Endermen Woes

Set Change. Rythian's magic hut. Rythian is hunched over a bench, messing about with potions. Enter Zoey. Narrator stands to the side of the stage, hands behind back.

Narrator -After living in the desert for three weeks, they finally decided it just wasn't cutting it. Sand got everywhere.

Zoey -Rythian?

Rythian -Yeah?

Zoey -There's sand everywhere!

Rythian -Well, it is the desert.

Zoey -I know. Can we move?

Rythian -*Scoffs* And to where?

Zoey -The jungle! *Throws hands in the air*

Rythian -Why the jungle? And there's not exactly an abundace of space to build.

Zoey -Because the jungle has cocoa beans! *Places hands on hips* And we can clear some space!

Rythian -When exactly were you planning to move?

Zoey -Today!*Throws arms in the air again*

Rythian -*Turns to face Zoey* What?! We don't have anywhere to move to!

Zoey -*Drapes hands to sides* Fine. But we move as soon as possible.

Rythian -*Sigh* Fine. I'm gonna go see Tee.

Zoey -Okay! *Smiles and skips out*

Set change. Inside Teep's tower. Teep is leant on the window sill, looking out of the window; fiddling with his bow. Enter Rythian.

Rythian -Hey Tee. Bored?

Teep -*Nods.*

Rythian -Yeah, me too. *Leans next to Teep* Zoey says she wants to move to the jungle. You?

Teep -*Nods head vigorously*

Rythian -Great! Because we're going. But don't tell Zoey; not that you can, but you know what I mean. I want to build a house for us, me and Zoey, and make you a watchtower from one of the large jungle trees; how does that sound?

Teep -*Nods*

Rythian -*Pulls out blue paper* Then let's get planning!

Set change. Rythian has spent all day with Teep, and Zoey is pacing the entrance to the tent worried. Enter Rythian; trudging, clothes torn, bleeding slightly on his palms and eyes closed.

Zoey -Rythian! What happened? Why are you back so late?

Rythian -Don't worry Zoey, I'm fine. *Heads towards tent* I was...practicing archery with Tee.

Zoey -Hm. Liar! *Folds arms*

Rythian -*Turns to face Zoey* How do you know I'm lying?

Zoey - You had to think about what you would use for an excuse.

Rythian -Fine. You got me. My hands are bleeding because I've been carrying entire jungle tree trunks all day.

Zoey -*Unfolds arms* Why?

Rythian -It's a surprise.*Walks into tent*

Zoey -*follows Rythian* Ohhhhh.

Set change. Inside tent, two beds seperated by a bench with a candle on top. The two climb into bed, Rythian snaps his fingers and the candle is blown out.

Rythian -Goodnight Zoey.

Zoey -Goodnight Rythian. *Yawns*

Narrator -And so the friends slept into the night in peace, until at around 3:00am. Rythian wakes up and climbs out bed, grabbing Enderbane on his way out.

Set change. Light shining through the gap in the entrance.

Zoey -*Rubs eyes* Where are you going Rythian?

Rythian -Endermen.

Zoey -You know you sense them from miles away, its probably nothing. Just go back to bed. *Snuggles down*

Rythian -I won't rest until every enderman within a 10 mile radius is dead. *Tightens grip around Enderbane*

Zoey -Ok. *Yawns* Just come back soon.

Rythian -*Nods slowly, then walks outside*

Set change. 8:00am, and Zoey is just waking up to see Rythian walk in covered in blood.

Zoey -You were successful then? *Sits up* I hope none of that blood is your own.

Rythian -Of course I was successful, and no,*Looks down at himself* none of this blood is mine.

Zoey -You need a bath mister!

Rythian -Hm.

They walk outside holding hands, smiling.
