Bachelorette Table of Contents / Originally posted at Neighborhood 99 on 03 November 2012
Just like in real life, the funniest things happen after the cameras stop rolling. If you'd like to see a bit more of my Bachelorette challenge, then stick around while the crew packs up.
Melissa has put up with a lot during this challenge. Now that the buffet table is closed, she wants her figure back! So, I send her to the Maple Springs Pool & Spa to work out.
It's been a long time since her last trip to the gym, so Melissa isn't taking any chances on the treadmill.
Who should walk in but Tiffany Zarubin! You may recall from
Still Human 37 that Tiffany has a penchant for dark-haired young men. Melissa notices her swooning over a random hottie.
Because she's a Romance Sim, Melissa is intrigued. She'd like to know how Tiffany has preserved her libido into old age, so she introduces herself as a fellow good-time gal.
It was time to take a break, anyway.
Tiffany is happy to advise the younger woman in the ways of love.
“It's not about how big your bust is, dearie, or your tush,” she explains. “It's how you shake 'em!”
Melissa has a long chat with Tiffany (and her double?) about meeting new people, falling in love, and - er, lubrication.
“I could learn from this woman,” Melissa thinks to herself.
I have to break it up, though, because Maple Springs is too cramped to take decent pictures. I send Melissa to the more spacious SportySim Recreation Centre.
Tiffany must have more wisdom to impart because she follows Melissa there. George Selwyn (
Still Human) is a regular at the gym, so he shows up, too.
Tiffany notices his sleek, black hair right away. His orientation, however, keeps her guessing, and she doesn't want to guess wrong. As she said to Melissa, “Don't waste your time on the pansies, dearie. No woman is that good!”

After a quick dip in the pool, George practises his positions at the barre beside Tiffany. Ballet is a new interest for him. Ever since he got married, he's been embracing his feminine side.
This sudden change is a bit - unsettling.
Tiffany's mind is unsettled, too. Is he or isn't he?

Meanwhile, Ithuriel Angel is helping Tosha Go practise her goal-keeping.

It's okay to cheer when you score against a kid so long as you're her guardian angel.

Back indoors, Tiffany follows George to the treadmill where Komei Tellerman is working out.
Is he or isn't he?
Oh, that's just great. Newlywed George is farting hearts for the sinister leader of the Red-Headed League. Curse you, Red-Headed League! You meddle too much with my game-play.
On the plus side, his swooning confirms Tiffany's suspicions and she stops following him around.
I don't care which of you initiated that greeting, but you needn't get any ideas.
While all this is going on, Melissa regains her “normal” shape - yay! Time to hit the showers.
As she walks past the machines, she spots George greeting Komei. Tosha witnesses them, too.
This could get interesting: Mel's best friend is none other than Geo's new husband. Better hope she doesn't tell Thomas about your roving eye!
Komei thinks fast and knocks out the teen. She won't remember a thing when she wakes up. George will have to deal with Melissa, himself.
I'll let Ithuriel conclude this bonus album with a maxim for you to contemplate: “Before you can be cleansed of your sins, my good man, you must first be cleansed of your body odour.”
“Seriously, dude.”
Thanks for reading!
