The Journey Begins

Chase: *Three hours later.* Can we rest? I’m really tired.

Josh: Did you not listen? You were supposed to train and be ready for this.

Chase: No I didn’t. Sorry. Geez, sorry I didn’t believe this was real.

Sara: Maybe we should rest and get to know each other.

Nicole: I agree.

Josh: Fine whatever. *Stops and sets up camp.*

Sara: *Starts a small fire.* What does anyone want for dinner?

Nicole: Umm… I don’t know but I’ll help. *Someone wanders upon the campsite.*

Josh: Excuse me, but who are you?

????: My name is Jon. And I’m supposed to meet up with you.

Josh: You’re not very young.

Sara: Josh be nice, we’ll be glad to have you with us.

Jon: Thank you very much. *Sets up a tent*

Sara: Okay, Nicole let’s make dinner.

Josh: So, Chase do you have a girlfriend?

Chase: No, and it doesn’t matter.

Josh: I don’t have one either.

Chase: That’s good for you, I don’t care.

Josh: I’m only trying to get to know you.

Sara: You know it doesn’t mean we have to ask personal questions.

Josh: Whatever.

Nicole: I think dinner’s done.

Josh: Yes! Steaks!

Sara: Everyone came around the campfire. *Everyone comes around the campfire.*

Chase: These are really good.

Jon: Yes they are. Thank you girls for making dinner.

Sara: I think we should stay here until we have some type of plan.

Josh: I already know what we have to do so let’s just go.

Chase: No, I really think we should try to understand the situation and decide the steps we need to take.

Josh: I understand perfectly well of what’s going on.

Jon: If I may add, I really don’t think you do.

Josh: Actually I do know.

Jon: Have you been to the kingdom where all there is, is ice? Everything is made from ice. All the buildings and roads are made of ice.

Josh: Yes I have why?

Jon: Recently?

Josh: No.

Jon: Then there’s my point. The ice has all melted.

Josh: So what’s your point?

Jon: My point is the fact that you don’t really understand the problem.

Chase: *Staring off into space.*

Nicole: Is something wrong Chase?

Chase: No nothing’s wrong.

Josh: Ok so if you know so damn much about the situation, where do we go?

Jon: We need to find the source for the ice melting. Many people are depending on us.

Josh: Why can’t we just go to the place for our destiny to be fulfilled?

Jon: This is to fulfill your destiny.

Chase: He’s right, let’s go. *Gets up very quickly.*

Nicole: Whoa dude! What has made you so excited to leave?

Chase: Remember like six months ago when my mother brought me here away from danger?

Nicole: Yeah.

Chase: She brought me from the ice kingdom. I remember mom saying that one day I would have a destiny. That one day I would have to go back. Today is that day.

Nicole: Oh!!

Jon: So it’s you.

Chase: Me what?

Jon: You’re the chosen one.

Josh: If you’re thinking about drawing your sword, you’ll have to go through me.

Sara: Oh so now you’re going to defend him?

Josh: No I’m not!

Sara: Are too!

Josh: Not!
Sara: Are!

Josh: Not!

Sara: Are!

Chase: *At the top of his lungs* SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!

Josh: Whoa!

Chase: *calms down a little* Look I don’t care if he does want to fight. I want to hear what he has to say!

Nicole: Chase relax please.

Jon: I don’t want to fight. Since you’re the chosen one you have to collect crystals and bring them back to the chosen tree.

Chase: Ok, so let’s go.

Josh: Aren’t you jumping the gun a little bit?

Chase: What do you mean?

Josh: You don’t even know him and you’re going to trust him?

Chase: I don’t know you, but I’m trusting you am I not?

Josh: Well that’s different.

Chase: How so?

Josh: He’s just been feeding you with information you think is interesting and pertains to you.

Chase: Fine! You don’t have to come with me; I’ll go alone if I have to. *takes his tent down, packs his things, and starts off in the direction of the ice kingdom.*

Nicole: *Scrambles around to gather her things* WAIT FOR ME!!! *Runs after him.*

Josh: I can’t believe he just did that!

Sara: I can’t believe you did.

Josh: What? I didn’t do anything.

Jon: While you two argue, I’m going to go after my s… the chosen one for the ice kingdom.

Josh: Your what?

Jon: Nothing, I’m going after them, are you coming?

Josh: Why should I?

Jon: Because you were all chosen to do something for your world, to save it. Now it’s just will you step up and protect what you have grown to love? If so, I suggest you get your things and go after them. *Gathers his things and starts after Chase and Nicole.*

Sara: Come on Josh, what do we have to lose?

Josh: My sanity.

Sara: You lost that a long time ago.

Josh: yeah, whatever, let’s just go. *goes after Jon* Jon wait! I don’t want to get lost.

Sara: *laughs a little and follows*

Jon: So you decided that you actually want to protect something?

Josh: I want to find out what all of this is about.

Sara: All about what?

Josh: This whole destiny thing. It’s got me all confused.

Sara: So Jon where are you from?

Jon: I grew up in the sand kingdom until I was about your age Then I left and lived in the fire kingdom.

Josh: Didn’t you say you were from the ice kingdom?

Jon: I never said I was from there. I asked you if you had been there recently.

Josh: Oh, I thought you had said you were from there.

Sara: are we getting close to them yet?

Jon: We should be but I’m not seeing any signs of them coming through here. Just over this hill you should be able to see the royal city of Icelia.

Sara: Icelia? I’ve heard stories from my grandfather. He used to tell me it was one of the most beautiful cities you could ever go to. That everything just sparkles. And even though it’s all ice, it’s surprisingly warm.

Josh: He’s right.

Sara: I never knew you had even been there.

Josh: Yeah, that was long before I had ever come to the forest village.

Sara: oh yeah, I forgot you haven’t lived there your whole life.

Josh: I’ve only been living in the forest village for about four years now. I used to live in a village just outside of the water village. So I used to go to Icelia a lot. That was until my father died and my mother wanted to move.

Sara: oh, I never knew that.

Josh: Don’t feel bad, I’m over it. But Icelia is one of the most beautiful cities ever.

Chase: Took you guys long enough to catch up

Jon: How did you make it where we couldn’t see your tracks.

Chase: I’m not as stupid as I may look. I’m not going to tell you how we did it, because I’m not sure if I can really trust you or not.

Josh: Whoa, did someone flip a switch? Since when did you become so smart?

Nicole: he’s always been smart.

Josh: well it didn’t seem like it when we first met him.

Sara: don’t judge a book by its cover. You always told me that.

Josh: Yeah, I know what I told you but he never seemed like the smart kind.

Chase: I just know how to make people think I’m stupid. Should we set up camp here or go into Icelia?

Jon: well it’s entirely up to you, since you are the chosen one for the ice kingdome.

Chase: then I say we go into Icelia.

*Everyone walks into Icelia.*

Nicole: Oh wow! It’s beautiful!

Store owner: Yeah it may be beautiful right now, but everything is melting and nothing is what it should be and are you by any chance Chase?

Chase: *Taken aback* Why?

Store owner: There is a prophecy that says someone by the name of Chase will show up and save our kingdom.

Chase: Yeah my name is Chase.
