Piers: Bunter always comes through. Good man.
Just about then, Bunter arrived home and joined the others for tea.
Bunter: You'll be happy to hear that I've raised almost $10,000 to add to our building fund.
Caprice: Marvin, that's wonderful!
Bunter: Oh, and Caprice? I want to talk to you. Soon. About the changes around here.
Caprice (glancing away as she notes the look in his eyes): Ok.
Construction started with installing a pool where the dog yard had been. They still needed to do landscaping, but the pool had been a big step.
As requested, the dungeon was cleared and parking was set up for vehicles underground. There was room left for a small recreation nook, which included space for the SimFu equipment.
Of course, Caprice got her cozy nectar cellar. She enjoyed decorating it for Hera. ...Piers and Bunter, who both have mastered Handiness, upgraded the TV and wall speaker in the rec room. Hera had found the new couch free of charge while checking makeshift furniture at the College School of Art.
Hera fell in love with the nectar room. It was so relaxing just to get away and sip nectar while listening to the piped-in music.
Caprice: Hera, I was thinking about what we should do with that dorm room. Wouldn't it be perfect for a nursery?
Hera: A nursery! How lovely. I can hardly wait to get started!
Caprice: Creating the nursery? ...Or creating the baby?
Both Ladies: (giggles)
Caprice: Marvin, you found a painting of our zodiac sign. It's a female Sagittarius!
Bunter: I thought you'd like that.
Bunter: And I built this just for you. I've heard fairies love to ride these small trains.
Caprice (leaping into the tiny engine): So much fun! Thank you!
Caprice found an elegant rug to add to the main floor of the manor. They wouldn't be able to do much for the large areas of the home before the wedding, but Hera had wanted a few touches added.
Bunter knew Caprice had a wish for a fairy house, so he built one for her. It was good to have the Handy trait! He wanted to make the manor attractive to her--because he didn't want Caprice to leave after the wedding. ...That night, Caprice drank fairy nectar inside her new home and dropped peacefully off to sleep.
After all the adventuring and work, Bunter was glad to crawl into bed, even if he was alone. ...Mulder noticed something different about Bunter, and for the first time, went to check out the strange sim. But he decided not to disturb Bunter's sleep. Animals were sensitive that way.
