Whispers Of The Lost Kingdom

The Land of Imagination

SCENE – 1

The day of the test came and to Jer's surprise, Tom was already hyped up to go to school and did not run late due to oversleeping.

It was just like any other normal day, wide clear sky beaming with sun with birds chirping sitting on the pole on the roadside, with refreshing morning summer breeze boosting the Mayflower children, but little did the duo know what awaits them would change their life drastically.

While Tom & Jerry acing their exams at the school Martha was shocked to see Her yesterday. She was pondering over yesterday night's incident with herbal tea that she brewed herself from her favorite garden.

"Mama, I couldn't believe my eyes! Is that you? How you have been and how's everyone back home?"

"Oh, dear child, how long has it been? 17 long years!" she exasperated with relief and yearning

"Mama, time flew by so fast both grown up to be fine adults. Though, our jer must work on her attitude. Haha" Martha shares her joy and with content 'she' replied "I hope that my gift is to their liking. I seriously hope how things are going to turn around as it's time!"

Martha smiled with hope and sighed thinking about the duo and the lost kingdom book.

"By the way, Martha I'm heard that you are not so pleased with Ray's move?"

Martha blushed hard like her rosy herbal tea and replied "It's just that he didn't inform me earlier after all this time, he decided to visit.... I know that he would never misjudge still I just worried whether it's just kinds early for our Tom & Jer!

On that note, 'she' disappears with swoosh and Martha out of her motherly affection wants to look after the precious children.

Presently, "Even my herbal tea can't sooth me down. Both are carefree in playing their amusing games. Oh Ray, you're soon going to pay me, you'll see!"

Afar from the conservative settings of cities, wide clear skies, greeneries, a man stands enjoying the shimmering waves of sea that touches his feet ever so admiringly for his status or for his looks. He sneezes suddenly saying "Hahaha, I presume Martha is scolding me again!"

As he walks off the shore, his soft yet majestic footprints get disappeared as if to erase any trace of him to be located at the seashore.

"I couldn't help but feel excited to mess with those children. I'm waiting for you ZERO ONE ONE & ZERO SEVEN!" and he too vanishes out of nowhere.

SCENE – 2

After a week, back at school

"Phew Tom, we are finally done with the boring exam seasons!"

"Yeh but eat sand as you witness my classmates and I going on vacation to the land of imagination."

"You bastard, starting to annoy me soon after the exams but that will you be the one who's gonna eat sand. I aced every. Single. subject. this time as well"

"So did I"

Their chit – chats were interrupted with the announcements from Mayflower principal.

"Good evening, dear Mayflowers!

I hope you all have been waiting for your results tomorrow but what If I say that I'm going to announce the winners of the imaginary island now."

No one bats any eye towards the announcement as it is already clear who will be the winners based on the long past records.

Though the principal gets disheartened with the students' raction he announces it enthusiastically "Both Class11B & D, congratulations!"

"Seems we both won Tommy!"

"Such a drag to even spend my vacations with you!"

"Hmph!"

"Oh my, what a scenery...losers tend to dream a lot these days! Even without your poor ass effort, I would have entered the land using my family's power JERRR!" says Katy carrying an arrogant air standing Infront of the duo at distance.

"Aw Katy!" Katy turns to be completely shocked seeing Jerry up close

"What the – when did you even move?"

"Ah, our poor katy is blind too! I don't give a shit about you or your status. You need not have to come after all or else I'll make sure to make it as Katy's special party!"

"ExCUse ME?! I won't be coming even if you beg me anyway! Who will ride the shitty school bus with bunch of crackheads and idiots like you!" Katy replied.

Even before Jerry gonna give a blow, Tom interrupted saying "Katy, our buses are already full, no seat is left for people who are lower than crackheads at school. So if you would excuse us!"

She's Katy was fuming in red with humiliation and anger, she decided upon the kind of revenege she's gonna revoke on the vacation.

Tom and Jerry came so happily to the orphanage..

"Hey, Tommy! Freshen up and meet me in the library!" Jerry called out with excitement.

Tom, with a smirk on his face, replied, "What, planning to do some salsa dancing?" He teased her, enjoying the banter.

Jerry shot back, "Even if I did, it wouldn't be for you, you crackhead!"

Hearing her comeback, Tom swiftly pinned her against the nearby wall, his voice dropping to a husky whisper. "Careful with your words, little miss. Don't stir up emotions you might not be ready to handle. I'm not a kid anymore, you know—I've become a handsome man, just for you. Your beauty is already driving me wild. Don't push me to become a beast for you."

With that, he released her and walked away to his dorm, leaving Jerry blushing like a ripe tomato, frozen in place. She wasn't prepared to face this side of Tom—at least, not yet. Without wasting another moment, she hurried off to her dorm as well, her mind racing.

On the other side of the door, Tom, now back in his room, glanced at his reflection in the mirror. His face was flushed too, a deep blush spreading across his cheeks. "I've told you countless times, Tommy, control your emotions. But now that she knows how I feel... it's like a weight has been lifted. Jer, you're driving me wild—what have you done to my poor heart, babygirl?"

Unbeknownst to them, their little exchange was observed by someone through a glass near the lotus pond. The observer murmured, "Early romance can be dangerous for a woman's heart. Poor Jerry, she'll have to face that romantic side of Tom in the days to come. But don't worry, sweethearts—once you're involved with me, I'll make sure you understand your true feelings and turn you into the reddest tomato of all."

Just then, Martha appeared, catching a glimpse in the mirror. "Look who's talking—the one who's terrible at romance!" she quipped, before walking away with a smirk.

"Jealous birdy," the man muttered before vanishing, leaving only the sound of Martha's fading laughter in the air.
