Scene 1
Tarragon and Mandrake
Are sitting in the meadow
When Carob comes up to
Them.

Carob: Tarragon! Mandrake!

Tarragon: Carob? What is it?

Carob: (Stops in front of them) We just got word that our next battle is against Frank and Sly...we need to start training up and I want you two to take em' on.

Tarragon/Mandrake: US?!

Carob: (Nods) Nutmeg and I can't do anythin' against them. She's weak to psychic types and fightin' types hit me like a small truck. Sage and Turmeric have really bad defense...

Mandrake: (Nods) I see...

Carob: Please, I'm beggin' you two! You guys are the only ones with any decent defense around here!

Tarragon:...(Gives a determined smile) We'll do it! Just give us some time to prepare.

Carob: (His eyes lighten up) Thanks a million! I need to go finish up my training. Bye! (Runs off)

Tarragon/Mandrake: Bye...

Tarragon: I guess we need to get started then huh?

Mandrake: (Nods) Let's do our best! (They fist pump and then walk into the tall grass)

Scene 2
Mandrake and Tarragon
Are looking ahead when
Turmeric and Sage
Walk up to them.

Turmeric: Hey Mandrake, can I talk to you for a second? (Pulls Mandrake away)

Mandrake: Huh- Wait a-

Tarragon: (Confused) What are you-

Sage: Tarragon, can we chat for a moment? (Stops him from going after them)

Tarragon: (Confused, but nods) Un...

Sage: (Worried) Hey...Are you scared...that you're going to lose Mandrake?

Tarragon: (Surprised) W-Where is this coming from?

Sage: I need to know, Tarragon...you are always helping me...I worried that Mandrake might...disappear on you...

Tarragon: (Clenches his fist) I-It'll be okay...

(With Mandrake)

Mandrake: (Worried) It'll be fine...

Tarragon/Mandrake: I'll be protecting them.

(With Tarragon)

Tarragon: (Smiles) Okay. MANDRAKE! Let's get going!

Mandrake: (Nods) Right!

(The battle begins)

Tarragon: We should gang up on that Machoke first, right?

Mandrake: (Nods) Yeah...(They both use return, Machoke dodges the first return, but is hit by the second one)

Machoke: Tch...you guys are a real bother aren't you...(Uses low kick on Tarragon)

Tarragon: !

Mandrake: (Stands in front of Tarragon taking the blow, her hp reaches 1)...

Tarragon: Man...drake?

(Flashback to when Mandrake was talking with Turmeric)

Turmeric: Mandrake...what would you do if...Tarragon died?

Mandrake: I wouldn't...want to live anymore that's for sure...

Turmeric:...but what if you died?

Mandrake: (Smiles) That's alright...

Turmeric: (Slightly distraut) W-What are you talking about?

Mandrake: (Touches her heart) Tarragon has given me...many things...all my life, I've been scared of what other people thought, but when I'm with him...all that doesn't matter. If I'm gone, someone else can feel that, but if he's gone...no one can feel that ever again...

Turmeric: (Saddened) Mandrake...

Mandrake: (Pounds her chest, crying slightly) I-I-I'm just a throw away life after all. No one would miss me if I was gone.

Turmeric: (Worried) Mandrake, you know that's not true-

Mandrake: (Smiles) It'll be fine...(wipes away her tear) I'll protect him!

Turmeric:...but then...who'll protect you...

(Back to the fight)

Tarragon: (Nudging Mandraje) H-H-Hey...Mandrake...I have a berry...eat it and we can go back...right...(Tries to give Mandrake his Berry)

Mandrake: (Stops him and shakes her head) I'm...not going...to take it.

Tarragon: (Starts crying) But if you don't you'll-

Mandrake: (Smile) That doesn't matter...as long as you're happy...I will always be alive.

Tarragon: (Clutches Mandrake's hand) But...without...you...I...I...

Mandrake: (Surprised, starts crying) Tarra...gon?

Tarragon: (Cries out) Without you I'm nothing! You're my other half! You're the one who showed me love! Your the one...who...didn't just walk past me...why would I be happy if you're gone...

Mandrake: (Crying) But with me here-

Tarragon: (Hugs her) I DONT CARE! No one else matters! I only want to be with you!

Mandrake: (Crying) I'm...sorry...(her hand, that was once hugging Tarragon back, is now cold and fallen to the ground)

Tarragon: Mandrake...NO! NOOOO!!!

Sage: (Jumps into the battle) There's no time Tarragon! We need to take out that Machoke!

Tarragon: Machoke...who cares about Machoke...

Sage: Tarragon?

Tarragon:...Mandrake...
