Through the Forrest

Act 2 Scene 7

Scene: 7

The Kingdom of Elphindia

Dean: Wow, this place has changed so much since I was last here......

Elf Guards: Halt trespasser!!!!!!!!!!

Dean: Wait! What? No! I'm only here to--- Hey! Stop! Evelyn---------!

(at the castle dungeon)

Dean: Great! You try to do something nice for the one person you love and you end up in her parents' kingdoms' dungeon! (clapping his hands) Congrats, Dean! You've really done it this time!

(Elf General, and other notable guards walk in)

Elf General: Get up trespasser, it's time for your trial with the royal family.

Dean: (he says sarcastically and rolling his eyes) Fun!

(The scene shifts to inside the Royal Court Room)

Kythaela: Enter!

(They enter in and Dean is surprised and angry to see the Pryder and Evelyn close together and snuggling)

Evelyn: The shop worker! What are you doing here? And in chains...

Dean: I was caught "trespassing," but I was only trying to bring you back this.

All: (gasping) He stole it!

Dean: No wait I can...

Evelyn: But he seems so nice!

Pryder: Don't be fooled, my love. He stole the most important piece of our kingdom!

Evelyn: But maybe-

Pryder: Execute him!

(The Elf Guards charge Dean and begin to drag him away)

Dean: Wait! This is just one big misunderstanding! I can explain! Evelyn!

Elf General: Don't worry, my queen. No such treason will come to this kingdom ever again.

Evelyn: Mom, I don't really think-

Kythaela: Hush darling. Everything will be alright, I know you must be so upset that a once good friend betrayed you again.

Evelyn: Once good friend?

Kythaela: You don't recognize him?

Evelyn: Wait you don't mean-

Kythaela: Dean. Even after all these he still looks handsome, but that doesn't excuse his betrayal and treason.

Evelyn: I can't believe I let this happen. Dean!

Kythaela: You don't think you're going back with him, do you?

Evelyn: I... uh... (to guards) Hold it! Stop everything!

(The guards stop)

Elf General: What is it, princess?

Evelyn: He doesn't deserve to die. I lost that pendant in the woods when I buried Redmond and when I realized it and went back to retrieve it, I couldn't find it anywhere.

Dean: I followed you into the forest to try and stop you, but instead of finding you, I found the pendant and kept it. I forgot all about it until Sedgewick found it today.
