Date # 2 - Bailey Bratz

Well, it appears that Chance is improving somewhat, in this whole 'dating' process.



This time it's the turn of Bailey Bratz. A very nice, helpful, family oriented Sim who, unusually for an Aries, prefers to stay in the background a lot.

But, it appears, she's got the same murderous tendencies as Bridget, as one of her wants is to see the ghost of a certain (female this time) townie Sim.

Ohh, errr.... How on earth did these get through the net? We're pretty certain that every Sim that applied, was carefully screened. Guess poor Chance might just need the help of a couple of bodyguards during this challenge (and I know of a few that'll fit the bill quite nicely).

Well, on with the show.

Bailey, bless her, was busy working out, when Chance approached her about a date. He'd heard that her favourite pastime was Music & Dance, and thought, why not take her dancing and dining?



And there's no better hang out than that of Crypt 'O' Night nightclub. Notorious hang out for vampires and such.



And to be honest, I've never seen my film crew volunteer so quickly for this assignment. I have a sneaking suspicion that they're all eager and keen to catch a glimpse of a vampire or two.

Hmm, only time will tell. Perhaps tonight, we'll be lucky.

Well, as soon as they arrived, Chance, in his excitement, completely forgot about Bailey and headed straight for the bar. But then, after a few discreet coughs from the camera crew, he stopped just in time and turned his attention on her.



Smooth move there buster!!!

He told her that he'd seen the weather report, and it looked as though it was going to be a stormy night.



Sadly, that's not what Bailey was expecting to hear and told him bluntly so. So Chance retorted back very gruffly that that was what was on his mind.




And brought the relationship bars down.
Way to go lover boy.

Now, how on earth was he going to make this evening an unforgettable one, especially after that bad start?

Simple.

He asked Bailey if she'd mind playing rock, paper, scissors.
And they did, with amazing results. It definitely broke the ice there.




Just then, both stomachs started to grumble, so Chance decided it was time for a nice meal.

And that's when we had our first surprise of the evening.

Ambrose walked in.




Who, you may ask?

This guy...... alone. No idea what the story is there. Perhaps he needed some 'alone' time. But this isn't about him, it'ss about these two love birds, Chance and Bailey.

Not only that, there was another surprise visitor. And the camera crew were all over him like a bad rash!!!!

Wrath... the Blind King!!!




Who???

A character from a series of vampire books called collectively, the Black Dagger Brotherhood.



He didn't look too happy that Chance had muscled in, bribing the concierge with some flash cash, but he waited graciously anyway. Only to be told that all the tables had been taken.
So he sat scowling at the bar, getting himself drunk all evening.




Anywho, back to our couple.




The tables indoors had all been taken, so they were led outside onto the veranda.



Whilst they were looking at the menus....

.... the heavens opened and it poured down on them.
So Chance was right!!! But he wisely kept his mouth shut.

Instead, whilst he waited for Bailey to make her order, he took a sip of water and gazed upon her.




Is this a sign.... perhaps?

The waiter took the order and brought back some champagne, to which Chance toasted Bailey to a wonderful evening.




Then he blew her a kiss.




She beamed all over her face!!!!!




Sadly, for some unknown reason, the waiter placed the meals on the table, but the plates vanished without a trace. So, not letting this ruin the moment, Chance invited Bailey onto the dance floor.




Over the din, he requested some House Mix music, and the DJ happily obliged, spinning the decks expertly.



Up until then, Bailey had been quiet and reserved. But as soon as the music started, she was full of energy, dancing and gyrating and generally enjoying herself.

She had so much energy, that Chance couldn't keep up and ended up standing watching her, amazed at how she was having so much fun on the now, crowded danced floor.



Out of breath, and slightly flushed, she sought out Chance, who asked her if she'd like a small memento of the evening. A picture of the two of them, goofing about.



She happily agreed and the two of them squashed into the photo booth. (and yes, I've been warned about those things, they're a HUGE magnet for ACR and woohoo).

Afterwards, Chance gave Bailey one of his infamous back rubs, after Bailey complained about a shoulder spasm. He definitely looked happy about doing that one!!!!



They slow danced briefly.



Then he gave her a gentle hug.





She returned the favour by congratulating him on his vast knowledge on Couples Counselling.
O-kay.

And then they ended the date with a passionate kiss.



Bailey declared that she'd thoroughly enjoyed her date with Chance, scoring it as a DREAM DATE!!!!! And couldn't wait to try that one again.



And so endeth date #2.

Next time:

Melinda Serroa

Is the Pressure Getting too Much?

With the rumours about the girls sneaking away from Chance's fortified mansion, (just kidding, they're free to come and go as they wish). And the fact that a hot new guy is causing a mighty ruckus in the adjoining neighbourhood, could this mean that Chance is losing his 'shine', his, 'novelty'?

After all, they're living in a fish bowl environment, with cameras placed in practically every single room, with very little privacy around. So it's obvious that somebody is wanting to be 'out' and escape the prying eyes of the public.

So far, we've had Bailey, Bridget, Melinda and Melanie, all escaping the confines of the mansion. And Chance himself, has managed to elude all these hopeful young ladies too. Sadly, that freedom was short lived though, as Melinda was the one to draw the short straw and become the group's 'unofficial' search party.

So.... following the old saying 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'. Chance decides to bring his complete entourage down to Pleasantview to see this Darius guy once and for all. After all, it's only 'polite' to crash (or in this case, invite himself) a party.



At the time, Darius was completely oblivious to the fact that his house was about to be overrun by a group of amorous ladies. He was a little 'busy' himself, entertaining his own guests.


Let's just say... nothing here and let the pictures do the talking.


Man, when that guy gets busy... he certainly gets 'busy'.


So, whilst Darius was *ahem*, otherwise occupied, Chance and his whole 'entourage', cameras and all, all decided to hang around Darius' front lawn.

It's there that we start seeing the cracks beginning to show with Chance. As everybody is standing creating 'good thoughts' over our handsome hunk, he takes one sweeping look at one of the ladies and ....

... well...


See for yourself. Not only is he getting all hot and bothered over a completely unaware Averyelle....



....Chance has gone gaga over Sera, bless her. And give her credit, she's blissfully unaware of his gaping jaw and drooling mouth. Let's just hope that by the end of this challenge, we don't need the men in white coats. After all, this is a 'Bachelor' challenge and NOT an asylum *gulps*

I hope.

Not only that, panther-like, another female, determined to stake her claim, starts to prowl in. Firstly she stands back and quietly observes and judging by her face, she's not happy with the way things are going.



Her heart is fluttering wildly over Darius as he finally makes his appearance.
Wanton hussy!!!!


But, and this is a BIG BUT. She's eager to gain that coveted prize once and for all. The chance of a lifetime to marry Chance and live happily ever after.

So, she brazenly approaches, measuring the distance and marking her territory by flirting outrageously with Chance in public. To which, with her hypnotic powers, he is definitely entranced.


And to finish off her possession, she leaps into his arms.



O-kay young lady.... it's about time to stop hogging Chance and give others the opportunity to monopolize him throughout this challenge.

*ahem*

It appears that at least one of our females is exceptionally territorial. This looks like trouble in the Chance mansion. But, as we're only there as impartial observers, then alas, we cannot do anything but watch as the drama unfolds.

Bailey Jumps on the Bandwagon Now

After hearing about Bridget's adventures with Darius, Bailey decided enough was enough and snuck out of the mansion to see what all the fuss was about.

She was so keen on hearing all about this 'hot' new guy, that she too, forgot to take off her Masquerade Ball mask.

So, as it was a lovely sunny day, she went for a little stroll, taking in her surroundings, and ended up at Pleasantview.

Hovering expectantly outside Darius' house, she took a deep breath and inhaled all the lovely aromas around her.




Naturally, like a bee around a honey pot, Darius was really keen on meeting her. But sadly, as soon as she opened her mouth, what came out.... wasn't exactly what Darius wanted to hear.

She started bragging about the 'challenge' and enthused about Chance.

Which, unfortunately, bored Darius to bits.




But that wasn't the end of it.

Once she got inside, she met up with what I'd regard as 'Miss Psycho Bitch', with a really odd dress sense. (perhaps a follower of Goopy's fashion parade???)

One minute she was nice. Chatting amiably, laughing and sharing jokes.



But then she turned evil.

Darius made some toasties and both he and Bailey sat down to eat them and chat. He cordially invited Miss PB too, but she just stood there..... glaring at Darius.



O-kay


As soon as Darius' back was turned, she launched into Bailey, throwing her off guard and making her cry.



At this point, the camera crew were about to step in and defend Bailey, but were shocked when she suddenly started showing some inner strength of her own.



And hit back.

HARD!!!



You go girl!!! Show her who's boss!!!

Still royally ticked off with Miss PB, Bailey decided to calm herself down by using Darius' computer to search for anything to do with Sports.



Unfortunately....

... she broke the computer.

So, without further ado, she made her quick goodbyes and fled, before Darius could put the blame on her.

Smart girl.

As for Miss PB....

Well, let's just say, she's another 'notch' on Darius' bedpost.

Bailey.. girl.... you made a really lucky escape there.
