Last Round, Taylor graduates from college after building up several of his talent badges, and Ray tired of dating the one girl, and got engaged to Candice Mazza. This is another long round which I'm splitting into two. I know a few parts back I said I'd try to shorten my stories. Well, I'm still a few posts away to catching up to where I was up to playing when I said this, so bear with me.

Taylor arrives home from college, and immediately sets to putting his own stamp on the house. The HOA house earned a lot in college grants over the years, and Taylor decided to invest this money in paintings.

(AN: Yeah, he took everyone else's money, but they don't need to buy 5 businesses to fulfill a LTW) Ray may be happy with a filthy house, but Taylor isn't. He hires a maid. Naturally, grilled cheese sim Ray ensures that the only food in the house is grilled cheese, and that's one thing that Taylor isn't going to try to change. Taylor wants to marry a rich sim. The normally shy and conservatively dressed Taylor puts on a sharp suit and is set to impress at the SimCity Club. There he meets a few sims, the most suitable of which is Juan Reamon. Taylor immediately asks him on a date. Over a game of poker, Juan offers Taylor a job, however Taylor is more interested in building his business empire than working for someone else. Taylor may not be super attracted to Juan, but he's a rich sim, part of the socialite set, and there is some attraction there. Taylor sets to starting his business empire, and purchases a store in SimCity Central.

(AN: cost $51K) Opening day for The Benson Company goes well, and Taylor sets to selling kitchen appliances. What a good way to involve his love of tinkering in his business life. Taylor's friends stop by, including Rodney and Natasha. The shop gets busier, and soon Taylor needs to hire some employees. Over time, he employs Amanda Carlson, Theresa Wade and Zeeshan Sims. Taylor is improving with his sales skills, and learns to dazzle his customers. Much to his surprise (and mine!), Taylor discovers that he has very good reputation. He is also maintaining his friendships with seemingly very little effort on his part, as he sees them at the shop often. Business is booming, and rakes up customer loyalty, as well as the simoleans. $12K in one session good enough for you? Taylor puts in long hours, but it's completely worth it.

(AN: I couldn't do without the energiser here. I'm sure it's a complete rort to stay at the store for 2 days at a stretch, but I don't intend to play him forever, and he needs to build up those 5 stores) Random shot I liked. If only the evil witch didn't keep showing up and sullying the lot. What's Ray been up to in the meantime? He's been up to his usual hijinks. Ok, so your humble author got more interested in Taylor this round, but decided it was time for Ray to have some more fun than writing restaurant guides and blowing bubbles all day.

Ray turns to nominal fiancee Candice for a date, but she's busy, so he falls back on his mainstay Jill. What a nice summer day at the park. Sunbaking is a very pleasant pastime. Awww... That evening, Michelle invites Ray to join her and her friends on and outing at Greens. Ray tickles his way to a super outing. Mrs Crumplebottom is too busy with the cards to notice the smooching going on. It's a shame, but other sims oblige by providing the fighting displays. It's a tiring day for the elder sim. Taylor's romance with Juan is going well. He takes him out on swanky dinners. Juan is a bit obsessed with following Taylor around to the extreme. Before long... Taylor decides the time is right, and pops the question to Juan, who happily accepts. Ray gets to know his future grandson-in-law in a suitably Ray-like fashion. 'Erm, sorry Juan, but all we have to offer you is grilled cheese. You're going to have to get used to it when we get married.' Hubby-to-be pops in to check out the store.
