By Bonnie PachecoPublished 4 years ago 3 min read

Narrator: Contrary to movies and books Tomour still had nightmares from the time of her captivity. So her friend Jeni got her a special stone. It was a healing stone to help her sleep and feel better. This is the quiet summer after Brein, Jeni brother's summer stay in Wainaku, Hawaii on the Big Island of Hawaii and in between the start his first year of Ellsworth Academy. It would be Jeni's second year at the school located in New York City.

Scene One: Jeni's house in Kailua, Hawaii. She is on the phone talking to her friend Tomour from school.

Jeni: Did you get the stone?

Tomour: Yes, thank you Jeni!

Jeni: You are welcome. Just wear it near your heart and it will heal you by the power of Jesus.

Tomour: Thank you again Jeni.

Jeni: Hold on, I got a call.

Malika: Hi Jeni.

Jeni: Oh hi Malika. Tomour is on the line. Hey, Malika how are you doing?

Malika: Better since I got the stone necklace you gave me.

Tomour: You got a stone necklace too?

Jeni: We all did. Malika has Clarity. I have Peace and you, Tomour has Serenity.

Malika and Tomour: Thanks Jeni!

Karole (Jeni's mom) Jeni has to get off the phone and do her chores.

Jeni: Bye guys, talk to you later.

Malika and Tomour: Bye.

Jeni: Sorry mom.

Scene 1 and a 1/2: Brein is in the home hammering Jeni's shoe into her bedroom wall as she does her chores.

Brein: (laughing) Oh good times! Such good times!

Scene Two: Jeni is talking to her grandmother Halen in Japanese. Because she went to Japanese language school as a young child. She finished her chores. And found her shoe on her bedroom wall.

Jeni: Yes, Grandmother I am fine.

Grandmother Halen: Is Brein being a good boy?

Jeni: Not so far. I'm wondering when the other shoe will fall.

Grandmother Halen: What, Jeni?

Jeni: Never mind. Thanks for the money for the stone pendants Grandma.

Grandmother Halen: You're welcome, Jeni.

Scene Three: Jeni is talking to her cousin Jazman on the phone. Jazman lives on the Big Island and belongs to a magical family of Mormons.

Jazman: So, no nightmares? (meaning Tomour.)

Jeni: Not so far.

Jazman: Good! Give it a month for full strength.

Jeni: Okay.

Jazman: Jeni, you sure you're mom is okay with this?

Jeni: I'm so sure she would be.

Jazman: Hey, I got to get some rest. Take care Jeni.

Jeni: Take care Jazman and thanks again for ordering the stone pendant necklaces for us. Bye.

Scene Four: Father Alroy is talking to his daughter Jeni, the next day at the breakfast table. Mom Karole is in the kitchen cleaning up. Brother Brein is waiting to be excused from the table.

Alroy: That's a pretty pendant Jeni. Did mom get it for you?

Jeni: No Grandma Halen did.

Alroy: In fact, I think it is glowing... Is this a magical pendant Jeni?

Jeni: Um yes. But it was for a good cause.

Alroy: So you bought this with mom's permission then?

Jeni: Technically no. But I knew mom would approve.

Karole: Did someone mention my name.

Alroy: We will discuss this later Jeni. Your mom and me need to talk. Did you give anyone a pendant too?

Jeni: Yes, my two friends. But we needed it after all that happened Dad.

Alroy: We'll discuss this later.

Brein: (laughing) Hah, you're in trouble now! You're such a good girl!

Scene Five: Jeni is in her room talking to Bejindda her fairy. Bejindda is out of her glass enclosed house. Becuase fairies are so tiny, Jeni wears special glasses to see her.

Jeni: I know mom and dad are mad Bejindda, but it's for a good cause.

Bejindda: Don't worry Jeni. Everything will work out. (Fairies can see the future so Jeni is reassured.)

Scene Six: It is dinner time the same day. Same kitchen table different time. The family is sitting at the table.

Alroy: You're excused Brein.

Brein: Oh man I wanted to see this...

Alroy: Your mother and I talked and felt you should not be punished. Because here's what you did right Kiddo. You thought of someone other than yourself. But here's where you messed up. You did not consult mom or me about purchasing magic pendants from Jazman without permission. Magic is used as a tool not to solve problems Jeni. I thought we discussed this before.

Jeni: You're totally right dad and mom.

Jeni getting up to leave.

Alroy: Hold on we have some homework for you so you don't forget your lesson. Write 50 times a day. I will use magic for good only as an aid. For a month.

Jeni: Ah, dad. Okay. (leaves table)

Karole: I love you.

Alroy: I love you too. (fade out)

The end.
