Ep.#01 - Eternal... What?
Written by: CS-Masyet

Character Info
Casey - A girl who pretends to be a guy so she can babysit Kylee. But will Trevor be fooled? Is 15 years old.
Trevor - A very independent boy who needed a job and babysitting Kylee was his only option. Is 15 years old.
Kylee - The baby Casey and Trevor have to babysit. Is 1 year old.

It is believed that there is a child that has the power to grant someone eternal life. However, this child is indistinguishable from other children, so no one has found it yet. One day, a boy finds this baby, but by total accident...

Trevor: Walks to someone's house. So this is the place, huh? Goes inside.
Woman: Why, hello there! Are you the one that is going to babysit the baby?
Trevor: Yeah, that's right. I'm Trevor.
Woman: Picks up the baby from her playpen. This is the baby. Her name is Kylee. Isn't she just adorable?
Trevor: She doesn't resemble you at all. Isn't she yours?
Woman: She's mine, but not by blood. I adopted her after her parents died. That was only two weeks ago, too. Unfortunate, really...
Trevor: Uh, I see...

RING! RING! The phone rings.

Woman: Puts the phone on speaker (because she's holding the baby). Hello?
?: Yes, hello? Are you still looking for someone to babysit?
Woman: I'm sorry, there's already someone here...
Trevor: I don't mind splitting the pay with you, as long as you're not a girl. I don't want some girl bossing me about this stuff...
?: Um... n-no, I'm not a girl... I'm Casey, a guy.
Woman: Alright, get here as quick as you can!
Casey: Okay, bye!
Woman: Puts Kylee back in the playpen. Alright, the stuff for the baby is all in that bag. You'll have to take care of her by yourself until Casey arrives. Is that okay with you?
Trevor: I planned on doing this by myself before, remember?
Woman: Oh, right! Got to go now; see you in six hours! Leaves.
Trevor: Jeez, that lady talks too much...
Kylee: Looks at Trevor. Da...?
Trevor: Huh? What is it?

The doorbell rings.

Trevor: Who could that be... Opens the door.
Casey: I'm here! It's me, Casey!
Trevor: You sure got here fast...
Casey: I live close by.
Trevor: Oh, I see...
Casey: ...
Trevor: ... Fifteen seconds later... Aren't you going to come in?
Casey: I don't enter someone's house unless I'm invited inside.
Trevor: But this isn't my hou-... aw, whatever! You are welcome in this house. Come on in.
Casey: Thank you! Goes inside.
Trevor: (What a weirdo...)
Casey: Is this the baby? Picks her up. What's her name?
Trevor: Kylee.
Casey: She's so cute! *giggle* Hugs Kylee.
Trevor: You act pretty weird for a guy...
Casey: W-whatever do you mean?
Trevor: And why are you wearing a sweatshirt?
Casey: B-because I'm cold...
Trevor: It's the middle of summer. It's over 80 degrees!
Casey: Uh...
Kylee: Hungwy...
Casey: I think she's hungry.
Trevor: No kidding, Dr. Scientist. Opens the bag and takes a bottle out of it. There's barely any milk left...
Casey: Takes the bottle from Trevor. Oh no, what if she gets hungry again?
Kylee: Hungwy...
Trevor: I'll go to the store and buy some more. Take care of her while I'm gone...
Casey: Alright.
Trevor: Leaves.
Casey: That was close, he almost found out I was a girl... Puts Kylee down and takes off her sweatshirt. Jeez, it is over 80 degrees! Probably around the 90's...
Kylee: Hungwy...
Casey: Oh, I'm sorry! Gives the bottle to Kylee.
Kylee: Drinks the milk from the bottle.
Casey: There. *sigh* Looking at you drink that is making me thirsty... Goes to the kitchen and takes some water from the refrigerator. I hope they don't mind if I have some... Goes back to the living room and drinks some water. Then she lies down on the sofa. I wonder when Trevor's gonna come ba-
Trevor: Comes back. I'm back...
Casey: *gasp* (OH NO!!!)
Trevor: ...I knew it... idiot...
Casey: ...
Trevor: Why the heck were you pretending to be a guy for? Are you stupid or something?
Casey: Well... You said you didn't want to work with a girl... And I really wanted this job, so...
Trevor: Why don't you just babysit another baby? I'm sure there are other people who might need your help.
Casey: But I want to babysit this baby!
Trevor: Why? What's so special about this one?
Casey: *sigh* I guess I might as well tell you...
Trevor: Huh?
Casey: Sit down; it might take a while to explain...
Trevor: Fine... Sits down on the sofa next to the baby.
Casey: Have you ever heard of the Eternal Child?
Trevor: Eternal... what?
Casey: It's a baby that has the power to grant someone eternal life.
Trevor: What?!? You told you that nonsense?
Casey: It's true! They say this baby hasn't aged in over 20 years!
Trevor: That still doesn't explain... Wait, why do you want to stop aging? You look like the type of person who'd want to get bigger...
Casey: Glares at Trevor. I'll forget you just said that... Anyway, I'm not trying to gain eternal life...
Trevor: Then what do you need the baby for? (She is so confusing...)
Casey: Because the people who last took care of her were my sister and her husband...
Trevor: So this baby is your niece?
Casey: No; my sister adopted it. She told me to take care of it if something were to happen to her...
Trevor: I see... Why didn't you just tell me that instead of making up a story about Kylee controlling someone's age?
Casey: But it's true!
Trevor: Yeah, sure it is. You're probably just suffering from heat stroke from wearing a sweatshirt when it's 90 degrees.
Casey: You said it was 80 degrees.
Trevor: Technically, I said over 80 degrees.
Casey: ...
Trevor: Just get some rest. I'll take care of the baby myself.
Casey: (I had a feeling he wouldn't believe me...) *sigh* (Oh well...)
