*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Perfect!**???**Quack quack!![Some ducks get close]**Lily**Uh, duckies. Hello there!

> *Practicing my ALGAE-bra!*
> *Rake rake rake!*
> *Algae schmalgy. HA!*

*Lots of algae later*

> **Lily**That looks much better now that the pond scum and trash are gone.
>
> I bet Uncle Arthur used to take Aunt Mary on picnics here.
> Somebody oughta take ME on a picnic...[Regina walks towards Lily]**Lily**Well, wait, I’m a modern woman. I can go picnicking by myself if I want!
> Yeah!!**Regina**Who are you talking to?**Lily**AAHH!! Why is everyone always sneaking up on me?! Jeez!!**Regina**Wanna get started on the bridge here?

#### Build A Bridge

> [In the pond]**Regina**Alright, we’re all set. You go ahead and pick a bridge design, Lils!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Wow! Amazing work, Regina!**Regina**Thanks![Lily and Regina cross the bridge]**Lily**This place is SO romantic.**Regina**Yeah, sure. If you don’t mind getting eaten by the swamp monster!
> I’ve never seen a pond this GREEN![Luke crosses the bridge and walks towards Lily and Regina]**Luke**Hey, I was wondering when you were gonna get around to fixing up the pond.**Lily**Oh! Hey Luke.
> Regina, this is my neighbor Luke.**Regina**Mmhmm.**Lily**Oh, you...already know each other. Excellent. Are you both gonna stick around?**Luke**Yeah, I was gonna help out, since I owe ya for taking care of Roxy for me anyhow.**Regina**Yeah, sure, I can stay for a bit.**Lily**Okay! In that case, I could use some help cleaning the pond and fixing up that old boat...**Luke**Well, point the way, boss lady.

#### Pull The Boat In

> [In the pond]**Lily**Can you guys help me pull the boat in?**Luke**Ready, cap’n.

*1 minute later*

> **Luke**That wasn’t so bad. You probably could’ve handled it solo, Lily.**Lily**No way! Today is all about the spirit of cooperation!
> I guess we ARE literally building bridges.**Regina**It’s a little on the nose, isn’t it?
> Well, if you don’t mind splitting up, I can work on repairing the dock.**Luke**Yeah, I can fix up the boat, too.**Lily**The plan is working. We’re all gonna be friends. Hee hee...**Regina**We can hear you, Lily...

#### Repair The Boat

> [In the pond]**Lily**How’s the boat?**Luke**Well...that swamp monster, Regina talked about. Yeah, this boat must’ve been his chew toy...**Lily**So...Can you fix it?**Luke**Of course. It’s all made of...well, you don’t need me to go into the sales pitch again. It’ll be fine.**Lily**Great. I’ll leave you to it then.

*A few hours later*

> **Luke**A few patches here and there. Just need to wait for the sealant to cure.**Lily**Did you have a secret life as a boat repairman I don’t know about?**Luke**Haha, naw. My dad took me fishin’ when I was a kid, though.
> Metal’s metal, machines are machines. Once you have a handle on the basics you can fix a lot of different stuff.
> Hey, what’s your favorite color? Lemme know and I’ll paint the boat.

#### Clean The Pond

> [In the pond]**Lily**Okay, guys. The rules are simple. If it’s green and slimy it’s gotta go!
> Except for the frogs. I wanna keep those...**Luke**Any fish in here?**Lily**I think...there used to be bass populating the pond. Or was it rainbow trout?**Regina**Enough with the fish talk. I wanna catch that swamp monster![Lily, Luke and Regina clean the pond]**Regina***Here, Swampy Swampy!***Luke***It's like one giant booger!***Lily***Whoops! Sorry, froggy!*

*Lots of algae later*

> **Lily**Great job, you guys!**Luke**Yeah! You can see the bottom now...and there ARE fish!**Regina**Pfff...! I just want my swamp monster. Think we would’ve bonded...**Lily**Bonding...Hmm...I feel like having a picnic!
> Just gotta...\*sigh\* build up the courage to invite them. What if they say no?

#### Restore The Pier

> [In the pond]**Lily**How’s the pier?**Regina**Definitely some planks that need replacing here. And I can replace the waterproofing too.**Lily**So...you can fix it?**Regina**Ha ha, seriously? It’s literally my job, remember? Just need you to pick a design, Lils!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Looks amazing, Regina![Luke walks towards Lily and Regina]**Regina**Definitely back to its former glory.**Lily**Former glory? Where did you--**Luke**Hey, Lily. Got a sec?**Lily**Hm? Yeah, sure.

#### Talk To Luke

> [In the pond]**Lily**What’s wrong?**Luke**Oh, just, uh...
> What’s her deal?**Lily**Whose, Regina’s?**Luke**Yeah. Feels like she doesn’t like me.**Lily**I assumed you two knew each other.**Luke**I mean, I’ve seen her around town, but I don’t really know her.**Lily**I get the impression she doesn’t like most men. I don’t think you’re a special case.**Luke**Hrmph.**Lily**Oh, don’t pout. C’mon, let’s get back to it.

#### Paint The Boat

> [In the pond]**Luke**So which color do you want the boat?**Lily**Well...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Looks amazing, Luke!**Luke**I’m thinkin’...the “S.S. Luke.” In recognition of my virtuoso work.**Lily**Get outta here, dork.**Luke**Oh, I’m the dork now? Says the accountant?[Regina walks towards Lily and Luke]**Lily**FORMER accountant, first of all--**Regina**Hey Lily, can I have a word?**Lily**Hm? Sure...

#### Talk To Regina

> [In the pond]**Lily**So what’s up?**Regina**Look, I’m just gonna cut to the chase. I don’t like Luke.**Lily**Seriously? Why?**Regina**I just...don’t think he’s a good guy. I dunno. I get a bad vibe!
> It’s like he’s hiding something. I don’t want him doing anything to hurt you.**Lily**You worry too much. He’s been helping me since I got here. But...I thank you for worrying about me. It means a lot.
> C’mon! We got stuff to do!

#### Lay Out Water Lilies

> [In the pond]**Luke**Hey Lily, what are you up to?**Lily**I’m putting out water lilies!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Perfect!**Luke**If I threw you in the pond, you’d be a water Lily too!**Lily**DON’T YOU DARE.**Luke**Wow! That was scary! Jeez!**Lily**I’m not very good at swimming and guys always thought it was soooo funny to throw me into the water.**Luke**Don’t worry, I’m not gonna do it.**Lily**Mmhmm.

#### Rake Leaves

> [In the pond]**Lily**Hey, dead leaves. See this rake? Yeah...mmhmm...that’s right...time to leave!
> Heh...leave...[Lily rakes the leaves]

*10 Minutes Later*

> **Lily**Boom! I feel like I’m turning back the clock on this place.
> And maybe turning my life forward a little.

#### Picnic Invitation

> [In the pond]**Lily**...H-hey, I have an idea!**Regina**What’s up?**Lily**Ummm... so...
> Do you guys wanna have a picnic with me?**Regina**A...picnic?**Lily**It’s okay!! You don’t have to do it!!**Regina**No no, I mean, that doesn’t sound...terrible.**Lily**Luke?**Luke**Uh, sure. Let’s picnic.**Lily**Oh!! Okay!!
> [Lily walks away]**Lily**I’m gonna prep some food then. Good food. My friends deserve ONLY the best! Ha ha!
> Foodfoodfood!**Luke**Is she okay?**Regina**Beats me.

#### Get Picnic Ready

> [In the pond with a picnic on the lawn]**Lily**Okay! Food’s ready!!**Regina**Seriously, Lils...you expect us to eat THAT?**Lily**Well...I...erh...guh--**Regina**I’m JOKING, goofball! Food looks AMAZING!**Lily**OH! Sarcasm. Right! Ha ha... ha... thanks.**Luke**Thank YOU! I can’t remember the last time anyone has served me a meal like this. Blanket and everything!

#### Start Picnic

> [In the pond with a picnic on the lawn]**Lily**We got so much done! C’mon, let’s have out picnic. Let’s start by asking each other some questions!**Regina**What? Like truth or dare?**Lily**Oh...No, nothing like that! I was just thinking...it would be nice getting to know each other a little better. Ask me anything!**Luke**OKAY! I’m in! What’s your favorite food, Lily?**Lily**Eel sushi!**Luke**Wait, EEL? Really?**Lily**Everybody always says that if they’ve never had it. My mom always made boring food when I was little...chicken and pasta all the time.
> So when I moved to the city I got to try all sorts of foods I never had before. And I love sushi. And eel!
> Okay, now...Regina.

#### Ask Regina Something

> [In the pond with a picnic on the lawn]**Lily**My question is: are you related to Philip Jones?**Regina**Ha. Yeah. I guess I never mentioned it. He’s my grandpa.
> I talked to him yesterday after you called me, and he told me about your situation and the will.**Lily**How come you’ve been so eager to help with everything?**Regina**Well...your great-aunt meant a lot to my grandpa. I know he’s invested in seeing this place restored.
> And your great-aunt was always really kind to me as a kid.
> So, I feel like I’m paying it forward a little.**Lily**Okay, so that’s one mystery solved.
> Now...Luke. I have questions.**Luke**Oh, I’m not lovin’ that tone.

#### Ask Luke Something

> [In the pond with a picnic on the lawn]**Lily**Okay, Luke. Let’s see...umm...How come you’ve been leaving town so much?**Luke**...
> Eh, what the hell.
> My wife--ex-wife--and I are getting divorced.
> I moved out here when we split up. But we’ve been in court arguing over custody for our daughter.
> It’s been hard. I have to go into the city for all the hearings and lawyer meetings.**Regina**Sounds awful...Are you trying to get full custody?**Luke**I mean, I’d settle for partial. But I don’t know if I’m even gonna get that.
> My ex has a pretty good case.**Lily**...I’m sorry. That really wasn’t my business.**Luke**Nah, it’s okay. It would’ve come out eventually.
> Now, come on. Let’s eat. I’m starving!**Lily**Yeah, good idea.

*One fine picnic later*

> **Luke**You were right. A picnic was just what I needed today, somehow.**Regina**I’m gonna head home to hubby. Lemme know if you need any more help, okay, Lily?
> Luke. Nice to meet you.**Luke**Yeah. Same.[Regina leaves]**Lily**What about you? Gonna head out?**Luke**Kinda wanted to see how the lights look at night first, if that’s okay.**Lily**S-Sure!

#### Start New Day

> [In the pond, in the evening]

> **Lily**What do you think? Do the lights live up to your expectations?**Luke**...Yeah. Yeah, they kinda do.**Lily**...Hey, I’m sorry about earlier. Butting in on your private life like that.**Luke**No, it’s okay. Really. I owed you an explanation anyway.
> These days in court have, uh, laid some of my faults pretty bare.
> But I’m fulla surprises! I’m sure I’ll find some new faults before too long.**Lily**Hey, you need to be nicer to yourself. You’ll figure all this stuff out.
> And in the meantime, I don’t know if a guy who was made entirely of faults would be helping his dumpy neighbor with odd jobs.**Luke**You ain’t dumpy. Miss “Be Nicer To Yourself.”**Lily**Luke?
> Thanks for fixing stuff.**Luke**Thanks for watchin’ my dog, lady.
> **Lily**...**Luke**I’m...Just gonna watch the lights on the water a little longer, if that’s okay.**Lily**Long as you want.
