Chapter 2: Twin Seeds & Meeting New Friends (AKA: Elliot Edwards & Claris Sinclair)

When she and her friends stepped out of the portal, they find themselves in the city that is filled with people.
"Woah, I can't believe it!" Sylvia said with a smile.
"Sylvia, where are we?" Dana asks.
"I think we're in the city."
"Yeah, and there's a lot of people!" Tony said.
"And huge buildings!" Dana said.
"Is this where we can find the jester?" David asks.
"I don't know, but I think the jester's not here," Sylvia replied.
"Man, this place is too big!" Steve said.
"Yeah, I think it's time to figure out where we are," Sylvia told her friends.
"Great idea, then our adventure in this new place… has begun!"
"Come on, let's ask someone!"

Sylvia and her friends began to explore the new city, the kids were surprised that the city was amazing.
"Wow, well you look at that!" Tony said.
"It's bigger than our hometown!" Dana said.
"Yeah. Sylvia, if the jester's not here, then we're gonna ask someone to tell us where we are?"
"Yes. So they can give us answers about this place!" Sylvia told them.
"Now you're talking!" Steve said.
"Come on, let's ask them!"

Sylvia and the others began talking to other people to ask them where they are, but they started to ignored them, they decided to give up.
"Well guys, we tried," she said.
"Oh, man," David said.
Dana gets an idea, "Hey guys, I have an idea!"
"What is it, Dana?"
"Why don't we split-up and find someone to tell us where we are?"
"Dana, are you sure?" Steve asked.
"Of course, we can find someone who can give us an answer."
"Great! Alright, here's what we're gonna do: me and Dana are gonna explore east, while you boys explore right here," Sylvia said.
"Yeah, but we don't wanna get caught!" David said.
"Okay, and we'll met up back here when we're done!"
"Alright, see you girls later!" Tony said.
"Bye!" Sylvia and Dana said as they run off.
"Okay, come on, guys! Let's find someone who can tell us about this place!"

Steve, Tony and David started to look around the city.
"Man, how are we gonna find him or her?" Steve asked.
"Yeah, we've been looking for someone and now we're very tired." David said.
"I'm sorry, guys. But we can rest here, we gotta stay under control!" Tony replied.
"Yeah, why don't we play basketball at the court?" David asks, pointing at the basketball court.
"Wait, did you say basketball?" Steve asks.
"Yeah, it's right over there."
The boys looked to the right and saw a basketball court with a painting mural on the wall and parking lots.
"Wow!" The boys said.
"I don't believe it," said Steve.
"I've never seen this place before!" David said.
"And there's a painting of a lovely, sunny paradise!"
Tony looks down and sees a basketball, laying on the ground.
"Guys, there's a basketball on the ground." Tony said, picking up a ball.
"There is?"
"Really?"
"Yeah, instead of asking someone, why don't we play?" Tony asks.
"Great idea!" They said.
"Alright, let's play!"

Tony bounces the ball and begins to run towards the hoop.
Steve blocks him, "Aha! I gotcha now!"
Tony grabbed the ball and passes him.
"Hey!" Steven shouted.
Tony jumped and throws a basketball down the hoop.
"Great job, Tony!" David said.
"Thanks, I'm doing great at basketball skills!" Tony replied.
David takes the ball from Tony's hands, "Now it's my turn!"
"Okay David, go for it!"
David runs back to the start as he bounced the ball up and down, Steve comes up behind him.
"Don't forget, I'm right behind you." Steve told him.
"Okay, let's get started!" David said.
David ran for the hoop as he bounced the ball, Tony blocks him.
"Now I'm blocking you, this time!" Tony said.
"Oh yeah?" David said.
David jumps and throws a basketball to the hoop as Tony tries to catch it, but the ball made it to the hoop and falls through it.
David raised his arms in the air, "Score!"
"Nice job, David. Now it's Steve's turn!" Tony said, as he spins the basketball on his right finger.
"Okay, throw it at me!" Steve said.
Tony throws the basketball as Steve tries to catch it.
"I got it! I got it!"
As Steve catches the ball from his hands, he bumps someone behind him as they noticed that three bullies are right behind him.
"Uh, Steve?" Tony questioned.
Steve turned and saw a Blond-Hair Boy and his buddies, starring at them.
David gulped in fear, "Uh, oh."
"Hey, are you kids new around here?" The Blond-Hair Boy asks.
"Yes we are," said Steve.
"We were just visiting here, that's all." Tony said.
"What do you want from us?" David asks.
"Well, we saw you three playing basketball and we were just wondering if we can play a fun game with you three, since you're new around here." The Blond-Haired Boy said.
"Okay, then I'm in!" David said.
"David, this is not a good time to challenge those guys!" Tony said to David.
"Oh, right."
"Really, then how about we can hurt you instead!"
"Great idea!" Said the Red-Haired Boy.
"We can beat them up for sure!" Said the Green-Haired chad.
The three bullies started to walked towards them as Steve and the boys stood back.
"No, don't hurt us!" Steve screamed.
"We'll challenge you to a game!" Tony said.
"Well too bad, here comes the beatings!" The Blond-Hair Boy yelled.
They were about to beat up Steve and his friends when a voice yelled out, "Hey! Leave those kids alone!"
Steve & his friends looked behind the bullies and saw a boy with blue hair and his basketball team.
"Who are those guys?" David asks Tony.
"I don't know," answered Tony.
The blue-haired boy and his teammates walked up to the bullies.
"What are you doing here?" The Blond-Haired Boy asked.
"We came here to stop you from hurting those kids!" The Blue-Haired Boy said.
"Thank goodness, we're safe!" Steve said.
"Oh, then why not?"
"Because picking on someone was not a good thing!"
"Like you can do anything?"
"That's right, and now I want you guys to them alone at once."
"Yeah, leave them alone!" His friend said.
"And promise that you'll never pick on anybody ever again!" His other friend said.
"Okay, okay, we promised!" The Blond-Haired Boy said.
"Good, now let them be," the Blue-Haired Boy said.
The three bullies left the basketball court as Tony and his friends sighed.
"Man, that was a close one!" Tony said to his friends.
"You said it!" Steve said.
The Blue-Haired Boy walks over and helps Tony and his friends up.
"You guys okay?"
"Yeah, we're fine."
"Thanks for saving us!"
"And your friends!"
"Oh, it was our pleasure!" His friend said.
"Yeah, we taught those boys a lesson!" His other friend said.
Steve and his friends dusted themselves as they look at the Blue-Haired Boy and his friends.
"Hey, we didn't even know your name," David said.
"My name's Elliot, Elliot Edwards. What's yours?" The Blue-Haired Boy (Elliot Edwards) introduced himself.
"I'm Steve!"
"I'm Tony!"
"And I'm David!"
"Well, it's nice to meet you!" Elliot said, shaking their hands.
"And who are your friends?" Tony asked.
"Oh, that's my friends: Jason and Dylan," Elliot replied.
"Hey there!" They said.
"Nice to meet ya, guys!" Tony and friends said, shaking Jason and Dylan's hands.
"Well guys, it looks like you don't need to worry about Roger and his buddies." Elliot said to his new friends.
"Yeah, but who's Roger?" Steve asks.
"That boy with blond hair you've met." Jason said.
"Oh, well he wasn't nice." David said.
"Tell me about it!" Dylan said.
"So what are you guys doing here?" Steve asked.
"We came here to play basketball until we saw you getting attacked by Roger and his friends."
"Yeah, we were playing basketball when Roger showed up."
"Oh, okay. Are you kids new around here?"
"Uh…" David wondered.
"Yes, yes we are!" Steve said.
"We just moved here!" Tony said.
"Oh, wow. I didn't know if we had new friends moved here."
"Yeah, and sometime everybody needs friends, you and your friends, and us!" Steve said.
"Wanna learn more?" Tony asks Elliot.
Elliot look at Jason & Dylan, "Okay, sure."
"Alright, hit it!"

The song begins to start up as Tony and his friend started to sing-along.

Tony:

You meet all kinds of people on the road of life,
And you don't know who's waiting 'round the bend.
But wherever you travel on the road of life,
You can bet that you're gonna need friends!

Steve:

There'll be friends that you hardly ever see at all,
There'll be friends that you see most of the time.
David: But that one special friend who is the best of all,
Is a treasure you're lucky to find.

Tony, David & Steve:

Cause people needs friends!
Everybody needs friends!

Elliot, Jason & Dylan decided to join in with them.

Elliot:

Making a friend isn't always easy,
What do I have to do.
Try making someone feel so special,
Special just like you!

Dylan:

Oh, you'll go on your way and do the things you do,
To make friendships that laugh and grow and grow!

Jason:

Just remember who makes it all worthwhile for you,
Yes, it's friends and by now we all now know!

Elliot, Jason & Dylan:

To make friendships that laugh and grow and grow!

Tony:

Yes, it's friends and by now we all now know!

David:

That people need friends!

All:

Everybody needs friends!
Everybody needs friends!

"That was fun!" Steve said.
"I'm glad that we have new friends!" David said.
"Yeah, but… can you tell us where we are? We're kinda lost." Tony asked them.
"Why, you're in Twin Seeds, of course!" Elliot said to his new friends.
"Twin Seeds?" Steve, Tony and David asked.
"Yeah, this is where I lived!" Elliot explained.
"We lived on our hometown, back home." Steve said.
"Oh, you do? Well tell me about your home-" Elliot then said, before noticing someone's singing voice.
"You okay, Elliot?" Dylan asked.
"Oh! Uh… i'm fine, okay." Elliot said to his friends.
"You're daydreaming, aren't you?" Jason asked.
"No, no I wasn't."
"Good."
"So anyways, want to watch us play basketball?"
"Okay, we'll watch you!"
"Great, come on guys!"
Elliot and his teammates walked onto the court as he picks up his basketball.
"Ready, set… go!" Dylan said.
Elliot ran for the hoop as he bounced the ball while Jason tries to catch him.
"Go Elliot, go!" Tony shouted at him.
Dylan blocks him for purpose, but Elliot dodges him.
"Hey!" Dylan shouted.
Elliot jumps really high and slams the ball through the hoop.
"Yay!" The boys cheered.
"Nice one, Elliot!" Jason said.
Elliot and his basketball teams look at their new fitness, "Wanna come play with us?"
"We like too!" They said.
"Okay, let's play!"
Elliot and his friends started to play basketball.

Meanwhile on other side of Twin Seeds, Sylvia and Dana continued searching for someone who can give them a hint.
"Did you find someone?" Sylvia asks.
"No, but did you try to ask them?" Dana asked.
"I did, but they couldn't."
"Hey, why don't we go to the park and ask someone?"
"That'll work."
Sylvia and Dana walked over to the park.
"Are you sure that's gonna work, Sylvia?"
"Yeah, all we have to do is find someone who can give us a clue."
Just then, they heard someone singing.
"You hear something?" Dana asks.
"I think I heard someone singing," said Sylvia.
"It's coming from over there."
"Alright, let's go!"
Sylvia and Dana ran to the fountain and found someone who is singing, it was a girl was pink hair who is singing her song.
"It's a girl!" Dana said.
"And she's singing!" Sylvia said.
"Maybe we can tell her about where we are!"
"Sounds like a good idea, but I wonder what she's singing about."
Sylvia and Dana watch the Pink-Haired Girl continued singing when the music started up.

Pink-Haired Girl:

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy see Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee Who wert and art, and evermore shalt be

The girls decided to join her in song since they've sang worship songs.

Sylvia & Dana:

Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee Perfect in power, love, and purity

Sylvia, Dana & Pink-Haired Girl:

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

"Oh, hi there! I didn't know you girls are new!" The Pink-Haired Girl said.
"Yeah, we just moved here from our hometown: Santa Cruz." Sylvia said.
"And started to explore the city, until we heard your singing voice." Dana told the girl.
"My voice? Why, thank you."
"You're welcome. Can you tell us where we are?"
"We just wanted to know what this place is."
"Well, you're in luck! This is Twin Seeds, it's where I lived." The Pink-Haired Girl said.
"Oh, okay. My name's Sylvia!"
"I'm Dana!"
"Well, it's nice to meet you two. I'm Claris Sinclair!" The Pink-Haired Girl (Claris Sinclair) introduced herself.
"Hi, Claris!" Dana said.
"So tells us, why are you exactly here?" Sylvia asked.
"I was just singing my heart out for Twin Seeds, that's all." Claris told them.
"Oh, that's cool."
"Also, I lived at the two-story house, far away from the Seeds' Tower." Claris said, pointing at the tower.
"Wow!" They both said.
"You know, we have other friends named Steve, Tony and David."
"Oh, really?"
"Uh-huh.."
"Well, I just loved to sing!"
"Yeah, and what are you doing singing outside?"
"I'm practicing for the auditions of Twin Dreams at the Seeds Tower." Claris said, pulling out an invitation.
"Wow!" They said in amazed.
"Yeah, and it's gonna be on Saturday, I can't hardly wait!"
"Us too!" Sylvia replied.
"I bet if you two won't mind staying at my house for a while."
"That's great, but we gotta find our friends!" Dana said.
"Oh, okay. See you guys later!"
"Keep on practicing, remember?" Sylvia told her.
"Oh yeah, remind me that! Don't forget to visit my music call tomorrow!"
"We will!"
Claris waved goodbye to her new friends as they left the park.
"Now where as I…? Oh yeah, practicing!" Claris said to herself, then she continued practicing.

Meanwhile, Tony and his friends are still playing basketball with Elliot & friends.
"Darn! I missed the ball!" David said.
"Now for a slam-dunk!" Elliot said as he jumps up and throws the ball down the hoop.
"Nice going, Elliot!" Steve said, giving him a thumbs up.
"Way to go!" Jason said.
Elliot lets go of the hoop and lands on his feet.
Steve and the others run up to him and giving hi-fives.
"Thanks guys!" Elliot told them.
David looks at the Seeds Tower, "Hey guys, look at the tower!"
Tony and Steve turned and saw the tower that is huge.
"Woah, what's that?" Tony asked.
"That is the Twin Seeds tower!"
"An auditorium?" Steve questioned.
"Yeah, where people can see Broadway shows." Jason told them.
"And I lived at my apartment, when I look at it from my window." Elliot tells them.
"Cool."
"We have two friends named Sylvia and Dana." David said to them.
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah, we came from Santa Cruz." Tony said.
"Woah, Santa Cruz? That's a cool place." Elliot said.
"Yeah, it's where we lived." Steve said to them.
"It has buildings, stores, our school and the amusement park!" Tony explained.
"Well, that is a great place to visit there." Dylan said.
"Uh-huh." David said.
Just then, her mother calls out to him.
"Elliot! It's time to go!" Her mother said.
"Okay, just a second! Hey, I gotta go, my mother's waiting for me!" Elliot said.
"That's your mother?" Steve said.
"Yeah. Anyways, bye guys!" Elliot said, then leaves with his mother.
"Bye Elliot!" They said.
"Hey, we had to go find our friends. We'll come back tomorrow." Tony said to them.
"Okay, see you guys later!" Dylan said.
"Come back and play with us!" Jason said.
Tony, Steve and David waved goodbye to Dylan and Jason as they left to find Sylvia & Dana.

Sylvia and Dana tries to find the boys.
"Where could they be?" Dana asked.
Sylvia looks around and saw Tony and his friends.
"There they are!" Sylvia said.
Steve, Tony and David finds Sylvia and Dana, waving at them.
"Guys look! There's Sylvia and Dana!" Tony said, pointing at the girls.
The kids finally up to each other.
"Did you talked to someone where we are?" Dana asks.
"No, but we played basketball!" David said.
"Basketball, really?" Sylvia asks.
"Yes."
"And we were about to get attacked by Roger, until a boy and his team named Elliot, Dylan and Jason, who saved us and they said that we're in Twin Seeds," Steve said.
"Oh, well me and Dana met a girl named Claris when we heard her voice."
"We heard it too!" David said.
"You girls found someone?" Tony asks, the girls nodded.
"Oh, and you said that you met Claris?"
"Yes."
"And she said that was practicing for the auditions," Sylvia said.
"For what show?" Steve asks.
"Twin Dreams, of course."
"Woah," the boys said.
Sylvia looked at the sun that it's setting, "It's getting late, we should probably sleep somewhere."
"But where can we sleep?" Tony asks.
"Don't worry, guys. I know a place that we can sleep! Follow me!"

The kids followed Sylvia to a darkened alleyway as they looked around.
"Is this the place where we can sleep?"
"Yeah, allow me," she said.
Sylvia pulled out her magic box and opens it, and a tent pops out of the chest.
"Sounds like a good idea, Sylvia," said Dana.
Sylvia opened the tent and they find sleeping bags for five.
"It has sleeping bags!" Steve said.
"I wonder if I should pick?" Dana said.
"I choose the purple one, Dana can have a pink one, Steve can have a red one, Tony can pick blue and David can have yellow."
"Why yellow?" David asks.
"But you had a same color of your hair," Dana told him.
"Oh, I see."
Sylvia and her friends got into their sleeping bags and discussing over.
"Wow, that was great time you had with Claris for the first time!" Steve told her.
"Yeah, singing-along with her." Sylvia said.
"Me, Tony and David played basketball with Elliot and his teammates," David said to the girls.
"And he told us about the tower that has shows!" Steve said.
"Well, Claris told us about it." Dana replied.
"Yeah, imagine if we're on broadway."
"Uh-huh, so I could be an actor!"
"Or a talented singer!"
"Yeah, but I wanna be a basketball player!"
"Me too!"
"You know, it's 10pm, we better get some shuteye," Sylvia said.
"But what about the jester we saw in our dreams?" Tony asks.
"Yeah, what if we saw them again?" Dana asks.
"Don't worry about the jester, guys," Sylvia told them, "i'm sure that figure will appear our dreams, somehow."
"Of course, goodnight guys." Steve said, then he and his friends went to sleep.
"Okay, goodnight guys." Sylvia said.
Sylvia and her friends went to sleep.
On the top of the seeds tower, a purple jester who was playing an invisible flute and started flying away.
