Scene #1 Episode #14

Damon:
"Well I'm going to get some pears to eat. How many do you want?"

Alexandra:
"None for me."

He left. Alexandra was lost in her thoughts

James:
"Ahem!"

Alexandra:
"James! H-hey-What's up?"

James:
"Why are you stammering? You only stutter when you're nervous."

Alexandra:
"Why do you hate Damon?"

James:
"I don't hate him, I just don't see why you like him. He almost got you killed multiple times."

Alexandra:
"But you the one who literally shot m-

James:
"ZIP! We don't talk about that. Man, people really hang onto one thing don't they? I just don't see why you chose him."

Alexandra:
"Well, he's the sweetest, most amazing person I've ever met. He makes me feel safe and loved."

James had a disgusted face

James's thoughts voiceover:
"Gross."

James:
"You really like him...don't you?"

She nodded

James:
"Awww...that just makes me hate him even more."
James said smiling.

Alexandra:
"But right now I hate him."

James:
"Never been so proud little sister."

He took a big chop out of his pear

Alexandra:
"By the way...what did happen to you? How'd you end up here?"

James:
"Some things just need to stay in the past. I've spent the last seven years here and it's really not something to talk about."

Damon:
"Hey! I got you some pears Alex."

Alexandra:
"Thanks Damon."

They were both stuffing their faces with pears.

Alexandra:
"You know, it's getting boring so what if we make weapons?"

James:
"With what?"

Alexandra:
"There are some branches and rocks, we could make spears."

Damon:
"You're just bored."

Alexandra:
"Yeah..."

Damon:
"Alright, I'll get you some sticks and you can make your spears."

Alexandra:
"Thanks."

Damon got up and collected some sticks and sharp rocks. He handed them to her. She started using the rocks to sharpen the sticks

Alexandra:
"So, what are we going to do about the invisible mattress?"

James:
"You're so bored you'll ask about a mattress?"

Alexandra shrugged, they had a few more moments of silence.

Alexandra:
"Oh my gosh this silence is killing me! Someone please say something!"

James:
"We can talk about you and Damon."

Damon:
"I choose silence."

Alexandra:
"Excuse me?"

Damon:
"Again I say, I choose silence."

James:
"Are you and Damon a couple or not?"

Alexandra started choking on the pear she was eating.
