**Microbial Beginnings** is the first episode of Angiosperm.

## Transcript

* (The episode starts with a meteor falling towards a planet.)
* Narrator: Our one source of life...
* (The meteor breaks upon hitting the atmosphere.)
* Narrator: ...has arrived.
* (Meteor pieces drop into the sea.)
* Narrator: But is this what nature hath intended?
* (The camera follows one speck as it falls in the sea.)
* Narrator: We shall see...
* (The particle cracks and Angiosperm swims out.)
* Angiosperm: Blub blub blub (moans) look, you see these little pathetic fangs coming out of me? Those are my jaws, yes, I can talk, don't view me as a freak show exhibit, okay, muchachos?
* (Meco splashes by Angiosperm.)
* Meco: Hello, greeny phantom!
* Angiosperm: Ugh, thanks a lot, you got primal slime all over me!
* Meco: Well technically we're all swimming a big primal blob of soup, so...
* Angiosperm: HEY LOOK ANOTHER METEOR!
* Meco: Where?
* (Another meteorite hits the water, than fractures, revealing Tim.)
* Tim: Yo wussup fellow fricks.
* Angiosperm: ...is "frick" even a word? Whatever, let's just find some food; if we don't, we're all dead.
* Meco: Wait, if I don't eat I'll die?
* Angiosperm: After a while, yeah. Let's try and find some food; are you an herby or a carny?
* Meco: The hell's an herby? And you mean the Halfling type of carny, right?
* Tim: (Sigh) I think he means to ask you "Are an herbivore or a carnivore?".
* Meco: Strictly herbivore, if you can't tell by my little filter mouth thingy.
* Angiosperm: Alright, Veggietale, let's get you some plant matter to feed on.
* (Cut to them reaching a gathering of small green plant matter.)
* Angiosperm: Eat up.
* Meco: Hail nah I ain't eating that that friggin' algae lookin' crap.
* Angiosperm: "Friggin" ain't a word, either, I hope you understand that.
* Meco: Whatever, I'm not eating it, I don't eat bacteria for a living.
* Angiosperm: Did you just hear a word I told you earlier? If you don't eat, you're gonna die-
* Tim: Wait, we're cells, right?
* Meco: Yeah, Timmy Turner, why?
* Tim: Than how is there plants here? They're made of tissue, and tissue is made of cells, so-
* Angiosperm: (Sigh) Artistic licenses, Tim, artistic licenses.
* Meco: What were we doing again?
* Angiosperm: Eat the damn plants.
* Meco: Ugh, fine. (Meco eats the plant dots) Hey, this is actually... pretty good!
* Angiosperm: You see? Don't judge a book by it's cover, whateveryourname is!
* Meco: Meco.
* Angiosperm: Mecca?
* Meco: No.
* Angiosperm: Mickey?
* Meco: NO.
* Angiosperm: ...Morocco?
* Meco: IT'S MECO!
* Angiosperm: I know, I'm just messin' with ya.
* Tim: I'm Tim, by the way.
* Angiosperm: I think we already know that by now.
* Tim: Wha? (Flashback to Meco saying, "Yeah, Timmy Turner, why?".) Oh...
* Angiosperm: It's Angiosperm.
* Meco: (Meco chuckles a little.)
* Angiosperm: Huh?
* Meco: (Meco breaks down laughing.)
* Angiosperm: WHAT'S SO FUNNY?
* Meco: AngioSPERM!
* Angiosperm: Yeah yeah, I get it, but Angiosperm is an actual scientific term for flowering plants-
* Meco: Wait, you're an herbivore, than? Or a plant person?
* Angiosperm: No, BIOMECHA, I'm a carnivore.
* Tim: I'm both!
* Angiosperm: We didn't ask you to tell us how much more privileged you are than us, Timmy Neutron.
* Tim: Oh.
* Angiosperm: I'll try and find some meat, Meco and you stay here, I guess.
* Meco: Farewell, semen Aang!
* Angiosperm: (Grumbles) It's Angiosperm.
* Meco: Him too.
* (Angiosperm finds a gathering of lumps of flesh.)
* Angiosperm: Mmm, the bloodstained skin and organs of cells past; my favorite!
* (Angiosperm munches on the meat wedges. A scream is heard.)
* Angiosperm: Either someone's shouting or I'm just hearing sh\*t.
* Shad: WHOA!
* Angiosperm: Oh hey, Crash Bandicook.
* Goldy: RAAAA!
* Angiosperm: Stand back, you piss colored predator!
* (Angiosperm bites Goldy.)
* Goldy: HISSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
* (Goldy gets scared, and swims away.)
* Angiosperm: All in a days work of saving the innocent.
* (Poker is murdered by Cruncher.)
* Angiosperm: Dammit.
* (Angiosperm swims over to Poker's death place.)
* Angiosperm: Wait, is that a spike?
* (Angiosperm grabs the spike in his jaw.)
* Angiosperm: IT IS! I FOUND A SPIKE! I FOUND A-
* (Angiosperm is mauled away by a Cruncher.)
* Angiosperm: Crap.
* (Cut back to Meco and Tim eating a few plants.)
* Meco: Jesus, Angiosperm has been gone for a while.
* Tim: Don't say his name in vain!
* Meco: Wait, you're creationist?
* Tim: Yeah of course I am, doggo.
* Meco: Dude, the comet brought you here only one hundred thousand years ago!
* Tim: Jesus sent it.
* Meco: Hey, that's actually a really reasonable philosophy.
* Tim: Yeah. (Tim eats another bit of algae and moans.)
* Meco: What's wrong?
* (Tim expands to 1½ his size.)
* Tim: Ugh, growth spurt.
* Meco: Hey, consider yourself lucky. I haven't even hit mine yet.
* (Meco eats two more plant chunks and bloats to 1½ of his size as well.)
* Meco: Never mind that.
* (Angiosperm swims in screaming.)
* Angiosperm: Guys, guys!
* Meco: What, Ang?
* Angiosperm: There's a predator attacking us!
* (Cruncher swims in.)
* Angiosperm: OH SH\*T, IT'S THE PREDATOR!
* (Cruncher tries eating Meco, but merely pokes him.)
* Meco: Dude, he's harmless.
* Angiosperm: YOU'RE FIFTY F\*\*KING MILLIMETERS! I'M STILL A DWARF!
* Meco: Alright, alright, but you have a spike, so...
* Angiosperm: BIG MOUTH THERE HAS A... BIG MOUTH! WHAT DO I HAVE OVER HIM?
* Tim: Fine. (Tim pushes a piece of rubble in front of them.) You will not kill the little one.
* (Cruncher bites Tim's eye.)
* Tim: HOLY CRAP, NOT THE EYE! KILL HIM!
* (Angiosperm swims in an impales Cruncher through the back.)
* Cruncher: (Barks multiple times) Goddammit.
* (Cruncher explodes into a mess of pink/purple blood.)
* Angiosperm: Yay! I slayed the beast.
* (Angiosperm feeds on the flesh hunks left of Cruncher.)
* Angiosperm: I'm not feeling so good.
* Meco: GET DOWN, I THINK HE'S GOING TO EXPLODE.
* (Angiosperm swells up to 1½, as well.)
* Angiosperm: Guess I'm on my growth spurt as well.
* (All three of them laugh.)
* Tim: Could be worse; you could have gotten on your period.
* Angiosperm: Yeah no guys don't have those.
* (A blue glow is seen.)
* Meco: Wait, who is that?
* Unknown Cell: Welcome to the second age of our time, young cells.
* (Fade to black.)
