CHRNO CRUSADE: PATH OF THE GREEN MILE

ACT ONE, SCENE FOUR: HEADING TO THE CITY

The sun was shinning, birds were chirping, the wind was blowing, it was a beautiful day. But somehow, in the middle of all this beauty, Azmaria couldn't help but feel sad for her new friend.

"Are you alright, ma'am," John said.

"………"

"How you holdn' up?"

"………"

"You wanna soda?"

"………"

"Still down because of what happened yesterday?"

Azmaria nodded.

"I told you shouldn't worry about it."

"I can't help it."

"Why?"

"Because you're my friend and I can't stand people who hate you for what you are…"

"You're friendship is enough…"

"Really?"

"Really, really."

"Thanks, I needed that."

They came upon a group of people that needed help changing a tire.

"Come on, lift!" shouted one person.

The others were trying to lift the car but couldn't. The car came crashing down.

"It's no good, boss," said another. "It's too heavy."

"Maybe we should make our way back into town," said another.

"Boy, are you crazy? That's too far! What happens if we leave her out here? It'd be stolen quick-like!"

"So what'd you suggest we do then?"

"Hold up! I'm thinking, I'm thinking…"

Azmaria and John wanted to help.

"Maybe we could help…"

"I say we go there and help them."

"Excuse me!"

The boss turned around and saw Azmaria and John.

"Maybe we could get the big fella and girl to help us out," he thought to himself.

He yelled over to Azmaria and John, "Hey! Could ya'll come here and give us a hand?"

Everyone was on one side of the car. "Okay!" the boss yelled. "On three! One…two…three!"

The car lifted immediately. They were successful in changing the tire.

"Thanks!" the boss said.

"You guys are great," said another.

"I agree!" said the other. "Without your help, we'd be stuck here for good."

"Glad I could help," Azmaria said.

"Happy to oblige," John said. "Well, we'll be off now."

"Wait!" said the boss. "You can't leave. We didn't have lunch yet! I won't take no for an answer."

Everyone sat on a laid out blanket. They began introductions.

"Allow me to introduce myself," the boss said. "My name is Jack."

"I'm Earl," said another.

"And I'm Bob," said the other. "Who might you be?"

"Azmaria."

"John."

"Now that we know who we all are, we're ya'll heading?"

"The city," John said.

"The city!" Jack exclaimed. "On foot, the city would be a two days walk!"

"We'll manage," Azmaria said.

"No way!" Earl said. "Why don't you travel with us? It'll take half the time to get there…"

"Really?" Azmaria said.

"I don't wanna be any trouble," John said.

"No trouble at all," Bob said. "We leave after lunch."

After eating their lunches, the group heading to the city, where new adventures will begin…

Now they have a car (so the trip won't take so long). Please note that going to the city by car takes half the time of walking (1.3 days don't ask how I got that). Please R&R this scene and read the next scene!
