330 The Watcher Watches: Rainflower's House ~~ Flower 4 Grim ~~
"Vance. Have you Flower 4 Grim?" asks Klaatu. Of course she starts with the person nearest to her....Or is it because she has Achieved Romantic Interest?
She is still -8 for gender preference to males.

"Thank you Klaatu, that is very kind of you." says Vance.
"Um Klaatu, dear, do you find me attractive? Or are you able to judge this?"

"Analyze: Vance. Attractiveness.'' *whirrr* *POP* *!!!!!* ''Affirmative Vance." she says. "Vance = 100".
''Well Thank you Klaatu, but I think the numbers only go up to 10. But this is very encouraging!" says Vance.
He starts right in on his flirting, telling her that he loves her.

Mara has made a delicious meal for everyone. She is the top cook in the household, and really could apply to the Bistro when she is older! I think Amelina will love to take her on, as another Master Chef in the making!
She stands there watching Peanut enjoy his food, thinking about their shared LTW.

In the kitchen Klaatu has to adjust her body properly, she wants to talk to Annalove, and give her the Flower 4 Grim.

''Annalove, I observed you paint." says Klaatu "Paint = Fun?"
"Yes Klaatu. Painting great art comes from the inspiration and love in your heart." says Annalove. "You might want to try it, yourself."
"Affirmative. Annalove." says Klaatu, then adds, "Flower 4 Grim." and gives her the gift, just in case.

Mara and Peanut talk about their LTW being almost close enough to be fulfilled. They are both very excited about this, because it isn't all that usual for mere teens to get to this high point in life, at such a young age!
"Peanut, will we continue making gold, or should we look for other means to get to our goal?"

"Well I do need to get the Philosophers Stone back to Jin, She only let me borrow it, for awhile.
I think we can keep going, for maybe a week longer, now that we know what to expect."
"Yes ok! I do have a few items I want to try my hand at!" says Mara.

Then Mara has to tell him again how handsome and clever he is. Of course Peanut loves hearing it!

Peanut is all tongue tied, trying to tell her what he feels.
But no matter, Mara sees his love through his actions, not mere words.

Annalove paints another Masterpiece called 'My Minds Eye'. "This is how I see my world, through rose colored glasses.'' she thinks.

Klaatu has observed Annalove painting again, and this time tries her own hand at painting.
Oh, It must be the lake where she and Vance went fishing!
She sells her painting and heads to bed.

Mara is at peace.
"I think I will go make some gold bars while Peanut sleeps! He will be so surprised when I get us to our goal! All from his clever idea of borrowing the Philosophers stone!''
Using Peanut's Teddy bear, she has success!

"Oh yes this IS great fun!" she thinks. ''Next is Rainflower's music trophy!'' :o
Should you be using that Mara? It isn't even yours!
"Hm. well I think it will probably be ok!" she says

https://i.imgur.com/vxowA99.jpg
Mara is much more Lucky than Peanut is! Hardly any items go *POOF" to notingness!
Next is the bento box souvenir from the field trip to the Bistro! Success!

Next, Mara tries some pancakes she made yesterday!
Oh but Mara is getting very sleepy now!
Mara perhaps you should go to sleep?
"No Watcher, just an hour longer. Please, I want to surprise Peanut, in the morning.
https://i.imgur.com/SiOLeT8.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/rpp1oQU.jpg
The young girl continues on.
''It's incredible to place food worth 0 Simoleans and make such a profit!'' says Mara.
This one *POOFS* and sputters to nothingness. But so far she is up 5K!?
https://i.imgur.com/1aiZ5CZ.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/4IXRKOU.jpg
"I'll just give it one last try before beddy bye.'' All that is left in her backpack is a piece of lettuce.
Mara is so tired she mispronounces a word in the incantation.
She can tell something is very wrong! :o
She tries to regain control of the device!

But the gold is spit upon her body instead of turning the lettuce to a gold bar. The poor dear!

https://i.imgur.com/lsXUFhU.jpg
Peanut is so shocked and sad!
https://i.imgur.com/31yvtO0.jpg
A deep scary voice calls, ''MARA!"
Grimmy compels her spirit to come before him.
Poor little thing, She doesn't even get a nice looking Urn, hers looks more like a cheap waste bin. :#
https://i.imgur.com/A6UEIIY.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/4CRylp5.jpg
Oh the poor sweet thing! This is so sad! ??
https://i.imgur.com/iZyktCF.jpg
"MARA, my lass. Have you a pretty flower for old Grimmy?" asks the Reaper, for he had noticed the lovely garden of Vance and Klaatu on his arrival, and really coveted the fragrant petals!
https://i.imgur.com/7qRw10h.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/v1acKkP.jpg
"Yes Mr. Grimmy! It was Just picked today!" says Mara, proudly offering it up in her trembling fingers.
Grimmy is beside himself with happiness, and snatches the flower with his boney claw!
"MARA, how sweet of you, this is my very favorite flower of All! I must hurry home to put it in water! I know just the right vase!"
https://i.imgur.com/VGtnxCT.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/Xq7ccp8.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/tGETGOz.jpg
And with a wave of Grimmy's skeletal hand, Mara is instantly twirled back into her mortal body, none the worse!

https://i.imgur.com/xm4nUKh.jpg
Grimmy is certainly Very pleased! And now he and Mara are friends.
https://i.imgur.com/WcKEsOe.jpg
Grimmy disappears. But Mara feels very unsettled about having been a Ghost! And also feels unsure if she should be Grimmy's friend or not!
Peanut is just soo soo glad she is alive! He loves her.
https://i.imgur.com/ozr8wRt.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/Majt98P.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/vvLV4Dk.jpg
She looks to Peanut, for reassurance.
"Everything will be OK now, sweetie." says Peanut, just so happy she is alive.
