Didn't she stay over?**Luke**Yeah, she did. But man, she let me have it last night.**Lily**What do you mean?**Luke**She's real mad at me. Said I was ignorin' her all day yesterday, wasn't listenin'...And she sure didn't like that bike or the play tower.**Lily**I kinda got that feeling.**Luke**I messed up.**Lily**Well, she talked to you about it, so that's good, right?**Luke**I mean, I'm glad she told me. But...oof.
> Anyway. I need a big favor. I gotta run an errand and I can't bring Karen.**Lily**Karen, the daughter that you were just now allowed to start seeing again?**Luke**I know, I know, but it's true. She can't be there. Do you think you could watch her for a few hours for me?**Lily**I'm working on the hangar garden today. What are the odds she'll want to participate?**Luke**Ha ha! Oh, slim to zilch, probably.**Lily**Promise me it's important?**Luke**Promise.**Lily**Okay, okay. Get outta here, beatnik!**Luke**Thank you thank you thank you!
> Also, the mailman came![Luke leaves in hurry]**Lily**Last time I was alone with Karen was okay, but the FIRST time...
> Well, first I'm gonna tend to my number one survival strategy - Procrastination! Gotta check my mailbox! Yeah!

#### Check Mailbox

> [At the entrance gate]**Lily**What did you bring for me, Mr. Mailman...[Karen walks towards Lily followed by Roxy]**Lily**Junk...bill...oohh! Buy one rotisserie chicken, get one free!
> And...a second notice from the state tax board! Haha!
> Jusssst gonna ignore it! Hahahaha! Haha!**Karen**Why are you talking to your mailbox?[Lily turns her gaze to Karen]**Lily**Oh, hey Karen!
> Your dad tell you we're gonna hang out for a while today?**Karen**\*sigh\* Yeah.**Lily**Aw, come on! I'm not that bad!**Karen**It's not you. You're okay.
> Dad just left me here! On purpose!**Lily**He said it was really important. Should only be gone for a bit.**Karen**...**Roxy**Boowoooof.**Lily**How about we take a little walk and check out the Memorial garden?**Karen**...Okay. I guess.

#### Check Out Memorial Garden

> [In the memorial garden]**Karen**This garden doesn't have anything in it.**Lily**Well, that's why I'm working on it today!
> I know it doesn't look like much, but this garden is gonna be all about my Aunt Mary.**Karen**The one who died?**Lily**Yeah. She was an old lady and she had a really long life. That's what I'm trying to honor here...all the cool stuff she did!**Karen**What kinda stuff?**Lily**Help me pick some weeds and I'll tell you all about it.

#### Clear Weeds

> [In the memorial garden]**Lily**You just grab the weeds by the base of the stem and try to pull the roots out.[Lily kneels and removes weeds]**Lily**ike this!**Karen**How come?**Lily**Because we hate 'em and that's the only way to make them stop growing![Karen helps Lily to remove weeds]**Karen**So what kinda stuff did your aunt do?**Lily**She flew all over the world and did the most amazing things. Climbed mountains and explored jungles...**Karen**Whoa...
> I wanna go all over the world too.
> Dad says I have to be tall enough to ride a rollercoaster first though.**Lily**That seems fair.
> That's all the weeds. Now we lay the out the soil!

#### Lay Out Soil

> [In the memorial garden Lily Karen is sitting on the wheelbarrow]**Karen**So we just dump a bunch of dirt here?**Lily**Sort of, yeah! We wanna make a kinda half globe shape with it.**Karen**Haha, mom would hate to see me playing with dirt...**Lily**Well, you're not playing with it! You're working with it.

*Lots of dirt later*

> **Lily**Aunt Mary always used to say 'Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life!'**Karen**Wait, I'll never have to work if I do fun stuff all the time?**Lily**What? No, it's--**Karen**That sounds awesome! I'm just gonna do fun stuff when I grow up!**Lily**No, it means if you do something you like to do, then it's not work.**Karen**So if I want to work and make money I have to do stuff I hate??**Lily**Jeez, I hadn't realized this alphorism was so open to interpretation...**Karen**What's an aphrodisiac?**Lily**LET'S JUST PLANT THE FLOWERS NOW.

#### Plant Earth Flowers

> [In the memorial garden]**Karen**So this is where the earth is gonna go?**Lily**Yeah! We're gonna plant grass for the land, and hydrangeas for the water.**Karen**What color are the hydrangeas?**Lily**Blue! Like water!**Karen**Oh, okay. What color is the grass?**Lily**Uh, green, like...grass.**Karen**Oh. That makes sense.

*Lots of flowers later*

> **Karen**This looks neat!**Lily**Yeah! And you helped!**Karen**Okay. I've thought about it a lot, and here's what I think.

#### Place Stanchions

> [In the memorial garden]**Lily**Okay, now we're gonna set up the stanchions.**Karen**What's a stanchion?**Lily**You know when you go to the movies and you have to wait in line to buy tickets?**Karen**No. Mom just buys tickets on her phone.**Lily**Okay, uhh...what about the amusement park? When you have to wait in line for a ride?**Karen**Dad hates lines so we don't really go to amusement parks.**Lily**Jeez. Uhhhh...what about...when you go to--you know what, never mind.
> They're rope barriers to keep people from going places they're not supposed to go.**Karen**Oh. Like when famous people are in their fancy clothes and everyone's taking pictures of them?**Lily**Sure. Let's go with that. Come on, give me a hand.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Barrier-riffic!**Karen**What?**Lily**Oh, uh, sometimes when I finish a job, I kinda just...**Karen**Say weird stuff?**Lily**Yeah.

#### Clear Weeds

> [In the memorial garden in the middle garden]**Karen**What's going here?**Lily**Aunt Mary had some adventures in Egypt when she was young, so I'm gonna do a little desert-themed garden.**Karen**Uh, flowers don't grow in the desert.**Lily**Lots of plants grow in the desert! Cactuses, acacias, succulents, palms...
> So that's what we're gonna plant here!

#### Choose Desert Centerpiece

> [In the memorial garden in the middle garden]**Lily**We're almost done here! I think it looks pretty cool.**Karen**It reminds me of that movie about the mummy.**Lily**You mean "The Mummy"?**Karen**Hmm...maybe...**Lily**You're so much like your dad...
> Okay, last bit. What do you think we should put here?

*Player selects an option*

> **Karen**This!**Lily**Thanks for the help, Karen.**Karen**You're welcome. I mean, uh, whatever.
>
> Egypt seems cool...I wonder if I woulda been a pharaoh.**Lily**I think you needed to be Egyptian for that.**Karen**Mom says anything is possible if you put your mind to it.**Lily**Sure, but maybe not...that.

#### Clear Weeds

> [In the memorial garden in the left garden]**Lily**Let's clear the weeds out from here.**Karen**How do you know what's a weed and what's a good plant?**Lily**Well, right now, pretty much everything here is a weed.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**When the bees wake up, they'll REALLY love this flowerbed.**Karen**How'd you know how to use that smoke on the bees?**Lily**Aunt Mary taught me. She's kept bees for honey my whole life.

I didn't know you were into flowers.**Karen**I mean...it's not like I'm INTO them...I just think they're kinda cool now.**Lily**Well, I was thinking of making an Asian-themed garden here. Is that kinda cool?**Karen**Yeah!

#### Clear Weeds

> [In the memorial garden in the right garden]**Karen**So we gotta pull out the weeds, right?**Lily**Yeah! And then we can dig out a little pond.
> I even saw a cute little footbridge in the hangar we can put over it!**Karen**Jeeez...I thought it'd just be pulling weeds...

*Weeds, a bridge, and an entire pond later...*

> **Karen**"Weed" did it! "Water" the odds?**Lily**See? It's fun, right?**Karen**Maybe a little. You said this is gonna be an Asian garden?**Lily**Yeah!

That's what we call Grandma and Grandpa.**Lily**You're gonna have to tell me all about your family while we plant the garden.**Karen**Okay!

> I just made it look like it looked in this one painting!**Lily**Do you like art?**Karen**I like video games. Those are art! Right?**Lily**Depends on who you ask, probably.**Karen**I asked Mom and she said...ummm...
> "Any experience created by artists must necessarily be art, even if I don't personally enjoy it."**Lily**That seems fair. Did you ask you dad too?**Karen**Yeah. Dad says video games rot your brain, and also that he could never beat the Battletoads jetbike level.

#### Talk To Karen

> [In the memorial garden Lily and Karen are sitting on the deck of the right garden]**Lily**So you said your mom is Japanese?**Karen**Yeah! Oba-chan and Oji-chan came here from Japan. That's how come our last name's Kawakami! And we're from Shimane prefecture!**Lily**It's really neat that you know where you're from.**Karen**Mom says it's important to know that stuff. And to know how to make dumplings. I like the dumplings part.**Lily**What about your dad? Where's his family from?**Karen**Oh, Dad says he's a mutt.**Lily**That explains the smell, right?**Karen**And the dirt! Hahaha!**Lily**Let's...not tell him we said that.**Karen**It's okay. I call him stinky all the time. He just grumbles and says it's his "musk".**Lily**He is pretty musky up close...**Karen**Huh?**Lily**Hm? Nothing!

#### Choose Asian Flowers 2/2

> [In the memorial garden in the right garden]**Lily**Next flowerbed design, Miss Kawakami?**Karen**Gross! That makes me sound like a teacher.
> But...how about this one...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Gorgeous!
> Have you ever gone to work with your mom?**Karen**Yeah, but it's not any fun. She just kinda looks at buildings all day.
> Sometimes she kinda puts her hands in front of her face and makes a rectangle with them and then nods.**Lily**I like your mom.**Karen**She likes you too.**Lily**She does?**Karen**She thinks you kicked Dad's butt. "Sometimes boys just really need their butts kicked", she said.**Lily**They really do.

#### Choose Asian Centerpiece

> [In the memorial garden in the right garden]**Lily**Okay, now we just gotta pick the centerpiece. Aunt Mary had all this stuff in storage.
> What do you think we should use in the garden?**Karen**Oh! Let's see...

*Player selects an option*

> **Karen**I think this one's cool!
> Mom's gonna love it!
> That would make me feel pretty good.**Lily**How come?**Karen**Oh, just...she sets this kinda stuff up at her job. If she thought I did a good job, it would be a big compliment!**Lily**Well, did you try your best?**Karen**Yeah, I think so.
> She always says I just have to try my best, because my best is good enough. So I bet she'll like your garden too.**Lily**Thanks, kiddo.

Transition Dialogue

> [In the memorial garden]**Karen**Mom and Dad!!**Luke**Haha, hi munchkin. Are we all done sayin' hello to each other individually now?**Rachel**Karen, did you help Lily with this garden today?**Karen**Yeah! And we talked about Japan! And about how Dad smells bad! And I picked this flower!**Rachel**Can you run that back for me a little?**Lily**Not important! Yes, she was a huge help today. I daresay she was enjoying herself.**Rachel**Good. Hey, Luke told me about this garden and I had a cool idea!
> We could turn your aunt's plane into a centerpiece!**Lily**Whoa! That's a great idea! Luke would have to tow it back over here, of course...**Luke**Already did. And I happen to be done with my errands, so...**Lily**Yeah! Let's do it!**Luke**Oh, and when you got a spare second, I could use a hand with somethin' Lily.

#### Place Aeroplane

> [In the memorial garden]**Rachel**What do you think? Right over the globe flowerbed?
> Perfect. Ready, Luke?**Luke**Ready!

*Player selects an option*

> **Rachel**It's...perfect.**Karen**So cooool...**Lily**I'm so happy. Aunt Mary lived such a full life. This whole estate is a testament to that, but this...
> Well, this is for her, from me.**Rachel**Know what'd make it look really professional? Some lights on the plane.**Lily**You're right! It'd be like a real exhibition then.

#### Place Spotlights

> [In the memorial garden]**Lily**What kinda setup were you thinking?**Rachel**Probably something like...
> This!**Lily**Lights, camera, Aunt Mary!**Rachel**I love it. Have you thought about turning the estate into an event space?**Lily**An event space?**Rachel**Yeah! Imagine the cute little weddings you could host in the party garden, for example. You could even rent out the house.
> People make good money on that stuff. I should know.**Lily**I never really thought about it like that...**Rachel**You could even just have a property manager handle everything. You could just have an \*apartment in town and collect your money.**Lily**It'd feel weird to just...abandon the place.**Rachel**Well, I wouldn't call it that. It's just a lot of house for one person. A lot of work.**Lily**...Yeah...**Rachel**Anyway, if you want to look into it, I can connect you with some people. Happy to help.**Lily**Thanks, Rachel.

#### Help Luke

> [In the memorial garden]**Lily**What's up?**Luke**So the errands today were so I could put a party together to try to make up actin' like a dummy with Karen.
> Would it be okay if we used the...[Luke dances]**Luke**...PARTY ZONE?**Lily**We would love to host you in the...[Lily dances]**Lily**...PARTY ZONE.**Luke**Let's go get it set up.[In the party garden]**Lily**Let's see...I got, uh, this...and this...**Luke**Let's go with this one.[Luke sets the table]**Lily**It's party-riffic!**Luke**Thanks, Lil. You're a lifesaver.**Lily**You got it, daddy-o.

Hoho!
>
> Now, in more pressing matters, I have some news for you.**Lily**Oh! What is it??

#### Talk To Philip

> [In the memorial garden]**Philip Jones**I got a hold of the publisher of the Barry Means' novels and explained our situation.
> Their legal counsel informed me that Barry Means was indeed your aunt's pseudonym. Quite a prolific author, Mary was.**Lily**We were right, Regina!**Regina**Yeah we were! Lily and Regina, on the case!**Philip Jones**I also learned that her royalties were paid into an account I wasn't aware of. As her executor, I was able to access it...
> ...And I can confirm that the movie business is quite lucrative indeed.
> Should you inherit, you shall be a wealthy woman, Miss Roberts.**Lily**Oh, thank goodness...I can pay off the tax man...I don't even need to move to Denmark.**Philip Jones**Denmark?**Lily**Never mind. Thank you for the help, Mr. Jones. I'm so relieved. And now I can finally pay you, too, Regina.**Regina**Oh, good, because you've been runnin' up quite a tab, lady.**Lily**Hahaha![Luke, Karen and Rachel walk towards Lily, Philip and Regina]**Luke**Hey, why don't we go celebrate in the PARTY ZONE?
> I'm definitely down for some party time. What about you munchkin?**Karen**Hm? Okay, sure.

#### Throw Surprise Party

> [In the party garden]**Luke**So we actually told a little fib back there.**Karen**What do you mean?**Luke**This party's for you!**Karen**Oh!**Luke**I missed your birthday, I goofed up with your bike...I just wasn't payin' attention to you like I shoulda been.
> But your feelings are important. So as long as you keep talkin' to me, I'm gonna listen better now. Okay?**Karen**Okay. Thanks, Dad.**Luke**Speaking of bikes...[Luke walks into the dancefloor followed by Karen where he shows her her new bike]**Luke**I thought maybe this one was more your style.**Karen**Oh YEAH it is!!
> Mom!! Lily!! Check it out!![Lily and Rachel walk towards Luke and Karen]**Lily**Now THAT's a Karen bike.**Luke**Okay, everybody! What a day! Let's eat some treats!

*Later*

> **Lily**Careful with the cake, Mr. Jones! You want those perfect teeth to stay perfect!**Philip Jones**Oh, let an old man indulge himself!**Rachel**Hey Lily. Can I grab you for a sec?**Lily**Of course!

#### Talk To Rachel

> [In the party garden near the oak tree]**Lily**What's up?**Rachel**You have an effect on people, don't you?**Lily**What do you mean?**Rachel**I mean, you're here for two weeks and suddenly Luke changes his whole tune on this custody stuff.
> You spend two days with my daughter and she's talking out her issues with Luke. And wearing flowers in her hair!
> Karen! Flowers!**Lily**That's not me! People just...do stuff they wanna do that's all.**Rachel**I think you don't give yourself enough credit.
> You've just got good energy. An aura or whatever.**Lily**Are you an...aura person?**Rachel**Haha, no. But if I was, I think yours would be bright pink.**Lily**I'm into it!**Rachel**But listen. This is all to say: I consider you a friend, and I'm grateful for your help.
> You could have written me off as your friend's bitter ex, but you didn't, and my family is stronger for it.**Lily**I've seen enough movies about women tearing each other down. I only care about building each other up now.**Rachel**Then let's build something together. Friends?**Lily**Friends!**Rachel**Great. We're gonna head out soon, I think, but we'll see you soon!

#### Start New Day

*3:02AM*

> **Lily**Zzzzzennnn Zzzennnn...[Lily dreams]

> **Lily**...
> Regina? What are you doing in my dream?**Regina**I'm not REALLY Regina, I'm just a subconscious manifestation of her personality to help you work through your anxieties.**Lily**Oh. I guess that makes sense. You don't really talk like her, though.**Regina**Girl yes I do!!**Lily**Okay, okay!! So what's up?**Regina**Oh, I was just thinking about your new friend.**Lily**Rachel? Yeah, she's really nice.**Regina**I was just wondering something...**Lily**What?**Regina**Do friends...date each other's exes?**Lily**...**Regina**.......**Lily**OH NO.
