lana’s platonic date with fellow babysitter zoe patel - their childcare agency assigned them to houses that share a playground. they’ve had weekly play-dates with their toddler charges for a couple months now but this is the first time they’ve hung out on their own. they had a great time ♡

club night ♡

candy asked lana to be her fishing mentor so she can supplement her dj income - my girl was more than happy to help. afterward they had fish tacos and hit candy’s mini bubble blower while watching simder.

lana quit her barista gig to become a babysitter instead - much more appropriate since she aspires to be a super parent.

tfw you go to geekcon with your ex and your main and it’s actually fun.

their first sleepover ended up lasting three days - aaron’s next freelance project wasn’t due until the weekend and lana had some time off so they whiled away cool sunny days and crisp clear nights, woohooing like wild, eating takeout in bed, playing cards, lighting sparklers, doting on callie the cowplant, chatting with flowers. lana is officially smitten.

lana asked aaron to spend the night this time - they woohooed and pillow-talked all night. he told her about his ex-wife valeria, who left him for another man after she had a miscarriage. she told him about being raised by her aunt josie and having no memory of her parents, who may or may not be alive somewhere. the sky turned pink before they drifted off to sleep.

aaron came over to check out lana’s new place and finish freaks and geeks. he brought some excellent fish tacos and cheered on her progress, admiring her cheery disposition and ambitious spirit. iris is the only other person who’s ever rooted for lana, supported her, admired her. where did this man come from? this man who makes her laugh, makes her think, makes her feel like her dreams will come true? she can’t wait to know more.

new build! goodbye studio, hello one-bedroom. my bby lana is slowly moving up in the world. she digs being a barista but the early morning shifts are 0/10 for my little night owl, so she’s looking for a different part-time or freelance gig.

they finally untangled themselves and ended the binge-watch around 2am. lana walked him out, electricity sparking between them. she could tell aaron wanted to kiss her so she just took a deep breath and leapt in. after a second of shock, they flowed into each other like water. callie the cowplant approved.

aaron came over to binge freaks and geeks a few days later. lana spent the hour before his arrival tidying up and making veggie samosas - he brought a six-pack of wutaheftabir and they couldn’t keep their hands off each other. she was curled up in his lap by the third episode.

lana leigh love, my master fisherwoman!

aaron texted lana asking her to a “casual” seafood dinner, “no pressure.” lana scrounged up enough coin for a cute dress and matching pumps, nerves kicking around her tummy. they had a delightful time as “friends,” laughing and chatting until the diving pelican switched off their lights for the night. they ended with a luxuriously warm embrace, leaving lana in a dreamy haze.

my bby lana made it to fishing level 9! here she is angling for a big catch after getting a promotion at the frothy foamer. burgeoning barista and near-expert fisherwoman all before dinner 🥂

now that lana has a roof over her head and charmed her way through a job interview, she’s off to her first shift as a part-time barista at the frothy foamer. callie the cowplant looks on approvingly after receiving her mandatory pets.
