Whew! Man. S'been a while, eh? Well, I've been busy with various projects, and my recent obsession with RENT, and MASH, but I'm back now. For how long, I can't say. That all depends on whether or not I get any reviews. This writing thing ain't as easy as it looks, folks. It takes time and effort, and I don't see why I should waste either of mine if nobody appreciates it. So, bear with me, it's been a while since I've done this. Here we go!
The sun is up.
Ling sits asleep against the wall of the cave, with a blanket over his legs.
Lee is close to the 'door' of the cave.
She is now wearing a dress, and we see her normal clothes drying on a makeshift clothesline in the background.
Lee is apparently cooking a fish over a fire.
She reaches for a metal pot, but it tips, and begins to fall.
Lee catches it, but not before half of the water spills out, and makes a nice, loud, clang on the ground.
Ling opens his eyes, startled by the noise.
He blinks several times before they finally focus.
He looks, confused, at Lee's back.
Ling leans over, and tries to get a better look at her, but falls over in the process.
Ling:(Falling) Whoa!
Thud.
Lee spins her head around.
Lee:(Smiling) Well, 'bout time you woke up.
Ling:(Rubbing his head) Lee?
Lee:(Sarcastically) No, I'm the rat. I just decided to change out of that tiny fur suit, put on a dress, and cook breakfast.
Ling crawls over to the fire, and kneels beside her.
Ling: You can cook?
Suddenly, the fish on the Lee's stick burst into flames.
Lee: AH!
She dunks the fish into the can of water.
She turns to Ling, and grins sheepishly.
Lee: Not well.
Outside the cave.
We hear Ling and Lee laughing, inside.
Three Lao Shings, and Snake draw their weapons.
Snake: Leave the boy be. Get the girl.
They nod.
Back inside.
Ling: It doesn't look THAT bad.
Lee holds the fish to his face.
Lee: You wanna put your money where your mouth is?
Ling: Sure, as long as I don't have to put that fish there too.
Lee giggles, and hits the can again with her elbow.
She bends down to grab the can.
Suddenly, something shoots over her head, narrowly missing her scalp, and hits the wall of the cave.
She and Ling look at the object- an arrow with a green scarf attached.
They both gasp.
Ling grabs Lee's arm, and pulls her away from the cave's entrance.
They both peer around the corner, and see the three Lao Shings.
Lee: Now what?
Ling: I dunno.
Lee: Well, think of something!
Ling glances around the cave.
His eyes come to rest on a small hole near the back of the cave.
Ling: There!
Lee: Look out!
She pulls Ling out of the path of another arrow.
Ling: Hurry!
He pulls her along to the hole.
The hole is about eight feet off the ground.
Ling bends down, and prepares to give Lee a boost up.
Ling: What are you waiting for? Come on!
Lee: What? And let you get a look up my skirt? I don't think so!
Ling: Fine, help me up.
She boosts him up to the hole, and he crawls through, up onto the ground beside the hole.
Guard(Offscreen): Over there!
Lee spins in terror.
The guards inch toward her, menacingly.
Guard: We got you now, girl.
Ling:(Offscreen) Lee! Gimme your hand!
Lee stays flat against the wall, frozen in fear.
Guard: I'm gonna enjoy this.
Guard 2: Hey! Wait a minute! Who says you get her!
Guard: I says!
Guard 3: Guys come on! We got a job to do!
Ling:(Offscreen, whispering) Lee, come on!
Lee looks up at him, finally.
She jumps up, and grabs his hand.
Guard 3: Hey! She's getting away!
The three guards run at her.
Lee screams as Ling pulls her up, just in time.
Ling: Run!
They scramble through the forest.
Guard 3:(To other guards) Come on! If we lose her, we'll end up like Gou!
They run out of the cave, and after Lee and Ling.
Lee and Ling run, exhausted through the forest.
They pause for a moment, Ling leaning against a tree.
Ling:(Breathlessly) You think we lost em?
An arrow shoots through the air, and lands just above Ling's head.
Lee: Nope!
They start running again.
Lee trips over the hem of her dress, and nearly falls.
Lee: How do women run in these things!
Ling: They don't.
He runs back and throws Lee over his shoulder, much to her protest, and continues running.
Lee: Ling! Lemme go!
Ling: Lee, just shut up and let me save you!
Lee: I am perfectly capable of saving myself, thank you! Now LET ME GO!
She kicks him, and the two of them fall, and roll down the hill slightly.
Ling: Why must you be so difficult?
Lee: It's in my nature.
Ling: So I've noticed.
She sees the guards getting closer.
Lee: Split up!
Ling runs down the hill, and Lee runs along a path the right of it.
Ling trips, and nearly falls into the shallow (Like, 2 inches deep) stream.
He continues running alongside the stream, in the same direction Lee went.
Lee runs along the path.
To her left is a cliff, and just below that is a shallow stream.
She hears the Lao Shings behind her, and looks back.
Not paying attention, Lee runs right off of the cliff.
She shrieks and grabs onto the cliff's edge.
The Lao Shings manage to catch up with her, and peer over the edge, chuckling.
Guard 2:(Mock kindness)Aw, did the poor little girl fall?
Lee frowns at him.
Guard 2: Now don't look at me that way. This is a lot kinder than what we were going to do to you.
He pulls out his sword, and holds it above his head.
Lee stares fearfully at the blade.
The guard swings the sword down at Lee, who lets go of the cliff and falls.
Ling gasps, and rushes forward, just in time to catch Lee.
Ling: You okay?
Lee:(Panting) Yeah, thanks.
He puts her down, and they run through the stream, and up the hill opposite the one Lee just fell off of.
Okay, review now. Pweeze:D
