## Plot Summery

*"The first planet the duo land on is a planet filled with spiders who practice magic. There they meet a girl named Arak-Nia, who is looking for something to do with her life. She and Furmah form a friendship, but before they can leave Nia needs to complete a special trial...that turns out quite anticlimactically."*

## *​​​​​​*Episode Script

*The episode begins with a shot of our heroes ship flying through space. Inside of it, Furmah is on the couch fiddling with her robotic parts while Nomen drives the ship. It's been two days since they set off, and they've come close to a planet Nomen was interested in. Nothing had really happened in those two days, so Furmah was pretty excited to get off of the ship and go explore.*

**Furmah:** How much longer now, Nom?
**Nomen:**About five minutes.
**Furmah:**Thank god. As cool as inside here is I cannot wait to get some fresh air.

*Furmah looks out the window at the planet. It was pretty small and was very purple with some blue clouds surrounding it. The thing that caught her eye, however, was a gigantic...thing...orbiting the planet. She had heard about these things, they were called Zampas. They ate the moons of planets and basically replaced it, snacking of meteors that flew by it. It looked really cool seeing it in person.*

**Furmah:** Dude, do you see that? It's a Zampa!
**Nomen:** Woah, that thing is freaky as hell.
**Furmah:**A weird part of me wants to pet it.
**Nomen:**Why would you...actually, I kinda want to as well.

*Nomen steers the ship towards the planet.*

**Nomen:** Ok, so apparently this planet is called "Zog". It's home to a bunch of spider people. It sounds weird so I figured you'd love it.
**Furmah:**Well, you're not wrong.

*As the ship lands on the rocky surface of the planet, the first thing the duo noticed was...well, the fact that they can't see anything at all. Across the planet was a very thick fog that made it hard to see in. Nomen sighed.*

**Nomen:** Welp, this is already a no from me. C'mon, Fur, there's a planet close by thats 99% water...Fur? Where did you...?

*Nomen had noticed that Furmah had left the ship. She was outside looking around. Well, looking as hard as she could considering it was hard to see. Nomen decided she wouldn't come back in without exploring for a bit and jumps out to join her. Soon, the two are walking through the planet, discussing about where they should head out to eat at after this.*

**Furmah:** I say we just hit up a bar, snack on some chicken wings, then get wasted. I'd say that would be a pretty good time after being stuck in a ship for two days.
**Nomen:**Eh, I don't know...remember what happened last time we got drunk?
**Furmah:**No, not really.
**Nomen:**You don't? We ended up in some random Beorns house while eating piz-
**Furmah:**Hey, whats that?

*The two stop in their tracks, noticing a bright light a few feet away. Nomen was hesitent to move further, but Furmah didn't at all as she walked closer to inspect the light. To her surprise, it was a purple person with four arms, chanting something Furmah couldn't understand.*

**???:** Hcnhstasgolai hm t so cgpi, wt eeeyh oetn...
**Furmah:**Uh...hello?
**???:** He tksrl omuekstcfotihm habniunttag...hmm?

*The lady stopped chanting and turned to face Furmah, who got a good look at her. She had two eyes, each eye with three pupels in it, along with a black dress, a red necklace, and a very long ponytail. Furmah was silent for a moment. She was pretty. Really, really pretty. The prettiest thing she's seen so-*

**???:** Oh, you're a Beorn, right?

*Furmah snapped back into reality and remembered that she was having a conversation. Whoops.*

**Furmah:** Right, sorry. My name is Furmah. I was just wondering what that light was.
**???:**Oh, that was just a simple spell, thats all. My name is Arak-Nia.
**Furmah:**Nice to...uh...meet you.
**Arak-Nia:**What are you doing so far from your home?

*Furmah explained to Arak-Nia that she and her friend were traveling the universe, trying to find a new place to live. At this point Nomen caught up and was introduced to Arak-Nia.*

**Arak-Nia:** Unsatasfied with your home?
**Nomen:**Yep, pretty much. It was nice talkin', but we gotta get a move on. C'mon Fur-
**Arak-Nia:** Can I come with?
**Nomen:**What? Sorry, but we just met you. Why would you wanna come with anyways?

*Arak-Nia sighed.*

**Arak-Nia:** I...I don't really know what to do with my life. Soon I'll be taking a trial, and afterwords I'll be forced to leave the planet.
**Nomen:**Why?
**Arak-Nia:** Thats how it works for everyone. Anyways, I have no idea what I should do after I leave the planet. Maybe traveling with you can help me figure out what I want to do. I promise, I won't stay long.
**Nomen:**...I still don't know. Hey, Furmah, what do you think?

*Furmah took another look at Arak-Nia. God, she was pretty. Plus, if she needed help, Furmah figured the right thing to do was to help her. Making up her mind, she turns to Nomen.*

**Furmah:** I say sure, she can hang with us for a bit. No harm in helping someone out!
**Nomen:**Alright, the lady has spoken. You can roll with us for a bit.

*Arak-Nia formed a very warm smile on her face, one that pretty much nearly melted Furmah's heart. Was...was she in love or something? She never really felt this way, not even to Nomen. And she dated the guy for a short time! She brushed these feelings aside. It's probably smart to make sure she isn't falling in love because of looks alone.*

**Arak-Nia:** Thank you so much! Do you want anything in return?
**Nomen:**Uh...I don't know, a chocolate bar? I don't really need anything right now, honestly.
**Furmah:** Oh, uh...same.
**Arak-Nia:**Well, I'll find some way to repay you. Until then, follow me. My trial is in a few hours. Afterwords, we can head off!

*Arak-Nia begins to slowley walk into the fog, glowing brighter and ushering the two to follow her. The three walk through the fog for a few minutes before coming across a village. It was small, but the buildings were huge, about 5 stories tall, with the doors at the very top. Other spider-people, called Arakas, climbed up the houses to the doors. They also noticed a large group of people gathering around a ring. Arak-Nia walked up to it.*

**Arak-Nia:** Ctcp da, gim ahexgeiey srseinaem nm? (Excuse me, is this where the trial is?)
**Arakas Person:** Ws! Aneo sc aprumr Nia gisoeoiyofnlosnr! (Ah! Come right this way, Ms Nia!)

*Nia turned to Furmah and Nomen.*

**Arak-Nia:** I'm going in. Wish me luck, guys!
**Nomen:**I'll be rootin' for ya, I guess.
**Furmah:** Good luck! Kick that guys ass!

*Nia walked into the ring, ready to face her trial. It was by combat: the first person to fall over loses. She was up against a big guy, who looked ripped. A little nervious, Nia braced herself as a bell is rung. The warrior charges forward screaming for battle...only to trip over and fall flat on his face. Everyone stood in silence for a few seconds before someone calls out:*

**Arakas Person:** Int csyt ir elagee, oar ohw tbvn, rgnona! (It seems that, due to a embarissing accident, Nia wins!)

*Despite it being the most anticlimactic thing ever, the crowd cheered nontheless. So did Furmah, though Nomen was too busy laughing his ass off.*

**30 Minutes Later**

*Furmah and Nomen are guided back to the ship by Arak-Nia, using her light magic. Nomen wastes no time getting back into the ship, while Furman and Arak-Nia stand outside of it for a sec.*

**Arak-Nia:** I'm sorry if that was anticlimactic.
**Furmah:**Eh, it's fine. It was really funny. I'm just glad you get to come with us!
**Arak-Nia:**Why?

*Furmah racked her brain for a cool answer.*

**Furmah:**Because...because spiders are badass.

*Nailed it.*

**Arak-Nia:** Cool! By the way, I think I should repay you now.
**Furmah:**Hey, there's no need to-

*Furmah was interrupted by Nia placing her lips on Furmahs own. It wasn't really a kiss, it felt more like a...well, she didn't know how to describe it. Hell, she was too stunned to really think of anything.*

**Arak-Nia:** I believe your people call that a "kiss". On this planet a similar thing is done to express gratitude. I figured you'd like it!
**Furmah:**...

*Arak-Nia hopped onto the ship, looking around in wonder. It looked pretty cool to her, defiantly better then the house she lives in. She walks up to the pilots room, where Nomen is preparing to start up the engine. Noticing Arak-Nia, he pats the co-pilot seat,*

**Nomen:**You can sit here if you want.
**Arak-Nia:** Oh, thank you! *\*Sits in seat\**
**Nomen:**Question: that thing you did with Furmah...are you sure it was just a thank you?
**Arak-Nia:**Uhh...well...between you and me, there is another reason I wanted to come with you guys...

*Nomen grinned. Furmah wanted to have a cute girlfriend. This was the chance.*

**Nomen:**Say no more. Your secret is safe with me, ma'am.
**Arak-Nia:** \*Smiles\* Again, thank you.
**Nomen:**No problem. Now, lets-
**Arak-Nia:** Wait, Furmah isn't on the ship yet.
**Nomen:** Hmm?

*Both look out the window to see Furmah still standing there, awe-struck. This was the moment she realized she had found the one she wanted to be with. For the first time in a looooong time, Furmah was in love.*

**Nomen:**HEY! FURMAH! GET ON THE SHIP!
**Furmah:**Wuh...oh ship! I mean shit! Sorry, I-I'm coming!

*Furmah scurried onto the ship as Arak-Nia giggled and Nomen shook his head in amusement. With a press of a button, the ship set off. And so, the duo becomes a trio as the three set off through space to find a new home.*

**End of Episode 2**
