Chapter 3 - Romance in the air?

'Bah, rain. What am I going to do today?' Laura thought to herself while gazing out of her window, watching the rain hit against the ground and window pane.

 "I should really invest in some curtains, after I replace that toilet," she told herself, quickly moving away form the window before someone saw her in her underwear. after pottering around the house for a while, Laura finally decided to do something and made her way to the very wet park to try her luck at singing for more tips. This time was a bit more successful for her, gaining the interest of two people!

Feeling very soggy after a couple of hours, Laura soon realised she was running behind on the Sing-A-Gram orders that had come through, starting with someone from the Fire station, where she also found a foosball table. Having only ever seen them on the TV before, she dived in, the wonder and enjoyment showing on her face quite clearly.

When no more calls came in, Laura went to the store to see if she could buy the cheapest toilet that was available, soon making a new friend and gossiping about the passers-by in the store.

Their parting words were that there was a show going on at Flying V's coffee house that Laura should check out and see the competition she was up against, causing her to rush out of the shop and go and see what it was like. She was thankful that it was just an Acrobat, but Laura sat down to watch anyway, to see if she could grab some of the patrons afterwards for tips. 

She was very popular that night, gaining almost 300 in tips, enough to get that toilet and some new curtains. Laura was pleased, pleased enough the the adrenalin kept her up all night and most of the next day, which started off the same as the day before, more Sing-A-Grams and trying to earn tips to continue with decorating her house.

When she changed into her work clothes, she was glad to see a new coloured outfit. As much as she loved the red and black outfit, the dark green made her feel more at home. Having only one Sing-A-Gram to do, Laura made the choice to go back to the coffee house to see if she could get more people interested in her, and her music. It worked like a charm, even managing to make someone crush on her! 

Feeling bold, Laura moved in for the kill, which she thought went really well.

 Since by now, she had been awake for around 27 hours, Laura tried to return home, only to be stopped by another bloke giving her flowers!

She accepted them nicely, and returned back to her house, falling into bed practically right away and dreaming of what she would do with the house.

On Laura's journey, I saw some of Maxis/EA's outfit mishaps... on a pregnant woman no less!

Sorry hun, but those underwear with those tights and shoes? Someone needs a new stylist!
