3 scenes, 61 lines
1. Scene 1
26 linesThis island is absolutely enormous... You can see so far away from here. If only there was a simpler way to get around the island. That would make life so much easier.
Wait!
Whoa! What the?
Oh no! It's gone! What're we gonna do?
What's going on?
Oh! It's Aldo!
Yay! Aldo! I bet he could help! You've gotta be a man among men, right? So we've got a favor to ask!
Well I don't know about that, but if there's anything I can do to help, just ask.
Well, um...
What is it?
Don't laugh, okay? See, the thing is...I wet the bed.
I told you not to laugh!
I didn't want Mama to find out, so we all snuck out here to dry the sheets.
The sheets dried real quick, but when we tried to put them away, they flew off to higher ground.
Ah, so that was your sheet that flew past just now?
I did say he should've just told Mama the truth... But I get how he feels.
Yeah, it takes real courage to tell Mama you've wet the bed.
So you want me to fetch the sheet for you?
I knew you'd catch on quick! Will you do it?
Sure. But I have one condition. After you get the sheet, you need to tell Marie the truth.
Huh? B-But...
I know it's embarrassing, but it's not like you did anything bad. Marie won't be angry with you. In fact, I'm sure she'd appreciate you being honest with her.
Fine. I promise.
Good boy. Okay, wait there. I'll go and fetch your sheet.
2. Scene 2
26 linesNat, I brought you your sheet.
Whoa! I knew it! You really are a man among men!
I mean, I don't think there's anything particularly manly about fetching a sheet...
Nat, you remember what you promised Aldo?
Ugh...
We'll come with you. Now go apologize to Mama!
Nat, what's wrong?
Mama...I...I'm sorry. I erm... I wet the bed this morning.
You wet the bed?
Teehee, so that's what this was all about? There's nothing to worry about, these things happen.
But what have you been doing with the dirty sheets all this time? It's getting late already.
W-Well...
I'm sorry, Mama!
L-Liam?
We tried to hide Nat's sheets from you.
Me too. I'm sorry, Mama!
Yeah, I'm sorry...
You guys?
That's not how it happened! I asked them to help me!
Don't worry, Nat. It's fine. Same goes for the rest of you. I'm just happy you told me the truth.
Mama!
Besides, you couldn't have timed it better. I just made you some new sheets. It was time for a change. I made some for everyone. I hope you like them!
Yay! It's my favorite pattern! The one from before! Thanks, Mama!
Heheh, I'm glad you like it.
Looks like everything worked out well after all, Nat.
Yeah! Thanks, Aldo! I wanna thank you properly! Come meet me outside later!
3. Scene 3
9 linesHere you go! I heard you like collecting stuff. Hope it's useful!
Huh? Is this...?
Don't worry! We gave it a proper cleaning first!
Thanks. I'll put it to good use.
What am I supposed to do with this sheet?
It was a gift, after all... Perhaps I could use it as a material for something?
Oh! I think I could use this for a hang glider!
I've got all the other materials I need! I should find an open space and try to assemble it!
Haha. I guess Nat's bed-wetting turned out in my favor!
