## Dialogue

#### Opening Scene

> [In front of the house]**Lily**Okay...up and at 'em!
> Three days and one more part of the estate left.
> I'm ready for action.**Roxy**Boof![Roxy runs towards Lily]**Lily**You too, huh, Roxy?
> Well, first we gotta see Luke off for his job interview..
> And I gotta call this Samir guy too.
> Or Mom'll never shut up about it...

#### Godspeed, Luke!

> [In Luke's yard]**Lily**Hey you. Heading out?**Luke**Oh, hey! Yeah. Off to Nevada.
> What if they really want me for the job?**Lily**Well, that'd be great, wouldn't it?**Luke**Yeah...I'm just stressin' out, I guess.**Lily**Don't worry so much. Just go knock 'em dead, killer.**Luke**Haha, we'll see.
> Anyway. See you in a few days.[Luke walks away]**Lily**Hey Luke?**Luke**Yeah?**Lily**I'm proud of you.**Luke**...Thanks. That means a lot to me.**Lily**Just go get that job for me, okay?**Luke**I'm goin'! I'm goin'![Luke leaves]**Lily**C'mon Roxy let's go.

#### Hi, Mr. Amari...

> [In front of the house]**Lily**All right...moment of truth.
> Let's see what this guy can tell me about Aunt Mary.[Lily calls Samir]**Lily**...**Samir**Samir Amari.**Lily**Uh, hi there. I'm Lily Roberts, calling about Mary LaRosa's estate?**Samir**Mary...? Oh! Right! Sorry, I've always known her as Diana. Diana Xander. Are you her heir?**Lily**That's me.**Samir**Well, we have a lot to talk about. Diana--sorry, Mary--appointed me as executor of her estate.**Lily**But...she already has an executor.**Samir**Yeah, that part's a bit confusing. She was maintaining two identities...three, if you count Barry Means.
> So Mr. ...Jones, was it? He and I have been trying to figure out how to handle that, legally.
> But I think talking about all this in person would be best. Do you have any availability this week?**Lily**Sorry, but...this week is crazy busy.**Samir**Ah, okay. I've just had a potential buyer contacting me about her land. A big house and estate in the California mountains. Are you familiar with it?**Lily**Ha, yeah, you could say that.**Samir**Ah, okay. I wasn't sure. Yeah, apparently she bought it in the 90s. My dad was her agent at the time, actually.**Lily**Oh, that's nice! Runs in the family, huh?
> Wait...you said she bought it in the 90s? That can't be right.**Samir**I mean, that's what it says on all the paperwork. Got the deed and land record right here.**Lily**There must be some kind of mistake. Do you think you could just send me the paperwork?**Samir**Sure, but it'll have to be hard copies. Text me your address and I'll overnight them to you.**Lily**Thank you so much! I will.**Samir**No problem. And just let me know as soon as you have time to meet. Like I said...lots to talk about.**Lily**Of course. Thanks again, Samir.**Samir**My pleasure.
> \*click\*[The call ends]**Lily**What the heck is going on...?**Roxy**Orf?

Transition Dialogue

> [In the vegetable garden]**Lily**Okay. Can't worry about any of that now.
> Three days left, including today.
> Just have to figure out how to get to this last part of the estate...
> C'mon, Roxy. A-hunting we will go.[Lily notices Holly sitting on the bench in front of the greenhouse]**Lily**Oh, hey mom. You're up early.**Holly**It's never too early to relax, sweetie. Where are you off to?**Lily**Trying to find the last part of the estate. I thought it was around here somewhere.**Holly**I think I saw a path down by the quarry when you and the grease monkey were working there.**Lily**Thanks.[Lily walks away]**Lily**Hey Mom?**Holly**Yeah?**Lily**Be nicer to him or else.**Holly**Ooohhh. Noted.[Lily walks away and go to the quarry]

#### Mission Pathfinder

> [In the quarry]**Lily**A path down by the quarry...
> Oh, there it is.**Roxy**Bowoof!**Lily**This really must be the most remote part of the property.**Roxy**Boof!!**Lily**Hm? Oh!
> A fairy ring! They say if you walk through one of those, you'll get trapped in the land of the fairies!
> Good lookin' out, Roxy. But I think I'll be ok.
> I don't think I've ever been here, but it feels...really familiar.
> Hm, what's in there...?
> Oh, right, the land record had that little building on it. Wonder what it is.
> Gonna have to clear all this brush to get in there and find out.

#### Brush It Up

> [In the workshop garden]**Lily**Guess you can't help with any of this stuff, huh?**Roxy**Borf.**Lily**Once again, I am let down by my comrades...**Roxy**Boworf!!!**Lily**I'm sure I'll forgive you, in time.

*Some fiddling later*

> **Lily**What's this...?
> "Lily's Garden"...
> Did they...name this place after me...?
> I don't remember this at all...

#### Trim And Fit

> [In the workshop garden]**Lily**These trees are out of control.
>
> Could probably get rid of them altogether...[Lily starts trimming]**Lily**Wait...
> This is a living fence!
> Clever, Aunt Mary. I'll be gentle with them.

*A little bit later*

> **Lily**You're all looking quite trim now.
> But you'll need to be tied together again to look REALLY pretty.
> ...
> I'm talking to trees again.

#### Tie 'Em Up

> [In the workshop garden]**Lily**Just gotta tie these together...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Ah, that's perfect.
> What a neat way to fence off this part of the property.
> "Lily's Garden"...
> I dunno. It's got a nice ring to it. Right, Roxy?**Roxy**BoWOOF!

#### A Grand Entrance

> [In the workshop garden]**Lily**I guess if this place is named after me, I can't let it look all run down...
> Let's get this entrance fixed up, Roxy.**Roxy**Boof.

*A little while later*

> **Lily**Man, why is this place so familiar if I don't actually remember it?
> It's like an itch at the back of my mind.
> What about you, doggo? Do you know why it's so familiar?**Roxy**Orf.**Lily**Well, you're no help.

#### A Good Sign

> [In the workshop garden]**Lily**Entrance is looking good...now I should get this sign back up.[Lily hangs up the sign]**Lily**"Lily's Garden"...
>
> I've...been thinking about this project all wrong.
> Trying to just maintain the status quo here...I don't think it's what Aunt Mary wanted.
> It's not just her garden. It's mine too.
> ...
> I love you, Aunt Mary. I'll make you proud. And I'll make it mine.

#### In The Weeds

> [In the workshop garden]**Lily**We gotta get this ground cleaned up.
> Well. I do, anyway. You're useless for this.[Lily starts raking]

*A lot of weeds later*

> [Roxy starts barking against some mices]**Roxy**Boworf...
> BORF!! BORF!!**Lily**What's up, pup? Something under there?
> Let's find out...[Lily walks towards Roxy and notices some mices on the table]**Lily**Oh!!
> Hello, little friends!**Roxy**BORF! BoWORF!**Lily**Oh, settle down, lady. They're just little field mice.
> CuuuUUUuute little field mice!

#### Walk This Way

> [In the workshop garden Roxy is chasing the mices]**Lily**Hey!! No chasing!! Meeces are people too!!**Roxy**Grrrr...**Lily**Sheesh, I get it. You hates those meeces to pieces.
> But I can at least fix up the walkway so they'll have one less place to hide.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Is this acceptable, Your Majesty?**Roxy**Boof.**Lily**Lovely.
> There. Are we feeling better now?**Roxy**Boworf!!!**Lily**Great. You better be nice to the next mice we see. I'm gonna need servants if it turns out I'm Cinderella.

Transition Dialogue

> [In the workshop garden Roxy runs towards a place]**Roxy***Orf!*
> *Orf-oorf-orf!*[Lily walks towards Roxy]**Lily**Now what's gotten into you? Did you find something?**Roxy**BORF!!**Lily**Okay, okay. I'll get my shears.

#### All The Trimmins

> [In the workshop garden]**Lily**Okay, let's see what you found...
> Trim trim, cut cut...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Oh!
> It's a little fairy house!
> Uncle Arthur must have made it.**Mices***Squeak!***Lily**Oh! So that's where you all went.**Roxy**Grrr...**Lily**No chasing!!**Roxy**Boof...[In the quarry Holly is sitting on the deck chair and calling out for Lily]**Holly**Liiilyyyyy!!
> Liiiiiiiilyyyyyyyyy!!!**Lily**COMING!
> Jeez!

#### What Now, Mom?

> [In the quarry]**Lily**What, Mom? I'm working. I only have a few days left.**Holly**Did you call that man yet? I'm itching to know about those accounts.**Lily**He's...gonna get back to me. Listen, I just found this part of the grounds I don't remember.
> It has this big sign saying "Lily's Garden". Do you know anything about it?[Holly stands up]**Holly**Lily's Garden...?
> So, what, your garden?**Lily**I mean, it certainly seems that way, but I didn't make the sign or anything.**Holly**Hrm. Why don't you show me?

#### Remember This Place?

> [In the workshop garden]**Lily**See?**Holly**Huh. No, I don't--
> No, wait, I remember now...
> Uncle Arthur used to call this his fairy garden.**Lily**Ohhh, that makes sense...he must have made that little fairy house I found.**Holly**I can't believe I had forgotten about this place.
> I used to play here when I was a kid. I had a doll named Babs...I'd pretend she was a giant around those little fairy houses.
> I can't remember what happened to her...**Lily**You're free to have a look around for her.**Holly**Maybe I will.

#### All The Trimmins

> [In the workshop garden]**Lily**May as well trim the trees and bushes here...

*Some trimmed bushes & trees later*

> **Holly**It's all starting to come back to me, now that the place looks a little less shabby.
> Arthur always had a thing for fairies. Well, not...always.
> Just after he took a golf ball to the head.**Lily**Wait, what?**Holly**Oh yeah. You didn't think it was strange that he got Alzheimer's in his 50s?**Lily**Huh...yeah, now that you mention it, he was so young when he died...
> He got hit by a golf ball?**Holly**Yup. It didn't CAUSE his Alzheimer's, but brain injury increases the risk...he just got unlucky.**Lily**That's so sad...**Holly**Yeah. Anyway, he started to forget stuff...see things...**Lily**...Like fairies.

#### Flower It Up

> [In the workshop garden]**Holly**So you're just gonna keep fixing up the place, huh?**Lily**Not much of a choice. Plus, I kinda like it, so...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Hey Mom? Did Uncle Arthur play a lot of golf or something?**Holly**He played every now and then. With Leonard.
> Funny thing is, Arthur didn't even like golf. He only played to make Leonard happy. Like a big brother.
> And Leonard aaaaalways won. But Arthur kept playing.
> Until he got hit by that golf ball, and Mary forbade him from playing anymore.
> I doubt she ever forgave Leonard.**Lily**He doesn't seem like a nice man anyway.**Holly**Nice is in the eye of the beholder, kiddo.
> Know what's nice? Having money. Think about it.

#### You Clean Up Nice

> [In the workshop garden]**Lily**I feel like I should fix up the fairy house in that old tree stump.
> Probably have everything I need here...just need to tidy up.[Lily tidies up the table]

*A little while later*

> **Lily**Much better.
> Any idea what the deal is with these pebbles, Mom?**Holly**Uncle Arthur used those in his miniatures. He told me they looked like something a fairy would like to collect.**Lily**He was probably right! They're so smooth and pretty.**Holly**They're just little rocks.**Lily**So are diamonds.**Holly**...
> Hm. Well, you've got me there.

#### Fairy Fixer Upper

> [In the workshop garden]**Lily**Wanna help me fix up that fairy house, Mom?**Holly**Ehhnn, I'm gonna go look for Babs.**Lily**Suit yourself.[Lily walks towards the tree stump]**Lily**Oh! Right! The mice...**Roxy**BORF!! BOWORF![Roxy barks and makes mices run away]**Lily**Hey!! What did I say about the mice?**Roxy**...Boof...**Lily**As long as they live here and not in the house, I'm fine with them being around.
> Now for the fairy house...

*One fairy house later*

> **Lily**Those meeces are gonna love this.
> If they COME BACK, anyway...PRINCESS BARKS-A-LOT.**Roxy**Borf...

#### Pave The (Fairy) Way

> [In the workshop garden]**Lily**Of course, now I gotta connect the fairy house to the walkway...
> Can't expect the fairies to just walk through the grass! That'd be like a jungle for them.
> Why, it'd be just plain rude...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Perfect. A little walkway just for the fairies.**Holly**Did you get hit in the head with a golf ball too?**Lily**Hmph. No.**Holly**Well, you're acting like a crazy person. A SPECIFIC crazy person, in fact.**Lily**Why are you being so mean about Uncle Arthur?
> And not just him. You're being mean about everyone!
> Aunt Mary and Uncle Arthur took care of you. Why do you hate them so much?**Holly**You don't get it. You were too young.**Lily**Then EXPLAIN IT to me, Mom!!**Holly**Not in the mood.**Lily**Ugh, you're so frustrating sometimes.

Transition Dialogue

> [In the workshop garden Lily throws a ball to Roxy]**Holly**Did you call about those accounts yet? You dodged my question last t--**Roxy**BORF! BORORORF!![Roxy runs barking towards the tree stump and Lily follows her]**Lily**Oh!
> The mice are back! I guess they like their extreme home makeover.**Holly**Mice?[Holly walks away]**Holly**MICE?!
> Nope! Nope! Nooope! Nope nope nope. NOPE![Holly leaves]**Lily**What a magical day in fairyland, eh, Roxy?
> I need to get that workshop fixed up tomorrow...let's give Regina a call.

#### What's Up Lady?

> [In the workshop garden Lily calls Regina]**Lily**...**Regina**Hey Lils.**Lily**Hey lady. How was your trip?**Regina**It was...oof.**Lily**That bad?**Regina**I'll tell you about it tomorrow.**Lily**Okay. You can help me fix up this crazy place I found.
> Anyway. Sleep well!**Regina**We'll see. Later, girly.
> \*click\*[The call ends]**Lily**Hmm...I hope she's okay...
> Anyway...time to read some more Nightingale.[Lily sits on a mushroom and reads a book]

#### Start New Day

> [In front of the house]**Lily**Goodnight flowers, goodnight bees, mice, raccoons, koi fish and you too, crazy squirrel!
> Goodnight almost restored La Rosa estate!
> I am ACTUALLY gonna make it. I might even finish the job BEFORE the 30 day mark! This calls for a...
> Woob-ba-dooo!
> WOOB-BA-DOOO!
> Aaand...time for bed.
