(The screen lights up and we see a nicely furnished living room. Sitting in a chair in front of the camera is Giovanni.)

Giovanni: Hello and welcome to episode 50 of The Pikachu and Mew Show. As you may have already noticed, Thunder and Mew are not here. I was asked to fill in for them. While I don’t really want to do it, mother thought I should, so here I am. My name is Giovanni, but I’m sure you already knew that. The original plan for today was for me to do what ever I wanted, but that all changed when Thunder and Mew saw an episode of the original Mega Man cartoon show. They wanted me to speak with some characters from that show. So, today I will be speaking with Mega Man, Proto Man, Dr. Light, and Dr. Wiley. And after watching that show, I know that I’m going to have an interesting time speaking with them. I’m not sure what to do once I finish with that. I left that up to Lightning to decide, so I guess we won’t know until he gets here. Did I get everything, Mew Two?

Mew Two: I believe so. Why not call out your first guest.

Giovanni: Okay. Which is the one that needs counseling?

Mew Two: What?

Giovanni: Mew made me watch a few episodes with her yesterday and one of the robots was in serious need of psychological counseling. It was the one with the scarf.

Mew Two: Proto Man?

Giovanni: Sure. Send him out.

Mew Two: Okay. Proto Man.

(Proto Man walks into the room and sits down on the sofa.)

Giovanni: Hello.

Proto Man: Hey.

Giovanni: What’s your problem?

Proto Man: What?

Giovanni: I was watching your show yesterday and I noticed you have an unnatural, and somewhat disturbing, obsession with your “brother,” Mega Man. What is that?

Proto Man: It’s not an obsession. I just think he should switch sides and work for Dr. Wiley like I do.

Giovanni: Why don’t you just accept the fact that he doesn’t want to be evil like you?

Proto Man: What kind of jerk gives up on their own brother? I know that if I push him a little, he’ll start to see things my way.

Giovanni: You’re a lost cause, aren’t you?

Proto Man: What?

Giovanni: Mew Two, which one of those scientists made this guy?

Mew Two: Dr. Wiley.

Giovanni: I want to talk to him. This one is defective or something.

Mew Two: Okay.

(Dr. Wiley walks into the room and sits down on the sofa next to Proto Man.)

Giovanni: You made that?

(He points to Proto Man.)

Dr. Wiley: I did. The first robot I made after I stole the plans from Dr. Light. Proto Man is like a son to me.

Giovanni: (giving Dr. Wiley the “wow... what a freak” look) Riiiight... So, you think this robot is like a child.

Dr. Wiley: Yes.

Giovanni: You realize that there are orphanages for people who want children but don’t want to deal with marriage, don’t you?

Dr. Wiley: Yes I do, but-

Giovanni: I suppose, though, that you can’t use real children to commit crimes. Perhaps that was a question that I should ask of the other scientist...

Dr. Wiley: Yeah. Talk about psycho. That guy really thinks his robots are his children.

Giovanni: Didn’t you used to work with him on the robots?

Dr. Wiley: I did, but we separated because of creative differences.

Giovanni: I don’t know if you being a selfish jerk is the same as “creative differences.”

Dr. Wiley: I am not a selfish jerk! I just wanted to get the credit I deserve!

Giovanni: Of course (sarcasm). But now to the question I really wanted to ask you. Why does that robot there have a crazy obsession with the blue robot?

Dr. Wiley: Crazy obsession?

Giovanni: Yes. He was constantly trying to convert the other robot to the dark side or what ever you call it and talking about how he didn’t want to have to destroy his “brother” but would if he had to.

Dr. Wiley: So he’s happy to have a brother. That doesn’t make him crazy.

Andrea: (coming out from behind her father’s chair) Maybe the divorce made him crazy!

(Giovanni jumps out of the chair. He sees Andrea standing behind it, smiling.)

Giovanni: I thought you were trying to kill me and now I’m sure.

Andrea: I’m not trying to kill you! I was just seeing what you were up to.

Giovanni: Hosting a talk show.

Andrea: Oh yeah! Can I help!?

Giovanni: I have a feeling that you’ll help whether I agree or not.

Andrea: Yay!

(She walks out of the cameras range for a moment and returns with a chair. She puts it in between her dad and the sofa Proto Man and Dr. Wiley are sitting on.)

Andrea: Fun! So, I think the divorce made Proto Man crazy!

Dr. Wiley: What divorce?

Andrea: When you broke up with Dr. Light, silly!

Dr. Wiley: That wasn’t a divorce! And Proto Man wasn’t even built yet!

Andrea: You can say whatever you want, but I know what really happened.

Dr. Wiley: Do you see why I would rather build robots than find real children?

Giovanni: I think I can see why one would consider the robots.

Andrea: Very funny, daddy. I wanna talk to the robot! Can I talk to the robot!?

Giovanni: Go ahead.

Andrea: Yay! So, what’s up?

Proto Man: Ummmmmm.... Nothing really.

Andrea: Too bad. Do robots eat food or anything?

Proto Man: Not usually-

Andrea: What’s it like to be a robot?

Proto Man: It’s okay. It’s kind of weird letting people open you up all the time-

Andrea: Fun! Can I open you up? I wanna see what the inside of a robot looks like!

Proto Man: I don’t think-

Dr. Wiley: No! You’ll ruin him. You don’t realize how sensitive these machines are.

Andrea: Can I have a robot, daddy?

Giovanni: You don’t need a robot, Andrea.

Andrea: But, daddy! I want a robot!

Giovanni: For what?

Andrea: So I can make it fight crime or something.

Giovanni: You do not need a crime fighting robot.

Andrea: Yes I do! I promise I’ll be extra good if you get me a robot!

Giovanni: Maybe you should be good without the robot.

Andrea: No! I want a robot!

Giovanni: No. You don’t need a robot.

Andrea: DADDY!!!!

Giovanni: Fine. Dr. Wiley, can you build a robot that isn’t evil?

Dr. Wiley: Why would I do that?

Giovanni: Mew Two, get me that other scientist.

Mew Two: Okay.

(Dr. Light walks into the room. He sits down on a sofa across from Dr. Wiley and Proto Man.)

Giovanni: Hello.

Dr. Light. Oh. Hi.

Giovanni: Can you build a robot that isn’t evil?

Dr. Light: Of course I can.

Giovanni: How much is it going to cost me?

Dr. Light: That depends on what kind you want. We have cleaning robots, security robots-

Andrea: I want a fun robot!

Giovanni: What is a fun robot?

Andrea: I want it to have neat powers like that one.

(She points to Proto Man.)

Giovanni: Why don’t I just buy you that one, then.

Andrea: I don’t like him. He has a tacky outfit. And I want a girl robot. Hey! Maybe I could get him too and then I could make them a cute robot couple!

(Giovanni sighs loudly and shakes his head.)

Giovanni: (To Dr. Light.) You wait. (To Dr. Wiley) How much do you want for that one?

Dr. Wiley: I can’t sell this one. Proto Man was my first robot.

Andrea: You can to sell him because I want him!

Giovanni: Andrea, we can’t make him sell it if he doesn’t want to.

Andrea: Sure we can! You do stuff like that all the time.

Giovanni: That’s enough of that, Andrea.

Andrea: Well, you do.

Giovanni: Are you sure you won’t sell him?

Proto Man: Of course he is!

Dr. Wiley: Well... How much are you willing to pay?

Proto Man: Dr. Wiley!?

Giovanni: I’ll give you... $40,000 for him.

Dr. Wiley: Sold.

Andrea: Yay!

Giovanni: Norbert.

(Norbert walks over to him.)

Norbert: Yes, sir?

Giovanni: Bring me my check book.

Norbert: (walking away) Yes, sir.

Giovanni: Now, Dr. Light. Who much would it cost to build one like Proto Man, but a girl.

Dr. Light: Oh, I don’t know. It takes me several weeks of work and a lot of materials-

Giovanni: (talking the check book from Norbert, who had just returned, and writing one out to Dr. Wiley) I suppose that since it’s newer than this, it will be worth more, so I’ll give you $55,000.

Dr. Light: Well, I don’t why such a young girl would want a fighting robot-

Giovanni: (Giving a check to Dr. Wiley) Lets not question her reasons. Just agree to make the robot.

Dr. Light: Okay.

Giovanni: Excellent!

Andrea: Yay!

(Giovanni begins writing another check)

Giovanni: Do you have a book or something she can look at to make sure she gets what she wants?

Dr. Light: Well, if she wants it to be like Proto Man, I suppose I would model it after Mega Man. He’s here if you want her to look at him.

Giovanni: Fine. Call it out.

(Mega Man walks onto the stage.)

Giovanni: Are you sure that’s what you want, Andrea? I’m not going to pay him $55,000 for something you don’t really want.

Andrea: (Inspecting Mega Man) Hmmmmm.... Yeah. This will do. What’s this for?

(She grabs his arm and shows it to Dr. Light)

Dr. Light: That is his plasma cannon. It’s where the plasma beams come out. It’s also where any absorbed techniques would be fired from.

Andrea: Cool! Do I get to pick what color my robot is?

Dr. Light: Certainly.

Andrea: I want a purple robot! With pink hair! No! Pink hair with purple highlights!

(Giovanni shakes his head. He gives Dr. Light the check.)

Andrea: Speaking of highlights, I want to get pink highlights! Can I, daddy?

Giovanni: What is with you today?

Andrea: What?

Giovanni: Are you trying to bankrupt me? You’ve just spent almost $100,000 already and now you want to go to one of those over priced hair salons.

Andrea: Come on, daddy! You’re being really uncool! I just want pink highlights! Aunt Sarah let Kelly get pink highlights.

Giovanni: I don’t care what color your aunt let your cousin dye her hair, you don’t need pink highlights.

Andrea: But daddy!

Giovanni: No.

Andrea: (pouting) Fine. (Pause) What about purple?

Giovanni: Andrea...

Andrea: Okay. (Tossing her hair back) I’ll just ask grandma to let me do it, then. She’ll say yes.

(She smiles evilly at her father. Giovanni just sighs loudly and pretends she didn’t say anything.)

Giovanni: Go play with your new robot, Andrea.

Andrea: Okay! Come on, Proto Man!

(She grabs Proto Man and drags him out of the room.)

Mega Man: What-

Giovanni: Don’t ask. (Pause) So, what else was I supposed to talk to them about?

Mew Two: What ever you want.

Giovanni: But I don’t have any more questions.

Mew Two: Weren’t you going to yell at Mega Man for being a bad role model for young children?

Giovanni: Is he the stupid one that leaves troubled teenagers alone in dangerous situations and won’t let the girl robot do anything because she’s a girl?

Mew Two: That’s right?

Giovanni: So I was! Thank you, Mew Two.

Mew Two: Forget about it.

Giovanni: So, Mega Man, did you realize that you are a terrible role model?

Mega Man: What!?

Giovanni: You are. You are telling children that girls are inferior to boys and can’t do anything aside from cooking and cleaning.

Mega Man: But that is all Roll is good for-

Giovanni: That’s a horrible thing to say about your sister.

Dr. Light: But that is why I built her.

Giovanni: She seemed to be a very capable robot to me. In fact, she saved you on more than one occasion.

Mega Man: But she’s a house keeping robot. She just gets in my way most of the time.

Giovanni: Silence! I will not hear such nonsense. Either you start treating that robot better or I’ll see to it that you are damaged in an unfortunate accident.

Dr. Light: Are you threatening him?

Giovanni: Yes. I’m sorry. I guess I wasn’t very clear. Be nicer to the robot or you’re finished. Okay?

Mega Man: Sure...

Giovanni: Great. Now, get out of my sight, all of you. And you had better get that robot finished with, Dr. Light. That girl is impossible when she wants something and doesn’t have it.

Dr. Light: (Getting up) Okay...

(Mega Man, Dr. Light, and Dr. Wiley leave the room.)

Mew Two: Well, that was all Thunder and Mew wanted you to do, and you are only one quarter of the way through the show. What would you like to do now?

Giovanni: I don’t know. What do people like to see?

Mew Two: Well, the fans of TPAMS seem to like you a lot. Maybe you should show them around your home.

Giovanni: *sigh* Fine. Bring the stupid camera this way.

(He gets out of his chair and walks out of the room. The camera follows. They walks down some halls until they reach a large door.)

Giovanni: This is the front door.

Mew Two: Why is it so large?

Giovanni: It looks better on a large house than a small door would.

Mew Two: Okay.

(Giovanni turns around. The camera turns with him.)

Giovanni: This is the entry hall. It has the big staircase that goes upstairs.

Mew Two: (looking at the railing on the stairs) Is this real gold on here?

Giovanni: Of course it is. Like I would have any cheap fake gold in my house.

Mew Two: Why do you have gold in your hand rail?

Giovanni: It looks nice. I am getting rather bored with it, though. I was thinking about taking the entire staircase out and having a new one put in.

Mew Two: Why?

Giovanni: I always have rooms redone when I get bored with them. The way I see it, if I can afford to remodel my home every couple of months, why shouldn’t I?

Mew Two: Months?

Giovanni: Sure. I have done so many remodeling projects that there isn’t much of the original house left any more. Come. Let us look upstairs.

(Giovanni leads them up the stairs. At the top, they find a long hall way.)

Giovanni: Where would you like to look first?

Mew Two: Lets go left.

Giovanni: Okay.

(They turn left and go down the long hall. There are all sorts of paintings and strange art work on the walls. Giovanni stops them at a large pink door.)

Giovanni: This is Andrea’s room. Lets see if she’s in there.

(He takes out his cell phone and dials a number.)

Mew Two: Why don’t you just knock?

Giovanni: She’d never hear it. (Pause) Hello. (Pause) Where are you? (Pause) Good. Mew Two said that I should give a tour of the house, so we’re going to visit your room. (Pause) Okay. Behave yourself. (Pause) Bye. (Putting the phone away) She’s in there.

(He opens the door and goes in. The camera follows him inside. On the other side of the door, there is a massive room that has several doors on the walls. There are toys and clothes everywhere.)

Giovanni: Watch your step. I have no idea what kinds of creatures you’ll discover in here.

Mew Two: So many doors... Where do they all go?

Giovanni: All those doors on the left go into her closet.

Mew Two: All of them!? There are 7 doors!

Giovanni: It’s a very large closet.

(He opens one of the closet doors.)

Giovanni: She keeps toys in this part of the closet.

Mew Two: Are all the parts connected?

Giovanni: Yeah. There used to be only 2 doors, but she wanted a door for each section, so that’s what I had put in.

Mew Two: (looking into the closet) Wow... That is a big closet.

Giovanni: And she somehow managed to fill it.

Mew Two: With what?

Giovanni: Clothes mostly. She has enough clothing to dress every 14 year old girl in the northern hemisphere. Twice.

Mew Two: Wow...

Andrea: Hi!

(They all turn to see Andrea behind them.)

Andrea: What do you think? I want pool, but daddy won’t let me have one.

Mew Two: I think you have plenty of fun things in here- Is that a tennis court?

Giovanni: Yes.

Mew Two: You have a tennis court in your room?

Andrea: Yeah. I love tennis! It’s fun!

Giovanni: That’s one of the 2 things in this room she actually uses.

Mew Two: What’s the other thing?

Giovanni: The closet.

Andrea: Hey! I use my bathroom, too! And my mini bar!

Mew Two: Do you have to leave your room for anything?

Andrea: Just to go swimming.

(She glares at her father.)

Giovanni: Where do you expect to put pool in here?

Andrea: In the bathroom. There’s plenty of space in there. I don’t want a big pool.

Giovanni: In the bathroom?

Andrea: Sure! If it’s there, I won’t get water all over my stuff.

Mew Two: She makes a good point.

Giovanni: But you already have a pool outside, the four season pool in the garden, and the one in the pool room downstairs.

Andrea: But none of those are in my room!

Giovanni: Now I remember why I told mother I didn’t want any children.

Mew Two: Stop that! Just tell her that you’ll think about it.

Giovanni: I’ve been telling her that since the day she got the idea.

Mew Two: You’re still thinking, then.

Giovanni: *sigh* Sure. Any way, back to your tour. The doors over there go to Andrea’s play room, her study room, her theater, and her bathroom.

Mew Two: What does a girl her age need with all those rooms?

Giovanni: The idea was for her to make her messes in all those rooms instead of in here, but that plan kind of fell through.

Andrea: (picking a skirt up off the floor) My room isn’t THAT messy, daddy. (Pause) Hmmmmm... I was wondering what happened to this skirt...

Giovanni: Lets go look at those rooms.

(They go to the farthest door away from them on the other wall. It goes into the play room. There are many games and toys scattered around the room. Proto Man is sitting in the corner. Andrea had turned him off.)

Giovanni: You’re already tired of your new robot?

Andrea: No. I turned him off because he was yelling something about destroying me if I didn’t let him go. I decided that it would be safer for me to wait for my new robot before I turn him back on.

Mew Two: That makes sense. (Pause) So this is the play room?

Giovanni: Yes. Andrea spends most of her time in here.

Andrea: Uh-huh! I like to play my new video games! They’re in that wall over there!

(She runs over to the wall and pushes a button. The wall opens to reveal a TV and a Game Cube.)

Andrea: I’m getting real good at Sonic!

Mew Two: That’s nice. (Looking around) Where does that door go?

Giovanni: To the theater.

(He walks them over to the door and opens it. Inside is a large screen.)

Giovanni: She watches movies and such in here.

Mew Two: Wow... You gave her everything, didn’t you?

Giovanni: She’s had a rough life. I decided that she deserved to have everything she ever wanted.

(Andrea looks at him.)

Giovanni: Except for a pool in her bedroom and pink highlights.

(She crosses her arms and pouts. Giovanni leads them back into the main part of Andrea’s room. Then he leads them into the third door on the wall. There’s a hall behind it.)

Mew Two: Where does this go?

Giovanni: Her bathroom.

(They follow he hall to the end and through another door to find a large bathroom. It’s a large, open room with a several doors on the far side and a fountain in the middle.)

Giovanni: She wanted the fountain.

Andrea: I thought it was neat.

Mew Two: Is it safe to assume that the toilet and shower are through those doors in the back.

Giovanni: Yes.

Mew Two: What’s all his space for?

Giovanni: I’m not really sure. The architect told me it was like a waiting space. But when I asked him who would be waiting for her, he didn’t have an answer.

Andrea: A pool would fit nicely in here.

Giovanni: You don’t need a pool in your bathroom.

Andrea: And you don’t need a whole wing of the house where I’m not allowed to go, but you have it any way.

Mew Two: You have an entire wing of your house she isn’t allowed to go in?

Giovanni: Yes. If I didn’t, she would ask me for things all the time. And if you haven’t noticed, I’m not very good at saying ‘no.’

Mew Two: You’ve done a good job of telling her she can’t have her own pool.

Giovanni: But she knows that if she bothers me long enough, she’ll have it.

Andrea: That’s right!

Mew Two: Oh.

Giovanni: That is why I have an entire section of my house to hide from her in.

Mew Two: That’s terrible.

Giovanni: You try raising a teenager without a good place to hide. Then you’ll see why I wanted it.

Mew Two: No thank you. What are you going to show us next?

Andrea: Lets go to the place I can’t go!

Giovanni: You know where it is, and you’ve gone in before.

Andrea: Not while you were there hiding from me.

Giovanni: If you got to go in then, it wouldn’t really make much sense for me to have it, now would it?

Andrea: I suppose.

Giovanni: Exactly. But I suppose that’s a good place to go. Follow me.

(They leave Andrea’s room and go back towards the entry hall.)

Mew Two: What’s over in that part of the house?

Giovanni: My room and my study.

(They pass the entry hall and continue down the hall. This part of the house seems to be much darker than the rest of it.)

Mew Two: You don’t like windows, do you?

Giovanni: Not especially. I find sunlight to be rather annoying.

(They continue walking. Once they reach the area that has doors to go to things, there is a man sitting in a chair.)

Giovanni: This is George. It is his job to keep Andrea out.

Andrea: I have the best father ever, don’t I (sarcasm)?

Mew Two: He means well, Andrea.

Andrea: Of course (sarcasm). Well, this is where I leave. See? I’m even considerate enough to leave on my own. Can I have a pool now?

Giovanni: Fine. Now go call that kid you hang out with. What’s his name...

Andrea: Davis?

Giovanni: Yeah.

Andrea: What ever. Thanks for saying yes finally! When are you going to get it?

Giovanni: Yeah, sure. Later. Go.

Andrea: Okay. Bye!

(She turns around and runs back the way they came from. The others continue into the dark hall. Giovanni stops after a short walk and opens a door. He turns on the light and they walk in.)

Giovanni: This is the study. There’s a chair and a desk and books.

Mew Two: Wow. The way you described that was so fascinating (sarcasm).

Giovanni: What’s that’s about all I have in here.

Mew Two: Did you cover the windows?

Giovanni: I got heavy curtains that would block out the sun. I only open them at night and sometimes when it’s raining.

Mew Two: You know that not getting any sun is bad for you, right?

Giovanni: I get sun sometimes. Why do you think have a beach house?

Mew Two: Okay...

(They turn around and leave the study. They continue down the hall until they reach some large doors at the end. We can assume that this would be the master bedroom.)

Mew Two: You know, this part of your house closely resembles the haunted mansion that was in the horror movie Lightning and I watched the other day.

Giovanni: Good. That will keep people away. I don’t like people.

(He opens the doors and they go inside. He turns on the light to reveal a really plain looking master bedroom.)

Mew Two: I take it you designed this room on your own.

Giovanni: I come here to sleep. Why should it be nicely decorated?

Mew Two: I don’t know. It’s just that most people like to have every room in their homes nicely decorated.

Giovanni: I’m not most people.

Mew Two: I noticed.

Giovanni: Well, as you can see there isn’t much to this room. The closet is over there and the bathroom is off that way. It isn’t nearly as complicated as some of the other rooms. Namely, Andrea’s.

Mew Two: As long as you like it, I guess.

Giovanni: Well, lets go take a look downstairs.

(They leave the room and head towards the main staircase. They find Andrea sitting on the top of the stairs on the phone.)

Andrea: (into the phone) Really!? (pause) Shut up! (Pause) That is so awesome! (Pause) Hold on a second. (To Giovanni) There you are, daddy! Can I go to T.K.’s party today?

Giovanni: His party?

Andrea: Yeah. He and his brother are having a party and they wanted to invite me!

Giovanni: Who is going to be at this party?

Andrea: I don’t know. Davis and Ken and I think Madison. And some of Matt’s friends.

Giovanni: And Matt is...

Andrea: T.K.’s older brother.

Giovanni: How much older?

Andrea: 4 years.

Giovanni: Why would I let you go to a party with a bunch of trouble making 18 year olds.

Andrea: because I’m going to talk to my friends.

Giovanni: Well, I suppose you can go. But don’t stay too late and try to stay away from those older kids.

Andrea: Sure! Whatever you want, daddy! Thanks a lot! (Into the phone) I’ll see you in a little while, Davis. (Pause) Okay. Bye!

(She runs down the stairs and down a hall out of sight. As Giovanni and Mew Two begin to go down the stairs, they hear a familiar voice at the bottom)

Kem: Look at that! You could almost win father of the year, Vanni!

Giovanni: (stopping on the stairs) What are you doing here?

Kem: Lightning and I were in the neighborhood and thought we would stop by.

Lightning: What’s up, guys? How is the show going?

Mew Two: (reaching the bottom of the stairs) It’s going well, actually. Giovanni was just giving us a tour of the house.

Kem: Fun. What did we miss upstairs?

Mew Two: Andrea’s rooms... Giovanni’s room and his study...

Kem: Does he hide weapons of mass destruction in his room?

Mew Two: Not that I saw.

Giovanni: Actually, Kem, I keep those in the basement. (Sarcasm)

Kem: I knew it! I knew you had those!

Lightning: Where are you going now?

Giovanni: We’re going to look around down here. I would invite you, but I’m sure you have already taken the liberty of inviting yourselves.

Kem: You got it! So, does his room have any windows?

Mew Two: It had at least 3, but they all had really heavy drapes covering them.

Kem: Someone likes things dark. You wouldn’t be able to tell that from down here, though.

(They go down a long hall way. It leads to the back of the house. There, they find a large room with lots of windows.)

Giovanni: This is the sun room. Mother likes to come in here when she visits.

Kem: So you built it for your mom? How nice!

Giovanni: Yes. If you come this way, you’ll see the pool room.

(They follow him across the sun room to a glass door. On the other side is a large swimming pool.)

Lightning: Wow... That’s a big pool.

Giovanni: Yes.

Kem: Is that a waterfall!?

Giovanni: It is. Andrea wanted that.

(They go inside. The room is really hot and smells like chlorine.)

Giovanni: Ugh. The smell is very strong today. Oh! They just changed the water. Of course it is.

Mew Two: How often do you have to change the water?

Giovanni: The guy that put it in recommended that I change it once every 4 months. I change it ever other week.

Kem: Why so often?

Giovanni: I don’t want Andrea or one of her friends to get some disease from the water.

Lightning: That’s a lot of water to be changing every other week.

Giovanni: It is, but I’d rather pay for that than for a hospital visit.

Kem: I suppose. How deep is the pool?

Giovanni: The deepest spot is over by the waterfall. It’s 12 feet deep there.

Kem: Is it so those kids can jump off the waterfall?

Giovanni: It is, actually.

Kem: I knew it! Little kids are so predictable.

Mew Two: What’s that gate over there?

(He points to the other end of the pool near the waterfall.)

Giovanni: That goes to the outdoor pool.

(He takes them to another glass door that goes outside. There’s a little stream leading from the gate in the indoor pool to the outdoor pool.)

Kem: Neat! It’s like a little river!

Giovanni: Yes.

Kem: Why is there a gate?

Giovanni: To keep Andrea’s indoor pool stuff inside.

Lightning: Like pool toys and stuff?

Giovanni: Yes. I don’t want dirt in the indoor pool, so she has separate stuff for both.

Kem: If you opened the gate, could you slide down into the outside pool?

Giovanni: Yes. That’s why they are connected. It’s a water slide.

Kem: Awesome! I want to come swim in your pool! It’s neat! Way cooler than our pool!

Mew Two: We have a pool?

Lightning: Yeah. That kiddy pool she got Thunder and Mew last summer.

Mew Two: Oh yeah.

Giovanni: Well, as long as you don’t bother me, you can swim here when ever you want.

Kem: Awesome!

Lightning: That doesn’t sound like you at all. Are you sick?

Giovanni: No. If someone uses the pool, I’ll feel lees like I’m wasting money.

Mew Two: Doesn’t Andrea use it?

Giovanni: Sure, but it’s rather large for one person.

Kem: Well, we’ll put it to good use then.

Giovanni: Okay... Any way, this one here is the outdoor pool.

(He opens the door and leads them outside. This pool has a waterfall, too, and is surrounded by lots of trees and plants. It is the same shape as the indoor pool, but is a lot smaller.)

Kem: Awwwww.... This one is pretty!

Giovanni: This pool isn’t used nearly as much as the indoor pool. In fact, it’s only here for the slide.

Mew Two: There are a lot of plants out here.

Giovanni: Yes.

Lightning: You like plants?

Giovanni: Sure. They look much nicer than cement.

Kem: I agree.

Mew Two: Where does that go?

(He points to a stream leading away from the pool)

Giovanni: It flows through the gardens. Andrea wanted a river and that was the best we could come up with.

Kem: Cool! Your house is neat, Vanni. Well, the outside is neat, any way.

Lightning: Yeah. From what I’ve seen, there are parts of the inside that could use some work.

Giovanni: It’s fine the way it is. I’m the one who lives here, so the only opinion that matters is mine.

Kem: What ever you say, dear. So, what else is there to look at around here?

Giovanni: You didn’t see all of the inside if you want to go back in there. Or you can look around out here. There isn’t much of anything other than that.

Kem: I have seen boring mansions before and they all had boring gardens. Don’t you have something cool to show us?

Giovanni: Well, I’m actually a very boring person, so no I don’t. I’m so sorry to disappoint you. (Sarcasm)

Kem: (ignoring his sarcasm) Awwwww... That’s okay. (Pause) Hey! I’m really thirsty. Do you have anything to drink around here? Preferably something that isn’t poisoned.

Giovanni: For you? No.

(Kem glares at him)

Giovanni: I’m kidding. I guess you can have something to drink.

(They go back inside the house to the sitting room where he interviewed Mega Man and his crew. His crew... That’s so lame...)

Kem: Hey! I thought that sounded cool!

(You would.)

Kem: You know what!?

Mew Two: Don’t fight with the Narrator, Kem.

Kem: Fine.

(So any way, they all go back to the living room and sit down. Giovanni asks Norbert to bring Kem some water.)

Kem: My mom has a useless room like this in her house.

Giovanni: Useless?

Kem: Yeah. It has nice furniture so no one goes in there. But I suppose everything is nice in your house so you have to come in here...

Giovanni: Well, the idea was for people to use this room.

Kem: Good.

(They sit in silence. Lightning wraps his tail around his arm, Mew Two looks around at the different wall decorations, Kem looks at her nails, and Giovanni sits there with his arms crossed. After a minute or so, Norbert brings Kem her water.)

Kem: Thanks!

Giovanni: Does anyone else need anything?

Lightning and Mew Two: No.

(They sit in silence for a few more minutes.)

Kem: You want to just end the show?

Mew Two: We could.

Giovanni: Finally...

Lightning: Hey! So, what’s on for tomorrow?

Mew Two: (Making a clip board appear in his paws) Tomorrow, Thunder and Mew will be interviewing Tidus, Lulu, and Auron from Final Fantasy X, Michelle, Giovanni-

Giovanni: Why?

Mew Two: Because you got out of your last interview. They will also be talking to Kaiba, Shiro, and Gene. And I suppose they will talk to anyone else that shows up as well.

Giovanni: That’s it, then?

Lightning: That’s it.

Kem: Now all you have to do is say ‘thanks’ and ‘bye.’

Giovanni: *sigh* Ten I’m done with this whole mess?

Mew Two: Yep.

Giovanni: Fine. Than you very much for watching The Pikachu and Mew Show.

Kem: Bye...

Giovanni: *sigh* Good bye.

Kem, Lightning, and Mew Two: Bye!

That’s it for today’s episode of The Pikachu and Mew Show. Tune in tomorrow to see Thunder and Mew interview some great guests. Good night everyone.
