After all the simulations had been run, the girls got out of they're respective pods and looked over to Todd who had gotten out first.
Each of the ladies who had signed up for this experiment expecting the $100 owed to them.
Todd: "Thank you for the lovely time ladies." As he pulled out his wallet.


Ashley: "It was mighty fine getting to spend some time with a nice fella, but I gotta go take care of my Pa." As the shortstack sheep got some money from him.
He kissed her hand before she left.


Xiyue: "No problem, wish it had of worked out better." The pudgy panda said taking her money and leaving.
Todd: "Likewise."


Anya: "It was nice getting to spend a good time with you for old times sake, but... I know it can't work between us again Todd." As the beautiful brown bear accepted the cash and left.
Todd: "Same here. Thanks for giving it a shot anyway."


Vera: "Thanks for ruining my tough image in that." The currently sour pear of a polar bear said as she got her cash and stormed out, coming back for a moment to stomp on his his foot.
Todd: "Yeowch!!" As he hopped on one foot.


Whitney: "That was a lot of fun Todd, sorry you aren't exactly my type. Would love to have you as a friend and card game buddy though!" As the jiggly bunny got her payment and kissed him on the forehead.
Todd: "Sure thing, see you at the tournament."


Jessica: "Hehe, thanks for the fun time! Oh, but it turns out the contract between our families is for me and Charlie." As the wide wolf gave him a head pat before getting her cash.
Todd: "Just try to not break my little bro."

Darlene didn't say anything, just wanting out of here.
Todd: "Darlene?"
She looked him in the eyes and said: "Todd, it was a waste of time, and we both knew it going into this. I know you love me, but it'll never work out." The Doberman left the dough and dashed out.

Kichaa: "You are a good man, and that was a nice touch with the homemade vegetarian meal, but let's face it I'd probably leave you flattened somewhere." As the heavy hippo got her hundred smackers and went on her merry way.
Todd: "You are probably right."


Adlai: "If I may have your permission master, may I go with Alex? With as much trouble as he gets into I think he would be in more need of a 'bodyguard'."
Todd: "Of course you can Adlai. No problem at all."

Khatara: "Todd. That was a great time.. but... like I said in the simulation. We are too different. Wish it could've worked though." As the big Bengal got her hundred bucks and walked out, her tail drooping behind her.
Todd: "Me too.."

Jackie: "That was sweet, but... sorry to say Alex is more my type boss. I like my guys a little on the rough and rugged side." The wobbling koala said getting her payment.
Todd: "That's... understandable. Best of luck to you both." As his voice cracked a little.

Then, it was just Todd and his sister Danielle who had lent him the use of her lab.
Danielle: "So who's the lucky lady, or ladies that gets you?" The curious cat tilted her head noticing the empty room. "Todd? Where'd everyone go? Is anyone still in the pods?" As she dashed around finding them empty.
Todd: "They all left. I uh, I thank you for your time and the use of your equipment sis."
Danielle: "Sorry it didn't work out. I was sure at least one of them would have been your perfect match."
Todd smiled sadly: "It's whatever. Maybe one of these days." Not believing his own words.
Danielle: "Do you want to spend the night? You don't look like you need to be alone right now."
Todd: "My darling little Dani, you worry too much."
The siblings then shared a hug before Todd left to walk home. Wandering around town aimlessly, he eventually arrived at his house a few hours later.
He exhaled with a sigh before going inside to be greeted by the cold walls, and the deafening silence of solitude.

Todd: "Maybe, maybe I'm just meant to be alone?" As he curled up to his pillow and nodded off
