Yes folks, it's the return of 'How Stravo Got His Groove Back' style humor! I hope you all enjoy this one as much as you did the last!
Zaia's Babysitting Adventure
PART 1: Mixed Marriages Lead To…
*OPEN UP on ZAIA'S house, early afternoon. The sun is shining. Birds chirp. It's a typical nice day. CUT TO inside the house, where ZAIA is in the living room, lounging on a sofa, reading a book and humming to herself. The phone rings and she reaches for it*
ZAIA: Hello? Oh, hi! What? Um...oh, sorry but I can't. Yeah, I'm busy tonight. Sorry hon, maybe next time. Bye!
*she hangs up and goes back to reading. A moment later, the doorbell rings. She frowns and looks at her watch*
ZAIA: Wow, they're early. Hope nothing's wrong…
*she stands, goes to the door and opens it to reveal KUJA, who is currently cradling what appears to be a large CATERPILLAR*
KUJA: Hey.
ZAIA: Uh, what are you doing here? *a pause* And what's with the big plushie?
CATERPILLAR: Chi!
*ZAIA leaps back about five feet*
ZAIA: YAAAH! IT'S ALIVE!
*CATERPILLAR begins making crying sounds and squirming*
ZAIA: GET IT OUT! KILL IT!
KUJA: Hey now-
*ZAIA grabs a nearby lamp and begins brandishing it. KUJA begins panicking*
KUJA: STOP IT! CALM DOWN!
ZAIA: GET THAT BIG UGLY BUG OUT OF HERE!
KUJA: *furious* MY DAUGHTER IS NOT AN UGLY BUG!
*utter fucking silence*
ZAIA: ............what.
*KUJA spends a moment calming the CATERPILLAR, clearly just restraining anger*
KUJA: Sh, honey, the lady isn't going to scream at you anymore, your daddy'll take care of everything, now be a good girl and be quiet, alright?
*ZAIA watches in morbid fascination*
KUJA: Now then, shall we try this again?
ZAIA: Explanation. Now.
KUJA: Zaia, I'd like you to meet Aletia. Say hello, sweetie.
ALETIA: Chi!
ZAIA: Aletia?
KUJA: Aletia Oxygala. It's a kind of moth found throughout New York state. Her mother liked the name.
ZAIA: And that is?
*KUJA turns*
KUJA: Come on in sweetheart!
*a WOMAN with short blond hair steps into the picture. Large moth wings sprout from her back, a set of feathery antennae adorn her head, and her eyes are a multifaceted blue*
KUJA: Zaia, I'd like you to meet Mothra-tan.
ZAIA: Er, hello? *she shivers visibly*
*MOTHRA-TAN bows and chirps sweetly*
ZAIA: And...just how did you two meet?
KUJA: Well, Yosemite Bear was bored one day and used one of his big sci-fi thingamabobs to create a bunch of female humanoid Godzilla characters.
ZAIA: *obviously confused* Right.
KUJA: Well, MT and I hooked up, and-
ZAIA: Yeah, I get it. You wound up with this.
ALETIA: Chi?
ZAIA: *shudders and speaks quickly* Well, anyway, I'm very happy for you Kuja, I'm sure fatherhood'll suit you but can you please go and-
KUJA: Well, I was wondering something.
ZAIA: What?
KUJA: Could you take care of Aletia for a little while? MT and I had something come up that we need to take care of.
ZAIA: *horrified* I promised someone else I'd babysit tonight, so absolutely-
KUJA: Great! *he hands ALETIA over to ZAIA* She's not a picky eater so don't worry too much about that and we'll be back later tonight! Thanks, bye-bye!
*KUJA and MOTHRA-TAN quickly exit, closing the door behind them*
ZAIA: -not!
*a moment passes as ZAIA and ALETIA turn to stare at each other*
ALETIA: Chi?
*ZAIA shudders and sets her down*
ZAIA: When your dad comes back for you I swear I'm going to punch him so hard…
*she watches ALETIA crawl around the room and look around curiously, then suddenly shudders*
ZAIA: Well, at least you're not a loudmouth. *she turns and rubs the back of her neck* And if that isn't the weirdest family I've ever seen…
*doorbell. ZAIA opens it to find a man in power armor, a large white cat, and a two-foot tall, backpack-wearing GODZILLA with a rather large head standing at her front door*
TYPHONIS: Hello, Zaia!
SINGULAR QUARTET: Do you think you could help us with something?
CHIBI-ZILLA: Rrrrronk!
ZAIA: Spoke too soon. Spoke WAY too soon.
