Author's Note: I apologize in advance for poor screen shots. I had never taken any before and I wasn't sure how they were going to turn out.
Here's Mercury:
And:
Chapter One: The Beginning Mercury has come to his lot. There is nothing yet, and for a while, nothing about it will change.
The small amount of money he has is immediately spent on first taking a gardening class, and then going to the supermarket and buying 1,000 simoleans worth of apples and watermelons. Being a born salesman, he takes them to the consignment store in hopes that they will accept these and sell his stuff more often.
Going home now, he plants the seeds that he obtained from his gardening class. This is just the start of what will one day become a garden that none can rival.
Mercury knows that the most urgent thing for him to do is find a wife. He is desperate, so any woman will do, as long as they will have him. His first target is Ayesha Ansari. She is not the most beautiful of all the woman in town, but he just wants someone who can paint a picture of him well. She's not there when he visits the Working Friend's household, so he decides to talk to Jamie.. He is able to get her to go on a date with him, but that gets cut short, and they are just acquaintances.
He goes home wondering if he will ever find a woman who will love him. The sight of his "house" didn't make him feel better either.
He's been doing everything he needs to do to survive at the gym. He eats cereal, takes a shower, and uses the toilet. Still very poor, this is the only way he can survive.
He calls Ayesha Ansari that morning, asking if she would like to come over. She comes, but the date is a disaster. He sets his sights on Jamie again, but hopes that he can bridge the gap between him and Ayesha. The next morning, he visits The Working Friend's Household in hopes of meeting Jamie, but instead is greeted by Ayesha. They start talking and Mercury is able to get her to hug him.
They are now best friends, and he first tells her that he has feelings for her, then he immediately asks her if she will be his girlfriend. She says yes, but then she goes to the bathroom to throw up from some food she just ate. (I really wish I could have gotten a picture). Mercury follows her to the bathroom, and gives her a kiss to make her feel better.
She responds well to the kiss and, not wanting to let this moment slip out of his grasp, Mercury pulls, out a box, gets on one knee, and asks her if she would like to spend the rest of her life (but not his) with him.
How will she respond? Yes, or No?
