***************************************
(Silvania sees the car tumbling into the river and falling inside)
Silvania: What is that?
(Her curiosity drives her to go to the river, She peeps into the river and sees the car sinking into it. She then jumps into water and swims to the car, She manages to get the car door open and sees Alex and Bethany then she carries them out of the car to the surface)
Silvania: They must be the humans Mother always talks about. (She carries them to the riverbank and examines them) Their skin is so smooth and their teeth is different too…. Oh no, There’s still one more human in the river.
(She jumps into the water and swims back to the car and when she sets her eyes on Stephen, She falls hopelessly in love with him. She re-moves his seatbelt then carries him out of the car, taking him to the riverbank)
Silvania: (smiling) Wow, He’s so handsome….
(She sees two men approaching the riverbank and hides behind a large boulder)
Man 1: I’m glad we caught enough fish today.
Man 2: Yeah, Most of the fishes have migrated towards our area that’s why.
Man 1: (grins happily) We’re back in business!
(They see two figures lying lifelessly at the riverbank)
Man 1: Hold on, Who are those people lying over there?
Man 2: I don’t know…
(They run to Alex and Bethany)
Man 1: (he shakes Alex and Bethany) They’re unconscious. (He checks their pulse) But they’re still alive… We have to call the ambulance quic-kly.
Man 2: Ok. Let’s first of all get them away from the riverbank.
Man 1: Okay
Silvania: (she overhears them) Ambulance? That sounds dangerous.
(When the men carry an unconscious Alex and Bethany away from the riverbank, Silvania comes out of her hiding and carries an unconscious Stephen away)
Man 1: (he returns back) Wait a minute, Where did the other one go?
Man 2: (surprised) I don’t know, He was here just now….
Man 1: We have to look for him!
(Meanwhile)
(Silvania takes Stephen to a nearby bush close to the Troll Kingdom and examines him thor0ûghly)
Silvania: He doesn’t seem dangerous at all (she glances at the sack and remembers she was s£nt on an errand) Oh $h!t, I have to get back to Princess Marianna (To an unconscious Stephen) I’ll be back…
(She covers his b©dy with large leaves then returns to the Troll kingdom)
(Hillwood City)
(At the foster home)
Bobby: Hey Lucas. Where’re you going?
Lucas: I’m going to Mr Felix’s. To walk his dogs.
Bobby: Just be home early today.
Lucas: No worries…
(Lucas leaves the house. Just then, Mr Blackwell enters their room)
Thompson, Patrick, Williams & Bobby: Good morning Mr Blackwell.
Mr Blackwell: Morning!
Thompson: Why’re you all jittery?
Mr Blackwell: There’s a lady coming here to inspect the foster home so I want you all to be on your best behavior. Is that un-derstood?
Thompson, Patrick, Williams & Bobby: Yes Mr Blackwell.
Mr Blackwell: Where’s Lucas?
Thompson: He went out.
Mr Blackwell: Argh! That boy!
(Just then, The doorbell rings )
Mr Blackwell: She’s here! Okay, I want you all to behave prim and proper and act like you’ve been having the best time of your lives here.
Thompson, Patrick, Williams & Bobby: (excitedly) YES MR BLACKWELL!!!!
Mr Blackwell: Take it down a notch. Nob©dy’s gonna believe that.
(He goes to open the door)
Mr Blackwell: Good day Miss.
Miss Elyse: You must be Mr Judas Blackwell. I’m here to inspect the foster home that’s been put un-der your care.
Mr Blackwell: Go ahead. I as-sure you, The kids here have been enjoying their lives here.
Miss Elyse: I’ll see for myself.
(Later on)
Mr Blackwell: So….?
Mrs Elyse: Apparently, You’ve been taking really good care of the kids. (smiles) I’ll make sure to give your foster home a good review.
Mr Blackwell: Thank you very much
Miss Elyse: You’re welcome.
(She leaves the house)
(Later that evening)
(Lucas returns to the foster home)
(He attempts to sneak back into his room when Mr Blackwell appears behind him)
Mr Blackwell: Lucas.
Lucas: (frightened) Ah! (He turns around to see him) Mr Blackwell?
Mr Blackwell: Where were you since? Do you know an inspector c@m£ here for a survey? What if she had given me a bad review because of your disappearance?
Lucas: I’m sorry Mr Blackwell. I went out to walk Mr Felix’s dogs so I can get paid and start saving up some money.
Mr Blackwell: I’m gonna pardon you this time but next time, I won’t be so lenient. I mean, You can’t just be sneaking out of the foster home like that. What if something bad happens to you or you get kidnapped?
Lucas: I’m really sorry sir.
Mr Blackwell: It’s alright. Go to your room.
(Lucas enters the room)
Bobby: Welcome back. Hope Mr Blackwell didn’t see you?
Lucas: He did.
Thompson: I told you you’re gonna get in trouble with Mr Blackwell one day and today’s that day.
Lucas: I didn’t get in trouble. I explained what happened to him and luckily he un-derstood.
Thompson: Well, Next time…. You might not be so lucky!
Bobby: Ignore him. Are you going out to see the fireworks today? I was planning on coming with you.
Lucas: I don’t think I can. I’m really exhausted, Maybe tomorrow
Bobby: Alright then.
(Meanwhile)
(At Sir Griffin’s mansion)
Veronica: Honey! I just got a call from Hillwood Central Hospital, Bethany and Alex just got admitted there. They were on their way back when their car crashed into a river. The locals said they found Bethany and Alex’s b©dy
Sir Griffin: Oh no… What about Stephen?
Veronica: That’s the problem. His b©dy was nowhere to be found.
Sir Griffin: (worried) No, This can’t be… We have to head to the police station right away!
Veronica: Okay, I’ll go get the car keys.
(Meanwhile)
(The Troll Kingdom)
(Silvania returns to the castle)
Prince Erik: Silvania, Where’re you coming from?
Silvania: Your sister s£nt me on an errand to collect some blueberries.
Prince Erik: And why’re you we-t?
Silvania: It’s a long story. I have to go meet the princess now…
Prince Erik: Hmm, Ok then.
(Silvania rushes back to Princess Marianna’s chambers)
Silvania: My princess…. I’m back
Princess Marianna: (enraged) Where have you been?
Silvania: Umm…. I was out collecting the blueberries that you asked me to go get.
Princess Marianna: Liar!
(Princess Marianna furiously sl@ps her)
Princess Marianna: Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you? You left me hungry!
Silvania: (she ru-bs her cheeks) I’m really sorry my princess…
Princess Marianna: You won’t get away with this. I promise you.
(A guard enters her room)
Guard: My princess….
Princess Marianna: (furiously) What is it? Can’t you see I’m in the middle of something here?!!!
Guard: The King ordered me to s£nd for you. He wants to see everyone in the throne room.
Princess Marianna: Fine. (To Silvania) You’re coming with me!
Silvania: (nods her head) Yes my princess.
(In the throne room)
King Jerod: (he addresses everyone) I want you all listen… My guards just reported that there’s a troll who snuck out of our Kingdom to the outside world…. Whoever that troll is should better watch out because if that troll is caught, I’ll have him/her put to death! I can’t afford to have any troll endanger the rest of us!!!
(Silvania stares at King Jerod in fear)

***************************************
(At the castle)
(In Princess Marianna’s room)
(Silvania polishes Princess Marianna’s tail)
Silvania: How is it my princess?
Princess Marianna: It’s good, Keep going. (She stares at Silvania for a moment) I heard some merfolks discussing about the mermaid that went up to the surface. They said she had black hair, silver eyes, a golden-orange tail…. That kinda describes you, Don’t you think?
Silvania: I don’t know.
Princess Marianna: Maybe you’re the mermaid who went up to the surface. (She stares at Silvania with narrowed eyes)
Silvania: (nervously) Princess Marianna, It’s can’t be me. I wouldn’t dare disobey the King’s orders.
Princess Marianna: (suspiciously) Hmmm, Okay fine… (She collects the polish from her) You’re finished for today, You may go now.
Silvania: Okay. (bows) Thank you my princess.
(She leaves the room)
Princess Marianna: I’m suspecting that girl.
Suzanne: We’re gonna follow her, Aren’t we?
Princess Marianna: (sm-irks) Oh yeah, Big time.
(Princess Marianna and Suzanne sneaks out of the castle and follows Silvania)
(Meanwhile)
(Silvania swims to the borders of the Mer kingdom, She looks around to see if anyone’s watching)
Silvania: (sighs) I have to see that human again. No matter what it takes.
(Silvania swims out of the Mer Kingdom. Unknown to her, Princess Marianna and Suzanne, Who’s been following her, come out of their hiding)
Suzanne: I wonder where she’s going.
Princess Marianna: That’s what we are going to find out. Come on!
(Princess Marianna and Suzanne keep on following Silvania and sees her going up to the surface)
Suzanne: (points) There she is!
Princess Marianna: I knew it! She’s the mermaid that went up to the surface!
Suzanne: Are you going back now to report her to your father?
Princess Marianna: I definitely will. But first, I wanna find out why she’s been sneaking up to the surface.
(At the cave)
(Silvania goes to where she hid Stephen)
Silvania: I’m back… (She stares at him) I wonder what’s happening to him, He looks so sick and pale. (She checks his b©dy and sees injuries all over him) Oh no, He’s been injured badly. No wonder he’s been unconscious. (She checks if he’s breathing) Oh good, He’s still alive. (She looks around) Mother told me about some herbs that can help to cure injuries…. I have to look for some (to Stephen) I’ll be back.
(Silvania jumps back into the water and swims out of the cave to look for some herbs)
(Few minutes later)
(Princess Marianna and Suzanne arrive at the surface and looks around)
Princess Marianna: The world up here looks so distinct from our world. But anyways, There’s not much to see here, My father’s kingdom is much more beautiful than this place.
Suzanne: That’s true. But I wonder where Silvania is.
Princess Marianna: We’ll find her, Come on…
(Princess Marianna and Suzanne search around for Silvania and goes to the cave where she hid Stephen)
Princess Marianna: So far we’ve traced her to this place.
Suzanne: What’s that thing covered with seaweeds?
Princess Marianna: I don’t know….
(Princess Marianna goes closer and re-moves the seaweeds that Silvania used to cover Stephen and sees him)
Princess Marianna: (amazed) Oh my goodness….
Suzanne: He must be a human.
Princess Marianna: Yes. And he’s so handsome, He must be the reason why Silvania sneaks up to the surface.
Suzanne: Marianna, We’ve alre-ady confirmed that Silvania’s the mermaid that’s been coming up to the surface. Let’s go back.
Princess Marianna: Suzanne, Aren’t you seeing how beautiful he is?
Suzanne: (worriedly) Yes i can see that. But we’re way beyond the Mer kingdom. We have to get back before the King notices anything or we might get in trouble. The King will pardon you but he definitely won’t pardon me…. I don’t wanna get killed!
Princess Marianna: Alright, Fine… (To Stephen) Goodbye human.
(Princess Marianna and Suzanne enter into the water go back to the Mer kingdom)
(Hillwood City)
(At the police station)
Police 1: Good evening sir, How may we help you?
Sir Griffin: I’m here to file a report. It’s about my son, He got involved in an accident along with his friends, Some men found his friend’s bodies but did not find his. (He shows them a picture of Stephen) Here’s a picture him, His name is Stephen.
Police officer 1: (he writes its down) It’s alright sir, I’ll alert the other officers. We’ll go look for him
Veronica: (To Sir Griffin) Don’t worry, Everything will be okay.
Sir Griffin: (worriedly) I really hope so.
(Meanwhile)
(Silvania returns back to Stephen with the herbs)
Silvania: Wow, These herbs are REALLY ha-rd to find… (To Stephen) But don’t worry human, You’re gonna get better very soon.
(She places the herbs on his injuries)
Silvania: This should help….
(Just then, Someone taps her from behind and she turns around in fright)
Silvania: (frightened) Ah! (She breathes a sigh of relief when she sees it’s her brother, Simon) What the…. How’d you know I’d be here?
Simon: I’m your brother. And I figured you’re the mermaid that went up to the surface because you’re always talking about knowing what lies above the waters. Look, We nee-d to get back to the Mer Kingdom right away.
Silvania: Hold on, What about him? (She points at Stephen)
Simon: Is that a human?
Silvania: Yeah. I saved him from drowning yesterday. Can’t you see how gorgeous he is? (blus-hes) I think I’m in love.
Simon: Don’t be silly. You can’t possibly fall in love with him. He’s a human and you’re a mermaid…. You’re from two different worlds.
Silvania: (disappointedly) I know…
Simon: Silvania, You can’t keep him here forever. You have to get him back to where he belongs.
Silvania: (sighs) Okay.
Simon: Just get him back, I’ll be waiting for you over here.
Silvania: Alright.
(Later)
(Silvania carries an unconscious Stephen and takes him back to the seashore)
Silvania: It’ll be easier for the other humans to find him here.
(Just then, Stephen weakly opens his eyes)
Silvania: The herbs, They worked! (she waves at him) Hi. My name is Silvania.
Stephen: (weakly) Uhhh…. (Stephen catches a glimpse of Silvania and is mesmerized by her grace and beauty, But he’s unaware that she’s a mermaid) Are you an angel?
Silvania: (chuckles) I don’t know….(she smiles at him, revea-ling her sparkling white teeth) What is your name?
Stephen: (faintly) Stephen.
Silvania: (she sings to him)? My heart is pierced by cu-pid. I disdain all glittering gold… There is nothing can console me, But my jolly sailor bold ?
Stephen: You have a beautiful voice.
Silvania: (blus-hes) Thank you.
Stephen: (he closes his eyes) Uhhh….
(Stephen goes unconscious once again)
Silvania: (taps him) Stephen? Stephen?
(Silvania sees some men coming)
Silvania: This is where we say goodbye, Goodbye Stephen.
(She k!sses Stephen on thel-ips before she goes back into the sea)
Man 1: (points) Wait… Isn’t that the man that disappeared yesterday?
Man 2: Yes! Looks like he’s the one, We have to get him to the hospital…
(Silvania watches from afar as the men carry Stephen away from the riverbank)
