Halpert 4: Round 8

Last round, Dakota continued to advance in the natural science career in attempts to earn $100,000. His progress was hampered by a series of disturbing nightmares. His wife Idina became pregnant for the second time, giving birth to a second daughter Abby while their older daughter Zoe grew from a toddler to a child.



Hi, guys!

Dakota: Hi, mysterious voice.

Those dreams letting up any?

Dakota: No. I've been thinking about getting some kind of sleeping pill.

Do you guys even have sleeping pills?

Dakota: No, but I am a natural scientist. I'm sure I could invent one.




Nice snow angel, Zoe.

Zoe: Thanks!




Looks like we get to start the week off with a birthday. Happy birthday, dear Zoe...



Hmm, not bad. Have you picked an aspiration?

Zoe: Yup!




Zoe: I want a life of love!

(sighs) Of course you do.



Idina: Enjoying the pinball machine I brought home?

Dakota: Yeah. But how am I earning money by doing this again?

Idina: Don't question where the money comes from, dear.



Oh, there's Abby. I thought we'd lost her.



Looks like I tracked her down just in time for her birthday. Happy birthday, dear Abby...



Very nice.



Looks like it's time to hire a gardener...



Dakota: So...you from around here?

Dakota, why are you chatting up the help?

Dakota: I need 4 more friends to get promoted. I need to meet people and fast.

Don't worry. With both the girls in school it will go fast.



Abby: Dad, this is too hard!

Dakota: It's really not, Abby. I'll help you.



At least Zoe has an easy lifetime want.



Looks like Dakota made enough friends. Congratulations!

Dakota: Thanks!



Zoe: If an old lady comes to the door it's for me.

Abby: What if a sumo wrestler comes to the door?

Zoe: You're so weird.



Oh, boy...time for the first date.



(sigh) Nutmeg is already taken. But Zoe needs some aspiration points so I'll let the date finish itself out.



Looks like Abby is making a friend too.

Abby: What do you want to be when you grow up?

Pine: A baseball player.



Um...massage table?

Idina: Dakota wanted to buy one...you know dear, this doesn't mean that I know how to massage you.

Dakota: Just give it a shot. How hard could it be?




Looks like it's that time of the week again. Nice job, Zoe! I'll see you at graduation and I'll see everybody else next round!




A Message From the Mysterious Voice: Pretty uneventful week, I know. And of course Zoe would be a romance Sim. Everybody else is...
