*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Potato POWER!**Roxy**Arf?**Lily**Yes I'm sure that those are potatoes!**Roxy**Booof...**Lily**You didn't know what a potato was until just now?! And to think I trusted your résumé...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Cabbage Queen Foods is open for business!

What's up?**Lily**Wondered if I might pick your brain about replacing or repairing this greenhouse on my aunt's property.**Regina**Is it...a wooden greenhouse?**Lily**Err, no, I guess it's mostly metal and glass.**Regina**A little out of my wheelhouse, but I can pop over in a bit and help if you want.**Lily**That'd be so great. Thank you!**Regina**Later! \*click\*[The call ends]**Lily**Well, at least that's one thing taken care of...

#### Lay Out Flower Beds

> [In the victory garden]**Lily**Just because it's a fruit and veggie garden doesn't mean I can't pretty it up a little.
> Let's get some flower beds laid down.**Roxy**Boof!**Lily**Oh, sorry Roxy. You don't need to lay down.**Roxy**Boof??**Lily**Just--never mind.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**There! A bit of color never hurt anyone.

> Okay, what's next...

Transition Dialogue

#### Build Berry Beds 1/3

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**I take it the saplings you were gonna plant here are now in that squirrel's nest?**Lily**More like lair. I think he's a supervillain.**Regina**The...squirrel.**Lily**He's haunting my DREAMS, Regina!!**Regina**Are you feeling okay?**Lily**Just this...thin mountain air...

#### Build Berry Beds 2/3

> [In the victory garden]**Regina**So about the supervillain squirrel...
> Now that he's got some food, maybe he'll leave you alone?**Lily**I appreciate you trying to comfort me, Regina, but clearly you don't know this squirrel.
> I've looked into his beady little rodent eyes...I gazed into their inky blackness and saw...only hatred...**Regina**Maybe we should, uh, plant some berries?

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**It's berry-fic!**Lily**Excuse me. One-liners upon task completion are MY job.**Regina**Sorry.

#### Build Berry Beds 3/3

> [In the victory garden]**Regina**Have you considered making peace with the squirrel? Like, giving it a big bag of nuts or something?**Lily**Admirable of you to suggest a diplomatic solution, Regina. It speaks to your character. However...
> We do NOT negotiate with terrorists! He'll just take the nuts and then bite my hand!!**Regina**Well...we could just put the bag on a stick.**Lily**Give him a stick?! DON'T GIVE HIM A STICK!! He'll just smack me with it!!**Regina**this thing's really getting in your head, isn't he.**Lily**Regina walks away**Regina**Okay! So, tiles go here, right?

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**It's tile-rific!**Lily**Stop stealing my thunder, already.**Regina**All right, but you've gotta admit I'm getting pretty good at it.

#### Water Crops

> [In the victory garden]**Regina**You seem to get good results with the soil here.**Lily**Yeah! I still needed to get it prepped for the specific stuff I'm growing, but it's good soil.**Regina**Probably volcanic or something.**Lily**What are you talking about?**Regina**I mean, this area, all the mountains and fault lines?
> You gotta figure one or more of 'em used to be volcanoes.**Lily**...
> Oh no...am I living on a volcano?
> WAIT. DOES THE SUPERVILLAIN SQUIRREL HAVE A SECRET VOLCANO LAIR?**Regina**Why don't you, uh, give yourself some of that water, Lils?

#### Build Greenhouse 1/3

> [In the victory garden]**Regina**Okay, let's get this greenhouse figured out.
> Probably gonna need a lot of materials for this and I don't have any steel in stock...hope you got deep pockets!**Lily**Haha, sure! I inherited a fortune, remember?[Regina walks away]**Regina**I'll go and grab what I have. Be back in a few.[Regina leaves]**Lily**Uh...wait...
> Deep pockets...I definitely don't have deep pockets.
> How am I going to pay Regina for this stuff?![Regina walks back to Lily]**Regina**Okay, let's get started!**Lily**Regina, uh...**Regina**I guess we should start with the main structure.
> Lils, hit me with a design for this!**Lily**Yeah, all right...how about something like...

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**Hey, not bad so far. A lot of that structure was rusted over. No one was taking care of it.**Lily**Regina, I need to tell you something.**Regina**Sure! What's up?

#### Talk To Regina

> [In the victory garden]**Lily**It's about the greenhouse...kinda...**Regina**Hm?**Lily**It's just, there's a lot of stuff I need to get done, and uh...**Regina**Yeah, probably. Oh hey--that book, was it your great aunt's?**Lily**What? Oh, yeah, I think so.**Regina**Steel Curtain...I know it from somewhere...can't think of where.
> Anyway. What were you saying?**Lily**Haha, just, uh, never mind! Just anxious to get some more work done, I guess!!**Regina**Did you get rabies from that squirrel? You're so...so squirrely today.
> Are you the fabled weresquirrel?**Lily**I--**Regina**Chill, babe. Have some more water.

#### Spy Novel?

> [In the victory garden]**Lily**Hey, did you figure out where you knew that book from?**Regina**Oh! Yeah! My grandpa was big into those books when I was a kid.
> It's a spy series. Follows this lady spy all the way from World War II through the Cold War.
> You should read one of those sometime. The main character is amazing. Strong and smart and sexy.**Lily**I could probably stand to improve in all of those areas...

#### Build Greenhouse 2/3

> [In the victory garden]**Lily**Ugh, this is humiliating...I messed up so bad!
> I can't pay Regina for her time or supplies with Aunt Mary's account so threadbare...
> The only thing I can think of is...no, I can't do that... I can't call HIM...**Regina**You okay over there, girly?**Lily**Aaahh!!
> YES!!**Regina**Ooookay.
> Help me out with the design of the domes here.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Amazing job, Regina! You still feel out of your element?**Regina**Yeah, well...I'm getting the hang of it.

> Ha ha! Just joking. I don't get scared of anything. Never. Ever. Nope!**Lily**Hey, are you being sarcastic or not?**Regina**Who needs wood work to calm their nerves? Not me. THAT'S for sure!
> Calm...soothing...non-lethal wood work, yeah...

Transition Dialogue

> [In the victory garden]**Regina**Hey, why don't we take a quick break? You seem like you're spread a little thin today.**Lily**Yeah...that's a good idea.

> \*click\***Lily**I...don't know how I thought that would go.
> How humiliating...[Lily returns in the victory garden]**Regina**Hey lady. You feeling any better?**Lily**No.**Regina**What's wrong?**Luke**Hey ladies. You workin' on the greenhouse?[Luke walks towards Lily and Regina]**Lily**Oh! Hey, Luke.**Luke**Wow!
> Nice work, Regina! Couldn't have done it better myself!**Regina**Thanks! And I wasn't even scared of the whole thing crashing down on me a single time. Not scared at all!**Lily**Yeah, we got a bunch done...I tried calling you...**Luke**Sorry about that. I left my phone at home when I went out.
> Hey, got a sec to talk?**Lily**Of course.

#### Talk To Luke

> [In the victory garden]**Luke**So, I've been thinkin' a lot about what we talked about the other day, and I think I have a plan to clean up my act, so to speak.**Lily**That's great!**Luke**Could use your help around my place, if I could take you up on your offer of help?**Lily**Yeah, of course!**Luke**Great. Oh, you said you called about the greenhouse? Do you need help with it still?**Lily**I sure do.[Regina walks toward Lily and Luke]**Regina**Do we have another pair of hands for this project?**Luke**Two big, manly hands!**Regina**Oh, thank goodness, Lily. Manly hands. We're saved.**Lily**It's true! We have four hands between us and not a manly one in the bunch.**Luke**I get the feelin' I'm bein' made fun of...

#### Build Greenhouse 3/3

> [In the victory garden]**Luke**All this metal and glass...what a cool piece of work.**Regina**Yup...Lots of expensive materials. Those custom made curved windows did not come cheap!**Luke**I bet. Good thing you have an inheritance you can spend on this.**Regina**You'd NEED one!**Lily**Haha...yeah...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Amazing! I can't believe how nice it looks now that it's all done...**Luke**Yeah, see what adding a pair of big, manly hands to the mix can do?**Lily**Again with the hands.**Regina**They ARE big hands...**Lily**Don't encourage him.

#### Plant Rose Bushes

> [In the victory garden]**Regina**More rosebushes!**Lily**Yeah, they're all over the property.**Regina**This one seems like it avoided having an ex-boyfriend step in it.**Lily**The day's not over yet...
> Everything's coming up roses

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**Have you heard anything from Blaine at all since the other day with Larry?**Lily**Nope! Nothing! Nothing at all!**Regina**O...kay.
> Well, I hope he tears many more pairs of pants on many more rosebushes in his life.**Lily**There's a sentiment I think we can all get behind.

#### Trim Topiaries

> [In the victory garden]**Lily**Aunt Mary had these trimmed into fun shapes.**Luke**Like...unicorns or somethin?**Lily**What? No, like, shapes. Geometric shapes.**Luke**Oh.
> Well...what are you gonna make 'em look like?**Lily**I mean, now you've got me thinking"unicorn"...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Tadaa!**Luke**Lookin' good!**Lily**You think so?

Transition Dialogue

> [In the victory garden]**Regina**Boy, we got a lot done, huh?**Lily**I'll say. Thanks for helping even though this isn't really your thing, Regina.**Regina**Happy to help! I'll just add it to your tab, haha.**Lily**...Hahaha...**Luke**How many days left to fix up the rest of the place?**Lily**Uhh...20? I can't believe it's already been ten days...[The squirrel comes close to Regina]**Luke**Well, as long as you've got the cash to keep getting the supplies you need, I think you can do it.**Lily**Oh...listen, both of you, I--[the squirrel steals a tool and runs off chased by Roxy]**Regina**HEY!
> That squirrel just grabbed my multi tool!
> How can he even CARRY it?! Get back here, you little monster!![The squirrel climbs a tree and Roxy barks from below]**Squirrel***Chitter chitter!*

#### Catch Squirrel Again

> [In the victory garden]**Squirrel**chitter, chitter!**Regina**Give that back, squirrel![The squirrel comes down from the tree making Roxy run away and threatens Lily, Luke and Regina with her tool in his mouth]**Regina**O-okay! You can have it. Easy, now!**Luke**What the heck did you do to that squirrel, Lily?**Lily**Well, I kinda destroyed its home. Let me handle this...[Lily gets close to the squirrel]**Lily**Okay, Squirrel! PUT DOWN the multitool and back away slowly. Leave Regina out of this!**Squirrel***Chitter chitter!*[The squirrel runs away]**Regina**Great...now it's armed AND it knows my name. Thanks, Lily.
> Well...that was unexpected. I think I'll head home now. In the meantime, try not to make any more mortal rodent enemies, will ya?[Regina leaves]**Lily**Okay, bye!
> Oh...I didn't get to tell her that...**Luke**Tell her what?**Lily**\*sigh\*
> Can I share a highly personal problem with you?**Luke**Doubt it could be more personal than the problems I shared with you.
> What's on your mind?

#### Talk To Luke

> [In the victory garden]**Lily**All those jokes you guys kept cracking about my inheritance...
> It turns out there's no money.**Luke**Wait, what?**Lily**Yeah. And it turns out Aunt Mary wasn't up to date on her property taxes either, so I actually owe the state a bunch of money.**Luke**How much are we talkin'?**Lily**It's...a whole lot.**Luke**I wish I could help, but all my savings went into that roadster...**Lily**No, no, I could never let you give me that kind of money.**Luke**Seems kinda mean of your aunt to leave you all this to do and not even give you enough money to do it.**Lily**Yeah...maybe she really was just senile at the end.
> Anyway. I'll figure it out somehow. See you tomorrow?**Luke**Yeah. Yeah, see ya.**Luke**Luke leaves**Roxy**Boof...**Lily**What's up, Roxy? Did the multitool-wielding squirrel scare you?**Roxy**Borf?**Lily**Of course you can stay inside the house tonight.**Roxy**Ar-arf?**Lily**Yes, I promise it's completely squirrel proof.[The squirrel wanders in front of the house]**Squirrel**Chitter Chitter?

#### Start New Day

> [In front of the house]**Lily**Got a lot done today, at least...
> Just wish I didn't have the sword of Damocles over my head...
> Maybe the answer'll come to me in a dream tonight.

*3:02 AM*

> [Lily dreams]**Lily**Make...a sssharp left up here, Larry.
> Put the pedal to the m...metal!

> **Lily**Never thought I'd team up with arch-nemeses to rob a bank...**Larry**Why defraud someone for money when you can just steal it directly?**Lily**Yeah! You guys are right! You'll never catch me, coppers!!
