We Don't Talk About Issac

[Mid day, inside a large house on the edge of a city. ISSAC was chopping a fish in the kitchen, preparing lunch for him and his brothers. TOM was helping the best he could, while GRIFF was in their living room playing video games.]

Tom: [Hands seasoning to Issac] And here you go. Hopefully I uh, got those right... [Nervous chuckle] Did I get those right?

Issac: .... [Inspects the seasoning] Issac approves. This is correct.

Tom: Ah- R-Really? Aha well yayy! I'm glad I did something right for a change.

Issac: ... Tom does things right all the time. Issac thinks you should give yourself more credit.

Tom: I-I do? [Smiles happily] Wah thanks bro! I'm glad to hear that!

Issac: [Nods, chopping up vegetables]

Tom: U-Um. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Issac: .... Maybe check the frier. It should be about done

Tom: Wah! Okay, I can do that! [Flails around, running to the frier]

Issac: [Watches out of the corner of his eyes, sliding the vegetables into a bowl]

Tom: [Looks in] Hmm. It looks like it's done. Do you want me to turn it off and strain the fries?

Issac: ... Issac says that's fine. Just dump them onto the plate that Issac has prepared when you finish.

Tom: O-Okay... [Carefully strains the fries, dumping them onto the plate] There... woah! [Catches a stray fry] Haha. Tried to get away didja? Ha! You failed!

Issac: Stop playing with the food Tom. Bring the plate over and set it next to the bowl Issac just placed.

Tom: Wah! S-Sorry... [Brings the plate over, setting it down] I-Is that it?

Issac: Hmm... Cooked Fish, Cooked Vegetables, Fries. Issac thinks this is everything. [Small smile] Thank you for the help Tom, Issac appreciates it

Tom: O-Oh! You're most welcome! [Bows] Do you want me to go and get Griff?

Issac: [Nods]

Tom: Okay!

-Exit Tom-

Issac: [To self] Issac doesn't want to clean. Issac hopes Griff didn't make a mess... if he did then Issac will get ax.

-Enter Tom-
-Enter Griff-

Griff: Yo! This food smells awesome! You bros really outdid yourselves! [Takes a seat]

Tom: Ah- It was mainly all Issac. I just uh, helped out...

Issac: No. Issac thinks Tom was a great help. [Slides over prepared plates] Now eat up. Issac wants his brothers to enjoy their meals. [Forces Tom to sit down]

Tom: Wah! Okay okay! No need to be so pushy, geez.

Issac: [Silently exits]

-Exit Issac-

Griff: Wonder where he's going

Tom: [Glares] Probably to see if you didn't leave a mess, because you ALWAYS do

Griff: Hey! Not always!

Tom: 90% of the time

Griff: I- Okay fair enough. But I cleaned up this time!

Tom: [Sarcasm] Really? Woooooow the world must be ending [Rests chin in hand] What drove you to actually do the right thing this time?

Griff: [Sweatdrops] I uh, really didn't want to be chased by an ax... [Nervous laugh]

Tom: Ah- Makes sense. Issac can be scary at times...

-Enter Issac-

Issac: Issac can be what at times?

Tom & Griff: [Unison] Nothing!

Issac: [Narrows eyes and sits down] ... Issac thinks you both are being suspicious... but Issac doesn't really care this time. [Starts to eat his food calmly and unfazed]

Tom & Griff: [Blinks and looks at each other, relieved]

If you haven't noticed, this is based on We Bare Bears!
We've been working with playwriting in class and this is something I made a few days ago!
We were supposed to change the setting of a show, book, story, pretty much anything, and keep the main plot. Of course I chose We Bare Bears, since it's my favorite non-anime show. The bears are humans and living on the edge of a city! Griff is Grizz, Issac is Ice Bear and Tom is Panda! And yes, these are the names of the human 'versions' of them from the episode called 'Panda's Friend'.
