Everyone ready to look for the rest of the gang?
Mike: Smell...smell too much...
Peter: It's so hot here...
Micky: Ready.
Davy: I'm ready, too.
(We open in the bordello. Lauren lays on the bed, unconscious. Sheila and Alex enter. Alex is grinning.)
Sheila: Yes, Alex, you can have her. Just don't hurt her too badly. Remember, she's pregnant, and we need her to tell us where my sister is in the car. Sister dearest isn't talking.
Alex: Good. It's been a while.
Sheila: Zelda's watching those (shudders) brats, right?
Alex: Right. I figured it would keep her mind off...other things.
Sheila: She was eyeing the caterer, wasn't she?
Alex: Yeah. *makes a face* Don't know why, though. He looked pretty nerdy to me.
Sheila: Me too. (Shrugs) To each their own.
Alex: No kidding.
Sheila: And now, the Mother. (Gently shakes Lauren's shoulder) Wakey-wakey, dear.
Lauren: Hm? *opens her eyes, then groans* Must be a nightmare...
Sheila: Nightmare? What's wrong with this? (Waves her hand around the bordello)
Lauren: *She's a little more awake now* I meant you two.
Sheila: What's wrong with us? (Looks at herself) I didn't think this dress was that bad.
Alex: Yeah, I even shaved.
Lauren: What do you want from me?
Sheila: Alex wants sex. I want you to tell me about my sister.
Lauren: Guess what? I'm not giving you either of those things.
Sheila: That's what you think. You don't have the rest of your little group to come gallantly to your rescue anymore. (She strolls to Lauren and gently rubs her head.) How would you like to read her soul, Alex? You haven't done one in so long.
Alex: I would love to.
Lauren: Nooo!
(Sheila holds Lauren's shoulders firmly as Alex reaches under her blouse and rubs.)
Alex: Let’s see...
Lauren: *Groans* No...
Alex: The usual...fear, of course. But there's something else... something I can't quite read...
Sheila: What? What do you read?
Alex: I don't know, that's the problem. Somehow, she's hiding something from us.
Sheila: Well, we're just going to have to find out what that is, aren't we?
Alex: Yes, we are.
Lauren: I won't... tell you...
Sheila: (Rubs her head) Oh, but you will! And you'll enjoy it!
Lauren: No...I won't!
Alex: *Hovers over her face for a moment* Yes, you will. *leans farther and kisses her gently*
Sheila: (Continues to rub) Tell us, Mother. Where is my sister in the car?
*Alex backs off enough to let her speak.*
Lauren: *Dazed and dreamy* She's...she's... *makes a face, internally struggling* in...in the...
Sheila: Yes, dear?
*Alex leans closer again, nuzzling her neck.*
Lauren: *Moans; her face relaxes* She's...in the...dash...center...console...
Sheila: (Smirks) It's about bloody time. Now (rubs again), how do we get her out?
Lauren: *As Alex continues to nuzzle* Don't know...wasn't told...
Sheila: Blast it. The Savage is the only one who knows, right?
Lauren: Yes...
Alex: *Pulls away* Dammit.
Lauren: *Frowns* Why...stop?
Alex: *Raises an eyebrow* Interesting.
Sheila: We want to corrupt my sister...and thus, corrupt all of you. I've been wanting to have it out with my wayward older sister for centuries now.
Lauren: No... *looks to Alex* why stop...nuzzle?
Alex: *Smirks* Well, well, well. Glad I shaved. *waggles his eyebrows*
Sheila: By Jove, I think you have her, Alex.
Alex: I'd say so.
Sheila: What shall we do with her now, Alex?
Alex: I know what I'D like to do.
Sheila: Go right ahead, then. Have lots of fun. Just watch her stomach.
Alex: No problem! Besides, that won't be the only thing I'll be watching.
Sheila: I'm sure. (Makes a face) I wish we'd though to keep the White Knight here. I don't have anyone to play with.
Alex: *Smirks* Maybe we should've hung on to the nerd after all.
Sheila: (Makes a face) Funny, Alex. Not my type. I like real men.
Alex: Can't say I didn't try.
Sheila: Maybe I'll see if I can find a nice, stupid playboy to jump into bed with.
Alex: There you go, Milady.
Sheila: You two have a fun morning. I'm going to check in on Zelda and those brats, then have my fun.
Alex: We sure will. (We fade out as Alex leans seductively over the confused Lauren.)
*We open in low, grassy plains. The grass waves tall in the air to the gentle breeze. Scrub trees dot the plains, and we see cliffs off in the distance. Micky and Davy appear in a blue light.*
(The boys are barely there for two minutes when an entire menagerie of animals come rushing straight at them!)
Micky: Run!
Davy: Don't have to tell me twice, mate!
*They sprint towards a couple of the scrub trees and scramble into them.*
(A slightly smaller cloud of dust passes under them, a pink tourmaline spear glittering in the African sunlight sticking out of it.)
Daphne's Voice: Hey, come back here! I need someone to volunteer for my breakfast!
Davy: Did you hear that, Mick?
Micky: Yeah, I did, and it sounds like your wife's hungry.
(The dust cloud finally slows down under them...revealing a very red and sweaty Daphne, holding her spear. She stamps her foot and points at the ground.)
Daphne: (Calling to the departing animals) Well, do I get a straight answer, or don't I? Who wants to volunteer to give a little meat for a poor, hungry huntress?
Davy: *Grins* That's my Huntress.
Daphne: (Groans) Some huntress I am. I can't even catch myself an antelope for dinner! (Looks up; her eyes widen) Davy! Mick! What are you doing here?
Micky: Looking for you, but it appears you found us!
Davy: I'm so glad to see you, luv!
Daphne: Me too! (She looks around) I think it's safe to come down now. Breakfast's gone. Jump down, and I'll catch you.
*Davy jumps down first.*
Daphne: (Catches the small man easily) Hi, honey. Isn't this cozy?
Davy: It sure is, luv!
(Daphne gives him a HUGE kiss!)
Daphne: There's just something about this hot African savannah that brings out the beast in me.
(Micky makes a face up above them. Daphne finally puts Davy down. They're both sweating now.)
Micky: Well?
Daphne: Ok, Mick. It's your turn. (He jumps...but she misses him and he lands on his rear.)
Micky: Ouch! Daph!
Daphne: (Shrugs) Sorry.
*Micky gets up, grumbling.*
Daphne: How did you guys find me?
Davy: We followed what I felt.
Daphne: (Takes his hand) Speaking of feels...how do you feel? You were so scared, and really hot, for some reason.
Davy: Well, luv, I had a first hand look at the inside of a volcano.
Daphne: What?! Are you ok?
Davy: I'm fine. Fortunately, Mick showed up in time to save me.
Daphne: (Looks at Mick) Did you end up somewhere weird, too?
Micky: The Arctic.
Daphne: Ouch. Are you ok? No frostbite?
Micky: I'm okay, but I think if I'd stayed there much longer, I'm sure I'd be in worse shape.
Daphne: Have you seen anyone else? What happened, anyway?
Micky: *Scratches the back of his head* Uhh...
Davy: *Shrugs* We're not really sure what happened. And no, we haven't seen anyone else.
Daphne: The last thing I remember was cleaning up after the party...Al the Caterer was there...
Davy: *Nods* I vaguely remember him, too.
Micky: And I don't remember anything.
Daphne: (Sighs) I can't think on an empty stomach. Who wants to hunt down breakfast with me?
Davy: I would be proud to, luv.
Micky: I've got nothing else to do, so I'll join ya.
Daphne: Good. You'll need something to hunt with, then. Micky, your Ruby Dagger should do fine.
Micky: *His dagger appears in his hand; he spins it* I think so, too.
Davy: What would you suggest for me, luv?
Daphne: Have you ever tried handling a spear? (Makes a bright blue one appear)
Davy: I don't think so, but I'm more than willing to try new things.
Daphne: Here you go, then. Have fun.
("A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You" begins as the group spreads out, looking for animals. Daphne sees a group of hyenas gnawing on bones. She lunges for them...and ends up tumbling over them when they duck! They all laugh hysterically at her, rolling over on their stomachs. Daphne huffs and storms away.)
*Micky sees a wolf, a lion, and a panther in the distance. He scratches his head and watches the trio of animals as they play. They seem very familiar to him. He sighs and walks away.*
(Daphne and Davy chase after two lion cubs. They chase them right into their den! There's a pause for a few minutes...and they're chased out by the lioness, who doesn't like humans picking on her children!)
(Daphne tries to throw a spear at an elephant, but it barely pierces his thick hide. He looks over his huge shoulder and rubs his rear with his nose, giving a "who threw that?" glare to anyone who might be looking. Daphne - and several other animals in the area - make a hasty exit.)
(Davy and Micky try to spear fish in the river...until Micky sees one fish catch on his spear and hold on with teeth! He hastily shakes the fish back into the river, and the two run off.)
*We see Micky hacking away with vigor at something small. With his back to us, we can't make out what it is...until he moves away and chomps on a handful of berries he'd chopped from the small bush.*
(Daphne climbs a cliff, watching an old baboon lift a small lion cub to an admiring group of animals. She taps the monkey's shoulder and asks him if he knows the location of the nearest restaurant that serves humans. The baboon points to the left. Daphne nods with a grin and heads out.)
