AISHA hands the store cashier her card, he swipes it...
Chine!
STORE CASHIER
Here you go ma’am you have a nice day.
AISHA
Thank you, sir, you as well.
AISHA grabs her bags off the counter and walks out of the store.
AISHA pulls out her phone and texts in her group chat.
AISHA

Ding ALINA liked the message.
ALINA
Love to, I'll head over after my meeting.
RANELL
Can't make it to tonight's business, back home I have to handle, it next time.
AISHA
Ok, great, next time RANELL.
She puts her phone back in her pocket and starts walking home.
INT. AISHA’S HOUSE-KITCHEN-15 MINUTES LATER
AISHA washes her hands and thought to herself...
AISHA

is make the sweet bread, shouldn't take too long.
She pulls her phone back out looking back into the group chat.
AISHA
He never tells me if he's coming but always shows up with his sister and is always late. maybe I should just ask if he's coming.
AISHA texts INAS.
AISHA
Are you coming to dinner tonight with tazia?
She sits her phone down on the counter a walks to the living room sitting on the couch.
INT. AISHA’S HOUSE LIVING ROOM
After some time AISHA fell asleep waiting for INAS to text back and for ALINA to arrive.
Ding Dong the doorbell rings.
AISHA gets up yawning and walks to open the door.
Ding dong!
AISHA
Coming!
AISHA opens the door.
AISHA
Oh, hey ALINA how was your meeting?
ALINA
It was fine a little longer than necessary, but tomorrow I have to fly out to Miami for another one.
AISHA
Well come in I got drinks and dinner is almost ready.
ALINA and AISHA pour themselves a glass of wine and step out on the back porch.
EXT. AISHA’S HOUSE BACK PORCH
AISHA
How’s The Superhero gig coming along?
ALINA
Umm, it has its days, like last week this man threw a water bottle at me.
AISHA
Did it hit you!
ALINA
No, But I did throw it back.
AISHA
Did it hit them?
ALINA
No, they ducked, if I could only see then better I would’ve got them right in their face.
AISHA
Umm ok.
ALINA and AISHA laugh together.
Ding.
AISHA
Oh, ALINA, that's dinner.
ALINA and AISHA rush back to The kitchen
AISHA opens the oven and the smell of the food overflows the house.
ALINA
Omg, AISHA, that smells too good what is it?
AISHA
It's lamb with a side of stewed vegetables, I also have mashed potatoes.
ALINA
AISHA you know I love mashed potatoes!
AISHA
Who doesn't?
Ding dong.
AISHA
That must be INAS.
AISHA opens the front door and to her surprise, It wasn't INAS.
AISHA
Hello, What a surprise!
TEARLY
Yeah, I got off early so I decided to drop by.
ALINA
AISHA you didn’t tell me you were letting anyone come.
TEARLY
Oh, whatever.
TEARLY was to the refrigerator and grabs himself a beer.
AISHA
how's the job coming along, I hope you like it?
TEARLY
My job pays the bills with a whole lot to spare. Cheers for that.
TEARLY holds his beer up in celebration.
AISHA
Ok.
ALINA
Yeah, whatever.
TEARLY
Anyway, how’s Jaya?
Suddenly a multicolored cat poofs next to TEARLY.
TEARLY
Jezz, Jaya didn’t I tell you to stop doing that!
Tearly shouts at her.
Jaya
ahh, Tearly don't be a poor sport?
Tearly
wouldn't be saying that if Amitai
was here?
Aisha drops her glass scaring Jaya.
Alina
Aisha, are you ok?
Aisha interjects
AISHA
No, I'm fine, but I guess I should be a bit more careful.
Alina walks over to Aisha helping her pick up the broken glass.
ALINA
Tearly you know we don't talk about him.
Tearly
I mean why not?
Alina
Because...
Aisha
No, it's been long enough. I can't keep holding onto those feelings, he's gone now...
Aisha takes a deep breath.
Aisha
And that's all there is to it.
a subdual quietness enclosed the room.
Ding Dong
Jaya
well dam, who can that be?
Jaya opens the door and is immediately attacked by tazia (Ina's little sister).
tazia
oh my god, it's been so long!
tazia picks Jaya up instantly turning her back into her cat form.
Jaya
put me down NOW!
tazia
Awww, how could I, you are so cute.
Jaya
put me down human, my life is not for your amusement.
aISHA
tazia can you put her down she is extra grumpy today for some reason.
Jaya
no you're grumpy!
She meows loudly and opens a portal.
Jaya
ill be back when my food is ready Humans.
She walks into the portal with it closing behind her.
inas
Well, it's always a pleasure to see her.
ALINA
Shut up Inas.
tazia
I just wish she would be nicer.
tearly
Yeah, nowadays you're lucky if she doesn't take your hand off if you try to touch her.
ALINA
Yeah, she used to be affectionate, but that was long ago.
AISHA
Not that long ago, just for the past five years.
tazia
That's when Amitai left, isn't it?
Inas
Yeah.
TEARLY
Yeah, we used to get into a lot of cool stuff, like remember that time we fought that Gang from the Eastal?
inas
Oh, yeah I swore I was going to die.
Samraaj
and you were I had to rush you to the hospital!
Tearly Inas and Samraaj all burst out in laughter.
tazia
Eastal where is that at?
inas
It's a region east of where we are now just outside of The lands of Milk and Honey.
tazia
So Aisha I know you can Alina aren't' from here like how Inas and I are so where did you move from.
Aisha
umm, well Alina from the sun as we all know, but I didn't really have a home that I would go back to every night. I mean for a while I was a Queen but after that, I've been here with you all just exploring and living.
Samraaj
Do you mean just after you earned the title of The Killer environmentalist.
Aisha Punches him in back of his head causing it to instantly swell up.
Aisha
You call me that again or even spread that lie and I'll stuck the tree of life so far up your ass it'll stay there, even after your carcass rots away.
Samraaj takes a sip of his drink before trying to change the subject to something else.
Samraaj
But yes, Tazia on this Continent you have The Eastal plains, Central plain, The North, and The Wicked Lands. The Eastal Plain is the warmest one and is the closet to were we are now in the Central plains.
After SOME TIME everyone moves INTO the living room to EAT, DRINK, and just remising about the past.
INT. AISHA’S HOUSE LIVING ROOM
amongst the chatter tazia thanks Aisha for the meal and for having them over.
tazia
Hey, Alina and Aisha do you want to train with me?
Aisha chuckles
Aisha
isn't it a little late for that?
ALINA
not really it's only 9 o'clock now, but you're more of a morning person, aren't you?
AISHA
well yeah, but I'm not a party pooper why not make this fun, Inas Samraaj y'all should join us, or are you all scared of three girls?
Inas and Samraaj look at each other for a brief moment.
iNAS
Sure but I want to fight you, Aisha, Samraaj Can fight Alina.
Samraaj
Wait why do I have to fight Alina I want to Fight Aisha.
tazia
Alina, why are they acting like babies?
Alina
because they know Aisha tends to hold back in training, while I prefer to send them home just a little roasted.
Alina and Tazia look at check other and laugh.
Tearly
well, why don't I fight Alina and you two can fight Aisha and Tazia.
Inas
Well, I can't fight my sister so I guess I get Aisha.
Samraaj
Fine Tazia is easy picking for me.
EX: aISHA'S BACKYARD NIGHT
As everyone warmed up Alina told them the rules.
ALINA
Ok everyone here ARE the rules; no biting, no foul play, no weapons, you can not use anyone as a shield, you are not allowed to hide, and must be openly visible to everyone. Tazia you are the youngest so you get to choose who gets to fight first.
Tazia takes a moment to think about who's fighting who and immediately says.
tazia
I want to see Alina vs. Tearly!
Alina
why us first?
tazia
Well, I haven't gotten the chance to see you fight someone without using your plasmas, and Tearly is a monster hunter so I figure there's a lot I learn from this fight.
inas
Good point.
AISHA
Well, you heard her lets getting ready for a Rumble.
Alina and Tearly step into the middle of the yard and a ring from underneath the ground lifts them just enough for them to be visible for everyone to see.
Tearly
Ight, hot-shot let's see what you got!
ALINA
Bring it, I'll love to show off in front of my student!
TEARLY
Do you mean your only student?
Inas and Samraaj yell from the sidelines
Inas&Samraaj
Burn!
Tearly reaches his fist out for a fist bump from them and Alina sucker punches him in the gut.
ALINA
Yeah, that's not gonna feel good in the morning at all.
She twists her fist in his gut sending him flying into the ropes.
TEARLY
Is that the best you got?
He charges at Alina swinging, but she dodges and trips him up.
Alina
you're gonna have to be better than this if you want to hit me.
Alina jumps onto the ropes using them to bounce in the sky over him.
alina
let's see how you like this
(plasma fist)
Alina comes flying down a Tearly throwing punch after punch at him, but Tearly counters pushing her back.
Alina
oh, so you aren’t that bad after all.
Tearly
Oh, I’m just getting warmed up.
Tearly explodes with energy shaking the ring.
ALINA
Oh, Mr. bad is getting serious.
Alina charges at Tearly, but Tearly disappears.
Alina
Huh, where did he go?
TAZIA
Watch out, he’s above you.
Alina quickly moved her attention to the dark sky, but she couldn’t see him because of his dark clothing.
ALINA
Dammit, stop hiding like a coward!
TEARLY
Let's see how you handle this
( Multi clone formation)
Tearly clones all group together forming a shield for him.
Alina
That won't help you
She raises her hand into the air in the direction of Tearly and his clones.
(Plasma Shot)
A high-power beam shoots out for her palm vaporizing Tearly clones.
tazia
Aisha, why did Alina do that?
AISHA
Well, my guess is that she was thinking that Tearly was going to land back in the ring and use his clones to outnumber her so she shot them down before they could, but that's just one idea. She could have noticed that his clones could just be a distraction.
tazia
A distraction that wouldn't work on Alina.
Aisha
Even so, she shouldn't take him lightly or underestimated him. Tazia everyone you see here is extremely powerful in their own ways.
Tearly lands back in the ring in front of Alina visibly unharmed by her plasma beam. Without hesitation, he charges at her.
TEARLY
(final space/wormhole)
Black energy envelops Tearly's left hand.
TEARLY
I'm going to end this now!
Within striking distance Tearly Slices at Alina with his left hand.
tazia
So Aisha why is he only attacking with his left hand?
Aisha
Because all of his energy is concentrated there the attack is more effective, and more likely to cause more damage.
Alina dodged Tearly attacks just avoiding his hand.
Tearly
Your fast, but that won't matter.
One of the Tearly clones grabs Alina from behind holding her still.
Alina
Where did that clone come from?
Tearly zips off at Alina.
TEARLY
It's Over!
Alina struggles to fight off the Tearly clone but is able to shake him off and avoid his attack.
Alina
Whew, that was close.
Tearly laughs replying
tearly
a lot closer than you think, but I quit.
Tearly walks out of the waving at Alina.
Alina
Hey where do you think you're going we aren't finished here... hey come back here coward.
Tearly
It's getting pretty late and I have to be somewhere in the morning.
Samraaj
Yeah, it is, but we should help Aisha clean up.
tazia
ahhhh-hhaaaaaa Yeah Inas I'm pretty tired.
They all followed behind Tearly going back into the house.
After helping Aisha clean up Inas, Samraaj, and Tazia said THEIR GOODBYES and thanked her for dinner. Alina followed soon after but not before getting her last hit on Tearly.
INT. AISHA’S HOUSE bedROOM
Struggling to her bed exhausted from the day she changes into her pajamas and flops into her soft warm bed ready to drift off to sleep.
AISHA
That was pretty fun, but I think tomorrow I'm going to explore more of the fields in the Central Plains.
She Yawns and turns reaching over to her nightstand for her wedding ring.
AISHA
It's been some time now Amitai, let my dreams foresee what's to come of us. The good the bad and the ugly.
