Rue found herself at the Geekcon. Justin and Supriya Delgato had invited her to join them, and of course she eagerly accepted! She hadn't been to the city in ages, and was always excited to visit the city's fancy karaoke bars. Rue also figured it would be good to get to know Supriya a bit, as Justin clearly loved her very much, but she was struggling. They played some games, bought street food and chatted on the bench, but Rue just couldn't get herself to connect to Supriya. Rue always tried to get along with people and believed that everyone had something interesting and good inside them, but she found herself rather bored in her company. This made her feel guilty, but she was determined to build up a relationship. Just not today.
Then Rue saw something light blue. She stopped mid-sentence as her mind went still. A few benches away, Yuki Behr was chatting with two sims, looking rather tense. Rue's heart melted. Keeping her eye on Yuki, she continued the conversation, but eventually excused herself to go meet her. Of course Rue commented on their hair, and this prompted a nervous smile from Yuki. Rue found her awkwardness adorable. They exchanged some small talk about appropriately geeky things, played a game together and parted ways as the Geekcon disassembled. Rue couldn't help but smile.
She then realized she had lost the Delgatos. When she found them again, they (or rather, she) had a blast at Planet Honey Pop!, happily embarrassing herself as she sang her heart out.
The next day, Rue found herself in a particularly cheerful mood. She had her usual yogurt for breakfast, enjoyed some yoga on her balcony and did some gardening, but she was very distracted this morning. She found herself reaching for her phone and hitting send on a text message. What a lovely day it is! She waited eagerly for a reply, but she was not anxious. And sure enough, Yuki invited her to enjoy the sunshine at Magnolia Blossom Park.
Rue had never been to Willow Creek before, but it was very charming. She and Yuki took a relaxing walk around the park, had veggie burgers and had a blast on the swing. Afterwards, they went to the museum. Yuki didn't seem to care too much about the paintings, so Rue got an idea. She suggested that they play chess. Rue was obliterated, of course, but her soul felt at peace as she listened to the rain pouring next to them and watched Yuki's face squint up in concentration.

, arranged some flowers, bought a few new pieces of furniture and found an interesting crystal and fossil, which she displayed proudly in her small but fast-cluttering living room. It was quite tough expanding her house, because her finances were as unsteady as the orange autumn leaves now just barely hanging onto their branches, but her home and new belongings made her so happy that it was worth it. <BR />https://i.imgur.com/eadLbhf.png)
To her surprise as she was eating lunch, a knock on her door revealed Yuki dropping by for a visit! They talked and talked, not even noticing it was growing dark. Yuki's stomach grumbled, much to her embarrassment, but Rue just laughed and proposed that they go out to eat something. This time, though, she didn't beat about the bush. She asked her to go as her date. Yuki was startled, but then she blushed and accepted shyly. Once again, Rue's heart beamed at how adorable Yuki was.

They went to a fancy restaurant in Forgotten Hollow, all dressed up. Yuki was hesitant about spending a ridiculous amount of money at some expensive place, but Rue had experience in this sort of thing - she figured that you should go for the cheapest menu items whilst enjoying the grand atmosphere. They did just that, and had a great time. Rue became a bit flustered herself, though, since Yuki spent almost the entire night acting flirty, much to her surprise after her previously shy demeanour. She couldn't help herself, and they shared their first kiss. They laughed about it afterwards, since the setting was rather hilarious with the grand architecture against the skulls, spider webs and red candles everywhere.

Once they ended the date, Yuki went on her way, but Rue felt compelled to stay for a while. She stared at the large statue in the center of the town across from the restaurant, feeling an uncanny sense of unease and familiarity. She wondered around for a while longer, almost hoping that something would approach her from the shadows. Alas, nothing came, and she grew very tired, so she returned home.

That night, she slept with a big grin plastered across her face and dreamed happily of light blue hair.
