Act One: Scene Five

## Draft 1

*(SOPHIE blinks awake, she's laying the the Healing Center, FITZ is on the cot next to her and ELWIN, KEEFE and DEX are hovering around her.)*

**SOPHIE:** What- what happened?

**KEEFE:** She's alive!

**ELWIN:** Sophie, what the heck happened?

**DEX:** She just asked the same question, I doubt she knows.

**KEEFE:** Foster and Fitzter threw each other into the wall! it was crazy!

**SOPHIE:** We didn't...

**ELWIN:** Here, drink this. *(He hands SOPHIE a bottle of youth.)* Just take a deep breath and tell me what happened.

*(SOPHIE takes a long sip.)*

**SOPHIE:** I was up against Fitz in the splotching match-

**KEEFE:** She beat all the older kids.

**DEX:** She beat me too.

**KEEFE:** What? Like it's hard?

*(DEX glares at KEEFE.)*

**ELWIN:** Would you two stop interrupting?

**KEEFE:** Excuse me, my insight is a blessing.

**DEX:** Keep telling yourself that.

**ELWIN:** Anyways! As you were saying, Sophie?

**SOPHIE:** Um, yeah. So I was up against Fitz and he threw the splotcher in the air and I pushed it and then we both went flying.

**FITZ:** Yeah it was weird, It was like my energy rebounded for something.

**KEEFE:** ELWIN, FITZ IS AWAKE!!

**ELWIN:** Yes, I heard, Keefe. *(ELWIN goes to FITZ and begins flashing lights around him.)* It is curious though, I've never heard of something like that happening.

**KEEFE:** I guess Foster's just special.

**SOPHIE:** *(blushes)* No, I'm not-

**FITZ:** What if it was a brain push? I'm not strong enough, but Sophie might be. *(SOPHIE blushes harder.)*

**ELWIN:** Hmmm, it's possible.... why don't you two ask your Telepathy Mentors? In the meantime, lets get your injuries taken care of, shall we?

*(SOPHIE freezes.)*

**SOPHIE:** Wait! I- I'm fine really!

**ELWIN:** Sophie, I can see down to your cells, you're not fine. I can fix it no problem, though.

*(Cut to flashbacks of SOPHIE in the hospital when she was 5 years old. Her screaming and needles and beeping sounds and such.)*

**SOPHIE:** No! I'm fine! *(She scrambles away from him.)*

**ELWIN:** Sophie? What's wrong?

**SOPHIE:** *(hisses)* Stay away!

**KEEFE:** Whaaaaat the heck is happening?

**DEX:** I'm gonna hail Grady,

**FITZ:** Probably a good idea.

**DEX:** No one asked you, Wonderboy. *(He leaves the room.)*

**FITZ:** What's his problem?

**KEEFE:** I reeeeally wonder.

*(Meanwhile, SOPHIE is hiding under a cot.)*

**ELWIN:** Sophie, It's okay. It's not going to hurt you!

*(GRADY and DEX enter.)*

**GRADY:** Elwin, What happened? Declan called me and said Sophie was freaking out!

**DEX:** It's Dex.

**ELWIN:** I said I was going to treat her and she freaked out. She got hurt during the splotching match.

*(GRADY looks at SOPHIE. She hisses at him.)*

**GRADY:** *(crouching in front of her)* Hey, kiddo. You're gonna be okay, he's not gonna hurt you. He wants to help.

**SOPHIE:** No needles!

**KEEFE:** *(whispering to FITZ)* What's a needle?

**FITZ:** *(whispering back)* Human thing.

**KEEFE:** Ah.

**ELWIN:** No needles, Sophie. Just an elixir.

**SOPHIE:** Does it hurt?

**ELWIN:** Not even a little bit. *(He holds it out to her, she takes it warily and gulps it down.)*

**GRADY:** Now come on out from under the cot.

**SOPHIE:** Fine. *(She crawls out.)*

*(SILVENY screams at her telepathically. SOPHIE jumps and hits her head on the cot.)*

**GRADY:** What is it?

**SOPHIE:** Someone's screaming! *(SOPHIE jumps to her feet and races outside with KEEFE, DEX, ELIWN, FITZ, and GRADY following.)*

*(They run outside and see SILVENY tangled in a bush and having a total meltdown. Two GNOMES and THE HEKSES are unsuccessfully attempting to get her out.)*

**KEEFE:** HOLY GULON FARTS!

**GRADY:** I'll say,

**SOPHIE:** What's going on??

**GNOME ONE:** She just appeared here and dove into the bushes and got stuck. We've been trying to calm her down, but she wont respond.

*(GNOME TWO approaches SILVENY, who is flapping her wings wildly.)*

**STINA:** Calm down you stupid horse. We aren't going to hurt you!

*(SOPHIE rushes over.)*

**ELWIN:** Sophie, stop, you just sustained a major injury!

**KEEFE:** Yeah! Wait for me! *(He runs after her.)*

*(SOPHIE stands in front of the bucking alicorn, holding out her palms to her)*

**SOPHIE:** Hey there girl, It's okay.

*(SILVENY looks at her and calms slightly. SOPHIE edges forward. Black Swan's Lullaby begins.)*

**SOPHIE:** *Sing swan, spring swan, then lets fly (she reaches for SILVENY)*

*Follow the pretty bird across the sky*

*Call swan, fall swan, then let's rest (she strokes SILVENY's nose)*

*Tucked in the branches of your quiet nest.*

*(SILVENY nickers and nudges SOPHIE's hand. Black Swan's Lullaby ends.)*

**STINA:** How'd you do that!?

**SOPHIE:** I- I don't know...

**GRADY:** Maybe your human music calmed her down.

*(SOPHIE pales.)*

**KEEFE:** What's up, Foster, your emanating terror.

**SOPHIE:** I just- I just... I've never heard that song before in my life.

**FITZ:** Well, that's....

**KEEFE:** Odd? Strange? Peculiar? Befuddling?

**FITZ:** *(Eye roll)* Yeah.

**TIMKIN:** Does it matter how she did it? I found an Alicorn.

**STINA:** Technically it was me.

**GNOME ONE:** *Technically,* it was *me*.

**TIMKIN:** Whatever. The point is, the Council must be alerted ASAP.

**GRADY:** Good point, Timkin. Why don't you do that, then? I'll take the Alicorn back to Havenfield.

**TIMKIN:** *(Splutters)* I think noT!

**KEEFE:** Why not? Foster's calmed her down-

**SOPHIE:** *(Looking into SILEVNY's eyes)* Silveny. That's her name.

**KEEFE:** Okaaaaay. Foster calmed Silveny down, She should stay with her just in case.

**GRADY:** Makes sense to me.

**TIMKIN:** *(Sighing)* Fine. I'll go hail the Council.

**FITZ:** And I'll hail my dad. He'll want to be there as well.

**GRADY:** Perfect, Sophie, you and That Boy come along. I'll need your extra help to light leap her.

**DEX:** What about me?

**GRADY:** What? Oh yes, You can come too, Desmond.

**DEX:** *(Muttering)* It's *DEX!*

*(The four of them light leap to Havenfield. THE COUNCIL, EDALINE, ALDEN and FITZ are waiting.)*
