Abby sent me a message saying come by after 8

[Crater]

But after 8 Pierre's store says it's closed and I can't go in :S

I think if you befrend someone past a certain level you can enter their home after closing...

[Crater]

Well if it sent me the message...

I think I tried going by the day after she mailed me that message, I didn't think it would be timed

[Zeratul]

I waited around inside the house till 8 and it didnt work, had to go outside and back in

It's also not exact; I got the cutscene you're referring to somewhere between 7-8.

Honestly, I don't sweat those kinds of messages. They're not quests, and I figured there'd eventually be a day where I'd be trying to get to Pierre's and wander in for other reasons and the cutscene would trigger. Sure enough, it happened long after I forgot that Abby asked me about it.

This "don't-give-an-eff" cutscene strategy has successfully netted me pretty much every heart-level milestone with all the characters I've befriended. You'll get them as you play the game, as long as you're not neglecting one area completely in your play style (like, never going to the mountains or the beach, or never entering certain houses to say 'sup to the residents).
