Narrator: It is a nice, cool summer morning. The birds are chirping and the trees are alive, except for the one in the far off corner of the yard, it was infested by bugs, but that's besides the point. Prometheus and Gaea are sitting down at the breakfast table sharing a plate of beef.
Gaea: (looking up at Prom; asking curiously) Prometheus, don't you think it's time you start building the new community? The Great Migration will be here soon.
Prom: (staring down at a piece up beef while holding it; talking in a relaxed tone) I don't feel like this is the right time.
Gaea: (immediatelt stands; uses a nagging/yelling tone; slams hands on table) What?! You've said that every day for the last three years! You've done nothing!
Prom: (using a defensive tone) Yes, I have! As a matter of fact, I built this here couch!
Gaea: (still standing; still using nagging/yelling tone) No you didn't! That was here when we found this place!
Prom: (using a defensive/sarcastic tone) And what have you done that was or is so spectacular?
Gaea: (using a more calm/nagging tone) Hmmm...let me think...oh yeah! I bore two children, I clean the house all day, every day and cook three meals a day every day for the children, myself, and your fat self! So...
Prom: (interrupting Gaea; using annoyed tone) Okay, i get it!
Gaea: (asking curiously, getting excited) So you'll build the new community!
Prom: (using defeated tone) Fine, fine, fine! (uses fake smile and gives a thumb up) I'll get right on it! (mumbled) over my dead body!
Gaea: (asking in a nagging tone) What was that last part?
Prom: (answering like he said nothing) Oh...nothing... nothing at all.
Gaea: (friendly tone, finally sits, and picks up a piece of paper) Good! I made you a list!
Prom: (signaling a stop sign with hand; using a demanding voice, then crosses his arms) Whoa! Slow down woman, I don't like lists!
Gaea: (Friendly tone) Okay then, just build a few homes for...
Prom: (interrupting Gaea; getting restless; stomps foot) No! People from the Great Migration can build their own homes!
Gaea: ( agreeing without question) Fine by me. That just leaves the wall.
Prom: ( finally pleased; points to wrist) That shouldn't take long!
Gaea: (laughs, mocks Prom's response) Ha! That shouldn't take long my foot!
Prom: (surprised tone) What?!
Gaea: (using nagging voice; now standing again, spreads arms apart to show a long length of time) It will take you forever!
Prom: (using defensive/yelling tone) No, it won't!
Gaea: (sarcastic tone; then switches to motherly tone) Whatever! I need to fix the children some lunch!
-pause-
Prom: (asking curiously) Speaking of which, where are they?
Gaea: (worried and uncertain tone) I'm not entirely sure.
Prom and Gaea: (looking at each other; worried voice) Uh-oh!
Prom: (worried voice; exit stage right) Kronos...
Gaea: (worried voice; exit stage left) Apollo...
