Scene 9
Dome; It is already 4 am, and the storm has ended already, so let's gather our stuff and search for them again this time by boat.
Everyone was worried for Mint and Mark, especially Mint's dad and aunt and Palee. Dome, Mai,Great, Eye, and every other polices went to the dock and started operating boats. This time they decided to search on water 'cause they'd searched on land already.
---------------------------
By the time Mark got inside to check on Mint, she was sleeping cuddling herself like a cub hibernating in the winter. He went to her, and for the first time he notices how beautiful she was due to the fact that they always fought whenever they saw each other. She shivered a bit, so he rubbed his hands together forming heat. He lay his thermal palms on her cheek, then her clasped hands. He know it's wrong, but he can't let her have a fever, so he positioned himself next to her, and would at least keep her from the cold breeze from the settled water and morning weather. Together they feel asleep from a tiring night of forcefulness and quarreling and cries.
------------------------------
Dome; N'Mint! N'Mint!
Mai; P'Mark!
Great&Eye&Taew; Mark and N'Mint, can you guys hear us?!!!!
It was now almost 6 am and there were no sight of Mark and Mint. But Dome insisted on stopping, so they kept searching. Mai is getting cold, so she went and sit on a chair.
Dome; Why are you sitting down?!
Mai; I'm cold. ( As Mai rubbed her hand and clasped them )
Dome; I know it's cold, but we need to work together!
Mai; I am trying my hardest too you know?
Dome; You call this, your hardest?!
Mai; Ugh, just face the fact that we will never find them! We've been searching for them the WHOLE night, and look they're no where to be found!
Dome; It is because we haven't search thoroughly yet!
Mai; Oiih! Stop with your bossy self! I know what I'm doing, it's just that I needed a rest FIRST!
Dome; This is enough. ( As he dragged Mai up and forced her to yell out Mark and Mint's names )
Mai; Let go off me. I will, GOSH!!!!
Dome; Good 'cause if you don't there will be consequences.
Mai angrily went to the other side of the boat to Taew, so she won't get to see the sight of Dome.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was an early breezy morning, and cold Mint woke up. She saw a blurry picture of Mark's face, but thinking it was only an illusion, she fell back to sleep. This time it was cold, so her lazy eyes broke her into reality, and there, she saw Mark's face. But it was different because this time she inspected his face carefully, and all she could think of was that, "He..is handsome". She suddenly wanted to touch his face so bad, but her feathery sneeze startled him. Scared, Mint closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. Mark woke up and saw that Mint was still sleeping.
Mark; She's still asleep. ( Without thinking Mark moved Mint's fringe away from her face ) You know, you're beautiful when you're asleep. ( Mark smiled when he said that, but the thoughts of him and her being enemy, he returned both his smile and hand away)
Mark look outside and it was already early morning, so he went outside. When he exited the door, Mint opened her eyes. She lifted her hand and touched where Mark had touched her hair, and a smile was on her face, as the word "beautiful" kept replaying in her head.
Mint; Oiihh.....Mint what's wrong with you? Stop, stop, stop ( As Mint started hitting her own head )
Mark got back inside and saw Mint hitting her head.
Mark; You're awake? ( That startled Mint )
Mint; Hey, make a sound before you come.
Mark; I did, but it was you that was not aware.
Mint; Because I don't want to pay attention to you.
Mark; You think I want to pay attention to you too?
Mint ignored Mark and started walking outside to get air. Mark followed Mint. Mint went to her pile of wet clothes and search for her phone. She came across her pants and felt something hard, it was her cell.
Mint; My cell!
Mark; Don't be so happy, it's already all wet.
Mint; Heuy! It won't start! ( As Mint said shaking her phone, so all the water would drain out )
Mark; See, I told you. ( As Mark moved closer to Mint )
Mint; Kae.....move back. ( Mint making her hand into a fist and was ready to take action if got any closer)
Mark; You always play hard to get, be careful I might......
Mint; Stop! Don't talk anymore!
Mint tried to turned her phone on, but it wouldn't start.
Mint; Ugh! Stupid phone! Ngow, ngow, ngow!!! ( Frustrated, Mint threw her phone into the water, but when she about to lift her arm the phone went flying towards Mark and hit him.
Mark; NI KHUN! Watch please!
Mint; Who told you stay there anyway!
Mark; Seriously?! ( Mark went to Mint and grabbed her by the wrist )
Mint; Let me go!
Mark; Mai! You think I will tolerate you! No way!
Mint; I don't care! Just let me go! I don't want to touch you!
Dome; Hey! I heard something! Everyone stay quiet! ( And everyone did )
Great; It is like a person yelling or something....
Dome; Chai. Move the boat this way! ( Dome ordered with a weary look )
When they got closer to Mark and Mint Dome called out, and that caught Mint's attention.
Mint; P'Dome! Is that you?! P'Dome!
Mark; They're here.
Mint; If you don't let me go, I will tell P'Dome what you did to me yesterday? ( Mint whispered to Mark )
Mark; Go ahead if you want your family, especially your father to know.
Mint; ( Mark was right, how can she let her father know. He loves her so much. But to oppress him, she replied strongly ) If he knows, he will get you. No matter where you are, or how rich you are. Now let go off me.
Dome saw a yahtzee.
Dome; Mint?! Is that you?!
Mint; P'Dome I'm over here!
They got closer to the yahtzee, and Mint ran to hug Dome as soon as she saw him, and started weeping.
Dome; It's OK, I'm here now. ( Dome soothing Mint )
Mint; P'Dome what took you so long? I want to see dad, aunt, and Palee.
Dome; Go inside the boat and eat. Aren't you hungry?
Mint; Ok.
After Mint went inside, Dome go over to Mark.
Dome; If I know you did anything to her, you will see. ( Dome said to Mark in an angry tone, but Mark didn't care )
Mark; Listen I won't do anything to your property, especially a tom like her. I don't know what type you like, but you don't have taste when it comes to girl.
Mark then went over to Great causing Dome to feel like a fool.
Great; Man.....want to explain why Mint is with you?
Mark; I need fuel.
Great; What? You need some fuel. Hey, don't say that you used up all your manly energy last night? ( Great said gesturing and eyeing his eyebrows Mark)
Mark; What heck are you thinking?
Great; Then what else would you need fuel/energy for?
Mark; My yahtzee.
Great; I got it....and you're lucky we brought some extras.
Mark; Thank you man. ( As Mark hit Great in the shoulder, and went to the back of the boat to get some fuel )
-----------------------------
Eye; Mint, what happened to you last night. Care to explain to me?
Mint; It's nothing, it was a coincidence.
Eye; How can Mark and you stay together?
Mint; He saved me when I was drowning. But the storm kept coming in, and the boat is out of fuel, so we couldn't get to shore.
Eye; Did Mark do anything to you? ( Eye asked awkwardly )
Mint; He didn't do anything to me......
Eye; It's OK, if you don't feel comfortable. Let's just get you home na. ( Eye smiled at Mint and she responded with a nod )
-Bieluvr, it does help ^^
