CHAPTER 1:

In the town of Cross....

LEON: How much are those carrots?
VENDOR: About 2,000 FOL.
LEON: 2,000 FOL!? That's too much! I can't pay that! I WONT!!!!
VENDOR: It is NOT too much! It's a fine price, and if you can't tolerate it,
then LEAVE my stand!
LEON: 2,000 FOL!? What is this, some sort of joke!?
VENDOR: Did you not hear me!? Leave, or I will call in the guards!....
LEON: IT ISN'T OVER YET!!!! I WILL find justice!....

Leon leaves the stand....

Vendor: That kid doesn't know what he is talking about....

Leon meets up with Precis.

LEON: Well, big sister, it looks like I have some work to do....
PRECIS: Huh? What?
LEON: That vendor over there (pointing) is a freebooter!
PRECIS: What did he do?
LEON: He charged 2,000 FOL for a carrot!
PRECIS: 2,000 FOL!!!!???? That's WAY too expensive....
LEON: That's why I need to get back at him....
PRECIS: What are you planning to do?
LEON: I'm going to make the carrots rot! By applying some Dill Whip residue,
they'll go bad in several days!....
PRECIS: Hmmm... could I help, PLEAZE????
LEON: Sure, big sister!
PRECIS: THANKS!!!!

CHAPTER 2:

Claude is wandering around in Cross by himself....

CLAUDE: Hmmm, what do do, what to do....

Celine comes running up to Claude.

CELINE: Hello, Claude darling!
CLAUDE: Celine?
CELINE: Oh, I just wanted to tell you - Cross is having a big parade near the
center of town later... I thought you might be interested.
CLAUDE: What sort of parade?
CELINE: Why, to celebrate the king's brithday, of course!
CLAUDE: Well, then, I'll be there! What about Rena? Where is she?
CELINE: Oh, she can't make it. She has started a large garden up with Noel.
CLAUDE: A shame, though I hope their garden comes out well....
CELINE: Oops, I have to run. See you at the parade, Claude darling....
CLAUDE: See you later, Celine....

Celine walks away.

CLAUDE: Hmmm.... a parade....

Claude then overhears Leon and Precis talking....

LEON: ... So, when I preoccupy the vendor, you will then slip the residue into
the potted plants....
PRECIS: Wow! What then?
LEON: Then we... ehhh... walk away like nothing happened?!....
PRECIS: Yeha! Simple, yet effective....

Claude decides to join in....

CLAUDE: Hello, Leon. Hi, Precis.
LEON: Oh, hi big brother.
PRECIS: Hey, Claude!
CLAUDE: So, what are you two talking about?
LEON: The vendor on the other side of town charged too much for carrots....
PRECIS: We're gonna get back at him!
CLAUDE: ....
LEON: We've really been thinking this through....
CLAUDE: Oh, that reminds me, there's going to be a parade here later.
Celine told me. Do you two want to come with us?
LEON: Well, I musn't....
PRECIS: WOW!? A PARADE!? COOL!!!!
LEON: Precis, sister, we have a plan, remember....
PRECIS: Sorry, Leon, but I'm going with Claude! I like parades!....
LEON: What about our plan?....
PRECIS: Oh, you'll manage. I'm sure of it!

CHAPTER 3:

Later, at the parade....

CELINE: I wonder what's keeping Claude?....

Claude and Precis approach Celine....

CLAUDE: Hi, Celine.
CELINE: Hello, darlings. Well, let's look at what's going on, shall we?
PRECIS: COOL!!!! I like this!

While the three of them are watching the parade, Celine feels something brush
her head....

CELINE: What... MY HAT!!!! IT'S GONE!!!!
CLAUDE: What happened?
CELINE: Somebody stole my hat!
PRECIS: OH, NO!....
CLAUDE: Let's find him.
CELINE: Split up, everyone! He couldn't have gone far!....

Precis spots the thief.

PRECIS: THERE HE IS!!!! THERE HE IS!!!!

All three of them start chasing the crook.

CELINE: Come back here!!!! That's my hat!!!!

CHAPTER 4:

Leon approaches the street vendor....

LEON: You know, I said I wa going to get back at you, and now I am!
VENDOR: What!? You again?
LEON: Hah!
VENDOR: You can't do anything to me or my stand!
LEON: You're wrong!
VENDOR: Hey, no matter what, I'm not changing the price of my carrots!....
LEON: (thinking to himself) Oh, no. I have to change my plan, it's not
working!
VENDOR: ....
LEON: ....
VENDOR: What, loose your tongue?
LEON: ... Well... sir... I just realized.... what's the point of this?
VENDOR: Huh?
LEON: After all, why are we arguing over carrots?
VENDOR: Because, you were complaining about their high price!
LEON: Well, when I think about it, the price is not THAT bad....
VENDOR: So the dispute is settled, then.
LEON: Sure is....

Leon pretends to drop some FOL.

LEON: Oops....

As Leon bends down, he puts some Dill Whip residue on the carrots....

VENDOR: Hey, what are you doing? That'll wreck my carrots!

Leon begins to run away.

VENDOR: COME BACK HERE!!!!
....
VENDOR: Doh, I can't chase him, gotta stay by my stand....

Unknown to him, the residue covered more than just the carrots....

VENDOR: ....

Noel and Rena approach the vendor....

NOEL: Could we have several potted plants, please?
VENDOR: 10,000 FOL.
RENA: They're a little expensive, are you sure we should buy them from here?
NOEL: These are rare flowers. They'll REALLY make out garden shine!
RENA: Well... OK.

The deal is made....

CHAPTER 5:

CELINE: COME... BACK... HERE!!!!
CLAUDE: WE'LL GET YOU!!!!
PRECIS: YOU... ARE... MEAN!!!!
CLAUDE and CELINE: ....

The thief runs into the parade. Claude, Celine, and Precis go into a quick
huddle....

CLAUDE: Oh, no! We have to split up again!
CELINE: Good idea!
CLAUDE: Celine, go for a right flank! Precis, go left....
CELINE and PRECIS: OK!!!!
CLAUDE: I'll do a central tackle!
CELINE and PRECIS: YES!!!!
CLAUDE: Go, go, go, GO!!!!

A parade whistle sounds. The three of them run their own seperate ways.

PRECIS: Hah! Almost go him!....

The thief dodges Precis' lunge.

PRECIS: Doh!!!!

Claude and Celine are still hot on the thief's trail. The crowd goes wild
after seeing the change in plans....

CLAUDE: Come back here!!!!
CELINE: Don't let him get through!!!!

The thief dodges them in such a way that Claude and Celine collide into each
other, and fall to the ground. The thief makes it to the other side, and
throws the hat down to the ground out of happiness.

CLAUDE: Oh, no!!!!

Just then, two guards take the thief away. The crowd REALLY starts cheering
now....

CELINE: Good work, team!
PRECIS: GOOD JOB!!!!

Several more guards approach thehtree of them.

GUARD: You have also interfered with the parade. You will be arrested as well.
PRECIS: OH, NO!!!!
CLAUDE and CELINE: ....

END

Several days later....

RENA: It's been several days since we put the new plants in place.
NOEL: Yep.
RENA: Would you like to check them out again?
NOEL: Sure. It's good so see the environmental progression of plants.

Noel and Rena check their garden.

NOEL and RENA: WHAAAAAAAAT!!!!????

All the plants in their garden are completely wilted.

NOEL: What's this?
RENA: Our garden!
NOEL and RENA: ....
....
RENA: Well... now what?

Meanwhile....

CLAUDE: We didn't do anything wrong, honest!
GUARD: You interfered with the parade! You're just as bad as the thief!
CELINE: OK, OK! What's our punishment?
GUARD: Well, there was a vendor in Cross who almost had his business wrecked.
Some of his food products gone bad. Maybe if you resupply the vendor with more
products... OUT OF YOUR POCKETS....
CLAUDE, CELINE, and PRECIS: ....

The scene pauses with the four of them centered, then fades. End.
