INT. BBQ BY OPEN LAND - MONDSTADT
(FADE IN MONDSTADT. CUT TO XIANGLING cooking within the open-land at MONSTADT. XIANGLING is cooking a STICKY HONEY ROAST upon the campfire; and smiles...)
XIANGLING
(smiles to herself) Oh I just love cooking... in MONDSTADT... I just want to be the queen of cooking..
(XIANGLING continues smiling as she continues to cook..)
XIANGLING
(smiles to herself) ELEMENTAL FIRE I am... no one dares mess with me or GUOBA... or fire... will hit their way... isn't that right GUOBA...
(GUOBA jumps from XIANGLING's back and greets XIANGLING... acknowledging her comment...)
XIANGLING
(Smiles to GUOBA) No one dares mess with us... NO One... I mean no one...
(CUT TO YAOYAO; she walks along the open land of MONDSTADT with her pet YUEGUI; noticing XIANGLING from a distance; with her sense of smell identifying a frying; grilling meal being cooked. She smiles to YUEGUI..)
YAOYAO
(smiles to YUEGUI) Oh that meal.. that person is cooking up there... that girl is cooking... smells so good... shall we greet her YUEGUI..
(YUEGUI sounds off; agreeing with YAOYAO's intentions. YAOYAO smiles at YUEGUI)
YAOYAO
(smiles to YUEGUI) Okay... okay YUEGUI... let's meet this brilliant chef.. whose food tastes so good... I bet it will be "SO TASTY..."
(THE SCENE PROCEEDS to see YAOYAO make her way to XIANGLING... with YUEGUI jumping along...)
#MINUTES PASS
YAOYAO
(greets XIANGLING) Hello... Hello... I am YAOYAO... nice to meet you? (looks to YUEGUI) And this is YUEGUI) My partner in fighting... I uh...
(XIANGLINg smiles to meet a friend; and introduces herself.. and GUOBA...)
XIANGLING
(smiles to YAOYAO) Hello.. hello... I am XIANGLING... (looks to GUOBA) And this is my GUOBA... it's nice to see we have pets..
(YAOYAO suddenly notices XIANGLING's elemental ability of fire by the hand... she freaks out; and grows scared. XIANGLING questions YAOYAO's reason of fear..)
XIANGLING
(worried to YAOYAO) Oh no... what is most wrong? Did I scare you? I don't mean to scare you... only my enemies..
(A FRIGHTENED YAOYAO speaks her mind; with YUEGUI squealing in fear...)
YAOYAO
(worried to XIANGLING) Oh no... you are PYRO... you will do me harm and my darling YUEGUI harm... sorry... sorry to disturb you.. I will leave you at once.
(XIANGLING fears being feared by others and speaks up...)
XIANGLING
(worried to YAOYAO) No.. no I will not hurt you... It was nice to meet a friend..., please.. please I assure you I will not hurt you... or YUEGUI...
(YAOYAO worries and remains unsure...)
YAOYAO
(worried to XIANGLING) are you sure? Are you sure you will not HURT ME? Are you SURE?
(XIANGLING assures YAOAYO)
XIANGLING
(assure YAOYAO) Yes... I assure you... please.. (worried) Fear not... I will not harm you..
YAOYAO
(breathes to XIANGLING) Okay... I trust.., I trust you...
(XIANGLING's fire within her hands disappear; as she proceeds to shake YAOYAO's hands... they smile. YAOYAO looks at the campfire still cooking and grilling XIANGLING's meal. XIANGLING questions YAOYAO to what is cooking...)
YAOYAO
(smiles to XIANGLING) So uh... I came here and approached you because of your cooking... what may I ask that you are cooking?
XIANGLING
(Smiles to YAOYAO) Well uh... my favourite... A STICKY HONEY ROAST... yummy..
YAOYAO
(Smiles to XIANGLING) Yes.. yes it sure smells yummy.
XIANGLING
(Smiles to YAOYAO) Nothing is nice to me until it is NICE AND SPICY...
(XIANGLING smiles..)
XIANGLING
(Smiles to YAOYAO) Oh uh... NICE AND SPICY is my catchphrase.. and yes I love cooking... it's my job and the best thing to do in the world.
YAOYAO
(Smiles to XIANGLING) Yes... we need food after all to increase our stamina..
XIANGLING
(Smiles to YAOYAO) yes... well that is right.
(YAOYAO and XIANGLING continue to smile at each other...)
# MINUTES PASS
(KAEYA enters the scene... with his ice-breaking SACRIFICAL SWORD; grinning at XIANGLING and YAOYAO. KAEYA speaks..)
KAEYA
(serious to XIANGLING) Okay PYRO girl... I sense flames inside your soul... and I believe you know where this DILUC is... you will TELL ME ALL I NEED TO KNOW..
(SHOCKED; XIANGLING and YAOYAO look at the serious KAEYA...)
XIANGLING
(shocked to KAEYA) How... how do you know I'm PYRO? How.. How?
KAEYA
(Firm to XIANGLING) I sense it in you... ICE breaks FIRE... and YOU WILL TELL ME all about the DARKNIGHT HERO now... I know all about the pyro family... dangerous and catastrophic... I know... SO TELL ME..
XIANGLING
(worried to KAEYA) I... I uh... I don't know where DILUC is... I'm telling you.. I DO NOT KNOW.
(XIANGLING worries... but breathes to remain calm...)
KAEYA
(firm to XIANGLING) Do not lie... I sense you know... all pyro souls know where each other are at MONDSTADT... do TELL or I will have to use force.
(XIANGLING's hand lights on fire; YAOYAO looks in shock and prepares to attack..)
XIANGLING
(warns KAEYA) If you are to use force; then I will have to use force..
KAEYA
(firm to XIANGLING) So be it...
(KAEYA angrily; bursts a large icicle from his hand towards XIANGLING. XIANGLING ducks; then fires back a fireball from her hand towards KAEYA... KAEYA blocks the attack with her sword... then fights XIANGLING. XIANGLINg falls... KAEYEA taunts her..)
KAEYA
(firm to XIANGLING) Oh yeah... I am ICE... the opposite of you... what makes you think you can WIN against an ICE GOD like myself... HA...
(XIANGLING down; looks up at KAEYA; attempting to be brave; and speaks firmly to KAEYEA)
XIANGLING
(firm to KAEYA) Leave us alone... there's no need for battle... there's plenty of slimes and hilchurls to fight... please...
KAEYA
(firm to XIANGLING) Not until you TELL ME Where the DARKNIGHT HERO is... NOW..
XIANGLING
(firm to KAEYA) I refuse... I will not give DILUC's location..
(YAOYAO bravely speaks up...)
YAOYAO
(firm to KAEYA) Leave us alone ICEMAN... please...
KAEYA
(shouts to XIANGLING & YAOYAO) Never...
(AS KAEYA is about to attack XIANGLING; YAOYAO bravely stands up; and uses her DENDRO ABILITIES against KAEYA. KAEYA is hit; and grunts..)
KAEYA
(annoyed to himself) DAMN DENDRO.. no... NO.. (firm to YAOYAO) Don't worry... we'll come after the DENDRO CLAN as well...
YAOYAO
(shouts to KAEYA) DOn't YOU DARE THREATEN my ELEMENTAL CLAN... DON'T YOU DARE.
(WITH ANGER AND BRUTE FORCE - YAOYAO proves her weighted small-persona force; and knocks KAEYA out with her DENDRO strength and force. KAEYA struggles to withstand YAOYAO's attacks; and falls..)
(KAEYA FALLS DOWN... XIANGLING IN SHOCK OF YAOYAO'S DENDRO ABILITIES LOOKS AT HER IN SHOCK..)
XIANGLING
(shocked to YAOYAO) You... you're DENDRO...
YAOYAO
(breathes to XIANGLING) Yes... yes..
(XIANGLING breathes and is thankful for YAOYAO saving her..)
XIANGLING
(thankful to YAO) Well uh... well... Thank you... thank you...
(YAOYAO breathes..)
YAOYAO
(breathes to XIANGLING) Yes... it's okay... no one hurts a friend like you..
(XIANGLINg smiles at YAOYAO's comment... A PAUSE...)
(THE SCENE ENDS with XIANGLING & YAOYAO hugging; becoming the best of friends. THE SCREEN CUTS TO BLACK..)
(FADE OUT: END OF STORY)
