Scene 1
Tarragon seems to
Back to his usual
Self. This is 2
Days later. He's stalling
On finding a partner

Sage: (Worried) Tarragon, we need to talk.

Tarragon: (Fake smile) What about?

Sage:...We're worried about you Tarragon...(Sighs) Are you alright?

Tarragon: (Clenches his fist) Of course...I'm alright...why wouldn't I be...

Sage:...Aren't you sad Mandrake...died?

Tarragon: (Fake smile) There's nothing...I could've done to save her...(Tears start rolling down her face) But...I wish I was gone instead...

Sage: Tarragon...

Tarragon: (Crying) She...was really kind...you know...(Tries to wipe his tears away, but he cries uncontrollably) She....wanted to be partner...she wanted to be by my side...while everyone else just pushed me away...(Gives up, and shouts out crying) I MISS HER! I WANT TO SEE MANDRAKE AGAIN! I WISH SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO!

Sage: (Pats him to the shoulder)...

(Meanwhile with Turmeric)

Turmeric: (Minding her own business)

Thistle/Safflower/Caraway/Mandrake: TURMERIC!

Turmeric: (Jumps back) Wah! You guys do realize you guys are ghost right?

Thistle: Besides the point. Do you know where Tarragon is?

Turmeric: Tarragon?

Safflower: This is really important!

Mandrake: (Politely) I'm sorry Turmeric, please?

Turmeric: Calm down...I think I know where he is...what's the rush?

(Back with Tarragon and Sage)

Tarragon: (Takes a deep breath) Mandrake...was the love of life...what do I do now?

Sage:...After Thistle died...my heart wanted to close off...I was scared that I'd lose someone again...but Turmeric came into my life and slowly my heart's been opening again...I was Thistle's hero...but now, I'm Turmeric's knight. (Stands up and pats Tarragon on the head) The world moves on...even if you don't...

Mandrake: (A voice behind Tarragon) So you need to move with the world...or you'll get left behind.

Tarragon: (Turns around) Man...drake?

Cocoa/Foxglove: (Appear behind them instead of Mandrake) That's how life works.

Tarragon: Who...are you guys?

Cocoa: (Smiles) I'm Cocoa! Nutmeg found me earlier...

Foxglove: (Nods) I'm Foxglove. Carob's my sparring partner.

Tarragon: What...do you want with me then?

Cocoa: (Smiling) Weeellll! You seem very nice! (Does a backflip) I want a partner like you, who doesn't care about looks.

Tarragon: Why?

Cocoa: I'm a shiny...that means...no matter what...everyone only wants you for your looks...no one cares about me...other than my shiny coat...

Foxglove:...I think you're pretty cool Tarragon. I wouldn't mind being partnered with you.

Sage: Well Tarragon, you gotta choose.

Tarragon: (Nods) Okay...
