[PAULA] Thanks for helping me set up everything. I definitely couldn’t have done all of this alone. [BART] It’s no problem. Are they coming tonight?

[PAULA] No, tomorrow morning. Dad’s distracting her but she probably already knows we’re throwing her a party. [BART] Is everyone coming?

[PAULA] Just people Mom likes... if this is about your mom, she didn’t answer my texts. [BART] I didn’t expect her to. She’s very busy in Monaca with Mr. Goldman. [PAULA] But! Emi’s coming. She needs the distraction really badly. [BART] Why? [PAULA]... I thought you two were friends?

[BART] I—I think we are. What does it have to do with this? [PAULA sighs] Christopher broke up with her three days ago and she’s really sad. I feel bad for her.

[BART] What? Why? [PAULA] Going to the Navy out of fucking nowhere. I told Emi he never seemed serious about their relationship and look at what he did.

[PAULA] It makes me so mad. I can’t tell Emi this because she goes—she doesn’t like it when you’re mean to him even if he broke up with her. Like— what? He deserves it.

[BART] Is she feeling better? [PAULA] Probably not, it’s just been three days. They dated for like eight years, she really thought they were going to get married this year.

[PAULA] She’s coming over tomorrow, you can ask her anything you want. I’m going to get more balloons.

[EMILIA] Paula! I missed you! [PAULA] Ah! I missed you too, damn. [PAULA] How have you been? [EMILIA] Good! Don’t tell my mom, but I can’t wait to move back to Gardania just because you’ll be thirty minutes away. [PAULA] Living with Chris is that boring, huh. I mean, kinda expected. [EMILIA] I never said that! He’s fun. [PAULA] Mhm. How’s work? [EMILIA] Busy! I’m also helping Lottie plan some of her wedding things. [PAULA] Right, you’re a bridesmaid. Are there, you know, any plans? [EMILIA] ... For? [PAULA] Emi. Seriously. Chris’ sister is getting married. [EMILIA] Yes, and... [PAULA] People are one hundred percent expecting him to do something. [PAULA] You know, getting engaged? [EMILIA] We haven’t actually spoken about it. I told my parents I want to finish my studies first. [PAULA] You’re dating Chris. Have you told him? [EMILIA] No... [PAULA] Emi. [EMILIA] I mean— I— When did you become some kind of relationship guru? [PAULA] I’m not! I’m looking out for you. Also, you know I’m nosy. [EMILIA] I know we should’ve talked about it, I mean, we’ve been dating for seven years. [EMILIA] At this point, it’s more of planning our future together. I do want one. [PAULA] Aww, you’re so cute. [EMILIA] Don’t laugh at me! [PAULA] I’m not! But yes, talk to him. He’s essentially your stay at home boyfriend already, so. [EMILIA] He is working. [PAULA] On what? Annoying your mom? Doesn’t count as a real job. [EMILIA] Tch. You’re mean. He decorated half the apartment on his own! You have to see it— How about this Friday? [PAULA] Hmm, I should be free. Should we invite Bart? [EMILIA] Yeah... I don’t see why not. [PAULA] It’ll be like old times!

[PAULA] You’re finally here— Oh, wow. [EMILIA] Don’t start. [PAULA] I will. Oh, wow. Is that my best friend? [PAULA] You look amazing. [EMILIA] So do you. I told you that dress was the one for you. [PAULA[ And that one clearly for you. Where were you hiding it? [EMILIA] It was one I just kept putting off wearing. I didn’t think I could pull it off. [PAULA] I’ve told Chris before that he’s lucky. Where is he? [EMILIA] Not coming. Don’t really want to talk about it. [PAULA] Alright, alright. Aunt Raquel has been looking forward to seeing us, that’s all she’s spammed my mom with the entire week. [EMILIA] She’s always been nice to us, even before, you know. The separation [EMILIA] Is Mr. Dudley here? [PAULA] Uncle’s never coming to Monaca. He says its cursed. [EMILIA] I thought they were friends. [PAULA] Before his friend married his ex-wife, yes. [EMILIA] Right. [PAULA] There they are. His name is Martin, by the way. Mr. Goldberg [RAQUEL] Emilia! Paula. What a pleasure to see you both here. Thank you so much for coming. I know you two are so busy lately with your studies. At least, that’s what my Timmy has told me. [EMILIA] The pleasure is ours, Ms. Dud—Goldberg. The place looks amazing. [RAQUEL] Every year it gets better. Goldberg has always thrown the best parties. [MR. GOLDBERG] You are way too kind, darling. Emilia, I’d love to thank you directly for the yearly donations you’ve done. They’ve helped us tremendously with all the charities we support. [EMILIA] It’s nothing, sir— [BART] Paula, Emilia, you made it. [RAQUEL] Oh, you three look so cute. Just like back when you were kids. [RAQUEL] Remember when you dated little Emilia, Bart? You two were so cute, like little puppies. [BART] Mom. I think you two should go greet more guests. I can stay with them. [MR. GOLDBERG] I agree with Bartholomew, for once. [RAQUEL] Alright. Bye darlings! Have fun. Again, thank you for coming.

[PAULA] How did auntie just tire me out and we just got here? [BART] You know she’s always been like this. [PAULA] Whatever, I need a drink. [BART] I can get you both one. [PAULA] We can walk, Bart. Thanks. [EMILIA] Wait for me! [BART] Wait, is Chris with you two? I haven’t seen him. [EMILIA] No, he’s not coming. Previous arrangement, couldn’t reschedule. Don’t worry though, there’s no better date than Paula. Bye~

[PAULA] Oh no. So what are you going to do now? [EMILIA] Okay, here’s my plan. I leave Gardania as soon as possible and move to an island with Horsey. [PAULA] I’m sure they’ll understand and won’t mind. Especially Lottie! [EMILIA] No, they must hate me now. Seriously, their dad was in a car accident and I didn’t even call to check on them! [EMILIA] Lottie probably threw away all our photos together and Chris probably wants to break up with me. [PAULA] You’re overthinking this. Have you talked to them? [EMILIA] No. [PAULA] Then? Call them now and explain what happened! [EMILIA] No! I’m too ashamed. I’m going to transfer back to St. Ceasar’s.[PAULA] Emi, seriously— [EMILIA] Nope. I won’t. I’ll miss Ludgrove. I will never talk to them ever again or step foot in Monaca. You can’t make me! [PAULA] Okay, fine! Have it your way. When did you become so stubborn!? [EMILIA] It’s a family trait.

[PHONE RINGING] [PAULA] Hello? Who’s this? [...][PAULA] Oh. Hi. Yes, she’s fine— No, she hasn’t seen them. [inaudible] [PAULA] I’m not sure what I can do to help. Wait, actually... She has her show jumping event next week. I’m guessing you have a ticket?

[PAULA] I can’t stand him! He really didn’t come! After he heard you talk about this for months. Has he even texted you? [EMILIA] No... but I saw him in one of his friend’s Simsta stories. [PAULA] A soccer game? He didn’t come because of a dumb soccer game? [EMILIA] He was excited for that game. I just don’t get why he couldn’t come. He didn't even reply to my messages. [PAULA] The only thing I know is he’s an asshole. [EMILIA] Paula! [PAULA] What? It’s the truth. Look at everything you’ve done for him and he couldn’t even come to your birthday party and chose a soccer game instead. [EMILIA] What do you think I should do? I don’t want to talk to him at all. I’m sad [PAULA] Block him. Actually, let me do that for you. At least he can’t bother you on social media.  Also, you really need to charge your phone. It’s at two percent. [EMILIA] Just leave it, no one’s looking for me anyway. [EMILIA] Do I have bad luck with boys? Why does this keep on happening to me? [PAULA] No. You’re amazing. The boys are the ones that suck. [EMILIA] Can you stay for a while? I don't want to be alone. [PAULA] Wasn’t planning on leaving anyways.

It’s my first birthday with a boyfriend. I’m not being too much with the matching right? Because before— [PAULA] Emi! Please. He’s gonna love it, I promise! You’ve been planning this party for so long, everyone’s gonna have so much fun today. Including you! So don’t stress. [EMILIA] Okay, okay! I believe you. Sorry. I’ll just send him a quick text, okay?

BEHIND THE SCENES — Almost three months later...

[PAULA] It’s been almost three months and you two still can’t be seen in public? [EMILIA] No, and I don’t think we’ll able to anytime soon. People are just starting to smile at me at events again. [EMILIA] You know, Bart never really liked when Tessa wanted to join us. Chris is really nice to her. I really like that. He’s just so... I love him. [PAULA] It is nice. Wait, hold on. Did you just say that you— [EMILIA] Umm... Really like how nice he is to Tessa. What about it? [PAULA] Emi. Have you told him? [EMILIA] No, but I want to. I should be honest with him, right? [EMILIA] I think he does feel the same way. Like, he came to see me and I didn’t have to ask him to. We’re busy with school and he has his soccer things to worry about.  Plus he doesn’t mind I don’t really understand soccer. [EMILIA] He’s come to my horse jumping competitions, at Ludgrove and even the ones here! Um... Am i being too much, again? Pau, help. I don’t want to scare him away like I did with Bart. [PAULA] Uh. I do think you— he likes you. A lot! Um, yes, you should be honest with him. Tell him how you really feel. [EMILIA] Okay, I will. Later this week. [THERESA] Emi, look what Chris got me! [EMILIA] I thought mom said you couldn’t have more chocolate. [CHRISTOPHER] What, seriously? [THERESA] Mom doesn’t have to know! If you tell her, I’ll tell dad you sneaked into the guest rooms last night. [EMILIA] Theresa! How do you know that?
