Chapter 294

Servo and Blaire are back down at the equestrian center.

They're here to compete with Dream and Mocha. Today is Mocha's first competition! Doesn't he look nervous?

Mocha needed some play time before the competition begun.

Servo: "Hehe... watching horses play with the horse ball is my favorite thing ever. They're like puppies!"

Mocha: "I'm taking my ball and going home."

Hooray! Dream won first place in the beginner 'Western Pleasure' competition! She now has gold in every beginner competition!

Is that Todd? The horse delivery guy?

Todd: "Suly, suly!"

Blaire: "Suly, suly!"

Todd: "Great job out there today, your horse is so well trained!"

Blaire: "Gee, thanks! I'm her trainer."

Blaire: "Do you compete, too?"

Todd: "Not really, I just like to watch competitions."

Blaire: "Well, you can come watch us anytime! Right, Dream?"

Dream: "Where is my victory snack, lady?"

Oh, gosh.

Blaire: "Uh... just pretend you never saw that."

Todd: "It's fine, I have the perfect distraction."

Todd: "Ready?"

Todd: "BLERGHISOFEUI!"

Blaire: "Hahaha! That makes me feel a lot less embarrassed seeing how stupid you just looked!"

Todd & Blaire: "Hahahahaha!"

Todd: "I hope to see you competing here again soon. You were amazing!"

Blaire: "Oh, trust me, you will. I compete everyday."

Blaire: "I'm so good at horse riding, I only got thrown off my horse a total of four times this week! ...Hey, where did he go?"

Blaire: "Anyways, I'd better get back inside to watch Mocha and Servo compete."

Servo: "We did it! We got first place in the beginners barrel racing competition!"

Woohoo!

Servo: "Great job, Mocha! I can't believe you won gold in your first competition."

Blaire: "Ugh, where did this rash come from?!"

Dream: "It's totally not from me rolling around in the mud earlier today."

Mocha: "Did someone say rolling around in the mud? I'm in!"

Finally! Three sims have now autonomously asked Servo to take a selfie, which means he can move onto the next stage of the 'World-Famous Celebrity' aspiration.

He needs to get 25 positive responses from inciting cheers... as you can see, it's going oh so well.

Meanwhile, Blaire is doing some intense training with Dream with the barrels.

Servo: "Here's a snack so you won't be as annoyed with me when we start an intense training session."

Both Dream and Mocha are in intense training mode!

Happy birthday, Jenna!

Jenna aged up into a young adult!

Now, get out.

Servo: "Man, that training session was so tiring. I'm just exhausted!"
Mocha: "Seriously?"

Esme: "Are you hungry, Pumpkin? Here you go."

Esme: "Looks like you need a brush, too."

Esme: "And Meadow needs a sheer."

Brendan: "Why do I have the uncontrollable urge to pet Meadow and Pumpkin at all times? They're just so adorable!"

After the training session with Mocha, Servo is back to stomping grapes.

Mocha: "Leave me alone. I'm eating."

Okay, sir.

Chase: "Mmm... these franks and beans are delicious!"

Magnus: "Maybe if I stare at him eat every single bite of his food, he'll share some with me."

Bonehilda: "What the heck kind of nectar is that?"

It looks nasty.

Servo: "It's trash fruit nectar, honey. Don't knock it 'till you try it, especially if it's made by me!"

Ooh, looks like Dream and Mocha are really getting along!

Could there be a foal eventually?

Mocha: "Wanna see how high I can throw this ball?"

Esme: "You bet I do!"

Mocha: "YEET!"

Servo is training Dream while Blaire sleeps since Dream has full energy right now.

Aaand of course, there's paparazzi stalking him.

What in tarnation is going on here?!

Chase: "Ugh! My engine failed on the way down!"

Chase: "Is everything spinning, or is it just me?"

Before you have enough time to process what just happened, I need you to fix the rocket ship.

Pumpkin: "What was that loud noise? It woke me from my nap. Now, I have to count sheep again."

Blaire: "Goats count sheep to go to sleep? Why don't they count goats?"

Esme is absolutely loving the ranch life!

Well, well, well, look who's strolling up to the Parsons door.

Blaire: "Oh, hey there, Todd! What are you doing here?"

Todd: "Hey, Blaire! You've been all over social bunny lately, I just wanted to come show you."

Todd: "Everyone's talking about you and Dream at the last competition."

Blaire: "Oh my gosh, really? Wait... why couldn't you just send me a message on social bunny about this?"

Todd: "Okay, you got me. I kinda wanted to see you... in person."

Blaire: "Oh, that's so sweet of you, Todd!"

Todd: "What can I say? I'm a sweet guy."

Esme: "I smell a romance brewing!"

Esme: "I'm already shipping 'Bodd'."

That's a horrible couple ship name.

Mocha: "Finally, someone decides to brush me!"

Blaire: "Do you think sims on social bunny are more interested in me or Dream?"

Todd: "Probably you because you're so beautiful."

Blaire: "Oh, stop it, you."

Todd: "You look like a real life Barbie doll!"

Blaire: "I said stop it! ...But keep it coming."

Todd: "You're the prettiest sim I've ever seen."

Blaire: "I could say the same about you."

Todd: "I can see why. I'm the second prettiest sim I've ever seen."

Blaire: "You know... I actually really like you, Todd."

Todd: "I really like you, too. I love talking to you, and I could look into your green eyes all day."

Blaire: "You can if we make it official right now."

Todd: "Then, let's do just that."

Esme: "I'm just casually walking around the ranch, totally not eavesdropping or anything."

You've 'casually' walked this same path 5 times.

*Kiss*

Todd: "Wow, you're a great kisser."

Blaire: "Are you sure? I think I got lipgloss all over your lips."

Todd: "You did... but it's fine."

Blaire: "Since we're official now..."

Blaire: "Why don't you move in? You'd be able to see Mocha everyday again."
Todd: "That sounds perfect!"

Good luck, is all I have to say.

Todd: "Hey, Mocha! Remember me?"

Mocha: "I hate to say it, I hope I don't sound ridiculous, I don't know who this man is."

Todd: "What do you mean? It's me... Todd!"

Mocha: "He could be walking down the street... I wouldn't know a thing. Sorry to this man."

Blaire is off to enter another competition with Dream... as soon as she stops playing with the horse ball.

Blaire: "Hooray! Dream and I won first place at our first intermediate competition!"

Yay! Dream and Blaire won first place in the intermediate barrel racing competition!

Mocha: "Intermediate? That's impressive!"

Dream: "I know, right?"

Esme: "Why are you so cute?!"

Esme: "If there was a cuteness award for mini sheep, you would win first place."

Servo is back to training Mocha again since they're both energized.

The Parsons only need one more alien to complete their alien collection.

They need a live pink whale. Right now, they only have a dead pink whale.

Speaking of collectables, Chase is using the observatory again in the hopes of collecting the last moon print the Parsons need.

Chase: "Good news! I didn't find the moon print we need, but I found a bunch of moon prints we already have. Now, we can sell them for simoleons."

You have enough simoleons. I want the last moon print!

What the heck kind of game is this?

Todd: "Ugh, I just lost miserably."

Pumpkin: "Ha-ha! He lost!"

Servo needs to keep his followers updated on his social media so he doesn't lose fame points.

Servo: "I bet my followers will love seeing my awesome garden."

Servo has added some upgrades to the observatory to hopefully make it easier for Chase to find the last moon print.

Chase: "Why do I have to do it?"

Because I made you nap all day, so now you're nocturnal and can spend all night moongazing.

Chase: "Hey, I can see Sixam!"

Servo is up extra early to take care of the horses.

They're getting super close!

Servo is trying to summon a Day of the Dead Celebrator for some sugar skulls using Dipsi's headstone.

Servo: "Hey, it worked!"

The only problem is that Chestnut Ridge is huge, so it isn't easy finding these guys around here.

After much searching, I found the Day of the Dead Celebrator walking around!

Servo: "Hey! Can I have a sugar skull?"

Day of the Dead Celebrator: "Suly, suly! I can't allow you to have any sugar skulls until-"

Servo: "What if I threaten your entire existence?"

Day of the Dead Celebrator: "Uh... here's your sugar skull! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to run for my life."

Welp, that was all for nothing. That guy gave Servo a sugar skull the Parsons already have!

Todd is a great help on the ranch.

Todd: "Why am I doing this? I should have let the robot do this instead."

Chase: "My eyes hurt. Moongazing until daylight is a horrible idea!"

Chase: "Maybe I'll try and collect a sugar skull to make up for failing to collect the last moon print."

Chase: "Aww, man... that didn't work either!"

That's a whole lotta cheese for breakfast, guys.

The squad is back down at the equestrian center again to compete!

Blaire: "I'm not here to compete, I'm here to win!"

Dream and Blaire won first place again! I'm a dingus and accidentally entered them in the intermediate barrel racing competition, which they already won yesterday.

Mocha and Servo won second place in the beginners endurance racing competition!

Victory snacks for all!

Blaire: "I'm so cool, I won the exact same competition two days in a row."

Looks like Servo isn't the only celebrity roaming around today.

Even she's star struck by Servo.

Servo: "Everyone, cheer for how awesome I am!"

Fan: "AHHHH!!!"
Stan: "I've been secretly stalking Servo for 17 days straight."

Blaire and Dream went for a ride around Chestnut Ridge to improve Dream's endurance skill.

Blaire is getting much better at the horse riding skill.

Paparazzi: "Isn't Servo just awesome?"

He sure is, Servo finally completed the 'World Famous Celebrity' aspiration by successfully getting 25 positive reactions from inciting cheers! Hooray, Servo! Now, his fame level will never deplete no matter what.

Esme: "Now, we're stuck here with a global superstar robot who gets followed by paparazzi everywhere he goes?"
Neal: "That's so annoying!"

Todd: "When will Servo stop being so awesome and get back to doing the dirty work like fixing toilets and cleaning horse manure so we don't have to?"
