Thai Colours moves into the neighborhood with his dog Hans. He goes on dates with several townies but eventually woos and marries Amanda Carlson. They renovate their home and Thai gets a job in the Slacker career. Amanda becomes pregnant with their first child as Thai works to establish his club, Colouriffic.

1. Colours Week 2

2. Hey look it’s Thai! It’s finally his turn in
Silver Bend. Why does he have a dog you
may ask? I accidently made Pony’s Hanna a
male dog. So I made another female Hanna
and had Thai move in then out to swap dogs.
Now he has Hans instead of Hanna.

3. Thai and a made over Hans move across the street from
Pony and Ambi. He was randomly select to have an
OWBC. The first one I’ve ever attempted. And of course
I’m keeping score. I selected the Base Game, Open for
Business, and Freetime challenges. And for mini
challenges, Boolprop Names, One bad apple, Boolprop
Club house, and Family Scrap book.

4. I built Thai a small house, but he ran out of funds rather quickly.
So digging it is.
“Pony are you going to comment on my whole week?”
Umm, yes. I wanted to write you in first person, but it felt really
awkward.
“How about you try third person? You’re doing the commentary
style in Arbor Watch, this is supposed to be different.”
You’re right. *deep breathe* Here goes nothing.

5. Ron Humble whistled merrily as he left his
computer on the porch. He always loved
giving new families computers. Thai certainly
appreciated the gift, this time for it’s cash
value. He had a lot of house to build.

6. Melissa Fancey was the first to walk by. Thai
couldn’t believe is luck, a beautiful lady is his
first guest. He rushed to greet her.
“Hi Melissa.” He grinned.
“Do I know you?” She said.
“Not yet.” He smiled. “I’m Thai Colours.”

7. “Melissa Fancey, but some how you already
know that.”
“Let’s say that I’ve done my research.” Thai
grinned sheepishly as the welcome wagon
arrived.

8. “So how about we go on a date?” Thai said
gently taking Melissa’s hand.
“Why not?” Melissa agreed.

9. Things heated up rather quickly. Hans fell
asleep waiting for Thai to come in. As nice as
Melissa was Thai knew she wasn’t going to
settle down anytime soon. He needed a
spouse to start his OWBC.

10. Cool breezes the next morning remind Thai
he needed to get his tomatoes planted. He
planned on opening a club, so it’ll still be
awhile before a grocery would be started.

11. The sun came out again when Shelby walked
by.
“Hi I’m Thai.” He said running over to greet
her.
“Shelby, I like your pajamas.”
“Thanks.”

12. “Would you go on a date with me?” he asked.
“Ah, you aren’t a legacy founder searching
for a spouse are you?”
“OWBC”
“Look, I’d love to go on a date, but just a
date or two. I’m not spouse material.”
“I understand.” Thai smiled.

13. Thai and Shelby had two dream dates before
she said good night.

14. Thai sighed. Dates were fun but he was no
closer to owning his club Colouriffic.

15. Finally his luck had changed! He dug up a
treasure chest. He could now afford his club!
As soon as it was built he could get a job is
the Slacker career. It was his LTW to be a
professional party guest.

16. A/N: I totally forgot the most important part
of any OWBC. The flamingos! Well I guess
late is better than never…

17. When with the treasure chest, Colouriffic
didn’t have much going for it.

18. One way to help his fledging business was to
get to know the women around town. Marisa
was more than willing to go on a date with
him.

19. Uma too, but still no one he wanted to spend
the rest of his life with.

20. All the dates kept his spirit and mood up. He
was able to stay at Coloriffic much longer
than he intended. He went on two with Jill
Smith.

21. “Nice shirt.” Amanda Carlson smiled as she
greeted Thai.
“Thanks.” He grinned back, “Want to go on a
date?”
“Sure why not?”

22. After Amanda left, Thai couldn’t stop thinking
about her. He ended his date Marylena early,
after he realized he would rather see Amanda
again.

23. Hans missed Thai badly while he was away.
Amanda was working so Thai killed time by
teaching Hans to play dead. Though Charlie
thought Thai was a bit nuts.

24. Amanda came right over when Thai called a
second time.
“I was hoping you would call.” She admitted
shyly.
“I wanted to see you again.”

25. “Move in with me.” He said.
“You mean it?” Amanda said her face growing
excited.
“Yes.”
“Then yes, I will move in.”

26. Thai took Amanda inside. Marisa came by
and listened for a second. She sighed, she
had a chance and blew it. Roses felt corny
now that Thai had chosen another. She put
the blooms back in her pocket and trudged
off into the night.

27. Amanda woke up before Thai and snuck into
his small bathroom. Their small bathroom.
She smiled and let her hair down.
A/N: Amanda Carlson-Fortune-LTW Business
Tycoon.

28. Hans was getting a little ripe. Thai tried to
give him a bath. The dog kept jumping out of
the tub. At he smelled a little better.

29. While Thai was taming his dog, Amanda
poked around his garden. She swore that
there had been only three flamingos the
night before. His tomatoes were looking kind
of wimpy. She found his watering can.

30. “Roll over Hans, Roll over.” Amanda cheered
the stubborn dog. She saw the intelligence
in his face, but he seemed to be challenging
her. She’d wear him down.

31. Thai brought her to Colouriffic. They used
some her money to add a little coffee bar to
the club.

32. He drew her outside.
“Amanda I know it’s sudden.”
“Hey, legacy types can’t afford to wait.” She
teased.

33. “Just shut it and say yes.” He grinned.
“Yes!”

34. They exchanged rings right in front of the
club. Amanda didn’t want to wait any longer
than he did.

35. Needless to say they didn’t stay at work
every long. A soft lullaby played in the
background.

36. Amanda fell asleep, Thai went out the
garden. Weeds were determined to smother
his tomatoes.

37. Amanda unpacked her inventory. Only a few
small things from her townie apartment.
There was a perfect place for her fish tank in
the living room.

38. She sold some things and bought herself an
easel. Their house didn’t have much to do in
it. Apparently he dug or played with Hans in
his spare time.

39. Which he was doing now. Amanda held back
a laugh. Hans was as stubborn with Thai as
he was with her.
“Come on Hans, just shake already!” Thai
demanded.
Hans just wagged his tail.

40. Amanda poked Thai awake the next morning.
“Are you always up so early?” He asked.
“Yes.” She laughed, “You’re a bit of a night
owl.”
“Well there’s no use going back to sleep.”
Thai said looking sideways at her.
“No there isn’t.” She grinned.

41. Thai got up a short while later, feeling rather
pleased with himself. He scooped up the
newspaper. His club was doing well enough it
was time to look in for his dream job. He
had heard the lullaby. Amanda was pregnant
they would need the extra money.

42. No luck in the paper. Thai headed up to work,
leaving Amanda at home with Hans. He
installed an actual bar. The coffee bar was
nice, but nothing beat a juice bar.

43. He sighed, business was slow. It always took
so long to get a business going.

44. The bar was a draw to the few people that
came in.

45. Thai changed tactics and concentrated on his
sales. Peter Sims gave him enough sales to
make Rank 4.

46. He used the money to buy Amanda a robotics
bench. She wanted to open up her own
shop. Selling robots. It wouldn’t be a bad
thing to have a servo around the house too.

47. Thai couldn’t resist tinkering on him himself.
The toy robot turned out rather nice.

48. A new day brought a new day of work.
Business picked up, the poker table was a hit.

49. Thai splurged and bought a DJ booth. Now
his patrons could dance. His club was
coming together nicely.

50. He stayed a new more hours and headed
home. They now had enough money to
make over the house.

51. Amanda’s pregnancy finally revealed itself.
She hadn’t felt sick at all thankfully. She left
a rose out for Thai.

52. She stayed out of the house for Reno Day.
Thai’s house was small and cozy for a small
family. Only the bare essentials and her fish
tank. But they had enough money to change
all that.

53. The front could also use a face lift.

54. A couple hours later and they actually had
windows. A gravel path lead to the garden
and the hedges perfectly trimmed.

55. The inside was a riot of color.

58. Thai used their spiffy new computer to check
for jobs. Finally he found a position in the
slacker career.

59. Amanda claimed the kitchen. The sim fast
tasted delicious.

60. They hit the hay in their brand new bed.
Amanda snuggled closer to Thai. It was
nice to have a furnished house.

61. Thai left for his first day of work.

62. Amanda spent the morning entertaining
herself by tiding up and cooking her kitchen.

63. Thai came home with a promotion. A small
bonus helped make up for the expenses of
Reno Day.

64. After a nap, Thai couldn’t resist the robot
bench. Next week they would open up a
shop for Amanda.

65. The week went by so fast. Thai squeezed
Amanda gently. A new home with a new
family. He wondered who was next in Pony’s
little experiment.
