STORIES

9 - The Gift  w Daprima, Grace, Noli, Mez, Cammeo & Fin

2004

'Twas the night before Thanksgiving ...

DAPRIMA:

Hello, I'm home!

GRACE:

Oh Daprima, I missed you so much. It hasn't been the same without you here to listen to my stories. You must 

promise never to go away again.

DAPRIMA:

My little chatter-box, it’s so nice to hear your voice again. 

You'll have to catch me up on everything that’s happened.


GRACE:

OK. First you have to meet Noli.

DAPRIMA:

I've had sweet dreams of you.


NOLI:

Hi, me Noli.


DAPRIMA:

Yes I know, and it's so nice to meet you.

MEZ:

Hey Daprima, this is Cammeo.

DAPRIMA:

Actually, Cammeo and I have been on 'speaking terms’

long before she arrived here.


GRACE:

You mean you don't hear music when she talks to you, like I do?

Then, tell me what she's saying right now. 


DAPRIMA:

She says you cheat at cards.


GRACE: 

I do not! Besides, she never saw me. 

MEZ:

Welcome home sis.


DAPRIMA:

Thank you little brother. What's this?

You've pierced your ear.

DAPRIMA:

…Where's Fin and Karanthir?


MEZ:

A-m put Karanthir in a bowl to keep him safe.

That head was scaring Noli.


GRACE:

Fin was here a minute ago. I wonder where he went.

FIN:

Here I am. I have a gift for you Daprima.

GRACE:

You got her a present? Did you get me one too?


MEZ:

I think it's time we go outside.


GRACE:

But I want to see what it is, yes I do.


MEZ:
Later.

DAPRIMA:

Fin, you didn't have to get me anything.


FIN:

I know, but I wanted something special in honor of your

homecoming. Go on, open it.

DAPRIMA:

It's a butterfly!

FIN:

When I saw it, I thought of you. I know how much you 

love them. Let me put it on you.

DAPRIMA:

I love it. I really appreciate how you're always thinking of me. 

It's great to be home with my family again, and my one and only Fin.
