Chapter 44-. . . but no cigar
Simone: You're not mad at me, are you?
Faraday: Nah. It's not your fault, it's silly game mechanics. I'll just need to wait a bit longer to find the one, that's all. Like most people.
Betabee: Dynamo! Where are you going?
Dynamo: I'm retiring. I'll have a much better life in an old dogs home, with other dogs and plenty of carers and lots of walkies . . .
Betabee: Okay then. Have a good retirement.
Dynamo: Thanks. Good luck with the dynasty!
It's that time of year again: Cake sneezing time!
Einstein: I look just like my grandpa!
Betabee: How do you know? You haven't seen what you look like yet!
Einstein: It happens to all men.
In a spectacular turn of events, Einstein has found another hat (and some green hair dye).
His outfits are as stunning as ever.
Einstein: How do I look?
Puzzle: Awesome. Go on Einstein- get the last bits done. Then you can relax and dream as much as you like.
The museum pieces were completed . . .
. . . and it was Einstein's turn to eat ambrosia.
Einstein: Hmm. Tastes like raktajino with a hint of pan-galactic gargleblaster.
Puzzle: Yay! You did it!
And the now-traditional dishwasher shot. 5 down, 3 to go folks!
Betabee: Who's this?
Faraday: This is Samantha. I forget her last name, but she was in my class at school and so is probably significantly younger than Simone.
Betabee: And have you told Simone that she's moving in yet?
Faraday: ...
Such pretty eyes. This is why you should save custom eye colours!
Samantha: So Faraday tells me we'll get married and have a little girl. When will this happen?
Betabee: Once his old girlfriend dies.
Samantha: What?!
Betabee: NO no no no no!
Samantha: Don't worry, I'm just turning adult.
Betabee: Phew! (takes a few moments to slow heart rate)
Simone: What do you mean, you moved in a younger woman already! Do I mean nothing to you?
Faraday: Well, no. But the dynasty has to keep going. It can't stop for you, I'm sorry! Do you expect me to wait until I'm an old man before finding the mother of the next generation simply to not hurt your feelings?
Betabee: I'll try and make it up to you later, Simone. I'm sorry you've had to go through this, but otherwise this is going to take forever. I've got things to do.
In the meanwhile, Faraday and Samantha's relationship blossomed.
They even got engaged, which is further than Faraday and Simone ever got. I really hope it works out this time . . .
Faraday: I wish . . .
Faraday: Well that didn't work out. I need a haircut.
With his hairstyle back and most of the political career under his belt, we now have a waiting game on our hands. Will Simone die before it's too late for Samantha to have children? Or will Faraday have to go looking again? I sincerely hope not . . .
