Clover: Chess in a haunted park…I can’t say I’ve ever been on a date quite like this before.

Ember: I don’t want you to think I’m boring.

Clover: I’ve never thought you were boring, Ember. Not even once.

Ember: [grinning] Good to know.

Clover: So… is this park actually haunted?

Ember: Who knows? But it does have a nice spooky vibe to it.

…but Clover wasn’t having it this time. She had a whim, and she was going to go for it.

Clover: Would you knock it off, already?

Lubomir: Whatever could you mean?

Clover: This whole… taking off every time we have a chance to be alone together. It’s making me crazy!

Lubomir: I had no idea I was bothering you, mon chou. 

Clover: Well maybe I need to make things more clear.

[Clover kisses him]

Clover: I like you, Lubomir. 

Clover: You know…I’m honestly surprised we didn’t meet earlier considering we work in the same industry.

Lubomir: The world is a big place, ma petite tête de chou, and our business is always bustling. 

Clover: Hmm… I suppose. It would be pretty nice to work together sometime. Maybe you can model for my next line…?

Lubomir: That would depend on how this goes, wouldn’t it? I don’t think I could work with you after being rejected.

Clover: Hmm… you’re not exactly making it easy for us to get close, are you?

Lubomir: I’m afraid I do not know what it is you are referring to, love. 

Clover: …of course not.

He left right after they finished eating…

Single Date #3 – Lucas

Clover: Believe it or not, I’m actually a half decent bartender. I used to pick up extra shifts at The Jolly Rancher on weekends while I was in Uni. Name anything you want, I’m sure I can make it!

Lucas: It’s barely 10 o’clock! Isn’t it a little early to be drinking?

Clover: Oh honey. With the kind of fat cats you deal with working in the fashion industry, you learn to drink at any time.

Lucas: Your job sounds stressful. Maybe I could help you loosen up a bit?

Now you would think, what else could possibly go wrong? This night is a disaster? The producer decided to send the two home

Clover: You know, I’m sorry for how this turned out. Want to try again?

They snuggled on the couch and Fox made a successful move and with that, the “date” was over… 

…but Fox could sense he was in trouble so he followed her to her room. Totally not creepy at all Fox. 

Clover: Fox, you’re not supposed to be in here.

Fox: I know, but I couldn’t leave things how they were. Just one more thing and I will leave.

Then he kissed her goodnight.

And that, ladies and gentleman, is how Fox went from being the top contender for Clover’s heart to barely making it through eliminations by two relationship points…

Single Date #2 – Fox

Ladies and Gentleman, step right up! You are about to witness the most rollercoaster of a date I have ever experienced in the sims. These photos do not even do it justice… not in the slightest. IT WAS A NIGHT. Here is how it went down.

It also started with Fox rejecting Clover’s asking for a date not once, not twice, but three times. Clover, being a girl who does not give up easily, figured okay? Not a date then. We’ll just go hang out. So the two of them decided to head over to The Gumdrop. 

A friendly outing at the local arcade–what could possibly go wrong? 

*insert awkward laughter here*

They arrive at The Gumdrop and Fox takes right to the machine. Clover was not impressed with his abilities and decided to let him know as she “playfully” mocked his video game abilities. 

Clover: A Llama could play that game better than you!

Now Fox did what any other full grown, mature ass adult would do and… mocked her mother.

Fox: Well, you would know, since your mother is a llama.

Clover: How dare you!

They argued for a minute but both decided it was time to stop.

Fox: There is a bubble blower here, and we need to chill. Why not sit and relaxed?

And they both got dazed off their rockers…

(To be continued…)

Single Date #1 – Granite

Granite: How are you so good at foosball?

Clover: I grew up in a house of all boys. It became amazing out of necessity.

Granite: …Foosball is a necessity?

Clover: Heck yeah it is. I could get Bonsai to do anything if I beat him at foosball… or darts… or just about anything. Man, I made him do a lot of really weird stuff… like one time bet him if I could beat him at street hockey, he would have to eat a whole potato raw.

Granite: You sound like you were an interesting sister to have…

Clover: You could say our house was far from dull.

They ended off the night telling stories more stories about their childhood and knocking back a few drinks.

Clover: Hey… Vivid, can we talk?

Vivid: What’s up, Clove? You look like you’re about to… oh. Isn’t there supposed to be a whole ceremony for this?

Clover: Well… yeah, but after all of the everyone leaving, and jealousy… and two fights that happened behind scenes last time that producer kind of decided the whole rose ceremony spectacle was more trouble than it’s worth. 

Vivid: I can’t say I blame her. It was pretty wild last time…

Clover: Plus… it’s kind of like a breakup? It feels in poor taste to do it in front of everyone.

Vivid: So this is the end of the line?

Clover: Yeah… I’m sorry, Vivid. It was nice getting to know you.

Vivid: You too, Clover. I hope you’re happy with whoever you choose.

Clover: [weak smile]  Thanks. I’m sure you’ll find someone great someday.

Vivid: I sure hope so. 

Clover: You know for being called speed dates, I feel like these take forever. I’m sorry that it’s getting so late already.

Ember: I don’t mind waiting. I kind of snuck in some time earlier.

Clover: Hmm. that’s true. I guess it is like we already had one.

Ember: I guess that means I should just cut to the chase then?
