[We begin the scene with Carl and Emily having dinner.]

So, are you willing to train after dinner?

No... In hindsight, having you keep publicly quiet about different realities wasn't the smartest idea on my part. This is also my fault. I want to rethink my actions.

*Sighs.*

Very well. I still... can't believe... I've... done that. Messed up... and... took down an evil version of myself. In fact, it kind of felt... autonomous. I don't know why.

It did? Huh.

Yeah... Unbelievable. Also, have you told Carter the number of this Earth?

I did!

Good.

[On Earth 139...]

ACHOO!! Urgh, that sneeze did not feel good!

*Gets an alert.*

Hm? Oh, another Khizinder incident? Alright!

*Heads there.*

[We return back on Earth One.]

*Continues eating.*

It was also pretty fun whipping this up with my aunt!

Yeah, we shared ideas back and forth!

*Patiently finishes up what was in his mouth before replying.*

I saw! You all did good!

Thanks!

Thank you!

You're all welcome!

*Eventually finishes, and gets up.*

*Also finishes, too.*

I'm still in the mood of exploring the forest more, though. Just not training.

I see, then. Let's go.

Right!

So... Again, that was a bust.

At this point, don't worry about it.

*Notices a briefcase.*

Wh-What the?!?

Huh?

*Opens it, and sees a bunch of currency. He sighs.*

💭 Cash? Is this from Earth 11? I never wanted anything in return... I should give this back. I don't deserve this. Or need it for that matter. 💭

*Closes the case, and opens a portal back.*

What are you doing?

Giving this back. It doesn't feel right earning money after... that.

I see... Please don't take too long.

I won't.

*Steps through and is eventually in public, where he's noticed due to a side on the briefcase saying "Earth One" that's facing opposite him.*

💭 Until I completely give away all this to those in need, like the police, I cannot and will not leave. 💭

*As he begins his philanthropic work, he gets recorded by the public and is soon interviewed by journalists.*

Is it really true you're from another universe?

I don't want to be seen as anyone special because of that.

What do you mean?!? Alternate Earths?!? Ones where terrorists are heroes!? How is that not special?!

Oh, please. Hero? You exaggerate me. I'm just a philanthropic human being and no one more.

Yeah, an inter-universal one! Regular philanthropists are already amazing! But you? Truly exceptional! Imagine how far you can go on other worlds!

*Gasps, realizing the journalist has a point.*

See?

Yeah... I have... already started doing that to some degree. 💧 With my... alternate universe offspring. 💧

Offspring?

💧 Daughter and grandson. Too early generation wise for usage of the word descendant. ❤️ Regardless, I love them very much. ❤️💧

*Sighs.*

Which is why I'm still kind of upset. I failed in upholding a daughter's promise. That really hurt. I don't think I'm worthy to become a real dad.

Of course you are! Do you not remember restoring every live massacred by the wide scale destruction you've also reversed?! The FIRST act you did here?!

!!!

And how old are you?!

Eight... teen.

18!! Incredible!

*Appears out of a portal, and is noticed.*

Oh hey, Carter! How's it going?

It's been rough. Thankfully I'm now off for the day.

Excellent! I'm assuming you're ready now?

Yes!

Alright. You know what to do.

Right!

*Does as instructed, slicing down the branches with the flexible extending sword. Like Emily, he also does a bit better.*

💭 Great. 💭

*Eventually tires, too.*

I see you've had enough. We'll be doing this tomorrow. Please rest well, alright?

I will, Grandpa!

💧 Good... ness. 💧

*Hugs him.*

*Same.*

💧 I can't believe you're my grandson... 💧

💧 And I can't believe I'm being trained by a younger grandpa! 💧 Also, doesn't it get lonely out here? Living in a house surrounded by just forest? No neighbors at all?

Yeah. Kind of.

Hm, I'll try to drop by every now and then.

You don't have to do that.

I know.

[We cut to nighttime, where we once again see Carl and Emily preparing for bed, then wishing each other a good night before sleeping with each other.]

*Sees them, and chuckles.*

💭 I can't wait for next morning! 💭

*Soon finds a spot to sleep in.*

[We then cut to Friday morning.]

♀️ *Wakes up, and turns off his alarm.* ♀️

*Noticing something different about Emerald Beacon, she gets up and does a double take.*

WH- WHAT THE?!

♀️ H-Huh? Oh, what the heck!? My voice is off! Wait... ♀️

♀️ *Looks at hims- or rather... herself.* ♀️

♀️ How did this happen?!? Uhh... ♀️

♀️ *Breaks out laughing.* ♀️

*Same.*

♀️ This is unexpected! Um... ♀️

♀️ *Covers her mouth for a while, continuing to laugh. She then removes her hand.* ♀️

♀️ Well... Let's... get breakfast going, okay? ♀️

Yes, dad. Or... should I say mom for the time being?

♀️ I don't know! Uh... shoot! Umm... ♀️

*Looks inside.*

Well, you surely look different today! How are you?

♀️ Um... good, but... ♀️

♀️ . ♀️

♀️ . ♀️

♀️ . ♀️

♀️ I'm also extremely confused! In fact, I'm unsure what to do now! Oh boy... Um... ♀️

Want to try and going out in public?

♀️ Uh... I mean, normally on Fridays I do that, but this time... I don't know. It'd... probably be awkward. ♀️

♀️ *Her face then turns a bit more scared and serious.* ♀️

♀️ And... what if... those kind of people come after me thinking I made a transition? I hope that doesn't happen. ♀️

To you? Nah, you'll be fine. Don't you have transgender friends?

♀️ Yes, but... ♀️

♀️ *Sighs.* ♀️

♀️ This is... going to be complicated... ♀️

What is going- WHAT?!? What happened to you?! That is you right, Carl?

♀️ Uh. Yeah... Um... ♀️

♀️ *Sighs, then looks at Daisy and Emily.* ♀️

♀️ Can you two help me get used to this, please? ♀️

Um, yeah! Sure! My first important tip is if you need to go, then you must sit down in there. Don't ever stand up.

And while in public, you should instead use those female restrooms when the situation arises.

♀️ Okay... ♀️

What are you all talking-

*Sees the female Carl, and displays great surprised shock.*

Excuse me?!? What happened here?!?

*Chuckles.*

I have no idea...

♀️ Well... Um... I... guess I'll upload a quick video before... we head... out. See how... people react. ♀️

Let's eat first, okay?

♀️ Right. I'm thinking of helping this time. ... Hang on a minute. ♀️

♀️ *Goes inside a bathroom, and closes the door.* ♀️

*Opens up just enough for a brief peek. She nods her head and closes it back up to give Carl privacy.*

Good. Good.

[We cut to breakfast.]

Where do you plan on going?

♀️ I... don't really... know. ♀️

How about you leave it to me?

♀️ Sure... ♀️

You must be really nervous, huh?

♀️ Extremely. But... Regardless of my... anxiousness... I must... keep the public updated. ♀️

*Nods.*

[We cut to right before the family leaves, and when Emerald Beacon makes a video.]

♀️ *Once their camera starts recording, they go in front of it, waving both hands.*

♀️ Hey, uh... This is... me... Emerald Beacon. Uh... heh, hello world! Oh man... This is embarrassing! ♀️

♀️ *Does a peace sign while displaying an anxious smile before ending the footage and titling it as "Hello, um..." The thumbnail shows only a waving hand.* ♀️

[Before we return to Carl, let's take a moment to see the reaction of Nolan Jeremy Baker.]

So, Emerald Beacon has uploaded a new short video just recently. I have gotten many requests of this video. Let's see what all the fuss is about.

*Presses play, paying attention to Carl's composure. Once the video finishes, he has a bunch to say.*

There are many things to unpack here. First, the behavior. It's extremely odd. He's acting like this is new, as if it happened just today, which is impossible.

*Replays to see if he can find anything new.*

This likely isn't a filter or AI, as Carl said he never uses either. If this is indeed actual real footage, then something really strange is going on here.

*Starts displaying confusion.*

There's just no way our technology improved that much in under a day... It's just not of this world!

*Gets up.*

I hope to get answers from him in public. This is such a confusing case.

*Uploads his video under the title of "I react to Carl turning into a woman. Something strange is definitely going on."

[We switch to a park with many gazebos and fountains.]

♀️ *Can be seen in one of the gazebos, looking at some fountains. sometimes looking at Daisy and Markus. He then gets tapped* ♀️

♀️ Huh? ♀️

♀️ *Sees Nolan.* ♀️

Hey! How are you, Emerald Beacon?

♀️ Getting used to this. How about you? ♀️

I'm doing great, thank you. I want to confirm with you. When did you change gender?

♀️ I wasn't like this yesterday. ♀️

Then how is this possible?!

♀️ Your guess is as good as mine. ♀️

*Arrives, kind of jealous.*

So it is true. You really are a female. I envy you. How did you turn so fast?!

♀️ There's no need to! Please, this isn't a big deal! And, I don't know exactly... ♀️

To you, it may not be. For me, it is. How do you not know? This can't happen out of nowhere...

♀️ That's what I'm trying to figure out myself. The only explanation I can think of is technology from out of this world. ♀️

That's a specific guess. Speaking of out of this world, would you be interested in checking out what I've found some time?

♀️ I'm not opposed to that. Sure. ♀️
