Kaida and Kenzo, Sitting In A Tree
Kaida: What would you be doing right now, if you stayed home for Christmas?
Kenzo: Well, you know, things can be a little crazy at Ms. Beamlette’s house.
Kaida: You can say that again.
Kenzo: So I’d probably just be trying to stay out of the way. Maybe I’d be sitting there doing nothing, or practicing my violin, or eating Christmas cookies. But no matter what else I was doing, I’d be thinking of you.
Kaida: And you’d better be thinking of me right now too, mister.
Kenzo: Who could do anything else? You’re kinda hard to ignore…
Kaida: Yeah, I’m a force to be reckoned with, and don’t you forget it!
Kenzo: (laughs) A force of nature, that's you! Speaking of nature, how about a walk? We can be alone for a bit. I like your sister okay, but I get the feeling she’s still trying to make up her mind about me. I feel like a bug under a microscope.
Kaida: Yeah she’s pretty good with that microscope!
Kenzo: Anyway,…outside? Alone? Whaddya think?
Kaida: Outside is good. Alone is even better.
Kenzo: Hey… great tree….
Kaida: Wanna climb it?
Kenzo: You climb trees too? What am I saying? Of course you do! You’re a force of nature! Sure, let’s climb.
Kenzo: Too bad there’s no snow, huh?
Kaida: Yeah, but we don’t have a white Christmas here very often. At least if it has to be all brown and gray, it’s warm out so we can forget the coats.
Kenzo: Aha! Alone at last and stuck in a tree….
Kaida: C’mon, bet we can climb higher than this!
Kenzo: Should I put the fire company on call? For when you get stuck at the top and can’t get down?
Kaida: Only if they promise to send the cute firemen!
Kenzo: HEY!
Kaida: Just kidding……
Kenzo: Good thing.
Kaida: ….They don’t have any cute firemen on duty – I checked!
Kenzo: Why, I oughtta….
Kaida: Oh pooh. Guess we better climb down instead. It’s starting to rain .
Kenzo: Kaida, you better come down another way. That branch you’re on doesn’t look too sturdy.
Kenzo: Uh-oh…
Kaida: Uh-oh….
Kenzo: Ooooooomf.
Kaida: Ooops I’m really sorry.
Kenzo: It’s okay – can you get up though? There’s a big root right under my …errr… back…. Yeah, that’s it, my back.
