Written as part of In-school Program

Scene 1
INT: House.

Narrator: Claire packs her stuff to get ready to go to Mount Fuji.

Claire: I think that’s everything? Oh wait, I need my glasses.

Narrator: Claire gets her glasses.

Claire: I can’t wait to hike, ski and see the views. Okay time to leave. All right
Mary, let’s go.

Narrator: Mary the deer gets up and follows Claire out of the house.

 

Scene 2
EXT: Forest.

Sound effects: Walking, deer trotting, river in the distance.

Narrator: Claire and Mary walk into the blossom tree forest nearby. They
find a river blocking their way. The MOST wicked river. Mary bows down,
signalling for Claire to sit on her back. Claire sits on Mary and they ride
through the river.

Claire: Great. Okay, let’s keep going. Whoa, haha.

 

Scene 3

Narrator: Claire and Mary keep riding through the forest until they find it.

Claire: YES! WE’RE HERE!

Guardian: Stop!

Claire: Huh? What?

Guardian: Go away! Please just leave!

Claire: Why should I?

Guardian, crying: GO AWAY NOW!

Claire: What’s wrong?

Guardian, mumbling: It’s gone…

Claire: What? Speak up!

Guardian: It’s gone! It’s all gone!!

Claire: What’s all gone??

Guardian: My family and our secret treasure… THE LAST BONSAI!

Claire: Don’t worry, we’ll find it!

 

Scene 4

(A few moments of stupidity later.)

Claire: Wait, how are we going to get there…?

Guardian: You know what? Here!

Sound effect: POOF

Narrator: So basically they get teleported to the last known location of the last bonsai.

Claire: W-what, where is it?

Narrator: It was missing!

Sound effect: DUN DUN DUNNNN

Claire: But she said it would be here!

Narrator: Some glass sparkles in the evening. Mary walks over to the glass, sniffs it and runs behind Claire.

Claire: What’s wrong?

Narrator: Claire picks up the glass slowly and examines it.

Claire: AH. Oh deer, It’s at the FBI palace in England!

Sound effect: POOF

Narrator: The Guardian can hear you Claire! Sheesh anyway, um okay so the Guardian teleported Claire and Mary to the front gates of the FBI palace in England.

Claire: Mmm, over there! The last bonsai!

Narrator: They sneak in and grab the bonsai tree and expect to be teleported again… and she guessed right!

Sound effect: POOF

(They are back in the forest.)

Guardian: Fair Claire! There you are, give me the bonsai!

Narrator: The Guardian grabs some snow and cool leaves and a pinch of Mary’s fur and throws it all together into a pot and throws the bonsai in too.

The pot glows and shakes and spits out the Guardian’s family!

Tiny Joe: I thought we were never getting out! Thank you, fair Claire!

Narrator: As they head home with heartwarming memories and joy in their body their trip must come to an end. After a goodbye of course.

Claire: Bye! It was so fun meeting you.

Narrator: Mary bows a goodbye, followed by Claire.

Guardian’s Family: Bye! We loved meeting you!

Guardian: Thank you! I’m blessed to have my family back, bye!

Narrator: And for every trip that starts it must also come to an end. They venture back home to tell their tale of the last bonsai. They left for an adventure but came back with new friends and eyes shining bright.
