Part 53: Too Crabby To Dance

Once Buddy's dance is mercifully over, Candy and her entourage come over to join us.




We're all so stoked.

Candy turns to Zack.




Sam nods, and Candy heads up the steps to her 'digs'.



Crab statuette? I put butterfly sculptures all over the roof, but--

--oh.



Lyndsay pulls out a rolled-up Scroll and starts frantically bashing away.

From off-screen:




The crabs chase Zack and Sapphire off.







Sam will never escape his past.




Fortunately, Sam can Hyaa! crabs just like cows. Crabs will scuttle directly away from us; all we have to do is chase them onto a sandy beach (of which there are three) and get close enough to scare them into digging themselves under.

There are only five crabs, and they all start out pretty close to beaches. It's over almost before it begins.



I definitely recommend the video version of this scene, which you can find at the end of this update.

Candy gets on stage and puts on the tunes. Let's dance!

Lyndsay dances for a while, then laughs and hustles out of the way.

Sam's turn!

...
sam
please stop thrusting your tiny pelvis, it's disturbing


After a vogue-ish pose, Sam runs over to join Lyndsay on the other dance floor, and...

Uh oh.

Buddy starts his usual dance routine. One by one the other dancers slow to an unimpressed stop.

Buddy realizes that the cheering behind him has stopped. But he's a good sport!

Break it down, Buddy!

Yeah. Straight up.

Buddy bounds back to his feet and joins the rest of us.



Sam complies as his friends cheer.

And everybody dances!

Yeah. Awright. I think we're done here.

Night falls on Candypalooza, but the party parties on! The residents of this island sleep during the day so that they can party all night. As you do.

Where should Sam and his friends go next? The Forest of the Elves, Spookane, or Cutopia?

The cutscene takes longer than the actual running of the crabs.

Recommended! MySims have many dances at their disposal; some of them are terrible.
