(The episode starts by taking place at Debbie's house, then it zooms into Maraya's window. Maraya is looking out the window as she sighs)
Maraya (sighs): Aaah, I love looking out the window.
(While she was looking out the window, Debbie walks by and tells her that she needs to get ready for school)
Debbie: Maraya, get ready. You have to go to school.
Maraya: But, grandma, it's Saturday. Why do you want me to go to school on a Saturday?
Debbie: Because the administrator that works there has something for you to do.
Maraya: Like what? Work?
Debbie: No, something better than work, Maraya. Come on, get ready.
Maraya: Okay, grandma. I'm on it!
(The scene changes to where Maraya is at her school with the administrator)
Allyson: Oh, hi Maraya. I'm glad you're here on time. I have to show you something at the table. Come with me.
(Allyson grabs Maraya's hand and shows her something that is at the table. When they get to the table, Maraya sees that her surprise is shocking)
Allyson: Look what I got for you.
Maraya (not seen): Wow, I wasn't expecting for my surprise to be shocking.
Allyson: It's food, Maraya, that I got from the cafeteria. Now, sit down and eat your lunch.
(Maraya walks over to the table and sits down in a chair. When she looks down at her food, she said that it looked yucky to her)
Maraya: But, Allyson. My lunch looks yucky to me, and not totally good.
Allyson: Maraya, this lunch was for you to eat. Now eat it!
Maraya: But, Allyson -
Allyson (mad): Maraya, eat it now, or else!
(Suddenly, she hears a beep on the loudspeaker)
Announcer (not seen): Allyson, you have a meeting at the conference room. Please come immediately.
Allyson: Okay, I will. (she turns to Maraya) Maraya, I have to go to a conference meeting. So, please eat your lunch. Cause if all that food isn't gone by the time I get back, then you're going to be in big trouble. Okay?
Maraya (worried): Okay.
Allyson (not seen): Thank you, Maraya. Now I'm going to go to my conference meeting. I'll be back.
(Allyson leaves the room and shuts the door. Then Maraya's computer flies to the other side of her as she asks it)
Maraya (worried): Computer, what am I going to do? I am forced to eat a lunch I never ate before. So now what am I going to do? I need help and I don't know where to get some.
(The computer thinks about it and then gets an idea)
Maraya (not seen): Huh? You think I should get Ruff?
(The computer nods itself as Maraya hops out of her chair)
Maraya: Computer, that's a great idea! Let's get Ruff for help! Quick, go to Ruff's program so I can make him come to life.
(The computer nods as it presses the button that causes it to turn on, swipes itself upwards, and goes to the browser which is where Ruff's program is. Then Maraya grabs it and puts it on a flat surface and looks at the camera)
Maraya: Quick, I need your help. To make Ruff come to life, we need to say the magic spell. Say the magic spell with me.
(She starts to look down at her computer and says the magic spell)
Maraya: Computer, computer,
Let me see Ruff 
Let me see Ruff 
So life won't be tough!
(After she says the magic spell, she hops back to her chair as quickly as possible before Ruff saw her stand up. While Maraya was waiting, some magic dust comes out and then Ruff comes out and lands on the floor. He walks over to Maraya who is sitting in her chair)
Ruff: Hi, Maraya! What can I help you with today?
Maraya: Ruff, thank you for coming to life, because I have an extremely big problem!
Ruff: Oh no! What's wrong?
Maraya: Well, let me tell you. My problem is that Allyson, the administrator, has forced me to eat a yucky, yucky lunch on a Saturday.
Ruff: So you're talking about eating a yucky lunch, eh? Well, it doesn't look yucky to me. 
Maraya (confused): Huh?
Ruff: To me, it looks healthy, and yummy.
Maraya (confused): Huh? How do you know, Ruff?
Ruff: Because I've eaten all these things before, Maraya, and they taste awfully good in my opinion.
Maraya: Well, they don't in my opinion. To me, they look yucky, and if I ate one of these, they might taste gross.
Ruff: Oh, don't say that, Maraya. You haven't even tried all these things before, so I'm going to help you.
Maraya: How, Ruff?
Ruff: I'm going to show you how good these things are if you actually put it in your mouth.
Maraya: How?
Ruff: By feeding you.
Maraya: Feeding me?!
Ruff: Yes, by feeding you. So are you ready?
Maraya (worried): I guess.
Ruff: Okay, now where's a chair for me to sit on?
(The computer flies and stops at Ruff with a chair in its hands)
Ruff: Oh, thank you, computer! (he sits down on the chair) Okay, Maraya. Are you ready?
Maraya (worried): I guess.
Ruff: Okay, here we go. Now, what should we start with first?
(Maraya shrugs because she didn't know)
Ruff: I know. Let's start with the vegetables first because they make your muscles strong.
Maraya (worried): Okay.
Ruff: Okay, here we go. Open wide.
(Maraya opens her mouth so wide that Ruff puts a piece of broccoli in her mouth. However, it results of spitting it out in the trash can)
Ruff: So, you didn't like the broccoli, eh? Well, maybe you'll like the carrots more. So, open wide.
(Maraya opens her mouth wide so Ruff can put a piece of carrot in it. However, it ended up in the same result)
Ruff: Aw, you didn't like the carrots either. Well, drink some juice.
(He holds the carton of juice slightly upward so Maraya can drink some out of it. Then, he puts it down)
Ruff: Now let's see if you'll like the second piece. Open wide.
(She opens her mouth wide again so Ruff can put another piece of carrot in her mouth. It ends up in the same result again as she spits it out in the trash can)
Ruff: Maraya, you have to eat your vegetables because they're good for you.
Maraya: But, Ruff. I don't like vegetables.
Ruff: So you don't like vegetables, huh? Well, that's okay. You still have your piece of meat and ooh! You remember having your banana, don't you?
Maraya: But, Ruff. It isn't ripe yet.
Ruff: Oh, yeah. (he puts the unripe banana away) No wonder why your school sells unripe bananas. So now, you only have your meat left to eat.
Maraya (sad): Aw…
Ruff: Don't be sad, Maraya. I'll cut up your meat for you.
(He gets out a plastic knife and uses it to cut a little up of Maraya's meat)
Ruff: Okay, Maraya. Here's your first piece. I hope you like it, so open up!
(Maraya opens her mouth wide so Ruff can put a piece of meat in her mouth. The results end up being good because Maraya liked it)
Maraya: Mmmm…
Ruff (surprised): You like it, Maraya?
Maraya: Yeah! The meat tastes good!
Ruff: Yay! Here's another piece!
(Maraya opens her mouth wide again so Ruff can put another piece in her mouth)
Ruff: Wow, that stuff's good, isn't it? You ready for another piece, Maraya?
(Maraya doesn't answer Ruff's question. Instead, she makes whining sounds because she has stomach pain so bad that she has to go)
Ruff (gasps): Uh oh! What's wrong, Maraya?
Maraya: I - I have to go to the bathroom because I'm in very big pain!
(She tries to run to the bathroom as quickly as possible before she gets an accident)
Ruff: Uh oh! I hope you're okay, Maraya.
(He gets up from his chair and follows Maraya to the bathroom. The setting changes from Allyson's office to one of the bathrooms. Ruff asks Maraya if she's okay when they were both in the bathroom)
Ruff: Maraya, are you okay?
(Maraya tries to push the poop out but however results slowly)
Maraya (not seen): No, Ruff. I'm not, because I have some stomach pain.
Ruff: Oh no! I hope you don't have stomach gas too.
(Maraya gets up and flushes the toilet, then comes out of the stall)
Maraya: Sorry, Ruff. Vegetables gives me stomach pain and gas.
Ruff: Oh no! Then we need to take you home, but first, we need to go back to Allyson's office.
(The scene changes to where Maraya and Ruff are at Allyson's office, putting everything up)
Ruff: We're going to put everything you've eaten in the refrigerator, except the banana because it will rot easily if I put it in there too. Now, let's go!
(The scene changes to where they are at Debbie's house again in Maraya's bedroom. Maraya is sitting on her bed while he is talking to Allyson on his phone)
Ruff: Hello? Oh, it's you, Allyson. How are you doing today?
Allyson (over phone): I am very shocked, Ruff.
Ruff: Huh? Why, Allyson?
Allyson: Well, Maraya didn't finish her lunch and I don't know why. Ruff, do you know why?
Ruff: Well, it was because Maraya got some stomach pain and gas while eating one of the foods you got her, and right now, Maraya is sitting on her bed, resting and stuff. Don't worry, she'll feel better in a few days so she come back and finish her lunch.
Allyson (over phone): That's great, Ruff. I'll see you later, okay?
Ruff (not seen): Okay.
Maraya: Ruff, I gotta go! I gotta go!
Ruff: Oh, Maraya has to go to the bathroom. I'll see you later, okay? Bye, Allyson!
(He hangs up from his phone as he waits outside the bathroom door. Maraya is sitting on the toilet, waiting for some poop to come out. Ruff, who is outside the bathroom, asks Maraya if she's okay)
Ruff: Maraya, are you okay?
Maraya: No…
Ruff: Well, what are you waiting for? We still have to undress you and everything!
Maraya (not seen): Wait a minute. I think it's coming out. (then she feels some poop coming out) Aaah…
(She gets up and flushes the toilet. Then she comes out of the bathroom)
Ruff: Good, you're out. Now let's undress you.
(He starts to undress Maraya, then he gets a pair of Maraya's pajamas out)
Ruff: Okay, now let's put on your pajamas.
(He dresses Maraya with her pajamas and then when he was done, he tells her to lay down on her bed)
Ruff: Okay, Maraya. You're good. Now lay down on your bed until Debbie calls you for dinner.
Maraya: Okay.
(She starts to lay down on her bed while she was waiting for dinner to come. Some music also played in the background while she was waiting. The scene changes to where Maraya was laying on her bed, resting her eyes. Then Debbie calls Maraya for dinner, so she wakes up and hears her voice)
Debbie (not seen): Maraya, dinner! Come down, please!
(After Maraya heard her voice, she gets up from her bed and comes down. The scene changes again to where Maraya was at the dinner table, not eating her dinner and stirring it around instead)
Debbie: What's wrong, Maraya? It's chicken and dumplings, your favorite dinner.
(Maraya turns her head around and doesn't answer Debbie)
Debbie: Oh, I know what's wrong with you. You must've had a rough time at school.
(Unfortunately, Maraya nods sadly at her)
Debbie (not seen): Well, I'm sorry to hear that, Maraya, but however, we all had rough days before. You're not the only one.
Steve: Debbie, I think Maraya must be sick or something.
Debbie (shocked): Oh, isn't she? Come on, Maraya. We need to check your temperature.
(The scene changes to where Debbie is checking her temperature. When she takes it out of Maraya's mouth, it read that Maraya had a fever)
Debbie: Oh, Maraya. Steve's right. You are sick.
(Maraya gets even sadder because she now caught herself a fever. Debbie grabs her hand and takes her to the dinner table)
Debbie: Oh, don't be sad, Maraya. Maybe some of that broth that I made can help you a little.
Maraya: Okay.
(The scene changes again to where Maraya is at the table, now only eating the broth from her dinner. She gets done with her first bowl and Debbie asks her if she wanted more)
Debbie: Oh, that was quick. You want more, Maraya?
Maraya: Yeah.
Debbie (not seen): Okay.
(She hands her bowl over to Debbie as she gets more for Maraya. Then she hands it back to her)
Debbie (not seen): Here you go.
(After Debbie hands the bowl back to her, she starts to eat again. The scene changes to where Maraya comes to her bedroom and Ruff is waiting for her)
Ruff: Hi, Maraya. Did you enjoy your dinner?
Maraya: It was okay, but while I was eating it, I caught myself a fever!
Ruff (gasps): Uh oh! It seems like you're getting worse, Maraya. (a bubble pops up) First, stomach pain, then stomach gas, and now a fever?! Maraya, your symptoms need to stop and go away. But how?
Debbie (not seen): Maraya, come down! I got some medicine for you to take!
Ruff: Oh. That's how, silly me! (laughing) Come on, Maraya.
(He grabs her hand and takes her downstairs as quickly as possible so Debbie can get Maraya to take some medicine)
Debbie: Oh, there you are, Maraya. And Ruff, thank goodness you're here with her! Do you know how Maraya got all these symptoms?
Ruff: Yes, I do!
Debbie: Okay, then tell me how.
Ruff: Okay. (clears throat) This is how Maraya got all these symptoms. It started when Allyson, the administrator, got Maraya a lunch that she disliked so much that she needed help! So she got me by saying the magic spell to make me come to life. Then after I came to life, she told me all about her lunch being yucky, so I had to feed her lunch to her. But while I was feeding her the meat, she started getting terrible stomach pain. So she tried going to the bathroom, and when she sat on the toilet, she started getting stomach gas.
Debbie: Well, Maraya didn't tell me that. That was why she didn't want to eat her dinner.
Ruff: Yes, and now Maraya has started getting a fever too.
Debbie: Yes, I know that now, so that was why I called Maraya down here.
(Maraya looks at Debbie sadly)
Debbie: Don't worry, Maraya. This medicine will be able to help you. Now open your mouth.
(Maraya opens up her mouth so Debbie can put a spoonful of medicine in her mouth)
Debbie (not seen): Good job, Maraya. Now here comes another spoonful.
(Maraya does the same as she did in the first one. Then Debbie puts it in her mouth)
Debbie (not seen): Very good, Maraya. Now let's hope that the medicine will help you, okay? Now, go to bed.
(Maraya walks upstairs to her bedroom so she can go to bed. The scene changes to where Maraya is in the bed, trying to sleep. Suddenly, a picture of a toilet pops up along with an exclamation mark. It makes her get out of bed to run to the bathroom as quickly as possible before getting an accident. Then Maraya tries to get some of the poop out by pushing it)
Maraya (relaxed): Aaah…
(Then after she got some of the poop out, she feels like that she was going to vomit too)
Maraya: Oh no! I'm going to throw up! Let me get a trash can.
(She stands up quickly and pulls up her undies and pants. Then, she starts to vomit. Suddenly, while she was vomiting, Ruff wakes up and opens the bathroom door)
Ruff: Maraya, what are you doing up?
Maraya: Ruff, I'm throwing up!
(As he looks into Maraya's trash can, he sees that Maraya vomited in it)
Ruff: Oh, no! Now you're throwing up too? Maraya, your symptoms need to stop! They can be contagious!
Maraya: Contagious? What's contagious?
Ruff: It means that other people can catch it, too.
Maraya: Oh no! I don't want to make other people sick!
Ruff: Me either, Maraya, but unfortunately, your symptoms might make other people have it too.
Maraya (sad): Aw…
Ruff: Don't be sad, Maraya. We'll take your medicine in the morning, okay?
Maraya (sad): Okay.
(The scene changes to where Maraya is sleeping in her bed. Debbie calls her name, which causes her to wake up)
Debbie (not seen): Maraya, wake up! It's time to take your medicine!
Maraya: Okay…(yawns)
(The scene changes to where Maraya is coming downstairs for her medicine)
Debbie: Oh, there you are, Maraya. It's time for you to take your medicine, okay?
Maraya: Okay…
Debbie: Open up!
(Maraya opens up her mouth like some was told to. Then Debbie puts that spoonful in her mouth)
Debbie (not seen): Good, Maraya! Now here comes another one!
(Maraya does the same thing again as Debbie puts another spoonful in her mouth)
Debbie (not seen): Very good, Maraya. Now, do you want to make you some broth?
Maraya: Yeah!
Debbie (not seen): Okay!
(The scene changes again to where Maraya is at the table, waiting for her broth to be ready. Debbie walks over to Maraya with her broth)
Debbie: Okay, Maraya. The broth is hot. So you have to wait for it to cool. Or, you can stir it around to make it cool faster, okay?
Maraya: Okay.
(Debbie walks away so Maraya can eat alone. She grabs one spoonful of it and blows on it. Then she eats that one and does the same thing to the next spoonful. She repeats the process until she was all done. The scene changes again to where Maraya was done)
Maraya: Okay, I'm done. (yawns) And now I'm sleepy. Let's go to sleep.
(She goes upstairs to her bedroom so she can sleep. Again, the scene changes to where Maraya gets to her bedroom)
Maraya (yawns): I'm so sleepy…
(She gets in her bed and starts to sleep. The scene changes to where Maraya is still sleeping and Debbie calls her name for dinner)
Debbie (not seen): Maraya! Dinnertime!
(She stretches herself and gets out of bed)
Maraya: Okay…
(The scene changes again to where Maraya is walking downstairs to the dinner table. On the dinner table, she sees a bowl of spaghetti that was at her spot)
Maraya: Oh! Spaghetti! One of my favorites!
(She sits down at the table and ties her bib around her neck)
Debbie: Maraya, will you say the blessing for us?
Maraya: Okay.
(She bows her head and closes her eyes so she can say the blessing for her family) 
Maraya (softly): God is good, God is great! Let us thank for our food, amen!
Debbie: Thank you, Maraya. Now let's eat.
Maraya (not seen): Okay.
(Then Maraya begins eating her dinner. The scene changes to where she was done and is taking her medicine)
Debbie: Okay, Maraya. You ready to take your medicine?
Maraya: Yeah.
Debbie (not seen): Okay, here we go. Open up!
(Maraya opens her mouth up wide so Debbie can put a spoonful of medicine in her mouth)
Debbie (not seen): Good! Now here comes another one!
(Maraya opens her mouth wide again as Debbie does the same thing)
Debbie (not seen): Very good, Maraya. Now let's take you to the bathroom so we can take your temperature.
(The scene changes again to where they are taking Maraya's temperature)
Debbie: Okay, Maraya. Let's take your temperature next. Open up!
(Maraya opens up her mouth so Debbie can check her temperature)
Debbie (not seen): Good. Now keep that in your mouth until it beeps.
(Maraya did like she was told. The thermometer beeps as Debbie gets the thermometer out of her mouth. When she read it, it said that her temperature was 99°)
Debbie: Oh. Your fever's going down. It says that it is 99°.
Maraya: Really? Yay! I can't wait for it to go away!
Debbie: Well, it may or it may not. But, don't worry. We'll find out when you wake up tomorrow.
Maraya: Okay.
(The setting changes to outside of Debbie's house. Then it takes place in Maraya's bedroom, where Maraya is sleeping. Maraya suddenly wakes up and calls on Ruff)
Maraya: Ruff!
Ruff: Yes, Maraya?
Maraya: Can you check my temperature?
Ruff: Sure. Just let me get my thermometer.
(While Ruff was looking for his thermometer, Maraya was waiting. Then he finds it and puts it in Maraya's mouth)
Ruff: Here's my thermometer. Now open your mouth so I can take your temperature.
(Maraya opens her mouth so Ruff can check Maraya's temperature)
Ruff: Okay. Now keep it in your mouth until you can hear a sound.
(Maraya kept it in her mouth until the thermometer beeped. Then Ruff read her temperature out to her)
Ruff: Your temperature says that it is 98.6°.
(Maraya gets surprised when Ruff read out her temperature)
Ruff: That means you're better! Yay!
Maraya: Yay!
Ruff: Great! Now that you're all better, I can call Allyson.
(He gets out his phone and dials her phone number. Then the setting changes to Allyson's office)
Allyson: I wonder who that could be. (she picks up the phone) Hello?
Ruff: Hello, Allyson. This is Ruff. Great news, Maraya's all better! So can you please warm up Maraya's lunch while you're waiting?
Allyson: Yes, I can.
Ruff: Thanks, Allyson! We'll be there in a few minutes. Bye!
(He hangs up from his phone as he tells Maraya something)
Ruff: Come on, Maraya. You need to get ready.
Maraya: Why?
Ruff: Because, you're all better, and you need to finish your lunch at school.
Maraya: Okay.
(The scene changes to where Maraya and Ruff are in Allyson's office at school. When they get in her office, Allyson greets them)
Allyson: Maraya, Ruff. I'm glad you're back. Please, take a seat, and oh! I already warmed up your lunch for you, Maraya. So eat up!
Announcer (not seen): Allyson, you have another conference meeting. Please come to the conference room immediately!
Allyson (frustrated): Really? But I just had a meeting on Saturday. Why another one?
Announcer (not seen): Allyson…
Allyson: Oh, okay, okay. I'm coming. And please, Maraya, eat all your lunch.
Maraya: I will, Allyson, you'll see. There won't be a single piece of food on my tray at all.
Allyson (not seen): Thanks, Maraya!
(As Allyson left her office, she closes her door and Ruff starts telling her something)
Ruff: Maraya, you need to finish your lunch before Allyson gets back.
Maraya (sad): Aw…
Ruff: Don't worry, I'll help you.
Maraya (smiling): Thanks, Ruff.
Ruff: You're welcome, Maraya. Now sit down. I got to tie this bib around your neck.
(She sits down on her chair as Ruff ties her bib around her neck and sits back down on his chair)
Ruff: Okay, Maraya. What do you want to start with first?
Maraya: I don't know. What do you think?
Ruff: I think we should start with the vegetables first because they have a lot of minerals in order to make you strong.
Maraya: Okay.
Ruff: You ready, Maraya?
Maraya (worried): I guess so.
Ruff: Okay, here we go. Open wide.
(Maraya opens her mouth wide so Ruff can put a piece of broccoli in it. However, Maraya gags so much that she needs to spit it out)
Ruff: What's wrong? You don't like it?
(Maraya shakes her head hard at Ruff and points to the trash can beside Allyson's desk)
Ruff (not seen): No, Maraya. You can't spit it out. But I know something else you can do. 
Maraya (not seen): Hm?!
Ruff: Drink some juice, Maraya. It'll probably help get rid of that thing you just chewed.
(He held the carton of juice slightly upward so Maraya can drink some out of it. Then, after Maraya drank some of it, she felt relieved)
Maraya (relieved): Aaah…that was just unexpected.
Ruff: Great job, Maraya. Now you only have two more pieces and then you're done.
Maraya: Well, let's get it over and done with so we can move onto the next thing.
Ruff: Okay! Here's a carrot. Open up!
(Maraya opens up her mouth again so he can put a piece of carrot in her mouth. It ended up in the same result, but Maraya knew what to do by grabbing her carton of juice)
Ruff: Wow, great job, Maraya. You just grabbed your carton of juice by yourself! Now only one more piece and then you're done. (he grabs the last piece of broccoli with the fork) Here we go! Open up, because this is the last piece.
(Maraya opens up her mouth wide so he can put the last piece of broccoli in her mouth. She gags on it again as she grabs her carton of juice)
Ruff: Great job, Maraya! You ate all your vegetables. 
Maraya: Look! Not only I ate all my vegetables, but I drank all my juice too.
Ruff: Wow! Magnificent, Maraya! Now we have the meat to eat and then you're done, okay?
Maraya: Okay.
Ruff: Now let me cut up your meat for you and then we'll feed it to you.
(While Ruff was cutting up Maraya's meat, she turns around and thinks about it for a second. Then Ruff calls Maraya's name)
Ruff (not seen): Maraya! I have your meat cut up for you.
(As Maraya turns around, she sees her meat already cut up by Ruff)
Maraya: Oh. Okay. I'm ready!
Ruff: Alrighty! Here we go! Open up!
(She opens her mouth so wide that Ruff puts a piece of meat in her mouth)
Maraya (happy): Mmmm! It's good!
Ruff (laughing): I'm glad you like it, Maraya. Now here comes another piece!
(Maraya does the same thing to the next piece of meat as he puts it in her mouth. They they do it again and again until Maraya was done with it. Then the scene changes to where she was actually done)
Maraya: Yay! I'm done! I'm done! I'm done with my lunch! Yay!
Ruff: Uh…not quite, Maraya.
Maraya: Huh? But Ruff, I ate every single thing on this tray.
Ruff: Well, I got one more thing for you to eat, Maraya, and I've been saving it for last because I know how much you like this food.
Maraya (excited): Really?! What is it?
Ruff (not seen): Close your eyes and don't peek.
Maraya: Okay, my eyes are closed. 
Ruff (not seen): Okay, here I go! (he is seen again as he gets out a banana that is ripe) Ta-da!
(After Maraya heard what Ruff said, she opens her eyes and gets surprised)
Maraya (gasps): Could it be? What is it, Ruff?!
Ruff (laughing): You know what it is, Maraya. It's a banana. A banana that is ripe.
Maraya: Wow! It's amazing! And it's just the way I like it!
Ruff (laughing): Thank you, Maraya. Now, how about if you can go ahead and eat it now?
Maraya: Okay! But one problem: we don't have honey. And you know that I can't eat it without honey.
Ruff: Maraya, I think the banana will be sweet enough for you to not have honey.
Maraya: Oh. Okay.
Ruff: Now, let me feed you the banana.
Maraya: Okay. Go ahead and open it so you can feed it to me.
Ruff: Alright. I will.
(He looks at the banana and starts to peel it until the whole thing was peeled)
Ruff: Okay, I did it, Maraya. Now are you ready to eat it?
Maraya (excited): Yes, I am!
Ruff: Okay, here we go. Take a bite.
(Maraya starts taking her first bite of the banana. She chews the bite well after she's bitten into it. Then Ruff asks her if it's good)
Ruff: Is it good, Maraya?
Maraya: Mm-hmm!
Ruff: Well, I'm glad you like it. Ready for another bite?
(Maraya nods her head happily at Ruff as she smiles)
Ruff: Then help yourself.
(Maraya starts to take another bite of the banana as she chews it well. After she chewed the bite, Ruff asks her and then takes a bite of it himself)
Ruff: It's good, isn't it, Maraya? (starts taking a bite of the banana himself) Mmmm!
Maraya (angry): Hey! Ruff, Allyson got that banana for me, not you!
Ruff: I'm sorry, Maraya, but I couldn't resist because every time you eat one of these, it makes me want one too.
Maraya (chuckles): You're right, Ruff. Everyone loves bananas, especially me!
Ruff (laughing): Yeah. I am right, ain't I? (becomes shocked) Oh! It might be time for me to peel this back again. Just a quick second, Maraya.
(He turns around to the other side so he can peel the banana some more. Then he turns back around to Maraya)
Ruff: Okay, Maraya. Go ahead. You know what to do.
(Maraya takes another bite of the banana and Ruff peels it back a little more. Then she takes another bite of it and Ruff does the same thing to the banana. Then he removed the last piece of it out of the peel and gives it to Maraya)
Ruff: Okay, Maraya. The last bite's yours. Go ahead and eat it while I put this peel in the trash.
(While Maraya put the last piece of banana in her mouth, Ruff walks away to throw the peel in the trash can. Then he comes back to Maraya in a proud feeling)
Ruff: Great job, Maraya! You ate all your food. I'm so proud of you.
Allyson (not seen): Maraya, Ruff. I'm back!
Ruff: Allyson, look! Maraya ate all her food!
Allyson (not seen): Wow! You're right. Maraya did eat all her food, did she?
Ruff: Yep. And I helped her.
Allyson: Well, I'm proud of you, Ruff, and Maraya, I'm especially proud of you for eating all your food.
Maraya: Thanks, Allyson!
Allyson: No problem. (she then turns to Ruff too) Maraya, Ruff. You may go home.
Ruff: Thank you, Allyson. Come on, Maraya. Let's go home.
Maraya: Okay!
(The scene changes to where Maraya and Ruff are finally back at Debbie's house again)
Ruff: Aaah…I'm glad we're back home, aren't you, Maraya?
Maraya: Yeah.
Ruff: Well, now that we're home, I got to go.
Maraya: What? Why, Ruff? Why?
Ruff: Because, I worked hard to help you for a couple of days, and now I have to go.
Maraya: Aw…well bye, Ruff. I'll see you soon.
Ruff: I'll see you soon too, Maraya. You know I'll come back.
Maraya: Okay. Goodbye, Ruff! Thank you for helping and encouraging me today!
Ruff: You're welcome, Maraya. Now, bye bye!
(As Ruff disappears into the computer, Maraya says goodbye to him one final time)
Maraya: Bye bye, Ruff! See you another time!
(After Ruff disappeared into the computer, Maraya sits on her bed, relaxing. Then she talks about how great it was for her to have someone to help her get a better autistic life)
Maraya (looking at camera): Aaah…isn't it nice for me to have someone who can help me? I think it is because he helps me with anything. From trying new foods to using the bathroom and to doing my share, he helps me have a better autistic life, no matter what. And no matter what, I will always have a better, autistic life. (laughing)
(Then the scene zooms out of Debbie's house and it fades out, causing the whole episode to come to an end)
