1.3 - Error.

When Nicole wakes up the next day, she doesn't remember much. She just groans and sits up in her bed, putting her hand to her head. Moaning she gets out of bed and takes a shower - and then she realises... Her computer is on. So she sits down, looks at her newly made online dating profile and clasps her hands over her mouth...

What was she thinking when she got home? Hasn't her mom told her all the scary stories about girls meeting guys online and realise, he might not be as nice in reality?

But even though her profile has only been there overnight, she already has three messages. Two strangers, and one reply - to one she sent.

The strangers is someone called Richie, who wants to hear more about her name, inbetween making out - and some guy named Josh who wants to become friends

And then there is the reply - from Daniel.

"Haha! I can't believe we're chatting in here. See you soon? Daniel"

She panics and clicks around until she finds what she wrote him: 

"Hey Daniel. Funny to find you here? Nicole"

She moans... No, no, no! What was she thinking? But again - What was HE thinking? He's married! He's soon to be a father to a newborn - if he isn't so already. She shouldn't be writing him on a DATING SITE! If she should do anything, she should be making sure that they just stay friends. But nooo. Drunken Nicole betrayed her - yet again. Dammit. 

She lies around for a while, damning every move she made last night, until she reads the newspaper. A SimFest is going on at Legacy Park. She hasn't ever been to a SimFest since her parents usually thought it was a waste of time. But since her love for music is quite strong, she decides to go.

There is only one participant, so he gets to stay on stage for a while. Some bloke named Don - and as the only audience is the proprietor and Nicole. But she finds that she is enjoying the music.

 If only she had the gut to go on stage like that - but she'd never.

But the temptation is too strong, so when the SimFest ends and Don is declared the official winner (and only participant), Nicole goes aside to jam a little on her own guitar.

And before she knows it, the sun goes down, and she realises that she is joined by a fellow lover of music. 

Her name is Brandi Broke, whom Nicole makes quick friends with. Especially after discovering that Brandi is a virtuoso aswell. 

Nicole promises herself that she will invite Brandi over for some jamming later. It would be nice to have someone to share her passion with.
