Emma #259: The Rain After School

Player

It's been a long while since it's just been the two of us walking home, hasn't it, Emma?

Emma

Yeah, it has. Usually everyone else is here.

Player

Hey, why don't we stop somewhere on the way? How do crepes sound?

Emma

Oh, that sounds great!

Emma

Hm? Oh, I think it's starting to rain.

Player

It is! And I don't have my umbrella! Oh geez, what should we do? You wanna go back to the clubroom?

Emma

Yeah, what SHOULD we do?

Player

I don't think we have time to wonder at this point!

Emma

I think we should head back for now. Make a run for it!

Player

You got it!

[Fade in/out.]

Emma

Oh, I'm totally soaked…

Player

Yeah, me too. I'll use a towel to dry your hair for you. Hold still for a sec.

Emma

Okay. Thank you.

Player

*Pat, pat, pat*

Emma

That feels nice. This reminds me of the time my mom did this to me when I was growing up.

Player

Well, you're always taking care of us. Today, I get to take care of you.

Emma

Wow, what a special occasion! Maybe today won't be so bad after all.

[Fade in/out.]

Emma

!!!

Emma

What was that?

Player

Was that thunder?

[Fade in/out.]

Player

Eek! It's a blackout! I need a flashlight! A candle! No, my cell phone! Where's my cell phone?!

Emma

It's okay! Just calm down. *Squeeze*

Player

Oh!

Emma

Nature is so much stronger than any of us could ever hope to be. In times like this, there's no need to panic. No need to scream. We just have to stay calm where we are.

Player

Right… Yeah, that's right! Man, I can't believe I made such a big scene…

Emma

You're fine. I'll give you some head pats if it'll make you feel better.

Option 1: “Aren't you scared too, Emma?”

Player

Aren't you scared of thunder too, Emma?

Emma

Not at all. See, because the skies, the mountains, lightning, thunder and all of that nature is always by our side.

Option 2: “Y-You wanna let go of me sometime?”

Player

Er, um, Emma… You wanna let go of me sometime? It's just kind of embarrassing.

Emma

Oh, I'm so sorry! I wasn't even thinking!

Emma

*Giggle*

Player

What is it, Emma?

Emma

I dunno, it's just a little funny. Someday, somewhere, we might remember how the two of us sat here staring up at the sky.

Emma

It just makes me think that even this time we spend doing nothing is important too.
