Discovering the parasail

This is where the group find the parasail in *Return to the Mysterious Beyond*.

[after some walking, the group come up to a large tree, where in its branches they find a parasail chute caught in the branches.]

Gabby: Hey, this must the parasail Jerron and Mr. William were parasailing with!

Smolder: Then where are they?

Rockson Geo: Jerron!

Crystalynn Geo: Jerron!

Brian Griffin: Hold on, Mr. Geo, Mrs. Geo...

Crystalynn Geo: **JERRON!!!**

Brian Griffin: Mrs. Geo! (Crystalynn stops calling) Mrs. Geo, the chances are *remote* they're still in the vicinity.

Ocellus: Besides, we don't even know if either one of them has unharnessed themselves from the chute.

Silverstream: (O.S) Hey guys, I found something!

[All turn to see Silverstream picking up a life vest buried in the grass, which Rockson races over to look at it]

Rockson Geo: Young adult. This definitely fits Jerron's build.

Curbet Rain: Hey, I got something right here. (holding up a video camera encased in a waterproof shell.)

Crystalynn Geo: (races over to grab the camera) That's my camera!

Terramar: Perfect! Turn it on! Maybe we can see if they survived or not!

Crystalynn Geo: I can't, the battery's dead.

Curbet Rain: I got an idea. [he unscrews the bottom of his flashlight and takes out the batteries] Here, let me see the camera.

[it cuts to the others looking at the chute, then we hear the camera turn on as they walk over to watch what the camera has recorded on it]

[on the video, we see Jerron and Cosmo playing catch with a frisbee on the beach]

Jerron Geo: (on camera) Come on, Mum! (throws the Frisbee to Crystalynn but she can't catch it due to holding the camera)

Crystalynn Geo: (on camera) Jerron!

Jerron Geo: (on camera) Mum, you're supposed to catch it!

Cosmo William: (on camera) Sky high!

Silverstream: When was this taken?

Crystalynn Geo: I shot this on the morning they disappeared.

[back to the camera we see Cosmo and Jerron walking towards the dock where the parasail tow boat is]

Cosmo William: (on camera) No, no, no. I want that. Let me take that. Let me take that. Come on, give me that.

[the video cuts to the island from the opening, this time form their POV]

Jerron Geo: (on camera) See anything?

Cosmo William: (on camera) No, not yet.

[Ben then looks at Brian as they continue watching the clip, which is now where Cosmo and Jerron felt the jolt on the cable]

Jerron Geo: (on camera) What was that?

[on the camera we see the crewless boat]

Sandbar: So *that's* how they got stuck on the island.

Ocellus: Their boat was attacked.

Cosmo William: (on camera) Unclip us. There's a big clip!

Jerron Geo: (on camera) I can't see. I can't do it!

[the video then cuts to the 2 floating downwards to the jungle, Cosmo's legs in the foreground. Falling fast.]

Cosmo William: (on camera) Hand on! Hang on buddy!

[Now the camera penetrates the jungle canopy and the picture and sound become complete chaos: SCREAMS from the both, branches BREAKING, flashes of Cosmo and Jerron's frightened faces as the camera is buffeted in all directions. With a lurch the terrifying descent in finally over, and the jungle floor is just ten feet away, swaying back and forth beneath Cosmo and Jerron's feet.]

Cosmo William: (on camera) Are you ok, buddy? (There's gurgling to his voice. Cosmo may be more hurt than he's letting on.)

Jerron Geo: (on camera) I don't know. I think so.

Cosmo William: (on camera) We're okay. It's going to be okay. Here, get ready. I'm going to unhook you. 1, 2, 3!

[Jerron is unhooked from the parasail and the sound of pumpling is followed by the sight of Jerron dropping into the frame, landing on the ground rolling. He stands and looks back up at Cosmo]

Jerron Geo: (on camera) I'm all right

Cosmo William: (O.S) (weaker) We're going to get out of this, pal.

Jerron Geo: (on camera as he unties his life-vest) The camera's still on.

[And on that, the power and picture fade away.]

Terramar: Hey, wait a minute. What happened? Turn that thing back on!

Curbet Rain: That's it, there's nothing more.

Rockson Geo: He's alive. Everything's going to be all right now.

Yona: Well, we know Jerron got off parasail, but we not know where Mr. William is.

Terramar: You think Red Claw, Thud, and Screech ate him?

Yona: Maybe. But don't know yet.

Gabby: What do you suppose happened to their boat?

Ocellus: I'm truthfully at a loss on this one. It could've been anything.

Gallus: Maybe Pteranodons?

Sandbar: It couldn't have been. If it were, then Cosmo and Jerron would've been eaten too. No, whatever killed the crew in the boat came from the water.

Smolder: A Mosasaur?

Ocellus: (shaking her head) No, then they'd be no boat left to drive on.

Silverstream: I bet it was a plesiosaur. The long neck would've easily reached into the boat and grabbed them!

Ocellus: Maybe. Should we have a reason to come back here, we'll have to try and find Elsie and ask her if she saw what happened.

Brian Griffin: We'll worry about what happened to them later. For now, we have to get that parasail down from that tree. [turns to the parasail] (to Ben) Can you fly this?

Ben Joseph: Maybe. If the sail is not torn. But I'm a little rusty.

Brian Griffin: Well, let's get it out of the tree.

[they begin to try and untangle the chute from the tree]

Ben Joseph: Why do you want this?

Brian Griffin: If we spot a plane, it might be a good way to get attention.

Ben Joseph: Oh, I gotcha.

[Brian and Ben continue to try and get the chute out of the tree.]

Ben Joseph: Pull it this way.

[As they do so, the sail gets caught on a branch. They pull harder. The branch bends, but the sail won't come loose.]

Brian Griffin: Dammit, it's stuck.

[both start grunting as they to try and loosen the chute, but each time the branch only bends each time they pull]

Smolder: Hey, let me give you guys a hand. (flies up to grab the chute from a better grabbing point as all 3 pull the sail, then with a "snap"! The branch breaks, the chute falls away to reveal…]

[As Crystalynn turns, we suddenly see what remains of Cosmo falling from the tree before bumping right in Crystalynn]

Crystalynn Geo: (stares wide-eyed before letting out a horrendous scream as she struggles to get the corpse off herself.)

[upon hearing the scream, the others look back and jump at the sight of the skeleton stuck to Crystalynn, not before Rockson rushes over and tries to get the corpse off of Crystalynn]

Rockson Geo: Hold on, I got it!

Crystalynn Geo: (still trying to get free) **GET THIS OFF ME!!!** Oh, my God, it's Cosmo!

Rockson Geo: Hang on! Hang on! I got it!

[Rockson soon manages to get it loose as Curbet grabs Crystalynn to try and help get her free from the chute.]

Crystalynn Geo: **MY GOD!! GET IT OFF!!!**

[Gallus and Sandbar then race over to try and help as Gallus pulls on the ropes from above, while Sandbar pulls on the straps that have wrapped around Crystalynn]

Crystalynn Geo: (still screaming, as she pulls on the last strap) **GET... IT... OFF... ME!!!**

[finally the skeleton is off of Crystalynn turns away and then smacks away Curbet's arms off her]

Rockson Geo: Okay, you're free.

Crystalynn Geo: (screams as she rubs herself down) AH! (and then takes off running) **GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!!!** (yells out other random words as she runs away)

Brian Griffin: Get her back, Mr. Geo!

Rockson Geo: Crystalynn! (chases after her) Wait!

Gabby: Oh, my God, this is so gross!

Smolder: (pulls the last bit of the chute off from the tree as it comes landing onto ground)

Ocellus: Well, Yona, *now* we know what happened to Mr. William.

Yona: Yeah, but now yak wishes she *didn't.*

Silverstream: (holding her stomach with a green face) Me too! (covers her mouth as her cheeks bulge out as her pupils shrink to pinpricks, before turning away and she drops her lunch on the ground rather violently)

Brian Griffin: (with a look of annoyance) Oh, that's *real* nice.

Silverstream: (pants as she turns around to face Brian) You *know* I *can't* handle things like this very good!

Smolder: (flying back down) Well, we better get this corpse off the chute if we intend to use it at all.

Gallus: Then what we supposed to do with the body?

Ocellus: We can't take it with us. It will only attract predators.

Gabby: But we can't leave it here! Not out in the open anyway!

Smolder: Then, we'll bury it! (gets to work unhooking the skeleton from the chute) At least we can mark the spot so if his relatives wanna possible get the body for a proper funeral, we can dig up the ashes for them.

[Then it cuts back to Rockson chasing Crystalynn]

Rockson Geo: Crystalynn! Crystalynn.... [he grabs her hoof as she pulls it away from him] Crystalynn... [he grabs her and hugs her] Stop! Stop! I'm sorry. I'm sorry about Cosmo.

Crystalynn Geo: (frustrated) It's not Cosmo, Rock. It's Jerron. He's out there all by himself.

Rockson Geo: I know, I know.

Crystalynn Geo: Our baby is out here all by himself.

Rockson Geo: Listen to me. We *will* find him. I promise.

Crystalynn Geo: (notices something) Rock.

[Rockson turns to where Crystalynn is looking and his eyes widen in surprise as it cuts back to the others with Ben folding up the parasail]

Rockson Geo: (O.S.) Mr. Griffin! You might wanna take a look at this!
