NODLE SEASON 2

EPISODE 8: CAPI THE COMPUTER ASSISTANT

(Capi stands there in the parking lot, in front of a Ames; an old department store with a green stripe on it and a white glowing sign on it. He looks down at his shopping list and reads it;
EGGS
WATER
ICE CREAM
COUCH
He then heads in. After being hit by the 90's ish atmosphere, he goes to get groceries
Cut to Capi at a couch, his cart is filled with ice cream, water, and an egg carton. He gets out his shopping list and crosses out Couch and proceeds to try and pick up the couch. ...no use. He forgets he's a cat and sighs.)
???: Need some help?
(Capi looks over at a pig, which is towering over him wearing an Ames shirt. Capi nods and the pig picks up the couch and sets it in the cart. Capi pushes his cart away.)
Pig: Have a good one!
(Capi smiles and nods back at the pig. Capi goes to the checkout to check his stuff out. There's two employees by one of the checkout counters, a pig and a cat.)
Cat: Heh,,, wow. How'd you get a full ass couch in your cart?
Capi, putting his groceries on the conveyor: ...someone helped me
Cat: I bet they did you short as shit!
Pig, getting on the counter to reach the couch and scan it: Max shut up this is why the boss is thinking about firing you!!
(Turns to Capi)
I am very sorry sir
(Taps on cash register)
Anyways.. $20.95
(Capi gives her the cash and she takes it. Cut to him walking away with the cart.)
Pig: Thank you sir!!
Cat: Whatchu mean I'm getting fired.
(Meanwhile,, Capi puts his groceries in his car and drives off! He looks around at his old town and feels the breeze. He cant believe he's here again, but he is. And he's happy about it, purring, driving, and feeling the spring breeze. Until he sees a wire fence up ahead!! He slams on the break, hoping the car would stop. But then—
CRASH!!!
He looks ahead at his torn up car. And the seemingly indestructible forcefield over the entire road, blocking off the way back to his old house. He gets out wondering what to do.. he sees an alleyway. A dark, spooky looking alleyway, with a faded pentagram in the middle. It's giving some off vibes but he decides to go down it anyways. He opens the trunk and grabs his groceries. He walks in the alleyway and sees candles all around. He then sees a weasel hedgehog creature go towards him with his claws!
After being scratched, everything goes black. ...until, he is seen in a dark store. He starts to panic, he can't move!! He then notices the people outside. They look like... Ames workers???
They come inside and turn the lights on. They go straight to him.)
Manager: Now... since it's New Years I thought I'd add something new to the store. Everybody... meet Capi! Our new computer assistant!
Capi: Bebeep!
Worker: What does he do?
Manager: He's a customer assistant! Like if no one's around then he's there.
(Everyone nods.)
Anyways!! Lex, Lenny, I gotta job for both of you. Whoever works with the most customers today gets a raise!
(The two pigs look at him)
Lenny: Wait really??
Manager: Mhm! You two are my best workers so
Lenny: Hell yeah! I'll do my best.
Manager: Nice nice.. now everyone, get to work!! I'll be in my office if ya need me.
(The people drift apart, except Lex, who's standing at the counter with Capi.)
Lex: Capi..
Capi, looking at her: Bebeep...?
Lex: You don't mind helping me work with more customers do you?
(Capi nods no.)
Great! Yeah.. twos better than one I suppose heheh.
(A customer comes up to them with groceries a montage then starts of Capi, Lex, and Lenny working with customers. Later... Capi is seen at the counter. Lex walks up to him.)
Lex: Capi guess what!!! WE WON!!! WE GOT THE RAISE!!!
Capi: BEBEEP!! BEBEEP!!
Lex: HELL YEAH!! Great job to both of us Cap!
(The pig holds up her fist. He gets confused until he realizes he can control the handheld scanner next to him! He takes the scanner and fist bumps with that. Lenny is seen in the background glaring at both of them. The manager walks over.)
Manager: Actually... since we're celebrating new year's, we're having it here!
Lex: Why's that?
Manager: Well, Capi's here! We should get to know him a bit better right?
Lex: Oh. Alright!
(Transition happens from day to night, and a party starts! Corey Taylor is there too and Lenny's a dj now there's like dancing n shit. Anyways, the Manager walks up to Capi.)
Manager: Hey Cap! You know how to control the lights right?
(Capi nods)
Good! Good. Me and Corey's gonna be singin here in a bit so try your best with them lights!
(Capi smiles and nods.)
Corey: Whats that...
Manager: Oh this is Capi! Just installed him this week
Capi, waving: Bebeep!
Corey: ....it's sentient?
Manager: Mhm! He's a computer assistant. He can—
(Beeper goes off in Manager's pocket.)
Manager: Oh! CMON COREY BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT!!
(Runs off, Corey follows him. Manager turns back to Capi)
CAPI LIGHTS!!!
(Capi turns the lights off and Lex sits down next to Capi. Enter Sandman starts playing. Capi turns the lights on and makes them change colors as a full ass musical number happens while the manager and Corey sings it.)
Lex: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
(Lenny goes fucking beserk on the guitar as the manager leaves the sPotlight. Lenny stops as Corey picks him up onto his shoulder.)
Corey: HAPPY FUCKIN NEW YEAR!!!!
(Everyone cheers. Capi goes ballistic with the lights.)
Manager, with his mic: HELL YEAH COREY THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TONIGHT!!!
(Capi turns the lights normal.)
Corey: Not a problem dude! Uhm... since it's almost midnight, I wanna make a last confession before the year ends. Singing and making music has been my passion ever since I was like... 9. And it makes me happy to see people enjoy what I do. I pour everything into music and cuz of that I've been really thinking about starting a band so everyone can hear my music. So,, yknow hopefully I carry that out next year!!
(Crowd cheers)
Manager: Sounds cool Corey! I think we'd all love to see you carry out your music to a wider audience.
(Corey nods in agreement.)

(The manager walks off, so does Corey and Lenny. The manager walks towards Capi and Lex.)
Lex: THAT WAS AWEOSMEE!!!
Manager: I'm glad!! I'm glad you liked it! And Capi,
(Capi looks at him.)
Thank you for the light work!
Capi, smiling: Bebeep!
Manager: I'm gonna go get a drink.
(Lex nods at the manager as he walks away. She then turns to Capi.)
Lex: Cant believe it's... 1992 already. Heh.
Capi: Bebeep.
Lex: Gonna do a lota shit this year Capi. Gonna get a lot done! You and me!
Capi, nodding in agreement: Bebeep!!
(Lex laughs. A cut then happens to a zoom out of the building. 10 years pass as trees grow next to the parking lot, and the seasons change.)
(Basically; 10 years later.... Capi is seen sleeping and Lex looks like she bouta pass out.)
Lenny: Man... we're not getting that many customers anymore.
Lex: Yeahhhh.... remember when we first got Capi? We had loads of people here...
Lenny: Yeahhh..
Speaker: Everyone... meet me at the front. This is important.
Lex: Oh no...
(Everyone walks up to Lex and Capi, even the manager.)
Manager: Now,, I—
Employee: Hold on a minute.. quick question? What's up with the less money recently??
Lenny: Yeahh... you don't seem to pay us anymore.
Manager: Listen... we barely get customers anymore. I've been wanting to talk to you guys about this but... I think the lack of customers.. is why the company's going bankrupt. Every other Ames store is gonna shut down. That means WE have to shut down..
Lex: Wh-what?? ..but what about Capi?
(Capi wakes up)
We shouldn't just... leave him here.
Manager: Im afraid we're gonna have to. We can't tear him out and sell him out it'll cost too much and I don't have all that money. I guess... the best we can do is just pack up and leave this place how it is. Everyone go pack up. Meanwhile...
(pulls out a newspaper)
I'll be here if anyone needs anything.
(Lex jumps out of the cash counter and sees Capi is awake.)
Lex: Capi.. you Heard- all that right?
(Capi nods no)
Basically.. We're gonna have to shut down. The company has money problems.
Capi: !!!! Bebeebebeebebeebebeep!?????
Lex: I know,, I don't want you to be stuck either. I'm sorry...
(Lex hugs the credit card machine.)
I'm so sorry Capi.. You've been such a great friend. I'll miss you...
(Capi takes the scanner and hugs her with it. He then sees Lenny walk up to them.)
Lenny: Why are you hugging a credit card machine...
Lex: Lenny.. it's been 10 years. Capi's sentient like us. Hes been my friend for years.
Lenny: That's like saying a Game Boy is sentient.
Lex: ...whatever.
(Lex and Lenny walk away to help pack up. Capi watches everyone as they pack up and the store is emptied out. Later... the sun is setting. He sees everyone except Lex leave the store, she walks to Capi and hugs him.)
Lex: Goodbye Capi... I'll miss you. I'll miss you so much.
Capi: ....Bebeep....
Manager: Lex Cmon! We're running out of time!
(Lex gets up. She looks back at Capi and then walks away. Capi watches all of them leave and shut the door. Capi is now alone, even the sun is leaving him, leaving him in a cold and dark building.)
(Next Morning... Capi is seen sleeping. Until- CRASH!! Capi looks over and sees someone has broken in. They get out a grafiti can and start spraying the walls.)
Capi: BEBEEP! BEBEEP!! BEBEEP!!!
(The guy looks over and sees the credit card machine call out to him. Capi then breaks out of the counter and walks towards him. The guy looks at Capi in shock.)
Capi: BEBEEP BEBEEP BEBEEP!!!
Guy: ?????
Capi: BEBEEP BEBEEP!!
(The guy looks around, but then he spawns a portal and jumps in it. (Leaving Capi alone once again.)
.....
(One of the back doors open. Capi walks towards the light and goes in it.)
(It's a slide! Finally Capi is free!! He slides down it looking around at the bright blue atmosphere. Until..
CRASH!!
...he's back in the building, but it's even moldier and more broken down then before. Capi tries to call out to some people passing by. They then walk in. One of them is a tall ferret looking dude, and the other one is a short raccoon. They both appear to be holding cameras and filming.)
Capi: BEBEEP BEBEEP BEBEEP BEBEEP BEBEEP BEBEEP BEBEEP!!!!
(The raccoon walks up to Capi.)
Raccoon: Wally look at this.
(The ferret looks)
This is the old uhm.. an old mascot they used to have.
Capi: BEBEEP BEBEEP BEBEEP BEBEEP BEBEEP!!!
Wally: Wow. I wonder how it's still working.
Racoon: Yeah. I dunno. Something just,,, always striked me odd about that thing.
Wallie: Hm.
Capi: BEBEEP BEBEEP BEBEEP BEBEEP!!!
(The two walk off to the rest of the building, but Capi is still calling to them. They film the building for a couple minutes and then walk out.)
Capi: BEBEEP.... Bebeep.........
(Capi feels defeated... he knows no one will notice him. No one knows hes sentient. But then.... His vision goes blurry and his spirit separates from his body! He walks over to the window and calls out. He notices his voice is still connected to the body, but he still calls out. The glass door then opens.
He looks over. The parking lot is gone. Everything ahead is gone. Only thing there is a slide, right in front of the door. He gets on it and starts to slide down. He looks around at the colorful atmosphere, and the flat clouds. It's almost like nothing is real anymore.
CRASH!!
He's back in the building. He sighs, knowing this is his fate. He'll never experience the outside world again and will be stuck in a credit card machine for eternity.)
?????: Man.... Looks like ass cheeks in there!
Capi looks up. He sees a couple blurs in the window. A pink one, and two black ones.
Capi: BEBEEP.... BEBEEP......
?????: I hear him... I'm getting him outa there!
(The pink blur then appears in front of him and knocks him off the counter! Capi then wakes up.
The impact of the blur woke him up. He sits up and looks down at his paws. He's a demon! He looks around at his room and sees Zeus on the Xbox. He then remembers the life he has now as Zeus looks at him.)
Zeus: You ok dude?
Capi: Yeah... I'm alright.. had a weird dream but I'm ok.
(Zeus nods)
Capi, scooting over to see the tv: Whatcha playin?
Zeus: GTA
Capi: Can I play?
Zeus: Sure.
(Capi gets up and grabs the spare Xbox controller and joins Zeus in GTA.)
