-Episode 4-
(Up in the forest.. Ved, Bray and Zoe are half way up the hill.. from where they're standing there's not much to look at other than trees and more trees.. and it's not long before Ved starts complaining)
VED: How much further?
ZOE: Miles and miles .. (she teases)
VED: I'm not used to this...
BRAY: Do you ever shut up? ... No sorry, I forgot.. this really isn't your thing.. Your used to jumping from planes and riding around in trucks.. (Bray mocks)
VED: Shame there's no plane when I need one
ZOE: Quit complaining Ved, you'll just have to make do with your feet.. that's what they're there for.
......................................................................................
(Meanwhile on the boat.. the gang wait anxiously as they seem to be closing in on dry land.. it's not much of a view.. Only a muddy hillside and a dark forest lay ahead.. but SOMEWHERE.. was better than NOWHERE!.. The gang had agreed that once they were off the boat they'd make food and shelter their first priority.. They still had a few snacks left but they'd rather be stocked up than run out and have to go searching for food on an empty stomach.. Everyone gathers their belongings as they come to a halt)
SALENE: Clean air.. at last
(Salene was feeling good.. she was glad she could breath in fresh air.. instead of the smelly fuels of the boats engine)
SALENE: This is the life.. and we're free to do whatever we want.. no chosen.. no techno's...
EBONY: (Interrupting she continues Salene's fantasy).. No home.. no beds.. no food... Great.. (Ebony was good at stamping peoples hopes into the ground)
SALENE: Whatever.. this will be great
EBONY: Oh sure.. We're in paradise.. (Ebony replies with a rather unimpressed tone)
SALENE: No.. But we could make it just as good
AMBER: Okay guys... into the hills.. and try to stick together..
LEX: If you lose us.. Your on your own... that goes for everyone
AMBER: These woods don't look too friendly
GEL: They look scary
SAMMY: (Putting his arm around Gel's waist).. Don't worry Gel.. You've got me to protect you
(Gel quickly moves Sammy's arm off her.. and looks at him in disgust)
GEL: Eww.. get away from me
(Lex laughs at Gel's discomfort)
RUBY: Gel.. would you knock it off... he's only trying to be nice
GEL: It wasn't YOU he touched
RUBY: He hasn't got a disease .. you know
GEL: How do I know that?
(Sammy feels hurt by Gels comment and turns and runs away)
TRUDY:(Angry) Oh.. Nice one Gel...
EBONY: (Closing in on Gel).. You brainless IDIOT
AMBER: Look what you've done
JAY: Don't worry.. Lex and I will go get him.. He can't have gone far
(Jay and Lex turn to start walking in the direction that Sammy ran... But Amber pulls on their arms)
AMBER: No Jay.. Like Lex said.. We can't afford to split up.. If we lose you guys.. we might not find you again
(Amber didn't like having to make that decision.. but she knew they couldn't afford to lose Jay and Lex.. they'd be useful if they needed some muscle... And losing Sammy they could afford... but Lex and Jay were a different matter)
MAY: Sammy heard the warning.. he's on his own now
LOTTIE: I think Gel should have to go look for him.. it's her fault he ran away anyway...
EBONY: Yeah.. And if she doesn't come back.. Well.. it's not a huge loss.. She's hardly any use to us.. she can't fight and she's also dumb
JAY: That's enough.. No one else is leaving the pack.. We need to stick together.. Now come on
(The gang make a start up the steep hill.. little be known to them that Bray, Ved and Zoe were only at the other side.. Oddly Ram bursts into song.. AGAIN)
RAM: We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz
(The girls start to laugh)
JAY: I thought we made it clear last time that you can't sing
RAM: I'm still gonna.. (Ram says defiantly)
LEX: and .. I'm going to scout ahead
AMBER: No... Lex
(But before she could say anything else.. Lex had already ran ahead.. at the top of the hill he looks down on the other side.. he recognises someone and starts to run towards them)
LEX: ..Now you little creep ..(he shouts)
(Instinct makes Ved turn and point his wrist laser... Bray and Zoe also turn with a start.. Zoe see's Lex in the distance and then turns her attention to Ved)
ZOE: Ved no..
(Ved lowers his arm slightly..... and Bray looks up.. he see's Lex.. Lex stops running and cautiously steps forward.. he barely notices Bray as he has only one thing on his mind.. and that's to teach Ved a REAL lesson)
LEX: (Speaking to Ved) .. Go on then
VED: Don't push me Lex...
(Ved notices the other mall rats who have reached the top of the hill)
VED: Brought your little army this time?
LEX: I don't need them to finish you off..
(Lex makes a beeline for Ved and Ved raises his arm quickly, pointing his laser at Lex)
BRAY: (Grabbing Ved's arm).. NOT a good idea .. (He says lowering Ved's arm)
(Zoe takes Ved's wrist laser and pockets it.. whilst Lex and Bray share a MAN moment)
LEX: Good to see you pal..
BRAY: You too .. how's things..
(Just then Bray catches a glimpse of Amber and the others.. The MAN moment is quickley brought to a halt as he stands staring at Amber, and he notices Salene taking hold of the baby Amber had just been carrying... HIS baby)
LEX: Bray? ..
(Lex follows Bray's gaze and finally realises what he's staring at..... As Bray looks adoringly at his son from the distance, Jay notices Ved and comes running down the hill at speed and almost tumbling over)
JAY: Ved!
(Trudy, Salene, Ebony, Jack, May and Ellie are shocked to see Bray.. but pleased to see he's alive and looking well.. Gel on the other hand feels an instant attraction to Bray)
BRAY: Amber.. (he mumbles)
(It wasn't until she'd reached the bottom of the hill that Amber recognised Bray.. the others were still speechless and stood in silence.. Amber holds her gaze on Bray for a moment before speaking)
AMBER: BRAY.. (she cries happily and throws herself into his arms.. tears of happiness streaming down her face)
(At that moment nothing else mattered.. Amber was where she'd wanted to be for so long.. back in the arms of her one true love.... Whilst Jay looked on feeling a little awkward and insecure as he watched the couple embracing each other.. he felt his grip on Amber slipping away)
