(In Manhattan,New York)
(Jonah Hart,Ellie Bolt,Ariana and Aaron Finley walk through the streets)
Ariana Finley:(walking through the streets)If we go on plane,it will take us 8 hours and 36 minutes to get to Oregon.Unfortunately,airplane tickets are too high and airports don't accept drachmas,so,we need an alternative.
Jonah Hart:(walking through the streets)Either on train or bus,then.
Aaron Finley:(walking through the streets)On bus will take us 3 days and 4 hours,while on train it will take us 2 days and 18 hours.I say let's go by train.
Ellie Bolt:(walking through the streets)Yeah

(Later)
Jonah:Taxi!
Ellie:Taxi!
Ariana and Aaron Finley:Taxi!
Aaron:What's wrong with Taxi drivers here?!Are they blind or something?!
Ariana:At this rate,we won't be able to get to Oregon on time.
Ellie:Oh,Lady Hera.Please,help us.
Aaron:You've got to be kidding if you think that's gonna work
Ellie:Hey!I have to try!
Aaron:Like you've tried other times before?
Aaron:I've seen you pleading on Cabin #2-Hera and let me tell you that if it didn't worked there,why would it work now?
Ellie:😤
Jonah:Guys,please,fighting between us won't solve anything.
Ariana:Jonah's right.We need to focus on getting to the train station.I suppose we'll go walking.
Ellie:But we don't even know where it is.How are we going to find it?
Jonah:💡
Jonah:💡Of course!Why didn't I through of that before?!
Ariana:What are you taking about?
Jonah:There's a tourism store a few miles from my apartment.I always pass by there on my way to school.
Jonah:Follow me

(Jonah guides Ellie,Ariana and Aaron to "P. Dora's Tourism")
Ariana:(reading the sign)Dora P's Routism
Aaron:Why is this place giving me chills?
Ellie:Come on,guys.Jonah knows the streets better than us.Is the only way to get instructions to the train station.

(Jonah,Ellie,Ariana and Aaron enter P.Dora's Tourism)
Jonah:Hello?Anyone?
Aaron:Are you sure this place is open?
Jonah:Well,the sign said "open",so it's supposed to be.

P.Dora:(voice)Hello

(Jonah,Ellie,Ariana and Aaron turn scared)
P.Dora:Sorry,I didn't mean to scare you.I'm P.Dora,welcome to my tourism store.Now,what can I help you with?
Ariana:Um,hi,we need instructions to get to the Train Station here in New York.
P.Dora:Okay,but...
Jonah:But what?
P.Dora:You seem a little young to get to a train on your own...where are your parents?
Jonah and Ariana:Um...
Aaron:(lying)We're lost...
Ellie:(lying)Yeah
Ariana:(lying)We got separated from our parents
Jonah:(lying)They told us to meet them at the Train Station if we got lost
P.Dora:Ooh dear.That's sad,but do not fear,you came to the right place.So where are you visiting New York from?
Ellie:(lying)...Texas
P.Dora:Texas.That's great.I heard it's wonderful during this time of year.
P.Dora:I remember I left a box of full of New York booklets,but I don't know where I left it.You stay here,while I look for it on the back of the store,please?
Jonah,Ellie,Ariana and Aaron:Okay...
(P.Dora leaves to the back of the store)
Aaron:(to Ellie)Texas?Seriously?
Ellie:Hey!I'm from Texas!You have a problem with that?!
Ariana:Now wonder why this place is a traveling store,it seems this woman has everything a traveler needs.Backpacks,cameras,etc.Everything for a traveler.
Aaron: ...great...Now I need to use the restroom...
Jonah:Ask Ms.Dora at the back.Is her store after all.
Aaron:I will...

(Aaron goes to the back of the store)
Aaron:Hello?...Ms.Dora?...I'm looking for the restroom...
(??? Touches Aaron's shoulder)
Aaron:(turning/scared)Woah!
(Aaron sees it's Dora P.)
Aaron:(terrified)Ma'am...no offense...but you gotta stop doing that!
Dora P:Sorry,I can't help it.I was born this way.
Aaron:It's okay,I'm just looking for the restroom.
Dora P:It's over here,Aaron.
Aaron: ...How do you know my name?
Dora P:Wait?That's really your name?...must be coincidence I figure it out...
Aaron: ...
