A Slice of Summer - Chapter 2: Lending a Hand - Episode 1

(Captain) and the crew rest up after their long and exhausting journey when a strange noise suddenly wakes Lyria. Kaz is watering morning glories and invites Sara and Lyria to help.

---

(Captain) and the crew sleep soundly after a long journey and day at the beach.

At early dawn, Sara wakes in the gloom.

Sara: Hm? What's that sound?

Graphos: ...

Sara: That's right, Graphos. We're near the sea, so that's the sound of the... waves, I think they're called?

Lyria: Mmrm... Sara? Why are you up so early?

Sara: Oh, I'm sorry, Lyria. Did I wake you?

Lyria: No, it's fine... Yawn...

Lyria: Did you hear something just now? It sounded like it came from outside.

Sara: Wait, Lyria. I'll go with you!

Lyria and Sara go around to the back of the beach house, where they find Kaz with a watering can.

Sara: Good morning, Kaz.

Kaz: Oh, hello there, you two! You're up early! Sleep well?

Lyria: Very! What are you doing up so early, Kaz?

Kaz: I'm growing some morning glories for shade. Just doing my daily watering duties before the sun comes up.

Sara: So these plants on the wall are called morning glories?

Kaz: That's right. See the buds? They'll be blooming soon.

Lyria: Wow, you're right! There are buds everywhere!

Sara: Um, Kaz? Would it be okay if I helped you water them?

Kaz: Hm? Sure! The watering can's mighty heavy, though, so be careful.

Sara: Right! Rgh...

Sara nearly falls backward from the sheer weight of the watering can. Lyria quickly jumps in to help.

Lyria: There we go! We have to work together on this one, Sara!

Sara: Yeah! Thanks, Lyria!

Sara and Lyria water the morning glories together.

Sara: Is that enough, Kaz?

Kaz: Yup, that should do it! Keep it up, and they'll be blooming beautifully in no time!

Sara: Really? In that case, I want to help every day!

Lyria: Me too! The more flowers we can help reach their full potential, the better!

Kaz: I'm sure the flowers would love that! See you bright and early tomorrow morning?

Lyria & Sara: Yes!

And so, Lyria and Sara began taking care of Kaz's morning glories...
