Scene 1
Sage is sitting on
The edge of a random
Cliff, his face full
Of melancholy.

Sage: (Looks out into the sunset and sighs)...

Tarragon: (Walks up behind Sage) Hey. (Sits next to him) You alright bro?

Sage: Yeah...I'm just...a little shaken up...

(Cuts to a flashback)

Furfou: (Uses headbutt on Safflower)

Safflower: (Gets knocked back and falls to the ground)

Sage: Safflower? Hey, Safflower? (Hops up to Safflower and nudges her slightly) G-Get up...this isn't the time for a nap...

Safflower: (Looks up at Sage) Sage...Thank you...for staying...with someone like me...

Sage: (Starts crying) Safflower, please don't joke with me...Y-You can't you have to-

Safflower: (Smiles) I love you...I'm sorry...for being a burden...(The light fades from her eyes)

Sage: (Distraught) Safflower....SAFFLOWER!!!!

(It fades white back to Tarragon and Sage)

Sage: (Looking down) First Caraway...now Safflower...(Starts crying) I couldn't... (Slams his fist to the ground) I DIDN'T PROTECT THEM! IT'S ALL- It's all my fault...

Tarragon: (Pats Sage on the back) It wasn't your fault. There was no way, you could've saved her. You'll find a new partner soon.

Sage: (Looks at Tarragon) Why...are you so nice to me...IF I HAD JUST PROTECTED SAFFLOWER YOU COULD'VE FINALLY-

Tarragon: (Smiles) It's alright. If I was meant to have a partner at this point in time, I would've found her. I'm okay with being alone for now. (Nods his head over at Thistle who was listening in the bushes) Go on, she's waiting for you.

Sage: (Wipes his tears away) Thanks...Tarragon...(Starts to walk away)

Tarragon: (Closes his eyes) Anytime Sage.

(The ghosts of Safflower and Caraway appear, watching over Sage and smiling)
