Chapter 241

Bun Bun has returned to help with the garden!

She ate a lot of the weeds growing on the crops.

Rylie: "Alright, time to wake up Larry and Bessie and tend to their needs before mine!"

Larry desperately needs a brush after all that... sleeping?

Much better!

And a shear while she's at it.

Rylie: "Do you feel better now, Larry?"

Larry: "Much better, I feel amazing!"

Rylie: "Alright, now to wake up Bessie."

Rylie: "Hey there, girl. You really need a clean, don't you?"

Murphy: "I need a clean, too."

There's a lot of wild bunnies hanging around the lot.

After cleaning Bessie, Rylie decided to milk her.

I wonder how to get high quality milk?

Rylie: "Maybe like this? Make it rain!"

Bessie: "Really?"

Rylie: "This doesn't encourage you to enhance your milk?"

Bessie: "I mean, it does a little!"

Rylie: "Or, maybe you could produce some enRICHed milk?"

Bessie: "I could do that."

Now to feed the chickens. These guys are scary.

Rylie: "Hey, Clara! You wanna play?"

Clara: "Does it look like I wanna play?"

Rylie: "C'mon! Give me a hug!"

Clara: "I don't want a hug."

The rest of the chickens roamed over to the garden.

Larry: "If only I could roam over to the garden."

Marshmallow: "I can roam anywhere I want. Jealous?"

Rylie: "Where did all these weeds come from? I thought the bunnies got rid of them."

Bun Bun: "There's way too many!"

Harvestfest is also upon us, so the gnomes have paid a visit.

There's one problem solved, no more watering the plants.

Marshmallow, what are you doing under the couch?

Marshmallow: "I'm not afraid of anything except for thunderstorms."

Rylie isn't afraid of thunderstorms, that's for sure.

Pupcake: "Would you get inside? There's a thunderstorm!"
Murphy: "But, I wanna play in the rain!"

Murphy: "Mom made me go inside."

Kobe: "Ugh, what did I come home to?!"

Kobe: "I hope I don't get struck by lightning!"

Look who came to visit today! Tyler!

Rylie: "The thunderstorm has finally stopped, and one of the chickens has finally gave me a hug."

Rylie: "It's a Harvestfest miracle."

Rylie: "Hey, the chickens have produced a bunch of eggs, too!"

It's a peaceful night on the Parsons farm.

Ooh, the oversized crops are getting bigger and bigger!

Don't mind me, just admiring the scenery of Henford-on-Bagley.

Ooh, what a wonderful sunrise!

*Rooster call*

Wow, look at the sunrays coming through the window!

Rylie: "It's finally sunny and not raining without the help of the weather machine!"

Clara looks very relaxed in her coop.

The chicken coops need cleaning a lot less than the animal sheds.

Uh... what is going on here?

Rylie: "Are you ready for the animal clothes debut? These are the adorable animal clothes I purchased from the Creature Keeper!"

Larry's outfit is awesome! This picture is iconic.

Larry: "Call me DJ Larry while I wear this outfit."

Rylie: "And, for our wonderful Bessie, she gets to wear a wonderful knitted outfit!"

Bessie: "I love my knitted outfit! It's so warm!"

Cluckers has a lovely top hat.

Clara has a knitted outfit, just like Bessie. I forgot to capture Eggbert's outfit, but you'll see it soon. There was also only one female chicken outfit, but we'll find another outfit for Matilda soon!

Rylie: "Everyone looks amazing in their new outfits! The chickens look very... fly."

Rylie: "My oversized crops are looking a lot bigger today."

Rylie: "They got a lot of rain, now they're finally getting some sunlight."

Rylie: "Aww, hi there, Clara! You look so adorable in your new outfit!"

Rylie: "Why are all of the chickens letting me hug them all of a sudden? Are they up to something?"
Clara: "She's onto us."

Rylie was able to fertilize the first two crops with the fertilizer she bought from Agnes!

There's a lot of animals hanging around the garden today.

Larry- I mean, DJ Larry is too cool to talk to us.

DJ Larry: "Larry can't come to the phone right now, only DJ Larry is home."

Bun Bun is back and nibbling on some flowers!

Rylie: "Hi, Bun Bun!"

Rylie: "Isn't she the cutest thing ever?"

Rylie: "Do you think you could help out with the garden later on?"

Bun Bun: "Of course I can!"

Rylie: "Thank you, Bun Bun. Here's a token of my gratitude."

Bun Bun: "A daisy? I like it."

Rylie: "Yes! She likes it!"

Who's this lil' gal? It looks like Marshmallow had a kitten with another cat in the neighborhood. Introducing Honey Parsons!

Rylie: "I'm ready to bond with my chickens... no matter how intimidating they might be."

Rylie: "Hey, Clara! You're hanging around the garden again?"

Rylie: "Where's Rylie? Where is she?"

Rylie: "Peek-a-boo! Here I am!"

Clara: "Hmm?"

Clara: "Wow, you got me!"

Rylie: "This is easier than I thought it would be."

Cluckers: "Until you deal with me."

Honey: "I want everyone to bond with me. I'm sweet as honey."

Eggbert: "You wanna go upstairs and poop on everyone's beds when they're not looking?"
Cluckers: "Sounds good to me!"

Rylie: "They're so adorable, I wonder what they're clucking on about?"

Rylie: "Peek-a-boo!"

They don't look very amused.

Yuki: "Ugh! Why is there a stink cloud coming off me?!"

What the heck is going on in the office?

Rylie: "Oh no, your glasses are falling off, DJ Larry. Here you go, I fixed them for you!"

Rylie: "You're such a sweetie pie!"

Rylie: "Don't think I forgot about you, Bessie!"

Rylie: "I've seen a lot of little birds in this tree lately."

Rylie: "Do you guys wanna come out and chat with me?"

Bird: "Hi there."

Aww, what a little cutie!

Rylie: "I have a gift for you guys."

Rylie: "I hope you like it!"

Rylie: "Aww, you guys are so sweet!"

Rylie: "Looks like I have some new feathery friends."

Rylie: "Huh?"

Rylie: "You guys have a gift for me, too?"

Rylie: "Thank you so much!"

Rylie: "Some more garden fertilizer? Just what I needed."

Bun Bun is helping out with the garden again!

Hey! What are you doing here?

Cluckers, RUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!

Fox: "I'll let him be... this time."

Stay away from our chickens!

Henford-on-Bagley has some gorgeous sunrises and sunsets.

Rylie has been learning some animal treat recipes, she decided to make the friendly animal treat recipe!

Murphy: "That sounds tasty."

Honey: "Is there a 'honey' pet recipe?"

Rylie: "What's the matter, Murphy? Do you want some pets?"

Murphy: "Yes, please."

Aww, those puppy dog eyes!

Murphy got his pets.

Honey got some pets, too.

Rylie: "Aren't animals the best?"

Looks like Kobe got employee of the month! Woohoo!

Yuki: "It should have been me, but whatever."

Murphy: "I like the birb ball."

*Squeak*

The pets love sleeping near Servo.

Servo: "Looks like I need to make some breakfast for these sims... once again."

Rylie: "That smells delicious, Servo."

Rylie: "Hey! Are those eggs from my chicken coop outside?"
Servo: "Do you want breakfast or not?"

Marshmallow, stop eating the chicken food! That's for chickens only!

The Finchwick Cow Fair is today! Bessie is getting all brushed and ready!

Larry also needs another shear.

Rylie: "Who's gonna win the cow and the milk competition today? You are! Yes, you are!"

Bessie: "Is that really the best form of encouragement?"

Rylie: "Alright, let's get some milk for the milk competition."

Rylie: "Great job, girl!"
Bessie: "Moo!"

While Rylie is getting Bessie ready for the cow competition, Servo is helping out with the garden. He's a pro, after all.

Rylie: "Oh my gosh, cleaning those animal sheds is a nightmare! I need a shower, I can't go to the cow fair smelling like this!"

I didn't get to capture it, but a little bunny dug this hole and jumped inside!

Aww! Cluckers is taking a nap by Bessie's side.

Marshmallow: "Come here, birb."

Marshmallow: "You think you can escape me, birb? Never!"

Marshmallow: "Oh..."

Rylie: "Are you ready for the Finchwick Cow Fair, Bessie?"
Bessie: "I sure am!"

Rylie: "Alright, let's go!"

Wait! A bunny!

Rylie: "Do you like my dance moves, bunny?"

Rabbit: "Please stop."

The Finchwick Cow Fair has begun!

It's so beautiful!

Bessie and Rylie have arrived and are ready to compete!

Rylie: "How do you feel, girl?"
Bessie: "I feel great!"

Rylie: "Remember, whatever place you win today, you're always the number one cow to me."

Rylie: "Alright, let's get the milk set up and ready for the competition!"

Rylie: "Perfect."

Bessie's 'enriched milk' is ready to compete!

Rylie: "I think we have a good shot at winning it all today."

Look who came to the competition!

Myles: "Wow, that's a beautiful cow right there."
Mayor Lavina: "It sure is."

Myles: "That's your cow, Rylie?"

Myles: "She's beautiful! She looks so happy and well cared for!"

Rylie: "Aww, thanks, Myles!"

Rylie: "I try my best to make sure all of my animals are well cared for."

Myles: "I can tell!"

Mayor Lavina: "A very impressive cow. The bar has been set high with this one."

It sure has!

Rylie: "So, what brings you to the Finchwick Cow Fair, Myles?"

Myles: "I attend each fair every year. It's my favorite thing to do."

Myles: "I always have a great time here, except for the one time my pa entered his cow in a competition, and she didn't even place in the top three! She was definitely robbed!"

Rylie: "Well, that makes me nervous for today, then."

Myles: "Don't worry, Bessie has a super high chance of winning today. She's a wonderful cow."

Rylie: "You're so sweet, Myles!"

Myles: "Have you looked at the rest of the competition for today, yet?"

Mayor Lavina is getting down!

The Creature Keeper: "Woah!"

The Creature Keeper: "Now, this is a beautiful cow if I've ever seen one."

The Creature Keeper: "One of the most lovely cows in Henford-on-Bagley!"

Bessie: "I'm loving all these compliments. The Finchwick Cow Fair is the best!"

You deserve them!

Looks like someone entered some chocolate milk in the milk competition.

Rylie: "Let's explore the fair a little, I have some animal treats I wanna buy."
Myles: "I'm right behind you!"

Rylie: "Hi, Kim! I heard there were some special animal treats being sold at the fair that are a limited time offer."

Kim Goldbloom: "That's right, we've got plenty of limited time offer animal treats right here!"

There's some sims crowding around Bessie's milk. I hope they like it!

Agnes Crumplebottom: "Gardening supplies! Get your gardening supplies right here! Limited time offers only available at the Finchwick Cow Fair!"

Rylie: "Did you just say 'limited time offers'?"

Agnes Crumplebottom: "I sure did! We have lots of varieties of crop fertilizers only available today!"

Rylie: "I may or may not have purchased way too many crop fertilizers."

Myles: "How expensive were they?"

Rylie: "A little expensive... but it's worth it, right?"

Myles: "As long as it makes your crops healthier than not, I think it's a good investment!"

Rylie: "I really hope so. I need my crops to be ready before the oversized crop competition. I want the sweetest crops any sim could ever dream of!"

Myles: "No need to stress, your crops will be perfect. No crop will ever be as sweet as you, though."

Rylie: "Oh, are you flirting with me, Myles?"

Rylie: "Wait a minute... I don't think you should be flirting in front of Agnes, I heard her purse is dangerous..."

Myles: "Hehe... what are you talking about?"

Rylie: "I think you're about to find out..."

Agnes Crumplebottom: "What's the matter with you, young man?! Can't you conduct yourself with some dignity?"

Myles: "Huh? What do you mean-"

Agnes Crumplebottom: "You know what I mean! You shouldn't be getting all 'lovey-dovey' at the cow fair! There are children nearby! Think of the children!!!"

Myles: "I'm sorry, Ms. Crumplebottom. I was only-"

Myles: "Uh... what are you doing with that purse-"

*Purse swat!*

Agnes Crumplebottom: "Let this be a warning!"

Agnes Crumplebottom: "No flirting at the cow fair!"

Myles: "I'm feeling a little dizzy after that purse swat-"

*Purse swat!*

Myles: "Can anyone else see stars, or just me?"

Agnes Crumplebottom: "Let this be a warning!"
Rylie: "Told ya."

Myles: "I'm sorry Ms. Crumplebottom. It won't happen again."

Agnes Crumplebottom: "Anyway, who wants some gardening supplies? Limited time offers!"

Myles: "Maybe we'll be safe if we flirt away from Agnes."

Rylie: "It's a little risky. I hope she doesn't see us this time."

Another sim submitted some strawberry milk!

Bessie: "I like strawberry milk."

The Creature Keeper: "Hey, Rylie! I got you a gift to say thanks for purchasing my animal clothes."

Rylie: "Aww, thanks Creature Keeper! You shouldn't have!"

The Creature Keeper: "Well, I did. Here you go."

Myles: "Wow, that was super nice of him!"

Rylie: "Yeah, it was. I feel kinda bad I didn't get anything for him, though."

Myles: "He said it was an appreciation gift, though. You deserve all the gifts in the world."

Rylie: "You really mean that?"

Myles: "Of course I do. You're one of the most special sims I've ever met."

Rylie: "Thank you, Myles. So are you."

THIS SHIP HAS SAILED!

It looks like everyone at the Finchwick Cow Fair loves Bessie!

The Creature Keeper: "Everyone on simstagram loves her, too!"

Kim Goldbloom: "Are we announcing the winners yet?"

Mayor Lavina: "Soon. I'm still counting up all the scores."

Rylie: "I really appreciate you being so supportive of Bessie and I today, Myles. It means a lot to me."

Myles: "Of course! I definitely think Bessie is gonna win."

Rylie: "If there was a cute sim competition, you'd be in first place!"

Myles: "Oh, really?"

Myles: "There's another competition I might also win first place in..."

Rylie: "Really? What's that?"

Myles: "...A kissing competition."

*Kiss*

Myles: "I would win... right?"

Rylie: "First place."

Myles: "Hey, I must be a great kisser!"

Myles: "Do you wanna dance with me?"

Rylie: "I thought you'd never ask!"

Getting down at the cow fair!

These two have moooves!

Bessie: "Very punny."

Go, y'all! Break it down!

Rylie: "Do we know the results of the competition yet?"

Mayor Lavina: "Sorry, I was too busy going to the bathroom. I tasted too much milk today."

Mayor Lavina: "Bessie has come in... third place at the Finchwick Cow Fair!"

Bessie: "Third place?"

Third place?! Are you serious?! Bessie was robbed! She should have won first place!

Oh well, her ribbon shall be displayed on her animal shed.

Kobe: "Did you have fun at the cow fair?"
Rylie: "Lots of fun! Bessie and her milk won third place."
