It's late in the evening when Luke and Bettina move into their new "home". They didn't have time to change and are still in their evening wear. Now it is only an empty lot, but they have big plans for this place. For now they start with nothing. All they have is each other. There is no place to fish, so they can't earn money that way. Luckily, there are plenty of spots to dig up rocks and there is one place where you can look for frogs. Bettina is no help. She is just standing there, looking pretty. She is singing to entertain herself while waiting for Luke to return. Finally he is back! Luke doesn't mind doing all the work. He still loves Bettina anyway. That night they sleep on a bench. They could get a bench for each of them, but they rather stay close together. Luke made a start on their garden! Finally Bettina is helping out. But she is doing it all wrong. Instead of watering the plants she is pouring all the water on Luke! Oops! Look, it's Lilou (Luke's mother). Now she can meet Bettina, but Bettina and her future mother in law don't seem to get on very well. Bettina is glad when Lilou leaves. They now own a fridge, toilet and shower...but no bed. Sleeping on a bench is not refreshing and both Bettina and Luke are exhausted. After a quick nap Luke gets back to gardening, while Bettina sleeps a bit longer. Bettina wakes up to clean up the lot. They don't have a sink yet, but they do have a trash can. Even though you can hardly call this a home, it's no reason not to clean. After sleeping on a bench for 1 night, Bettina refuses to sleep on it again. She rather uses Luke's feet as a pillow. They both fall asleep a couple of times, but then finally they can afford a very comfortable bed! Whoohoo!

I had a family like that (the mother in law and wife didn't get along). The mother in law through a drink in the daughter's face (autonomously) lol!

Poor Luke and Bettina had to leave a perfectly good house to move into an empty lot. They are a cute couple so I'm sure they will make that place into the perfect home soon enough.
