Part two of Corpse Bride AU
(Judy walk at Main Street, looking for Varian. He run off after bring brought here to the land of the dead, leaving Judy to wander for him.)
Judy: Varian, Varian! Where are you?!
(Inside her head, a black worm spoke to her.)
Plagg: If you ask me, your boyfriend's jumpy.
Judy: He's not my boyfriend, he's my husband.
Plagg: Same difference, you don't even know him.
Judy: If you're not gonna help find him, you shut up.
(He pop one of her eye as she catch it. Plagg pop out.)
Plagg: Fine, I'll keep a eye out for him. Pushy bride.
(Over by a statue, Varian peek in to see if Judy doesn't see him. When he think the coast is clear, he sneak out to run. But Plagg saw him.)
Plagg: There he is! He's getting away!
(Varian run away. Judy put her eye back and go after him. Varain run past a sell on arms. Judy stopped in search for him, when the arms point in the diraction Varian went.)
Judy: Oh, thank you. Varian! Come back!
(He skid to a stop to a hallway with coffins. He hear Judy calling for him. He lay on one coffin and prep and to be dead, as she walk past him. He open one eyes to see her walking away, but a red spider came near his face.)
Tikki: Married? I'm a window.
(He gasp in fright, slap her away and run off. She sway side to side.)
Tikki: How rude! HE went that way!
(Judy turn around and see Varian running away. She pick up her dress and go after him.)
Judy: Varian! Talk to me, please!
(Varian run through a hallway. He saw a dead janitor sweeping the floor. He grab him by the shoulder and shake him.)
Varian: Please, this is a mistake! I'm not dead!
(He shake him till his head fell out, Varian shriek and run away but the janitor just went back to work. He run past a gentleman and to a clearing with a end end, he can hear Judy getting closer. He have no choice but to climb up. He climb till he reach the top, he grab the bars, then something that looks like a leg as he look up and see Judy looking at him.)
Judy: You know, you could have use the stairs you dork.
(She grab him and pick him up and set him down. She twirl around.)
Judy: Isn't the view beautiful? It takes my breath away. Well, it wouldn't I have any. Then again, I am talking so that kinda counts, does it? I mean you can't talk if you have air. Not like those ghost, nosy like runts that have no business and always moaning. It get so-
Varian: Excuse me?
Judy: Huh? Oh, sorry. I tend to ramble when I get nervous or so over excited. Which is a big problem of mine, other than getting a nosebleed. I remember the time I was so hot, that my nose bleed. And I tend to figling my hair sometimes. I-I'm doing it right now am I?
(He nodded that she is. She let it go and walk to a bench, she motion him to sit next to her. He sit next to her.)
Varian: Look, I'm really sorry about what have happen to you. I love to help, but I have to get back home.
Judy: But this is your home.
Varian: But I don't even know your name.
Plagg: (inside) Wow, ain't that a good way to start a marriage.
Judy: (knock her head) (Varian stare at her) Sorry, it's Judy.
Varian: Judy,..beautiful.
Judy: Of course it was Judy Pot, but now it's Judy Ruddiger. I mean, I know we haven't got a full marriage and we never met before to know each other names and all and.. Sorry, I'm so nervous and all, I've never done this before and it's all new to me and-
Varian: Hey, it's okay to be nervous. I'm nervous too. Never done this before.
(Judy smile at him, a smile that made his heart beat fast and leave a blush on his face. He smile at her, not knowing why he felt like this, not even on Sinny. Judy gasp.)
Judy: I almost forgot! I have something for you.
(She pull out a box with a lid and a bow, and place it on his lap.)
Judy: It's a wedding present. Do newly couples give each other present? Cause if so, then it's fine that you don't have something for me! I'm fine with it, Oh I feel like a horrable excuse for a wi-
Varian: Hey, it's fine. Thank you.
(Judy smile at him. He pick the box up, held it to his ears and shake to guess what's inside. He place it back on his lap and open the lid. He gasp as he pull out a bone.)
Varian: T-Thank you. How thoughtful.
Judy: That's not the full package,
(Before he can ask why she say that, the bones shake, jump out of his lap and scatter on the floor. The bones form into a raccoon skeleton. It pick up a collar and held it for Varian to grab and look. He look at the collar.)
Varian: Rudiger? (It nodded) Rudiger! My old buddy Rudiger!
(Rudiger jump on his lap and climb on his shoulder. Judy giggle, a giggle that cause his heart to bust.)
Judy: I knew he be happy to see you. I found him on the trash bins, and I couldn't leave him like this. So I took him home with me and take care of him.
Varian: You did? Thank you Judy.
Judy: I love animal, especially raccoons. He is so cute.
(Rudiger climb to Judy shoulder.)
Varian: You should have seen him with fur. Mother approve Rudiger of climbing on to shoulder like this. But then again, she never approve of anything.
Judy: You think she approve me?
Varian: You're lucky you'll never meet her.
(But then a thought comes to his mind. He can use this to head back to the land of the living and talk to Sinny. But the thought made his stomach sick, and his heart rotten him with guilt. But he push all that away. He get up.)
Varian: Well, now that you mention it. I think you should. In fact, since we're married, you should defiantly meet her, and my father as well. We should go see them right now!
Judy: What a wonderful idea Varian! Where are they buried?
(he look away.)
Judy: What's wrong?
Varian: They're not from around here. They're..(pointed up)
Judy: They're still alive?
Varian: Yeah.
Judy: Oh, that's a big problem there.
(Rudiger tug on Judy's dress to get her attention.)
Judy: What is it Rudiger? (Rudiger chitter) What? We couldn't- (Rudiger chitter) Well, you put it like that.
Varian: What did he say?
Judy: Elder Xavier.
( At a high tower, over looking the town. Judy and Varian along with Rudiger walk up the stairs and reach the top. The room is filled with books, stack on top, shelves of books, a lantern and a tall desk. They enter.)
Judy: Elder Xavier? Hello? Are you there?
(They walk around, searching for him. Varian look very nervous and scared. Judy reach her hand and hold his in a comfort manner. His heart beat so fast and his face turn red at the touch of her hand, but he shove it away. To Sinny, not Judy. He bump into a stack of books, alerting the crows. The lantern sway back and froth. A shadow of a hand me as Rudiger chitter in alert. The hand stopped the lantern, reveling to be a huge skeleton with bones to show his body size, a grey bread.)
Judy: Oh there you are!
Xavier: Hmm? (Look down) Oh, there you are. What can I help you with?
Judy: I brought my husband, Varian.
Xavier: Your husband?
Varian: Pleased to meet you sir.
Xavier: I see.
Judy: We need to go up, upstairs, to visit the land of the living.
Xavier: The land of the living?
(He get up and walk down the stairs of book.)
Xavier: Oh my child..
Judy: Please.
Xavier: Why go up there when people are dying to get down here?
Varian: Sir I beg you to help. It mean so much to us.
(He pause, Us? He's using this as a chance to get back and talk to Sinny, and yet he feel rotten for doing this. Once again, he shove his feeling away and focus on the task. Xavier scratch his skull.)
Xavier: I don't know, it's not natural.
Judy: Please Elder Xavier. There must be something you can do.
(her face show a pleasing look. Xavier let out a sigh of this.)
Xavier: I'll see what I can do. Now where did I put that book?
(He look through shelves of books, drawers, stacks of books, till he found it.)
Xavier: Ah! There it is!
(He pull out a large red book, he blow the dust off. He have bottles and set them with the book down on his high desk. He open the book to a page that show a bottle with a skull. He flip the page, one show a bottle with a butterfly. He flip through pages till he find the one.)
Xavier: Ah, I have it. A Ukrainian Haunting Spell. Just the thing for a quick trip.
Judy: (whisper to Varian) So glad you thought of this.
Varian: (whisper to her) Same here.
(Xavier pour potion in a cup, sprinkle dust in the cup, and pluck a crow and dip the feather in the mixture. He raise the cup up in the air, then he drink it.)
Xavier: Now, where were we?
Judy: Uh.. The Ukrainian Haunting Spell?
Xavier: Oh right.
(He grab the crow by the neck and grab the middle, then he squeeze the crow and pop out a egg. He release the crow as it fly away. He grab the egg.)
Xavier: This is it. Ready? (They nodded) Remember, when you want to come back, say "Sundrop".
Judy: "Sundrop"?
Xavier: Right.
(He crack the egg in half, pour the yolk over them, and they are back in the woods. Judy stare at the moon.)
Judy: I've spend so long in the darkness, I've almost forgotten how beautiful the moonlight is.
(A butterfly fly past them and fly close to the moon. With a smile, Judy twirl and dance around the woods. She dance around Varian who is watching her. The way she dance made his heart going crazy and hands get sweaty. It wasn't till her feet caught a root and fell. Varian gasp and run to her.)
Varian: Are you okay?
Judy: I'm fine. Happens a lot.
(He pull her Leo out of the root and clip it back on. She smile at him and went back to her dancing. He watch her twirl around the trees, and staring at him. His smile form on it's own, watching her like this. He almost forgotten what they came her for as he stare at her while she dance around her. It wasn't till the thought of Sinny came to mind, that he snap out of it. He grab her shoulder to stop her. And set her down on a stump.)
Varian: Hang on. I think I should prepare mother and father for the big news. I'll go ahead while you stay here. I don't want the town to get in a panic riot if they see you with me. Could scare them.
Judy: Okay.
Varian: I won't be long. Just stay here and I'll be right back.
Judy: I know.
(He run off. Then he run back to her.)
Varian: No peeking.
Judy: (laughing) Will you just go?
(He turn around, walking slowly as he look behind his shoulder. He feel really bad for doing this to the girl he lo- he pause at that thought. He shook his head, to get that word out his head, focus on Sinny. He run straight to town, not knowing crows are watching him.)
