After work, Jarvis is feeling a little bored. He decides it's time to pay Henry a visit. Maybe breaking his marriage up will alleviate the monotony (not his words. Jarvis' vocabulary is. not that big).

"Hey, Henry's wife, I got news for you, sweetie. You're ugly..."

"I have a name!," Henry's wife retorted. "And if the keyboard god could remember it, I'd remind you of what it is!"

Another Sim casually walked by. "I wish I had some popcorn," he thought.

Henry sat outside, watching his little tv and pretending not to hear the altercation around the corner...

"Are you here to cause trouble, Jarvis? Because I know that's what you're good at. I don't like you spending so much time with Henry."

"I'm just gonna talk to him. In private. Then I'll leave."

"What the fuck are you doing at my house, Jarvis? Leave!"

"What? Your wifey doesn't want in on this too?"

"Ah well. I'll give you a call baby. Talk to you later."

MEANWHILE

Goraldune is closer and closer to reaching her goals.

She invited Cassidy anonymously to hang out with her at a park. "So nice to see you, my pretty!," she gushed.

"Except it's not! You stink! And I will make you pay for going somewhere else for magic!"

"It's not my fault YOUR magic didn't do shit! All I want is a happy family, and I've been gettin screwed over by almost everybody! You stay the hell away from me!"

"Your clothes are hideous," Goraldune snarled.

"Oh that is IT!," Cassidy yelled.

And then they got into a public fight in the park. Where are the police when you need them?

When Goraldune got home, she reflected on the day. She looked forward to finding out the secrets in the tome she'd acquired...

Then she read it voraciously. As soon as she could meet the Reaper's demands, she would get her favor from him...

And Cassidy would rue the day she met Goraldune the Witch! Nye heh heh heh!

[theawkwardsimmer]

The next morning, Andy, the trailer park patriarch, called Daniel outside for a breakfast meeting. He was pissed off. "Hey boy, why are you listenin to that shit music at all hours? You was keepin me awake. And I was already tired from all the woo-hooin with Virginia here."

"Listen here, you uneducated hillbilly! I only listen to the finest music! I'm sorry there's no banjo or beer in any of it, but it's what us non-incest people like!"

"Cain't you at least put on some headphones? All the trailer park could hear that whiny shit!"

"I HAD headphones until your dumb ass snapped them in two! So you brought it on yourself!"

"Do you know what that music says about you? It says...you're a snowflake!"

"So NOW you're making it political?!," Daniel fumed.

"I calls it how I sees it," Andy judged.

"We are both AMERICANS! Free as the bald eagle! There's no reason we should fight over..."

"Oh blah blah, blah. All I hear is more whinin' from the snowflake."

"Do you really wanna fight me, Andy?"

"I'll crush you like a twig!"

Instead of taking it outside, they took it to the kitchen. No need to get the neighbors involved, I guess. Virginia watched with curiosity. She wondered if skinny boy really could take her husband.

After the fight, both men look pretty satisfied.

"I didn't know you had it in ya, boy!," Andy grinned.

"Me neither!," Daniel smiled. The fight gave him an idea...

He showed up at Cassidy's place uninvited, still looking confident.

"I just had this conversation...and fist fight...about politics, and it made me think about FREEDOM. Freedom from oppression...and unfit parents...," he said excitedly.

"What the hell are you talking about, Daniel?"

"Why don't you ever invite me over to see my son, Cass?"

"I never said you weren't welcome, Daniel," Cassidy replied cautiously.

"Oh, so that means I'm welcome right now? Right this minute?"

"Sweet," Daniel said, looking towards Cassidy's trailer. "Oh Mason! Daddy's here to see you!"

Cassidy grimaced. "Oh. I wasn't actually ready for guests right now but..."

"Oh lookee. Here's my boy. Outside unattended on the ground. What a surprise..."

"And what do we have going on in here? Do you never turn this radio off? Can you even afford your electric bill?"

"It's not filthy in here...but it's not very big. And Mason is STILL sleeping outside..."

"Hey little dude. Where's YOUR dad?"

"Daddy Jarvis!," Trevor said enthusiastically.

"Hmm...maybe this is a good thing? Jarvis doesn't show this much interest in Trevor..."

"Daddy smell wike smoke! An' him teef are wellow! He says I be wike him is one day!"

Oh my God. My son is living in a hell hole, Daniel thought, outwardly smiling but inwardly panicking.

"Don't you worry, son," Daniel said soothingly.

I'll think of a way to get you away from this place.

[theawkwardsimmer]

Daniel cooked for the others living in the trailer park. He wasn't that happy about it, considering he's the only one living there not related to any of them...and thoughts of his son floated through his head. He kept thinking about his own child, sleeping outside in the yard in a bassinet. How can he let Cassidy raise him?

He went inside to eat. And he wondered how they ended up with hot dogs when he was roasting corn.

He started thinking to himself...He would definitely be a better parent than Cassidy...at least he could put an actual roof over the boy's head!

He turned to Blair, realizing he's being too quiet. "What's up? How's the hot dog?"

"Um...it's a hot dog. Tastes like any other..."

"Fair point!," Daniel said as Blair moved away from him.

"I guess I'll just sit here all alone!," he pretended to lament. Blair gave him a cold stare.

"You'd think I smell bad or something..."

Blair slowly walked back to her seat, feeling awkward.

She sat down reluctantly next to Daniel. He was always doing some stupid thing and then saying, "It was just a joke!" He really annoyed her, and she didn't want to say anything. Then...he farted...

"And for my next magic trick, I'll make her disappear!," Daniel joked as Blair left the room.

[theawkwardsimmer]

Golardune plants a few more things outside in her wild yard. She's really trying hard to get Grimmy to take Cassidy's soul. She was a little annoyed that he wanted to discover more information about ambrosia, which promotes MORE life, but whatever...

"Please, come see me, Grimmy!," she begs, trying to summon him.

The Reaper appears outside, but he's not too happy today...

"I'm not really in the mood, witch. My girlfriend moved to another realm..."

"Oh, you're suffering from a little heartbreak? We've all been there, Grimmy..."

"There, there. She was never good enough for you anyway," Goraldune said, hoping she sounded convincing.

"Oh my dear Lenore!," the Reaper wailed. It looked like Goraldune was going to have to try a new approach. If she didn't cheer the reaper up soon, she may not be able to get what she wanted...

"Er...why not try smiling?," Goraldune suggested lamely.

"Dance with me, Grimmy!"

"I don't know if I can...but..."

"Come on, man! Feel the spooky groove!"

"Hey, yeah! I DO feel it!"

After the dance, they shared a warm hug. "Thank you, mortal witch. I didn't expect YOU to care about my woes!

When Grim left, their friendship bar was much higher. Goraldune had successfully manipulated Death himself! Only time will tell if she'll be able to convince him to kill Cassidy for her...

[theawkwardsimmer]

Last on Goraldune's list is Davy McPaul. He appeared to be a woodsman, so maybe he could actually tell her more about Ambrosia.

She wandered in without knocking...

"Well hello there," Davy said, walking up behind Goraldune. "And who might you be?"

Goraldune jumped a little bit, slightly startled. "It's rude to sneak up on people!"

"Tell me what you know about Ambrosia, or be cursed, my handsome!"

"Why do you want to know about such a rare thing?," Davy said. "And who let you in here?"

"I go where I please! Now give me the information I demand, or suffer!"

"You either leave this place, or I'll take you by force," Davy growled.

Goraldune smiled to herself later on. She'd left Davy's home peacefully, but not before pickpocketing some notes he'd clearly marked "Ambrosia research". What a rube!

[theawkwardsimmer]

Goraldune stood awkwardly in Fawn's friend, Anastasia's yard. She really didn't want to climb up there...

But reluctantly, she did. And she wasn't too happy about it...

And there she found Anastasia, sitting on a couch. In a tree. Ugh.

"Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my tree?," Anastasia demanded, hands on her hips.

"I'm here to ask YOU about ambrosia!," Goraldune said, giving cheesy finger guns. But at least she got to the point...

"You mean that stuff that's supposed to make you live forever or live longer or something like that?"

Goraldune started to text Grimmy this new information when...

Anastasia suddenly beat her up! "Get out of my house, you nasty witch!," she screamed.

Goraldune left the treehouse, aching and vowing to curse this Anastasia bitch. These sims don't know who they're messing with! One more sim to visit for the research...

[theawkwardsimmer]

The next day, it was time to start Goraldune's research on Ambrosia.

"This looks like as good a spot as any to begin my gardening endeavors," she said to herself as she observed her new plant.

I see lots of green leafy things...Goraldune wrote in her little notepad.

How do I work this cursed contraption?

That's enough researching my own plants! Goraldune beamed. But now she had to do the part she really hated. Leave her house to ask other sims what they know about Ambrosia.

She stalked her way into Fawn's yard...

"Listen here, missy. I have helped you out a lot. I don't want to be here. I just want to ask you a question..."

"So uh...lemme know anything you can about Ambrosia. You're a hippy dippy type, aren'tcha? You know about plants..."

"Actually, I don't really...but I can look it up for you."

"Hmmm....it says here that Ambrosia is an ingredient used in gourmet recipes."

"Are you serious? I could have looked that up myself! How USELESS!"

"I have another hippie friend living nearby, why don't you go ask her? She lived in a giant treehouse. You can't miss it."

"YES!," Goraldune laughed evilly. "NOW we're getting somewhere!"

Fawn laughed too. "You're really weird!"

Goraldune left Fawn's place with a new lead, but feeling kind of embarrassed.

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the most socially savvy of them all?"

Fawn, off in her own world, "I wouldn't mind hanging out in a sunny field somewhere..."

[theawkwardsimmer]

Goraldune lived alone in her dark witch mansion. And that was how she liked it. She hated people, and the only thing they were good for was tricking with her spells!

And speaking of tricks, she'd had someone on her mind a lot lately. Cassidy Greenbriar! She'd insulted her spells, and now she would pay. She'd decided to summon Death himself, and ask him for a deal. She'd recently obtained an old music player said to be able to summon him...

"This should be easy! I don't even think it requires a spell. All I have to do is...click this option. Whatever that means..."

"That was anticlimactic!," Goraldune commented.

"What did you expect? Flashing lights? Smoke? I'm tired, okay."

"And I need to know what you want. I'm busy, you know."

"Well, I need you to do me a favor, pretty please?"

"Well, there's only so much I can do...," Death hesitated.

"I need you to take the soul from that snooty Cassidy Greenbriar!"

"Well, I'll think about it."

"Really? You will?," Goraldune beamed. This was easy!

"But I'm really not supposed to..."

"I guess I could help you if you do a favor for me first..."

"Oh, come on! I'm not that kind of witch anymore! My kinky days are OVER!"

"I could turn you into a frog!," Goraldune threatened.

"Sigh. No, that's not what I mean. I want you to find out more about ambrosia for me..."

"Oh! Well why didn't you just say so?"

I can't believe she thought I wanted...!!

"I'm gonna head out now," Death said, his hands on his hips.

"I have another call. Make sure you find out as much as you can about ambrosia, got it? See ya!"

With the Reaper gone, Goraldune laughed to herself evilly. This was amazingly easy! All she had to do was go out of her house and...wait a minute!

"I have to leave my house!"

[theawkwardsimmer]

And just like that, Mason Greenbriar was born. He had no idea what he'd been born into, but he had a smile on his face.

Daniel sees his baby...asleep...outside. What had he done? Was this what he really wanted for his child?

"Hey little dude. I'm your dad," he said, holding Mason in his arms.

Today was also the day that Trevor aged up from infant to toddler.

"Why haven't I seen my son more often?," Jarvis said, storming in.

"Well, you never even ask about him, so..."

Fawn washed the dishes and said nothing...

"This is bullshit!," Jarvis complained as Cassidy went into the other room to get Trevor.

"Oh shut up and look happy," Fawna said, whipping out her phone to take a picture of the birthday cake.

Trevor was a disgusting mess before aging up.

But he became an adorable disgusting toddler.

"That's my boy!," Jarvis said wistfully as he ate a leftover salad he found in the fridge. That's when Cassidy kicked him and everyone else out of the house so she could go to work and send the kids to daycare...

When she came home, she'd gotten a raise!

But who the hell kicked over her trashcan?!

[theawkwardsimmer]

Cassidy played her guitar anxiously as she waited for this strange man to show up. She didn't know how he would react to dating a sim who was already a mother, and a mother who was pregnant again to boot!

He showed up, just as Fawn promised. So Cassidy put her guitar down and asked him to sit with her. "I'm very passionate about music!," she told him immediately.

"I'm very passionate about using music in war as a torture method," he joked. Cassidy didn't really get it. But he sure was handsome!

He smiled as he went in to use the restroom...

But gave the side eye when she wasn't looking. Something seemed strange here...

Davy left, seemingly in a good mood...but then Cassidy went to give Trevor his bath and...she went into labor!

As Cassidy moaned in her room in pain, so many things went through her mind. How would she care for two children? Would she be a single mother forever? Or would she and her children die in this trailer?

[theawkwardsimmer]

Fawn has come to visit. She thinks it was stupid of Cassidy to get pregnant again, because it was, but she's still gonna support her friend.

Meanwhile, Cassidy fixes the broken toilet yet again, when she hears Fawn knocking at the door.

"Hey, Fawn! I haven't seen you since you told me I'm making a mistake yesterday..."

"I'm sorry. How's the bean coming along?"

"I'm miserable. Being pregnant is miserable..."

"Well, I have just the medicine for you. It's Davy, from that Green Thumb club of yours, and I'm sending him over to hang out with you tomorrow..."

Cassidy's pregnancy progressed as Fawn left. Her back ached, and she thought it was pretty presumptuous of her friend to send a man she only kind of knew over, but she wasn't complaining. With all the weird luck she's been having lately, especially with that witch, what could it hurt?

[theawkwardsimmer]

Cassidy wasted no time. About an hour after receiving her magic potion from the wishing well, she invited Daniel to the park. She gave him her biggest smile and offered to him.

"I feel funny," he said, after swallowing it down. "Like...suuuuper ready for some woo-hoo..."

...and so woo-hoo they did. Right in the park observatory...

And afterwards, when she'd gone home, she realized she was having another baby!

"Fawn! I'm so glad you could come over! I have big news!"

"FAWN! I am pregnant with Daniel's BABY!"

"Well...I know you're happy about this dear, but..."

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GONNA DO?! Daniel doesn't even like you! You have no MONEY! Aren't you even a little bit worried?!"

Is Fawn right? Has Cassidy made a huge mistake?! Read on to find out!

[theawkwardsimmer]

The morning after her awful date, Cassidy one up to a broken sink. Thankfully, she could figure out how to fix it herself.

The house was a mess and she was overwhelmed. So after feeding Trevor, she decided to send him off to daycare and meet with her Garden Gnomes club. She hadn't done that in a while.

Everyone gathered together. Daniel had recently joined, and she noticed another new member.

"Why, hello there," he said, warmly greeting her. "My name's Davy. And what's yours?"

"Uh, hi. I'm Cassidy!"

"Well, Cassidy, I'm new around here, I mean in this club, so if there's anything you can teach me about gardening, I'm all ears."

"...oh, okay Davy."

But Cassidy was hardly paying attention to Davy's words, because she noticed a wishing well in the corner. She'd heard all about them and their power to grant wishes. It was probably much better than that old witch's magic...

She started to pretend to be interested in planting near the well, but she was really thinking about her wish...she finally decided...

To wish for romance! The eyes of the face on the well lit up an eerie green, and the darkness from within was illuminated as she tossed her simoleon into its depths.

And the well gave her a magical potion! What will Cassidy use it for?! Will she use it on Daniel? Or will she use it for someone else? Read on to find out!

[theawkwardsimmer]

Cassidy was invited to hang out at the club with Daniel! She brought Moira along too...

"I like the sound of that music!," Cassidy enthused.

But once she got inside, she wasn't so enthused at all...

"You know I hate crowded places! I thought you would consider that when you invited me! Like, maybe it was their slow time or something!"

"But nooo...you think everyone is sociable and cool, just like you!"

Moira and Daniel stared. "What's her problem?," Daniel thought.

"And then when they aren't, it's all yada yada, you're a dork, Cassidy..."

"Hey uh..settle down, Cassidy. Why don't you let me make you a drink?"

So Daniel whipped her up something. But Cassidy wasn't used to alcohol and pretty soon...

"Oh wow, that was...so good. I'm feeling...good! Daniel...your lookin...good!"

Then she took Daniel in her arms. Daniel smelled the alcohol on her breath. "Uh, Cassidy, you're kind of embarrassing me," Daniel protested, as he pulled away.

"I hate to say it, but maybe Moira should take you home!"

Looks like another bad date for Cassidy! Why doesn't one of them just move the hell on? Read on to find out!

[theawkwardsimmer]

Cassidy and Fawn have gone back to the Witch's home! Cassidy doesn't think the spell worked, and she was thinking about maybe asking for help with her fear of crowded places.

"Listen, Miss...Goraldune? I paid your fee in the treasure box, but things are still awkward between Daniel and I."

"Well, dear, you only left about 50 simoleons. Why didn't you mention that you're poor?"

"If you give me more money, I can give you more...sunshine in your life. Can you think of anything you could do to earn some extra cash?"

"I could sell recycled cans!," Cassidy replied with enthusiasm.

"Recycled cans?," she sneered.

"Keeping up this home costs a lot of money."

"If you cannot pay me, I cannot help you! You're lucky I haven't cursed you, you worthless cheapskate!"

Cassidy was shocked and insulted! She couldn't imagine withholding help from someone just because they didn't make a lot of money. She clearly wasn't going to receive any more help from this hag.

What will Cassidy do now? Will she be able to find Trevor a dad without the witch? Will she ever realize that she doesn't need a man in her life to find happiness? Keep reading to find out!

[theawkwardsimmer]

Things were really looking up for Cassidy and stinky little Trevor. Or so it seemed to her...

She finally got her raise...but she still didn't get a lot of hours...yet, she still wanted to date. she decided to send Trevor to daycare since it's free in Sims world and go out to the bluffs with Moira and Daniel.

"Hey baby. Let's get steamy," Daniel said. Cassidy smiled.

"Is the water warmer when you get near me? You like that baby?"

"Not particularly...," Cassidy said.

"Why is the water warm here?! Did somebody take a piss?," Moira exclaimed, swimming up. Daniel closed his eyes in embarrassment.

"Pee is really sterile, you know," Daniel said lamely. Moira obviously wasn't convinced.

"I gotta get outta here!," Daniel said, ditching the gathering.

Realizing her date was a dud, Cassidy took a nap on a stone sledge bench. Taking care of Trevor and then socializing took a lot out of her. What a day!

Will every date end in awkwardness? Did the witch even really help Cassidy? Keep reading to find out!
