Last round, Carrie Palmer was distraught to realize that dogs in fact age faster than Sims when Gary became an elder. Not willing to accept that her best friend wouldn't be with her forever, she lucked out when her friend Balcony put her in contact with her cousin Wind. Thanks to Wind's "special" dog treat, Gary was soon back to his youthful self. Meanwhile, twins Mark and Harrison prepared for college and Lucas became an elder.
Hi, Daisy!
Daisy: (achoo) Oh, hi mysterious voice...
Anything exciting going on around here?
Daisy: Oh, you know...just getting ready for Egg Fest...
Allergies and Egg Fest? Yup, must be spring.
Carrie: Well, this is it, boy...
Let me guess...college applications?
Carrie: How did you know?
Call it a hunch.
Carrie: Well, they're in!
Lucas: So? What's the verdict? Where's my little girl off to?
Daisy: Honey, she just submitted the application. We have to wait a few days before she hears back.
Lucas: What? Well, what are we supposed to do until then?
Carrie: Well, Balcony and I were going to take a yoga class down at the spa...you can come if you want.
Lucas: Yoga? I don't think so. At my age if I bend over that far there's no guarantee I'm coming back up.
Daisy: Just go and have fun, honey. We'll be fine here.
Carrie: How can she bend like that?
Balcony: I don't know...I thought you said this was a beginner class?
Carrie: That's what I thought...is there one that comes before beginner?
Carrie: Oops...sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you like that...
Leia: That's ok. It's so steamy in here I'm surprised anyone can see anything...hey, wait. I know you...you're Crayola's friend Carrie, right? I remember you from her birthday party.
Carrie: Yeah...
Leia: I'm her aunt, Leia.
Crayola: Hey, guys! How was yoga?
Carrie: Fine, I guess...oh, I bumped into your aunt.
Crayola: She didn't try to set you up with my cousin, did she?
Balcony: Which one? You've got like, a million cousins.
Crayola: My cousin Finn...I swear, ever since Rey and Padme both got married she's become like his personal matchmaker...actually, now that I think about it, you two might actually get along.
Balcony: Now who's playing matchmaker?
Crayola: No, I'm serious. I can bring him by your birthday party if you want...you know, test the waters?
Carrie: I guess...I mean, what's the worst that could happen, right?
Speaking of testing things...looks like Carrie passed the college application with flying colors.
Which means it's birthday time!
Carrie: Mom, we really don't need to make this much.
Daisy: Oh, nonsense...my little girl's only going to graduate once.
Well, technically if you include college....
Balcony: Ok, I just saw Finn walk in. Oh, this is so exciting...
Carrie: Do I really have to do this now?
You know, Carrie has a point...maybe we should wait until they're both the same age. Happy birthday, dear Carrie...
Man, we're really lucking out on the traits this round.
Aww...these three are really cute together.
Carrie: Hey...you're Finn, right? Crayola's cousin?
Finn: Yeah...hey, thanks for inviting me. This is a great party...
Carrie: You don't have to lie. It's just a regular birthday party.
Finn: No, really! I mean it...so, Crayola let me know you just got your college letter back. Have you chosen where to go yet?
Carrie: Not really...It's so hard to pick.
Finn: Well, if I can put in a good word for University of Britechester...the culinary arts program was fantastic.
Carrie: Culinary arts, huh?
Finn: Yeah...are you into cooking?
Carrie: A bit...I mean, you know, enough to keep myself alive.
Finn: Hey, how about I take you down to campus tomorrow and show you around?
Carrie: That would be great!
Finn: So, what do you think?
Carrie: It's beautiful. I think I've made up my mind...
And it seems she's quite smitten with the tour guide, too...
Well, that's one decision out of the way.
Carrie: I just wish I didn't have to leave Gary behind, though.
Finn: Why would you?
Carrie: You can't bring a dog to college...can you?
Well, if you were living in a dorm, probably not. But your going to be in an off-campus house so...
Carrie: Mom! Guess what? I can bring Gary to college!!
Carrie: You hear that, boy? You get to come to college too!
Daisy: I can't believe they're letting you bring the dog...
Yeah, off campus living has it's perks. Speaking of which, it's just about time for me to be moving on. Carrie, I'll catch up with you and Gary at college. Everyone else, I'll see you next round.
A Message From the Mysterious Voice: Yup, we're still in the "Spa Day Refresh" era. We are nearing the end of the "catch-up" posts, though. And yes, Carrie will be taking Gary with her to college. I figured that since Finn is already graduated, there was no harm in taking up that last slot with a dog. I know that Daisy and Lucas didn't show up a whole lot, but most of my focus was getting Carrie and Finn's relationship off the ground.
