  SCENE 16
  
  At Rushton's room, there's a 'mental' knock. Rushton sits up, then closes his eyes (yes, Rushton isn't a farseeker, but Elspeth CAN contact him and talk to him so there!).
  
  Rushton: (mind-voice) Hello?
  
  Elspeth: Rushton?
  
  Rushton: Hey. (puts his finger in his ear and shakes) Where are you? We don't start for an hour or so but I thought-
  
  At the party, Elspeth is sitting in a corner by herself, concentrating. Lila comes up and places an arm around her shoulder. Lila has a plastic cup and seems a little intoxicated.
  
  Lila: Yo. What did I tell you, chic? How much better is this than the main house?
  
  Lila stumbles away.
  
  Elspeth: I got dragged to a party, but uhm, I'm leaving. I'm on my way. I just... got to get Selmar away from, uh... this - this dancer.
  
  Rushton: (curtly) Dancer?
  
  Elspeth: It's - It's a long story. But, uh, be there soon. (apologetically) Save me some dinner?
  
  Rushton: (a little p!ssed off) Sure. See ya. (opens his eyes quickly)
  
  He looks disappointed and upset.
  
  At the party, Elspeth walks up to where Selmar is talking to two guys.
  
  Elspeth: (grabs Selmar's arm) Selmar. We got to go.
  
  Selmar: Whoa. Uh. Whoa. Uh. (turns back to the guys) One second. (pulls Elspeth to the side) Hang on a second. All right, listen, I am really connecting with this guy, okay? Check it out. He just moved here with his brother from Saithwold and they're saving for a permanent room, right? Nice. That hits here. (she thumps her chest with her fist) Now, he does have a serious girlfriend. But you know what - he's looking to -
  
  Elspeth quells her with a glare.
  
  Selmar: (turning to the guys) Good luck with the room here.
  The guys are going 'what?'
  
  Selmar follows Elspeth out of the party. A bunch of people walk into the party.
  
  Guy: (walking into the party) Some dude just demo'd a carriage. That car is messed up!
  
  Elspeth and Selmar exchange looks, then look at the group walking away.
  
  SCENE 17
  
  At the main house. Selmar and Madame Vega are standing outside in the driveway, looking at the carriage. There's white paint all over the carriage - basically, it just looks trashed. Elspeth is sitting on the steps, watching them.
  
  Madame Vega: (disbelievingly) So, this all happened in the parking lot of the Darthnor auditorium?
  
  Selmar: (with a dramatic 'I know' sigh) Gypsies bring out a rough crowd.
  
  Madame Vega looks at Selmar, and Selmar just shrugs guiltily.
  
  Madame Vega: I'll call the insurance company, but you're explaining this to Alexi. Tonight. (walks towards the house) Could get ugly.
  
  Selmar rolls her neck.
  
  Selmar: (softly) Yeah. (turning to Elspeth) So, did you talk to Rushton?
  
  Elspeth: Tried him again this morning. He doesn't want to talk -
  
  Selmar: Man, I'm sorry I salted your game.
  
  Elspeth: Yeah. (sadly) I got to get to work. (picks up her backpack, calls a horse and rides off)
  
  SCENE 18
  
  At the pub in Darthnor again. The misfits are in a dining room.
  
  Alad: So, we'll talk to some of these druid armsmen when we get back, I'm sure Gilbert would be able to hook us up with the right people for this.
  
  Cameo: (lack lustre) Thanks. That'd be great.
  
  Rushton: (sitting down) Are you really considering suing Louis?
  
  Cameo: Why? You gonna tell him?
  
  Alad: We just need to protect ourselves.
  
  Rushton: I can't believe you're encouraging this, Alad. When you got tried for being a misfit, just like all of you did, didn't Louis take you under his wing first?
  
  Gevan: Rush, that was very uncalled for.
  
  Rushton: No, what is uncalled for is your five hundred coin a day chocca habit.
  
  Gevan: Bah.
  
  Miryum: What Louis did - was wrong.
  
  Rushton: Oh, spare me. We have misfits working all over the farm for free. (Pause) I have spent far too much time in this pub listening to you guys judge Louis. Yes, he made a mistake, a big one. But life is complicated and none of us is perfect, not even you, Cameo.
  
  Cameo: (scandalized) And what is that supposed to mean?
  
  Rushton: He didn't buy ponies and jewellery for himself.
  
  Cameo: How interesting that you should take his side.
  
  Miryum: Uh, time for dessert. Carriage leaves at six.
  
  Rushton: He did all this for you because he wanted to give you - and us - everything. And now, you're all just going to leave him.
  
  Cameo: He lied to us, Rushton.
  
  Rushton: (loudly) You lied to yourself! I know Louis.
  
  Cameo: I know. I've heard. He still has your mamma's painting up in the barn.
  
  Rushton: (quieting down) It's all in the past.
  
  Cameo: (getting angrier) Really? You think it's a coincidence that we ended up living in the same place? (Rushton looks stricken) We all got tried as MISFITS, and you just showed up here, no trial, nothing! And I heard you guys all chattering before we came up here!! Who are you really, Rushton!?
  
  Cameo gets up and leaves.
  
  SCENE 19
  
  At the main house. Rushton is in his room, taking down a picture of his mother from his bedside table. He's looking at it nostalgically. As he turns, Selmar walks into the room, knocking lightly on the door.
  
  Rushton: Uh. Hey.
  
  Selmar: Hey. Uh, Matthew told me where you were.
  
  He nods.
  
  Selmar: He seems like he's doing better.
  
  Rushton: (shrugging uncomfortably) Yeah, I guess. So, how did it go with the dancer?
  
  Selmar: Uhm. Actually, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. (Walks up to him) Last night - was totally my fault. Okay? Elspeth was extremely bummed that she didn't get to make her blockbuster night. And I know that you're going through a lot right now and the last thing you needed was to get stood up, so... I apologize.
  
  Rushton: Well, that's very... thoughtful. (uncrosses him arms)
  
  Selmar: Yeah, well. She's pretty mad at me right now. So, why don't you help a sister out? How about another date? (Rushton looks uncertain) Hmm? She's a good cook.
  
  But then Rushton smiles shyly.
  
  SCENE 20
  
  At one of the fields. Louis takes a swing with his walking cane at a tree.
  
  Madame Vega: Well, THAT did a lot. (takes the walking stick off Louis) So, I talked to my friend the securities attorney this morning.
  
  Louis: Workin' on th' weekend.
  
  Madame Vega: Working for you to keep you out of jail. And he's pretty sure he's going to be able to make that happen.
  Louis: Excellent.
  
  Madame Vega: It's contingent on you making full restitution. You're going to lose your farm management license and you'll never be allowed near another farm. But... little or no jail time. And you can stay here, on unofficial terms.
  
  Louis: So, I got to pay back everythin' I lost.
  
  Madame Vega: (stands up straight) And even then, there are no guarantees. (Louis looks restless) But it's your only option.
  
  Louis: (pacing) Yeah, well, that's - that's - that's not an option. Where in th' hell am I goin' to find four million coin?
  
  Madame Vega: Well, your house down in Guanette is valued at three point two, you got two six in equity. That's a good start.
  
  Louis: Ye want me to sell my house? That's all I got left!
  
  Madame Vega: This is it. This is a gift. Be grateful.
  
  Louis: Grateful?
  
  Madame Vega: What - Did you think it was just going to go away? That there were going to be no consequences? You got to get real.
  
  Louis: Hey! Who are YE to tell ME to get real? Ye - Ye live in a fantasyland. Ye're married to the richest heir in the community. Ye live in a house ye've never paid for! (gets up in Madame Vega's face) Ye get fired? Alexi wouldna even notice it! Ye have no idea what it's like to provide for a people! (turns away angrily)
  
  Madame Vega: I think there's more to providing for a family than money. You want to be there when they all grow up? You can start over. You can start a new life.
  
  Louis: I dinney want a new life. I want - I want me old one back. (scoffs) But I guess that's not going to happen, huh?
  
  SCENE 21
  
  At the kitchens. Elspeth is carrying two plates of food out of the kitchen.
  
  Elspeth: Hey. What's up?
  
  Selmar: Selmar. Your friendly neighbourhood pimp, at your service. I had a little conversation with Rushton, it's totally handled. (hangs back while Elspeth puts down the plates of food)
  
  Elspeth: (to the girls) I'll be right back with your drinks. (walking back past Selmar) What are you talking about?
  
  Selmar: (following Elspeth) Well, it turns out that I'm quite skilled at getting a date, provided it's not for me. You're going to have the small kitchen to yourself, he's going to coming over shortly and you will be cooking.
  
  Elspeth walks to the kitchen.
  
  Lila: (walks up to a safe, with more coin. To Selmar) What up, chic?
  
  Selmar: Hey.
  
  Lila: What's the, uh... agenda for tonight? Any plans?
  
  Selmar: Not really. No.
  
  Lila: You know about anything going on?
  
  Selmar: There's a lame farm party, typical Obernewtyn scene.
  
  Lila: You know what, chic. We should go.
  
  Selmar: No. It's not for me. It's going to be a bunch of water polo guys and their girlfriends.
  
  Lila: Yeah. I don't get the whole water polo thing down here.
  
  Selmar: Nor do I. Just a bunch of dudes who enjoy wearing Speedos.
  
  Lila: I mean, what do these kids know about partying anyway, right?
  
  Selmar: I couldn't agree more.
  
  Lila: But the guys are hot. (Selmar nods) So, with the right attitude and a couple of c0cktails, could be fun. If it's not, we'll make it fun. You know, life is what you make it.
  
  Selmar: (pauses) That's very wise, Lila.
  
  Lila: Tell you what, chic. This is what we're going to do. We're going to go over there, I'm going to call a couple of my chics, we're going to drink their beer, we're going to dance with their fellas, and we're going to have ourselves a good time.
  
  They do that fist bumping thing again.
  
  Selmar: All right.
  
  Lila: All right?
  
  Selmar: All right.
  
  Lila leaves for the kitchen.
  
  Elspeth comes up behind Selmar and glares at her.
  
  Selmar: (turning and scoffing lightly) Enough with the whole broody scowl thing, you're reminding me of Rushton. Please. It's not a big deal.
  
  Elspeth: You're going to take her to a farm party?
  
  Selmar: Yeah, exactly. Now it'll be on my turf. (pauses) Actually, I don't really have any turf, but if I had turf - this would be it. And not only that, Dameon's going to be there.
  
  Elspeth: (looking worried) I don't know about this, Selmar -
  
  Selmar: I do, okay? It's fine. It is not a big deal. I promise. Now... you got a date, okay? So, you have to go. (Elspeth still looks worried) Make me proud. (Elspeth gives up and walks away) Put a sock on the door!
  
  SCENE 22
  
  At the main house. Rushton is standing in front of a mirror in his room.
  
  Cut to the small kitchen house. Elspeth is working at the stove as Rushton walks in. He's carrying a wooden vat filled with some yellow stuff.
  
  Rushton: Hey! I brought you some leftovers.
  
  Elspeth: (looking over her shoulder) Should go well with grilled cheese. (Rushton walks up and looks over her shoulder at the food, then smiles happily) My specialty.
  
  Rushton: Ooooh. Very fancy.
  
  Elspeth: Hey... don't knock it till you try it. (puts two sandwiches on a plate) Dinner is served.
  
  SCENE 23
  
  At the farm. The outdoor party is in full swing. Lila walks up with Selmar and two of Lila's friends. There are lots of good looking people dancing and mingling. Dameon is there.
  
  Selmar: Kind of lame right.
  
  Lila: I'm seeing, uh... (leering at some guys walking by) lots of potential here actually. (thumps Selmar's chest with her fist)
  
  Selmar looks very proud of herself.
  
  Outside, Ariel walking in the sands, pouring his beer dejectedly onto the ground.
  
  Gevan: (walking out to where Ariel is) Hey. Where's Rushton?
  
  Ariel: Who knows where a farm overseer goes? Certainly not to the farms.
  
  Gevan: (blinks) Ariel? Are you okay?
  
  At the main house. Elspeth and Rushton are sitting on the side of the fountain (on the ledge).
  
  Rushton: Mmm. That was the best grilled cheese ever. (wipes his hands on a napkin)
  
  Elspeth: Yeah. Well, your mac and cheese was pretty good too.
  
  Rushton: (laughing) Yeah. Well, it tasted better last night.
  
  Elspeth pretends to be hurt. They both laugh. Elspeth kicks a lily pad in the water and splashes Rushton slightly.
  
  Elspeth: Yeah!
  
  Rushton: Hey!
  
  Elspeth splashes his leg. They both laugh.
  
  Elspeth: But then, hey, we're hanging out, right?
  
  Rushton: Yeah. I'm glad. We are.
  
  Elspeth: So, how are you? With everything.
  
  Rushton: I'm okay, I guess. I mean, I still don't know what's going to happen. Louis has been real scarce. We're not perfect here - not even close - but... I just... don't want us to fall apart.
  
  They both fall silent.
  
  Elspeth then gets up.
  
  Elspeth: Let's do something fun. You still have fun, right?
  
  Rushton: I don't know.
  
  Elspeth: (leaning up behind him and whispering) What if you don't have a choice?
  
  Rushton: (laughing) What does that mean?
  
  She grabs him as if she's going to dump him in the water.
  
  Rushton: (laughing) No, no! Stop! (she lets him go, he's still laughing) Okay.
  
  She picks up their plates and sets them a little ways off. He comes up behind her, still laughing, and tries to push her.
  
  Elspeth: I'm taking you with me.
  
  They both land in the water. She squeals. They're both laughing, playing in the water. Dunking and splashing each other. They have a 'moment' in the water.
  
  At the farm party. Selmar picks up a bottle of beer and opens it. Just as she's taking a sip, Lila is scouting the party and walks by Dameon, with interest.
  
  Lila: (to Dameon) What's up, bro? You don't like to dance. (gets up in Dameon's space)
  
  Dameon: (backing away slightly) Not with you.
  
  He tries to walk away, but Lila cuts him off.
  
  Dameon: (unimpressed) I'm trying to get to the bar?
  
  He walks around her, but she follows him closely.
  
  Lila: You look fine, you know that?
  
  Dameon: Good one! But aren't you... like... (to some other people) the kitchenhand? (the other people laugh) Eww. Random.
  
  Lila: (to one of the guys laughing) What's up? Somebody got a problem?
  
  Selmar: (comes up to Lila) Hey. Hey. What's going on?
  
  Lila: (looking p!ssed off) Yo, these kids are mad dogging me.
  
  Selmar: You know, why don't we go? I'm ready.
  
  Lila: No, I'm ready. (shows her a dagger tucked into the waist of her jeans) Yeah, what - that's what I'm saying. (pats Selmar on the chest) Life is what you make it.
  
  Lila grabs a beer and saunters away. Selmar looks scared/worried.
  
  At the main house. Rushton is dripping just inside Elspeth's room.
  
  Rushton: (laughing) Hurry up! I'm freezing.
  
  Elspeth is wet too. She grabs two towels and walks over to him.
  
  Elspeth: You've got goose bumps.
  
  Rushton: I know! Towel.
  
  Elspeth wraps one of the towels around him. He's rubbing his arms, trying to warm himself up.
  
  Elspeth: Want a sweatshirt?
  
  They are standing very close.
  
  Rushton: Now can I borrow one of your tank tops so I can look as cool as you?
  
  Elspeth: Oh yeah? (grabs the towel around him and pulls him close so that their foreheads are touching) You want to go back in the pool?
  
  He laughs. Then they both turn serious as they have another moment. Just when you think they're about to kiss, Elspeth gets a mental 'knock-knock' and looks away.
  
  Rushton: Do you have to?
  
  Elspeth: Uh. (looks torn for a moment) One second.
  
  Elspeth closes her eyes and looks like she's concentrating.
  Elspeth: (sighs) Hello?
  
  Selmar is at the party sitting up a tree.
  
  Selmar: Hey, it's Selmar. Your friend Lila's kind of a psycho.
  
  Elspeth: Uh. Okay. Not really a good time right now.
  
  Selmar: Yeah, dude, trust me, I wouldn't be calling up if it wasn't serious. (Lila and her friends are fooling around in the kitchen) Just take Alexi's carriage and meet me at the farms.
  
  Elspeth: (considers this for a moment while opening her eyes slightly, looking at Rushton) I'll be right there. (opens her eyes and turns back to Rushton) Okay. So, that was Selmar. Uh, I got to go pick her up. She's at the farm if you want -
  
  Rushton: (shaking his head) I can't go there.
  
  Elspeth: Right. Okay. So, uh... (walking back to him) Sorry, I...
  
  Rushton: (shaking his head) No. It's okay.
  
  He gives her back the towel, then leaves.
  
  At the farm.
  
  Lila: (to her friend) Chill. Chill! Seriously, relax. (to Selmar) What's up, chic? (slaps Selmar's hand) You want a drink?
  
  Selmar: No, no, no, no. (watches as Lila attempts to make a drink)
  
  Lila: You sure. It's - It's vodka. It's very good. I'll do this fli -
  She tries to flip the bottle but it lands right in front of Selmar's feet instead.
  
  Gevan walks over to the table and Miryum is standing by it, looking concerned. They exchange glances. Just then, Lila's arm connects with a pile of glasses and falls to the earth, breaking.
  
  Gevan: What's going on?!
  
  Ariel saunters over.
  
  Lila: Yo! Check it out! It's the Albino misfit! Or - or did you just fall in bleach?
  
  Ariel: What's your problem?
  
  Lila: You.
  
  They walk up threateningly to each other. Selmar steps in and stops Ariel.
  
  Selmar: Uh, er, Ariel. You really don't want to -
  
  Ariel: (pushing Selmar away angrily) Shut up, Selmar! How did you get in here anyway? (standing directly in front of Lila) Look, I don't know who you are, but you best be leaving.
  
  Lila: Or what? What you going to do to me? (lunges forward threateningly) What? You afraid I'm going to mess up your hair?
  
  Elspeth: (rushing in) Lila! What's up?
  
  Lila: Hey, what's up, Elspeth? (They clasp hands in greeting)
  
  Ariel: Should have figured this chump was a friend of yours. Why don't you just take her back to the kitchen sink?
  
  Selmar: (grabbing Elspeth) We should go.
  
  Lila: What did you say to me? (gets up in Ariel's face)
  
  Ariel: All right. (shoves Lila hard) Let's go!
  
  Elspeth: (steps in to stop Ariel) Hey, hey!
  
  Lila: You're done! (whips out her dagger, people scream and flee the farm) What's up now? Who's the tough guy now? How much do you hate this kid, Elspeth? The way he talks to you like you're trash. What about you, Selmar?
  
  Selmar: (putting an arm out to 'protect' Dameon) Yeah, he's definitely flawed.
  
  Ariel: I'm - I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
  
  Lila: Oh. Look at the role reversal now. Huh. Who's the b!tch, huh?
  
  Elspeth: You scared him. Put it down, all right?
  
  Lila: (to Elspeth) Chic, I'm just trying to have a good time. You know what I'm saying? Trying to have fun at this party. (to her friends) Yo, you chics having fun?
  
  Elspeth lunges for the dagger. They're struggling. The dagger flies through the air.
  
  Lila: What's the matter with you, chic? I was just messing around.
  
  Dameon screams. Ariel is on the ground, his arm is bleeding.
  
  Dameon: Oh my Lud!
  
  One of Lila's friends: Yo, yo, we got to go. Let's go.
  
  Lila and her friends leave.
  
  Dameon: (rushes over to Ariel) Oh my Lud. (to everyone else) Call a healer!
  
  Elspeth: (crouches down and tries to help stop the blood flow; whispers) You're going to be okay.
  
  Dameon: Somebody!
  
  In the background, a couple of people run towards the maze intent on finding healers.
  
  SCENE 24
  
  At the main house. Madame Vega is in the small kitchen, washing something.
  
  Alexi: (walking in) Hey!
  
  Madame Vega: Hey!
  
  Alexi: Hi. How did it go?
  
  They kiss.
  
  Madame Vega: Uh. Not well.
  
  They hug for a long time.
  
  Madame Vega: How about you?
  
  Alexi: Mm. Same. (pulling away) Vega, what happened to your carriage?
  
  Madame Vega: Selmar'll explain everything.
  
  Alexi: Where is she?
  
  Madame Vega: I don't know. She's out, I guess.
  
  Alexi walks to the fridge and opens it.
  
  Alexi: (very surprised) You bought beer? I miss beer.
  
  Madame Vega smiles and opens it for him. He takes a chug.
  
  Alexi: (offering the beer to Madame Vega) Want some?
  
  Madame Vega: (takes the beer) I want more than that.
  
  Alexi: Really?
  
  Madame Vega: Uh hmm. You know, boys might be out for a while.
  
  They get very close. Alexi hmms in acknowledgement, then puts his arms around her neck and they kiss.
  
  At the hospital. Selmar and Elspeth are sitting on some chairs.
  
  Selmar: The soldierguard said Lila isn't going to get far before they caught her.
  
  Elspeth: Well, if you want to make some extra money, I'm sure there's an extra job available at the restaurant.
  
  Selmar: No. No, that's okay. I think it'd - it'd be good to take some 'me' time. Work on the novel. Tonight'd make a good chapter. (pauses, then looks over at Elspeth) Were you scared?
  
  Elspeth: (blinks) Yeah.
  
  Rushton walks up. Elspeth stands.
  
  Elspeth: Hi.
  
  Rushton: Hey.
  
  Elspeth: It's okay. He's in the healer wing at the end. It's - It's just his arm.
  
  Rushton: So, this psycho with the knife. Was she a friend of yours?
  
  Elspeth: Uh. No. Not really.
  
  Rushton: Well, thanks... for letting me know. I'll note it in the annual report.
  
  Elspeth: Uh, yeah. Yeah.
  
  Rushton: I should go.
  
  Elspeth: I could, uh, wait.
  
  Rushton: (pauses) No, it's okay.
  
  He walks off, not even bothering to visit Ariel. Rushton stares back at Elspeth a moment before he walks out the door.
  
  Elspeth: (walking back to Selmar) Never thought the date would end here.
  
  Selmar: I'm sorry, Elf. You were right. (Elspeth sits down next to Selmar again) I shouldn't have brought Lila to that party.
  
  Elspeth: It's my fault. If it wasn't for me, you never would have met her. Ariel wouldn't be in the hospital. I feel like ever since I got here, everybody's lives' just gotten worse.
  
  Selmar: Not everyone.
  
  Elspeth: All I was thinking about in that ambulance was - I'm so gone. Back to Kinraide or worse.
  
  Selmar: Well, you're not going anywhere, so don't worry about it. (pauses) I do think that from now on, though, we got to stick together because united, we're unstoppable, but divided it's -
  
  Elspeth: People get stabbed.
  
  Selmar: That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.
  
  They both sigh. Fade to black.

  I'm on a roll!! Next one's ready! Make sure you've read Ep 5 before you read this one :)
  
  ##################
  
  Opens at the front of the main house, Alexi, Madame Vega, Selmar & Elspeth are unpacking the carriage of food supplies.
  
  Alexi: (to Madame Vega) are we worried your boss wont love us if we don't feed him enough?
  
  Madame Vega: alright starting now, no more digs at the Druid.
  
  Alexi: oh honey, that wasn't a dig. Selmar?
  
  Selmar: no...but when you called him a heartless [censored], that was a dig.
  
  Alexi: (to Selmar) you sold me out!
  
  Selmar: (to Elspeth) see they're like puppets and I'm puppet master.
  
  Elspeth: world domination to follow.
  
  Madame Vega & Alexi now in the house.
  
  Madame Vega: (to Alexi) maybe you guys can make peace this weekend.
  
  Alexi: ok....oh-oh-oh no...wait we can't.
  
  Madame Vega: why?
  
  Alexi: I'm still adopted! (Madame Vega silently pretend laughs) just gettin it outta my system, I promise.
  
  Madame Vega: wonder what his new girlfriend's like.
  
  Alexi: I am sure she is very well paid (Madame Vega gives him a look) I am on fire! look at you your wired, seein your boss should make you feel guilt not terror.
  
  Henry Druid: don't forget I'm also her father.
  
  Madame Vega: (shuts the fridge door and Henry Druid is standing there) Dad!
  
  Henry Druid: speak of the devil and the devil he doth appear (kisses Madame Vega) greetings, Alexi.
  
  Madame Vega: how long have you been here?
  
  Henry Druid: Not long! The carriage got here quicker then I expected, I used my key to get in.
  
  Alexi: so Henry, where's your new girlfriend?
  
  Henry Druid: She's finding a room. Where's our superstar Selmar?
  
  Cut to Elspeth & Selmar still unpacking the car.
  
  Elspeth: (to Selmar) so this Druid he-he basically owns the Highlands, right?
  
  Selmar: yes an... much like yourself he comes from humble beginnings, Herder Faction you know, you guys'll probably hit it off.
  
  Elspeth: Um, they burnt my parents?
  
  Selmar: Yeah but he'll say it was an accident. He's not part of the Faction any more (Elspeth looks worried). Hey, seriously, do not worry about it ok? Look he lets Vega run Obernewtyn. Now he's got a brand new girlfriend, he's very mellow.
  
  Henry Druid: (walking out the front door) Selmar!
  
  Selmar: Hey!
  
  Henry Druid: Hey! (hugs Selmar)
  
  Selmar: How you doin'?
  
  Henry Druid: (looking at Selmar's build) you're still not a ballet dancer?
  
  Selmar: Ah yes, no but thankyou. Uh... - meet my friend Elspeth.
  
  Henry Druid: (slightly cold) You're the kid that burnt down the house.
  
  Elspeth: And you burnt my parents. That makes us even.
  
  (Elspeth holds her hand out to shake it, Henry Druid doesn't reciprocate)
  
  Selmar: Come on (nudges Henry Druid).
  
  (Henry Druid shakes Elspeth's hand)
  
  Henry Druid: (to Selmar) So you've got to see my pictures from Sador, and you've got to promise me to go to Earthtemple while your still young.
  
  Selmar: All right.
  
  Henry Druid: (to Elspeth) You want to take those and put them in the kitchen?
  
  Selmar: (to Elspeth) hey (mouths something like it's fine, or don't worry).
  
  (Henry Druid & Selmar go inside, Elspeth picks up the bag and carries it round to the kitchen then goes to go into her room - she stops when she sees a gorgeous blonde walking around aimlessly, kind of lost. She stands there and wrings her hair)
  
  Freya: Hi.
  
  Elspeth: (smiles) Hey.
  
  Freya: I'm Freya...I'm with Henry Druid.
  
  (Selmar comes and stands with Elspeth)
  
  Selmar: Oh my god, you're with the Druid? You're our age! (Elspeth just stares without saying anything)
  
  Opening credits.
  
  SCENE 1
  
  Selmar & Elspeth are sitting on the edge of the fountain out the front, Freya is picking flowers by the front gate.
  
  Selmar: (to Elspeth) Is it twisted or what they they're together?
  
  Elspeth: What do you think?!
  
  Henry Druid: Freya
  
  Freya: Yeah?
  
  Henry Druid: We're going to sit, drink some wine, catch up.
  
  Freya: Ok, do you want me to uh-
  
  Henry Druid: Lie out in the sun, get some colour. Try to stay out of trouble (leaves).
  
  Freya: (moving over to the fountain) Can I join you guys?
  
  (Selmar & Elspeth look at each other warily)
  
  Elspeth: Yeah, yeah come on.
  
  (Freya sits on the side of the fountain with the other)
  
  Freya: Whoo, water's warm (Selmar & Elspeth make room for her between them) Ahhhh. So what's up?
  
  Elspeth: We were um...we were talking about the uh...
  
  Selmar: You were telling -she was telling me about-she was telling me about the thing.
  
  Freya: So this birthday party for Henry Druid, it's like a who's who of Obernewtyn (Selmar nods)? Should be wild, huh?
  
  (Selmar & Elspeth look at each other)
  
  Freya: I'm being sarcastic.
  
  Selmar: Ahh.
  
  Freya: Mhmm.
  
  Selmar: Yes, we don't get a lot of that around here.
  
  Freya: So, who are you girls bringing?
  
  Selmar: I would say...no one really?
  
  Elspeth: Yeah, same
  
  Freya: You're kidding right....there are no guys you wanna bring? Two young bright things like yourselves?
  
  Selmar: (confused) Are you still being sarcastic?
  
  Freya: (smiles) No.
  
  Selmar: His name is Dameon.
  
  Freya: And, did you invite him yet?
  
  Selmar: I-its not that simple I mean.
  
  Freya: He can't say yes if you don't ask him.
  
  Selmar: That is very wise Freya...
  
  Freya: (to Elspeth) What about you?
  
  Selmar: (to Elspeth) Did you ask Rushton?
  
  Elspeth: I haven't talked to him in a while, I don't think he's going to want to go.
  
  Freya: And why not?
  
  Elspeth: Uh...there's some things kind of falling apart, ah he's got a lot of things on his plate. It's a long story.
  
  SCENE 2
  
  Rushton in his room, Ariel knocks on the door.
  
  Ariel: (knock) Rushton (Rushton sees him). You decent?
  
  Rushton: What are you doing here?
  
  Ariel: (glares) I just came from the healers, got my stitches out. There are a few things we need to sort out.
  
  Rushton: Go back to your room, Ariel. I make the meetings here.
  
  Ariel: What did you say?
  
  Rushton: Ariel! You got stabbed. No one's going to care if you're not skulking around for a few days.
  
  Ariel storms out and Rushton broods out the window.
  
  SCENE 3
  
  The courtyard, by the maze. Selmar, Elspeth & Freya are now out of the fountain. Pans to Alexi, Madame Vega & Henry Druid watching them through a window.
  
  Madame Vega: Freya, she seems...
  
  Henry Druid: She's 20.
  
  Madame Vega: I'm sorry.
  
  Alexi: Oh...she seems so...mature for her age (Madame Vega looks at him and half smiles).
  
  Henry Druid: These birthday festivities, we're keeping them small, right?
  
  Madame Vega: It depends what you mean by small.
  
  Henry Druid: Well, just the family the four of us, Freya.
  
  Madame Vega: Right, the four of us...Freya, Elspeth and a hundred and fifty of your closest friends.
  
  Alexi: Henry, she's ben workin over time on this thing, the menus, the invitations, on top of the mountain of work she's been buried under.
  
  Henry Druid: Is it to much?
  
  Madame Vega: No, work is great, we're back on track with the new developments.
  
  Henry Druid: Yeah, after your new prodigy out there nearly burned it to the ground.
  
  Madame Vega: We've had a few set-backs but the accident insurance more than covered the damages.
  
  Henry Druid: And then I hear that you've commissioned an architect that I've never approved to do the redesign of the guardhouse?
  
  Madame Vega: I commissioned a design but I would never build without consulting you.
  
  Henry Druid: Honey, you don't need my approval...after all you adopted the girl without consulting me.
  
  (Madame Vega & Alexi both look at each other, shocked)
  
  Madame Vega: I would've uh called you about Elspeth but there wasn't enough time.
  
  Henry Druid: I get it, I'm pushing you to hard, things are slipping through the cracks...which is why I've decided to scale back your responsibilities.
  
  Madame Vega: You're demoting me?
  
  Henry Druid: I want to get more involved, give you a chance to spend a bit more time with your new family, your new prodigy (Madame Vega is speechless). Now then, tell me all about Louis Larkin, son of a b!tch lost four million coin (laughs).
  
  SCENE 4
  
  Rushton's door, Elspeth is there.
  
  Rushton: Hey!
  
  Elspeth: I was on my way to work...um y'know we hadn't talked in a while...
  
  Rushton: I was going to come see you.
  
  Elspeth: Nah it's cool...so Henry Druid's in town and they're having this uh...
  
  Ariel: Hello, Elspeth.
  
  Elspeth: Um, hi.
  
  Ariel: Something to ask the farm overseer?
  
  Elspeth: No, no problem.
  
  Ariel: I see.
  
  Rushton: Ah Ariel, sod off! She's not doing anything wrong.
  
  Ariel glares and leaves again.
  
  Rushton: So...what's going on?
  
  Elspeth: Uh...I was going to see if you wanted...to-I was going to see how you were doing, you seem to be doing good. So...I'm going to get to work, later (leaves).
  
  (Rushton watches her go, he looks disappointed)
  
  SCENE 5
  
  Elspeth at the kitchens bussing tables. Freya comes in.
  
  Freya: Hi!
  
  Elspeth: Hey.
  
  Freya: Selmar and Henry are reading...I've never seen two people more excited about books. Selmar said you work here and I could use a c0cktail.
  
  Elspeth: Uh...I can't serve you.
  
  Freya: Right, you're not legal (laughs). Ah, how about a cloudberry juice?
  
  Elspeth: That I can do (smiles).
  
  Freya: All right (pulls out a mini bottle of alcohol from her bag)! From the ride up here, I hate carriages, don't you?
  
  Elspeth: Uh...I've never been all that far-
  
  Freya: My first time I was fifteen, my father sent me to Guanette all by myself to do some horse buying and selling (Elspeth looks at her). I guess he figured it was easier then him having to do the work.
  
  Elspeth: I can relate.
  
  Freya: I've heard.
  
  Elspeth: So uh, how'd the horse buying and selling thing turn out?
  
  Freya: Well when you're a teenager and you're living in a house with a bunch of horses that you talk to...things can get a little insane (Elspeth nods, listening). By the time the council caught up with me I was 22...Councilfarm age (off Elspeth looks). But Henry got to me before they did. You must think it's weird, me with an older guy...
  
  Elspeth shrugs.
  
  Freya: Mm (smiles) uh-hm. So how'd it work out with your boy?
  
  Elspeth: Who?
  
  Freya: Rushton?
  
  Elspeth: (shakes head) I don't think so...
  
  (in the background someone wants a refill, Elspeth goes and serves her leaving Freya at the counter, smiling)
  
  SCENE 6
  
  Madame Vega & Alexi in the small kitchen. Madame Vega pours herself a coffee then throws the kettle down in the sink. She is clearly upset.
  
  Alexi: Oh Vega...come on honey (holds her from behind). You could not have done more or done better.
  
  Madame Vega: I just don't understand I've-I've worked so hard for him, I've killed myself for him.
  
  Alexi: Well the man is a bottomless pit of need. You think you can fill it? You can't. Oooh (Madame Vega turns to face him), you're amazing...if he can't appreciate you screw him...quit (whispers)! Quit.
  
  Madame Vega: You've never supported me working for him, you've never liked him.
  
  Alexi: You're right I haven't, not since our bonding day when I watched you walk yourself down the aisle.
  
  Madame Vega: He was in Norseland, there was a monsoon.
  
  Alexi: Oh Vega, we changed the date three times for his schedule. He makes the world revolve around him including you!
  
  Madame Vega: Alexi...he's my dad.
  
  Alexi: And he's ruining your life...quit!
  
  Madame Vega: ...I can't.
  
  SCENE 7
  
  Elspeth & Freya at the kitchens. They are sharing a plate of food, and talking.
  
  Freya: So you're living at Obernewtyn now...so what's next for you?
  
  Elspeth: What's next for you? The cab to the White Valley?
  
  (Rushton walks in and sees Elspeth with Freya)
  
  Freya: (smiling) perhaps.
  
  Elspeth: (sees Rushton) I'll be right back (walks over to Rushton). Hey.
  
  Rushton: Hey, got a minute?
  
  (Elspeth pushes out a seat for Rushton to sit. He sits with th)
  
  Elspeth: What's up?
  
  Rushton: I wanted to talk to you before but-
  
  Elspeth: Ariel was there.
  
  Rushton: Right (they look at each other) um...hello (to Freya). I don't believe we've met?
  
  Elspeth: (disappointed) Rushton, this is Freya.
  
  Rushton: Hello, Freya.
  
  Freya: Hiya! Rushton is it?
  
  Elspeth: ah huh.
  
  Rushton: (he clearly wants Elspeth to give him a sign, but she doesn't) (desperate) So, I don't know if I'll go to the Druid's thing anymore. Ariel's writing reports on me, I'm sure of it.
  
  Elspeth: I don't know if I'll go either (shrugs).
  
  Freya: Why don't we all go together?
  
  Elspeth: um...
  
  Rushton: well...
  
  Freya: Great! (Elspeth looks hurt) Why don't we meet up at the fountain or something beforehand?
  
  Rushton: (stands) Ok (walks away).
  
  SCENE 8
  
  Rushton & Dameon sitting by some trees eating lunch.
  
  Rushton: If she just said something, I mean I just wanted her to say anything...
  
  Dameon: Well, you can't expect her to choose Rush, she comes from a place where they have like knife fights and horse racing and like sex in the forest.
  
  Rushton: That's the guard house, Damo.
  
  Dameon: Well, all I'm saying is you have to figure out what to do with your life. That includes Elspeth (Rushton sighs).
  
  SCENE 9
  
  Elspeth and Selmar riding horses. They stop at the same place Rushton and Dameon are. Rushton and Dameon are now lying back against the trees, talking.
  
  Selmar: Its fate its-its destiny. Look, we both like pies.
  
  Elspeth: You wanna eat in the kitchen?
  
  Selmar: (ignoring what Elspeth said) Who's winning right now me or my hair?
  
  (Elspeth looks at her, looks at her hair, then back over to the guys)
  
  SCENE 10
  
  Rushton & Dameon under the trees.
  
  Dameon: I'm going to get us some more milk.
  
  (Dameon gets up from the tree and just as he turns around Selmar and Elspeth walk up)
  
  Selmar: Hi Dameon...Selmar...remember?
  
  Dameon: Could you give me a hand... (points) over here?
  
  (They both walk off leaving Elspeth and Rushton alone)
  
  Elspeth: Ok (sits down) I-I know you've got to figure some stuff out I get that but... in the mean time we have that party for the Druid...
  
  Rushton: And we're going in a group. That'll be fun, right?
  
  Elspeth: (disappointed) Um, yeah...I'll see you tomorrow night.
  
  Rushton: (nodding) Yeah, see ya (Elspeth leaves).
  
  SCENE 11
  
  Selmar & Dameon at a barrel of milk.
  
  Selmar: So Cameo was like, no way, and I was like, fraid so-
  
  Dameon: Ewww, are there any napkins?
  
  Selmar: (looks then shakes her head) No.
  
  Dameon: (holds his pinky out to her) Lick it.
  
  Selmar: (suprised) What?
  
  Dameon: Just lick my finger!
  
  Selmar: (making a face) You lick it!
  
  Dameon: You want me to make Rushton do it? (still holding his pinky out)
  
  Selmar: (hesitates then quickly licks it) uh-hm.
  
  Dameon: Thanks.
  
  Selmar: It's good.
  
  Dameon: Now, aren't you going to invite me to this Druid's party?
  
  Selmar: (speechless)...I'm sorry Dameon, could you please repeat that?
  
  Dameon: Well, the Druid's having this awesome party...it's-it's at your house and I thought we were friends...
  
  Selmar: Wait a second, do you want me to ask you cause you wanna go with me or just cause...you wanna go (Dameon gives her a look). Fair enough, I'll see you at 8.

  SCENE 12
  
  Madame Vega & Alexi in their bedroom.
  
  Alexi: Hey.
  
  Madame Vega: hey, how was the lab (kisses him)?
  
  Alexi: (excited) I was distracted all day and I couldn't help but think that if you quit d'you know what we could do?
  
  Madame Vega: I'm not quitting.
  
  Alexi: No hear me out, we could find out who's living in our old house in Aborium, we could buy it back, you loved that house and it's right near that ruined library.
  
  Madame Vega: That house had bad plumbing and termites.
  
  Alexi: Oh, it was a fixer-upper that we never got to fix up.
  
  Madame Vega: (laughs) I know.
  
  Alexi: We moved to chase down those diaries, we never planned to stay. If you quit we could do anything we want, we could go anywhere.
  
  Madame Vega: No we can't...
  
  Alexi: Why not? We could explore those ruins properly.
  
  Madame Vega: (smiling) I haven't thought about those ruins in years.
  
  Alexi: So (pulls her to him) think about it (kisses her) (holds her hands). Think about it.
  
  SCENE 13
  
  Rushton & Dameon in Rushton's room
  
  Dameon: (holding a cloak to Rushton, because he can't see it. It's bright purple velvet) Is this too bold to wear to an old guy's birthday party?
  
  Rushton: I can't believe your actually going with Selmar.
  
  Dameon: Aloha, Henry Druid is like the One of the Highlands (Rushton half smiles). He's the one to get to know if you ever want your money back.
  
  Rushton: Isn't that a little mean to Selmar?
  
  Dameon: To who? (Rushton looks at him) kidding!
  
  SCENE 14
  
  main house, everyone is seated around a table. Henry Druid is at one end & Alexi at the other. Madame Vega & Elspeth are on one side & Selmar & Freya are on the other.
  
  Freya: (to Madame Vega) that was delicious, Madame Vega.
  
  Madame Vega: Well thank you, I order from the kitchen all the time (smiles).
  
  Henry Druid: (laughs) Less time at work more time for cooking.
  
  Alexi: Yeah because there is just no place Madame Vega feels more comfortable than in the kitchen.
  
  Selmar: (looks at Alexi) What're you talking about, she can't even make cereal.
  
  Madame Vega: (looks at Selmar) Thanks Selmar!
  
  Selmar: No problem (makes a cutesy face).
  
  Madame Vega clears the table.
  
  Henry Druid: You have a quick wit Selmar, amazing you're not better at that diary work. Or at finding a fella to settle down with.
  
  Selmar: Oh... well if by 'fella' you mean boys in your outdated cowboy speak I have a little news for you. It turns out that somebody has a date to your party (Henry Druid raises his eyebrows, Alexi looks impressed) and its not a big deal or anything but if you must know Dameon asked me.
  
  Alexi: (suprised) Oh Dameon, wow, uh, Dameon's hot (Freya laughs).
  
  Selmar: You did not just say that.
  
  Alexi: (getting up) Say what?
  
  Selmar: (mortified) Just go...please.
  
  Alexi: (suggestively) You go.
  
  Freya: (laughs) What about us Elspeth? Rushton still ok to go?
  
  Elspeth: (raises her eyebrows) I...s'pose so.
  
  (Freya is looking at Elspeth happily, Elspeth is looking at her & Selmar notices them both. Henry Druid is oblivious)
  
  SCENE 15
  
  The small kitchen. Madame Vega is rinsing plates and Alexi walks in.
  
  Alexi: Henry seems to be in good spirits. He just polished off his second bottle of merlot, now would be a very good time to talk to him.
  
  Madame Vega: I don't know if I'm ready to have that conversation.
  
  Henry Druid: (walking in) Have what conversation...got any grappa (holds up his empty glass)?
  
  Madame Vega: Yeah.
  
  Henry Druid: Are you adopting another kid?
  
  Madame Vega: It's nothing.
  
  Alexi: Uh, actually it is something.
  
  Henry Druid: I've never known my daughter to need someone to speak for her.
  
  Alexi: Maybe you've never really gotten to know your daughter (heatedly). If you did you'd know she is the best thing to ever happen to your little backyard endevours, you'd support her, not demote her, to the point where she wants to quit.
  
  Madame Vega: Alexi!
  
  Henry Druid: Is that true? You want to quit?
  
  Madame Vega: No! I-
  
  Alexi: Vega!
  
  Madame Vega: (softly) We were talking!
  
  Alexi: About selling this house and moving back to Aborium like we'd always planned.
  
  Henry Druid: You're not serious... (to Alexi) You're still smoking the greenthorn aren't you?
  
  Madame Vega: Dad!
  
  Selmar: (walking in and over hearing) Alexi...you smoked weed?
  
  Madame Vega: (to Selmar) Out-now! Private conversation.
  
  Selmar: (walking out) Elspeth, guess who's a stoner!
  
  Alexi: Honey, don't be afraid of him.
  
  Henry Druid: (to Alexi) (heatedly) You keep your mouth shut, no one here cares what you think!
  
  Alexi: Don't talk to me like that in my own house!
  
  Henry Druid: Whose house is this? Who's paying the bills?
  
  Madame Vega: Dad!
  
  Henry Druid: This is between you and me, Vega. You're going to get what you want anyway, you always have.
  
  (Elspeth, Selmar & Freya are over hearing everything)
  
  Elspeth: Should we...maybe go (Selmar waves him off, listening)?
  
  Henry Druid: Adopting juvenile delinquents!
  
  Selmar: Maybe...lets just-
  
  Freya: Yeah, lets (they all leave the table).
  
  Madame Vega: You're making a much bigger deal of this! It was nothing.
  
  Henry Druid: Ehh, it didn't sound like nothing...infact...thanks Alexi for letting me know how she feels, she would never tell me that. She never tells me anything (Madame Vega looks frustrated.) If you want to quit that's fine, I'll expect your resignation in the morning (Madame Vega looks upset). Now then, the grappa!
  
  SCENE 16
  
  Elspeth's room - Elspeth is reading, Selmar is reading & Freya is playing with her hair.
  
  Selmar: So Freya, I hear the Druid's taking you on a horse ride tomorrow.
  
  Freya: Yep...he wants to show me his Obernewtyn empire!
  
  Elspeth: (nods) mm.
  
  (Selmar leaves, making Freya & Elspeth in there alone)
  
  Elspeth: So, he always yell like that?
  
  Freya: Pretty much...he's the boss and every relationship is a business relationship to him.
  
  Elspeth: Even yours?
  
  Freya: He'll only ever really love one woman and she passed away years ago...now he's just looking to stay entertained...keep from being bored...but aren't we all.
  
  (Elspeth looks up at her, she runs her hand through her hair)
  
  Freya: (softly) I am so bored.
  
  Henry Druid: (calling) Freya, we're leaving-now.
  
  (Freya sighs, gets up and walks out)
  
  Freya: Back to the office.
  
  (Freya leaves)
  
  SCENE 17
  
  Elspeth & Selmar on the edge of the fountain. Elspeth is facing one way and Selmar the other, they both look a bit pensive.
  
  Selmar: How's Freya?
  
  Elspeth: I dunno.
  
  Selmar: Oh really...ok Elspeth let me present exhibit A to you. She opted to forgo riding with the olds to go visit Rushton on the farms.
  
  Elspeth: Soo, not everyone likes horse riding.
  
  Selmar: Ok, lets take it to exhibit B here...how bored must she be with the Druid? She was mad dogging you two in the kitchens. She got around asking him to the party, for obvious reasons, by being all cutesy, flipping her hair and being all like “ooh, let's go in a group, it'll be ever so much fun!”. Come on. You need to keep an eye on her.
  
  Madame Vega: (coming outside) Come on girls out of the fountain, the caterers are here. It's time to get ready.
  
  Selmar: Ok (to Elspeth). I would sure like some answers from that little minx.
  
  Elspeth: (completely straight faced) Yeah ok. I'll sus it out tonight.
  
  Selmar: (shocked) What?
  
  Elspeth: (taps head) I'll sus it out.
  
  Selmar: (mouth open) But...but, isn't that a bit.... (softer) immoral (Elspeth moves her head to signal yes)? (excited) Oh! This party IS going to be fun.
  
  Elspeth: No one can know about this though. The Druid can not find out.
  
  Selmar: Yeah I agree completely.
  
  Elspeth smiles and gets up.
  
  Selmar: (mouth open, lays back in shock) whoa...all this for simple old Rushton.
  
  Elspeth: Oh...he's not so simple...
  
  SCENE 18
  
  Henry Druid's party
  
  Madame Vega: (to waiter) Ah 73 don, yes that's his favourite, thankyou (to another waiter). Is there cilantro in that ( waiter shakes her head)? Good, he hates it (she re arranges a flower arrangement).
  
  Alexi: (walks over) I can't believe you still went through with this whole thing.
  
  Madame Vega: Well I had no choice, even though you tried to sabotage the entire weekend (door bell, Madame Vega and Alexi both go to answer it).
  
  Alexi: Oh honey, I'm sorry I jumped the gun last night. Ready? (Madame Vega nods and Alexi opens the door).
  
  Freya: Hello!
  
  Madame Vega: Hi, dad you made it (hugs & kisses him).
  
  Henry Druid: You're not disappointed?
  
  Madame Vega: No
  
  Freya: (to Alexi) How're you doing (kisses him on the cheek)? Nice to see you.
  
  Henry Druid: (to Alexi) Alexi (shakes his hand).
  
  Alexi: Hey, happy birthday Henry.
  
  Henry Druid: Thank you.
  
  Alexi: (to Freya) Can I get you a drink?
  
  Freya: (nods) Absolutely (they walk off)
  
  Madame Vega: (shutting the door) Dad, happy birthday!
  
  Henry Druid: Thanks.
  
  Madame Vega: Ah look...about the other night.
  
  Henry Druid: Oh, just forget about it. Just, ah, make sure that you let me know when you plan to give notice so that I can hire your replacement (laughs). Hey, quite a party.
  
  (Henry Druid leaves and Madame Vega is left standing there upset that he doesn't care)
  
  SCENE 19
  
  the courtyard - Rushton has just come out of his room to join the party. Freya walks over to him.
  
  Rushton: (sighs) You look uh... (swallows) wow.
  
  (Freya licks a cherry then goes to put it in Rushton's mouth. Rushton takes it off her and eats it)
  
  Freya: You clean up good.
  
  Rushton: Uh (half smile) are you trying to get caught?
  
  Freya: Find me later (walks off, Rushton doesn't know what to make of it)
  
  SCENE 20
  
  Dameon, Matthew, Cameo & Ariel inside, they have just got there.
  
  Rushton: I wish Louis would come.
  
  Cameo: Why, so you could break up another brawl? (distracted) Oh hi, how are you! (walks off)
  
  Selmar: (walking up behind them) Hey Dameon... ah you-look yeah... uh-uh hey Matthew (she hugs him on the side) Hi Ariel.
  
  Ariel: Selmar (nods his head, then walks off to the bar).
  
  Selmar: Ok, he got stabbed in the arm, not the head.
  
  Dameon: Ugh, come on, don't you want to show me off (takes Selmar's arm)?
  
  (pan to Elspeth coming into the room, she looks over and sees Freya holding Rushton's face and they are both smiling/laughing. Elspeth turns away hurt, she walks out going past where Selmar & Dameon are)
  
  SCENE 21
  
  Alexi outside, he sees Madame Vega sitting down through the window and goes to see her.
  
  Alexi: It's a great party (walks over). Everybody seems to be having a good time (rubs her arm from behind).
  
  Madame Vega: Almost everybody (takes a sip of her wine).
  
  Alexi: Oh look-look I-I...I wish I could tell you I'm sorry but I'm not.
  
  Madame Vega: Ok worst apology ever.
  
  Alexi: (sitting) You know I'm no good at those, look the important thing is it's out there, you spoke your mind.
  
  Madame Vega: (turning round to face him) NO! You spoke my mind.
  
  Alexi: I thought we had an understanding I-I thought this was what we both wanted.
  
  Madame Vega: It is...it was.
  
  Alexi: I knew it, you're backing down, he's been doing this to you for twenty years.
  
  Madame Vega: The Druid isn't the reason we stayed here...we are. We chose this (Alexi looks at her). If you're telling me that all this time you've been unhappy, that this isn't what you want...then this is a much bigger conversation.
  
  SCENE 22
  
  Cameo is talking with a group of ladies, Louis Larkin comes in behind them.
  
  Misfit: (to Cameo) It's Louis!
  
  Cameo: (to women) Excuse me (walks over to Louis). I told you not to come, what the hell are you doing here? You'll just get beat up again!
  
  Louis: Hey hey I-I've got a plan. Jus' take it easy, a chance for everythin' to go back to the way it was.
  
  Cameo: You built a time machine?
  
  Louis: Henry Druid employs thousands of people, none of whom are more experienced or qualified as I am. How big a leap can it be from investin' in farmlands to investin' in real estate?
  
  Cameo: You are not seriously considering asking him for a job!
  
  Louis: Why no'?
  
  Cameo: This whole community thinks you're a criminal Louis! Henry Druid owns the highlands! What makes you think he feels differently?
  
  Louis: Th' guy loves me, he has since I was a kid. He taught me how to ride, when I was shipped up here he set me up with me farm management license.
  
  Cameo: (sincerely) Please...don't even think of talking to him...
  
  Louis: Look I'm sorry, but if there's a chance that I can fix this (shrugs), I'm gonna take it (walks off).
  
  SCENE 23
  
  Dameon & Rushton walking around inside
  
  Dameon: This party rocks.
  
  Rushton: (laughs) Uh, I see.
  
  Dameon: So you chose Freya huh? Elspeth didn't stand a chance.
  
  Rushton: Dameon!
  
  Dameon: Rush! What more do you want? She's beautiful, sweet, totally-crazy about you (Rushton half smiles) what are you waiting for?
  
  Rushton: ...I...dunno
  
  Dameon: well you better figure it out because she is not gonna be able to wait forever, and you have to think about how this might impact on the Druid (leaves).
  
  SCENE 24
  
  Rushton in his room leaning against the window ledge, Freya comes in.
  
  Freya: What're you doing.
  
  Rushton: Nothing.
  
  Freya: Somebody's hiding.
  
  Rushton: Nah, I'm just uh-
  
  Freya: Bored (walks over to him)? Me to.
  
  Rushton: I've heard.
  
  Freya: She's just a girl.
  
  Rushton: (standing up) I know.
  
  Freya: So why are you hiding from her?
  
  Rushton: I'm not.
  
  Freya: (softly) I don't believe you.
  
  (she pushes Rushton back on the bed and gets on top of him, she kisses him and he kisses back)
  
  Rushton: Still bored?
  
  Freya: Not so much (kisses him).
  
  Hear the sound of the door handle being pushed down - they both look towards the door to see a shocked/stunned Elspeth standing in the door way.
  
  Elspeth: Oh sorry I-I thought (Rushton sits up and looks at her) (hurt & confused) sorry (leaves and slams the door).
  
  SCENE 25
  
  Elspeth running away from the house almost crying, she goes over to the fountain, looking for someone. She sees a druid armsman (Gilbert), goes up to him and kisses him.
  
  Elspeth: (grabbing his hand) Lets go.
  
  Gilbert: (follows) um yeah...yeah ok!
  
  (Rushton is running after Elspeth. You see Elspeth and Gilbert ride away on a horse together)
  
  Gilbert: So, I'm Gilbert. Who are you? What's the matter?
  
  Elspeth: I hate him! I hate him!!!
  
  (Elspeth and Gilbert ride off just as Rushton comes out the front door)
  
  SCENE 26
  
  Louis Larkin walking with Henry Druid, they go past Selmar, Dameon & another misfit.
  
  (Selmar has her head back, and mouth open clearly not wanting to be there)
  
  Henry Druid: Remember the old days Louis? Where has the time gone?
  
  Louis: (shakes his hand) Great to see you again as always.
  
  (Henry Druid walks off and Cameo walks over smiling)
  
  Cameo: Hey, congratulations. Looks like you got yourself a job huh?
  
  Louis: Oh yeah, Henry Druid couldna been nicer when he said...there was no way he could hire me.
  
  Cameo: (smile gone) Well, hate to say I told you so.
  
  Louis: No you don't (Cameo goes to walk away) where're ye goin'?
  
  Cameo: (turning back) To finish what you started (walks over to Henry Druid who is with a guy). Happy birthday, Henry.
  
  Henry Druid: Cameo, thankyou. How are you?
  
  Cameo: Uh well, I'm sure you've heard, Vega's brought you up to speed?
  
  Henry Druid: I'm really sorry, about everything. I really liked your farm manager.
  
  Cameo: Soon to be ex-farm manager...can't expect us to keep him on, really. Not after he's lied to us all, and left us with nothing.
  
  Henry Druid: Nothing?
  
  Cameo: Yeah, I mean I s'pose I'm just going to be stuck here for Lud knows how long, it's not like I have anything else going for me.
  
  Henry Druid: I'm sure that's not true, you know if there's anything that I can do for you or the rest of your friends-
  
  Cameo: Oh, you're very, very sweet and very busy (kisses his cheek). I just wanted to say happy birthday.
  
  Henry Druid: I'm never to busy for you, dearest. We'll have dinner, figure something out.
  
  Julie: I'd like that, thankyou (smiles). (walks off)
  
  SCENE 27
  
  the courtyard, Dameon is walking up to Selmar who is sitting on a chair backwards and looking completely bored/fed up.
  
  Dameon: Hey, what're you doing? I need you to introduce me t-
  
  Selmar: Ok you know what, Dameon? Ah no.
  
  Dameon: What?
  
  Selmar: This whole night all you've done is use me to meet other people.
  
  Dameon: (offended) That's-not true (Selmar gives him a look). Ok... maybe a little.
  
  Selmar: Do you have any idea how pathetic it is to sit there an listen to you babble about feelings and music, while all the other girls just swoon over you?
  
  Dameon: Who (looks around)?
  
  Selmar: Who cares (stands up)? Listen to me, the point is that those girls don't know you, they don't care about who you really are. In fact, they have no idea that every day of your first week up here, you shared your lunches with that little skinny squirrel that kept getting his nuts stolen by that fat squirrel.
  
  Dameon: I hated that mean squirrel.
  
  Selmar: And-none of those girls were there when you had to read your poem aloud in the dining hall and your hand was shaking because you were nervous and you cared what the other kids thought.
  
  Dameon: poem...what poem?
  
  Selmar: ...I--wish I was a mermaid
  
  Dameon: (smiling) You remember that? That was like ages ago.
  
  Selmar: I--wish I was a mermaid and.....was friends with all the fish, a shiny tail an sea shells I (Dameon kisses her) I w-wish...
  
  Dameon: (smiling) Oh I gotta go. There's Gevan, I've been meaning to catch up with him (walks off still smiling)!
  
  Selmar: (rubs her hands together) This is the greatest party ever.
  
  SCENE 28
  
  Henry Druid looking at a bottle of wine. Alexi walks up.
  
  Alexi: She has no intention of quitting.
  
  Henry Druid: Didn't sound that way to me.
  
  Alexi: Oh I wish she would so-so we could-we could get the hell away from you.
  
  Henry Druid: If you're looking for a fight-
  
  Alexi: No save it, you an I both know the only reason you're punishing her is cause she is doing so well without you. You're afraid she's not going to need you to tell her how to run the company or her projects and I got news for you - she's better then you at both...if you don't want to lose her then just let her keep doing what she's been doing. You'll stay rich, she'll be happy and I'll-I'll figure out a way to make it work.
  
  Henry Druid: I need a corkscrew (walks off).
  
  SCENE 29
  
  Madame Vega talking to some guests.
  
  Madame Vega: Have a nice time.
  
  (guests walk off & Madame Vega looks lost, Henry Druid walks over to her)
  
  Henry Druid: Big party Vega...your mother would have loved it...birthdays, holidays, she always loved a good party.
  
  Madame Vega: (starting to smile) she did (smile goes).
  
  Henry Druid: I miss her.
  
  Madame Vega: (sadness in her voice)I know...me too.
  
  Henry Druid: your sisters...they miss you too. They were so young when you left.
  
  Madame Vega: I wanted to invite them but I didn't know whether they'd be allowed out...
  
  Henry Druid: The twins have each other, in a way. You're all I got Vega and if I'm running you so ragged you haven't got time to talk to me anymore-
  
  Madame Vega: That's not true and you know it...I love working for you...I just want you to be proud of me.
  
  Henry Druid: ...taking in a stray kid, that's the sort of thing your mum wouldn't have done. More misfits...
  
  Madame Vega: Yeah, except she would have done it just to p!ss you off.
  
  (they both laugh)
  
  Henry Druid: (kisses her head) Don't be late Monday (Madame Vega smiles).
  
  SCENE 30
  
  Rushton sitting on the stairs at the front entry, Freya sees him and goes up.
  
  Freya: Hi.
  
  Rushton: Hi.
  
  Freya: So, I guess she likes you, hmm?
  
  Rushton: I guess...she did...
  
  Freya: Oh, you look so sad I...I'd give anything to be that miserable...cause if I remember correctly that's what it feels like to be in love.
  
  (She runs her fingers through his hair, touches his arm then leaves. Rushton just sits there, almost crying)
  
  A horse rides up a little way but they don't see Rushton.
  
  Cut to Elspeth and Gilbert on the horse.
  
  Gilbert: Do you want me to walk you in?
  
  Elspeth: No, thanks.
  
  Gilbert: (leaning to her) I'm glad to have met you, Elspeth (kisses her).
  
  Elspeth: You too (gets off the horse and waves bye to him).
  
  (Gilbert rides off. Elspeth watches him go, and when she turns around, Rushton is walking over)
  
  Rushton: ...why do you plague me?
  
  Elspeth: (sigh, almost crying) huh...ok. Look, you're too late (still almost crying). Just leave it.
  
  (she turns around and goes inside, leaving Rushton standing there hurt and shocked)

  OUSH. It's been ages. But seriously, editing this one has taken me ages (I can't say writing this one took me ages, because seriously, all I'm doing is elaborating on the terrible transcripts on the internet of theOC episodes). This transcript was mis-spelt, a grammatical nightmare (and probably still is, though I tried :P , had absolutely NO scenes defined, it was just like a big, messy monologue...so many mistakes in it I nearly gave up half way...but nevertheless, here is, in it's ever-confusing greatness:
  
  The Real OC
  Episode 7
  
  Teaser
  
  Selmar: The plan is undeniable.
  
  Elspeth: I'm denying it.
  
  Selmar: We have Vega's carriage, we have a perfect alibi as I go to this Darthnor herder mass every year and we also have my entire life never doing anything wrong. Which completely allows Alexi and Vega to give a false sense of trust.
  
  Elspeth: And you want to give that all away for Dameon in a white t-shirt doing body shots.
  
  Selmar: (pause) Sorry, I thought that was a rhetorical question. Yes, Elspeth, yes. On the last weekend before harvest, one goes to Sador, it is tradition, it is a right of passage, and you know what else? What happens in Sador, stays in Sador.
  
  Elspeth: What happens in Sador?
  
  Selmar: I don't know, because it stays there, that's why we must go.
  
  Elspeth: Ahh.. I don't know about lying to Vega and Alexi.
  
  Selmar: Okay, I can respect that. I will lie to them.
  
  Elspeth: Why can't we just go to Darthnor?
  
  Selmar: Okay, Darthnor is just a bunch of pathetic virgins ogling some farm boy with crooked teeth.
  
  Elspeth: I thought you went every year.
  
  Selmar: (bites lip) Listen, Earthtemple's a big place, I bet you won't even see Rushton.
  
  Elspeth: I don't care about seeing Rushton or not seeing Rushton.
  
  Selmar: Okay, therefore you should have no problem coming to Sador.
  
  Elspeth: Well, won't you be hanging out with Dameon?
  
  Selmar: No, because he'll probably be hanging out with Matthew and Cameo again.
  
  (pause)
  
  Selmar: Sigh. That's a bit painful.
  
  (Vega enters kitchen)
  
  Vega: Hey ya, girls. You all excited about Darthnor? Selmar's been going since she was ten. It's the highlight of her year.
  
  Selmar: Thanks, highlight's a bit overstated. Check you out, big pimpin'.
  
  Vega: Yeah, I got a meeting with a bunch of Druids today.
  
  Elspeth: Why, you after one of them?
  
  Vega: No, it's a job interview.
  
  (Alexi enters kitchen, opens fridge)
  
  Alexi: Which she'll never take. They like to flatter her every once in a while.
  
  Vega: But I go for the free meal.
  
  Elspeth: But I mean, you'll still be a public defender, right?
  
  Alexi: After 15 years? There's no way she's selling out.
  
  Vega: Well, it'd have to be one hell of a free meal.
  
  Selmar: And that's what they call a call-back in comedy, Elspeth.
  
  Vega: So, how soon until you two are leaving on your trip?
  
  Selmar: I don't know. (looks at Elspeth) How soon?
  
  Elspeth: Tomorrow.
  
  SCENE 1
  
  (Selmar walks into Elspeth's room with a Sadorian cloak. She puts it over Elspeth's head then steps back)
  
  Selmar: Looks good.
  
  Elspeth: I don't wear these things.
  
  (Selmar doing the "what's wrong with you" move.)
  
  Selmar: Elspeth? You mean cloak? You really need to brush up on your Sadorian.
  
  (holds out Sadorian phrase book)
  
  Selmar: There's over 500 useful phrases.
  
  Elspeth: (reads from book) "May I please see a lady's worsted nylon bathing suit?"
  
  Selmar: (nods head) Yeap, bet did you know that one?
  
  Elspeth: What's this? (takes out some brown piece of paper)
  
  Selmar: Our itinerary for our trip.
  
  Elspeth: Selmar, it's over 12 pages long, we're going for two days.
  
  Selmar: Right. Well, if you're going to get over Rushton, somebody needs activities.
  
  Elspeth: I don't need to get over Rushton. I'm over Rushton.
  
  *turns to leave*
  
  Selmar: Elspeth? Elspeth. Look at me, this is me here, okay? Girl. Now I know you're hurting, and I think you need to unburden your soul.
  *sits on bed, and pats the bed space next to her*
  
  Selmar: Anytime, I'm here to help.
  
  Elspeth: Trust me, my soul is fine. It's just that-
  
  SCENE 2
  
  (in the stable, on the farm. Rushton's mucking it out.)
  
  Rushton: -I don't know, it never would have worked out.
  
  Dameon: No kidding, it is so much better this way. She's all like, wounded, somebody save me.
  
  Rushton: I thought you liked that.
  
  Dameon: It is just too hot to save anyone. Speaking of hot, I can't believe you and Freya. You have to tell me everything, I've been waiting for this forever.
  
  Rushton: You only just met her...
  
  Dameon: You've seen it before.
  
  Rushton: C'mon!
  
  Dameon: touched it?
  
  Rushton: Dameon! It's a secret act between two people,
  
  Dameon: It was a letdown, right? Totally awkward?
  
  Rushton: Well, it's not like I had anything to compare it to.
  
  Dameon: So? Do it again, it is way better the second time.
  
  Rushton: Well, I'm supposed to go visit her later this afternoon.
  
  Dameon: Trust me, Rush. Get back on that horse. You got to giddy up!
  
  (pats one of the horses in the stable on the back).
  
  Rushton: Shh. Someone will hear you!
  
  (both laugh)
  
  SCENE 3
  
  (on the farm, Alad and Louis having a heated argument)
  
  Louis: Well, ye're right. I dinney understand. Ye promised me that th' apartment would be ready tomorrow.
  
  Alad: It's not quite-
  
  Louis: I dinney care, I'm moving out this weekend - where am I supposed to stay?
  
  Alad: You should have thought of an alternate long before it came to this. You can't expect us to all drop everything for you after what you did-
  
  Louis: I cannay take it back now, boy! I-alright, you know what? Forget it.
  
  (Louis storms off)
  
  Dameon and Rushton enter.
  
  Rushton: Alad?
  
  Alad: Hey.
  
  Rushton: So, Dameon and I are going to -
  
  Alad: Oh right, you're going to Gadfia. Yeah...the horses...
  
  Rushton: We're not leaving until tomorrow... for Sador?
  
  Alad: Oh yeah, right. That's it. I meant-ah-
  
  (Rushton looks concerned)
  
  Rushton: You, okay? I was going to go over to check on Freya but if you want, I could stay here.
  
  Alad: Nono, I'm-I'm fine. Yeah, go see Freya. Freya's great. Isn't she, Dameon? She's a really-really great kid.
  
  Dameon: Sure..
  
  Alad: Anyway, I gotta...
  
  Rushton: Right, I know, yeah. Kay. Alright bye.
  
  (they leave).
  
  Dameon: cya
  
  Alad: Cya.
  
  SCENE 4
  
  (Louis knocking on Alexi's study room door)
  
  Alexi: Hey!
  
  Louis: Hey. Is now a bad time?
  
  (cut to them in the living room)
  
  Alexi: I don't know why you come to me in the first place.
  
  Louis: I-I *shrugs*
  
  Alexi: I'll call my realtor. I'm sure she'll be able to help you find something.
  
  Louis: Thanks, ye ken. Yeah, thank ye.
  
  Alexi: So, how did the rest of the farm take the news?
  
  Louis: Well, uh. I decided to uh, table that conversation until the harvest.
  
  Alexi: You haven't told anyone yet?
  
  Louis: Only Alad. Cameo's with Matthew, Rushton's going to Sador this weekend so, I thought'd it'd be easier, cleaner if I did it tha' way. They come back I'm gone, an' then I tell 'em, then they star' work and forget about it.
  
  Alexi: I'm not so sure about this.
  
  Louis: *sighs* well, Neither em I but th' thought of havin' everyone watch me pack up my life, move out, it's hard enough as it is. I'd never thought I'd be that fella that, *sighs* that hated bankrupt fella.
  
  SCENE 5
  
  (Freya's room, at the Druid encampment. They're making out).
  
  Freya: When we go to Sador, it's going to be so romantic.
  
  Rushton: It's kind of gross there.
  
  Freya: So what, we won't leave the hotel room.
  
  Rushton: I don't know.
  
  Freya: It'll be way better the second time.
  
  Rushton: No, I mean I don't know about Sador. I don't think I'm going to go, I think the farm's having a meltdown.
  
  Freya: You're thinking about the farm right now? Cmon, Rush.
  
  Rushton: I don't know if I can leave Obernewtyn alone.
  
  Freya: Rushie, you need a life.
  
  Rushton: We can go to like Sador whenever. I feel like I should be here right now.
  
  Freya: Okay, fine. Gotta go meet the Druid anyway.
  
  SCENE 6
  
  (Selmar and Elspeth at the kitchens, with Dameon and his friends at another table. Elspeth is working, Selmar is at the bar, drinking chocca. Selmar motions Elspeth over)
  
  Selmar: Was he looking at me?
  
  Elspeth: (looks at Dameon) Still no.
  
  Selmar: You know what he's doing? And it's textbook. He's playing hot and cold, trying to pretend our little kiss didn't happen.
  
  Elspeth: There were no witnesses. I mean, I didn't see anything.
  
  Selmar: Well, I guess I'll just have to make magic happen again, won't I? *taps head*
  
  (Elspeth nods sarcastically)
  
  (Freya and Rushton enter, Freya waves to Elspeth)
  
  Rushton: Hey, how you've been? Haven't seen you in awhile.
  
  Elspeth: Yeah, Well, the last time I saw you, you kinda had your hands full.
  
  (Elspeth and Rushton have this intense glare)
  
  Dameon: Rush, c'mon!
  
  Elspeth: Well, don't let me keep you.
  
  Rushton: I won't.
  
  Elspeth: Good.
  
  Rushton: Uh huh.
  
  (Rushton looks away and walks to Dameon's table)
  
  Domick: Hey Rush.
  
  Rushton: Hey Dom.
  
  Dameon: You don't make those newcomers watch real donkey shows, do you?
  
  SCENE 7
  
  (Vega's in one of the Druid's tents)
  
  Erin: Madame Vega! How'd you get pass security?
  
  Vega: How are you, Erin, sister dear? (stands up)
  
  (they hug)
  
  Vega: Well, you look great! Being a slave for the Man agrees with you.
  
  Erin: Six seconds until the first insult! You're getting soft! Still riding much?
  
  Vega: Every morning, it helps me keep a clear mind, that and not working at a joint like this.
  
  Erin: (nods) Yeah, decent clothing, appropriate weather, druid armsmen. I don't know how I ever left Obernewtyn.
  
  Vega: Well, if I remember correctly, you kept burning farmhouses down.
  
  Erin: Conceited.
  
  Vega: That's right. It was me... So, what are the good folks at the Druid Encampment doing.
  
  Erin: I gotta tell ya', you made some noise with that Louis Larkin case.
  
  Vega: Ah, I didn't do anything.
  
  Erin: You still got your work cut out for you. But heading the soldierguard's office for a pass, negotiating a restitution deal, calling in a high powered security attorney in the spend of a weekend.
  
  (walks to a horse and carriage)
  
  Vega: Lud damn, I'm impressive.
  
  Erin: And conceited.
  
  Vega: So you keep saying.
  
  Erin: Truth be told, no one was going to touch that guy. The fact that you did, made father think and made me think. Is Vega really ready to come down off her high horse? Is she finally getting tired of being a martyr?
  
  (steps up to carriage)
  
  Vega: Lud, I was just hoping for a free meal.
  
  Erin: Sorry to disappoint you. All you're getting is a really good sales pitch.
  
  Vega: Sounds delicious.
  
  (carriage door closes)
  
  SCENE 7
  
  (The kitchens. Selmar and Elspeth are talking).
  
  Elspeth: What are you uh-
  
  Selmar: Shh, eavesdropping, I hear like a wolf.
  
  Dameon: What do you mean you're not going?
  
  Rushton: I just, I don't know Dameon. I can't.
  
  Dameon: But how am I supposed to get there? The guys are going down for that stupid newcomer's hazing. Domick's carriage is full.
  
  Rushton: I'm sorry.
  
  Dameon : ugh, I'm totally stranded.
  
  (Selmar bites lip.)
  
  SCENE 8
  
  (Cut to Freya and Ariel behind a stack of barrels)
  
  Ariel: You know, what happens in Sador stays in Sador.
  
  Freya: Ariel, I can't. I just got back with the Druid, I'm having enough trouble sneaking around with Rushton.
  
  Ariel: I'd give it a week. You'll miss me.
  
  (Elspeth overhears and gives him a suspicious look, Ariel stops smiling and walks away).
  
  Freya: C'mon Rush. Let's get you out of here before the road trip starts.
  
  Rushton: (shrugs to Dameon)
  
  (they leave)
  
  (Selmar walks up to Dameon's table)
  
  Selmar: Hello Dameon. Selmar. I believe you remember *winks at him* Nothing? Um, I heard you needed a ride tomorrow.
  
  SCENE 9
  
  (The next day, Vega, Selmar and Elspeth walking to the outside)
  
  Vega: Remember all the numbers?
  
  Selmar: Yes, I remember our ID number.
  
  Vega: Did you get any water? Huh? Extra food? Underwear?
  
  Selmar: (exasperated) It's amazing I turned out so normal.
  
  (walks out, see Dameon)
  
  Selmar: Hey! Let me get that (tries to lift his suitcases and falls)
  
  Vega : Hey, Dameon. I had no idea you were into the Darthnor scene.
  
  Dameon: Darthnor? Ew.
  
  Selmar: He goes for the food.
  
  Vega: food...
  
  Dameon: I'm going to say bye to Rush, don't touch my stuff.
  
  (Dameon leaves)
  
  Selmar: This is going to be awesome.
  
  Vega: He's hot stuff, that Dameon.
  
  Selmar: And now, it's ruined.
  
  SCENE 10
  
  (The lake, Rushton is fishing)
  
  Rushton: I can't go.
  
  Dameon: C'mon Rush. I got us a ride, just grab some stuff and let's go.
  
  Louis: Hey, what are ye guys still doin' here?
  
  Rushton: Well, I thought I'd stay home this weekend.
  
  Louis: What, why? I thought ye were looking forward t' this trip.
  
  Rushton: Well, I was, but you know, I thought that we could spend some time going over the harvest plans-
  
  Louis: We cannay. I'm sorry. I thought ye were going so, I-uh. Made other plans.
  
  Rushton: I was, I just thought..I mean, are you sure? Cuz' I thought maybe we could.
  
  Alad: Look, please c'mon. I cannay take care of both of us.
  
  Rushton: Okay. I'll go pack my stuff.
  
  (turns and walks away)
  
  Dameon: Rush...
  
  SCENE 11
  
  (Rushton and Dameon walk out the door and go to the carriage)
  
  Rushton: So, who's going with us?
  
  Dameon: You'll see.
  
  (opens carriage door)
  
  Dameon: Great news! I got Rush to come along.
  
  (Rushton finds Elspeth in the backseat)
  
  Rushton: Oh.
  
  Dameon: Yay! We're going to Sador!
  
  (carriage pulls away)
  
  SCENE 12
  
  (Alexi and Louis painting a room in the Druid encampment)
  
  Alexi: I can't believe you talked me into doing this, we could've brought somebody in.
  
  Louis: Where's th' fun in tha'? It only took us a couple hours to paint me farm house, remember?
  
  Alexi: Your farm house was the size of a prison cell.
  
  Louis: Well, we migh' be paintin' one of those as well.
  
  (Alexi looks at him with a disturbed look)
  
  Louis: Sorry. Listen thank ye. I was thinkin' about bein' home when Matty an' th' other kids come back.
  
  Alexi: You haven't told them yet.
  
  Louis: Well, not exactly, I was gan t' tell Rushton, but then, it's so impossibly hard.
  
  Alexi: Because it is! Louis, Rushton isn't a little child anymore, he's a work colleague. And if he comes home and finds you gone, he'll never forgive you.
  
  SCENE 13
  
  (Rushton, Selmar, Dameon and Elspeth sitting on top of the carriage as it's going. Selmar's placed a wireless radio up there, which is somehow, magically, picking up music)
  
  Dameon: We should be there in, like, 3 hours?
  
  Selmar: Three and a half.
  
  Dameon: Well, that's because someone's driving this carriage like an old woman.
  
  Selmar: I'm doing the speed limit!
  
  Dameon: Pfft! Hardly.
  
  Selmar: What? Who talks like that?
  
  Dameon: Who gets passed by a caravan full of herder priests? Oh wait, who? Selmar does.
  
  Selmar: Well, they have Lud on their side, okay Dameon? I'm not going to beat lud.
  
  Dameon: Elspeth, can you farseek Domick? See how far ahead he is of us?
  
  Selmar: That's weird being insulted here.
  
  Dameon: Not as insulting as being here with you.
  
  Selmar: Point taken.
  
  (Elspeth reaches into the bag to get water and offers it to Rushton)
  
  Rushton: no, thanks.
  
  Dameon: I'll take it. I'm so dehydrated. What is up with the heat? My hair is frizzing out!
  
  Selmar: See? You know, strangely, I think my lowland blood benefits me.
  
  Dameon: You're a lowlander?
  
  Selmar: Yes, that's why I feel so comfortable in this desert heat.
  
  Dameon: This is a nightmare. I'm sweating to death, carriage travelling at 10 miles an hour, on like a rickshaw listening to this...music.
  
  Selmar: HEY, do not insult Death Cab.
  
  Dameon: It's like one gita and a whole lot of complaining.
  
  Selmar: This reminds me of someone else who's doing a whole lot of complaining, Dameon. YOU. Listen to me, I am driving this carriage, and I will drive at the speed I feel comfortable, okay? It's my music, it's my snacks-
  
  Dameon: Mashed beans and cloudberry cordial? What are you, 8?
  
  Selmar: Elspeth, Rushton, say goodbye to Dameon.
  
  Dameon: What are you doing?
  
  Selmar: I'm dropping you off.
  
  Dameon: No you won't!
  
  Selmar: Don't touch the reigns.
  
  (Selmar and Dameon struggle to control the reigns while Rushton and Elspeth panic in the backround. The horse pulling the carriage looks annoyed, clearly just wanting to get somewhere cool for a drink.)
  
  Dameon: Stop!
  
  (they drive into the grass and one wheel falls off the carriage)
  
  SCENE 14
  
  (all four are standing outside a mouldy looking old pub)
  
  (cut to all four standing inside a room in the mouldy old pub)
  
  Dameon: Ew.
  
  Selmar: It's not exactly the honeymoon suite.
  
  Rushton: Well, it's only for one night. Until the wheel's fixed.
  
  Dameon: That's nothing to brag about. Sweet, do we have to pay extra for the pubes? This is so gross, I can not stay here.
  
  Elspeth: well, unless you feel like hitchhiking again.
  
  Dameon: No thank you. I've had enough time in a buggy full of chickens.
  
  Rushton: Well, we're really lucky that guy stopped for us.
  
  Dameon: Well, we'd be even luckier if Coletrickle here hadn't driven us off the road.
  
  Selmar: Who the hell is coltrickle?
  
  Dameon: Tom cruise, Days of thunder?
  
  Rushton: Hey guys can we try to be positive, here?
  
  Selmar: Yeah, okay, I am positive that this is Dameon's fault.
  
  Dameon: I am positive that I am leaving this place with a rash.
  
  Selmar: So you're planning on making some extra money tonight?
  
  (Dameon glares at her and walks into the bathroom)
  
  Dameon: Ew. This bathroom is so...ew..
  
  (Selmar puts her head her hands, exasperated by Dameon's complaining.)

  SCENE 15
  
  (Alexi and Vega in the kitchen)
  
  Vega: Hello
  
  Alexi: Hey
  
  Vega: What happened to you? Were you finger painting in the backyard?
  
  Alexi: Well, I was at Louis's. Helping him paint his new room at the 'camp.
  
  Vega: The farm hands couldn't handle him anymore?
  
  Alexi: mhmm. Is it okay that I'm helping him?
  
  Vega: Yeah. Yeah I guess.
  
  Alexi: So, how'd it go with Erin?
  
  Vega: (shrugs)
  
  Alexi: Wow, the meeting must've gone well. You never said. You must've let them down.
  
  Vega: You know with a private room at the Druid's, I could do more normal work than I do now.
  
  Alexi: Vega, you're not seriously considering the job, are you?
  
  Vega: The salary the offered me, it's outrageous.
  
  Alexi: Since when have you been swayed by a paycheck? The Seraphims have all the money we needs.
  
  Vega: Yeah, except of course, it's your money.
  
  Alexi: It's our money.
  
  Vega: Not really.
  
  Alexi: Well, unless you want to buy the Darthnor mines and own Norseland.
  
  Vega: It's not about buying stuff, well it'd be nice, it's about contributing. And I have an opportunity.
  
  Alexi: It's working for people who you hate. You always referred to those little settlement places as evil empires. Controlled by an insane dictator - who just happens to be your father, this time around.
  
  Vega: Well, it goes with the territory.
  
  Alexi: But PD's office is your life! I don't want to see you give that up so you can buy the rice next week.
  
  Vega: I don't believe this, I think balance is important.
  
  Alexi: You don't think we have balance?
  
  Vega: No we don't. You have all the money.
  
  Alexi: And you have all the ideals.
  
  Vega: You like that I don't make a lot of money.
  
  Alexi: What?
  
  Vega: That's what makes us different from all the other families.
  
  Alexi: Ugh.
  
  Vega: All these other men you never wanted to be married to their small town little sweethearts, as long as I haven't sold out, you haven't sold out.
  
  Alexi: So not true.
  
  Vega: C'mon face it, the only reason that keeps you being just another landowner is me.
  
  (Alexi looks at her like "I can't believe you said that")
  
  Vega: But hey, it's just an offer.
  
  SCENE 16
  
  (Elspeth and Rushton downstairs in the pub, looking at a manky menu)
  
  Rushton: So, I have to pick wisely, brown muck or grey muck?
  
  Elspeth: I don't know, pick whatever.
  
  Rushton: I don't care either, so...
  
  Elspeth: So I guess we'll all just starve.
  
  Rushton: Are you ever going to stop being mad at me?
  
  Elspeth: I'm not mad at you.
  
  Rushton: Right.
  
  Elspeth: Well, why would I be mad at you?
  
  Rushton: Because you walked in on me with another girl?
  
  Elspeth: Actually, I think she was a woman. But why would I care about that?
  
  Rushton: I don't know. Shouldn't be a problem
  
  Elspeth: There's no problem.
  
  Rushton: Cept' brown muck or grey muck.
  
  Elspeth: I don't care, Rushton. I don't care about the mucky food in this place and I really don't care that I walked in on you with some girl, or woman, whatever.
  
  Rushton: The only reason I was with her was because you were clearly not interested.
  
  Elspeth: I wasn't.
  
  Rushton: But you are now right?
  
  Elspeth: Ugh! Get over yourself!
  
  Rushton: Fine.
  
  Elspeth: Great, so we'll just go to Sador and split up so we don't have to talk to each other ever again.
  
  Rushton: Sounds like a plan. By the way, you could've knocked first.
  
  Elspeth: Did you ever wonder why I went to find you?
  
  Rushton: Everyday. Here's your chance. Clear the air. Tell me.
  
  Elspeth: ...brown muck, the grey muck looks like dishwater.
  
  SCENE 17
  
  (Selmar in the manky room turning through the pages of some book)
  
  Selmar: Hey another language, that's awesome.
  
  (Dameon comes out of the bathroom wearing boxers)
  
  Dameon: What're you doing?
  
  Selmar: Almost reading. This is either someone's bible, or a recipe book.
  
  Dameon: Get off the bed. The sooner I go to sleep, the sooner it'll be morning and the sooner this nightmare will be over. ... I'm not sleeping on that couch. It's stained and smells foul. You sleep there.
  
  Selmar: After you made it sound so appealing, yeah, right, okay, good night.
  
  Dameon: C'mon get off the bed!
  
  Selmar: Nope.
  
  Dameon: Be fair to the blind man?
  
  Selmar: Chivalry's dead, sugar.
  
  (Dameon releuctantly gets into bed)
  
  Dameon: (glares at Selmar) You make a move, I rip out your jugular.
  
  Selmar: Hey, pillow talk.
  
  SCENE 18
  
  (Elspeth and Rushton walking back to the room, Elspeth opens door, Rushton's stopped by the grubby looking barman, who's carrying a note)
  
  Barman: This jus' came fer ye by bird.
  
  (Rushton looks confused and unrolls the letter)
  
  Elspeth: What is it?
  
  Rushton: (brooding) it's a letter from Louis...
  
  (Rushton's reading)
  
  Elspeth: *waiting* Uh, yeah. Is everything okay?
  
  Rushton: Uh well, no, uh, not exactly.
  
  Elspeth: Well, what is it?
  
  Rushton: (reads) "When you get home, I'm not going to be there. I've-"
  
  Elspeth: He's been fired? He's leaving and he's telling you in a LETTER?
  
  Rushton: (reading) "I was going to tell you, before you left, but then I knew you'd stay so and I just couldn't let you watch me pack up my life."
  
  (Rushton walks into the room and throws the letter into the fireplace. Elspeth goes over to the pull out bed. Rushton looks baffled - between angry and upset/crying. He sits down on the bed.)
  
  Elspeth: I can sleep on the floor.
  
  Rushton: No, it's okay.
  
  (He lies down)
  
  Elspeth: I'm sorry. About Louis. You knew him longer than I did...
  
  Rushton: Thanks
  
  (Elspeth moves to the other side of the bed, they turn in opposite directions going to sleep)
  
  SCENE 19
  
  (the next morning)
  
  (Elspeth and Rushton are sleeping, the only thing that changed is that Rushton is cradling Elspeth)
  
  (Elspeth wakes up and realizes this)
  
  (Rushton wakes up and realizes what he's doing)
  
  Rushton: Sorry, I didn't mean to uh-
  
  Elspeth: I know. You want to go back to Obernewtyn?
  
  Rushton: I just- I just don't want to stay here. I'm going to go take a bath.
  
  SCENE 20
  
  (Selmar and Dameon having breakfast in the pub reading newspapers)
  
  (they trade newspaper in unison)
  
  (Selmar pushes toast to Dameon, while Dameon takes a bite of it)
  
  (Dameon and Selmar both pick up their coffee in unison, freezing when they realize what they just did, they both put down their newspapers)
  
  Selmar: So...Sador.
  
  Dameon: Yea.
  
  Selmar: You think we should've woken up Elspeth and Rushton?
  
  Dameon: No, they looked so cute together. Vomit.
  
  Selmar: Hey it's a real sentimental streak you got there, Dameon.
  
  Dameon: Trouser it, Selmar. It's too early for your so called comedy.
  
  Selmar: You enjoy my comedy.
  
  Dameon: *raises eyebrows*
  
  Selmar: You know what else I think you enjoy? Me.
  
  Dameon: Well, that's because you're mentally unstable.
  
  Selmar: Truespoken. Be that as it may, I think that facts speak for themselves. May I remind you of a little something I'd like to call, the time you kissed me by the pool at the Druid's birthday party.
  
  Dameon: What're you talking about?
  
  Selmar: Okay, I know that denial is a very powerful coping mechanism. But I just think Dameon that it's time that we paid lip service to our lip service.
  
  Dameon: Two words: no tongue.
  
  Selmar: Well, you did agree to take this little trip down to Sador.
  
  Dameon: I needed a ride.
  
  Selmar: We shared the same bed.
  
  Dameon: I wasn't going to sleep on the couch, it smelled like these eggs.
  
  Selmar: You ate my toast, Dameon.
  
  Dameon: I like crusts, Selmar.
  
  Selmar: Face it, our chemistry is undeniable.
  
  Dameon: You know what else is undeniable?
  
  Selmar: What?
  
  Dameon: The pain this fork is going to cause when i jam it into your EYE. Then we'll have two blind people behind the wheel.
  
  (Selmar looks at him incredulously)
  
  Dameon: (apologetic smile) I suffer from rage blackouts.
  
  Selmar: I'm just, uh, time to go. (puts down coffee)
  
  SCENE 21
  
  (in the manky room)
  
  Dameon: Where's Rush?
  
  Elspeth: Taking a bath.
  
  Dameon: I hope he's wearing shower shoes.
  
  Selmar: I brought you some breakfast and the chariot is prepared out front. You ready to go?
  
  Elspeth: I'm not sure we're going.
  
  Dameon: What?
  
  Elspeth: Rushton got a letter from Louis last night. Some bad news.
  
  (Rushton comes out of the bathroom)
  
  Dameon: What's going on? *sighs* oh. Louis is gone?
  
  (hugs Rushton)
  
  Dameon: I'm so sorry. Whatever you want to do, Rush. But if I may, speaking as a child who has had many parental-type figures leave me, you do not want to be home right now. And this is our last chance for freedom, we get back to Obernewtyn and it's all just harvest and reality. Let's go to Sador, have fun. Life will suck soon enough.
  
  Elspeth: He might.. actually be right.
  
  Selmar: There's got to be a first time for everything.
  
  *Dameon *somehow* glares at Selmar*
  
  Selmar: Rage black outs, got it. I'll be in the carriage.
  
  *Selmar leaves*
  
  Rushton: Let's go to Sador.
  
  SCENE 22
  
  (In Sador on some road)
  
  Selmar: I still don't understand why we needed to get two rooms. I'm going to leave you my key just in case you get lonely.
  
  Dameon: Or in case I might smother you with a pillow while you're sleeping.
  
  Selmar: Whatever turns you on.
  
  Rushton: So everyone is probably at the Earthtemple?
  
  Dameon: Oh, just let me run into the spice store. You can get whatever you want without a Herder token. I need to make a pitstop for some of the other misfits. I guess they're already taking all the painkillers available in the Land.
  
  Selmar: I should probably pop in and get me something...for me, allergies.
  
  Rushton: (talking to Elspeth) You know, you don't have to come with us, if you don't want. Cuz' you know, I'm going to go find the gang.
  
  Elspeth: It's okay, really. It's fine.
  
  SCENE 23
  
  (In a restaurant at the Druid encampment with Erin and Vega)
  
  Vega: So where are the other druids? Oh right, I forgot, vampires hate the sunlight.
  
  Erin: They didn't want to appear desperate.
  
  Vega: So they sent you.
  
  Erin: mmhmm
  
  Vega: Desperation was always your strong suit.
  
  Erin: And yours is...I'm drawing a blank here.
  
  *both chuckle*
  
  Erin: Look, the druids are pulling the offer first thing in the morning, unless they hear from you.
  
  Vega: Well, tell them thank you very much for the offer, however, it did kind of freak out Alexi a little bit. You had him believing that I was actually considering this job.
  
  Erin: Which you are.
  
  Vega: Nah.
  
  Erin: As much as I like to flatter myself. And think you're here for the sparkling banter and crabcakes, I know you're interested.
  
  Vega: It's not gonna happen, Erin. I've been in the PD's office my whole life. It's what I do.
  
  Erin: And I'm giving you a platform to do it better.
  
  Vega: The sand dabs are great here.
  
  Erin: Don't you want to see what will happen if you really tested yourself? Not just one more overworked, underpaid ADA?
  
  Vega: I always loved being you.
  
  Erin: You know why?
  
  Vega: Why
  
  Erin: Cause' I was excellent. Which is why I left. I wanted to do more and so do you. Clocks tickin'...so sand dabs, huh?
  
  Vega: Yup
  
  *Vega looks a bit convinced*
  
  SCENE 24
  
  (Freya and Ariel at the Earthtemple - which isn't really *the* earthtemple. It's an underground cavernous place lit up like a nightclub. Ariel's doing A LOT of drinking)
  
  Ariel: C'mon Frey. Rock that [censored] up.
  
  Freya: Nah, that's cool.
  
  Ariel: Come on, Rushton's not even coming. Come on, I love this song.
  
  (Freya more than happily agrees.. and goes with him to dance, while, Rushton, Dameon, Selmar and Elspeth enter the club)
  
  Selmar: I love authentic Sadorian culture.
  
  (They go to get drinks)
  
  (Ariel and Freya are upstairs dancing intimately. They start making out, while Rushton and Elspeth + Dameon and Selmar go to dance, Rushton sees Freya and stares with horror, as Dameon and Selmar see them a couple seconds later. Freya sees Rushton and she stops dancing)
  
  Rushton: What are you doing?
  
  Freya: I'm sorry.
  
  Rushton: What that you got caught? First the Druid, now me. (to Freya) Don't ever talk to me again.
  
  Dameon:[to Freya] you are such a b!tch!
  
  Ariel: please, she hooks up with everyone-
  
  Freya: Shut up
  
  Rushton: Is that true?
  
  Ariel: Rushton! Everyone knows! Everyone! Now you do too!
  
  *Rushton pushes out of the place*
  
  Dameon: You're so mean!
  
  Ariel: Dameon, I am honest.
  
  (Dameon starts to run toward Ariel but Selmar pulls him back)
  
  Dameon: How could you do this to Rushton?!
  
  Selmar: He suffers from rage blackouts. (pulls him away)
  
  (Freya tries to go after Rushton only to be stopped by, guess who, Elspeth)
  
  Freya: This isn't about you.
  
  Elspeth: It is now.
  
  Freya: Get out of my way.
  
  Elspeth: You don't deserve him.
  
  *Elspeth glares, and a mental punch pushes Freya back into a wall*
  
  (Freya recovers a little then hits someone else and the whole club starts to fight)
  
  (Dameon, Selmar and Elspeth leave to find Rushton)
  
  SCENE 25
  
  (outside)
  
  Dameon: I'll go check the tent.
  
  Elspeth: I'll check the streets.
  
  Selmar: Call me (taps head), if you find her.
  
  SCENE 26
  
  (in a Sadorian tent)
  
  Dameon: Thank god, Rush.
  
  Rushton: I can't believe...well, I suppose I deserve it.
  
  Dameon: I know, sweetie...the others are out looking for you, we have to let them know you're ok.
  
  Rushton: No, I don't want to see them. I'm just so embarrassed.
  
  Dameon: It's okay. It's just- we'll go home.
  
  Rushton: I can't go home, Louis will be gone, everyone will be walking around hating and suspicious of everyone else, like a bloody orphanhome, I have- I have no one.
  
  Dameon: C'mon Rush, Let's get out of here. I'll grab our stuff.
  
  (Dameon goes to the bathroom, Rushton sees Dameon's Sadorian spices from before, takes them out and looks at them)
  
  Dameon: (calling) Hey Rush, you want to get some dinner? What're you in the mood for? (silence) Rush? Rush!
  
  (comes out the bathroom and finds him gone. Goes outside and runs into Selmar and Elspeth)
  
  Dameon: Bad news, he's gone. And he took the store of Sadorian *ehem* spices.
  
  (Selmar and Elspeth look worried)
  
  Dameon: Should we split up?
  
  Elspeth: No, let's look together.
  
  (all go find him)
  
  SCENE 27
  
  (Rushton is at a dark bar, drinking, takes out the spices and eats like the whole lot)
  
  SCENE 28
  
  (At Obernewtyn. Vega and Alexi are in the entry way, sitting in the fountain like children, with glasses of chocca)
  
  Vega: Hey
  
  Alexi: Hey. What happened at the druid's?
  
  Vega: You know, okay.
  
  Alexi: I can't believe harvest's almost here.
  
  Vega: Ah, I know.
  
  Alexi: Time just goes faster and faster every year.
  
  Vega: So if I did take this job...
  
  Alexi: You've already taken it, haven't you?
  
  Vega: I can still get out of it if you wanted me to.
  
  Alexi: *shakes head*
  
  Vega: To a new season.
  
  *clinks glasses*
  
  SCENE 29
  
  (Back to Rushton after taking the spices. He's having a really hard time looking, and shaking, and finally leaves the bar. Rushton staggers all over the place until he finds an alleyway to collapse and falls unconscious)
  
  SCENE 30
  
  (Elspeth, Dameon and Selmar finally find him. He's on the ground, and Elspeth runs and tries to picks him up, while Selmar and Dameon stand there stunned until Dameon realises what happens and starts crying on Selmar's shoulder)
  
  (Fade-out on Elspeth is still holding Rushon, trying to get him to wake up)

  EPISODE 8!
  
  TEASER
  
  The kitchen - shows a shot of Elspeth looking worried, then Selmar, then Vega, then finally Alexi at the fridge.
  
  Alexi: I have three sesame and one plain (motions to rolls)
  
  (shows close ups of Elspeth, Selmar & Vega shaking their heads)
  
  Alexi: look we're not gonna hear from the healer hall for a while, why don't you guys get bathed and dressed, and you (to Elspeth) can't be late for your meeting with the Doctor.
  
  Vega: I'll take 'em to the cave.
  
  Alexi: (to Vega) You can't be late for your first day at the Druid's.
  
  (nobody moves/leaves)
  
  Alexi: Well if we're not gonna eat lets-lets jus, let's just go.
  
  (Alexi heads out, Elspeth and Selmar get up and cross paths just as a pigeon, holding a roll of parchment, flies in the window. Selmar, Vega and Elspeth all look worried)
  
  SCENE 1
  
  In the healer hall - Rushton is in bed, and Louis is sitting by his bed side. Louis brushes hair out of Rushton's eyes then we see Vega & Alexi at the door of his room.
  
  Vega: (barely audible) Hey
  
  Louis: Mmm? (getting up to shake hands) he, uh, he jus' fell back t' sleep bu' he was awake an' uh aware.
  
  (Elspeth sits down where Louis was)
  
  Louis: (to Elspeth) thanks for uh...findin' him. If ye hadnay raced him home-
  
  Vega: When can he go back to work?
  
  Louis: Uh they said in a-in a day or so, they wanna keep him under observation.
  
  Alexi: That's healer policy
  
  (Maryon walks in)
  
  Maryon: So I guess there's no need t' worry right....I mean a teenage lad palms a dozen Sadorian spices and washes it down with tequila...its perfectly normal right?
  (to Alexi & Vega) what are you doing here?
  
  Louis: I sen' a bird to them.
  
  Maryon: What Rushton needs right now is t' be with his true supporters...no' visitors (looks at Elspeth)
  
  Vega: Well let's go...we should go.
  
  Alexi: (to Louis) If you need anything-
  
  Louis: Thank ye.
  
  (Elspeth stands, watching Rushton. Then she and Vega / Alexi leave the room)
  
  SCENE 2
  
  Vega: (to Elspeth) Don't take it personally. Maryon's just been through...
  
  Alexi: I'm sure she'll apologise
  
  Vega: (suprised) You are? Its Maryon we're talking about, she's too proud-
  
  (Maryon walks up behind them)
  
  Maryon: Excuse me, Elspeth can I talk to ye for a sec.
  
  (Elspeth walks over to her)
  
  Maryon: I dinney ken what happened in Sador, but here's wha' I do know. Since ye showed up Rushton's been a wreck, canny work properly, doesnay care about his revolution, (pause) and now ye can add another shinin' accomplishment to yer list of achievements. In addition t' stealin' carriages, burnin' down houses and befriendin' would be killers (pause)... Ye've almost killed Rushton. Th' Hope of Obernewtyn.
  
  (Elspeth looks shocked)
  
  Elspeth: You can blame me all you want (pause) but I would never do anything to hurt Rushton.
  
  (Maryon looks un-phased and calm)
  
  Maryon: Well ye're not goin' to get the chance because ye're never goin' to see him again. Ye even try an' I'll make sure ye're thrown back into an orphanage where ye belong.
  
  (Maryon walks away leaving Elspeth stunned)
  
  SCENE 3
  
  The Cave of the Zebkrahn - Alexi, Selmar & Elspeth are walking
  
  Selmar: Well, so wait, I don't get it. Ariel's the one that she should be blaming not you.
  
  Elspeth: She doesn't know that.
  
  Selmar: So why didn't you tell her.
  
  Elspeth: I'm just glad Rushton's ok.
  
  Alexi: Uhh guys I'm gonna check the machine, so I'll catch up with you at the diary room.
  
  Selmar: yeah
  
  Alexi: Elspeth don't be nervous, you're gonna do great.
  
  (Elspeth looks worried, Alexi walks off leaving Elspeth and Selmar alone.)
  
  Elspeth: (stunned) This is the cave?
  
  Selmar: Mm hmm. Ah harvest season Elspeth, it's my favourite time of year because your fellow misfits aren't around to ruin it (Cameo walks past idly with a few other young misfits of exceptional talent) except those ones.
  
  Elspeth: (walking around the room full of books / diaries) You guys have a light bulb. I've read about those...
  
  Selmar: I'm guessing you didn't at your orphanage?
  
  Elspeth: Ah, well we had a lot of candles.
  
  SCENE 4
  
  ( A shot of the cave, then pans to Selmar and Elspeth walking up to Alexi who is with Stephen Seraphim)
  
  Alexi: Oh hi guys
  
  Selmar: Hi Dr Stephen, how're you doin'?
  
  (Stephen says nothing, but covers his eyes)
  
  Selmar: 'kay (walking away) Alexi's more popular then me, that's a little bit pathetic I realise. Oh hey, ah after your meeting we gotta get your photo taken for the records.
  
  Elspeth: You have a camera?!
  
  Selmar: Of course. Doesn't everyone?
  
  SCENE 5
  
  (Vega is sitting at an arrival/reception type area in her new workplace at the Druid's. The room is piled up high with old looking books and maps and a couple of plants. Daffyd enters.
  
  Daffyd: Vega, have you filled out the security forms yet?
  
  Vega: This morning. So when do we do the retina scan?
  
  Daffyd: Friday.
  
  Vega: (suprised) I was joking
  
  Daffyd: So was I. Good thing we didn't hire you for your quick wit.
  
  Vega: Well Lud doesn't give with 2 hands.
  
  Daffyd: Come on, I'm going to show you around. Time for you to meet your team. Ok you'll be assigned your researcher, two paralegals and a file clerk to do all the heavy lifting for you. Speaking of which let me show you our state of the art work out area!
  
  Vega: Oh you guys have a place to work out?
  
  Daffyd: You didn't at Obernewtyn office?
  
  Vega: Oh, we have a farm...lots of exercise gets done there.
  
  SCENE 6
  
  (back at the cave) - Elspeth and Alexi are sitting outside Dr Stephen's office.
  
  Alexi: Everything's gonna be fine.
  
  Elspeth: (sigh) Its just, it's you know at Kinraide you sorta showed up, no essays, interviews, tests (sigh).
  
  Alexi: Elspeth, our program is one of the best private organisations in the country; if you do well here you can get into any Beforetime ruin in the land, liase with Druids, and even use your talents to influence the council. Make the world a better place.
  
  Elspeth: I don't really think I'm a Council-spy kinda gal...
  
  Alexi: After a year or two here, you will be.
  
  Elspeth: ...Council, huh?
  
  Alexi: Yeah.
  
  (Selmar walks up to them. She has a couple of diaries in her hands)
  
  Alexi: What'd you get?
  
  Selmar: Uhh the records from the era spanning the last three seasons Marisa was alive, good thing I don't have a life (to Elspeth) what is wrong? Are you nervous?
  
  Alexi: Selmar would you please tell Elspeth that Dr Seraphim is very nice
  
  Selmar: Oh yeah, he is loony!
  
  (Elspeth looks at them both, still worried. Dr Stephen walks out)
  
  Dr Stephen: Alexi, how are you?
  
  Alexi: Hi (shakes his hand) nice to see you.
  
  Dr Stephen: Good to see you. Selmar - always interesting to see you. Fascinating subject. And you must be Elspeth, you're a cool one, aren't you? Why don't we step into my office.
  
  SCENE 7
  
  (In Vega's new office. She and Daffyd walk in)
  
  Vega: Well, this doesn't suck!
  
  Daffyd: That eloquence will serve you nicely on the stand.
  
  Vega: Like you guys ever actually go to trial.
  
  Daffyd: You're one of us now Vega, better start wrappin' your head around it (pause) so, is Obernewtyn all excited about your first day?
  
  Vega: Alexi LOVES being involved with a corporate sell out, right-right-right- right, wrappin' my head around it.
  
  (guy wheels in a trolley full of files)
  
  Vega: You gotta be kidding me.
  
  Daffyd: Yeah, I figured you'd wanna dive right in.
  
  (Vega looks at one of the boxes)
  
  Vega: Chemical peel gone awry, fascinating, bad plast injection, noise complaint on a dig.
  
  Daffyd: scintillating.
  
  Vega: In the pure sense of the word.
  
  Daffyd: Don't be a snob.
  
  Vega: Just sort them out, right?
  
  SCENE 8
  
  (The Cave - Dr Stephen's office with Elspeth & Alexi)
  
  Dr Stephen: it says you experienced visions after falling in tainted water? Hmm...odd. The report indicates stealing carts, notation regarding some criminal activity (sighs) would attract Council attention-
  
  Alexi: It was a misdemeanor, probation.
  
  Dr Stephen: None the less, not exactly cave material.
  
  Alexi: Dr Stephen Elspeth's had a lot to overcome, but Vega and I feel that in the right environment he could really excel.
  
  Dr Stephen: There's no doubt that Ms. Gordie has extraordinary promise. I'm just concerned that she hasn't had adequate preparation for the rigors of our requirements.
  
  Alexi: Or are you concerned about the pressure from people who don't want Elspeth here?
  
  (Dr Stephen looks suprised at what Alexi said. Elspeth looks impressed)
  
  Dr Stephen: That's definitely a consideration, but not a decisive one (Alexi rolls her eyes) Alexi you know as well as I do how bright and motivated our misfits are. Those that aren't bred for working on the farm go to work for the Druid, spy for the Herders, or stay on and help us with research. I just think a place like Darthnor Orphanage might be a better fit for a misfit with Elspeth's background.
  
  Elspeth: My background? (Dr Stephen looks suprised) (sighs) I can't change where I'm from but I can change where I'm going.
  
  Dr Stephen: Elspeth, you understand that if you couldn't pick up on our er- requirements - we would lose a year, not to mention you would lose self confidence.
  
  (Elspeth scoffs)
  
  Elspeth: With all due respect Dr Stephen, if you think not letting me in is gonna inspire self confidence (sincerely) Give me a shot.
  
  Dr Stephen: You got great test scores. I definitely responded to your personal essay. Your records are... borderline...but acceptable. If you could pass talents exam...It's not an psychological test, it measures your abilities, what you've learnt not how bright you are.
  
  Elspeth: Just tell me where and when!
  
  SCENE 9
  
  The cave - Selmar at a group of tables reading, Dameon walks up.
  
  Selmar: Dameon, hey.
  
  Dameon: (smiling) Hi.
  
  Selmar: Why don't you take a seat?
  
  Dameon: (does so) It is so weird being in the cave right now, surrounded by all these people who have like...no idea.
  
  Selmar: I know...have you talked to Rushton?
  
  Dameon: I spoke to Maryon...you?
  
  Selmar: Ah, we went by this morning but he was sleeping (pause) I think he's gonna be ok though.
  
  Dameon: I still can't believe it, you know... I thought he was dead.
  
  Selmar: Me too....well hey maybe when he's feeling better we'll um, we'll take him out and try and cheer him up. Take him to a gypsy show or fishing, that kinda thing.
  
  Dameon: Yeah, I guess...
  
  Selmar: Maybe before then if you want ah, I don't know you and me could go to the Darthnor markets...or something.
  
  (off screen girls say hi to Dameon, and look weird as they see him with Selmar)
  
  Dameon: Hey, guys.
  
  (Dameon looks uncomfortable)
  
  Dameon: Look, Sel, this years all messed up, I mean Rushton's in the hospital, I'll never speak to Ariel or Freya again...you and I w-
  
  Selmar: (cuts him off) Oh yeah it's fine, we're back in Obernewtyn, now old rules apply.
  
  Dameon: (barely heard) sorry.
  
  SCENE 10
  
  Rushton's healer hall room - Louis walks in with chocca and hands it to Maryon, Rushton is asleep.
  
  Louis: The Healer put him out, huh?
  
  Maryon: Yeah, he needs t' sleep (takes a sip of chocca) and we need t' talk (gets up and moves close to the door) Look um Louis, ye an' I an' th' other lads - we need to present a united front. It's hard enough this forcing us to be in the same room together.
  
  Louis: Thanks Maryon, ye' got a great, great bed side manner.
  
  Maryon: Oh, shove off ye dirty ol' man! Focus. Sending a bird to Alexi this morning was completely inappropriate. Ye know I dinney like tha' Ellie-
  
  Louis: Elspeth.
  
  Maryon: I don't want her anywhere near Rushton. She could ruin everythin'. I see bad times ahead if those two are-
  
  (Rushton begins to stir)
  
  Louis: (whispering) Rushton said it was an accident, ok there's-there's no one to blame-
  
  (Rushton opens his eyes, and listens)
  
  Maryon: Well tha's a convenient position t' take considerin' ye're the one who's supposed to be managin' this farm with him-
  
  Louis: Oh, so now it's my fault?
  
  Maryon: Ye're the one who destroyed our farm, Louis, ye lied to us, ye stole money from all your friends. Why do ye think he took all tha' spice?
  
  Louis: (scoffs, whispers) Ye cannot honestly believe that-
  
  Maryon: Rushton's looked up to ye and defended ye like a father, an' look wha' happened...ye don't deserve to be part of our farm, our community or our revolution.
  
  (Louis looks shocked, a close up of a shocked Rushton is shown)
  
  Louis: Maryon, come on, ye cannay be-
  
  Maryon: Getting' those of us loyal away from ye is our only chance t' give them back some semblance of a life, and if ye fight me on this I'll take ye to Councilcourt and ye'll be lucky if you even get anywhere in th' highlands-
  
  Louis: Yeah well ye're gonna have to because (whispers) I am not giving up on Rushton's cause.
  
  Maryon: Ye may not have a choice. I'm goin' back t' check on Cameo an' Matty. Lud knows how this has effected them. Ye should get cleaned up, ye're a wreck.
  
  (Rushton opens his eyes, waits for Louis to leave then reaches for some parchment on a bedside table, clearly agitated)
  
  SCENE 11
  
  Elspeth's room. Elspeth is studying an old document of Marisa's and Selmar is talking to her.
  
  Selmar: It's a good thing I never thrown anything away, the questions they'll ask you about it are different but you get the idea what they want.
  
  Elspeth: Yeah, that I'm gonna fail.
  
  Selmar: Hey, no you're not gonna fail ok, you have to get in. I will not spend another year at that cave alone, ok please, thankyou. Study. (pauses) Especially though, if all it takes is a couple farm boys walking by and suddenly it's like...mmm Dameon and I we just, we just didn't happen.
  
  (Elspeth looks at her)
  
  Selmar: Sorry, you study (pause) here's the thing though Elspeth (Elspeth looks frustrated). We connected, right, we connected and it was awesome, especially the part where he kissed me, I do believe I might've ma-
  
  Elspeth: Selmar! I have two hours until I take this test, so unless you plan on attending Darthnor Orphanage wi-
  
  Selmar: Right, got it less talking more study.
  
  (bird flies through the window, letter tied to it's leg)
  
  Selmar: Don't move! I'm gonna get that, you...keep studying.
  
  (Selmar unties the note and reads the front. Her face drops)
  
  Selmar: Elspeth, it's for you.
  
  (Selmar hands the letter to Elspeth)
  
  Elspeth: (Reads it) Hey, it's from Rushton! He's upset, something with Louis, and they've all left him alone for a little while-
  
  Selmar: Wh-, what about the test?
  
  Elspeth: I'll be there I'll just have to do the best that I can.
  
  Selmar: Well, hey not to bum you out but what if that's not good enough?
  
  Elspeth: Well then... Dr Stephen is right (walking out) I'm not Cave material.
  
  (Selmar now looks frustrated)
  
  SCENE 12
  
  Rushton's healer hall room - Rushton is sitting up in bed, and Elspeth knocks, Rushton smiles when he sees her and she walks in with flowers and sits next to his bed.
  
  Elspeth: Hey
  
  Rushton: Hi!
  
  Elspeth: These are for you, uh its all I could find...I'll just uh.
  
  Rushton: I'm sorry....I was so dumb...what I did I-
  
  Elspeth: hey, don't worry-
  
  Rushton: -wasn't (sincerely) I didn't wanna hurt myself....I didn't....I just wanted to....escape.
  
  Elspeth: Yeah, I know.
  
  (Elspeth and Rushton both smile, then they hear Maryon talking to a healer and both look worried)
  
  Maryon: (outside) Excuse me dear, when ye get a chance, lunch please?
  
  Rushton: (to Elspeth) you should... (motions to hide)
  
  (Elspeth quickly runs into the bathroom, just before Maryon walks in)
  
  Maryon: Ooh, Rush ye're awake, aw, how are ye feeling? Cam sends her love-
  
  Rushton: mm (frowning) my throat hurts.
  
  Maryon: It's because they had to pump your stomach dear (sees the flowers) Where did tha' thing come from?
  
  Rushton: oh I, I don't know.
  
  Maryon: It's from her. She came here didn't she, after I told her not to, after everythin' she's done to ye-
  
  Rushton: She didn't, I, it wasn't her fault-
  
  Maryon: Rush dear, ye keep sayin' tha' but before she got here ye were happy. Plans were moving forward.
  
  Rushton: You think I was happy?
  
  Maryon: Well if ye weren't ye never told me about it.
  
  Rushton: I tried! But y-
  
  Maryon: (cuts her off) I need to talk t' Roland, the security in here is appallin'.
  
  (Maryon leaves and Elspeth comes out)
  
  Rushton: I'm sorry about that y, you know about her.
  
  Elspeth: That's ok, I should go and take this test but I'll be back first chance I get.
  
  Rushton: I don't know....with that lot-
  
  Elspeth: I'm not afraid of them, and neither should you be.
  
  Rushton: Well, I am.
  
  Elspeth: Why? They're rallying behind you. They support you.
  
  Rushton: They...I'm...I don't...
  
  Elspeth: ...you're not a misfit?
  
  (Rushton shakes his head sadly)
  
  Elspeth: ...so...why are you at Obernewtyn?
  
  SCENE 13
  
  The kitchen - Selmar is reading a book and Alexi walks in.
  
  Alexi: Did you ask Elspeth what she wants for lunch?
  
  Selmar: She doesn't want any, she's on a diet.
  
  Alexi: Why is she on a diet?
  
  Selmar: WHY is she on a diet?
  
  Alexi: Well I'm gonna ask her because I wanna see how she's doing on her-
  
  Selmar: Alexi! (grabs him as he walks past) uh she's in a state of deep-deep-deep zen like concentration right now, ok?
  
  Alexi: Well she still needs to eat.
  
  Selmar: (desperate to stop him) SHE'S NAKED! All right...she's naked, she studies in the nude it's a Kinraide thing, ok and I think that if you were to walk in on her...naked and Vega was to find out I think that suspicions might be raised. A house divided... will not stand!
  
  (knock on the door)
  
  Alexi: You and I still need to talk about your little suprise trip to Sador!
  
  Selmar: Ok, I can't wait.
  
  (Alexi opens the front door, its Louis)
  
  Alexi: Louis hi, is Rushton ok?
  
  Louis: Yeah he's-he's doing better thanks uh it's Maryon who's givin' me th' problem...is Vega comin' home for lunch?
  
  Alexi: Uh no, she-she just started a-a new job today. Why what's going on?
  
  Louis: Uh she's pressurin' me to...she wants t' take me t' Councilcourt, mebe even kick me out of the highlands all together-
  
  Alexi: Why would she do that?
  
  Louis: Well my question is, can she? She's a futureteller, ain't she? I jus' need t' ken wha' kind of shot I have at Councilcourt given what I've put everyone through...I jus' wanna know wha' she'll do.
  
  Alexi: Come on in, I'll get one of Vega's new birds.
  
  Louis: I'll jus' uh, I'll-I'll wait out here, I mean, ye ken-
  
  Alexi: Louis, we have been friends for to long to let something like this....it was just a-
  
  Louis: It was stupid, it was-it was monumentally....stupid, I'm sorry-
  
  Alexi: It's ok...I mean it's not...well, its, its ok.
  
  Louis: I mean ye an' Vega are th' only friends I have left...I definitely dinney wanna lose ye-
  
  Alexi: Ye - I mean you wont, so are you coming in or what?
  
  SCENE 14
  
  Rushton's healer hall room - Rushton is writing another letter)
  
  (Rushton hides the letter when he hears the door open)
  
  Maryon: Roland said he'd do wha' he can but I dinney ken...ye ken this is exactly why I thought staying with the Druid would be better fer ye.
  
  (Rushton looks confused)
  
  Rushton: Why?
  
  Maryon: Henry has a facility there.
  
  Rushton: Facility?
  
  Maryon: Oh well uh, there's thi' psychiatrist there, Gilbert, highly recommended, he runs an institute for young men who are troubled, gets them t' join th' armsmen, tha' lot.
  
  Rushton: You're sending me to the army?
  
  Maryon: It's a recovery centre... oh dear...I know ye dinney understand bu'...I would rather have ye hate me now then risk losin' ye again.
  
  Rushton: Does Louis know about this? Is that where he's been sent?
  
  Maryon: Nay, of course not. I think some time away from Louis an' his mess he's made of th' farm would be good fer ye to-
  
  Rushton: Well...what if I don't wanna go? My place is here.
  
  Maryon: That's for Gilbert to decide, he'll be here after lunch t' evaluate ye. Please dear jus' talk to him, let him help ye...and then we can get ye when ye're good and ready to fight for wha's-
  
  Rushton: Yeah, um if it's ok I just need to use the bathroom.
  
  Maryon: Of course.
  
  (Rushton grabs his letter and takes it with him in the bathroom. Maryon fixes Rushton's bed and throws out the flowers Elspeth gave him)
  
  SCENE 15
  
  In the stable - Selmar is sitting on a pile of hay in a loft reading when there is a knock on the loft door)
  
  Selmar: Not now Alexi, I'm studying naked!
  
  Dameon: ee~Link~
  
  Selmar: Dameon? Come in.
  
  Dameon: Ah, noo way!
  
  (Selmar opens the door)
  
  Selmar: I'm not naked.
  
  (Dameon is covering his eyes)
  
  Dameon: no-no-no-no...wait, sometimes, I'm glad I'm blind.
  
  (Dameon uncovers his eyes)
  
  Dameon: mmm 'kay, I don't get it (walking in) what kind of world do you have Selmar?
  
  Selmar: The kind where misfits all wear clothes...always...even in the shower.
  
  Dameon: hmm (walking around her room, stumbles over something. There's a whinney from the 'something'. Laughing) What...is this?
  
  Selmar: Uh a horse?
  
  Dameon: Ah huh, what's its name?
  
  Selmar: I don't know.
  
  (Dameon pats the horse)
  
  Selmar: Ok, it's Zade. What are you doing up here?
  
  (Dameon puts stops patting the horse)
  
  Dameon: Rush just sent me a letter, he's freaking out, Maryon and that lot are threatening to ship him off to the insane asylum-
  
  Selmar: Really?
  
  Dameon: Yeah, I'm serious, I've gotta do something Selmar, I need to get radical....I need Elspeth.
  
  Selmar: Well you can't have her, she's taking an abilities exam. What's wrong with me though, am I not radical enough?
  
  Dameon: Well that depends...are you ready to take on Maryon?
  
  Selmar: We need Elspeth!
  
  Dameon: Yah
  
  (they both head out)
  
  Selmar: This pile of hay is sometimes my bed.
  
  Dameon: ok.
  
  Selmar: I just wanted you to know.
  
  Dameon: Uh huh.

  SCENE 16
  
  Vega's office - Vega is writing a letter and Erin walks in.
  
  Vega: (talking to herself) It's a very fair offer given the merits of the case...ok (Erin rolls her hands at her as if to say speed it up. Vega holds up her hands to say 'I'm having a brainwave, don't annoy me)...nope, it's gone. I'll have to think it over again.
  
  Vega: Alexi does that thing with his hands when he's really p!ssed off with me.
  
  Erin: Alexi and I have a lot in common...you've been here half a day and you've booked Councilcourt dates for 5 of the 7 appeals you were assigned.
  
  Vega: Do I win the free set of steak knives?
  
  Erin: Vega, this isn't how they do things around here and I could keep this off the other druid's radar for now but you've gotta understand-
  
  Vega: Understand what? I'm going to Councilcourt, I'm takin' 'em on, I'm bringing 'em down, especially this [censored] who won't let his neighbour grow his hedges over his own fence.
  
  Erin: Look, you know how much time and energy goes into trying one of these, if you settled you could handle twice as many appeals and we're in a volume business here-
  
  Vega: ...look, I thought the whole reason you brought me here is cause you wanted a trial attourney, you know who's committed and passionate and blah blah blah-
  
  Erin: Yes and when one of these cases actually deserves to go before a jury the courtroom is all yours, but in the meantime I need you to pick up that quill and passionately negotiate some settlements (Vega laughs) Come on I put my a$s on the line to get you this gig sis, please, do it for me.
  
  SCENE 17
  
  (The cave - Elspeth is doing her test; Selmar & Dameon walk in and interrupt it)
  
  Selmar: Hey
  
  Elspeth: What're you guys doing here, Dr Stephen's gonna be back any minute?!
  
  Selmar: Yeah I know this isn't the best time but we uh Rushton needs you, right now, or us I've just-
  
  Dameon: Maryon's gone psycho, she's having him committed.
  
  (Dr Stephen walks in)
  
  Dr Stephen: WHAT is going on in here?
  
  Selmar: Hi Dr Stephen, this is not what it looks like but there's kind of an emergency-
  
  Dameon: Yeah we just need to borrow Elspeth for a little while-
  
  Selmar: (over Dameon) ...we're gonna bring her back.
  
  Dr Stephen: Elspeth is not going anywhere.
  
  (Selmar and Dameon talk at the same time)
  
  Selmar: Ok, but there's kind of an emergency-
  
  Dameon: You don't understand-
  
  Dr Stephen: You two out, out now, goodbye, goodbye.
  
  (Dr Stephen shuts the door)
  
  Elspeth: Actually, I gotta go to-
  
  Dr Stephen: Have you finished the test?
  
  Elspeth: No but I-
  
  Dr Stephen: Elspeth if this is too difficult tell me, if Alexi is pressuring you to do something you can't do-
  
  Elspeth: Its not too difficult and they're not, I wanna be here.
  
  Dr Stephen: Then prove it. Sit down finish the test.
  
  Elspeth: I can't.
  
  Dr Stephen: Elspeth if this is the level of commitment you plan to bring to your studying of the historical documents here in the cave-
  
  Elspeth: Dr Stephen I really don't have time to argue with you right now-
  
  Dr Stephen: There is no argument, you walk away from this test, you walk away from Obernewtyn.
  
  (Elspeth thinks for a second)
  
  Elspeth: You're probably right, it wouldn't of worked out anyway, sorry for wasting your time.
  
  (Elspeth leaves)
  
  (Selmar and Dameon are waiting for her outside)
  
  Elspeth: Let's go.
  
  SCENE 18
  
  Rushton's healer hall room - Rushton is sitting in a chair with his arms crossed; clearly not wanting to be there, Gilbert is asking him questions.
  
  Gilbert: So, Maryon tells me you struggled with an inferiority complex when you arrived at Obernewtyn?
  
  Rushton: Maryon's convinced it was inferiority...I was really stressed, that's all.
  
  Gilbert: And in Sutrium a couple of years ago you were caught stealing?
  
  Rushton: I was drunk.
  
  Gilbert: Do you still drink?
  
  Rushton: Not really.
  
  Gilbert: Not really...? Would you say you drink a lot?
  
  Rushton: What's a lot? For an armsman, that is?
  
  Gilbert: Have you ever had so much to drink that you blacked out (Rushton doesn't answer)? Tell me about this passed season, Louis's legal troubles, leaving the farm up to you....here's probably the last place you wanna be, right? (Rushton shrugs). Maryon mentioned another problem. Ariel.
  
  Rushton: He's not my problem anymore.
  
  Gilbert: Really? You wanna tell me what happened?
  
  Rushton: Anything I say your just gonna use against me to prove the others that I'm troubled, right, that I'm not fit to lead-
  
  Gilbert: I'm not here to judge; I'm here to listen and try to help. I think you'd do well with a couple of years in the armsman services.
  
  Rushton: You're here because Maryon would rather have me shipped off to a mental institution then have to deal with what's really going on.
  
  Gilbert: I'm here because accidentally or not, you nearly killed yourself (pause) and you wanna tell me what's actually going on? With you and your supposed-to-be allies?
  
  Rushton: (shrugs) How much time do you have?
  
  SCENE 19
  
  (Hospital corridor - Elspeth & Selmar are waiting for Dameon)
  
  Selmar: This isn't good, Dameon should have been here by now...
  
  Elspeth: He better be here soon.
  
  Selmar: Well, what if something happened? Right, I mean Rushton himself can't even get him outta here how are we supposed to be able to-
  
  Elspeth: Not by waiting for Dameon (walks over to healer). Hi we're here for Rushton.
  
  (Dameon walks up to them wearing jester outfit and carrying a gita)
  
  Dameon: Uh, its ok, they're with me.
  
  Selmar: good--lord
  
  Dameon: What? I told you I was an Empath. Empaths sing. To the sick.
  
  Selmar: I....thought you were kidding.
  
  Dameon: All the empaths do it.
  
  Selmar: I should be hospitalised more, I-
  
  Dameon: Well if you need any help!
  
  Elspeth: Ok guys (to Dameon) can you get us in the psych ward or not?
  
  Dameon: Just try to keep up with me.
  
  Elspeth: Cool, Selmar you're on lookout.
  
  Dameon: Hi Kella, I know it's my day off but I just cannot get enough of singing to sick people, these girls are gonna help me with the backup vocals-
  
  Selmar: Hmm, dibs on the alto!
  
  SCENE 20
  
  (Still at the hospital - Gilbert is talking to Louis & Maryon about Rushton)
  
  Gilbert: I'm not saying that we need to keep him on suicide watch but there are definitely some underlying issues that he hasn't been dealing with-
  
  Maryon: But ye can help him?
  
  Gilbert: I can recommend further treatment, psycho dynamic therapy, group work-
  
  Maryon: At th' encampment?
  
  Gilbert: At the encampment. or here in Obernewtyn. I can refer you-
  
  Maryon: No-no I want him t' get out of Obernewtyn, it's too chaotic fer him here right' now.
  
  Louis: He cannay leave now, he's got harvest, he's got his friends, I think uprootin' him now would do more harm than good.
  
  Maryon: He almost died, Louis, how much more harm can he do?
  
  Gilbert: Alright you decide, I need to check in with the other armsmen. Excuse me.
  
  Louis: Thank ye.
  
  Maryon: He's goin' wi' them.
  
  Louis: He's no' goin' anywhere!
  
  Maryon: Ye cannay stop it. I have forseen it-
  
  Louis: Dinney give me tha', ye use tha' excuse whenever ye want somethin' to go yer way, ye witch!
  
  Maryon: (glares) I'm goin' to go talk to Rushton.
  
  (Maryon walks out and talks to Gilbert near Rushton's door)
  
  Maryon: Excuse me, Gilber'? Louis an' I have discussed it, I've got a bag for him in th' carriage an' I can drive him down myself tonigh'.
  
  Gilbert: I'll make the arrangements.
  
  Maryon: Thank you.
  
  SCENE 21
  
  (Rushton's healer hall room - Maryon is telling Rushton about the plan to go to the encampment)
  
  Maryon: (holding Rushton's hand) I ken this may be difficult fer ye t' hear bu' Gilbert an' I think it's fer the best at th' moment-
  
  Rushton: Well what about Louis?
  
  Maryon: Louis ain't yer father, boy! He jus' wants what's best for ye too, ye ken. Now, Gilber' an' I have t' finish some paperwork so ye should get dressed, ok? (Rushton nods)
  I'm glad ye're taking this so well Rushton.
  
  Rushton: Yeah well, if it's for the best right.
  
  Maryon: Ok, get dressed. I'll be back.
  
  Rushton: Bye (he watches Maryon leave then gets out of bed just as Elspeth comes out of his bathroom)
  
  Rushton: (big smile) How'd I do?
  
  Elspeth: You almost had me convinced! Here (hands him a bag)
  
  (Rushton holds up a gypsy outfit)
  
  Elspeth: It's uh, it's Dameons idea, it's for uh, for cover-
  
  Rushton: (smirking) Sure, Dameons idea.
  
  (They both smile, Elspeth turns around so Rushton can change, but turns back for a split second)
  
  Rushton: Hey! No peeking
  
  SCENE 22
  
  (Hospital corridor - Selmar & Dameon are waiting for Elspeth & Rushton)
  
  Selmar: (sings loudly while Dameon plays a gita) Hey, ho, it's going to snow, the sky's so clean, the temperature's mean (whistles) This old bear, is going to sleep-!
  
  Dameon: Stop. Please.
  
  Selmar: What?
  
  Dameon: Don't let me even let you sing in public again.
  
  Selmar: You're a strange and mysterious man, Dameon.
  
  (They see Maryon & Gilbert walking towards them)
  
  Gilbert: The most important thing is that we make sure Rushton-
  
  (Selmar grabs Dameon and pulls him around)
  
  Dameon: Ok wait, what was that all about?
  
  Selmar: (whispers) Maryon. Gilbert.
  
  Dameon: Ok just go, and I'll run interference.
  
  (Selmar runs off, Dameon walks towards Maryon & Gilbert strumming the gita)
  
  Dameon: Good evening Maryon, how are you?
  
  Maryon: Dameon, are ye here t' see Rush?
  
  Dameon: Oh yeah, well I was just volunteering today, thought I'd stop by. How is he?
  
  Maryon: Well, he's goin' t' be fine eventually.
  
  Dameon: (to Gilbert) Are you his healer?
  
  Gilbert: I'm his therapist, now we're on our way to see him right now.
  
  Dameon: (attempts to stall) Therapist huh? Do you have a second because I keep having this dream, and well I'm in the woods trying to find this resturant but I'm totally lost, and SO hungry, see I have a reservation so I cant be late are you following?
  
  SCENE 23
  
  (Rushton's healer hall room - Rushton is dressed in the gypsy outfit, and Elspeth is with him)
  
  Elspeth: Are you ready?
  
  Rushton: Yeah (gets up off the bed).
  
  (Elspeth opens the door and Freya is standing there with flowers)
  
  Rushton: (to Freya) Go away.
  
  Freya: I just wanted to see you I'm-I'm so sorry about everything dearest-
  
  Rushton: Yeah that's what you said in Sador.
  
  Freya: That was a mistake.
  
  Rushton: No kidding.
  
  Freya: What're you doing dressed like that?
  
  (Selmar comes to the door)
  
  Selmar: (to Elspeth and Rushton) Ah hey, Maryon and that armsman are on the move-
  
  Freya: You're running away?
  
  Rushton: Look, Freya please I...
  
  (Freya backs out the door and looks both ways)
  
  Freya: Take the back door.
  
  (Selmar, Elspeth, and then Rushton all leave, leaving Freya in the doorway holding the flowers)
  
  SCENE 24
  
  (a kitchen/dining area in the Druid encampment. Alexi & Louis walk in looking for Vega, who is at a table with Daffyd and Erin)
  
  Louis: Are ye sure it's ok? I mean, I dinney wanna interrupt-
  
  Alexi: Her office said she was having 'welcome to the team' drinks with a few of his (sees it's only Daffyd and Erin) associates.
  
  Daffyd: (laughs) Can I have another one?
  
  Alexi: Hey.
  
  Vega: Mm hey-hey, wh-what are you two doing here?
  
  Alexi: I sent a bird to the office, Louis needs some legal advice (to Daffyd) I'm Alexi.
  
  Daffyd: Hi I'm Daffyd.
  
  Alexi: Oh, so this is the famous Daffyd I've heard all about. You're quite a star at the encampment, aren't you?
  
  Vega: This is Daffyd.
  
  Daffyd: I'm Daffyd...
  
  Louis: Hi so I'm-I'm uh Louis.
  
  Daffyd: Hi (shakes his hand).
  
  Alexi: So are you hunting down a spice company, doing some research..?
  
  Vega: Well, apparently, we don't go to court anymore.
  
  Daffyd: Now you say that like it's a bad thing, Alexi your lucky to be partnered to somebody so hilarious.
  
  Alexi: I am..?
  
  Louis: Ye ken what um, I'll jus; take care o' this meself, I'm gonna-I'm gonna go.
  
  Alexi: Louis.
  
  Vega: Stop by the office tomorrow morning. You're living nearby now, I believe?
  
  Louis: Ah yeah, no tomorrows, uh gonna be too late. Thanks Alexi.
  
  Alexi: I'll see you at home, when your finished work (to Daffyd) It was nice to meet you.
  
  Daffyd: Yeah.
  
  SCENE 25
  
  (Louis's apartment - he opens the door and finds Elspeth, Selmar, Dameon & Rushton there)
  
  Rushton: Hey, Louis.
  
  (Louis looks stunned)
  
  Louis: What...what're ye doin' here?
  
  Rushton: I uh.... I checked out of the healer hall.
  
  Louis: Does Maryon ken about thi'?
  
  Elspeth: We're gonna wait in the carriage.
  
  Selmar: Yeah, yeah.
  
  Dameon: Yeah, yeah.
  
  (they all leave)
  
  Louis: Ye ran away?
  
  (Rushton grins at Louis)
  
  Rushton: I didn't know what else to do.
  
  Louis: Lud damn it, Rushton!
  
  Rushton: I mean, Maryon was getting ready to drive me down to the encampment.
  
  Louis: Wha'?
  
  Rushton: Wait, you didn't know?
  
  Louis: Uh, I shoulda guessed.
  
  Rushton: Look, I don't wanna go to the Druid encampment, and I don't wanna be the farm overseer...I want everyone to be together again.
  
  Louis: I want that too ok, but I, I dinney ken if, if that's possible. Yer friends are all suing me for everything I've done Maryon kinda has me over a barrel, kiddo. Look, if I do even the slightest thing wrong I might never be allowed back into Obernewtyn, an' I dinney-I dinney ever wanna lose ye all.
  
  (Bird flies through the window. Louis goes to retrieve his letter)
  
  Rushton: Yeah...
  
  Louis: (crosses his brows) Luddamn that Futureteller, she kens ye're here! She's on her way to take ye to the encampment whether I like it or not (Rushton walks out the front door, Louis still reading letter) Says I 'mun' keep ye here...
  
  SCENE 26
  
  (Dameon, Selmar, Rushton & Elspeth are riding along a back road, eating apples.
  
  Dameon: what'd you wanna do now Rush?
  
  Rushton: I don't know what to do, I mean what can I do?
  
  Selmar: We could hide you in one of the Druid's developments (they all look at her) I'm kidding!
  
  Rushton: Mm hmm, I mean how is any of this even possible? My friends want to lock me up in an asylum while we can't even do anything about it!
  
  Selmar: It's not all of them, it's Maryon. She's a futureteller. That's what they do. Meddle, and stuff.
  
  Elspeth: Well, we'll figure something out.
  
  Dameon: (putting on voice) 'We better hurry cause he jus' escaped from a healer ward wearin' a gypsy outfit'. If they didn't think he was crazy before they- (realises what he just said) Sorry Rush. Are there any more apples?
  
  Selmar: Over here (reaches into bag)
  
  Elspeth: Well if you wanna skip town I guess I could go with you-
  
  Rushton: Maryon would love that-
  
  Elspeth: Look, if Maryon's doing all this just to keep me away from you, I'll stay away.
  
  Rushton: I don't want that (they both smile).
  
  Elspeth: So what're we gonna do?
  
  Rushton: If I could just get her to listen...
  
  SCENE 27
  
  (Alexi's study - Alexi is on the couch and Vega walks in)
  
  Vega: Hey.
  
  Alexi: Back from work?
  
  Vega: I don't understand why you're so upset, I mean I understand but its nothing, he works at the firm.
  
  Alexi: He doesn't look old enough to be served in a bar led alone a lawyer.
  
  Vega: He's 23-
  
  Alexi: What's his favourite colour?
  
  Vega: Pink....Alexi...!
  
  Alexi: Vega, I'm not saying anything's going on-
  
  Vega: Good, cause you spent the weekend painting Louis Larkin's house and I didn't say a word because I knew nothing was going on...right?
  
  Alexi: (stares balefully) He's an 80-year old man, need I remind you?
  
  Vega: So what were you two doing together tonight?
  
  Alexi: Louis's got issues with Maryon.
  
  Vega: Well I guess we're all having issues...so what're we going to do? I have to work with this guy.
  
  Alexi: I trust you.
  
  Vega: Ok...I trust you.
  
  Alexi: Ok
  
  (knock at the study door)
  
  Vega: Who's calling on you this time of night?
  
  (opens door)
  
  Elspeth: Hey it's me...us.
  
  Vega: Hey, what's going on?
  
  Elspeth: uh (Rushton walks into the room behind her) I need your advice.
  
  Vega: uh huh... well if I've learned anything today... you don't want to go to the Councilcourts with this, your going to want to settle.
  
  SCENE 28
  
  (knock at the door, Vega answers & Maryon is there)
  
  Maryon: What's goin' on?
  
  Vega: Come with me (she leads her into the study)
  
  Maryon: I dinney understand, wha' does this have to do with Rushton? Do ye ken where he (she sees Elspeth)...Well no surprise ye're involved in all thi', where is he?
  
  Elspeth: I don't know, at a station, on a tropical island somewhere.
  
  Vega: Elspeth.
  
  Maryon: I cannay believe tha' ye're chaperonin' this farce.
  
  Vega: Maryon, sit down.
  
  Maryon: No, I dinney want t' sit down-
  
  Vega: All right, lets all talk.
  
  Maryon: Talk about what-what is there t' talk about?
  
  Elspeth: Well, if you ever want to see Rushton again-
  
  Vega: (to Elspeth) Watch it! Maryon I-I-I know we've all been through a lot but-but Elspeth isn't the problem.
  
  Maryon: Wha' is that supposed to mean? (to Elspeth) Ye tell me where he is an' then I am taking him home, he just ran away from a healer hall.
  
  Elspeth: He ran away from you!... look your from Rangorn right, well that's not to far from where I grew up-
  
  Maryon: I am callin' soldierguards into this place in like two seconds-
  
  Elspeth: AND I know this place has everything we never had and I know your afraid your going to lose it all, everything you've ever wanted-
  
  Maryon: I'm done!
  
  Elspeth: But what you want, and what Rushton actually wants are two different things.
  
  Maryon: YOU! DON'T KNOW WHAT HE WANTS!
  
  Elspeth: I KNOW WHAT HE DOESNT WANT! He doesn't want to go to the encampment (Rushton appears in the background) ...and he doesn't want you parading around like you're his mother! He's a grown man!
  
  Maryon: I diney ken what I'm suppose to say to any of thi'-
  
  Rushton: Just say yes.
  
  Maryon: Oh, dear, no-no ye dinney mean that-
  
  Rushton: Yes, I do, look I know you're only trying to help, you're just making everything worse-
  
  (Maryon is crying)
  
  Maryon: Ye have no idea how scared I was!
  
  Rushton: I'm sorry...but look I'm not going to hurt myself again and I'll even still see about joining the armsmen, it looked interesting, but I want to stay here...and I want everyone to get along. I don't need you to fight battles for me-
  
  Maryon: Thi' isnay over Rushton. I'll let meself out.
  
  Elspeth: Are you ok?
  
  (Rushton kisses Elspeth on the cheek, and hugs her)
  
  SCENE 29
  
  (Obernewtyn courtyard - Selmar & Dameon are sitting by the fountain)
  
  Selmar: So, you still think that after everything that happened today when we get back to harvest and the cave studies you're going to be able to ignore me?
  
  Dameon: Well...all I can do is try.
  
  Selmar: I admire your will.
  
  Alexi: Hey.
  
  Selmar: Hey, how'd it go?
  
  Alexi: Ah... it's over.
  
  Selmar: Yeah?
  
  Alexi: Dameon you go with Rushton to his room.
  
  (Dameon smiles at Selmar, then walks away)
  
  Selmar: Bye Dameon (Dameon smiles) (to Alexi)...It's just a little thing we do.
  
  Alexi: Hmm, ok, now lets talk about that surprise trip to Sador.
  
  Selmar: It's pronounced Sah-dohr, that's how, your so white Alexi.
  
  SCENE 30
  
  (Vega & Elspeth in the kitchens)
  
  Vega: I've never heard you talk so much.
  
  Elspeth: Well I like to save it for when it counts.
  
  Vega: Good...so I heard about what happened with your tests today, or what didn't happen...your suddenly not so talkative...look I get it, Rushton needed help you were worried about him, believe me I understand. I'm worried about you.
  
  Elspeth: Uh I'm ok going to Darthnor if you want me to, it'll be a hell of a lot better then Kinraide.
  
  Vega: Go to Dr Stephen and explain yourself.
  
  Elspeth: I don't think he wants to hear from me...ever again.
  
  Vega: Oooh you're afraid of her? You went toe to toe with Maryon the dragon lady, you can take Dr Stephen. Talk to him, if there's a problem you'll have your attourney present. I got your back.
  
  SCENE 31
  
  (The caves - Vega & Selmar are waiting for Elspeth outside Dr Stephen's room)
  
  Vega: So you and Dameon seemed pretty chummy yesterday.
  
  Selmar: Chummy?
  
  Vega: It's ok, you can tell me.
  
  Selmar: No, I really, I can't.
  
  Vega: You can't tell me? Who can you tell?
  
  Selmar: Gee, I don't know uh Elspeth?
  
  Vega: You're going to miss me when I'm gone...
  
  Selmar: When're you leaving? (she playfully hits her, and Vega hits back) hey!
  
  (Elspeth & Dr Stephen walk out)
  
  Vega: What's the verdict?
  
  Dr Stephen: She passed, she did very well
  
  Selmar: Congratulations (clapping and hugs Elspeth) dude you're a pirate!
  
  Elspeth: There are pirates in here?
  
  Selmar: Yeah I know, it's a bit minty.
  
  Elspeth: Yeah.
  
  Vega: Thankyou Dr Stephen, for giving Elspeth another chance.
  
  Dr Stephen: Vega, I told Elspeth that if she EVER pulls a stunt like that again, she's going to need a much better lawyer than you to get her out of it. Welcome to the Zebkrahn project, Elspeth. I'll be watching you.
  
  Vega: (to Elspeth) You thought orphanhomes were tough...
  
  Selmar: Hey, now all you need to do is sign the security forms!
  
  Elspeth: Like anyone's going to break in here?
  
  Selmar: So cynical.
  
  (Fade out on the 3 of them walking out of the caves)

  Nope, I wrote it in because it's in the script... [img]http://s3.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif" alt=":P" border="0"/>
  This is getting pretty weird now, I look back and wish I'd made certain characters other characters...
  does anyone else want to have a go writing a Real OC?
