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 sooo boring looking for something without any clues. Have you found it?
MEZ:
No, but I will after I finish my homework. I never asked for your help anyway.
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 that – 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 do you want Grace?
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 to you Io, I was telling Mez what to do.
GRACE:
... Don't you get it? It's as plain as the nose on your face, yes it is. 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:
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:
I guess it could work. Io is there any way this could backfire on me?
IO:
MEZ:
I just don’t want anything to go wrong, 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 say it.
MEZ:
Io, I wish to know where the book that Qualina wrote about vampires, that Racolo lost - is located - right now.
