Today I headed in to Veronaville to play the Flexor family.
Sunday was Max's day off work. It was to be a day punctuated by the furious walkbys of Prof. Bill Cwik, due to a recent fight between Max and himself while visiting Miranda Capp, in which Max kicked Prof. Bill's ass. Roxie drove off to work, leaving Roxx in the capable hands of his father, though his nanny, Heidi Ajjanagadde was there to harass him whenever he didn't need her for anything (though thankfully, I think her pointless fury at him is over.) Max spent some quality time with Roxx before calling all his friends to invite them to a party. He spent most of the party with Roxx, however. He taught Roxx a nursery rhyme and helped him to gain a charisma point in the process. The party was a success despite Max ignoring his guests - they were perfectly capable of entertaining each other. Both Max and Roxx were in bed exhausted by 4pm. After work, Roxie called one of her many boyfriends, Neil Smith (who if memory serves is a college dormie) to ask him out on their very first date. Yup, they're BFFs and in love, but they hadn't gone out on a date until now. Roxie met him at Sim Center South. After a quick chat about their mutual interest in music and dance, they decided to indulge that hobby with some romantic slow dancing. This was followed by a heavy makeout session. Roxie lured Neil to her car for their very first woohoo together. The date was a dream date and after a quick chat with the park's barista, Roxie drove home. Immediately upon arriving home, she called another of her BFFs, not to mention her latest crush, Jihoon Jitmakusol (who is incidentally one of Max's friends) to ask him out on a date as well. It was another first date and Roxie was keen to win Jihoon's heart completely, so she met him at Londoste. There, she wined and dined Jihoon and they greatly enjoyed their sumptuous dinner of filet mignon.

After dinner, they had a long chat, followed by Roxie getting down on one knee and serenading Jihoon in front of all the restaurant's patrons. Jihoon was amazed by the depth of Roxie's feelings and they declared their newfound love for one another. Then it was time for a barely decent makeout session in the middle of the restaurant before the date ended with the score of dream date. Roxie drove straight home and spent some time chatting online. She then called Max's BFF, Cornwall Capp to invite him over. After her dream date, she wasn't tired at all and decided to pull an all-nighter. She stayed up getting to know Cornwall and they became friends. Roxie of course turned on the charm and they developed a mutual crush.
Max was up at the stroke of midnight on Monday morning to bake a batch of santa cookies for Roxie and Cornwall to enjoy. He then took a bath, during which Roxie and Cornwall made out in the dining area with Max none the wiser. Roxie spent some of her accumulated aspiration points on a long desired hot tub (which the ungrateful bitch has yet to use!) She then chatted online some more while Max spent his time entertaining Roxx. As soon as Roxie abandoned the computer, Max jumped on to play SSX3. Roxie purchased a lovely mirror for the bedroom and stood in front of it practicing a speech, gaining a much needed charisma point. Max drove to work and Roxie called townie Timothy Philippine for a chat before noticing that all of Prof. Bill's furious trashcan kickings had caused a roach problem in the front yard. She quickly called an exterminator before taking the carpool to work. Max brought home one of his work colleagues, Mercutio Monty. Roxie was promoted to All Star and received two coupons for a free meal in the mail (I'm guessing that was a glitch, but I'm not gonna complain!) She invited townie Waylon Menon over in the hopes of getting to know him better and after a chat, he was so impressed with Roxie that he gave her a free computer. (Don't you just wish that after a quick chat with some random person they gave you an expensive computer as a "free sample", just once, ever?) Roxie was in bed at 6pm exhausted from her all-nighter. Roxx grew up well in to a child and Max became friends with Mercutio. Roxx spent some of the family's simoleons on a lemonade stand and immediately manned it despite a raging snowstorm. He actually sold a cup, too. He wasn't though spending simoleons though. He also gained permission from Max to purchase a bowling lane and an easel. Due to having just woken from a nap before aging up, Roxx wasn't sleepy at all so he decided to stay up all night. He immediately wanted to try out his new easel and gained his first creativity point.
Roxx continued painting and in the early hours of Tuesday morning gained two more creativity points. Max made a purchase of his own - an exercise machine. He started working out straight away and kept it up until it was time to drive to work. It was Roxie's day off. Roxx called his nanny, Heidi for a long chat in the hopes of improving their relationship before he got on the bus for his first day at school. As soon as she was alone, Roxie called her new crush, Cornwall and asked him if he'd like to meet her at The Corner Shoppes for some window shopping. Upon arriving, Roxie spent a little time gossiping about her neighbours to Cornwall, followed by tickling him mercilessly. They became best friends and walked in to the middle of the road for some slow dancing, completely uncaring of oncoming traffic. After some mid-dance smooches, they both realized they were in love.

They headed inside to the photobooth for a romantic picture together, which Roxie decided to keep in her wallet so that nobody would ever see. After exiting the photobooth, Roxie started with the flirting, followed by a makeout session. Having ascertained that Cornwall was indeed in the mood, Roxie lured him back inside the photobooth for their first woohoo together. Unbeknownst to either of them, Roxie fell pregnant to Cornwall. The date was a dream date and Roxie went straight home. Once there, she invited Jihoon over to spend some time with him as well. Just after his arrival, she had her first wave of morning sickness. She started feeling very uneasy - after all, she and Max hadn't woohooed since before Roxx was born. She invited Timothy over in the hopes of talking to somebody unaffected by the situation, but had no time to talk as her pregnancy was making her too hungry. Roxx earned first chair for percussion in the school band on his first day of school, which paid him $200. A lot of money for a little boy! When Max got home from work, he invited Mercutio over to hang out. Roxx went straight to bed after school - his all-nighter had taken a toll and he was in danger of passing out. Whilst she ate, Roxie had formulated a plan, and unceremoniously asked all the guests to leave after she did the dishes. She then quickly whisked Max away to the bedroom for a woohoo - that way, there'd be no question marks in his eyes when her pregnancy started showing.

After their post coital nap, Max called Mercutio for a chat. Roxx also woke up and all three Flexors decided to pull an all-nighter together. Max called Mercutio back and invited him over again so they could spend all their time together (until 2am, when guests decide they'll turn in to pumpkins if they don't go home.) Roxie headed to the mirror to gain another much needed charisma point and Mercutio broke the tv, then promptly left with the old "look at the time!" excuse. Max wasn't mad though. He just called the repairman to come fix it in the morning. And it's a good thing he wasn't mad, because as soon as he got off the phone with the repairman, he clogged the toilet. Roxx got his homework all finished without any help. Roxie and Maxx (thanks to ACR) went back to bed for another woohoo. It seems Max will have no doubts at all about the baby being his. Roxx drowned out the sounds from his parents' bedroom by playing with the family's arcade machine. Roxie had two more waves of morning sickness, which much have been hell for Max, who was enjoying a bubble bath at the time. I'd sure hate to have somebody puking in the toilet only a few steps away from me while I was trying to enjoy a bubble bath...
