Mystery of love

THE TRAVELERS

(SCENE 1, ALAN'S CAR)

(ALAN and GRACE stand in front of the car, they look concerned but ALAN tries to be cool about it.)

GRACE

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ?!

ALAN

I don't know, I guess we're hitchhiking to your dads.

GRACE

Walk ?! are you serious ?

ALAN

Well it's either that or we could head home. (GRACE starts walking) Guess we're walking. By Betsy love you.

(ALAN and GRACE start walking next to the road, the sun is out ,it's hot.)

GRACE

(thinks) I miss AC but I'm not going home, no matter what. So how long do we have until the next town ?

ALAN

Uh let me see (pulls out phone) 30 miles, so it's going to be awhile.

GRACE

UGH ! why are you being so calm ?

ALAN

I'm just trying to keep a level head.

GRACE

We're in the middle of nowhere, with no form of transportation, and we're probably going to die ! (starts to hyperventilate)

ALAN

Wo wo (puts his hand on her shoulder, she relaxes) Grace, relax.

GRACE

Ok.

ALAN

Look I'm freaking out too, things seem pretty bleak but worrying isn't going to do us any good. All we can do is just keep moving forward. (GRACE breathes in and out) Relax tenderness we got each other.

GRACE

Thanks Alan.

ALAN

Yeah I got you, don't sweat. I'm sure something good will happen.

GRACE

(sees something) Like a car coming.

ALAN

Yeah. Wait what ?

GRACE

There's a van, WE'RE SAVED ! ( GRACE starts waving to get the RV intention the van pulls over. An RV looking like the mystery machine stops next to them. In the driver's seat is LIZ, a woman with short blue hair, a nose piercing, and another through her eyebrow. In the passenger's seat is SOPHIA a woman with redish orange hair, with glasses, she is fast asleep. )

LIZ

Need a lift ?

GRACE

Yes please.

LIZ

Get in.

GRACE

Come on.

ALAN

If you say so. (GRACE and ALAN get in the van. There are luggage cases in the back.)

LIZ

Just make room, it's fine. (A woman in the front wakes up.)

SOPHIA

Oh what happened.
