With Valentine's Day next week, everyone was getting things ready for some serious fun (in more ways than one). The biggest thing tied to Valentine's Day in Lyre/Animalia was the "extra-spicy" party at the Meat Market. Not only were Lacey, Stacey, Trixie, Dixie, and Vixi going to be there, but also a few new bimbos who had arrived especially for conversion on Valentine's Day.
While Miss Fabina still had some distaste for bimbos, her Zoom calls with Ursula were helping her overcome that. As it turned out, the bimbos who were rooming with Ursula were bimbos because they had been raised by... rather backwards parents, to say the least. This did help her be less irritated with them, but she still had a lot of frustrations to deal with.

Another big event was the arrival of the cruise ship being donated to Mieni Atoll for a tropical "hotel and casino", partly because of the steadily increasing numbers of bimbos permanently moving to Mieni Atoll. Fortunately, there were also a few professional engineers also coming over to help integrate it into the colony. Just as well, since Harold and Kirana not only had to take care of their children, but also the bimbos that were moving in and seeking conversion.

Miles got a nice preview of his next story for spring break as he handed in his report/interview of Miss Juliet's newest students. While he was surprised that he was going to be in Australia for Spring Break, mainly doing coverage of Uluru and Northland, Australia's two-part colony, he was glad he got some time to do some research and preparations for his trip.

Meanwhile, the bimbos staying with Ursula were making more than a few waves after their conversion. Not only had they developed all-natural curves, but they also had well-developed muscles to make sleazebags and douchebros think twice than hit on them, despite most of them being plant-eating dinosaurs. Fortunately, Ursula wasn't about to eat them, either figuratively or literally (as some internet weirdos suggested) or turn them out of her home.

Finally, there was something being discussed between the Horizon scientists in Lyre/Animalia and Heiya Island. With the surge of so many Asian people suffering with various degrees of obesity, there was an opportunity to explore why the Animalia virus was making some people/Animalians larger and more buff than others, without using megafauna/Dinotopian conversions.
