(Scene one

Act one. Forest near Castle)

Enter Pip (to crowd)

Pip. Hello young people, are thee ready for a tale of a mischievous young fairy named Twill? Against the Elf Queen and King, he rebels. With help, he causes a new age to begin. Join me now; give me your hands; so as to build young Twill’s magic.

(Exit)

Enter Appleseed and Cherryblossom

Appleseed. Cherryblossom, where may Twill be? I must warn him of coming danger.

Cherryblossom. Went that way, thou went and in such a rush. Points off to stage left

(Appleseed Exit)

Enter Cassandra and Dewdrop

Cassandra. Edward! Edward, where art thou? Are you here in the forest? I swore I saw thou enter.

Dewdrop. Oh fair girl, does thou need help? Why does thou look so distressed?

Cherryblossom. Smacks Dewdrop in the back of the head Thou must use thy head. Thou just exposed us to a human girl.

Cassandra. Oh, my fair people. Have either of you two seen a boy by the name of Edward? He has disappeared and I’ve searched till the moon was dead center in the sky and beyond.

Enter Edward

Edward. My fair Cassandra, there you are.

Cassandra. Oh, Edward. Runs into awaiting arms

Cherryblossom. As these two embrace, we must take a leave. For if thou were caught with a human. The Queen would surely have our heads. But we do depart giving out greatest regard for the twos future. Now we leave.

(Exit Cherryblossom and Dewdrop)

Cassandra. I thought you might have perished, but if thee did, I would surely perish too.

Edward. Scoff the thought, for why would I perish, when nothing of consequence has happened. But ha, I laugh at the thought. (Flexes muscles)

Cassandra. Ha. Thou have always been a joker, but that does not change the state of my mind.

Edward. Sorry, can I repay thee with a kiss?

Cassandra. Thou may. (Edward reaches down and pecks her on the cheek)

Edward. Now I think we should be on our way.

Cassandra. As long as you tell me where thee went.

Edward. I promise thee…

(Exit talking)

Enter Francis, Damon, and Jacob

Damon. What are thou ding here, mutt?

Jacob. Making sure thou are behaving. (Growls)

Francis. Settle down, you two. We’re here peacefully. Thou have our highest promise.

Jacob. Better stay that way, bloodsucker. Or thee will pay.

Damon. Don’t worry, mutt. We’ll be good. (Growls)

Francis. We’ll be on our way.

(Exit all)
