As this is the first time Artie hasn't just made someone marry him upon reaching a new town, we decided to have a party.
Alexander: "Have some nectar Artie!"
Artie: "You seem to be getting everything but my mouth!"
Artie: "Here let me show you how it's done."
Alexander: "Hey! No. Aww man. Why'd you have to go and do that for."
Voice from the pink limo: "Someone said this party was going to need a little entertainment."
Rica: "Obviously ladies, you've never met Artie or you wouldn't think we needed more entertainment."
Artie: "Shut it woman! I'm dancing with Sugar Free and Cherie Pie."
Rica: "I see that."
Chrissie Landgraab: "What's with all the women at this party?"
Rica: "I have no idea.."
Cheyenne: "Ugh."
Rica: "Now I know you weren't a part of the party. Did you go on the spin machine again?"
Cheyenne: "No. I think Artie did something to the wedding cake been like this all day."
Rica: "Ut oh. "
Cheyenne: "What?"
Rica: "Nuffin.."
Alexander: "Hey look at what I got."
Rica: "Well you have wanted to get one since you maxed it out."
Alexander: "Yeah but I wasn't entirely certain they existed. I guess they do. I'm taking this down to work tomorrow to show it off to the lads."
Cheyenne: "Aww Nooboo."
Rica: "Why are you in your formalwear?"
Cheyenne: "I changed after I got sick and then I just changed again."
Rica: "I see that. Congratulations!"
Cheyenne: "You knew this would happen didn't you?"
Rica: "Who me? Of course not."
Rica: "Hey what's that?"
Buzz: "Cheyenne told me about the baby and I had to come in here and paint this right away."
Rica: "It's…. fluffy."
Buzz: "I know. Maybe we can find one of these for the nooboo to play with."
Rica: "Hey Wow. You actually did it. You've found 20 celestial bodies."
Artie: "Of course I did it. I'm awesome."
Rica: "So what did you name this one?"
Artie: -sigh- "Agnes."
Rica: "Does Christin know about Agnes?"
Artie: "Yes and she totally gets it. As soon as I was done telling her, she told me about this faerie that told her that this firefly over in the plains knew this would happen and that it would all turn out ok."
Rica: "O..k. As long as you're happy."
Artie: "Yep. Now to start thinking about that chess challenge and the skill challenge."
Both Alexander and Patricia have reached that point where every day is a blessing for them so they spend time together as often as they can.
Artie: "Buzz come here and let me tell you about the logic behind feeding the baby on the floor versus in a high chair."
Buzz: "Ok."
Patricia: "Was that noise something the cats did?"
Rica: "No It was Cheyenne being awesome and maxing out her cooking skill."
Patricia: "No. I think it was one of the cats."
Rica: "Good job Cheyenne."
Cheyenne: "Thanks - Can I just relax a little bit now?"
Rica: "Sure. Why not"
Rica: "Wow Hey. Turn on the video games and you all come running."
Christin: "We're all waiting for Buzz and Artie to stop their conversation. They've hit the 20 hour mark."
Rica: "Ahh yeah. That makes sense. Moodlet Manager anyone?"
Artie: -skill Challenge complete: 30 hours Skill Tutoring- "And that's why you had to do more homework in your teen years than when you were a child."
Buzz: "Fascinating but can I go play with my wife's tummy now."
Artie: "Fine.. leave me."
Buzz: "Wahoo!"
Rica: "Of course that was the time for the baby to want to say hello…"
Cheyenne: "Ow. What is this feeling?"
Panic from all corners of the house: "The baby is coming! The baby is coming!"
Rica: "Yeah.. Just head towards the sculpting room for me please. Someone is going to faint out of shock here soon."
Alexander: "Aren't you both neat people? How come I'm the one who has to wash all the dishes."
Artie: "I clean up after myself and so does she. Check with the other people in the house."
Cheyenne (way in the back sculpting room): -heavy breathing- "Owww. How does this really take?"
Cheyenne: -gasp- "The pain is gone. Is it over?"
Rica: "Aww nooboo.."
Artie: "Wait.. Hold it right there.."
-Update cut short-
Artie: "Sorry folks it was a surprise for us and it's going to be a surprise for you guys too. Next time on .. As Artie Turns."
Rica: "Hey. Not even funny mister. Get back here.."
Artie: "Oop.. gotta go.. " -waves the picture around- "You can't catch me. You can't catch me."
