Cooprider 1 Round 5

Good Mother?
Last time poor Kricket had baby boy, Centapede with her live in boyfriend Quavi while continuing to raise her 3 kids from her marriage to Leeland. Leeland had cheated on her with Venice Holiday and moved out. The 3 oldest, Grasshopper, Scorpian and Butterfly all became teens and left for college. Before leaving Grasshopper started a lovely garden which she is hoping will still be alive by the time she returns to take over the house. The biggest question was if Quavi could be a good father and he really seemed to be. But after we left this house Quavi hooked up with the same Venice Holiday again (he had already fathered a child with her as well) and left his girlfriend and son to marry Venice. Of course now Kricket hates Venice for taking a second man from her.
Rachel: Hi there Kricket. How are you doing?
Kricket: Well, I've been better. I just don't understand why all my men leave me for Venice? What's great about her anyway?
Rachel: I'm not really sure myself. People seem to like her. Except for those who really know her like her father and daughter.
Kricket: Well at least my kids like me. I just don't know if I can ever trust another man.
Rachel: I would definitely keep my heart guarded if I were you.

Rachel: Cade was Quavi's dog, I guess that will tend to happen if the owner leaves without them.
Rachel: What the hey?!?!?
Kricket: Leeland and I have rekindled things a bit.
Rachel: Oh that's right, I saw you at his house last week.
Kricket: Yeah, he promised he would be faithful this time.
Rachel: Kricket are you sure this is a good idea?
Kricket: Good idea or not, a woman has needs. I need another dream date.
Rachel: It's up to you in the end.
-That night-
Rachel: Hey the garden club is here!
Kricket: yeah I thought it would be a good surprise for Grasshopper if she comes back to a Garden Club membership.
Rachel: That's so nice.
Rachel: Lady, she does have 4 dogs which are hard to keep up with and at least it's outside!

Rachel: Ut-Oh weeds! Quick Kricket before she notices!
Kricket: Oh Grasshopper will be SO happy!
Rachel: Um Quavi, you sorta left Kricket since that date. Why are you bringing her gifts? Oh well at least Centapede will have something from his father.
Rachel: What did you wish for Kricket?
Kricket: Love.
Rachel: What about Leeland?
Kricket: I think you're right, I'm better off not trusting him. I need someone more ideally matched to me.
Me: Brad Kaufman a survivor of Toddler Mania. Welcome dude!
Rachel: She looks so happy.
Me: I hope she stays that way.
Rachel: Don't you have something to do with that?
Me: Ummm. . . look it's the dogs' birthday!
Rachel: Oh excuse me. Looks like they aren't wasting anytime.
Me: They are in love. Even if he is still in college.
Rachel: Welcome home Centapede. And hey, your first A+! Way to go!!!!
Centapede: Thanks lady.
Centapede: Mom! Mom! I got an A+!
Rachel: She's ahhhh a little busy. She'll be with with you.
Rachel: Looks like Centapede isn't the only successful member of the family.
Rachel: Another little gardener in the family I see.
Centapede: I like it all right.
Rachel: What's Quavi doing here while Kricket's on a date?
Rachel: Dude, seriously. This is sorta sad. The guys cheat on Kricket but just can't stay away.
Rachel: Are you OK Kricket?
Kricket: I don't know. It must have been something I ate.
Me: Likely.
Rachel: Wow Centapede got an A+ before you even learned how to study.
Kricket: My boy is smart, what can I say?
Rachel: Holy cow! This must be one heck of a date.
Rachel: If the car is a rockin'. . .
Me: What?
Rachel: It must be a dream date in progress.
Rachel: Hurray for the return of Cade!
Rachel: Yes Kricket?
Rachel: I don't think it was something you ate.
Rachel: Yep, that's what did it.
Me: Oh no, they're doing it again.
Rachel: Wow, these two are dream date central.
Rachel: Looks like you're getting better at gardening too.
Kricket: Sure am. I really want to make sure the garden is really nice for Grasshopper.
Rachel: Well, you're definitely 100 times the mother Venice is.
Kricket: Speaking of being a mother!!!
Rachel: I guess there's no doubt that Brad is the father.
Rachel: Speaking of Brad.
Me: Yep, he just happened by. It's like he know it was time.
Rachel: So what did you name him?
Kricket: Beetle. Isn't he just the cutest little Beetle?
Rachel: Sure is.
Kricket: Grasshopper's crops are in. She'll be so happy.
Kricket: *singing* Whose got the cutie little baby bootie? Beetle does, baby Beetle does.
Rachel: Enjoying single motherhood?
Kricket: Sure am.
Rachel: Happy birthday Centapede!
Rachel: Handsome. Very much the spitting image of Quavi except with brown hair.
Centapede: Thanks, I think.
Rachel: So what do you want out of life?
Centapede: A life of pleasure.
Rachel: Sweet!
Centapede: And I want 50 1st dates.
Me: *Bangs head on desk repeatedly*
Rachel: Stop that.
Centapede: What?
Rachel: Not you.
Rachel: Ah Coqui, they are having a private moment. At least I go in the bathroom. Maybe not the best option, but it works.
Rachel: Wow you did it! 50 dream dates! Even I haven't done that yet. Congrats!
Kricket: Thanks, I couldn't be happier.

Me: Now let's just look at how many aspiration points you get with 50 dream dates minus what we used. Dang, that's a lot!
Kricket: Now that I'm done with my dream I'm helping Centapede with some scholarships.
Rachel: Well that won't get you mother of the year, but that's still a lot better than Venice.
Rachel: Wow, this week has been awesome for this house. And there's Bronx Rosada who gave them the final star. Also his is the next house we'll be visiting.
Rachel: Happy birthday Baby Boy Beetle!!!
Rachel: Spitting image of Brad.
Rachel: What are you wishing for Centapede? Centapede? *sigh* Teens.
Rachel: I think it was love.

Centapede: You sure are pretty and stuff.
Mercedes: Well thank you, I like you too. So what would you say about me coming with you to college?
Centapede: Oh hey babe, I think you're great and we had a great date, I'm just not ready to settle down.
Rachel: More gifts from men. At least this is the one she's dating now.
Rachel: She is a very good mother.
Rachel: Looks like it's about time to go. Nice going Centapede!
Centapede: Sure, thanks.
Points: Just 1 for Beetle
