The next afternoon, Adriane was invited to Marty Keaton’s Halloween party. She didn't have anything to wear, so she decided to look through trash cans to see what she could get together. Adriane managed to find an old hot dog costume that was thrown away after the diner tried a hot dog promotion. It wasn’t great timing for the promotion since everyone had already had their fill of hot dogs from the summer festival.
However, Marty Keaton loved hot dogs. He was enamored by her costume. Adriane admittedly found Marty equally irresistible.
They talked throughout the party and Adriane decided she wanted to spend the night with Marty. “Sure, let’s do it” Marty enthusiastically said. Even though it was early, she decided to go to bed anyway. Adriane was surprised to find out Marty didn't want to have that kind of sleep over.
Adriane
was very optimistic about her and Marty’s relationship. Despite Marty’s hints
to her leaving, Adriane decided she wanted to cook for him. Marty insisted on helping, so that he could speed things along.
“We’ll
be doing this a lot more often now, huh Marty?” Adriane said with a wink. “Yeah,
whatever…” responded Marty.
After
her meal with Marty, Adriane decided she would go to sleep for the night. To
Adriane’s surprise someone else had the same idea.
Adriane quietly changed and left to sleep elsewhere for the night.
“It
was great to have you come to my party, Adriane…” Marty sarcastically said to
her “We should do this more often.” Adriane left without acknowledging his
comment.
When
Adriane woke up from her familiar park bench the next morning, she felt
horrible.
She
took off her sweater and vest when she got into the bathroom, thinking she may
have overheated. Still, despite her efforts Adriane still got sick.
After her trip to the bathroom, she felt a lot better. Adriane thought it still might be best if she
didn’t continue on with an empty stomach, and felt inclined to participate in
the park's morning pie eating contest.
Adriane
forced her face into the pie. She ate bite after bite, only feeling sorry for
herself. Sadder with every bite, she couldn't stop thinking about Marty.
At
the end of the competition, Adriane ate so much that she couldn't even remember why she was so upset
in the first place.
After
milling around the park for a little while longer, Adriane made her way to the
karaoke bar.
She
decides to take a nap before her performance, and sleep off her full stomach.
Not everyone was keen on Adriane’s choice of nap space. Someone almost woke her up but then recognized her as the town hobo.
After her nap, Adriane got ready for her show.
Adriane
just wasn't feeling up to performing tonight. The audience was unforgiving.
She
managed through her performance. “That
was awful!” the proprietor yelled at Adriane. “I’m not paying you a single
simoleon, in fact you’re going to perform here in two days for free!” Adriane
was very upset by this but she didn't dare disagree, she couldn't forfeit one
of the two gig locations she had.
That
night she slept outside of the bar once more.
When Adriane awoke, she found that none of her clothes would
fit her. She quickly went around to the dumpsters at the nearby diner to see if
she could find anything there. Adriane pulled out an old tattered dress that
was smellier than she. She cried to herself as she put it on. Suddenly it made
since to her. The morning sickness, the craving for pie, the large belly… the
other night, with Marty; Adriane was going to have a baby!
