1. Scene 1
19 linesHmm... Why can't I find it? Did someone take it?
Maybe I should search over there...
Monica? What are you doing here all alone?
Aldo!
Nothink. I was just thinking.
Oh? That's all right then.
Hey, wait! Um... Actually... Can I ask you a favor?
A favor? Sure. What is it?
Um... I lost somethink yesterday. So...can you help me find it?
Sure, I can help with that.
Really? Thanks!
So what did you lose?
It's a super pretty gold stone!
A stone, huh? And do you have any idea where you lost it?
The day I lost it, I was playin' in here with Serena. But now I can't find it. I put the stone in my pocket, but maybe it fell out when I was playin' in the dirt?
Hmm... So where were you playing?
Um... I'm pretty sure there was some field of flowers on the right! And... I think there was a door in front of me.
A flower field to the right, a door in front. Got it. Let's go take a look around.
Okay! Thanks!
2. Scene 2
36 linesIs this your missing stone, Monica?
Yeah! That's it! You found it!
I'm so glad. It's a beautiful stone all right. Where did you find it?
Elias gave it to me.
Elias?
Yeah. It was a little while ago...
Monica's practically a boy! She's always runnin' around outside! An' she's way stronger than us!
What did you say?!
Uh oh, she's mad now! Run away, Liam!
Wait for me, Nat!
Hmph. Such meanies. I just...
Monica, what's wrong?
Eep!
E-Elias? You scared me!
Oops, sorry. You okay though? You don't look so well.
That's not it.
...... Monica, gimme your hand.
Huh? What?
Whoa! A stone? It's so pretty!
It's yours now, Monica.
For real?!
For real. I've been collecting all kindsa pretty stones lately.
But keep this between us, okay? Otherwise the others might go out to the forest and look for 'em. This has gotta be our little secret.
Our little secret? But isn't this, like, special to you?
It is, but keep it anyway. It suits you.
I-It suits me? You really think so?
It shines gold like the sun, don't you think? And you're always bright and warm. Just like the sun.
The sun?
Teehee! Thanks, Elias! I'll take real good care of it!
Ah, so it's a treasure that Elias gave to you.
I-I wouldn't go that far! It's not a treasure, it's just...
Of course it is. Why else would you have been so desperate to find it again?
I guess so... Well, um... Thanks for finding it for me.
You're welcome. But try not to lose it again, okay?
I won't! Oh, I know. Take this as thanks!
See ya later!
