    Tim splashes in the puddles as Dongsool lets himself in and stares at Sarah through the wall…



    Tim continues to splash as Sarah says hello to Noodle, a local stray cat, before seeking gainful employ from the newly delivered newspaper.



    Possible vacancies are: A job with WWE as an ‘Adoring Fan’, essentially a paid extra who is directed to act in a certain way towards performers, usually while on camera, or sit where instructed to make specific sections appear full.



    As a Mail Carrier.



    Or with the local wrestling promoter as a Rigger. The choices were not great and Sarah opts for the ‘Adoring Fan’ role.



    Tim decides to look for work too as Sarah strokes her Noodle.



    Tim finds a position as Co-Announcer for the local WWE developmental territory, the Sims Wrestling Alliance.



    Sarah resumes stimulating her Noodle as Tim looks on.



    Some neighbours, Chris Garvey, John Burb & Tanya Metcalfe, welcome Tim & Sarah to the neighbourhood and proceed to watch TV (with Noodle) as Sarah prepares lunch and Tim works on his announcing.



    Chris & Noodle have a man-to-man as Tanya and Sarah chat over Lunch Meat Sandwiches.



    So far so good for Tim.



    Sarah spots Phil Thompson walking by and goes out to introduce herself.



    Sarah takes out the trash as Gretchen Chin passes by.



    Dumping the trash on the lawn, Sarah instead opts to give Gretchen a hug.



    Sarah works on her Charisma as Chris observes Noodle trying out his new toy.



    As Tim clears the plates away.



    Sarah gains a Charisma point.



    Tim chats to Tanya, about… stuff(?)



    Sarah & Tanya and John & Gretchen chat as Chris plays with Noodle and Tim showers.



    The Carpool arrives and Tim is first to join.



    Followed by Sarah.



    The guests leave.



    Noodle discovers guard duty is hungry work.



    Tim & Sarah return from work.





    Sarah isn’t pleased by the fact she has to climb the steps to the front door as Tim cleans out Noodle’s bowl.



    Sarah is understandably tired after a long evening at work and heads straight for bed.



    Tim says hello to Noodle.



    Before heading to bed himself.
