### Outside

*Scarlett and David are near a fence outdoors.*

Scarlett: I'm bored.

David: We need some adventure.

Scarlett: Hey, let's go and ask the weird old lady!

David: Yeah!

Scarlett: C'mon!

### The *Creepy Old Lady's* Patio

Scarlett: This place is creepy... where are we?

David: Let's just go find the creepy old lady...

*David and Scarlett walk ahead.*

David: I think I found her.

Creepy Old Lady: Well, hello, little children.

David: We're really bored and looking for adventure. Do you have any ideas?

Creepy Old Lady: Adventure, huh? Well, I can think of one thing you can go find.. Have you heard of the crystal ball?

David: That sounds boring.

Scarlett: Yeah.

Creepy Old Lady: Oh, no, it's not boring. Far from boring, you can find the future from the crystal ball. I think it would be a great adventure for you.

David + Scarlett: Okay.

David: How do we get there?

Creepy Old Lady: Well, here's a map that I have.

*The old lady pulls out a map.*

David: That's convenient.

*David reaches for the map, but the old lady pulls it away.*

Creepy Old Lady: It's gonna be filled with a lot of adventure, though. Are you up for it?

Scarlett: Yes..

David: Uh, sure?

Creepy Old Lady: Then take this map, and find the ball!

David: Okay.

*David and Scarlett walk away, and the old lady maniacally laughs.*

### The Back Door

*David and Scarlett are getting ready to embark on their journey.*

David: Wow. This looks like a pretty long trip...

Scarlett: Yeah.

David: This is gonna take a while.

Scarlett: Yeah. So, do you think we should go out this way, or the other way?

David: Probably this way. It seems easier.

*They exit.*

### Outside

*The main duo are on their adventure.*

David: Well, here we go.

Scarlett: Well, there's the big tree on the map.

David: Okay, we're almost there.

*Scarlett is distracted by a flower on the ground.*

Scarlett: Oh, a pretty flower.

David: Oops, wrong way.. I had the map upside down.

Scarlett: Oh..

David: Are you getting thirsty?

Scarlett: Ah, yes.

David: I am. Let's stop by that river over there.

*They stoop down by the river and take a drink, and continue on their journey.*

David: Okay, there's a big hill coming on the map.

*They walk up the hill.*

David: That's probably the biggest river we've seen this whole trip.

Scarlett: I know!

David: I don't see the house anywhere near us... But we are a little bit far from it. I hope this isn't a trick.

Scarlett: The lady... I don't think she would trick us.

David: Yeah.

Scarlett: Maybe she would.

David: She is pretty crazy, though.

*They walk ahead.*

David: Oh! I see the house.

*David points at the house.*

David: Let's go.

*As they walk, Scarlett looks down.*

Scarlett: There's a dead spider! ..Or, a bee.

David: Okay, let's see if anyone's in here. This place is pretty creepy..

Scarlett: Mhmm.

*David knocks on the door.*

David: Hello? *He pauses.* There's no one in there.

Scarlett: Yeah, let's go!

David: Come on.

### Haunted Mansion

*The main duo are walking through the haunted mansion.*

David: This place is really big.

Scarlett: I know.

David: And creepy.

Scarlett: Yes.

David: They need to state this place on the map.

*The ghost mutters.*

David: Do you hear that?

Scarlett: Uh, yes. It's like.. *She gulps.* Zombies..

Ghost: Don't come in here.

David: More like a ghost..

Scarlett: What said that?

David: I don't see anything.

Scarlett: Yeah...

*They walk into another room, and the ghost snarls.*

David: Did you see that thing move?!

*They run into another room.*

Ghost: Go away..

David: This is probably the creepiest room of them all..

Scarlett: Yeah.

David: Let's just find that stinkin' little ball!

Scarlett: Wait.. Let's stop, because I think I hear something following us!

*The ghost mutters again, and they run into another room.*

David: Where is that crystal ball?

*They enter a large room.*

David: Is that it?

Scarlett: Yes!

*They sit by it, mesmerized.*

Ghost: Don't touch the ball..

*Frightened, they take their hands off of the ball. Scarlett touches it again.*

Ghost: No...

David: Stop!

*The ghost appears inside of the ball.*

Ghost: Get out of my house!

*They scream.*

David: Let's just get this thing and go!

*He picks it up, and they run out.*

David: Come on, open the door for me! It's so heavy!

Scarlett: It's locked!

*They run to the door they came from.*

### David's Home

*They have the crystal ball inside of David's living room.*

David: Now that we have this thing, how does it work?

Scarlett: I don't know.. Maybe we should go and ask the weird old lady.
