Hidden Springs 2: I've Had Better

Jenny doesn't seem to impressed with Gustav's WooHooing skills.
Jenny to herself: "I've had better, but it should do for now."

In case you didn't read the last chapter, here, Gustav essentially cheated on his wife with his ex, Jenny Lho.



Madeline is on the way to another party - this time hosted by her closest friend Ian Nali in his house. She can't help but feel even more suspicious about Gustav walking so happily from some unknown location.




She decides not to ask him, since she thinks it might be rude to seem doubtful of him, considering how sweet he has always been towards her.



Meanwhile at the party, she somehow suddenly comes to a realization that Gustav was with Jenny Lho earlier today. Perhaps she heard someone gossiping at the party about Gustav leaving Jenny's house with that smug "WooHoo walk" that sims do when they've had a little fling outside their home.



Madeline: "Do you know anything about this rumor that Gustav has been ... 'with' Jenny Lho?"
Ian: "Oh god, Madeline. I'm so sorry, I should have told you sooner."
Madeline: "Told me what? You mean the rumors are true?"
Ian: "Look, all I know is that a couple days ago I might have seen Gustav talking suggestively with Jenny Lho at the Rejuvinating Pools."
Madeline: "Suggestively? What does that mean, was he making a suggestion to her, or slobbering all over her hideously fake body?"
Ian: "I'm sorry, Madeline. I really should have told you, but I guess I was wishfully thinking that he was just innocent."
Madeline: "Don't worry Ian, you don't have to apologize. You're not the one who's been WooHooing anything with two X chromosomes. When I see Gustav, he's going to wish he was never born."



And, well, look what the wind blew in.



Ian: "Uhh, you know what? I really have to pee. I'll chat with you later."



Smart idea, Ian. Smart idea.



Madeline looks like she's going to rip Gustav to shreds.



Gustav: "Hey babe, I decided to stop by and see what your friend's party is all about."
Madeline: "Oh, hello Gustav. Where's Jenny?"
Gustav: "Jenny? You mean Jenny Lho? I don't know. We haven't really talked since the birthday party."
Madeline: "Oh, don't act stupid Gustav. I know you're just like a spoiled little baby in diapers who just wants anything he can get his hands on. That includes females."
Gustav: "What on earth are you talking about?"
Madeline: "Listen Gustav, I know you and Jenny have been doing it."
Gustav: "Doing what?"
Madeline: "WooHooing. Together. Thinking I didn't know. Well, guess what my little Gustav, I know now."



Gustav: "If you'd stop being so condescending for two seconds, I could probably explain what actually happened."
Madeline: "What? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you said. I'm allergic to lame excuses."




Gustav: "I just took a nap at her house since I didn't want to disturb you while you were sleeping!"
Madeline: "You left AFTER I had woken up and went to work. That's the most pathetic excuse I've ever heard."




Madeline: "I just don't get it. WHY, Gustav? WHY?"
Gustav: "Listen, okay, I admit it. Maybe we can work it out if you give me another chance."
Madeline: "Another chance? How about you try another chance with your ex. The engagement is off."



Gustav: "But...but... I paid a fortune for that ring."
Madeline: "Who said I wanted the stupid thing?"



Keep in mind that during this whole argument, nobody else in the room seems to pay any attention to the fact that there's a dramatic break up going on right behind them.

Now this is where things get pretty bizarre... it seems Gustav suddenly changes.
Gustav: "Wait, this means the wedding's off?"
Madeline: "Yes."
Gustav: "Hey, that means no responsibilities!"



Gustav: "I guess I won't be getting married after all. Oh well, that's just too bad, huh?"



In response to his sarcasm, Madeline gives him a slap in the face.



Funny thing is, even some random little girl who attended the party seems to know about Gustav's rumor of WooHooing with Jenny. The things parents tell their children in this town... O__O



While all of this is happening, Ian is sleeping away in his bedroom. Madeline runs in just as he's waking up from the loud noise of her & Gustav arguing.



Madeline: "Well, me and Gustav broke up. Seems the engagement is off."
Ian: "Sorry about that. I'm going to make some hot dogs now that I'm already up and likely won't be able to go back to sleep. You want one?"
Madeline: "No, but thanks anyways."
Ian: "Is Gustav still here?"
Madeline: "No, I kicked him out and told him to pack his bags and leave... tonight. You mind if I spend the night here? I really don't want to see him."
Ian: "Sure Madeline, anything for a close friend."



Madeline decides to go back into the living room, where it seems that people are finally discussing the night's dramatic events. Among the guests at the party is Madeline's boss, Liam O'Dourke.



Note how the girl behind Liam is booing him with passion. I get the feeling she's a regular on the internet and knows about how Liam trolls in his free time by causing connection problems on forums.



Liam: "Wow, I can't believe that happened. I'm sorry about all that Madeline. Are you going to be good for work tomorrow?"
Madeline: "No, I'll be fine. I feel like the cowplants are the only people in this world who truly understand me anyways, so it'll be nice to tell them all about my frustrations, while pretending the slabs of meat I feed them are actually chunks of Gustav's corpse."

Since Ian has decided to crash on his own couch instead of his comfy bed, Madeline decides to spend the night in his bed instead.



Too bad Liam is already in the bed. Seriously, who does this guy think he is?



So she decides to lay down on another couch by the bedroom door. Of course by the time she falls asleep, Liam walks on out and reads a book in the living room. With the light on. Now that's Class-A trolling.



...The next morning...

Madeline: "Boy, that was a rough night last night. I think I should head home now and make sure Gustav is out."



Once Madeline gets to her house, she immediately walks to the bedroom and sees none other than Gustav laying in it, presumably dreaming about radioactive contaminants or something.



If looks could kill...



Gustav: "Mmmm...oh... hey Madeline. Are you feeling good this morning?"




Madeline: "I WAS feeling good until I saw you were still in MY house, in MY bed. Seriously, do you just think this is some kind of comedic musical or something? I'm serious about this."



Gustav: "Calm down Maddy, I just thought you would calm down over night and maybe we could make up."
Madeline: "Make up? No thanks. Leave now."



Oh no, Gustav. No you've REALLY done it.
