in the house. I’m not that much of a gourmet…

Later, at home:

You really impressed me with what you were saying. Seriously. What did you say your sign was? Just being curious to see if I’m right…

I’m a [insert sign here]. I’m sorry, did you just say “Score!” ?

What, me? No. I just said…I didn’t say anything. That’s funny, I thought you could be [insert sign again], they are really friendly people. And match my sign, which is [insert her sign here], isn’t that funny? No idea why I remembered that…

A little later, after Felipe (that’s the guy) fed Dominica and cuddled with the dogs

My pets like you…that must be a good sign.

You think? Well, I really hope so, because I want you to like me, too. You are really beautiful and although I have just met you I feel like I’ve known you for ages.

I know, me too. But I can assure you that I’ve not met you before in my last life.

Your last life? What are you talking about? You really are a mystical woman, I like that.

Her first kiss, her first kiss! And she’s having it with this gorgeous man.

You are special. But I don’t want to rush things. You know, that woman who gave me flowers earlier…

Your wife, right? So what is going to happen now, am I just an affair for you?

No, absolutely not. See, the thing is… she is pregnant with my child. And I have to figure out what to do. Right now I can’t leave her. But I don’t want to lose you either. Give me some days to think about it, please.

That’s alright, we will wait. Take your time.But not too much, the biological clock is ticking! We have a legacy to carry on.

Here, take these flowers. They shall remember you of my affection.

This is not what it looks like.

Hi, nice to meet you. So is she outside?
Yes, she is waiting in the car. I really hope you will be nice to her, she had a rough childhood.

I will, believe me.

Welcome to the family, Maunzi! (They suggested that name and I loved it. It’s like naming the cat after the sound it makes) One step closer to fulfilling Emma's lifetime wish…

And one step further away at the same time? No, Grim Reaper, you can’t take Kati! She is still so young and should be able to live her life a little longer! I know she is an old dog, but that doesn’t mean anything – her father is much older and still alive! NO that doesn’t mean you should take him straight away as well.

I will just wait until she returns from the stables. Hey, look, there’s a book in my pocket. Neat.

While Emma cries and cries and cries, he just keeps on reading. Then she has an idea.

Hey there,haven’t seen you for a while! It must have been six hours at least…

Bello: Uh, a horse! I like!

That’s right! Welcome, Buffy! He is a senior horse and Emma’s last step to fulfilling her lifetime wish!  And this means: She is done! She made it! I made it!

The next day Emma walks over to Felipe’s house to talk to him about what had happened. I know, we had promised to give him some time, but 24 hours better be enough for deciding.

Honey… I have to ask you something. Have you decided?

There’s my husband! I like him!

Yes, I have made up my mind. I will leave Kim.

Bitch.

This needed to be celebrated… and for the record: Emma wanted to. I wasn't too anxious about it, of course.

*walks through the kitchen funnily* I slept with the most gorgeous man in Appaloosa Plains, lalala. Oh, um, sorry. That was a bit mean, wasn’t it? Um…. Those spagetti look awesome! Do you cook often?

Bitch. I won’t talk to you.

Look, I am really sorry about what happened, but I just fell for him. Please don’t hate me.

I will look out of the window until she leaves. I am not talking to her.

Emma, I think you should go home now.

Author's notes: Lifetime wish done, phew! I was going crazy with all those little animals, I swear! And the Grim Reaper coming and taking Kati before her father just really sucked - in the attempts I made earlier, when the game crashed every five minutes, Bello always dies. Well, right now he is about 40 days over his lifespan and still alive. Unbelievable.
This is the time when I put Emma in a new game, still living in Appaloosa Plains. Those "previous life" sentences were supposed to indicate that.... Everybody is about 30 days younger than before and she had to start all over again, but at least the game is working again.

And Emma has her first love interest!! At first I was really happy because Felipe is just gorgeous and I hoped for cute babies. Then I saw Kim giving him flowers and discovered that they had the same last name (Marshall). But Emma kept wishing to be with him, so what was I supposed to do?! Anyway, now would be the time to announce the heir, but there is not an heir yet... But as she wanted to woohoo with him several times, you all can imagine what happened shortly after... and no, I am not telling. ;)

Oh, and that evening when Felipe gave Emma flowers? He didn't stop doing that until she had eight bouquets of flowers in her invisible pocket. Eight!

Outtakes:

 This happens when you don't feed your bird. Not kidding.

Can you say: awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww?!

And again! The two cats really like each other.

She can't see me, I am practically invisible!

Aren't his pajamas just the cutest thing ever?!
