Stranger, Help Me

SERENITY

"I can't believe a week has passed and this is happening. This is happening!"

"Excited, are we?"

"... Um, yeah, a little... Is that bad?"

"Of course not. It's awesome!"

"..."

"Are you ready?"

"I'm standing right next to you, Gale, you don't need to call me anymore."

"Tradition!"

"Tradition? Really? We just look weird."

"Don't laugh at me! Well, here we are! After all the fantastic trees and concrete and that sweet shop you must go to-"

"Gale."

"Right. Welcome to your new home, Evangeline!"

Beep, beep...

"Oh my... It's...wonderful...and big and...wow."

"Dear!"

"L-Lulu! Um... right?"

"Come here, you!"

"Miss you two, mum, so much."

"Oh, don't be jealous. I missed you too, clearly."

"Thank you so much, Lulu. Thank you both so much..."

"Don't cry..."

"Oh, dear... We're happy to have you!"

"Two sobbing messes. Just my luck."

"Honey!"

"I-uh-I mean, two beautiful women to which I both dearly love."

"There we go! Let's show you the house, shall we? Wait. Love?"

"Yes, mum."

"Grandkids?"

"Don't even."

"Why is that the first thing that comes to your head?"

"Can't hurt to try."

"...the house?"

"Aw, you're so red, Evangeline."

"Am not..."

"The house, the house! Bring her stuff in, honey, and I'll show you the house, deary."

"Alright, alright. Good luck, Evangeline. I guarantee you'll love it here."

"I know."

"..."

"..."

"Inside! Stop kissing!"

"..."

"Ahahah! Look how red you are! Off you go, Evangeline. Your room is down the hall from mine."

"Gale, honey..."

"F- no! Wait- what. No. Why would you- I- hold on- No, mum! Just NO."

"Just putting it out there."

"What are you talking about?"

"..."

"..."

"..?"

"N-nothing. Get inside already, you two. I'll see you after your tour, Evangeline."

"Still a little nervous...are you sure it's okay? I just... It's happening so...fast."

"You're strong. You've been through so much and made it. So this is something you'll be able to do. And this is your sunshine on all your cloudy days. You deserve this and a lot more. Besides, you've got me to support you, always, and I've got you."

"You did this all for me even though I was a stranger..."

"No matter who anyone is, Evangeline, you help them if they are in pain, stranger, enemy, friend, family. You do everything in your power to ensure their happiness."

"Become a philosopher."

"Ahaha, get inside now, beautiful, before the sun sets."

"Okay, but beautiful is a little..."

"Don't deny what you are."

"Stop..."

"Such a cute blusher."

"Gale!"

"Okay, I'm sorry. Come on, we've got to get out of this garden. You'll be fine, I promise."

"O-okay..."

"Gale?"

"Yeah?"

"You are my happiness."

"And you, mine."

"And mine is my husband! Now, before the next year passes, inside!"
