10 dates. 20 grilled cheese sandwiches. 1 wedding.

1. ANASTASIA (V.O.): So I got a call from the college kid from the
other day. You know, the one that I wet my pants in front of, in
public?
ANASTASIA (V.O.): As it turns out, that works for him.

2. ANASTASIA (V.O.): I mean, it really works for him. Really really
works for him.
ANASTASIA (V.O.): So I figured, what the system crash? I said
yes to Chris.

3. MELANIE (V.O.): I’m making Grandma’s Comfort Soup. That
wasn’t even physically possible to make until recently, so it’s got to
be a new meal.
MELANIE (V.O.): But I didn’t get a memory of making it, so I
guess it doesn’t count? That doesn’t seem fair, but I guess rules are
rules.
ANASTASIA (V.O.): I had… a word with the judges. Maybe
several words. They agreed it was a new meal and that we should
get the point.

4. Hello! Welcome back, at long last, to 100 Days of Awesome. There
has been writer’s strike after writer’s strike, and I’ve forgotten what
season we’re on.
Five? Is it five? Let’s say it is.
So without further ado, here’s Season 5, Episode 1 of 100 Days of
Awesome!

5. MELANIE (V.O.): I am so excited! Dad said I could do this
challenge too! Ten dates with ten different people! This is going to
be fun!
PONG (V.O.): Only because she’s the only one in the house that
isn’t married. And you do NOT show her face, capice?

6. MELANIE (V.O.): So my first date was with Rosemarie from
school, because she was here already. And we have matching
outfits, which is cool. And I think she has a little bit of a crush on
me already. And she’s nice and all, but I don’t really think I like
girls. Boys are better. (quickly) To date, I mean. For me.

7. PONG: No. Just no. Get out!
MELANIE (V.O.): I don’t know why Dad didn’t like Stephen. I
though he was pretty cool. Well, at first.
STEPHEN BENSON: Whatever, man. Get that camera outta my
face! Don’t put me on TV! I got warrants!
MELANIE (V.O.): Warrants are not cool.

8. MELANIE (V.O.): This date is with Ivan Shankel, who I’m pretty
sure is some kind of relative?
IVAN (V.O.): Third cousin on one side and third cousin once
removed on the other side.
MELANIE (V.O.): So not close enough to rule out, exactly, but we
just had no chemistry.
IVAN (V.O.): Negative bolts. But she’s still cool as a friend.

9. MELANIE (V.O.): The other Steven was great, though. One bolt!
STEVEN MCAULEY: I gotta say, for a blind date, you are looking
good!
MELANIE (V.O.): Squeeeeeeee! My first bolt!

10. MELANIE (V.O.) (puzzled): What did I think of who?
GORDON NOTT: – and that’s what makes it the best thing ever!
MELANIE (stifling a yawn): Sorry, what? I wasn’t listening.

11. MELANIE (V.O.): Who, Pong? No, I didn’t like him at all. I mean,
it’s a little weird that he has the same name as my dad, but he was
just plain weird. I mean, he seemed like the kind of guy who would
follow you to the bathroom and just stare at you while you pee!

12. MELANIE (V.O.): I think my favorite date was with Juan Harris,
though. Two bolts!
MELANIE (V.O.) (dejectedly): But I didn’t earn us the point. I only
managed seven dates. I guess I shouldn’t have actually talked to
any of them. Earning points is super hard! (sigh) I don’t know how
Mom did on the community lot thing. I bet it was hard.

13. REBECCA (V.O.): It was cheat at chess. Easy.
REBECCA: Look! It’s a random group of strangers watching our
every move and making up stories about us!
CATHERYNNE: What?!
REBECCA: Hee hee hee! (moves pieces)

14. CHRISTOPHER (V.O.): Yeah, I’m fitting in pretty well, I think. I
mean, it’s kind of awkward actually, being younger than one of my
stepdaughters, but I think I’m getting along okay with everyone. I
can’t say that I was happy with my transition outfit, though. I mean,
it’s all “mature stepdad” and all, but it’s just kind of too old, you
know? I’m mean, I’m only 23.

15. CHRISTOPHER (V.O.): So I went and bough some better clothes. I
mean, it was a free point for a going to a community lot, so why
not? I bought my wife a little something while I was there, too.
(pause) Doesn’t that sound great? I mean, “my wife”! I sound like a
grown-up! (laughs)

16. PONG: Augh, my eyes! I need eye bleach! Forget that, I need brain
bleach!
ANASTASIA: Ah, shaddup. You just wish my sister looked this
good. (shakes rear end) I do a lot for an outfit like this, don’t I?
PONG: (chokes, gasps, and runs away)

17. PONG: I don’t want to talk about it. I don’t even want to think
about it.
PONG: Don’t you have a teenage girl to exploit or something?

18. MELANIE: I got an A+! An A+! I earned us a point! And I got on
TV again! Woot woot!

19. GEORGIANA: I’m so excited! I get to come back home and I have
a dad now! A real dad!

20. GEORGIANA: It feels great to be graduated from college! Don’t
you think?
CHRISTOPHER: Yeah, graduating’s cool.
GEORGIANA: And not only did you graduate, but now you’re a
stepdad! I think you’re a great stepdad so far.
CHRISTOPHER: Well, thank you!
GEORGIANA: Hopefully you’ll be a grandad soon! I bet you’ll be
great at that too!

21. CHRISTOPHER (V.O.): What does she mean, “grandad”? I mean,
a stepdad’s one thing. But a grandad?
CHRISTOPHER (V.O.): I mean, grandad?

22. CHRISTOPHER (V.O.): So, yeah, it was great when the
community lot task turned out to be “Eat 20 Grilled Cheese
Sandwiches.” I mean, I like grilled cheese.
ANASTASIA (V.O.): It’s one of the things we bonded over.
CHRISTOPHER (V.O.): She ticks every turn-on box I’ve got. I
mean, grilled cheese and gray hair and golden sh – (cuts off,
muffled, as if a hand has just clamped over his mouth)
ANASTASIA (V.O.): Let’s just say I’m awesome and leave it at
that, yes?

23. CHRISTOPHER (V.O.): So anyway, it was really great to get away
from that, We figured ten sandwiches each makes twenty. I mean,
one person eating twenty, that’s not really practical, but sharing the
load is better and faster and healthier. I got my ten out of the way
just in time.

24. ANASTASIA (V.O.) (angrily): They made us leave too early! I was
at nine and a half sandwiches! I totally could have finished that last
half sandwich!

25. CHRISTOPHER: The only huff problem with all huff that cheese is
that huff it goes straight to huff your middle. I huff mean, the
wedding’s huff today. Gotta look huff puff good.

26. ANASTASIA (V.O): No, I didn’t cry during the wedding.
ANASTASIA (V.O): No, I’m not crying now, either. You’re crying.
ANASTASIA (V.O): Oh, shut up.

27. GEORGIANA (V.O.): I thought that I’d be the one to get the
memory of marrying a rich sim. I mean, Paul’s family is loaded.
PAUL (V.O.): Well, my adopted family is. I’m not. And my birth
family isn’t.* Maybe that’s why?
GEORGIANA (V.O.): Or is it because they’re loaded, but we’re
more loaded?
PAUL (V.O.) (with interest): Are you really? Anyway, we got the
memory, and that’s what counts.
*See The Undergraduates, Already in Progress #55-64 , and The Jack Point
Home for Pedestrian Playables, all available on my Dreamwidth.

28. PAUL: It’s exiting to be able to contribute, definitely. I’m looking
foreward to really being part of the family. And the show, too, of
course.
PAUL: This is going to be awesome.

29. Note from esmeiolanthe: I am not sure if I should count the points
for the community lot task Eat 20 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. I
sent Chris and Anastasia home at 1:30 am, with 19.5 sandwiches
eaten, because I thought that was the 24 hour mark. However, they
got home at 3:30 am, which means that they must have left home
sometime between 3 am and 3:30 am. That means that they really
had at least another hour on the community lot, and I am 100%
positive that Anastasia could have eaten that remaining half-a-
sandwich in an hour.
So my question to you is: Is it fair to count the point for that task?
If you say that it is, I’ll add it in next round. Let me know!
