ASYLUM CHALLENGE - CHAPTER 11 - GNOMIES

The residents arrived back by the 11pm curfew, and Snow made some food for everyone. She had really wanted to wander the neighborhood to collect more items, but she was rather tired and wanted to get a head start on the garden in the morning. So, after eating, she headed to bed.

The next morning was sunny, a perfect day to plant those seeds that she had purchased. Before doing so, she had to till the soil and prepare the garden plots, which took awhile. Snow was still so tired from the events of yesterday that after planting a few seeds, she promptly passed out in the garden.

Rusty must have still felt bad about the washroom snafu last night and autonomously came over and started watering the seeds. Ah Rusty, so sweet that you're helping Snow. In fact, when Snow woke up and saw that Rusty had helped in the garden, it gave her an idea. An idea that could also help her with one of her tasks.
And so, Snow formed a club for the residents, where they could work on different chores together. She named the club Gnomies, for all the gnomes that were on the property. She hoped that by working together that everyone would also get along better. And she hoped that this would also improve Don and Shanda's relationship.

With the garden planted and watered, the residents went about their day.

Snow discovered a bee box beside the garden and was able to harvest bees wax and honey. She also cut some grass around the garden and discovered a few items hidden in the grass (prairie grass).

Snow might have been tired, but duty still called, as the toilet, and then the sink spouted a leak, so she had to fix them.

Jackie was speaking with Patchy. She is probably checking on the progress of Uncle Clyde. Did she bring Uncle Clyde something to eat because it looks like she has a bowl in her hand.

In fact, Jackie must have talked a lot to Patchy as suddenly he came alive and walked into the house with her.

Notes: Jackie is the only one who has Patchy in her friends' list, as well as a bunny and the flock of birds.

Emilia must have had a sweets craving. She headed towards the maze and into the center where there was a candy dish.

Only, the dish didn't hold any candy, which gave her quite the fright.

~~~~~

Shanda was helping out today by doing some laundry. Oh gosh! Did she remove the dryer lint?

Geppetto was up to his old tricks again and was hogging the bed. Does Donte change into Geppetto at bedtime? And who has the worst nightmares? Donte or Geppetto?

~ ~ ~

Kahi was jumping around in the fountain. Probably some stress therapy for his 'supposed" alien encounters at the Gnome's Arms Pub last night.

Well, we know at least one sim who spoke to an alien last night because they somehow got Donte's number and were calling them.

There were numerous bug attacks during the day. Bees, bats, and spiders were prevalent. Were the bees from the beebox somehow getting into the house? Kahi, Donte and Geppetto were the ones attacked.

Don looked towards the garden and saw Snow standing there. Don had been thinking about Snow and what had happened at the Grome's Arms Pub last night. That Rusty was getting trickier and Don felt he had to watch him all the time. He really needed to talk to Snow about Rusty and his possible intentions, but he wasn't quite sure how to broach the subject with her.

At that moment, Snow turned and saw Don standing there and waved him over.

Snow: "Don, I'm so happy to see you this morning. I was just admiring the garden. I was so tired before that I must have fallen asleep when I was planting, and when I woke up, I saw Rusty watering the plants. He really is so helpful..."

Don: "Um, yeah, the garden looks great...and...well...it figures that Rusty would be around you. He's a teen boy...and, um...teen boys have one thing on their mind...and um...well, you're a sweet teen girl...and, well, he's just not to be trusted around you..."

Snow shook her head, "I'm sorry, Don, I really don't know what you're talking about..."

Don: "Oh gosh! Snow, didn't your mother ever talk to you about...well...um...what happens between sims?"

Snow looked away for moment: "My mother and father both died when I was very young and I was raised by a relative. She was actually the Queen. And she and I never had those types of talks. The only talks we ever had were about my chores and how I wasn't doing them the way she wanted them done..."

Don: "Oh Snow, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up painful memories for you..."

Snow: "It's alright, you meant no harm. I only have happy memories of my parents. And even though I had a lot of chores, the Queen did let me take walks in the forest. I did enjoy those very much, that is until I went for a walk in a different forest and I became lost and confused and ended up here..."

Don looked at her: "Oh Snow...I think I understand what happened. I'm sorry your life has been so hard for someone as kind as you..."

Snow: "Well my life has changed now and it's so much better. I have met some wonderful sims here, especially you, Don. You're so nice to me and  never say mean things to me. You're very special, Don."

 Don: "Oh Snow...that's the nicest thing anyone has every said about me. But you know...that's the kind of thing that friends do. They support each other, no matter what...."

Snow: "Oh, Don! Does that mean you are my friend?"

Don drew Snow in for a hug: "Yes, Princess, consider me your friend...a friend you can count on...always..."

Snow and Don are now friends.
