Ep.#02: Life as a Human
Written by: CS-Masyet
Tide: In his bed, sleeping. He wakes up from a knock on his window. Huh? What's that? Opens the window.
Brooke: Comes out of the window. Good morning!
Tide: Brooke?!? Eyah! Covers his eyes.
Brooke: What's wrong?
Tide: Why aren't you wearing any clothes?
Brooke: Clothes? What's that?
Tide: Takes clothes from his dresser and gives them to her while averting his eyes. Here, put these on...
Brooke: Huh? Looks at Tide. Oh, oaky! Puts them on.
Tide: Are you done?
Brooke: Yeah! Did I do it right?
Tide: Looks at Brooke. Yeah, basically. But I don't know if it suits you though...
Brooke: But I like these clothes! They're comfy!
Tide: My mom will probably have something better for you to wear. But how am I supposed to explain you to my parents?
Dad: Comes in. Tide, are you up? ...huh?
Tide: (Oh, darn it...)
Brooke: Tide, is that your dad?
Dad: Mind explaining?
Tide: Um... I took a walk near the lake last night and found her lying in the water, so I took her back here so she wouldn't catch a cold...
Dad: Oh, I see... But why is she wearing your clothes?
Brooke: I don't have clothes, so he gave me some!
Dad: What?!? You didn't any bad things to her, did you?
Tide: Of course not! Dad, could you ask mom for some clothes?
Dad: Alright. Leaves.
Tide: Brooke, can I ask you a question?
Brooke: Oaky, what?
Tide: How did you make yourself look... like that?
Brooke: Huh? Oh... This is the form I'm in when I need to walk around!
Tide: Don't tell me you walk up to people like that!
Brooke: No, I'm scared of people... Especially after what happened...
Tide: What happened? What do you mean?
Dad/Mom: Come in.
Dad: Got some clothes, Tide.
Mom: Aw, Tide finally has a girlfriend! What's her name?
Tide: It's Brooke. And she's not my girlfriend!
Brooke: W-what? *tearyeyed* Why not?
Tide: What do you mean "why not"? Do you know what that means?
Brooke: Yes, it means I love you! Hugs Tide.
Tide (confused/blushing): Uh...
Dad: ...?
Mom: Aw, you don't have to lie to us, Tide! I guess I'll have to make more food from now on! Brooke, do you like eggs?
Brooke: Eggs? Yes, I love eggs!
Mom: Alright, eggs coming right up! Leaves.
Dad: Even if she's your girlfriend Tide, you should still let her change by herself. Puts the clothes on Tide's bed and leaves.
Tide: She's not my girlfriend... And would you please let go of me?
Brooke: Lets go of Tide. *tearyeyed* But didn't yesterday mean anything to you? We even made the "Seal of Togetherness"!
Tide: What are you talking abo- oh! You're not talking about that kiss, are you? I thought that was just for letting me breathe underwater...
Brooke: Huh? All I have to do is touch you to let you breathe underwater, silly! *giggle*
Tide: Then why did you kiss me?
Brooke: I already told you, it was the "Seal of Togetherness"! You saved me, so that means you care about me. And when you care about someone, that means you love them!
Tide: What?!? No it doesn't! I didn't save you because I love you!
Brooke: Well, I still love you! Hugs Tide.
Tide: *sigh* Stop hugging me and get dressed already...
Brooke: Lets go of Tide. Oaky! Takes her shirt off.
Tide (blushing): Covers his eyes. Not in front of me! Leaves the room.
Brooke: Huh?
Tide: Jeez...
Brooke: Comes out of the room with a different outfit. How do I look?
Tide: Heh, it suits you, Brooke.
Brooke: Really? 'cause I really like it! Although I liked wearing your clothes more...
Tide: (I don't think I should ask why...)
Mom: Yelling from the kitchen. Food's ready!
Tide: Alright, coming! Let's go, Brooke.
Brooke: Oaky!
Tide/Brooke: Go to the kitchen. There are two plates of fried eggs on the table.
Brooke: Looks at the fried eggs. Huh?
Tide: Have a seat, Brooke. Sits in a chair.
Brooke: Sits in a chair. What are these?
Tide: Those are fried eggs, Brooke... Didn't you say you liked eggs?
Brooke: I've never seen eggs like these before...
Mom: Is Brooke from another region, Tide?
Tide: Uh, yeah... Whispers to Brooke. Hurry and think of a name of a region...
Brooke: I'm from... um... Australia!
Tide (confused): Huh? {Note: Australia doesn't exist in the CS World, the world they live in.}
Mom: Never heard of it. Is that a town in Scautry? Or Htrae?
Brooke: Yeah, Scautry...
Mom: All the way from Scautry? That's far! Do you have anywhere to stay, Brooke?
Brooke: No, not really...
Mom: Would you like to stay with us? I'm sure you'd want to stay here with your boyfriend.
Tide: I'm not her boyfriend! And I don't think she shou-...
Brooke: Oaky!
Mom: Great! You can stay in Tide's room!
Tide: Why my room? Don't we have a spare?
Mom: Why give her the spare when she can stay in her boyfriend's room?
Tide: Drops his face into his plate of eggs. ...
Mom: Tide, you have a fork...
Tide: Eats an egg and lifts his head up. I like eating my eggs like this...
Tide/Brooke: Finish their eggs and go to Tide's room.
Brooke: Hugs Tide. Yay, I get to stay with Tide! Heehee!
Tide: Pulls Brooke away from him. What about your home in the ocean? And don't you have a limit in that form?
Brooke: Huh? No. And my home will eventually disappear anyway... Because of the sucky thing...
Tide: You mean the giant machine?!? That thing won't suck away any more water! Not if I can help it!
Brooke: Really? Thank you so much, Tide! Hugs Tide again. I love you!
Tide: ...

Ep.#02 Alternate Scene
Tide: You done?
Brooke: Yeah. This is really comfy! No wonder people wear these all the time!
Tide: Looks back at Brooke. It doesn't really suit you though. Maybe my mom'll have something better for you... But how am I supposed to explain the situation?
Dad: Comes in the room. Tide, you awake?
Tide: (Uh oh...)
Dad: Who's this?
Brooke: Hello, I'm Brooke! Is that your dad, Tide?
Dad: Mind explaining what's going on?
Tide: Uh... I took a walk to the beach last night and found her lying on the shore, s-so I brought her here so she wouldn't catch a cold...
Dad: I see. Is that why she's wearing your clothes?
Brooke:

"Ep.#02 Alternate Scene" was a separate WordPad doc I had saved. I'm assuming these are "beta lines" that I changed later. No idea why I saved this, but I figured I'd add it to this one for preservation reasons.
