Midnight Masquerade
Midnight Masquerade is a guided game in The Sims Pet Stories. It starts when Stephen Loyal, an accomplished SimCity chef, who leads a quiet and ordered life in the desert suburb of Mesa Flats has been lately unusually busy getting ready for his cousin's wedding and helping his employer Julianne cater the annual Mesa Flats Midnight Masquerade ball. Little does Stephen know that his life is about to get turned upside down....
While Stephen's cooking his first meal in a new house, his boss Julianne will come asking him to make the salad and the lobster as well as to create the ice sculpture for the Mesa Flats Midnight Masquarade. Soon, his friend, James, comes to greet him and remind that Celeste's wedding is soon to begin. Stephen then changes his outfit into formal one and heads to the chapel. After arriving there, he comes too late, so he apologizes to his cousin. Stephen later meets Gordon Fetching but he dislikes him after Gordon called him Late cousin. Stephen also meets Rachel and after dancing with her he askes her to go on a date but she rejects because she already has plans with Gordon. Celeste says to Stephen that her friend Erin won't be able to take care of her cat, Diva, while she's on honeymoon, so she asks Stephen to do it.
The next day, Erin Davis comes to the Stephen's house bringing him the cat. Sthephen thinks Erin is cute and offers her espresso. While they're driniking it, Diva starts to scratch up Stephen's favorite couch and Erin calms Stephen down by saying that Diva's just getting familiar there. She also says that she used to be a veterinarian, so he can trust her.
The next day, Stephen decides to buy a litter box for his cat. While in the store he sees Gordon flirting with one women who fell in love with him immediately. After that, Diva comes and scares Gordon, and the woman laughes at him. After Gordon found out that Diva is Stephen's cat, he says to him to keep her away and that he should also stay away from Rachel. Later, James comes and they watch TV where it's said that a con man was discovered operating in Arbor Falls and it's believed that he may have moved on to the Mesa Flats.
Next morning, Stephen decides to work out a bit and then he invites Rachel out. They go to the Club Z where they dance. While Rachel was asking Gordon whom he's gonna invite to the Masquarade, Gordon comes and interrupts them. Stephen then goes home.
Another day, Stephen decides to give attention to Diva so he plays with her a bit. Later, Erin comes at his house and he asks her on a date. They go to Chez Prix, but after eating food they feel sick as well as the whole restaurant. They decide to take photos in the photo booth and head home.
The next day, Stephen prepares salad for the Masquerade but Diva eats it. He goes to Six Points Plaza and buys some groceries. He meets Erin there and asks her to the Masquerade and she says she'd love to go with him, but Gordon already asked her.
