Sorry guys, I would've updated yesterday (School holiday!) But I got sick, and I would've updated this morning, but I had my piano theory exam to go to. Now, this chapter might be a little longer than the others, but I'm not sure, I'm writing it as I go, so enjoy!
The girls stand beside a lake. Lee sits on a rock, the boys are nowhere in sight.
E Liu begins to take off her dress (she has more clothes underneath) and heads into the water.
E Liu: Come on Lee, you need a bath more than we both do.
Shuai:(sniffing Lee) Yeah, EW, you smell like a wet gorilla!
She, too, heads for the water.
Lee: You mean like Yao?
E Liu laughs, but Shuai just frown-pouts at Lee with her arms crossed.
Lee smiles, then hears something and looks behind her.
E Liu: What is it?
Lee:(standing up) Nothing, I'll be right back.
She walks off into the tall grass.
Shuai turns back to the water.
Lee:(offscreen) AH!
E Liu: Lee?
She runs into the grass.
E Liu:(offscreen) AH!
Shuai: E-E Liu?
The bushes rustle somewhat.
Shuai: Lee? C'mon guys, this isn't funny!
More rustling.
Shuai picks up a rock.
Shuai: I said 'STOP IT!'
She throws the rock into the bushes.
Man:(offscreen) OW!
Shuai gasps and runs away.
Shuai: YAO! Y-AAAAAAOOOOOO!
Yao: Give it up Chien Po.
Chien Po: And why should I?
Yao: Because E Liu's already got a man. You know, Shen?
Ling: You sure about that Yao?
Yao: Hey, why else would she be so intent on finding him?
Ling: Good point.
Yao: So, what about you and Lee, huh?
Ling: Wh-what!
Yao: Oh come on, you know you like her.
Ling:(standing up) I do not.
Yao: Oh yeah? Do you clam up whenever she looks at ya'?
Ling:(quietly) Yeah…
Chien Po: Do you think about her every second?
Ling: Well, I…
Yao: Do you think she's the greatest thing that's ever happened to you?
Ling: Well, yeah. But that doesn't mean I'm in love with her!
Yao+Chien Po:(knowingly) Hmmm.
Ling: Well, so what if she's smart, and funny, and beautiful and, and…..Oh my gosh, I am in love with her!
He sits back down.
Chien Po: Told you.
Yao: Hey, whatever happened to (sings) " I want her paler than the moon, with eyes that shine like stars"?
Ling: Well, I don't exactly see Shuai worshipping the ground at your feet.
Shuai:(offscreen) YAO!
Yao: See? She can't get enough of me.
Shuai:(offscreen) YAO! HELP!
Chien Po: Did she just say 'help'?
Ling: I think so, c'mon!
The boys run out of the forest into a clearing, to see Shuai running up half-dressed.
Shuai: Yao!
Yao: Shuai! What's the matter?
She falls to her knees in front of him.
Chien Po: Where are Lee and E Liu?
Shuai:(stammering) They, and the over, and 'AH!', and 'Yao', and, and, I DON'T KNOW!
She falls into Yao's chest, and sobs.
Ling: What happened?
Shuai:(stammering) They, and the over, and….
Ling: Using actual words, please?
Shuai:(takes deep breath) Okay. Lee heard something in the bushes, so she went to check it out. Then we heard her scream.
Chien Po: Oh my.
Shuai: So E Liu went to check it out, and she screamed. Then I heard somebody in the bushes, and I thought they were just playing a trick on me. So I threw a rock at them!
Yao chuckles.
Yao: That's my girl.
Shuai: Yeah, and I hit someone too! Only, it wasn't Lee OR E Liu.
Ling: Who was it then?
Shuai: I dunno'.
Yao: Can you show us where this happened?
Shuai:(affirmative) Uh-huh.
A pause. (Cricket chirp, cricket chirp)
Ling: Well?
Shuai: OH! You mean now?
Okay, so not as long as I expected it to be, but still, the content's good, right? RIGHT?
Please R+R!
