Grace Mez Io
Friday afternoon ...
GRACE:
from outside the door
Me-ezzz ...
MEZ:
What?
GRACE:
There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you, yes I have.
MEZ:
How many times do I have to tell you not to come in my room?
GRACE:
But this is an emergency. I can’t find that book. You know the vampire
one, and I'm tired of looking for it, yes I am. There are no clues and it’s
so boring looking for something without clues. Have you found it?
MEZ:
Not yet. I never asked for your help.
GRACE:
But I like to help. I'm a helpful person, yes I am. Isn't that right, Io?
Remember when I taught you how to read?
IO:
Yes Miss Grace.
GRACE:
And now I'm going to help you in a big way. It's so big you're
going to find that book right now. I would have found it
already, except I'm not allowed to – but you are.
MEZ:
What are you talking about?
GRACE:
I just told you, weren't you listening? I'm here to solve
the mystery of the lost book, yes I am.
MEZ:
How?
GRACE:
Io!
IO:
Yes Miss Grace?
GRACE:
I wasn't calling you Io, I was telling Mez what to do.
GRACE:
... Don't you get it? Just wish Io to show you where
the book is. Why do you look so surprised? I told you
I could solve this and I did. So what's the problem?
MEZ:
I hate magic.
GRACE:
Oh stop being such a big chicken and just do it. I'd love to do it,
yes I would - but Daprima wished Io not to grant my wishes, again.
She's such a spoil sport, yes she is. So it's up to you.
MEZ:
It could work. Io, is there any way this could backfire on me?
IO:
The genie doesn’t understand the question.
MEZ:
Right - but I’ve looked everywhere,
and now with Zyfan getting hurt …
GRACE:
Io get into your wish-granting position.
MEZ:
I need to be specific with my wording …
GRACE:
You’re thinking too much. Just wish it.
MEZ:
Io, I wish to know where the book that Qualina wrote about
vampires, that Racolo lost - is located - right now.
