Chapter 53 - Boyer Trip

Angle on Boyer Investiagtions, in the middle of a thunderstorm. A subtitle appears reading: “fourteen years ago”

Cut inside to see Laura Boyer sleeping with a man with brown hair. This of course, is Mr. Harold Boyer, Lily’s father

He jolts awake

Harold

“Whoa... hon, do you hear that?”

Laura

“Go back to sleep, it must be three in the morning”

Harold

“I think it’s crying?”

Laura

“It’s probably Lillian”

Harold

“Lily! I’ll go comfort her”

He gets out of bed, walks down the hall, and enters her bedroom. Sure enough, Lily is crying in bed, she’s much younger, five years old

Harold

“Lily, are you okay?”

Lily

“Uh, \*sniff\* I think so... it’s the storm...”

Harold

“Aw, you know I had the same thing when I was a kid”

Lily

“Really?”

Harold

“Yeah, every time a thunderstorm would start, I’d duck under the covers... but, you aren’t doing that! So that’s something”

Lily

“But I’m scared”

Harold

“Well of course you are, but you’re trying to face it aren’t you?”

Lily

“Yeah...”

Harold

“There it is, you’re going to grow up to be a fantastic woman one day, and I can’t wait to see it!”

Lily smiles

Harold

“Now, let’s get you back to sleep”

He sings a soft lullaby, that quickly puts her to sleep

Intro plays

Angle on Randoms Tower, Lily, P-Sauce Tim, Alex and Sally are sunbathing outside

Alex

“This is perfection”

Tim

“We should do this all the time”

Lily

“Right?”

She hears a musical horn honk, and a big truck pulls up

Lily

“What the?”

She glances up to see Laura Boyer

Lily

“Mom!”

Sally

“Yeah?”

Lily

“The biological one!”

Sally

“The sucky one?”

Lily

“Uh... yeah!”

Laura

“How, er, quaint... Lily, you yourself said that it could take years for our bond to heal-“

Lily

“Oh no...”

Laura

“So I’ve taken the Liberty-“

Lily

“Can we not?”

Laura

“Of planning a weekend roadtrip across Porta State!”

Lily

“NO! Look mom, I appreciate the effort, but I’m not really ready to attempt healing our bond. You messed up lady!”

Laura

“Uh, maybe you could consider it repayment? For the whole... rescue thing?”

Lily

“MMMMMMM”

P-Sauce

“She’s not going! We don’t trust you with her!”

Lily turns pink

Laura

“Wait, who is this?”

Lily

“Wait a minute... HOLY GASP!”

Alex

“Did she just literally say gasp?”

Lily

“I’ll go-“

Laura

“Ah, marvelous!”

Lily

“On one condition”

Laura sputters quickly, and stands

Laura

“Continue...”

Lily

“They’re coming”

She indicates the Silvas and P-Sauce

Laura

“Wait what?! No!”

Lily

“Then I’m not going! Let’s go inside guys!”

Laura

“Wait, wait! I’ll... it’s... fine they can come”

Lily smirks

Lily

“Pack your things, we’re going on a less important road trip!”

Alex

“I never unpacked, I’m good”

Tim

“Yeah me neither”

Sally

“Nope”

P-Sauce

“I’m so jealous”

Lily

“Yup”

Fade into a flashback, Lily and Harold are sitting on the couch, watching wrestling. Lily is about ten now

Lily

“Yeah! Punch him!”

Harold

“They actually aren’t allowed to do that”

Lily

“What? There should be a sport all about punching!”

Harold chuckles, but it fades into a cough subtly

Harold

“That’s boxing! I also prefer it, let’s change the channel!”

Cut. Angle on Laura’s truck, leaving Porta City

Laura

“Alrighty we’ll be spending that first night at a cool hotel!”

Lily

“Mmm”

Laura

“Anyway, you’ll love it”

P-Sauce (muffled)

“Excuse me, miss Boyer”

Laura

“What?”

P-Sauce

“Are you sure we couldn’t have got in here in a better way?”

Laura

“You’re fine”

We cut back to reveal that P-Sauce, Sally, Tim, and Alex are crammed in the back

Alex

“This sucks!”

Tim

“For reals!”

Lily

“Why didn’t you just let them follow us mom?”

Laura

“Because I didn’t think of it!”

Sally

“I literally suggested it!”

Laura

“Yeah, I didn’t think of it, you did”

Sally

“Mmmmmm”

P-Sauce

“She’s right! You did!”

Tim

“Yeah!”

Alex

“They got ya there ma!”

Sally

“I hate all of you right now...”

Tim

“Hey Laura, it’s stuffy! Can I breathe out the window?”

Laura

“I guess”

P-Sauce

“Wait, but I’m also stuffy! But I’m also in the middle, so I don’t have a window available!”

Laura

“Oh look!”

She pulls over at a really cruddy hotel, sign reading “Oh-So Happy Campers”

Laura

“We’re here! It’s not great, but... uh... it’ll do!”

Sally

“This looks fine Laura”

Laura (nervously)

“Yeah, I know”

Sally

“Laura!”

Laura

“It might be gross inside...”

Sally

“LAURA! It’ll be fine!”

Laura sighs

Laura

“It’s fine, I’ll be fine... maybe...”

Alex

“Gee Laura, are you rich?”

Laura

“Not anymore...”

Alex chuckles

Alex

“Good”

They enter, the receptionist looks at them

Receptionist

“Oh hey, I’m Jack. So, what can I do for you?”

Laura

“Uh, room for five?”

P-Sauce

“Six, I’m your daughter’s boyfriend”

Lily turns scarlet

Lily

“Did you just say that? I never thought you’d say that! I’M HIS GIRLFRIEND WOOOOO-“

Laura

“Six...”

Receptionist

“We have a room with two beds and a fold out couch available, will that work?”

Laura

“That’ll be fine”

Sally

“Thanks”

Receptionist

“Hey, have a nice day guys!”

Tim

“I love this guy!”

Fade back to another flashback. Lily is sneaking through the halls, around fourteen. Very near the age we met her as. She overhears voices in the kitchen, and listens at the door.

We cut inside, seeing Harold and Laura talking

Harold

“I understand that you’re worried, but I’m absolutely fine!”

Laura

“You’ve been coughing a lot recently... are you sure-“

Harold

“Laura, it’s allergy season! I’ll be fine, you want me to get you something to drink?”

Laura

“No Harold, listen to me! I’m worried about Lillian”

Harold

“My dearest, please call her Lily. She prefers it, and so do I frankly”

Laura

“Fine, Lily! I’m worried about how she’d take it if you- well, y’know-“

Harold

“Died?”

They stay quiet

Laura tears up

Laura

“Yes...”

Harold

“Laura... if that happens, Lily is strong. She’d manage better than most, I trust her, you have to as well”

Cut up to the room. The Silvas are on one bed, the Boyers on the other, while P-Sauce is parked on the couch, playing on his phone

Tim

“This is nice, I love hotels! It’s like a house, but smaller!”

Alex

“Yeah, that’s the point...”

Lily

“Yep”

Laura

“So, where-“

Lily (forced)

“Hiking, that is what we should do tomorrow. Okay, goodnight!”

Lily lies down

Laura

“Oh... alright then... I’m going to go outside, uh, be good”

Laura gets up and exits quickly

Sally

“What is she-“

Sally exits too

Lily

“UUUUUUGH!”

Tim

“Whoa”

Alex

“I’ve never heard you groan before”

Lily

“She is so desperate for attention! Gah! Yet she refuses to apologize for nearly blowing me up, and trying to keep us separated! She makes me so angry!”

Tim

“Yeah...”

Alex

“No it sucks...”

P-Sauce

“I dunno...”

Lily glares at him

P-Sauce

“According to you, she saved your life from a flaming inferno... maybe she’s legitimately wants to make up for what she did, and isn’t mentioning it because she doesn’t wanna remind you!”

Lily

“But I want her to! I need closure...”

P-Sauce

“Then maybe you’re the one who needs to initiate the conversation”

Lily

“Are you saying I’m I’m the wrong? SHE NEARLY KILLED ME!”

P-Sauce

“No, dude, I’m not saying that! I’m just saying, maybe you need to open up a bit too. Laura’s really trying...”

P-Sauce lies down, and Lily lies down... and just stays awake, she can’t sleep. She’s angry, and thinking...

Cut outside, Laura is sitting near the pool. Sally walks out

Sally

“You know you aren’t helping right?”

Laura

“What?”

Sally

“By not mentioning what you did? You’re just gonna end up pushing her away more”

Laura

“Mmm...”

Sally

“Hey, I get it. We’re not too different... we’re both parents who weren’t able to help as much as we’d like, and it’s both like own faults... but trust me, if you try, I’m sure she’ll come around...”

Laura

“And move back in with me?”

Sally

“Oh heck no, that’s too fast dude”

Laura

“Mmm”

Sally

“She’s actually nearing the age where she’s gonna go her own way”

Laura

“N-NO!”

Sally

“Yep, you messed up dude”

Laura

“But, her last years!”

Sally

“Were spent with my family, why? Because we accepted her for who she was, and loved her! You’re daughter’s a good person, just a bit misguided. But that’s ultimately your fault... so... yeah...”

Sally walks off

Sally

“Just, stop thinking for only yourself”

Laura looks into the pool sadly, as we fade to another flashback.

We’re in a hospital... Lily (now 16) enters a nursing room... where her father, Harold Boyer, lies in bed, peacefully

Harold

“Lil- \*cough\* Lily! Hello my dear!”

Lily

“Dad... I heard that... you’re-“

Harold

“Lily... look, I need  you to listen to me, okay?”

Lily nods, she looks sick, with tears in her eyes, and she’s also fiddling with her hair

Harold

“I’m so proud of you, and... well, I think you’ll be fine... take care of your mom for me okay? And, take care of yourself...”

Lily nod again, vigorously

Harold

“Just-“

Harold coughs violently, Lily watches, horrified

Harold looks down

Harold

“Death is the next big adventure... right? You should leave, I- I don’t want you to see it...”

Lily turns to leave, but freezes

Lily

“Bye dad... I love you...”

Harold

“Lily, \*chuckles\* you’re going to grow up to be a fantastic woman...”

She exits, we fade into the funeral... Lily is wearing black, everyone is... she looks over, a man in a tuxedo is beckoning her over

She walks over, the man leans over

Tuxedo guy

“Have you prepared your speech?”

Lily

“Yeah...”

Tuxedo guy

“Well... go on...”

She gets on the stage, and in tears, she sings the lullaby from the beginning. Then she runs off stage... most likely looking for somewhere to cry...

The main point I want to emphasize here, is that Lily has suffered more trauma and depression than Tim and Alex ever did... and... that’s also the reason no paranormal activity appears in this episode, it’s all about how reality is sometimes the harshest of evils.

HARD CUT, the group has arrived at their hiking trail

Laura

“Heard the views up here are nice, if you like nature and stuff...”

Lily

“Which I do!”

Laura

“Mmm”

Tim

“Yeah! Fresh air time!”

Alex

“Uh, gimme a minute”

Alex walks over to the coffee house

Tim

“Alex, what are you-“

Alex

“What do you mean? (Ordering) yeah, I’ll have an iced tea”

Tim

“ALEX!”

Alex

“No, you guys are fine, I’ll catch up... except not really, I’ll be fine!”

Sally

“Okay! Dang tea sounds good...”

Alex (distance)

“It’s a coffee house I just have good taste!”

Sally

“Oh coffee sounds better!”

Sally walks over to Alex

Sally

“Tim, you can go with them if you want”

Tim (offended)

“Well I do!”

Sally

“Okay have fun sweetie!”

Tim (still offended)

“Oh I will!”

P-Sauce

“Yeah, me and my broseph here are gonna support Lily!”

Tim

“Yeah! (They start walking) Y’know I used to have a crush on her”

P-Sauce

“Oh really? I knew Alex did, but you too? Why’d ya stop?”

Tim

“The sorcerer incident”

P-Sauce

“Cool”

Hiking Montage, in which Laura tries to get Lily’s attention by showing her nature and stuff, only for Lily to be way more interested into whatever Tim and P-Sauce are up to

Finally, they near the end of the trail

Lily

“We’re almost there! Woo!”

P-Sauce

“It’s gonna look real great! I would say it would be a good spot for our first kiss, but... given present company”

Laura

“Mmm”

Tim

“I can leave”

P-Sauce

“No bro, I’m not, you’re cool bro”

Tim

“Oh, if you mean Alex, he’s at the coffee house with mom”

P-Sauce

“Yeah... but... her?”

Tim glances at Laura

Tim

“Oh, she’s still here?”

Laura

“UGH! I get it, I messed up Lily! I’m sorry!”

Lily

“Whoa, really?”

Laura

“I nearly killed you, and then even after that somehow managed to only make the situation worse, and I missed the last years you’d spend at home, and now I’m-“

Lily

“Whoa, I’m not leaving home anytime soon!”

Laura

“Really?”

Lily

“Yeah! I’m turning Randoms INC into a career”

Laura deflates

Laura

“Oh... um...”

Lily

“Yeah...”

Laura

“Oh...”

Lily

“But, ugh, y’know, I forgive you and stuff... I can tell your apology is genuine, so... I’ll put you back in my contacts list, and you can visit me anytime...”

Laura

“That’s... that’s great actually!”

Laura opens up for a hug, and Lily stiffly accepts

Pan over, Tim is sobbing

Tim

“Oh man, they coming out! THIS IS THE ROAD TO HEALING! IT’S BEAUTIFUL! These are real tears folks! GAH HEART! YOU SON OF A OSTRICH!”

Laura

“Now then, P-Sauce, go ahead and kiss Lily, you two seem great”

P-Sauce

“Nice! Don’t mind if I do!”

Lily

“Uuuuuu-“

She faints... and falls off the cliff

Tim

“HOLY-“

The end
