## Dialogue

#### Opening Scene

> [Lily emerges from her house.]**Lily**Good morning, world in which I'm saving a national park with Evilyn freakin' Frost!!
> And get to work with old and new friends every day! Does it GET any better??
> Now Luke just needs to sort out his creative crisis, and all will be well!
> I'll go check on him...
> Right after I've closed down my honey sale.

#### Bye Bye, Honey

> **Lily**Guess it was too romantic, selling honey right in front of my house...
> Expecting people to be honest and careful with other people's stuff...
> \*sigh\* The world's not ready for Lilyland.
> There. Officially closed for business. Maybe once the thief's been caught, I can reopen.
> Unless it was a bear...
> Ugh. Better get my juicy gardener's butt out of here before he comes back.
> Gotta check on my struggling artist anyway. Hope he's had his eureka moment...[Lily arrives at Luke's house.]**Lily**Good morning, my love! I hope inspiration has hit? The muse has kissed?**Luke**Nah. Not hittin', no kissin'.**Lily**Aww. Well, I CAN help with the latter...**Luke**Hmm...?**Lily**What, no kiss?? Talk to me, Sweetie. What's going on?

#### Kiss of the Muse

> **Lily**Honey, I can see you're struggling. Tell me what's wrong.**Luke**Ugh. Tough couple of days.**Lily**I get that. And I'm wondering if it's just the pressure to create those sculptures...
> ...or if there's something else bugging you?**Luke**Maybe, I dunno.
> Think I might need some time to mull it over...**Lily**Sure. I'll give you some space. I'm off to the woods anyway.
> Before I skedaddle...and since the muse is playing coy...[Lily kisses Luke.]**Luke**Hmm. Prefer you to the muse any day, Love.**Lily**Haha. You better! Come along, Rox. See ya later, art creator!**Luke**Yeah, art creator...Gonna get right down to it. No distractions![Rachel arrives with Karen.]**Rachel**Luke! Good thing you're here!
> I need you to take Karen.**Luke**Karen?? Why's she runnin' off? And why's she not in school?

#### What happened, Rach?

> **Luke**What happened? School burn down?**Rachel**Hah. I wish it was only that...They SUSPENDED her! Your daughter got in a fight.**Luke**Really?! Why?? And...who won?**Rachel**LUKE! Focus! I have to be in the office in 15 minutes. Can you take her?**Luke**Uhm. That's pretty short notice...and I...I gotta figure somethin' out here myself...**Rachel**Are you okay? You seem...stressed?**Luke**Yeah...just frustrated. Been stuck with my art for days.
> And kinda startin' to worry it'll affect me an' Lily...**Rachel**Be careful there, Luke. Lily's the best thing that's happened to you since...
> Well, since me and Karen, I'd say.**Luke**Hah. You're right about that!**Rachel**I've got to run. Good luck with the art.
> And don't let Karen play around your death metal scraps!

#### Pixtagram Bootcamp

> [Lily's phone vibrates.]**Lily**Huh. A text from Dirk?
> "Hi, superstar! I'll be by in the pm. Get ready for Pixtagram bootcamp!"
> Ooooh! Did you hear that? I'm gonna be social media whiz!**Dog**Borfborf!**Lily**Sure you can be in the pic!
> Evilyn said cute animals are a plus. And you're downright cutelicious!**Dog**Bawoooo!**Lily**What, right now? Okay, some limelight for the Roxter!

> **Lily**Say doggie treat!**Dog**Ruff.**Lily**Awww. Look at us being all awesome and adorable!
> "Heading to work with my furry friend!" Aaand posted.
> Like a pro! Dirk won't have anything left to teach me, haha![Lily approaches Regina and Justin.]**Lily**Hello, favorite neighbors! What's new in the woods? And...where's Rach?**Regina**She's working on the sketches for the Visitor Center today.**Lily**The VC, how exciting! So--we get to take a break? Cup of coffee and some R&R?**Justin**You don't strike me as the type to put her feet up...when there's a shed to be demolished!**Lily**You're right. That DOES sound like more fun!

#### Sweet Demolition

> [Lily, Regina, and Justin walk over to the shed.]**Lily**Anybody need to let off some steam?**Regina**Surprisingly, no! But I'll enjoy the process nonetheless.

*One torn down shed later...*

> **Lily**Gently wrecked. Nice job, Regina![Lily hears a whoosh sound.]**Regina**Ahem. Are you STILL getting reactions to that selfie??**Lily**Um... This might actually be about the one I posted this morning.
> Awwww! Listen to this: "Cutest smushy face!" - "Who's a good co-worker?" - "#womansbestfriend"**Dog**Borrf!**Lily**Yes! They love you, girl!**Regina**Now you're posting pictures of your dog? What's next - your morning latte?**Lily**No. But maybe a selfie with my grumpy construction engineer? That'd blow UP!**Regina**How about we clean up this mess before we blow up something else?

#### A Flexible Base

> **Regina**Looks like a bomb exploded here...

*One thorough cleaning job later...*

> **Lily**Sparkling! Now, what are we gonna do with this prime real estate?**Justin**I was thinking a guest house might be nice.**Regina**Say no more! Let's start with a solid AND flexible base!

*Player selects an option*

> **Justin**A wheelie base, nice one! And a good start for a bear-proof cabin!**Lily**Bear..proof...?**Justin**Yeah...There've been quite a few sightings of distressed bears in the area.**Lily**Distressed? Maybe they're hungry? Maybe it WAS a bear that stole my honey??**Justin**I'm not sure about that. I noticed strange behaviors in other animals as well.
> And there've been fewer birds than usual. Not sure what caused that either.**Lily**We need to get the VC done! Then we're in a better position to help the poor animals!**Justin**Definitely. If you'll excuse me now, I need to do my rounds.**Lily**Sure. We'll get your guesthouse all set with walls and a roof!

#### Ready to Shingle

> **Regina**Ready to raise the roof?**Lily**Haha! Listen: "Lily! Your dog looks just like my Uncle Hermann!"**Regina**Less scrolling, more roofing!**Lily**Sorry, I'll stop now. I'm ready to shingle!**Regina**Now that's what I call solid handiwork!
> Ranger Justin's guests will be cozy, safe and dry!
> What do you think, Lils? Best roof I ever made?
> Lily? Are you even listening?**Lily**Huh? Sorry, I was just...checking...the comments...

#### The Great Walls

> **Lily**Haha! Someone asked if Roxy is paid a full salary!**Regina**She should be. She's been more help today than you, screen queen.**Lily**Ugh, sorry. I really got sucked in there.
> I'm done now. Walls?

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**The Great Wall of China has nothing on these solid little guys!
> No Lily pun to trump this?**Lily**Man, the things people want to know...
> "Do you have a boyfriend?" - "Who does your hair?" - "Who are you wearing?"
> I feel like I'm on some red carpet or something.**Regina**Why do they care?? Don't they have lives?**Lily**They're just...interested. And maybe it's a little silly, but I'll answer them quickly.**Regina**Seriously, Lils? Are we building this together or what?**Lily**Ughh. Sorry!! I'll put the phone away now. Promise!**Regina**Good! Cause we're to put in some windows!

#### Windows or Screens?

> **Regina**Add windows and a door, and Justin's guests will never wanna leave again!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Tinytastic! Absolutely Pixtagram-ready!**Regina**All right. Since pixastuff is all you can talk about today, tell me...
> What's the social media guru supposed to teach you when they get here?
> Seems to me you already know what you're doing?**Lily**Nah. I'm just playing it by ear. I hope Dirk can give me some actual guidelines.**Regina**Dirk?? As in The Sidewinder Snake?**Lily**I know, I know. He's not your favorite. But Evilyn trusts him. And I trust her.
> Soo...can you please be on board with this? Or at least...not chase him off?**Regina**\*sigh\* Okay. I'll stay out of his way if he stays out of mine.**Lily**Thank you. Now, I feel like getting some decorations going!
> And I might just've had a brilliant idea for the guesthouse!

#### Fellow Woodworker

> **Lily**I was thinking...what if we turned this into a temporary workshop?
> Maybe Justin would spend more time on his sculptures if he had a space to do it?**Regina**Oooh! I LOVE me a nice workshop! Let's get his sculptures over here!

*A few moments later...*

> **Regina**These are so CUTE! Makes me wanna jump right in and create...wooden things!**Lily**Let's hope Justin feels the same.
> What do you think about him, by the way?**Regina**The hunky ranger? Better ask Rachel...She seemed ready to move into the woods for him.
> But seriously: He seems to have a good head on his very broad shoulders.
> Sensible, sensitive and, hey, he's a fellow woodworker. I'm all for him.**Lily**Yeah. I feel he's a great addition to our little team!
> Even if he doesn't REALLY fly like an eagle...

#### A Personal Touch

> **Lily**Add a personal touch, and my work here's done!

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**Touching, Lils. I'm sure Evilyn will adore those decorations.**Lily**Ooh, I hope so! Wouldn't wanna disappoint her.**Regina**Please. She's all over you. I don't think you can do much wrong.**Lily**Uh. I hope you're right. I'm still in awe she actually wants to work with US!!**Regina**Yeah. It's surreal. She's such an icon. But she's actually quite down to earth.
> What I don't get is: Why does someone I adore so much work with Dirk Sides?**Lily**Regina. You promised to behave when he gets here!
> I know he's a little...shady. But if he helped Evilyn, I'm sure he can do wonders for me.[Lily hears a whoosh sound.]**Regina**I'll be nice to Dirk if you don't touch that phone...[Lily hears a rustle, crack, crash, bang, and snap.]**Regina**What was that?**Lily**I dunno. Seems to be coming from those bush--
> Aaaargh![Dirk stumbles as he approaches Lily and Regina.]

#### Regina vs. Dirk

> **Regina**Thought you'd come slithering, not crashing, Sidewinder.**Lily**Are you okay, Dirk?**Dirk**Ugh! Darn twigs and leaves and branches...**Regina**It's called a forest, ground dweller.**Dirk**Ugh. Forest. She couldn't find a luxury spa or five star restaurant to save.
> Had to be a bunch of spikey shrubs and smelly critters.**Lily**Uhm...?**Dirk**Ahem. Nevermind. Lily! Delighted to see you! And congrats on your Pixtagram fame!**Regina**Tsk. I don't see the point of this whole hype.**Dirk**And who are you?**Lily**You've met Regina, my construction engineer? She is HAPPY to see you.**Dirk**Sure. Anyway, I was saying, I'll give you a crash course on all things social media--**Regina**If you're staying I've got the perfect job for you. We've got a dump to clean up.

#### Clean-up Crew

> **Regina**This mess isn't very Justin-like. He seems so mindful and orderly.**Lily**Guess most of us have some junk hidden in our backyards...**Regina**As long as it's ACTUAL trash, it's nothing six busy hands couldn't solve.

*Some four-handed clean-up action later*

> **Regina**No help from the snake? Why am I not surprised...**Dirk**These hands serve a higher purpose than digging through literal trash.**Dirk**Now, Lily, good to follow your progress. I've turned you into quite the celebrity.
> Big enough for Evilyn Frost to recognize your X-factor and hire you!
> And now I get the beautiful task of molding you into a real influencer!**Lily**Thanks, Dirk! I'm so excited to learn...everything!**Regina**Learn while you get your hands dirty! We've got a planting space and a fence to build!!

#### Fence it out

> **Lily**So, Dirk, what social media wisdom can you share with me?**Regina**Lils...while you guys chat about the perfect duckface selfie hashtag...
> ...can you chip in on some fencing action?

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Boom! Fencing with one hand, pixtagramming with the other! Total pro!**Dirk**Not bad, Lily! But you'll need to focus and use your brains to stay ahead of the game.**Lily**What do you mean?**Dirk**What you have done so far is sweet and endearing...
> But if you want to be in it for the long run, you'll need to have a plan.**Lily**Uhm...okay. Any advice?**Dirk**Of course. That's why I'm here. And I have one word for you: YAM!**Lily**Yams? I LOVE yams!!**Dirk**No. Y-A-M: Yourself, your Audience, your Message. Those are the three things you need to know.**Regina**What I need to know is: Who's gonna help me set up the compost?

#### Prepare the floor

> **Regina**I'm sure Justin would love to be self-sustaining. Let's give him some planting boxes!
> Right here looks good...once we've prepared the floor! Lily?**Lily**On it!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**This floor is ready for some raised beds! What do you think, Dirk?**Dirk**I think this Justin guy should shop in a supermarket like a normal person.**Regina**Course you do. Only thing you've grown in your life is your bank account.**Dirk**And quite successfully. Nothing wrong with that.**Regina**Right. YOU wouldn't understand--**Lily**Regina! What did we agree on?
> So, Dirk, how do I proper influencing?**Dirk**It's all learning by doing, Lily. And I'll give you just the assignment to get going.**Regina**Only thing we'll get going right now is those planting boxes.

#### Something rotten...

> **Regina**A compost should be right up Justin's alley. Let's get our hands dirty!**Dirk**First trash, now rotting stuff - I'll be over there if you need me for cleaner things...

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**Compostastic! Right, Lils?**Lily**Yeah, sure... But getting back to the yams...**Dirk**Y-A-M. Yourself, know your Audience, know your Message!
> These three elements will help you come across as consistent, authentic, and relatable.
> And that's the foundation for any successful influencer, whether you sell handguns or detox teas.**Lily**O...okay. So...
> I know myself...I guess?**Dirk**We all think that. But you'll really need to get to know yourself. This is only the beginning.**Regina**And here I was hoping this was the end...

#### Raise the Beds

> **Regina**A couple raised beds here, and everything can grow nice and orderly.

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**We've made our beds, now let's lie in them. Or plant something...**Lily**One task down, one to go...
> Dirk, what were you saying about an assignment?**Dirk**Yes, right. Post something real about yourself. Show me that you know your true essence.
> Show the world who you REALLY are. What do you love? What makes you Lily?**Regina**Are you setting her up to be bullied and shamed on the internet??**Dirk**On the contrary. Being candid will make her likeable. It creates clicks, hits, likes.**Regina**I'll click and hit you if this backfires, snake!**Lily**Regina! Dirk is an expert on social media. He knows exactly what he's doing.**Regina**That's what I'm afraid of.[Justin approaches the group.]**Justin**Hey! Sorry I was gone for so long. I was called into town to remove a venomous snake.**Regina**Could have used your help with that out here as well...**Dirk**How amusing...**Justin**Hi there. We haven't met. I'm Justin Lockhart, ranger here at Hermit's Creek.**Regina**Don't bother, Justin. Your attention is better spent on this walkway.

#### Walk this way

> **Justin**I'll leave this walkway in your experienced hands, Regina.

*Player selects an option*

> **Dirk**I guess it's less of a mess than before...
> Anywho...I'm off. See you tomorrow, Lily!
> And remember your assignment! A candid and personal post! Toodles![Dirk exits]**Regina**I don't get what Evilyn sees in the guy. He is so full of himself.**Lily**But his advice makes a lot of sense. It'll help me succeed.**Regina**What exactly? His recipe for yams?**Lily**Hahaha! YAM!! That WAS very funny!**Regina**Know what? I HATE yams!! Hahahaa!**Lily**And you only tell me now?? I need a picture to commemorate this moment!

> **Regina**Can I see--[Lily's phone vibrates]**Lily**Huh. Unknown number. Excuse me a sec. I gotta take this.**Regina**Well. While she's busy, wanna finish up with some trees and bushes?

#### Take Charge!

> **Evilyn**Lily, this is Evilyn...**Lily**Oh! Hi! Hey, Evilyn! Hello! Hi...**Evilyn**Just checking in quickly: How did it go with Dirk?**Lily**It went great. Guess I'm just nervous about being an actual influencer...**Evilyn**Don't be nervous, Lily. Own it! And listen to Dirk.
> Take his advice very seriously. He's the best in the business for a reason.
> And whatever he throws at you, go with it. He knows what he's doing.**Lily**Right! I will! I promise. I won't let you down!**Evilyn**You couldn't if you tried, Lily! I've got to run now! Talk soon!**Lily**Whoa. She's right. I'm gonna do Dirk's assignment RIGHT NOW!**Lily**So, what's my essence...? The picture of Regina and me is as Lily as it gets.
> Sooo... "Fun times with my bff" ...And a hashtag... "#goofygals"...
> Aaand posted.

#### Some Planting Action

> **Regina**I was thinking a couple trees and bushes to round this off?**Justin**I'm prone to anything green. So by all means, lead the way!

*Player selects an option*

> **Justin**Construction, design, gardening...you're a pro of all trades!**Regina**Haha. Lily and I learned a lot renovating her great-aunt's gardens.**Justin**You two are really close.**Regina**Yeah. Very. She helped me through some tough times. And vice versa.**Justin**You have each other's backs, that's wonderful.**Regina**We do. That's why I'm so wary around Dirk. I don't trust him one bit.
> You know, Lily always believes in the good in people. And I LOVE that about her. But...**Justin**But you can see beyond a friendly smile. And you're protective of your friend.**Regina**I am! Protective and...I'm scared of losing her to that darn phone!**Justin**I'm sure Lily values your friendship just as much as you do. Trust in your bond.**Regina**I do. Doesn't mean I'll take my eyes off that snake, though.**Lily**Looking good, guys!**Regina**Thanks, Lils. I think we're done for the day.**Lily**Great! I gotta check up on Luke anyway. Hope he got out of his head today...**Regina**I'm off, too. Thanks for...the talk, Justin!**Justin**Thank YOU for all the help around here! See you both tomorrow!

#### Sweet Company

> [Regina heads home and Lily arrives at Luke's house.]**Lily**Karen, hi! I didn't know you'd be here!**Karen**Lily! Dad and I built a Robot! her name is TYRONIZE!!**Lily**Whoa! I see! And...Luke! You look so happy! Did you have a good day?**Luke**Well... Rachel dropped Karen off this mornin'. Somethin' about trouble in school...
> And we've just...been killin' time...**Lily**With some creative work, that's great.**Luke**Not any REAL work. Gotta get back to that tomorrow...
> Not sure how and what--**Lily**Forget about work for a moment. You got two ladies here hungry for your famous pizza!**Dog**BORF!!**Lily**Okay, three! And at least one who's hungry for your sweet company...**Luke**Well, wouldn't wanna disappoint my favorite gals...
> Come on, Munchkin. Let's get crackin' on that dough.
> And a servin' of sweet company's comin' up as well!

#### Start New Day

> **Lily**Snnoore...huwha?

> **Lily**Hello? Rachel? Is everything okay?**Rachel**Hey, Lily! I'm sorry, did I wake you? I know it's late, I'm just so excited!**Lily**It's okay! What's going on?**Rachel**I finished the sketches for the Visitor center! I think it's going to knock Evilyn's socks off.**Lily**That's great! I can't...\*yawn\*...I can't wait to see them!**Rachel**I'll bring them by tomorrow! I know Evilyn's really counting on us, so there's no time to waste.**Lily**You got that right. Thanks so much for the quick work, Rachel! I'll see you tomorrow.**Rachel**Goodnight!
