[ Have 1 Upgraded Prep Hangout | None | 200c ]
ADDISON: Uh oh… you don’t look happy…
MIA: Oh, I am very, VERY unhappy! My dad just did the worst thing ever!
ADDISON: Abused his authority as Principal to grant unfair privileges to his two kids, turning his school into a toxic nightmare?
MIA: No! He cancelled my debutante ball! It’s his way of getting back at me for transferring… apparently, if I won’t go to his school, I don’t get to have my ball!
ADDISON: What’s a debutante ball?
MIA: Oh you poor, poor person… Literally. You must be a poor person if you don’t know what a debutante ball is!
ADDISON: You’re really not much for subtlety, are you, Mia?
MIA: A debutante’s ball is the most important social event in any young socialite’s life! It’s the day she debuts to the world of the wealthy and glamorous! It’s a beautiful party with gorgeous dresses, expensive food, and elegant dancing! It’s utterly magical! I’ve been looking forward to it my whole life… And now my stupid dad has taken it away from me! Grrr! I’m so mad I could punch a kitten in the face!
ADDISON: Well, let’s keep calm and pretend you didn’t just say that. Aren’t there any other alternatives? Couldn’t you throw it yourself?
MIA: Addison… you’re brilliant! I’ll throw it myself, right here at school!
ADDISON: Wait, I didn’t say anything about--
MIA: Oh, don’t be modest! It’s a great idea, especially from someone so obviously poor! Now, let’s see, the first thing I’ll need to do is buy a new dress. I’ll need a few people to go with me, of course… people with IMPECCABLE taste…
[ Mia, A Level 5+ Girl Classmate, A Level 5+ Girl Classmate (Cameron, Sheridan) | 6h | 400c ]
MIA: Okay, ladies! Are you ready to go dress-shopping?!
CAMERON: Absolutely!
SHERIDAN: I do need a new dress…
MIA: What? Oh, ha, don’t be silly! You aren’t buying dresses! You’re helping ME pick a dress! What do you think… strapless, red, and low-cut… or elegant, black, and backless?
CAMERON: I like the black one… it’s tasteful and classy, you know?
SHERIDAN: It’s okay… but the red one is way more fun! It screams ‘check me out, I’m gorgeous!’
MIA: Oh, you girls, you’re so silly… I’ll just buy both!
CAMERON: Wow, Mia, those are expensive…
MIA: Hmmm? Oh, don’t worry about it, I’ll just put them on my Platinum Luxury Double-Lux credit card! I’ll have to take them in to get altered, but they should arrive just in time for the ball!
ADDISON: So, what’s next?
MIA: We’ll need a caterer, of course! And not just any caterer… we’ll need the very best! Le Delish Dish Du Jour! There’s just one slight problem…
ADDISON: Too pricey?
MIA: What? No! What is it like being you? Is all you think about money?! Le Delish Dish doesn’t cater school events, so we’ll need someone who can pretend to be an adult. Know anyone who’s good at voices?
[ Addison, Mia, A Level 4+ Actor (Laurie) | 8h | 600c ]
LAURIE: So what am I doing, exactly?
MIA: It’s simple! You’re going to call the catering company and pretend to be an adult to get them to cater my debutante ball!
LAURIE: Uh, okay… kind of weird, but okay… what EXACTLY should I tell them they’ll be catering?
ADDISON: A business meeting. Pretend you’re a wealthy executive holding a high-stakes business meeting…
LAURIE: Okay, yeah… I think I can do this… I just need to get into character…
MIA: And get a cake! Don’t forget a cake!
LAURIE: Hello? Le Delish Dish Catering? Yes, this is Quinn Striker, CEO of Striker Corp. I’ve got a catering request for a very high-priority business meeting, where I’ll be doing business with other business people, all business-y! Listen here, chuckles. I want stone-ground wheat crackers with imported yak cheese. I want veggie platters with artichoke dip in an avocado on top of an artichoke. I want a salad bar so fancy I can’t pronounce the vegetables. And if you don’t deliver the most phenomenal strawberry shortcake I have ever tasted, I will personally make sure you never work in this town again!
Laurie hangs up.
MIA: Did they fall for it?
LAURIE: Hook, line, and sinker. Mia, you are going to have one delicious debutante ball!
MIA: Oh! This is coming along so well! I can’t wait to see everyone out there in their fancy suits and gowns, waltzing away…
ADDISON: Uh, did you just say ‘waltzing’?
MIA: Something wrong with that? You all DO know how to waltz, right?
ADDISON: Not… technically…
MIA: What do they even teach you here?! Emergency dance lessons! Mandatory! Now!
[ A Girl Classmate except Mia, A Guy Classmate, A Dancer (Hadley, Nat, Sheridan) | 10h | 800c ]
MIA: Tell me SOMEONE around here knows how to waltz!
SHERIDAN: I do.
MIA: Seriously? Are you sure? You’re not thinking of waffles, are you? Because you might be thinking of waffles…
SHERIDAN: Yes, I’m sure. I took classical dance for years!
MIA: Then you’re my favorite person ever! Grab a partner, everyone! It’s time to waltz!
SHERIDAN: Step back with your right foot… Now step back with your left foot… Then slide your right forward and…
HADLEY: Turn it all about?
SHERIDAN: No, not exactly… but surprisingly close!
NAT: This is actually a lot of fun!
ADDISON: Good enough for you, Mia?
MIA: Actually, it is! Now we’ll just need a pristine, marble dance floor… I’ll call my contractor and have him put one in!
ADDISON: You have a contractor?
MIA: Well, my dad does… and that’s the same thing, right? While I call him, could you be a dear and set up some decorations?
[ Have 6 Flower Boxes, Have 20 Brick Paths, Have 4 Park Benches | None | 1000c ]
ADDISON: How’s that, Mia? Does that look nice?
MIA: It’s perfect! I wonder if I can find a white horse to ride in on… Oh, one second. My dad’s calling. What could HE want…? Hi, Dad. What do you… what? No, I… no! You can’t do that! No, please, I… NO!
ADDISON: Mia, what’s wrong?
MIA: I can’t believe it! My stupid dad saw all the purchases on the credit card… so he cancelled all of them AND cancelled the card! There’s not going to be any dancing or catering or beautiful dresses! My debutante ball is ruined… AGAIN!
Mia runs off in tears.
AUTUMN: I can’t believe I feel bad for Mia… but she looks really upset.
ADDISON: We need to do something for her, fast. And I have a good idea…
[ Have 8 Different Types of Classmate, Have 1 Party Central, Spend 30000 coins | None | 5r ]
ADDISON: Hey, Mia! Come here for a second, would you?
MIA: Sniffle… why? It’s not like it matters… anyway… Hey… what’s going on here?
Mia freezes. Set up in front of her is a simple and charming debutante’s ball!
ADDISON: Over there is the snack table… It’s not much, but we bought every veggie platter in the grocery store, not to mention a lot of chips and dip… And there you’ve got the waltzing area… we’ve all been practicing really hard, and I think you’ll be impressed with our moves… And last but not least, Payton offered to lend you this dress. She says it’s one of her favorites.
MIA: You… you did this all for me?
ADDISON: Yep! What do you think?
MIA: It’s… it’s… it’s… It’s AMAZING!
ADDISON: Enjoying yourself?
MIA: I’m loving it! This dress is gorgeous, the music is lovely, and the snacks… I’ve never had this ‘Cool Ranch’ chip before, but it is literally heavenly! And it looks like other people are having a good time too!
You look out across the dance floor…
AUTUMN: Wow, Julian! I had no idea how good you were at waltzing!
JULIAN: Hey, all this foot shuffling’s not that different from football drills, you know?
MIA: Thanks, Addison, for putting this together. You’re… you’re a real friend. Maybe the first real friend I’ve ever had.
ADDISON: Is it the debutante’s ball you dreamed of?
MIA: Oh, no, not at all… But it’s still absolutely perfect.
