So Gardenia was off to her audition. Jay was home alone with the animals. The neighbours came over to welcome them.
Um, they sure were a weird bunch.
No way to communicate with them. Jay gave up on them and went on to do his own business.

Gardenia came back. Good stuff!
She couldn't talk to the strange folk either.
Gardenia was way more forward and tried to slap the weird out of the new sims.
Didn't seem to work. Oh well.

Eh, no. She just moved in with a new man so she's good for now.

The strange sims came into the house and put a red fruit in their fridge.
Soon after some sims in suits came to confiscate it.
Um... okay.

Gardenia still wanted to talk to the weird sims. She couldn't get through to them. But Peppa did.
Gardenia wasn't happy about the attack. But it got the communication lines open.

Speaking of Peppa though... she was pretty fearless attacking people and liked to growl a lot. But she also liked nice things - like the stereo. Her new obsession.

Sometime after the audition and moving to Strangerville, Gardenia started having doubts about her acting career. It just didn't fit anymore. It's something she did as a kid and missing the classes as a teen made her irresponsible for life. So... she quit. But they still needed money.
She was more into massaging and stuff.

Also she was intrigued by the weird neighbours and the officials sims. She was gonna try to find out what was going on. She came to the desert for a nice, warm, sunny weather and didn't want anything weird happening around her. So she put her friend of the world aspiration aside and started investigating Strangerville by aspiration.

Love day time! Gardenia would have loved to do something with Jay but he was hating all romantic things. He still felt they were moving too fast eventhough he kind of wanted to flirt with Gardenia a little too. It was conflicting.

Out of nowhere, Alden the butler, got in touch.
Yeah, she thought of rejecting him for Jay but since Jay was being a sourpuss, Gardenia went on the date.
He again, took her to a bad place. Alden, Alden... And he left really quickly too.
But it was hot and sunny and she got some romantic action. Score!
As she was out already, she asked another man out. Darnell Saunders.
Oh dear. It was a bad idea taking Peppa with her though. The dog caused so much trouble. She was angrily chasing sims, attacking sims and begging for food from strangers.
Gardenia was too busy with Peppa to enjoy the date.
Peppa herself was pleased! The date ended up going nicely though. Miraculously.

She went out in Strangerville too. Saw a silver haired sim and chatted him up.
She realized the man wasn't even an elder but he was a military personnel, Julius Cornejo, so she dropped the flirty act and tried to find out things about Strangerville.

She got a call from a friend.
Nah, she was done with the entertainment.

Later Jay joined her at the bar.
Well, Gardenia still wanted some romance. Asked him for sex.
Jay...

That's all it was though. He was still feeling tense about the relationship with Gardenia. They weren't even official yet.

Gardenia wanted the relationship more though.
So, had she made a bad choice moving in with him!?

At home both of the animals were in heat though.
