DOES SOREN DATE STUDS AND STEMS? Not usually, but she needs a crew to pull up to the parties with! But, bear in mind – she’s pretty fluid, so you never know; who am I to stand in the way of chemistry if it happens?
Also - I know I said 5, but again, who knows? So don’t let that stop you from sending your Sim 🥰
✏️ Note: my save is MaxisMix with the teeniest splash of Alpha – don’t worry about too many outfits; mainly every day & party fits
✏️ Please no alpha skins; I will be giving them all the treatment™️ (overlay, highlight & secret sauce) upon arrival ✨
✏️ Don’t forget to tag me and use the hashtag #getpetty so I can find your submissions! This is gonna be fun! 
BABS: Listen - I know you’re already in an awkward position, so I’ll spare you any further grief. Whoever you’re saying is your business. Same goes for Turk. Let’s just leave it at that.
AINSLEY: She loves you, you know. 
BABS: I love her too.
AINSLEY: If that’s the case, why aren’t you together? 
BABS: Because we need time to grow. We were too codependent. We have to learn how to thrive on our own. 
AINSLEY: Aren’t you afraid of losing each other? 
BABS: Of course. But what’s important now is learning about ourselves as individuals. What’s meant to be, will be. 
AINSLEY: Are you sure it doesn’t bother you if – you know?
BABS: Clearly she means something to you if you’re asking me this. The rest is none of my business. And I’d like to keep it that way.
You can relax; you and me are good.
[ Lavender thinks of a question for the fortune cube: Could she be the one?? ]
DELILAH: That’s the yoga girl, right? She looks good. 
LILY: Finally. Here comes the drama.
SUGAR: I don’t know; I like her. I think she’s gonna turn it around.
BABS: You look amazing. You got this. 
BABS & LAVENDER: Ayyyyyyyyyyeeeee!
NETTA: She wearin’ that dress, though.
BABS: Well lady, you certainly gave Soren a run for her money – what did you and Soren decide to do?
LAVENDER: Not this is a surprise to anyone, but I told Sharon I think it’s best. I work on me right now.
BABS: Well I for one am so very proud of you. Do you wanna share what you’ve been up to? If you don’t want to that’s completely fine; I know it’s kind of personal. 
CHRISTIAN: Uh, I hope I’m not disturbing you. But I wouldn’t have been able to forgive myself if I didn’t come over and say hello. I’m Chris. 
LAVENDER: Nice to meet you.
CHRISTIAN: Just wanted you to know that I thought what you said about therapy and growth was really beautiful. It takes a lot of strength to do what you’re doing. 
LAVENDER: Thanks – I don’t feel very strong, unfortunately. 
CHRISTIAN: Are you kidding? It takes balls to put yourself out there. Plus, tell everyone you’re going to therapy on top of that? Come on – you gotta give yourself some credit for that. 
LAVENDER: Really? I’m sorry, I’m terrible with names. What’s your name again?
CHRISTIAN: Chris. Maybe you’ll remember me as Lavender Dream?
( Netta claps her hand to her forehead )
LAVENDER: Lavender Dream? The one person who always had my back in the chat? 
CHRISTIAN: For sure; I was rootin’ for you since day one.
I hope this doesn’t upset you, but I low-key hoped you didn’t wind up with Soren, cause I wanted a shot myself. And I promised myself to buy you a drink if I ever got the chance to meet you.
LAVENDER: I’d love that. 
NETTA: Oh my godddddddd…
ZALE: Oh boy.
XOCHITL: Anybody else call you Clem, or just Babs? 
CLEMENTINE: No – other people call me that sometimes. You look familiar; have we met before? 
XOCHITL: Kind of. I’m Xo – you may remember me better as the flower girl?
CLEMENTINE: That’s right! You look, – different. 
BABS: So you’re telling me you want to a five star restaurant and didn’t even get any food? 
TALLY: Not a bite. The worst part was Soren looking so disappointed – I know she went out of her way to spoil me. 
BABS: What did they say? What were they doing? 
TALLY: They were just standing around; there wasn’t even any cooks in the kitchen! I heard someone say something about an update – whatever that means – so they told us they were gonna close for the night. 
BABS: That is so ghetto. 
TALLY: You ain’t lyin’. I told Soren not to worry; I knew just the place we could go. 
I took her to Mr. Cacciatore’s – it’s the best kept secret; top-tier Italian spot – the place you take someone when you’re trying to tuck away somewhere quiet. And the food is good, you hear me? 
BABS: Mr. Cacciatore’s ? Where’s that? 
TALLY: Sullivan Street – across from the Medical Center.
BABS: They deliver on Zoomer’s ?
TALLY: Nah. They do pickup, though.
Anyway, they were about to close the kitchen, but Soren “talked to” the hostess. She seated us and sent a server right over. 
I was a little worried about the quality of the food with the kitchen, shutting down, but turns out we had nothing to worry about. Everything was wonderful – even the service.
BABS: Shout out to ÅŞÉ - I heard that place is amazing. Did you enjoy the class?
SOREN: It’s beautiful. And the vibes are immaculate.
Kind of wish my skills were a little better; I felt like I wasn’t really worthy of the place.
BABS: but you’re really fit; was it that much of a struggle?
SOREN: Yoga is a completely different beast. Believe me. But I did my best.
BABS: So – you told me to buckle up and I’m still waiting; doesn’t seem very bumpy so far.
SOREN: Right. After some thought, I’m not sure I wanna talk about it on air.
BABS: Tell you what - It’s commercial time. Why don’t we talk about it on the break, then we can decide what you feel comfortable sharing?
You gonna get me beat up; the chat is going nuts. Calm down y’all; me and Soren are gonna have a little talk and we’ll be back right after this break. If y’all want something to do, may I suggest getting your tickets for the summer events – they’re selling out fast. We’ll be right back.
[ STARTS COMMERCIAL BREAK AND MUTES THE MICS ]
BABS: What the hell happened?
SOREN: Bro - she slipped out on me, man; I complemented her and she lost it.
BABS: What?? ‘Flipped out’ how? What did you say, exactly?
SOREN: All I did is ask her what she’d like to do for her date.
BABS: You had to have said more than that. What did she say? What did she do?
SOREN: She asked me where I was taking the other girls. I told her I haven’t met them all yet.
She then asked me some weird question about how many points she got?? I told her none; this isn’t a competition.
That really set her off. She said she knows for a fact that this is a contest. She doesn’t like that, but at least she wants a fair shot.
BABS: Oh my God. I’ll have Blair call her and explain everything; don’t worry about it.
SOREN: No need – we hashed it out.
I told her this wasn’t a competition; hell, even I didn’t want to participate in a competition when it came to dating. I told her it was all about vibing with people, meeting new people, and seeing if I clicked with anyone.
I told her let’s just enjoy the experience and have fun. She chilled out after that.
BABS: i’m still gonna get Blair to check on her. Time to come back from commercial; we’ll pick this up later.
SOREN: A lot of the exhibits were closed by the time I got there, but she did show me around in the main gallery. 
She surprised me by asking to see some of my work that she looked me up and saw some of the furniture I make and asked me about it in detail. It’s strange – most people know me as a social media person now; sometimes I forget I’m an artist myself.
BABS: I’m kinda embarrassed; I lowkey forgot you did that too. 
SOREN: I don’t make a big deal out of it – my client tells exclusive and they pay well. How do you think I can afford to chill at the yurt? 
But I gotta admit, hanging with Net made me think about getting back to my roots, you know? 
Turns out we have a lot in common – we’re both nomadic, both love to travel and both love new expenses. We talked till they kicked us out.
BABS: Sounds like she was worth the wait. 
SOREN: She was. 
BABS: Looks like you have your work cut out for you. 
SOREN: Looks like. 
BABS: One more to go. 
SOREN: Yup. Sweet Clementine.
BABS: Don’t know how different this one’s gonna be from the last five, but we’ll have to wait till after the commercial break to find out! 
Ion like this - you mean to tell me every girl decided not to be with Soren, so netra gets her by default? Ew.
Cherry pop
SOREN!! 😍😍😍😍😍
[ APPLAUSE ]
BABS: What’s going on? Wasn’t expecting you till the next segment.
ZESTY: Mi cyant watch.
NDESI: If she’s coming out here to embarrass my little sister – 
ZILA: I don’t think you have to worry about that.
BABS: Might as well sit down – just so everyone watching knows, this wasn’t planned. 
SOREN: No - no it wasn’t, everybody. Sorry about that.
BABS: Since you’re here – guess you heard what the others had to say. 
SOREN: I did. As a matter of fact, I’ve spoken to each of them before today. Everyone but Netra, that is. 
BABS: Oh?
SOREN: I love the way she sees things; she’s right – these shows always have a finality I never really vibed with. And if I’m gonna keep it real, I low-key struggle with the thought of turning women down when we got to the end of this. ‘Cause like, who am I?? 
So I came out here to say this to Netra before we went any further.
