(Some boy shows wielding a wooden sword.)
BOY
I'm warning you. Step aside from March, you villains.
RYUJIN
Who the fuck is retard?!
BOY
Who are you calling a retard?
(He kicks Ryujin's knee.)
RYUJIN
Ouch. Okay that does it. I'm going to kill you.
SKYE
You're not going to kill a kid, are you Ryu?
RYUJIN
It's a metaphor Skye. Now get your ass over here brat.
(He and the boy start to fight as a cloud of dust start form.)
VEE
I can't believe our "captain" can get intimidated by a kid.
MARCH
You guys stop fighting at the gate. Teddy & Ryujin.
(Both Ryujin and the boy known as Teddy stop fighting at point at one another.)
RYUJIN & TEDDY
He started it!
(Sometime later.)
TEDDY
Now I get it. This Red hair brat is your cousin known as Ryujin Nemesis. And these girls are also your friends
MARCH
That's right.
RYUJIN
Oi! Who are you calling a brat, Brat?
TEDDY
If you're a nineteen-year-old teenaged boy, then you should act your age, instead of acting childish.
(Vee, Skye and March laugh in the background.)
RYUJIN
One of these days I'm going to kill that brat.
TEDDY
So, why are you guys here?
RYUJIN
We're here for a ship.
TEDDY
Do you have money for the ship?
RYUJIN
Of course we do. We'll use Vee's treasures to buy the ship.
VEE
No way, I'm letting you do that.
MARCH
Is Risa around Teddy?
TEDDY
Yeah, she is.
MARCH
Can we at least talk to her.
TEDDY
Sure, I'll let you guys in.
(He opens the gate ushering them in. At the front yard there's a garden and well-trimmed hedges. There's a fountain right in the middle.)
RYUJIN
Whoa! This place is majestically huge.
SKYE
Yeah. It's my first time being here.
VEE
It's just the front yard. There's nothing here to see.
RYUJIN
(gives Vee a flower.)
Nothing to see huh? Then is this flower nothing to see.
(Vee's face reddens as she receives the flower.)
VEE
Alright, I take back what I juts said. And thanks for the flower.
MARCH & SKYE
Ryujin… where's our flowers?
RYUJIN
Huh, get them yourselves.
MARCH
Idiot cousin of mine.
(She pouts.)
SKYE
Meanie.
(Before they could enter the mansion, a woman in a purple dress and with a perm hairstyle appears. Her name is Pasha.)
PASHA
Who are these people that you brought Teddy?
TEDDY
They're March's friends and the Red hair is her cousin.
PASHA
Is that true March?
MARCH
Yes.
PASHA
What did I tell you to address me as, March?
MARCH
As Madam.
PASHA
That's right. And you do know the consequences of forgetting that March.
MARCH
(faces down.)
Yes, I know.
RYUJIN
Oi! Who do you think you are that you can talk that way to my cousin?
PASHA
What's your name Red hair?
RYUJIN
I'm Ryujin Nemesis and I'm going—
(Skye and Vee cover his mouth.)
VEE
{Hey stop it or you'll blow our cover.}
RYUJIN
{Okay. Fine.}
PASHA
Since, we have guests here, please come in and make yourselves at home. And also you guys need to wash up. We don't want the house to start to smell from your sweat.
(She enters the mansion with them.)
(After showering, they're at the closer trying to find what attire to wear.)
RYUJIN
There's something wrong with that woman. I can just feel it.
VEE
You're just exaggerating Ryujin.
RYUJIN
No, I'm not. I don't like her attitude and the way she spoke to March.
MARCH
Actually, she was the one that took me in after I crashed in this island.
RYUJIN
…
(Vee gets out of the changing room wearing a seductive one piece dress.)
VEE
How do you like this dress?
RYUJIN
It looks good on you.
(Skye is already dressed up except that she's not wearing a dress but a pair of pants.)
MARCH
You're not wearing a dress. Skye?
SKYE
I'm not used in wearing them.
MARCH
Same here. I don't think they're suited for fighting.
VEE
So I'm the only female that's going to wear a dress. You know what suite yourselves.
(Later on, they're ready for the dinner and are greeted by Risa.)
RISA
Good evening, March's friends and I welcome you all to our mansion. Let's head to the dining table and have some dinner.
RYUJIN
Oh boy, I'm so hungry.
TEDDY
Same here.
(They both rush to the table.)
PASHA
Have some manners Teddy.
VEE
That applies to you Ryujin.
