And where are you off to all smiley and chipper?**Lily**Breakfast at Luke's.**Holly**Wouldn't it be easier to just sleep over already?**Lily**Where I sleep is none of your business.
> Besides, Luke and I are just friends.**Holly**Right...You keep telling yourself that, honey.

#### Breakfast At Luke's

> [Outside Luke's Residence]**Lily**Hey guys! I can smell the coffee all the way out here!**Luke**Mornin', Lils! Come in, grab a plate! We made pancakes!

*One cozy breakfast later.'*

> **Rachel**Good seeing you, Lily. And at this hour...for breakfast...**Lily**Oh...uhm...that doesn't mean...I didn't...WE didn't...I just got here--**Rachel**No worries. I'm just glad to see both Luke and so happy.
> And Karen too. She adores you.**Lily**Right back at her. She's the coolest kid!**Rachel**Well, let me get the cool kid out of here so you guys can have some alone time.**Lily**We're NOT--**Rachel**Karen! We're leaving!**Karen**Okay! Love you, Dad! Bye, Lily! Ma soo kak!**Luke**What now, neighbor?

#### Talk To Luke

> [Outside Luke's Residence]**Lily**Thanks for breakfast...it was really...cozy.**Luke**Yeah...let's do it again some time...**Lily**...**Luke**Ahem. Do you need help in the garden today?**Lily**Ugh. You'd help me most if you got that car fixed...
> It's time to get my mother on the road and off my nerves.**Luke**Haha, I see...No worries, I'm on it!**Roxy**Borfborf!**Lily**Of course, girl! You can come to my garden therapy session!
> See you later, Luke![In the fountain garden]**Lily**Whatcha say, Rox? Some classic weeding to clear the head?**Roxy**Boworf!

#### Clear Fountain

> [In the fountain garden]**Lily**What a LOVELY morning, Roxy! Never been happier to tackle some weeds...
> Weedless bliss! And what a GORGEOUS fountain!**Roxy**Borf! Borfborf!**Lily**I KNOW I might lose all this, Rox. But...the sun's out...and the birds are singing...And Luke...Luke--[Regina and Philip walk up to Lily]**Regina**Hey, lady! Look who asked to tag along today!**Lily**Philip! Lovely to see you!**Philip**Ah. The old fountain. Arthur and I used to play pirates here when we were boys...**Regina**Grandpa wanted to have a chat with you, Lils. I'm off to see to the horses anyway...See y'all later![Regina walks off]

#### Repair Stairs

> [In the fountain garden]**Lily**So, what did these stairs look like back in the day?**Philip**Oh...uhm...they were kind of...I think...a little--ah, I don't remember now.**Lily**That's okay. I'm sure I can come up with something you'll like.

*Player chooses between 3 options*

> **Philip**Beautiful, Lily! Five shiny stars!
> And a hundred more for standing up to Leonard!
> I'm proud of you, Lily. That's what I've come here to tell you.**Lily**I don't know...I'm slowly coming to accept that I might lose the estate...
> But I'm definitely NOT proud of ruining everything.**Philip**Lily, you have shown loyalty, integrity, and kindness. You're a good person.
> No one can take THAT away from you.**Lily**Thank you, Philip.

#### Repair Fountain

> [In the fountain garden]**Lily**Lemme get the fountain fixed before we chat some more.

*Player chooses between three options*

> **Philip**Ah. Perfection. You're taking me back to my childhood, Lily!**Lily**Speaking of...do you remember this eye symbol from back then?**Philip**I do. But I never knew what it meant.
> There are more of them around. I remember one on the big clock tower...
> We weren't allowed to climb it, too dangerous...Of course we did it anyway...**Lily**Interesting...And where would I find that clock tower?**Philip**A clock tower? That sounds fascinating!!

#### Plant Flowerbeds

> [In the fountain garden]**Philip**Ooooh, these flowerbeds got trampled more than once in our pirate adventures...**Lily**Haha. Young Philip and Arthur playing Blackbeard and Jack Sparrow...**Philip**Sparrow? In my days, a proper pirate would carry a PARROT...**Lily**Uhm, no...Jack Sparrow is a...Ah, never mind. I'll get to work.

*Player chooses between three options*

> **Philip**Gorgeous flowers! Guess these won't get trampled in a wooden sword fight...**Lily**Uhm...speaking of fights...
> We...we ARE gonna lose that trial...right?**Philip**Ah, Lily...I still believe we have a chance. Don't you lose HOPE!**Lily**I don't know...Sam said--**Philip**Mr. Amari is a stickler and a pessimist. By the way: If he calls--I am NOT here!**Lily**Why are you avoiding him?**Philip**Avoiding whom?

Transition Dialogue

> [In the fountain garden]**Philip**And now, if you'll excuse me. It's time for my late morning nap.[Philip sits on the stairs and takes a nap]**Lily**But...I still have so many--
> ...questions.
> Guess it's just you and me against the weeds now, Roxy.**Roxy**Boworf!

#### Replace Flowerpots

> **Lily**All right, down to work! Flowerpotting's next!

*Player chooses between 3 options.*

> **Lily**Pottilicious--hahaha, that sounds kinda gross...
> *\*buzz buzz\**[Lily answers the phone]**Samir**Hi, Lily! How are you holding up?**Lily**I'm fine, Sam. Back to gardening--my personal act of resistance!
> The better the estate looks, the bigger the public outcry when Don Ricci bulldozes it!**Samir**Ahm...all right...
> Lily, have you heard from Philip? I've been trying to get ahold of him...to no avail.**Lily**Actually...he's napping right next to me. He told me not to tell YOU, though.**Samir**\*sigh\* Frankly, I am worried. Philip was a great lawyer in his day. But he hasn't done this in a while.
> I strongly recommend hiring another attorney.**Lily**Will that change the outcome of the trial?**Samir**Uhm. To be honest--I don't think so.**Lily**I'll stick with Philip then. Fighting Leonard is as important to him as it is to me...**Samir**I understand. I'll be in touch soon. Bye, Lily.
> \*click\*[The call ends]

#### Clear Weeds

> [In the fountain garden]**Lily**I really should teach you how to garden, Roxy.**Roxy**Arf.**Lily**I mean--other dogs rescue people from avalanches! Why not do some weeding for your chow?**Roxy**Mmmrf.[Lily starts trimming trees]**Lily**Looking great! Thanks, my furry apprentice!**Roxy**Borfborfborf!**Lily**Sure you can have a career in gardening!
> You're talented, committed...and super loyal.
> I'd hire you right away.**Roxy**Boowoof.**Lily**Yes, you can gimme a paw with this basin right now!

#### Clear Lower Fountain

> [In the fountain garden]**Lily**Clearing weeds is an everyday task in our line of work, Rox. You up for it?**Roxy**Arfarf![Lily clears the lower fountain]**Lily**Fountastic! You're a natural, Roxy!
> Huh? What does that say? AQUA?
> Stating the obvious there...
> I'm sure Mom would prefer if it said CHAMPAGNE...
> You're good with AQUA, though. Right, girl?**Roxy**Borfborf!**Lily**Me? Ooooh, I'd have it say STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE!

Transition Dialogue

> [In the fountain garden Regina and Whitney walk towards Lily]**Regina**Hey, Lils! Look who found me at the stables!
> Whitney's got some news on that dead drop you told me about last night!**Lily**Oooh, tell us, Whit! What happened?

#### Talk To Whitney

> [In the fountain garden]**Lily**So, how'd it go yesterday??**Whitney**Well, I went to the Hotel Superior and I FOUND the dead drop!
> It was well-hidden, but I detected it. And I posted the letter.**Lily**That's so exciting! Do you think someone will find it?**Whitney**I don't know. The dead drop looked rather abandoned. I had to remove quite a few cobwebs.
> What I DO know is, that I was being followed the whole time.
> I even caught them on my infrared camera!

> **Lily**I don't know, Whit...That might just be a paserby...**Regina**Yeah. Why would anyone care about you walking in and out of a hotel?**Whitney**I don't know. But I'm gonna find out.**Lily**Right...For now, would you ladies give me a hand with some of the heavy stuff around here?

#### Replace Sculpture

> [In the fountain garden]**Lily**You girls ready for some heavy lifting?

*Player chooses between 3 options*

> **Lily**Truly statuesque!**Regina**So...I heard the whole story last night--still don't get why this order would wanna help...?**Whitney**Well...The name LaRosa might still carry some weight in those circles.
> IF Arthur's grandfather, Giovanni, really was a member...**Lily**...and IF the order still exists and fights corruption today...**Whitney**...and IF they still use that dead drop and find the letter...**Lily**...THEN the current members might use their influence to defend his heritage?**Regina**That's a lot of "ifs". Excuse me if I don't hold my breath...
> And who's that dude Giovanni again?

#### Repair Stairs

> [In the fountain garden]**Regina**How'd you like your stairs done, lady?**Lily**I trust you, Regina. Surprise me!

*Player chooses between options*

> **Lily**All hail the queen of the steps!**Regina**Thank you, my loyal subjects...But before we continue the worshipping...
> Tell me something more about that guy Giovanni.**Whitney**Well, he was Arthur LaRosa's grandfather. Immigrated from Italy in the late 1800s.**Lily**I didn't know that.**Whitney**Yeah. I did some more digging after I posted the letter last night.
> It seems he passed away rather suddenly. Couldn't find out how and why, though.**Lily**Maybe Philip would know.**Regina**Yeah...It's not really important...Let's not wake him quite yet.

#### Repair Lower Fountain

> [In the fountain garden]**Lily**Let's finish the fountain. I'd love to get some water running by the end of the day...

*Player chooses between 3 options*

> **Lily**Aqualicious!**Regina**Why DOES it say AQUA? Kinda redundant...**Lily**I was wondering the same thing...
> There's Latin on the monument--maybe this has to do with the order as well?**Regina**Why would the order care about the water in some old fountain?**Whitney**Sometimes things don't make sense because we're not seeing the whole picture...
> Maybe there are more pieces to the puzzle in other parts of the estate.**Lily**Philip mentioned an old clock tower with the eye symbol...He might know more.**Regina**Let's not wake him...Or he'll be grumpy for the rest of the day...

Transition Dialogue

> [In the fountain garden]**Lily***\*buzz buzz\****Lily**Huh. Pocket buzzing!
> It's an unknown number...Let's see...**Regina**Who could that be?

#### Answer Phone

> [In the fountain garden Lily answers the phone]**Lily**Uhm...Hello?**Mr. Lawrence**Miss Roberts? My name is Lawrence. I am calling on behalf of the Order of the Ascending Eye...**Lily**Huh??**Mr. Lawrence**We received your inquiry and are willing to help--if certain conditions are met.**Lily**Wha...??**Mr. Lawrence**Would you be available for a consultation tomorrow at noon?**Lily**Uhm...I...Sure...**Mr. Lawrence**Good. I will be there.
> \*click\*[The call ends]**Whitney**What was THAT all about?**Regina**Lily--you're white as a sheet!**Lily**I think I need to sit down...

#### Discuss Phone Call

> [In the fountain garden]**Regina**Lily, who WAS that on the phone??**Lily**Uhm...that was...the Order of the Ascending Eye...**Regina**You're joking!**Lily**No...He said his name was Lawrence and he was a representative of the order.
> He wants to meet tomorrow...to see if I fulfill some...conditions.**Whitney**What conditions??**Lily**I don't know. But if I pass, they're willing to help!**Regina**Sounds fishy to me.**Whitney**Yeah...me too. The dead drop was clearly out of use. And whoever is following me--**Lily**REALLY?? Finally, there's a glimmer of hope--and you guys stomp on it??
> I'll meet with Mr. Lawrence tomorrow, with or without you. And now--back to work!

Transition Dialogue

> [In the fountain garden]**Philip**\*yawn\* Wonderful nap! I dreamed I sailed the high seas with a fierce pirate lady by my side...**Regina**Did she like your wooden leg, your eyepatch and your hook?**Philip**She loved them! ARRR!!

#### Replace Flowerpots

> [In the fountain garden Philip is sitting on the lower fountain]**Regina**So, what do we make of this?**Lily**I'm thinking new flowerpots...or maybe little sculptures?**Regina**Uhm, I mean concerning that dude on the phone...**Lily**Oh, I need a moment. Flowerpots first.

*Player chooses between three options*

> **Lily**Okay. Beautiful decorations, deep breath--I'm ready.**Regina**Right...Well, I'm just wondering who that Lawrence guy is? And what he wants...**Whitney**He can't be with the order and ready to help--that's just too good to be true.**Lily**I don't get it. What's wrong with hoping for the best?**Whitney**It's not realistic. Or logical.**Lily**Logic schmogic. I'm an optimist. And I say: let's see what happens.
> After all, things can't get much worse!**Whitney**Weeell...Let's be prepared in case they do...

#### Repair Wall

> [In the fountain garden]**Lily**Can't believe, this part of the garden is nearly done! Just a few more repairs...

*Player chooses between 3 options*

> **Lily**Solid! AND pretty!!**Philip**So, what's all that chatter about the eyes of some secret order?**Regina**It's called the Order of the Ascending Eye, Grandpa. Apparently it was a real thing.**Lily**IS!!
> Philip, I was actually hoping you might know something about this.
> Giovanni LaRosa and Leonard Ricci's father were members back in the day.**Philip**Sorry, Lily. I have never even heard of this order.**Regina**Maybe you just...don't remember, Grandpa? This was a VERY long time ago...**Philip**Excuse me! I'm sharp as a tack! I still remember YOU in diapers, young lady!

#### Change Plants

> [In the fountain garden Philip is sitting on the lower fountain]**Whitney**Where and when does this Lawrence guy want to meet you tomorrow?**Lily**He said he'll be here at noon.**Whitney**Here? I guess that means the mansion? Since that's where Giovanni lived...?**Lily**I...I don't know. He didn't say.**Regina**Fishy...very fishy...**Whitney**Well, I'll fetch some gear so we're prepared when he gets here...**Lily**Not too sure what that means...but okay...
> Could you help us with the plants down there before you leave?**Whitney**Sure. I'll stay till we're done here.

*Player chooses between 3 options*

> **Lily**Ah, that looks so much better. Not to say...planttastic!
> Hmm. That's a bridge, right? Maybe it leads to the clocktower Philip was talking about...
> Let's check it out first thing tomorrow...

#### Repair Edges

> [In the fountain garden Philip is sitting on the lower stairs]**Regina**Some proper edges will finish this up nicely...

*Player chooses between 3 options*

> **Lily**Beautiful work. What do you think, Mr. Jones?**Whitney**Mr. Jones!! Is there anything you can tell us about Giovanni LaRosa?[Philip gets up]**Philip**Sorry, Miss Wells. Giovanni died before I was born. But my mother always spoke highly of him.**Whitney**Your mother was the LaRosa's housekeeper, right?**Philip**She was indeed. Come to think of it--she once told me never to mention Giovanni's death.**Whitney**Why would she say that??**Philip**It was a long time ago...Uhm...something about a criminal investigation...I don't remember now.**Whitney**Criminal investigation? Now THAT is something I can work with! Thank you, Mr. Jones!**Philip**You're more than welcome, dear.**Whitney**That biography is gonna be one HUGE book...

Transition Dialogue

> [In the fountain garden Luke enters]**Luke**Hey, Lils! What are you up to here all by your lonesome?**Lily**Oh, hey Luke. I wanted to fill the fountain with water...but the faucet is clogged.**Luke**Ah. Lemme have a look at that!
> Seems like...there's something stuck...--whoops! That should take care of it...[Luke unclogs the faucet]**Lily**Great, thanks!
> Well...uhm...how did your day go?**Luke**Made good progress on the Silverflame.
> All that baby needs now is a new coat of paint--and it's ready to hit the road!**Lily**Oh, that's wonderful!**Luke**Wanna fill that fountain up before we call it a day?**Lily**Sure. Let's do it together.
> DO the fountain...fill the water...the fountain...with water--you know what I mean...
