Arlene 2

Arlene 2 is a 2003 2D animated sequel to Arlene.

Opening Recap & Prologue
"“Long ago, a team known as the Galactic Comets have been creating hundreds of different creatures that would defend and serve the planet of Mystico. But after a catastrophic event, the population fled to find new home. As for the Galactic Comets, they’ve split up and went their separate ways, with Tiberius, Thomas, and Tabitha heading for Earth. After a monster attack a populated island, the Galactic Comets created a new creature to battle the monster. And their new creature was me, Arlene. After defeating the monster, we made sure peace and prosperity would rain forever. That is...until a new old creature returned.”"We cut to Tiberius’s ship as it stays motionless. You were all probably wondering what happened to it. Well, they had to leave it here to make sure nothing would go wrong. As it seemed it be up there forever, we see something far off. A meteor half the size of the one that wiped out the dinosaurs. It was heading towards Earth and close to the island. The force of the meteor pushed the ship close to the atmosphere and followed down to Tawaho.

Arlene Today
As we head to DiamondVille, we see things are completely serene and peaceful. We see Arlene taking a walk around DiamondVille saying “Hello” & “Good Morning” to everyone she knows. She, however, notices something about some of the people she has greeted, but sure. In case you’re wondering, the people she greeted had something Arlene doesn’t. Realizing that, she started having a feeling of small depression. What she was missing sounded vital. She went and sat on a bench at the park and saw more people as well as a few animals with another. She started to feel a little more lost to a point she shed a small tear.

On her way back home, Mayor Weber and Valerie saw Arlene looking down. They came up and asked if she was feeling alright. Arlene said she feels like somethings missing. Weber and Valerie looked confused and asked what she means. She explains she saw everyone with something, or in her case someone, and she doesn’t have that. Valerie caught up with that Arlene was saying and told her what she’s missing is a someone. Arlene was confused. Mayor Weber explains to Arlene that she talking about a love interest. Arlene got that and realized what she needed, but she then told them what are the chances she’ll meet someone who would date a creature. Valerie tells her to think about it and that those who love you love you for who you are not what you are. Arlene took her word for it and thanked them for the talk and, not paying attention, she bumps into someone by accident. She got up, apologized for that, and help him back up. After doing so, she looked back at him and suddenly felt a feeling that there was something about him that makes him, how they say, cute. She snapped out of it and tried to continue on without embarrassing herself. She may have felt like she found someone, but he didn’t find her.

What is Love?
Arlene felt like she knew who she want, but she wasn’t fully sure on what love really was. She pulled out the dictionary, encyclopedias, wikipedias, etcetera, but she still doesn’t fully understood love. Tiffany came in and saw Arlene’s room a mess of books. She asked what the heck she was doing. Arlene explains she’s looking up love. Tiffany looked confused and asked why was she looking up love and shouldn’t she know. She explains she probably knows what it is, but she’s wondering what it actually was. Tiffany explains love is a feeling of bonding with a man(or a women) as more than just a friend. She then asked Arlene why she was wondering about this. Arlene then tells her that she was missing something in her life and that‘s a very special someone. She says she may have found someone, but she’s too afraid he’s not gonna want her. Tiffany says that why not have him ask you. Arlene saw the idea, but wondered if he would love her for who and not what.

Tiberius, coming in unannounced and out of breath, passed out on Arlene’s bed. Arlene asked what was going on. Tiberius said he and his friends were just observing the nature of the island and they saw 2 meteors crashing down in the mountain oasis. He then ended that he doesn’t wanna discuss it cause it almost managed to hit him. As Arlene tried to help him calm down, Tiberius got up and slipped on a book. He then asked why was all of these books on the floor. Arlene says she was studying love. Tiberius noticed Arlene look a little red the moment she told him. He saw that she must’ve had a crush on someone. He then explains the time he once found his true love. Listening to what he did inspired Arlene to take a chance with who she thinks is her true love.
