[It is now morning. Forta and Steve are sleeping, both under the covers. Forta had pulled her blanket all the way up to her neck.]

Aina: "MORNING!"

[Aina is standing inbetween the two beds, holding two sets of clothes. The two open their eyes and Steve site up, scratching his head and rubbing his eyes.]

Steve: "Oh, morning Aina.]

Aina: "Good morning!"

[Aina's eyes are bloodshot, and has very visible bags.]

Forta: "Aina, did you sleep last night?"

Aina: "Well...for a little bit. But I made everyone new clothes! These should do better if it rains."

[Aina hands Steve his clothes and puts Fortas clothes on her bed. Forta and Steve now realize that Aina is wearing new clothes as well. Her shirt is long sleeved with grey sleeves and a black top. There is a leather triangle on her chest from the top of the shirt. Her brown pants are high waisted and she has on leather boots.]

Aina: "The leather boots are in the other room. Get dressed and come for breakfast."

[Aina turns around and leaves.]

Scene 2:

[Forta emerges from Steve's house. Her outfit made of red cloth and leather. Her sleeves are red and the rest of the shirt is made of leather with a large red stripe down the middle. THe shirt is a bit too low cut and she frowns as she looks her outfit over. She is wearing shorts that are red with leather around the bottom. Her boots are also made of leather but goes all the way up to her knees. She dislikes how much skin it shows but she just sighs and walks over to Shiko's porch where Aina is feeding Nevin and the little girl.]

Aina: "Oh, Forta, this is Kiken'na."

[The little girl waves at Forta]

Kiki: "You can call me Kiki! What's your name?"

Forta: "My name is Forta. What a pretty name you have."

Kiki: "Thank you, Paru named me!"

Forta: "Paru..?"

Kiki: "He's the man I was with. He took care of me! I woke up one day and I was here, but not here. I was in a tree not far from here! He found me and took care of me for a long time! But one day he went to kill piggies and never came back. I went out looking for them and got caught in the rain. Aina found me and made me not sick!"

Forta: "Oh… I uh…"

[Forta looks at Aina who shrugs sadly.]

Kiki: "I like it her though! I never met another kid like me!"

[Kiki pokes Nevin]

Nevin: "HEY! Doody head!"

Aina: "Guys, eat your breakfast."

[Nevin bites into his chicken.]

[Forta notes their outfits. Kiki's ruined white dress that she wore before was gone and was now wearing a simple purple dress with a leather collar, leather waist band and leather leggings. Nevin's once striped green and blue shirt is now a simple blue shirt, with leather collar. His sleeves are leather and his pants are also leather with a blue waist band. His pants at the bottom are also leather.]

Forta: "You did a great job with the outfits Aina."

Aina: "Thank you. A lot of sheep are naked and spiders are dead but it's worth it. This can protect us."

Forta: "Did you make one for Kreten?"

[Aina shakes her head and her smile drops a little. Then Steve comes up behind her shortly followed by Shiko opening his door.]

Steve: "Morning."

Shiko: "Morning."

[Shiko raises his eyebrows at Steve and Steve does the same to him. Shiko's new outfit is mostly made of leather except for his long sleeves that are green except at the cuffs. Steve's outfit is more colorful. His square-ish color is made of leather, as well as his waist-band, long sleeved undershirt and two circles at his knees. The rest of the short sleeved overshirt is cyan and his pants are a peculiar shade of blue, almost indigo.]

Forta: "What odd colors for Steve's outfit."

[Forta says this looking Steve up and down. Aina shrugs.]

Aina: "I thought they would suit him. Anyways, come now sit."

[They all follow Aina's orders and sit on the porch. Aina hands them all one piece of cooked chicken. She looks worried and scared as she sits back down and does not eat.]

Shiko: "Sweetie… aren't you hungry?"

Aina: "No, I'm fine."

Steve: "But, it's breakfast you need to eat something."

[Aina looks at Kiki and Nevin.]

Aina: "Go play with Boris you two."

Kiki: "Yay!"

[They both get up, running in the direction of Boris who is sitting by the empty farm area.]

Aina: "We have no more food left."

[There is a silence.]

Steve: "B-but we just went hunting!"

Aina: "I know… but before that we have had a long streak of hunts turning up nothing. We can't seem to find any wheat seeds either. I fear we may starve."

Forta: "We can't starve!"

Shiko: "Forta calm down."

Forta: "We keep hunting until the day we die! We keep fighting for our lives!"

Aina: "Yes...I know. Today we hunt. Every single one of us. Get anything you can eat, anything."

Steve: "Who will watch the kids?"

Aina: "Steve, take Kiki. I will take Nevin."

Forta: "Why?"

Aina: "No offense Steve, we need to stay out of the way of intense danger, we don't really defend ourselves well. It's best the kids stay with those in less danger."

Steve: "Oh…"

Forta: "Hehe."

Aina: "We split up. Forta and Steve, stay out as long as you can without putting yourselves in danger. Steve and I will be back as the sun sets. Let's go."

[Everyone gets up and walks toward the structure to get suited up. Montage of armoring and weapon ready-ing.]

Scene 3:

[Steve is walking along an edge of a forest and a meadow with Kiki.]

Kiki: "What are we hunting anyways?"

Steve: "Anything. You see a pig, cow, egg, chicken or anything, let me know."

Kiki: "Yes sir!"

[Kiki starts squinting and straining her eyes to see all around her. Steve looks around too.]

Steve: "Aha! Kiki this way!"

[Steve spotted a cow near the trees in the forest. He runs at it and hits it with his sword. It goes down in two blows.]

Kiki: "Wow!"

[Steve picks up the meat.]

Steve: "And that's how it's done."

Kiki: "Can I kill the next one?"

Steve: "Uh, sure I guess if you really want."

[The two continue to look around, they look far off as they make their way through the forest, finding nothing but sheep and trees.]

Kiki: "Why can't we eat the sheep?"

Steve: "When they die, only their wool remains."

Kiki: "Why?"

Steve: "I am unsure Kiki, you don't know much more than I do."

Kiki: "One day I just woke up here! I was in a tree! I don't know how I even came to be!"

Steve: "No one knows Kiki. When I was created I was in a hole made of sand. I had to dig my way up until I saw sun."

Kiki: "Oooh that sounds scary. Did you fight any monsters?"

Steve: "Many. I almost died because of an endermen."

Kiki: "Endermen?"

Steve: "The tall black monsters with the squinty eyes."

Kiki: "Oh those are scary! I almost had to kill a zombie but Paru found me. Paru was a big strong man who took care of me. Did you meet anyone?"

Steve: "Well first… there was this girl. Yowai… She was hiding in a house she made of dirt. She had nothing and was very afraid. I took care of her… at least I tried…"

Kiki: "What happened to her?"

[Steve is staring off into the distance as they continue to walk. Flashbacks are playing in his head of the explosion that killed Yowai.]

Steve: "Monster got her."

[Kiki is silent, now realizing it was a sore topic. They walk in silence for a while, focusing on finding food.]

Kiki: "Look!"

[Kiki points to a chicken about a yard away. She grabs Steve's sword out of his hand, snapping him out of his trance.]

Steve: "Kiki! Wait!"

[Kiki doesn't listen and runs at the chicken, using all her strength to pull the sword over her head. Once catching up to the chicken she swings the sword vertically, decapitating the chicken and gettings it's meat.]

Steve: "Kiki! Be more careful you could have hurt yourself."

Kiki: "But look Steve! I got us chicken!"

Steve: "That's… good."

[Kiki hands Steve the chicken and his sword.]

Steve: "Come on Kiki, Let's make our way back. We'll go a different way home."

[Steve and Kiki start walking in the direction they came.]

Scene 4:

[Forta is picking up mushrooms in a mushroom biome. She sees no cows or animals of any kind. She crouches down and picks up red and brown mushrooms, sick to her stomach of how hungry she is. She suddenly hears someone else's footsteps. She stands all the way up. whips around and readys her bow.]

Forta: "Who's there?"

[She sees no one and there is no response. Forta looks around, making careful steps and aiming her bow around.]

Forta: "Show yourself!"

[Again, no response. Forta looks at the setting sun and decides to make her way back. She starts walking back to a jungle behind her when a zombie comes out of nowhere.]

Forta: "Damn it!"

[Forta shoots him down with 3 arrows. But this time Forta stops and looks at the zombie. She picks up the meat he left and looks it over. It seems similar to the meat from a cow or pig, but a little more green. She keeps it. She continues on her way, killing and picking up the meat from every zombie she sees.]

Scene 5:

[Steve and Aina are sitting on Steve's porch, watching as Kiki and Nevin play tag with Boris and Oda.]

Aina: "You couldn't find much could you?"

Steve: "No, just 2 chickens and 2 cows."

Aina: "Me too. 2 pigs and 3 chickens. With this many people that couldn't feed us for even a day."

Steve: "And we can't find any seeds at all?"

Aina: "None at all."

Steve: "What do we do?"

Aina: "I-I don't know."

[There is silence, both are contemplating what death would be like. Soon Shiko opens the gate to the camp and walks over to them. He plops down next to Aina and sighs.]

Aina: "What did you find?"

Shiko: "Good news is I found 2 seeds, bad news is I didn't find any animals."

[Aina nods and looks down at the floor. She gets up and walks to her house.]

Aina: "Excuse me."

[Steve looks at Shiko.]

Steve: "Do you think Forta is ok?"

Shiko: "No, I know she is ok. She's the strongest person I know. Did you hear her this morning? She wouldn't accept death until it has her in it's cold grasp. If she is in trouble, she's hiding for the night. I'm honestly surprised you would even ask."

Steve: "I just… I failed to protect someone I love before."

Shiko: "Yeah you told me about Yowai. Honestly, Yowai needed protecting. Forta needs no one. She could go out into the world right now with that bow and arrow and find gold and diamonds to her heart's content. I think she stays here because she's protecting you."

Steve: "Protecting me?"

Shiko: "Yeah, even though you are strong and an ok fighter, you need protection. This is gonna come off like I'm a sissy but you need protection from your own problems. She left you now, the dark cloud of losing Yowai would come back. She knows that, I know that and you know that."

[Steve stares at Boris running towards Kiki as they play tag, thinking about it.]

Steve: "Y-you think I'm dependent on her to keep me sane?"

Shiko: "I wouldn't go that far. But you two need each other. You keep her knowing that it's ok to be weak. That having feelings is ok and that being embarrassed is only human. I can tell she has a lot of insecurities for whatever reason. You keep her knowing they aren't true."

Steve: "That's pretty touchy feely for a guy who said I was full of shit for calling girls fragile."

Shiko: "I said you were full of shit because you compared Forta to an egg you idiot. Also cause we both know that's not true."

Steve: "I'm not full of shit."

Shiko: "Whatever man. Just let Forta be herself."

[Just then Forta opens up the wooden door to the camp. She appears worn out. Steve stands up and fast walks over to her. He wraps his arms around her and hugs her.]

Forta: "Uh… Hi."

Steve: "Hi."

[There is a pause and finally Forta hugs him back.]

Steve: "Are you ok?"

Forta: "Yeah I'm fine."

[The two split up and stop hugging.]

Forta: "I have an idea."

Steve: "What?"

Forta: "Get everyone to gather in our house, minus Kiki and Nevin."

Scene 5:

[The adults are sitting around in the wooden chairs in Forta and Steve's house. Oda sits in Aina's lap and Boris sits at the feet of Shiko.]

Forta: "I may have a new food source for us."

Aina: "What?"

[Forta shows some of her stack of rotten zombie flesh.]

Shiko: "What is that?"

Forta: "Zombie meat."

Steve: "Are you serious?"

Forta: "Yes. With the zombie meat I collected we could feed ourselves for about a week."

Aina: "We don't know what will happen if we eat that."

Forta: "I could test it."

Steve: "Forta no. You don't know what will happen."

Shiko: "We can't let you do that."

Forta: "Well I can't let you guys starve!"

Aina: "We will be fine Forta."

[Forta stands up and faces Aina.]

Forta: "We won't be fucking fine! I'M STARVING, YOU'RE STARVING KIKI AND NEVIN ARE ON THEIR LAST LEGS! WE CAN'T SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT WITHOUT OUR OWN STOMACHS WAKING US UP! WE NEED FOOD!"

[Everyone is silent. Aina looks horrified and upset.]

Forta: "I-I I'm so sorry Aina. I didn't mean that…"

[Aina gets up and walks out of the house.]

Shiko: "Oh god."

[Forta turns to her Shiko.]

Forta: "I didn't mean it Shiko I promise."

Shiko: "I know Forta. You lost your temper. I'll go talk to her."

[Shiko gets up and follows Aina.]

Steve: "It's ok you were only trying to help."

Forta: "But I-I'm terrible! All I do is get angry and yell!"

Steve: "It's ok. You did it for a good reason."

[Forta sits down next to Steve and puts her head in her hands and starts to cry. Steve puts his arm around her.]

Steve: "Forta, we will be ok. We found some food today and with the seeds Shiko found, we can now grow wheat. In time, we will have bread again."

Forta: "But what now? With the limited amount of food we will have to select who gets to eat. Of course we will feed Kiki and Nevin, but what about the four of us? Aina will chose to feed and Shiko and I. You heard her, she said we were the best hunters. She'll need hunters to get food. I can't have you starve! I just can't!"

[Forta burst into more tears. Steve is startled by how much she cared that he ate. he is also startled by the amount of emotion Forta was displaying.]

Steve: "We will eat. Whatever we can do, we will."

[Forta sits in silence, the crying gave her hiccups.]

Steve: "I want you to have my food."

Forta: "No I-"

Steve: "Shut up. You are the reason I'm alive. You are the reason I don't hide myself from the world in that little cave anymore. You are the reason we are all going to live. Don't ever forget how much you mean to me and everyone else."

[Forta looks at Steve quizically and Steve clears his throat, quickly becoming nervous and red.]

Forta: "Are you blushing?"

[Forta starts to laugh despite her tear stained eyes.]

Steve: "Shut up."

[Steve nervously laughs along with oinks at them angrily since their laughter woke her up.]

Forta: "Why so nervous?"

Steve: "I uh-"

[Steve cuts himself off and kisses Forta. Forta is caught off guard but goes along with it. The kiss ends after 3 seconds.]

Forta: "Oh."

Steve: "I'm sorry. I'll be off to bed then."

[Steve gets up and goes into the bedroom. Forta is left to pet Oda and think over what just happened.]

Scene 6:

[It is the middle of the night in Forta and Steve's house. Oda is sleeping softly on Steve's bed along with Steve who is also dreaming away. But both are awoken by the founds of Forta on the porch. She is vomiting violently. Steve hears the sound and gets up, and walks outside, following the sound.]

Steve: "Forta!"

[Forta continues to vomit.]

Forta: "Steve [vomit] I-! [vomit] DON'T EAT THE ZOMBIE MEAT!"

Steve: "Forta we told you not to!"

Forta: "GET AINA! [vomit]"

[Steve runs to get Aina as Forta is left to continue to vomit. Aina and Steve come running back.]

Aina: "You are crazy!"

[Forta continues to vomit}

Forta: "I know."

Aina: "Steve, go get some milk, there is probably some in one of the chests."

[Steve nods and runs to the structure and sorts through all the chests.]

Aina: [To Forta] "What the hell?"

Forta: "[Vomit] I wanted to feed you guys, but you needed a test. I was the test [vomit]"

[Aina saw that Forta was starting to get vomit in her hair and her clothes.]

Aina: "Steve! Get some spider's string too!"

[Steve runs back with a bucket of milk and string. Aina ties Forta's hair back as she continues to vomit.]

Steve: "Poor Forta…"

Aina: "You ok hon?"

Forta: "Fantastic."

[Forta vomits again.]

Steve: "At least she's well enough for sarcasm."

[Aina takes the bucket of milk and hands it to Forta.]

Aina: "Drink this."

[Forta starts to drink it, but stops to continue to vomit. She then goes back to drinking it. She finishes the whole thing.]

Aina: "Feel any better?"

Forta: "The vomiting stopped. But my stomach is still angry."

Aina: "You should feel that way for a little while."

[Forta nods and takes deep breaths trying to recover. The sun starts to rise as the three fall silent.]

Forta: "I'm sorry Aina. I just was trying to protect us is all. I didn't mean to let my temper get away from me like that."

Aina: "It's ok. We all want to keep everyone alive. We all respond to it differently. You shout until the problem is fixed, I cry until the problem is fixed, Shiko destroys until the problem is fixed and well Steve…"

Steve: "I talk until the problem is fixed."

[Forta giggles a little.]

Aina: "See we all have faults and strengths. It's ok."

[The two hug, and Aina can hear Forta's stomach rumbling. They stop hugging.]

Aina: "You must be hungry."

Forta: "No. Give my breakfast to Steve. I'm going hunting."
