*Csarl exits the stage

*Curtains open

Setting: In an ordinary school hallway

*Ashaka and Feldin enter from right side of the stage

Feldin: Well, that was the women’s locker room

Ashaka: That’s very nice, Feldin, but I need to meet this Shadow person

Feldin: Okay, right after I show you all the women’s bathrooms

*Ashaka stands firm, crosses her arms and pouts

Feldin: Oh, all right. God, you’re not as fun as I remembered

*Ashaka walks to Feldin

Ashaka: Well, last you remember we were kids

Feldin: How is now any different?

*Church bell rings

Feldin: Oh! It’s lunchtime! My favorite subject!

Ashaka: I really need to meet this Shadow!

Feldin: Weell, where did he say you should meet him?

Ashaka: In the prefect’s office

Feldin: Then let’s go! I know a shortcut!

*Ashaka and Feldin run off the stage

*Props and background move off the stage, as next setting appears

Setting: In the prefect’s office. “Shadow” sits behind a desk. Shadow is covered by a thin white sheet of paper. Only his silhouette is visible to the audience.

*Ashaka and Feldin enter

Ashaka: Good morning, Sir Shadow

Feldin: Good morning Shad—(gasp)

Ashaka: Hush, Feldin!

*Awkward pause

*Feldin sits on a chair

Shadow: Ashaka, I have been expecting you.

*Ashaka nods

Shadow: I hear you are exceptionally gifted in magic?

Ashaka: Well, I have experience, but for the gifted part—

Shadow: Do something for me

Feldin: Ashaka, I don’t think you should –

Shadow: Ashaka! I’m waiting!

Feldin: ASHAKA! Don’t!

*Ashaka waves a finger at Feldin

Ahsaka: Try to tell me what I shouldn't do
You should know by now,
I won't listen to you
Walk around with my hands up in the air
Cause I don't care

Cause I'm alright, I'm fine

Just freak out, let it go


*Ashaka waves hands angrily

I'm gonna live my life
I can't ever run and hide
I won't compromise


*Ashaka calms down

Ashaka: Cause I'll never know
I'm gonna close my eyes
I can't watch the time go by
I won't keep it inside


*Ashaka points at Shadow’s desk and it disappears into the ground

Ashaka: Freak out, let it go
Just freak out, let it go


*Feldin jumps up as the bench disappears into the floor

Ashaka: You don't always have to do everything right
Stand up for yourself
And put up a fight
walk around with your hands up in the air
Like you don't care


*Ashaka faces audience and streams of smoke erupt

Ashaka: Cause I'm alright, I'm fine


*A broom pops up from under the stage and Ashaka catches it

Ashaka: Just freak out, let it go

*Ashaka treats the broom like a guitar and strums

Ashaka: I'm gonna live my life
I can't ever run and hide
I won't compromise
Cause I'll never know
I'm gonna close my eyes
I can't watch the time go by
I won't keep it inside
Freak out, let it go


*Shadow stands up

Shadow: Congratulations, Ashaka, you may start tomorrow!

*Ashaka shakes Shadow’s hand

Ashaka: Feldin, please come with me tomorrow! I’m so exited!

*Feldin nods

Feldin: But I have a bad feeling about this

*Feldin exits the stage

Ashaka: Aren’t you happy for me, Feldin?

*Ashaka walks near the edge of the stage joyously as the curtains close

*Csarl walks onto the stage and meets Ashaka

Ashaka: Csarl!

Csarl: Ashaka! There you are! How’d the interview go?

Ashaka: I got the job! I start tomorrow! Feldin’s gonna see me to the school tomorrow!

Csarl: Good for you

Ashaka: Csarl…

Csarl: Yes, Ashaka?

Ashaka: Thanks so much for coming with me; you’re such a good friend

*Ashaka looks up

*All the lights dim, except for a spotlight focusing on the two

Ashaka: Oh my! It’s late! I’ve gotta go! Bye Csarl!

*Ashaka hugs Csarl then runs off the stage

Csarl: Heh… a good friend… is that all I’ll ever be?

*Curtains open, revealing a new scene

Setting: the village at night

*Csarl walks around the village

Csarl: I'll be your dream,
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope,
I'll be your love
be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath
truly madly deeply do..
I will be strong I will be faithful
cause I'm counting on
A new beginning.
A reason for living.


*Ashaka’s face appears in the night sky

Csarl: A deeper meaning

*Csarl’s face appears next to Ashaka’s face

Csarl: I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever.
Until the sky falls down on me


*Csarl walks towards the fountain and gestures to the sky

Csarl: And when the stars are shining
brightly in the velvet sky


*Csarl finds the boquet of yellow bells on the floor and picks it up

Csarl: I'll make a wish send it to heaven
then make you want to cry..
the tears of joy for all the pleasure
and the certainty


*Csarl wipes a tear from his face

Csarl: That we're surrounded by the comfort
and protection of..
the highest power.
In lonely hours.
The tears devour you


*Csarl throws the bouquet into the fountain

Csarl: I want to stand with you on a mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me


*Csarl walks around the village

*As the two faces in the sky disappear, a window lights up, showing Ashaka inside reading a book

*Csarl stands outside the window, Ashaka doesn’t notice him

Csarl: Oh can't you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
Cause it's standing right before you.
All that you need will surely come...


*Ashaka puts the book down, drowsily closes the curtains of the window and lays on her bed

*Csarl slowly walks across the street

Csarl: I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
be everything that you need.
I'll love you more with every breath
truly madly deeply do


*Csarl stands in front of his house

Csarl: I want to stand with you on a mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me


Csarl appears on the roof of his house

Csarl: I want to stand with you on a mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me


*Csarl bows his head down

The lights dim and the curtains close
The scene starts when Feldin shows Ashaka around the school then to "Shadow"'s office...

Shadow saya that Ashaka must cast a simple spell before she gets the job

Feldin tries to stop her, and Shadow urges her to cast

Ashaka, confused, casts a spell anyway. She makes Shadow's desk disappear and one of his benches

Shadow is impressed by Ashaka's magical talents and gives her the job

Ashaka, joyous, rushes to tell Csarl the good news and thanks him for being such a good friend

Csarl, saddened, goes to his house in the village and stands on the roof and emotes

I used the song "Freak out" by Avril lavigne

and the song "Truly, Madly, Deeply" By Savage Garden
