(Stage lights up in an underwater grotto, items all around the walls and a waterfall at the back centre)
Lizzy: so Scott has the orb thing hmm. There must be something in here that he wants. Oh what use it's just a load of junk. But mabey I could polish it up and make it seem va-
(Scott walked through the waterfall)
Scott: hello. Lizzy
Lizzy: oh umm hey Scott, what brings you here
Scott: I'm looking for something
Lizzy: well let me show you around.

Song: deal with destiny sang by: Lizzy and Scott

Feast your eyes as I share my glorious wares
They're precious antiques, they're exquisitely rare
A magical ink sack, some ancient bamboo
A dish of deliciously devilish stew
Make up your mind, what fabulous find will it be?
I don't suppose you have any glorious footwears
I've got a fishing rod, an enchanted book
An iron ingot and a tripwire hook
A handcrafted stick, and a powerful bow
A dinosaur bone and a tasty potato
Make up your mind what fabulous find will it be
I've got a deal with destiny, a bargain with fate
This business is bound to profit me
As long as that fool takes the bait
I mean, that's all very nice, it's all very well
But I've got those things at Rivendell
I'm hoping for something a little bit new
Those boots over there look like they could do
I've made up my mind, that fabulous find is for me
They're just old leather
But one man's trash is another man's treasure
They're yours
I actually meant the shinier pair
Would they be something that you're willing to spare?
You know I like diamonds, you know I love gold
And teal just suits me, or so I've been told
I've made up my mind, that fabulous find is for me
I've got a deal with destiny, a bargain with fate
This business is bound to profit me
As long as that fool takes the bait
That sounds fair, but what about me?
I'm a generous soul, but I don't give for free
Rivendell has such a lot in its coffers
Surely there's something of worth you can offer
Um, of course
I've got the oldest wood from the tallest pine
The toughest stone from the deepest mine
The purest snow from the highest peak
The softest wool from the fluffiest sheep
Make up your mind, what fabulous find will it be?
How about that robe?
Not a chance
How about the owls?
Absolutely not
That thing looks interesting
What thing?
That thing, in your hand. You've been holding it this whole time
Oh, this piece of ju- I mean, valuable treasure
Yes, that's what I want
So, do we have a deal?
Deal
(Lizzy in brackets)
I've got a deal with destiny a bargain with fate (I've got a deal with destiny)
This business is bound to profit me now that this fool's made a (and it's bound to profit me)
Deal with destiny a bargain with fate (I've got a deal with destiny)
This business is bound to profit me (and it's bound to profit me)
Now that this fool took the bait (now that this fool took the bait)

(Scott walked back through the waterfall)
Lizzy: finally the ocean orb is mine. But what do I do with it. How does it wo-
(Lizzy drops it and opaque blue smoke fills the stage)
Lizzy: wha- wha- what's happening to to me. My skin it's it's turning. Blue?! What is that. Is that a tail. GILLS
(The smoke clears and Lizzy is now a blue axolotl)

Song: deal with destiny reprise sang by: Lizzy

I've got to
Deal with destiny
I've bargained with fate
This business is bound to the prophecy
Am I the fool?
Have I just made
A mistake
(As she sings she moves her arms around and gets of water come up from the front of the stage)

(She walked through the waterfall but pushes it out of the way)
