> \*sigh\* I guess I should preface this by saying that my marriage has been on the rocks for a while.**Lily**Wait, really? I'm so sorry!**Regina**Oh, just...let me keep going, lady. I have so much drama for you.
> My husband wants kids. I don't. It's a whole thing.
> I don't hate kids, I like kids, I just don't want any of my own. I don't want to be pregnant, I don't want to have a baby.
> But he's been wearing me down about it. And this trip was supposed be for us to...try.**Lily**And you...decided not to try?**Regina**Yeah. I decided it wasn't something I wanted. Just like I'd been saying all along.
> So that didn't go well.**Lily**Oh, Regina.

#### Choose Centerpiece

> [In the workshop garden]**Lily**So what happened? Did you and your husband have a fight?**Regina**We're past fights at this point, I think...
> I guess growing, I just never realized that it was a thing, you know? That it was okay to not want kids.
> I was taught I was supposed to want it...and I spent a long time convincing myself that I did.
> I'm talking so much. Sorry.**Lily**No way, no need to apologize. I'm your friend. I'm here for you.**Regina**Thanks, babe. Can we...plant something?**Lily**The centerpiece here needs replacing.**Regina**PLEASE put me to work.**Lily**Here, I'll let you pick the design.

I don't...really wanna talk about it.**Holly**Well, I was already eavesdropping, so you might as well!
> Since I already hear everything, let me give you some friendly advice, Regina.
> End it.**Regina**What??**Holly**Burying your own needs and desires and giving him what he wants and resenting him for it forever...
> ...Or giving him some temporary pain, and giving both of you permanent space to find what you want from someone else instead.
> What do you think is fairer, sweetie? And fairer to who?**Regina**...**Holly**My ex-husbands and I ended up wanting different things. There's no shame in that. For me, anyway.
> They wanted to be losers...and I didn't want them to be losers.
> Aaaanyway...you girls have fun. Lily seems to attract rodents wherever she goes.**Lily**Thanks a lot, Mom.[Holly leaves]**Regina**Yeah...thanks, Ms. Roberts.**Lily**Holly Roberts, ladies and gentlemen.**Regina**I mean...I don't actually think she's wrong here.**Lily**C'mon. We've got work to do. Only today and tomorrow left until judgement day.

#### Clear Ground

> [In the fairy garden]**Lily**Man, this place is ridiculously overgrown.**Regina**You sure there isn't something else you want me to do instead?**Lily**What, like...caprent something?**Regina**That's not how that word works!**Lily**Whatever!! Go carpent some weeds, nerd!!

*Some carpented weeds later*

> **Regina**Hey, there's stuff under here. More of those little houses.
> They're all pretty busted.**Lily**That simply will not do! Where will the fairies live?**Regina**Are fairies, like, your new thing?**Lily**They were Uncle Arthur's thing.**Regina**Well, who am I to judge, I guess...I read my horoscope every day...

#### Remove Fallen Tree

> [In the fairy garden]**Lily**Ready for some heavy lifting?**Regina**Physical or emotional?**Lily**Physical. But why don't you tell me about your childhood while we're doing it?**Regina**Very funny. Come on!

*Some heavy lifting later*

> **Lily**Heave-ho!
> My mom kept mentioning your dad the other day. What are your parents like?**Regina**So we ARE talking about our childhoods?**Lily**Oh, don't be a brat.**Regina**Dad was a drummer in a punk band in the 80s. That's actually how he met my mom.
> The other guys in the band saw her singing at the same venue one night and wanted to invite her into the band.
> Dad said no way, no girls in the band. They ignored him and she joined the band anyway.
> And within a month he had fallen in love with her.**Lily**That's SO CUTE.**Regina**I know! Anyway, the band broke up a long time ago, but he's a studio musician now, and mom gives vocal lessons.
> What about your dad? What's he like?**Lily**Oh...I don't actually know. Mom said he was a musician, though! So we have something in common.**Regina**You never met him?**Lily**Nah. Even if I managed to track him down, Mom would never have allowed it. She's...vocal about him being a loser.**Regina**Hmm. Well...c'mon! We gotta trim stuff! What are you waiting for? TWO DAYS, WOMAN!!**Lily**Aaahhh!! Okay okay!!

#### Clear Walkway

> [In the fairy garden]**Regina**Is everything here a weed? Is it safe to pull whatever up?**Lily**Yeah, it's fine.[Lily and Regina kneel to pull the weed on the walkway, when some mices run across the walkway and Lily stands up]**Lily**Oh! But be careful not to step on any mice![Regina stands up]**Regina**...Mice?**Lily**They live in the li'l fairy houses.**Regina**Well isn't that just the twee-est thing.[Lily and Regina kneel again to pull the weed]

*Lots of weeds later*

> **Regina**Do you think the mice have little British accents? Like in the movies?**Lily**I'm sure. And they go to the farmer's market on Sundays to buy carrots!**Regina**And they go to their neighbor's house to borrow a thimble full of flour!!**Lily**And there's a neighbor who's like a weasel or a fox who's kinda menacing in a way that COMPLETELY clashes with the tone of the movie!**Regina**Yeah!! Then the menacing neighbor EATS one of the mouse kids and it sends shockwaves through the close-knit community!**Lily**And one of the neighbors is a frog or something who's a former hitman for the bunny mob and he says he'll kill the fox for money!!**Regina**Right, and then the community has to decide: do they want justice for the grieving family, or do they want VENGEANCE?**Lily**...**Regina**...
> Okay, so that got pretty dark.

#### Choose Walkway

> [In the fairy garden]**Regina**Weeds are gone. No mouse casualties. I checked!**Lily**Thank you. Your dedication to their safety means the world to me.**Regina**I mean, I wasn't really looking WHILE I was walking around...I just checked afterward.**Lily**Hmph. Well, help me fix this walkway.

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**That good?**Lily**Yeah!
> \*buzz buzz\*
> Oh! It's Luke! Hang on.[Lily walks away and answers the phone]**Lily**...
> Hey!**Luke**Hey! Lily! They offered me the job!**Lily**Whaaat!! Luke, that's amazing!! Congratulations!!**Luke**Thanks! I just feel like the timin' still sucks, with Karen and Rachel...
> What do you think? Should I say yes?**Lily**OF COURSE you should say yes, dummy!
> Rachel will appreciate that you're working and making money, and Karen will think you're the coolest dad ever.**Luke**Yeah, but...what about you? I'll be gone for a while, you know?**Lily**I...
> We'll work it out. Okay?**Luke**Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna go tell 'em yes.**Lily**Gogogo!!**Luke**Bye!
> \*click\*[The call ends]**Lily**...

#### Clear Rockslide

> [In the fairy garden]**Regina**This is what I'm reduced to? Picking up rocks?
> I went to carpenter college for this?**Lily**You went to carpenter college??**Regina**What? No. There's no such thing as carpenter college.
> What did you think, I went to Harvard for Carpenters?
> That I got my Master's in Woodworking and my minor in Gender Studies?**Lily**Stop roasting me and pick up some dang rocks!!

*Some stone picking later*

> **Lily**Thanks for wasting your degree on this menial task.**Regina**Whatever. At least I already paid off my imaginary student loans.

#### Choose Area Plants

> [In the fairy garden]**Regina**What's left her, just shoring up the plants?**Lily**Yeah. Just follow my lead...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Perfect.**Regina**...**Lily**Whatcha thinkin' about, lady?**Regina**Oh. Just...stuff with my husband.
> Your mom actually made some sense to me.**Lily**Honestly shocking, but...good?**Regina**I think...I just needed someone to tell me that splitting up with him is okay.
> It's not like I WANT to hurt him...but I think it's inevitable, and necessary.**Lily**You gotta do whatever's best for you.
> Besides, now I get to play matchmaker. I hear Blaine's available.**Regina**HAH! You're not serious, right?**Lily**Heck no. I said I wanted what was best for you...not WORST.

Transition Dialogue

> [In the fairy garden]**Regina**What's next?**Lily**Hm. Well, I wanna at least start fixing the rest of the fairy houses, but that's gonna take a while.
> I can at least start, though.**Regina**That gate needs work too. Regina project!**Lily**Don't you love when we both have stuff to do?**Regina**A hers-and-hers situation. I love it.

#### Clear Area

> [In the fairy garden]**Regina**I was gonna question the wisdom in trying to fix up these fairy houses with a little over a day left...
> But then again, you DID make a museum out of an old airplane in like two days, so.**Lily**I know. I'm amazing.

*A little while later*

> **Regina**All clear![Lily turns her gaze to the mices]**Lily**Oh, hey little fellas! Sorry for the inconvenience, but we're fixing you up with a new and better home!**Regina**You should raise their rent when we're done with the renovations.**Lily**I would never. I would NEVER take advantage of hardworking, middle-class field mice.
> Housing is a human right, Regina!!**Regina**Every time I think I know what's gonna come out of your mouth next, I'm proven wrong.**Lily**You have your Gender Studies minor from Carpentry College, I have my Political Science minor from Numbers College.

#### Repair Fairy House

> [In the fairy garden]**Lily**Alright, little fellas. Get ready to be blown away by your brand new three story lakeside mansion!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**It's so nice to think about Uncle Arthur making these things.
> And repairing them makes me feel a little more connected to him.**Regina**He died when you were really young, right?**Lily**Yeah. Early onset dementia.
> Aunt Mary said it happened really fast. They noticed it starting and then within a few years he was just...gone.**Regina**That's awful.**Lily**Yeah. I never got to know him. I wonder what he'd think of me now.**Regina**Well, I guess I'm biased, but it seems like you turned out all right to me.**Lily**Thanks, lady.**Regina**Welcome, girly.

#### Choose Gate

> [In the fairy garden]**Lily**Have at that gate, lady.**Regina**Regina projeeeect!!

*Player selects an option*

Doesn't look like there's a lot left to do out here.**Lily**No, I'm actually feeling pretty good about the deadline. It's just cleaning up the rest of the grove.**Regina**Okay, cool. I didn't wanna leave you in a lurch, but I wanted to spend tomorrow working on something for a friend.**Lily**Oh, that's no problem.
> I owe you so much for all your help with this project, Regina.**Regina**You know I'm happy to help. And to invoice you.[Regina walks away]**Lily**See you on Judgement Day?**Regina**Wouldn't miss it for the world.

> Anyway, you never told me what was up with those other accounts of Mary's.**Lily**...Oh. Yeah. I'm not getting any of that.**Holly**I knew it. And Philip was just messing with you about it, huh?**Lily**Something like that, I guess.**Holly**Hrmph. I told you he was playing some game with you.
> Well, at least you have the house and the other money.
> You can just sell the house to Mr. Rich and you'll be set for a long time![Regina walks away towards the entrance gate]**Lily**Sure, Mom.**Holly**This place...it was never really your home anyway. You don't need to feel bad about selling it.**Lily**I'm gonna head to bed, Mom.[Lily walks away]**Holly**Suit yourself. Sweet dreams![Lily leaves]**Holly**...
