Household: Mel Fancey = Adult

 Scout = adult male dog

If Mel was going to find love then he would have to change his approach.  His new home was the perfect start for drastic changes.   He was barely settled in when he got invited on an outing by Megan (Pleasant) Dreamer. 

He’d known Megan from when they were teens, before she met Dirk.   They’d never really been more then friends.  They didn’t have much chemistry before.  Yet now, as adults they shared 3.  He spent most of the time at the park talking with her.  He bought her an espresso.  He invited everyone back to his place, Megan and Alexander where the only ones to stay a while. 

Alexander watched TV while Mel and Megan talked.  She wasn’t as happy with Dirk as she’d hoped.  She complained about his step mom.  She talked about the distance with her sisters and how she hardly knew their half brother.  She was sad that she didn’t know her 5 nieces. 

“Why don’t you stay the night to forget your problems for a bit,” Mel suggested.  He spent the rest of the night romancing her.  Alexander Goth wouldn’t leave even after being asked.  He just kept on watching TV.  Mel and Megan ignored them as they made their way to Mel’s room to relax on his bed for more romance that led to woohoo.

In the morning, Mel discovered that Alexander had left at sometime in the night.  He served up some omelets but as he was putting the meal on the table Megan ran out the house mumbling to herself.

Mel ate his breakfast thinking about the trouble he might have started, but he was sure he could steal Megan away from Dirk. 

He cleaned up his dish, put the leftovers away and gave Scout a bath before getting ready for work.

He spent the next few days fixing up the house and caring for Scout.  He started thinking about possibly trying to breed Scout.  Now that he was in a house of his own he had the room to have more then one dog. 

He invited Heart Happiness over.  They had lived in the same dorm at college.  They had only been friends with no chemistry.  He enjoyed her company though.  She also was having problems at home.  Her step dad was driving her nuts and her half brother’s wife refused to let him move in with them.  Heart was happy in her marriage despite her constant involvement with Justin Kim.  Mel told her about his problems with Justin’s younger sister, Claire and about how Justin had been harassing Lizzy.

“Bobbie told me about his date with your sister and Justin’s behavior,” Heart sighed.

“Sometimes times those Kim’s just make you want to get even with them.”  Mel laughed.

“What did you have in mind?” Heart asked.

Sometime in the night Mel woke to see Heart quickly dress and slip from his room.  He knew he was acting just like a romance sim and started wondering if his new direction in life was something he really wanted.  He sighed, rolled over and went back to sleep.
