Scene 1
The cave of Narshe
(a few lamps on the wall provides dim lights in the cave)
******
Kuku: Kupo, my wings are tired. I'm going to take a break. ( sits down on a rock )
Kushu: Kupo kupo, you're so weak! How can you get tired so easily?
( enters Umaro from the other side )
Kushu: Kupo, isn't that Umaro, King Mog's kupo assistant?
Kuku: Kupo. Yeah. I don't understand why King Mog has him as an assistant...he's so kupo dumb!
Kushu: Kupo kupo. If Umaro's here, it means that King Mog must be near by. Hope he won't run into Queen Moruru, or else they'll yell at each other so loud that none of us wil have kupo peace.
Kuku: Kupo, what are they keep arguing about anyways?
Kushu: Well, Queen Moruru brought in this kupo artist girl, and she wants the artist to paint a kupo protrait of her so she can hang it over the throne. But King Mog wants his kupo protrait painted and hung over the throne instead so they keep arguing about it.
Kuku: Kupo, here they come!
( Mog enters from one side, Moruru enters from the other side with Relm, Kurin and Kupop. )
Mog: Moruru, for the kupo last time hand over the artist!
Moruru: Kupo no way! She's painting my protrait first!
Mog: Kupo! I'm the King, so my protrait should be painted first!
Relm: Um, I can paint both of you together on the same protrait you know.
Moruru: No! I want my own kupo face on that protrait, and not kupo with someone else's!
Mog: I'm the King, so my protrait should be kupo painted and hung over the kupo throne!
Relm: Gee, and people say I'm snobby.
Moruru: You are not taking Relm away and that's kupo final! Once I get the painting material for Relm she will paint my protrait! Kupo! ( grabs Relm and exits with Kurin and Kupop. )
Kuku: Kupo, we better go too. Queen Moruru will be expecting us. ( exits with Kushu )
Mog: Sometimes I kupo wonder why did I married her in the first place. Umaro, are you kupo here?
Umaro: Umaro here! Umaro at master's service!
Mog: Kupo, go to the icy cliff of Narshe, and fetch me those violet flowers that grows there. The juice of the flower, once spread on a pair of closed eyes, will have the kupo magical power to make a person fall in love with the first living being he or she sees when they open their eyes.
Umaro: Umaro will go fetch flower for master. ( exits )
Mog: Kupo, I will make Moruru fall in love with someone else, then when she's kupo preoccupied with that person or creature, I will take Relm away and have her paint my kupo protrait. And once Relm is done I shall cure Moruru with the juice of this other flower. What a plan. It's KUPO PERFECT! KUPOHOHO!
( enters Edgar, with Terra follwing )
Mog: Kupo, what are those humans doing here at this hour? Since they can't see me because I'm a magical moogle, I'll just stand here and watch.
Edgar: Terra, can't you just stop following me?
Terra: I'm just following my love.
Edgar: Terra, I don't love you anymore. Sorry if I hurt you but I'm in love with someone else!
Terra: Can't you see that Celes will never love you?
Edgar: And can't you see that I cannot love you anymore?
Terra: I betrayed my friend for you! And this is how you treat me back?
Edgar: ( stops and turns to face Terra. ) Terra, it's over between us. Go home, you have nothing to gain from following me. ( exits )
Terra: That's how you treat me after you're done with me? Maybe Locke is right. Maybe you are unworthy. But why am I still so attracted to you? ( exits )
Mog: Kupo, maybe I should help this poor girl.
( enters Umaro with a bunch of purple flowers )
Mog: Kupo, you're back! Here, give me the flowers. ( Umaro hands him flowers, Mog takes out a book titled 'Moogle's guide to magic spells' and flips through the pages ) Let's see.....Kupo! Here it is - "How to make love-potions from flowers." First, throw flowers in a food processor, blend it for 1 minute, the pour through tea strainer, extracting the juice. Makes 4 spell-servings. Kupo okay! ( takes out food processor and tea strainer and blends the flowers to juice. ) I will kupo pour the juice into Moruru's eyes. Umaro, take some juice and find a blonde man wearing Figarian clothings. He should have a lady following him. Stain his eyes with the juice, and make sure that the first person he sees will be that lady. Kupo got it?
Umaro: Yes, master, Umaro got it! ( exits )
Mog: Now I will kupo go find my wife...

Scene 2
Another part of the cave
******
Moruru: ( yawning ) Kupo, arguing with Mog takes so much of my energy. I think I'll take a rest here and sleep. Moogles, you can leave now.
Kuku: Kupo, thus we shall depart.
( exits Kuku, kushu, Kupop and Kurin. Moruru sleeps. Mog enters a moment later. )
Mog: ( pouring the juice from a bottle over Moruru's eyes ) Kupohoho, I should make this a more cruel prank. Kupo! I know! I'll make her fall in love with an extremely hideous creature! That'll be kupo fun! I'll wander around here and look for a suitable creature...( exits )
( enters Locke and Celes )
Locke: Man, it's been a while since I been here. I kind of forgot where the secret passage was.
Celes: Well, at least there are some light in here, or else we won't be able to see where we are going.
Locke: ( yawns ) Maybe we should take a rest first. I'm sure you're pretty tired too, Celes.
Celes: Yeah, I'm not used to staying up this late.
Locke: Let's just sleep here and we'll continue tomorrow. Not like they're going to search here for us anyways. ( rolls out sleeping bag )
Celes: ( takes out her own sleeping bag and place it across from Locke ) Yeah. Good night, Locke.
( both falls asleep. Umaro enters. )
Umaro: Figarian clothing? Me does not know how Figarian dress. Me just look for blonde man. ( sees Locke and Celes ) Ah! Blonde man with lady! ( takes out a bottle, pour juice over Locke's eyes ) Umaro done. Blonde man will fall in love with lady. ( exits )
( enters Terra )
Terra: Where is Edgar? I thought I saw him a while ago. ( trips over Locke, Locke awakes ) Ouch! What was that? ( looks down ) Locke? Are you okay?
Locke: Terra! Such sweet beauty! Why didn't I notice it before?
Terra: What are you talking about?
Locke: Why did I waste my time with Celes? You are the one that I truly loved!
Terra: Locke, you're scaring me.
Locke: I finally see your true beauty, Terra, and I am deeply in love with you. Your sparkling emerald eyes, your soft green hair, everything about you is superior to Celes.
Terra: Is this some kind of a joke? What are you trying to do, Locke? Trying to insult me that I'm not as beautiful as Celes? You are mocking me aren't you?
Locke: No! I'm saying the words from my heart.
Terra: Locke, what did I ever do to you to deserve this kind of insult? You love Celes, and you expect me to believe that you're now in love with me? Well I think you're just playing a joke on me. Just leave me alone, okay? ( exits )
Locke: Terra, come back! ( exits )
( a moment later Celes awakes, but still lying down with her back facing where Locke originally was )
Celes: Man, I just had a funny dream, Locke. I dreamt that we're all just a bunch of characters from a video game called Final Fantasy VI created by something named SquareSoft. I also saw some people from the other 'Final Fantasy' too...there was this guy named Cloud, and this other guy named Squall. They look pretty funny to me. Isn't it strange? ( gets up, turns around and sees Locke is not there ) Locke? Where'd you go? ( looks around, then exits )
