So this is going to be a bit different from the past two, and will be how I handle the two in one episode chapters. I'm going to do two episodes in one chapter, just because I don't feel like making like 50 chapters for each one.

Hope you enjoy these two in one chapters!

Episode 3: Cane Crazy

Gil: "Wow, Oona, look at all your cool stuff! What's this? Ah, I get it. Torture device."

Oona: "That's a toenail clipper."

Gil:" Oh, okay, okay, sure. Oh! How about this?" [holds up a bike pump] "What does this do? "

[pumps air into his mouth; muffled] "It's painful." [air hisses as it comes out] "Oh, and this." [He clicks a cat pen] Oh, I love this. This is amazing.

Oona: "You know what? You can keep it."

[bell clanging]

Nonny: "Guys! Chow time!"

Kids: "Time to eat! Time to eat!"

Nonny: "Hold on, you kids. Hold on."

Kids: "Time to eat!"

They all get passed a bowl of bugs and slime, which Oona isn't too happy with

Oona: "Ew. Uh, you know what? I think I'm gonna pass."

Nonny: "Why? Is my food not good enough for the princess?"

Oona: "Well, if I'm the princess, then you're the king of bad cooking. [chuckles]"

Gil: "Ohhh!"

Zooli: "Oh oh oh!"

Nonny: "Oh, yeah? Well, you... I…"

Oona: "What's the matter, Nonny? Frog in your throat?"

Zooli: "Ohhh!"

Gil: "Oh, she got you again!"

Nonny: "Oh, dang it! You know what? I'm gonna take a nap. I don't believe this. I feed you, I house you, and this is how you repay me? If you don't shape up soon, Oona, I'm throwin' you out!"

Oona: "Yeesh. What's his problem? [She grabs a cane and hunches over speaking like an old man] I'm Nonny, and I cook bad and have a temper problem!"

[laughing]

Gil: "That's so Nonny!"

Oona: "Eat your aphids, don't play with them. Elbows off the table!"

[both laughing]

Oona: "Sometimes I wonder why I even bother putting up with you at all!"

[She breaks the cane; Gil and Zooli gasp.]

Oona: "Oopsies. Guess I don't know my own strength, right, guys? You guys okay? What's the big deal? It's just one cane."

Gil: "That wasn't just any cane. It was Nonny's special cane, passed down from his father, all the way from his father."

Oona: "Oh! You guys gotta help me. He's gonna kick me out the second he finds out about this. I cannot go back to living in a cave!"

[A flashback begins with a thunderclap. Oona is curled up on the cave floor as dozens of bugs surround her. Water falls on her face.]

Oona: "Uhhh! The nights were the hardest."

Gil: "Don't worry, Oona. We'll do whatever it takes to help you."

Zooli: "Eh, count me out."

Gil: "Zooli!"

Zooli: "What? I hardly know her."

Oona: "Would you help me for one of these?" [pulls a candy bar out of her pocket]

Zooli: "[gasps] Candy from another world? Lady, you've got yourself a deal."

Oona: "Glad to hear it. Now, let's try to save my skin."

All: "Yeah!"

Oona: "Okay, maybe we can't fix it, but someone else can? Someone good with... wood?"

Gil: "Oona, you're a genius! We'll just take it to Leopold Loggle, the woodsmith. He loves

wood. Almost a little too much."

Loggle: "Uh-huh. Oh, oh, yes. Well, aren't you fascinating? Yes, you are."

Oona: "Can you fix it?"

Loggle: "As a matter of fact, I can... not."

Gil: "Huh. Can you make a new one?"

Loggle: "Absolutely... no way."

Zooli: "Do you have one we could buy?"

Loggle: "Of course I do... n't. I don't."

Oona: "Why do you keep doing that?"

Loggle: "Old smithing accident. You don't want to know."

Oona: "Uh, okay, so–"

Loggle: "Tripped on an anvil. Landed neck-first on a metal pipe. Pierced my voice box clean through!"

Zooli: "Blegh!"

Oona: "Dude, come on!"

Gil: "Cool."

Loggle: "Switched over to wood after that. Anyhow, I'm afraid I can't do much for you. That cane was made with wood from the incredibly rare, extremely dangerous Doom Tree!"

[all gasp]

Loggle: "Few have made it to the Doom Tree alive, fewer yet returned. It holds many secrets that mortals dare not–"

Oona: "Dude, it's a tree. Just tell us where it is."

Gil: "Yeah, Loggle, cut the chitchat!"

Zooli: "You're bald!"

Loggle: "Okay, okay. I got a map to the Doom Tree right here, but it'll cost ya."

Oona: "Click." [takes a picture with her phone; shows it to Loggle]

Loggle: "Or you could do that for free."

Oona: "Come on, guys. We gotta hurry. Nonny could wake up at any second!"

Both: "Right!"

Loggle: "Be careful, you kids. It's cursed, I tell ya. Cursed!"

Oona: "To the Doom Tree, everyone."

Zooli: "Whoo-hoo!"

Gil: "Yeah! Whoa, Loggle. We gotta talk about this, man. We're comin' back. We're gonna talk about this. All right, good-bye."

[beeping]

[tires screech]

[beeping continues]

[bird screeches]

Oona: [grunting] "Hold up. We're here. Now, that is an ugly tree."

Gil: "Just one of Mother Nature's horrible mistakes."

Zooli notices a frog skeleton on the ground.

Zooli: "[chuckles] Frogs died here."

Oona: "Look. That branch is perfect. [grunting]

Zooli: "You people and your legs."

Oona: "I have a tail, Zooli"

Zooli: "Still a leg to me!"

Oona: [grunting]

Gil: [spitting]

Oona: "Careful. The tree is cursed. Pfft!" [laughs]

Gil: [laughs]

Oona: Okay, seriously though, on three. One, two...

A loud screech is heard from the tree.

Oona: "Uh, did the tree just scream?"

[Doom Tree roars]

Gil: "Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

[grunts]

[roars]

[roaring]

Gil: "Oh, hey, it's maple."

Oona: "Run!"

[all screaming]

[shrieking]

Oona: "That thing is not a tree. It's some kind of grody bug!"

Gil: "A bug that wants to kill us!"

Zooli: "Less talky-talky, more runny-runny!"

[roaring]

Sprig: [grunting] Whoa! [grunts] Waaah!

[shrieking]

[groaning]

Bugs start to crawl on Oona's face.

Oona: [screaming]

[grunting, panting]

[shrieking]

Loggle: "[sighs] Well, Loggle, another day, another step closer to bankrupt- Eh?"

[Oona shouts]

[roaring]

Loggle: "What the- What's going on?"

Oona: "Don't ask questions!"

[all scream]

[Doom Tree roars]

[all screaming]

Oona: "What's it gonna take to get rid of this thing?" [grunts]

[shrieking]

Oona: [grunting]

[bell rings]

Oona: "Oh, this is nice." [grunts]

Leopold Loggle: "That took 20 years to carve."

[shrieks]

[puzzled shriek]

Zooli: "Yah! Yah yah yah yah yah! And that! And that! Hi-yah!"

Oona: [grunts] "Charge!"

Gil: "Charge!"

[squealing]

Gil: "I'm gonna sand your face!"

Zooli: "Phew."

Oona: "Termites! Why would a woodsmith have termites?"

Loggle: "I'm a complicated man!"

Oona: "Incoming!"

Oona throws the termites at the Doom Tree, and the insects eat all the wood on it.

[squeals]

[grunts]

Zooli: "Uh…"

Gil: "Cool."

Oona: "This world is messed up."

[whimpering]

Oona: "Up top!"

Gil: "We did it!"

Zooli: "That was awesome, you guys!"

Oona: "Now, let's get this cane back to Nonny."

Loggle: "Give me that!"

Oona: "Hey!"

Zooli: "What gives, Loggle?"

Loggle: "I'll tell you what gives. This doesn't even begin to cover the damages you've caused to my shop. You're gonna have to give me something else. Come on. Pony up."

Gil: "[sigh] Will this work?"

Gil hands Loggle Oona's pen.

Loggle: "What? What is this, uh…"

[clicking]

Loggle: "Oh. [clicking] Oh! I like this. You can go."

Gil: "Sorry, Oona. After all we worked for too."

Oona: "It's okay. We'd better head home. Nonny's probably already awake and furious."

Zooli: "Probably a bad time to bring this up, but I still get the candy, right?"

Nonny: "[yawns] Whoa, boy. I needed that. Hope nothing happened while I was asleep to make me mad again. Oh, no. What did you do?"

Sprig: "What's up with canes? Who even needs them these days, am I right? Ow."

[sighs]

Oona: "I'm really sorry, Nonny. I was goofing around, and I broke your favorite cane."

Nonny: "You what?"

Oona: "I know, I know. I'll show myself out."

Gil: "We'll come visit you, Oona. We promise."

Zooli: [crying] "And just when I was starting to like you!"

Oona: "Don't make this harder than it is."

[kids bawling]

Nonny: "What the- What's going on?"

Oona: "You're throwing me out. You know, like you said you would."

Nonny: "[sighs] Mmm. Oona, truth be told, I was never gonna throw you out. I was just talking tough so that you'd show me a little bit more respect."

Oona: "That's kinda messed up, man."

Nonny: "Heh heh heh. [inhales] Yeah. I probably was a little bit too harsh. But I only did it because you remind me of myself when I was your age. Rough around the edges. Now, put that bag down, young lady. You're not going anywhere."

Gil: "Whoo! Yeah! I like that."

Zooli: "Yeah! I wasn't worried."

Oona: "Thanks, Nonny. So you're not mad about the cane?"

Nonny: "Oh, I'm furious about the cane. You're on dish duty for a month!"

Oona: "Ugh. Yes, sir!"

Oona:" Now that that's settled, I wrote a long list of comebacks to get you back for this morning. [clears throat] "Hey, Oona, is that your hair, or is it a dandelion?" Ha. [sniffles] Uh- Oh. Are those long, lanky limbs, Oona, or are those, uh, twigs? Ah! [chuckles] Eh…"

Gil: [coughs]

Oona: "The moment has passed, hasn't it?"


Episode 4: Flood, Sweats and Tears

We start in the Plantar's backyard, where Oona and Gil are by a bunch of holes. Oona has a tennis racket in her hand.

Gil: "You ready?"

Oona: "You set 'em up, and I'll knock 'em down."

Gil: "Okay." (digs under the ground)

Oona: (waiting) "Come on. Come on!"

Gil: "Coming at ya." (He brings out a large fly. It comes towards Anne)

Oona: "Backhand!" (She swings the racket onto the fly, making it fly away)

Gil: (pops out from the ground) "Nice swing!"

Oona: "I was on varsity."

Gil: "I have no idea what that means."

(Both perform their own handshake, then laugh.)

Wally: (playing concertina) "A frog child and a monster from the woods getting along? So unnatural." (plays unusual note)

Oona: "Pssh! Of course we get along. We're Gil and Oona."

Gil: "Oona and Gil."

Oona and Gil: (pose with Gil standing off Oona's hip) "Oonil against the world!"

Wally: "Disgusting." (He keeps playing concertina and walks)

(Suddenly, Nonny screams from inside the house)

Oona: "Was that Nonny?"

Gil: "Sounds like he's in trouble. We're coming, Nonny!" (They run into the house, then into Oona's room) "Nonny! Nonny!"

Oona: Whoa! What happened in here?" (It's revealed that the whole room flooded.)

Gil: "Nonny? (Nonny pops out of the water.)"

Nonny: (screaming) "Stay back! Darned burrow bugs must have chewed the water pipes!"

Oona: "My room! My stuff!"

Nonny: (put Oona's bag on the stair) "Don't worry, Oona. I saved your stuff. Except your bed. And your blankets. And your pillow, pencils, T-shirts, hairbrush."

Oona: "Just how long till it's fixed?"

Nonny: "Well, gotta find the leak, then patch it up good."

Gil: "Oh, let me help!"

Nonny: "Oh, no, ya don't! This here's river water. No tellin' what creepy critters are swimmin' around." (A river lamprey reveals its eyes above water then swims again)

Oona: "Uh, so where am I gonna sleep?"

Nonny: "Well, the living room ain't no palace, but the couch is comfy."

Gil: "Uh, hello." (swings his tongue to Oona) "Oona can bunk with me in my room. How fun will that be?"

Oona: "Roommates? Heck yeah!" (they bump each other)

Nonny: "I don't know. Bein' friends is one thing, but roommates? Ya think ya know someone until they're in your space and you're in theirs, and ya can't stand how they whistle all the time, and they complain whenever ya clean your web crusties out." (yelling) "Yes, I have to do it in our room! It has the best lighting!" (back to normal) My point is- (He sees that Oona and Gil have already left) "And they're gone. Mark my words though. No good will come of this. No good at all." (sinks into the water)

(Gil opens the door to his room)

Gil: "Here we have it."

Oona: "Whoa. (seeing Gil patting her pillow) Awesome digs, Gil."

Gil: "Thanks. I'll give you the grand tour. Let's start with the crown jewels."

Oona: "Oh, cool. A doll collection."

Gil: (chuckles) "No. These are my action figures of the Great Battle of–"

Oona: "Incoming! (hit Gil with a pillow) Oh, sorry, dude."

Gil: "What was that?"

Oona: "What? Haven't you ever had a pillow fight before–"

Gil: (hit Oona back) "Heads up!"

Oona: "Oh, it's on!"

(The two then have a fun pillow fight)

Gil: "It's fun 'cause it doesn't hurt! (being hit) Ow! (he swings the pillow and almost drops one of his action figures) Oops! Just gonna move General Bogbreath safely over here."

Oona: "Yeah, gotta keep that doll out of harms way- (being hit in the stomach) Ooh!"

Gil: "Time in!" (the fight continues)

(Cut to their sleep time. Night 1 begins)

Oona: "So, Gil, would you rather sweat melted cheese or always smell like skunk?"

Gil: "Uh, sweat melted cheese. Frogs don't sweat, so I'd be cheese-free."

Oona: "Frogs don't sweat? Uh, jealous! Okay, next question. Gil?" (spots Gil sleeping) "Psst! Gil? Gil? Gil? Gil, Gil, Gil. Hey, Gil! (throws a pillow at him) You awake?"

Gil: "Oh, yeah, totally."

Oona: "Okay, good. So, next question."

(At midnight, Anne starts to sweat)

Oona: "Mm! Uh! Melting. (She opens the windows and the wind blows in) Ah, better."

Gil: (feeling cold) "Uh, freezing." (He closes the windows then goes back to sleep)

(Oona spots that and glares at him)

(Next morning at the Plantar's house)

Nonny: "Rise and shine, sleepyheads! Ya missed breakfast!"

Oona: (facing upsidedown, groaning) "Go away."

Zooli: (pumps onto Gil and wakes him up) "First time I've ever seen you sleep in so late. What gives?"

Gil: "I froze solid in the night and finally just thawed." (unfreezes himself)

Oona: "What? It was like a swamp sauna in here. Maybe Gil just needs another blanket."

Gil: "Or maybe Oona needs fewer blankets."

Oona: "Or maybe…"

Nonny: "Y'know, the couch is still free in case there's trouble in paradise."

Gil: "No way. Pssh. It's no trouble."

Oona: "Yeah. We're the best roommates in the history of roommates."

Oona and Gil: "Oonil against the world!"

Gil: "After you, best roomie."

Oona: (gets out the room first) "Why, thank you, also best roomie."

Nonny: (doubtfully) "Hmm."

Zooli: "They're gonna eat each other alive."

Nonny: "Oh, absolutely."

(Night 2)

(Oona turns on the light, reads a book and eats a snack loudly)

(Gil faces the wall and uses a pillow to cover his ears)

(Night 3)

(Gil sleeps while croaking)

(The noise wakes Oona up. Then Gil swings his tongue to her place)

(Night 4)

(Oona and Gil take turns to open and close the window)

(Night 5)

(Oona turns on the light and Hil growls)

(Night 6)

(Gil throws his wet towel on Oona. She then sees him cleaning his web crusties and shudders disgusted.)

(Night 10)

(Oona picks up her clothes but steps on a rollerskate and falls. The rollerskate hits the wall and almost drops Gil's action figure until he catches it. They look at each other and laugh awkwardly.)

Oona: "Is that my shirt?"

(At Oona's room, Nonny is still looking for the leak.)

Gil: (opens the back doors) "Hey, Nonny. How much longer, ya think? Tonight?"

Nonny: "Not a chance."

Gil: "Oh, let me help, let me help! You know my underwater sight is better than yours. (tests his eyes) Eh? Eh?"

Nonny: "That's a bunch of malarkey! My eyesight's fine! (pauses) Who's that, Gil? Anyway, don't you have chores to do?"

(Gil groans and goes away)

Oona: (opens the main doors) "Hey, Nonny, what's the ETA on things down here? Not that I'm in a hurry to move back in or whatever. (Nonny glares at her) What? I'm just curious. A girl can't ask about her flooded makeshift bedroom without getting grilled? Sheesh."

(Both grunt)

Gil: (scoffs and yawns) "Wow, what a long day. Goin' straight to bed, if I, uh, can get there without tripping over all these dirty clothes."

Oona: "I think it's your wet towels on the ground that'll get in your way."

Gil: (muttering) "I can leave my towels on the floor of my room."

Oona: "What was that?"

Gil: "Oh, nothing, best roomie. Anyways, good night. (goes to sleep)"

Oona: "Hmph." (she looks through her photos with Gil and chuckles at each of them) "Oh. Hey, Gil, would you rather have a splinter you could never get out or get bit by a giant mosquito once a day forever?"

(Gil grunts and shrugs. Oona then grabs a pillow and comes to Gil)

Oona: "Hey, Gil."

Gil: "What, Oona?"

Oona: (excitedly) "Pillow fight!"

Gil: "No, wait, stop! Aaah!" (He dodges but accidentally hits his action figure and breaks it apart)

Oona: "Oh, no! Y-Your doll- Uh, I mean, action figure. (pauses) Oonil against the world. Right?"

Gil: (replying blankly) "I have to go to the bathroom." (exits the room while staring at his friend)

Oona: (sighs, then complains) "How is it still so hot in here?"

(Gil enters the flooded room and goes underwater)

Gil: "Where's that darn leak? Come on! Come on!"

(Oona enters the room and sinks underwater as well)

(Both come out and take their breath)

Oona: "Oh, that leak has got to be around here somewhere."

Gil: "I know, right?"

(Both gasp)

Gil: "What are you doing here?"

Oona: "I was, uh, uh, feeling like a nighttime swim. What are you doing here?"

Gil: "Nighttime swim. As well."

Oona and Gil: (blaming) "You came down here to fix the leak! Yeah, well, so did you!"

Gil: "I knew it! You just couldn't wait to move out!"

Oona: "And you just couldn't wait to get rid of me! If you wanted me gone, you should have just said so- Aah!" (being dragged down by a river lamprey)

Gil: (worriedly) "Oona? Oona! Oona! Oona! Oona!"

Oona: "Something's got my leg!"

Gil: "Hang on. I'm coming." (being dragged as well)

Oona: "Gil!"

(They are being caught underwater. Oona pushes a lamprey on a ladder and sets herself free. Gil hits on another's eyes and swims above. Later, they're surrounded by two lampreys)

Gil: "River lampreys! What are we gonna do?"

Oona: "They're too fast. We can't fight them underwater." (sees her wet blanket and pillows floating) "Huh. Hey, Gil. You set 'em up…" (takes a pillow and gives Gil one)

Gil: "You knock 'em down." (he swims into the water and distracts two fishes)

(He hits one to above water and Oona hits it)

(The two fishes then makes a spinning attack)

Oona: "Come on. Come on." (she sees two fishes above water. Oona jumps on the bed and hits them) "Backhand!" (The lampreys hit the wall) "Had enough, river losers?"

Gil: "There's more where that came from."

(The lampreys sink underwater and dig a big hole at the bottom and suck all the water out)

Nonny: "What the heck's going on down here?"

Zooli: "Some of us are (screaming) trying to sleep!"

(Oona and Gil defend themselves, only realize it is Nonny and Zooli)

Oona: "Oh, uh, hi, Nonny."

Nonny: "So roommate thing didn't work out, huh?"

Oona and Gil: "(sighed) Not really."

Oona: "I just couldn't live with him! The wet towels, the heat, the humidity. The web crusties." (feels disgusting)

Gil: "The loud snacking. The freezing cold. Lights on at all hours. Guess Oonil really is a bust."

Oona: "Yeah."

Nonny: "Why? Because you're finally talking? Sharing a room doesn't make you friends. Being honest with each other does. In fact, if you ask me, you're better friends now than you were before."

(Oona and Gil smile)

Gil: "Of course we are!"

Oona: "Yes! Oonil is back and better than before!"

(Both makes their own handshake, then laughing again)

Zooli: "Aw, how sweet. So where's Oona gonna sleep then? Not with me. My bucket's for one."

(Cuts to the couch in the living room, where Oona can open the windows and sleep comfortably)

Gil: "Here you go. Some super-loud snacks you can munch on."

Oona: "Aw, thanks, Gil."

Gil: "No problem. Anything else I can get ya?"

Oona: "All good. See you in the a.m."

Gil: "Okay. Good night."

(Oona finally can eat snacks and read a book on her own. But the quiet atmosphere with only the ticking clock noise makes her feel a bit lonely. She sighs, then sees a can with a spring connected to it)

Gil: (on the speaker) "So, Oona, would you rather smell like rotten eggs or have hiccups every day for the rest of your life?"

Oona: "Oh, good one. I think I'd… (The living room floods) "Didn't anyone fix the leak?"


Author's Notes

That's the end of these two episodes. It's a real annoyance to have to watch the whole episode to copy everything down lol. It's also now that I realized that each of the two episodes in one are like part A and B, so I'll be updating those. Next up is episode 3, with Hop Luck and Stakeout!
