(Scene cuts to Shubie, Nancy, Martha and Sadie relaxing on chairs at a swimming pool)
Nancy: "Wow, Shubie, I can’t believe that the mall opened up a pool behind it. This pool is so much nicer than that trashy one on the other side of town."
Sadie: "Why are you saying that to Shubie? I’m the one who told you about it. She didn’t even know it existed until yesterday!"
Shubie: "I know right, that place is always packed with little kids. There’s hardly room for anyone to swim in it. Hopefully not too many people will find out about this one so it won’t get as overcrowded. It’ll be like our little secret." The women laugh. Debbie walks past them.
Nancy: "Hey Debbie, out here to relax and get some sun too?"
Debbie: "No, I’m a lifeguard."
Martha: "Debbie’s a lifeguard here?! But what about that lobster?"
Nancy: "Oh! You mean that really muscular one? He’s so handsome!"
Sadie: "I know right, what a hunk! He’s so dreamy, if Nat wasn’t even more attractive I’d definitely be chasing after him." The women look at her strangely.
Sadie: "Did I say Nat? I meant Fred! Who wouldn’t find his, uh, personality attractive?" Sadie laughs nervously.
Shubie: "He’s probably too busy lifeguarding at the Goo Lagoon so they had to hire someone like Debbie. Don’t worry though, I’m sure that the mall made sure that she’s perfectly qualified."
(Scene cuts to Debbie sleeping at the lifeguard stand)
(Scene cuts back to the women)
Martha: "Well it looks like I’d better take the opportunity to get some shuteye. You don’t know how much Tom’s snoring has kept me up lately." Martha puts an eye blind over her eyes and starts snoring.
Sadie: "Oh I think I know how much it’s been keeping you awake." Sadie, Shubie and Nancy laugh.
(Scene cuts to Susie, Isabel and Tyler by the pool)
Susie: "Wanna swim in the shallow end?"
Isabel: "Nah, the shallow end is lame. Hey Tyler, I bet you’re too scared to jump off that diving board."
Tyler: "Am not!"
Isabel: "Are too!"
Tyler: "Am not!"
Isabel: "Oh yeah? Why don’t you jump off of it then? Or are you too sea-chicken?" Isabel starts bucking like a chicken.
Tyler: "Fine, I’ll do it!" Tyler runs over to the diving board and jumps off of it. Tyler lands in the deep end.
Tyler: "Oh no, I can’t swim! Help! Help! I’m drowning!" Martha wakes up from her nap.
Martha: "Tyler?! My son -I mean- Tyler’s drowning! Help! Help! Somebody do something!" Debbie wakes up.
Debbie: "Someone’s drowning?! Let’s see, there’s gotta be something about that in the handbook." Debbie pulls out a handbook and flips through the pages frantically.
Martha: "Someone save him! He’s drowning!" Shubie jumps out of her chair and dives into the pool. Shubie grabs Tyler  and lifts him out of the pool. Shubie gets out of the pool and pushes down on Tyler’s chest. Tyler spits out some water.
Martha: "He’s alive! Oh thank Neptune! I don’t know what I’d do if he drowned! I mean, I don’t know what that boy’s mother would do if he drowned! Yep, that woman definitely isn’t me!"
Nancy: "Wow Shubie, I didn’t know that you knew how to save someone from drowning!"
Shubie: "Oh yeah, I’m a certified lifeguard. I took a life guarding class one spring during freshman year of high school. I was going to work at Goo Lagoon that summer after softball ended but then I got brought up to the Varsity team during the state tournament. Little did I know that I would become the starting catcher, bat over .500 and spend the entire summer getting recruited by colleges all over the sea!" Shubie laughs. Sadie rolls her eyes.
Sadie: "Oh aren’t you little miss perfect? What’s next, you’re going to find a one hundred dollar bill under one of your big feet?"
Shubie: "What was that Sadie? Oh look! $100! It was right under my foot!" Shubie picks up a one hundred dollar bill off the ground. A man walks up to her.
Pool Manager: "Excuse me, young lady, what’s your name?"
Shubie: "My name’s Shubie Peterson."
Pool Manager: "Hello Shubie, I’m the manager of this pool. That was really heroic of you to save that kid’s life. We could’ve been in a lot of legal trouble had you not been here to save the day. How’d you like a job at the pool? We could really use a competent lifeguard here and it’d be a great way to earn some easy money."
Shubie: "Yeah, it would be an easy way to make money, but I already have a job in the clothing department and I just can’t give that up. I really love working there it always puts a smile on my face when I help someone pick out the right clothes."
Pool Manager: "Well you won’t be working there anymore! As soon as you said you working at the clothing store, I immediately called your boss and he agreed to let you work for me during the summer months and then work for him during the rest of the year. Don’t worry though, you’ll still be earning just as much here as you will working in the store. Enjoy the rest of your day and I’ll see you at 9 am tomorrow! I’m sure you’ll make this pool and this mall proud." The pool manager walks away.
(Scene cuts to Nat, Shubie, Susie and Baby Billy eating dinner at Nat’s house)
Nat: "How was work today, Shubie?"
Shubie: "Well I got a new job so it was interesting to say the least."
Nat: "You got a new job?! Did they close down the clothing store or something?"
Shubie: "Oh no, the clothing store is still there. I was just hired by the mall to be a lifeguard at their new pool during the summer and then I’ll work at the clothing store for the rest of the year."
Nat: "Oh that’s exciting! Now you won’t get bored working at the same job all year round since you’ll be working two."
Shubie: "Yeah I guess so but I don’t know... I love my job in the clothing store so I’d be fine with working there all year long. And what if something goes wrong at the pool? What if someone gets seriously injured or drowns while I’m on duty?"
Nat: "Don’t worry Shubie it’ll only be for three or four months so you won’t have to work there for too long. And I’ve seen you save Susie and Billy from choking on their toys all the time so I’m sure you’ll do fine. You’ll be the most attractive looking lifeguard at the pool too." Shubie gets up and grabs Nat’s plate.
Shubie: "I knew you’d be supportive." Shubie kisses Nat on the cheek.
(Scene cuts to Shubie sitting at the lifeguard stand the next day)
Fred: "Cannonball!" Fred runs onto the diving board. As he jumps off diving board, one of his legs snap.
Fred: "MY LEG!" Fred falls into the pool. Shubie jumps down from the lifeguard stand and runs into the pool. Shubie grabs Fred off of the bottom of the pool and drags him out of the water. Shubie pushes down on his chest until he spits out some water.
Fred: "Thanks Shubie, you saved me!"
Shubie: "You’re welcome Fred. Maybe don’t jump off the diving board next time. You know how brittle your legs are." Pilar walks past them.
Pilar: "Hey Evelyn, watch this!"
Evelyn: "Go away, Pilar. Can’t you see that I’m trying to read?" Pilar jumps off the diving board but instead of jumping into the water, Pilar is shot straight up in the air. Pilar falls down onto the diving board and lands on his groin.
Pilar: "That’s gonna leave a mark." Pilar falls into the pool. Shubie jumps in and drags him out. Shubie pushes on his chest and he spits out some water.
Shubie: "Jumping off of diving boards isn’t going to get you any girls, Pilar."
(Scene cuts to Shubie sitting at the lifeguard stand) Shubie looks at her watch and blows her whistle.
Shubie: "It’s adult swim! Everyone out of the pool!" All of the kids groan and get out of the pool.
Tina-Fran: "Oh look Charlie it’s adult swim! Let’s go in the pool we’ll have it all to ourselves!" Tina and Charlie throw out their corn dogs and go into the pool. Charlie notices Taylor standing by the pool unhappily.
Charlie: "What’s the matter, little guy? Don’t you want to come in the pool and have fun?"
Taylor: "Yeah."
Charlie: "Well too bad you can’t ‘cause you’re not an adult!" Charlie splashes water at Taylor and starts laughing. Charlie gets a cramp from laughing too hard and falls into the water.
Tina: "Charlie?! Someone do something! Charlie’s drowning!" Shubie jumps down from the lifeguard stand and dives into the pool. Shubie lifts Charlie onto her back and struggles to carry him out of the pool. Shubie puts Charlie on the ground and pushes on his chest. Charlie spits out some water. Tina hugs Shubie.
Tina: "You saved him! Thank you so much! I don’t know what I’d do without this hunk." Charlie and Tina walk away. Shubie looks at her watch.
Shubie: "Adult swim’s over!" The kids cheer and jump back into the pool. Taylor grabs a floatie and walks towards the pool.
Charlie: "Nice floatie, loser."
Taylor: "At least I didn’t almost drown." Sadie, Nancy and Martha walk over to the pool.
Sadie: “Hey Shubie, isn’t it adult swim right now?”
Shubie: "No you just missed it." Sadie looks at her watch.
Sadie: "Dang. Well we wouldn’t have missed it if Martha hadn’t asked to stop at three different restaurants on the way here." Martha laughs awkwardly.
Nancy: "So how’s your first day on the job been, Shubie?"
Shubie: "It’s been alright. Although saving so many people has been killing my back. I’m exhausted." 
Fred: "Cannonball!" Fred jumps off the diving board and his leg snaps.
Fred: "My other leg!"
Shubie: "Fred! What did I tell you about jumping off the diving board?"
Fred: "Sorry, I couldn’t help it." Fred falls to the bottom of the pool. 
Nancy: "Well, you’d better go save Fred. See you tonight at the bowling game, Shubie." Nancy, Martha and Sadie walk away.
Martha: "Oh! Can we stop for chili dogs on the way back?" Shubie sighs and dives into the pool.
(Scene cuts to Shubie sitting at the lifeguard stand later that day) Nancy, Martha and Sadie walk over to the pool.
Nancy: "You ready for our game, Shubie? Those sharks aren’t gonna know what hit them!"
Shark: "Hey! That’s my family you’re talking about!"
Nancy: "Sorry. I was talking about a bowling team called the Sharks."
Shubie: "You bet! I can’t wait to destroy them!" Shubie jumps down from the lifeguard stand. 
Pool Manager: "Uh, Mrs. Peterson? Where do you think you’re going?"
Shubie: "Me and my friends have a bowling game tonight."
Pool Manager: "I’m sorry Mrs. Peterson, but your shift isn’t over. So get your behind back on that lifeguard chair." The pool manager walks away. Shubie sighs.
Nancy: "Don’t worry about it Shubie. We can easily beat the Sharks without you, and I’m sure that we’ll be able to find someone to fill in for you tonight."
Sadie: "Yeah we could probably get Patty or Nazz to do it." Nancy, Martha and Sadie walk away.
(Scene cuts to Shubie sitting at the lifeguard stand the next day) Shubie looks at watch.
Shubie: "I’d better get going it’s almost time for our game against Bass Vegas!" Shubie puts on a baseball cap and jumps down from the stand. The pool manager walks over.
Pool Manager: "What are you doing, Shubie?"
Shubie: "I’m going to coach my daughter’s baseball game tonight. It’s going to be starting soon."
Pool Manager: "But your shift isn’t over Shubie and I can’t leave my pool unattended."
Shubie: "Can’t Debbie or one of the other lifeguards cover the end of my shift? I’ve been working all day for the past two days and I really need to go to this."
Pool Manager: "There are no other lifeguards. I fired Debbie and all of the other ones because they weren’t as qualified as you are. Plus Debbie’s work schedule at the Barg ‘N Mart left her virtually no time to work here, but that’s beside the point. You’re the only lifeguard at this pool which is why I need you to work all day every single day of the week, no exceptions."
Shubie: "But my daughter..."
Pool Manager: "No exceptions." The pool manager walks away. Nancy, Martha and Sadie walk towards Shubie.
Nancy: "Hey, Shubie. Aren’t you going to the baseball game tonight? It’s gonna be starting soon."
Shubie: "I can’t. The pool manager’s gotten rid of all the other lifeguards and is making me work all day for every single day of the week now. He won’t let me leave early to go to the game."
Sadie: "Oh so that’s why Debbie’s been at the house a lot more lately. Don’t worry, Shubie, if you ever need someone to check on Nat and the kids for you while you’re working I’d be more than happy to help! I can even make dinner for them if you’re working late."
Shubie: "Thanks Sadie, but I don’t think I’ll be needing any help right now..."
Sadie: "Oh don’t be so modest! I’ll go check on Nat for you right after the game."
Shubie: "Oh ok, thanks Sadie."
Martha: "And don’t worry about the game either, Shubie. I’m sure we’ll be able to beat Bass Vegas with me as head coach."
Shubie: "Thanks Martha. Let me know how the game goes!"
Nancy: "You got it, Shubie!" Nancy, Martha and Sadie walk away. Shubie walks back over to the lifeguard stand.
Shubie: "I never had to work this much at the clothing store."
(Scene cuts to Shubie making pancakes the next day) Shubie’s back spasms as she lifts up the pan. Nat and Susie walk into the room.
Shubie: "Good morning Nat! Good morning Susie!" Shubie puts some pancakes on their plates.
Nat: "Good morning Shubie!"
Shubie: "Sorry I couldn’t coach the game last night, Susie. I heard that when won 7 to 2 though!"
Susie: "Yeah, I hit a double too!"
Shubie: "Aw, I wish I’d been there to see it." Shubie bends down to feed Baby Billy and her back spasms again. Shubie moans in pain.
Nat: "Are you okay, Shubie?"
Shubie: "Yeah, I’m fine. My back just hurts a lot from having to carry so many people out of the pool. I’ve been working a lot lately."
Nat: "Maybe you should talk to your boss about it. I’m sure he wouldn’t want someone in so much pain to be working right now. What if you won’t be able to lift someone out because your back is in too much pain?"
Shubie: "You’re right, Nat. That could really cause some legal trouble if the only lifeguard at the pool is too injured to rescue people. Maybe I’ll finally get some time off."
(Scene cuts to Shubie driving to the pool) Shubie parks her car in the mall parking lot and sees a ton of ambulances surrounding the pool. 
Shubie: "This can’t be good." Shubie gets out of her car and sees Jennifer-Millie standing at the entrance of the pool.
Shubie: "Hey Jennifer, why are there so many ambulances here? Did someone drown?!"
Jennifer-Millie: "No, nobody drowned. It turns out that this swimming pool was filled with toxic chemicals that make people’s skin turn green." Two medics walk by pushing Tom and Martha on medical carts. Tom and Martha are glowing neon green.
Martha: "Honey, I’m scared." Martha and Tom are wheeled into an ambulance. A group of police officers walk by dragging the pool manager in handcuffs.
Pool manager: "I didn’t know that there were toxic chemicals in the pool, I swear!"
Lady officer: "I took my kids to this pool and now they’re sitting in hospital beds! Tell it to the judge, pal. Scum like you belong in solitary confinement!" The officer throws the pool manager in a police car.
Jennifer-Millie: "Well thankfully this problem is all taken care of now. The pool is going to be permanently closed so that no one else can get infected."
Shubie: "Really? That’s great! Now my back won’t be so sore anymore! And I’ll be able to actually spend time with my family and friends! I can work at the clothing store all year round! Oh and also no one else will get infected."
Jennifer-Millie: "That’s great Shubie. Say, you never actually went in the pool yourself, did you?" 
Shubie: "Uh, nope! I never went in it." Shubie’s fin starts glowing. Shubie covers her fin.
Jennifer-Millie: "Okay. Well, I’d better get back to the hospital. It’s going to be a very busy day today."
Shubie: "Okay see ya later, Jennifer!"
Jennifer-Millie: "Bye Shubie. Oh and one more thing..." Jennifer-Millie walks back over to Shubie and kicks her in the back.
Shubie: "MY BACK! Wait a minute, it’s cured! My back feels so much better!"
Jennifer-Millie: "Yeah, I noticed that you were having back problems when you walked over here."
Shubie: "Thanks Jennifer! How did you know how to do that?"
Jennifer-Millie: "I learned it in med school. NKU is really ahead of the curb when it comes to those types of things. Well I’d better get back to the hospital! These chemicals aren’t going to go away on their own." Jennifer-Millie jumps into an ambulance and it drives away. All of the other ambulances drive away as well.
Shubie: "Finally everything’s going back to normal." Shubie walks towards the mall. Nazz-Mimi walks out of the mall pushing a shopping cart while also pulling her baby in a baby stroller behind her. Nazz walks over to her car, opens the trunk and begins to put her shopping bags in it. The baby stroller starts to roll away as she puts her bags in the trunk. Nazz looks over and sees the baby stroller rolling down the parking lot and towards the road.
Nazz: "MY BABY! Somebody do something!" Shubie sprints after the baby stroller. Mabel and Lenny pull into the parking lot.
Lenny: "Mabel, look out!" Mabel and Lenny scream as the baby stroller rolls towards them. Mabel swerves her car away from the baby carriage. Their car is now driving straight towards Shubie. Lenny and Mabel scream again. Shubie jumps off of the hood of their car, does a flip over them in midair and lands back on her feet. Shubie sprints after the baby stroller and grabs it just before it rolls into the very busy road. Nazz runs over to Shubie and hugs her.
Nazz: "You saved my baby! Oh thank Neptune! You truly don’t know how greatful I am, Shubie. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I lost her." Nazz pushes the baby stroller away. A man walks up to Shubie.
Obstacle Course Manger: "Wow that was really heroic of you to save that baby’s life. What’s your name?"
Shubie: "Shubie Peterson."
Obstacle Course Manager: "Hello Shubie, I’m the manager of the obstacle course the mall’s going to build over the pool. We could really use someone like you to be the fish who rescues kids that get into life threatening danger while trying to make it through the obstacle course. How’d you like the job? It’d be a great way to earn some easy money." Shubie sighs.
