\+/Regret\+/

Yeah, whatever…
Is all that was said on this
Lonesome day.

You walk away.

I regret that lonesome day,
For my life has changed
Into something I love.

Had I said

Small change

would have changed
my life, for the better,
on this
lonesome day.

1) i know i need it a lot longer. what do you think? I'm bad at this XD

2) anything at all that would help?

my play V.3

After a plague swept through the world, Jonny, and his next-door neighbor Rulu, have both been unaffected by it. But their families were. They hated each other for the longest time but have grown to working together. Jonny and Rulu have been wandering for one year looking for any other survivors. There walking down the streets in a city not known to them.

[Scene opens with Jonny and Rulu digging through old food in a store]

Rulu

Rats ate everything edible in the stupid store! Why are we even trying anymore?

Jonny

[Staring at Rulu]

Its fine, we’ll find something soon.

[Jonny stands up and grabs his backpack]

let’s go, maybe another survivor found something.

Rulu

[Stands up angrily, grabbing her bag]

There are no other survivors! It’s been a year and we haven’t seen anyone!

Jonny

C’mon, it’s not all bad, we can keep each other company, we have been.

[Turns to go to the door (off stage)]

Rulu

Why would I like to spend time with you? I’ve been with you for a year now!

Jonny

Well excuse me. . .

Rulu

There is no excuse for you.

Jonny

That’s a little uncalled for. I think we should try to get along.

Rulu

Do you think I care what you think?

[her face changes into a smile]

HAHA

[She sticks her tongue out]

Let’s get outa here

Jonny

Alright

[Lights fade as they walk out the store (off stage)]

[Lights turn back (dim) on as the enter a street]

Rulu

[Sitting down]

let’s stop for the night. I’m way to hungry to keep going.

Jonny

[Still walking forward]

Rulu, you have food in your bag. Eat something while we walk.

[Rulu rummages through her bag and pulls out a bar a chocolate]

Rulu

[Stands up, runs and grabs Jonnys arm]

Only chocolate and I’m sick of chocolate. I want something real! Like cheese, or bread, pasta would do just fine too. Not chocolate!

[She breaks off a small chunk of chocolate]

Here, you need to eat something too

Jonny

[Pushing the chocolate away]

I’m not hungry.

Rulu

You haven’t ate anything for the past 3 days

[She pushes the chocolate to Jonnys lips, he backs away and the chocolate falls]

Jonny

You obviously need it more

Rulu

Well, we both need it. And you know it. Why must you refuse my request?

Jonny

I told you why, I don’t need that now. Now if you don’t mind, we need to get moving, obviously there’s nothing more here, let’s get going.

[He begins walking away.]

Rulu

Jon stop. I really need to stop. I’m not eating the chocolate and I’m not gonna keep walking until im full; we can stop tonight and look one last time. I promise to cooperate tomorrow

[she slowly sits down, smiling at Jonny]

Let’s go to sleep

Fine, we’ll stop here, but can’t we go into one of the houses tonight? There are actually beds here and maybe being comfortable tonight wouldn’t hurt.

Rulu

You don’t understand, I can’t go any further. I really need to just stop here.

[Jonny sits down next to Rulu and she sets her head on his shoulder]

Thanks for putting with me. I know it can be hard.

[Lights begin to fade]

Jonny

Don’t think much of it; I would have killed myself If I was alone this whole time.

[Lights go completely out]

[after several seconds a sun image moves up the background and lights slowly turn on]

Jonny

Rulu! I found a can of pasta! You hungry?!

[rulu doesn’t move as he runs on stage]

Rulu, c’mon, normal food!

[she straightens up and turns towards Jonny, an angry expression on her face]

Rulu

You could have told me you were leaving!

Jonny

I try to do one nice thing for you and you are angry I let you sleep? What’s wrong with you women!

Rulu

[standing up]

I didn’t know if you were coming back…

Jonny

You haven’t had an issue with me leaving before, what’s the big deal now?

Rulu

I didn’t expect you to come back. You plan on finding more people when I would just assume be dead instead of keep looking.

Jonny

I just don’t want to give up hope. You watch movies right? There’s always more survivors than what the film shows. Think of us like the main characters.

Rulu

The main characters usually end up dying.

[she picks up her bag]

We better get moving. Don’t want the rats to eat us.

Jonny

I thought you were to hungry to even move last night, 5 hours later and you she be desperate for food.

Rulu

Nah, I just didn’t want to leave this city at night, you know animals weren’t infected so there’s probably wolves out past the city.

Jonny

Well if you don’t mind, I want to test out that theory. We’ll leave tonight then. You go first.

Rulu

Or not… let’s assume that we die if we leave this town. It would be your fault.

Jonny

Remember, we came to this city almost a month ago. We didn’t have an issue then, why would we now? You don’t make any sense Ru. And why would we be attacked by wolves if we left at night? But ok, we will leave now.

[he puts the can into his back]

Rulu

Wait! It was my decision to leave now. You can’t give me an order to leave! Maybe its best to separate now, you go look for your mythological survivors and I’ll look for a suitable place to die.

[she begins to walk offstage]

Jonny

Know what? Fine! Get out of here; I don’t need your help! Your just dead weight!

[as rulu leaves stage, Jonny runs after her, lights dim]

Jonny

I think I should have listened to you

Rulu

You think?

[lights flash on, showing Jonny and Rulu in a tree, surrounded by wolves]

[1 wolf tears Jonnys bag apart, the can rolls away and the single wolf chases it]

Jonny

Maybe if I run to left, the wolves will chase me and you can get away.

[he grabs onto a thick branch and begins moving down]

Rulu

Don’t be so stupid.

[she reaches her arm down to help him up but leans forward too much and falls to the ground]

Jonny help!

[Wolves encircle her and one pounces at her arm, a motor is heard followed by a gunshot. The wolves run away. A man runs onstage]

Anton

Yo kid! Is she okay?

[Jonny jumps down to check Rulu. She does not move, and Anton moves closer]

Jonny

Why didn’t you find us yesterday!? We didn’t move from the city, where are you hiding? Never mind, help me get Rulu to your truck.

Anton

Her arm is bad; my district probably won’t be able to fix it. I think it would be best to just put her out of her misery.

[he points his rifle toward Rulu, still motionless]

Jonny

Don’t you dare! We have to try; she would try to help me if I had fallen.

[anton shakes his head, but grabs Rulus legs and helps Jonny carry Rulu away]

Anton

You know what kid? I think my family will love you guys.

[lights turn off, no fade]
