No Plagiarism!Y2KyHR8LeQkXR4kPVBkVposted on PENANA I'll be posting the play adaptation of the original story. I will be posting the final chapter of Our Love From The Moon very soon.8964 copyright protection523PENANASjKeE474XQ 維尼
DISCLAIMER: I had to write this one-act play for my theater class, so some parts have been scrapped due to length, and as an extra challenge to myself, I left out the werewolves (I did add a few characters to make up for this). It feels like a whole new story to me, but since this is the inspiration, it feels only fair to share it.8964 copyright protection523PENANAbo5muWYTpZ 維尼

PRINCE AURTHER II8964 copyright protection523PENANA1mAOpbdZtl 維尼
You little rat. That is my painting!8964 copyright protection523PENANAziHF4eWmj8 維尼

KING AURTHER I8964 copyright protection523PENANAevs8bqD8uC 維尼
[Whispers to himself.] Mostly your painting… I use it from time to time.8964 copyright protection523PENANAfaTmO8OG31 維尼
ABIGAIL8964 copyright protection523PENANAhBSQ65KqTZ 維尼
You left it just hanging there…8964 copyright protection523PENANA5kGuK7zszF 維尼
PRINCE AURTHER II8964 copyright protection523PENANACcOl2jH2BN 維尼
In my room behind locked doors… and guards!8964 copyright protection523PENANAT1SOH8Ql7V 維尼
[PRINCE AURTHER III runs on stage out of breath.]8964 copyright protection523PENANA3Z9yDVUl89 維尼

ABIGAIL8964 copyright protection523PENANAKsXsbftcUH 維尼
It’s okay Art, they caught me red handed.8964 copyright protection523PENANAjJ5THvr1Hy 維尼
KING AURTHER I8964 copyright protection523PENANAbVtbEQJBTb 維尼
So, you admit to stealing the painting?8964 copyright protection523PENANAqffhrbUH1T 維尼
ABIGAIL8964 copyright protection523PENANAmu542fC5JD 維尼
[She sighs then stands up.]8964 copyright protection523PENANAYpe9QH4yyu 維尼
How else would I have it?8964 copyright protection523PENANAGneIW6Zevj 維尼
PRINCE AURTHER II8964 copyright protection523PENANAah9cOqqP1U 維尼
Do you think its okay to talk to your grandfather like that?8964 copyright protection523PENANAgA0OaWW11r 維尼
[Walking closer to ABIGAIL.]8964 copyright protection523PENANAQSJmQMrJ7P 維尼
You never give us any respect!8964 copyright protection523PENANApHBH7mRDw9 維尼
[Grabbing ABIGAIL by the arm.]8964 copyright protection523PENANAGGBpAsDrOt 維尼
Do you even know what respect is?8964 copyright protection523PENANAOJvna9BpsS 維尼

Let’s go Aurther, I think you proved long ago that you weren’t capable of the self-8964 copyright protection523PENANAgapZSqnAOT 維尼
restraint needed to discipline a woman. I don’t think you want your son watching another 8964 copyright protection523PENANARviLCxM6HK 維尼

PRINCE AURTHER III8964 copyright protection523PENANAY6jWsRA45a 維尼
Its no big deal, she just stole a painting of some lady. I don’t even know why you have 8964 copyright protection523PENANA7cjgHh4Rts 維尼
that painting anyway.8964 copyright protection523PENANA2tUVNpw9D7 維尼
PRINCE AURTHER II8964 copyright protection523PENANA7k5y6RZ9Ey 維尼
No big deal? She made a fool out of the entire royal family in front of the whole 8964 copyright protection523PENANAhFAssrCKFh 維尼

KING AURTHER I8964 copyright protection523PENANAdws0EnPZxq 維尼
This is more serious than that. 8964 copyright protection523PENANAjzz3iwGkJ7 維尼
ABIGAIL8964 copyright protection523PENANAILZuILhEW5 維尼
If its so important to you, why don’t you try to find my -so called- accomplice yourself?8964 copyright protection523PENANAy7Ap68ETf5 維尼
PRINCE AURTHER II8964 copyright protection523PENANAjC5rhQueUl 維尼
We just might, even if we have to visit every house personally.8964 copyright protection523PENANA3NTIV6jkv6 維尼
KING AURTHER I8964 copyright protection523PENANAz1zfpEPjex 維尼
I think we will do that… Arty, you’ll be coming with us. Aiding in the theft of royal 8964 copyright protection523PENANAexRNayIDfC 維尼
property is a very serious offence. Very serious indeed.8964 copyright protection523PENANAvC83HS7Y0y 維尼
PRINCE AURTHER II8964 copyright protection523PENANAEzC7SvpkBt 維尼
And I’ll be taking that back.8964 copyright protection523PENANA7dHuNZiaCA 維尼

So? In the words of grandperv, [Making her voice deeper.] “I’m royalty, I’m above the law.”8964 copyright protection523PENANAyWoj9O3JAJ 維尼
[PRINCE AURTHER III puts one hand on ABIGAIL’S shoulder and gives a worried expression.]8964 copyright protection523PENANANN0YIWZQTx 維尼
It will be fine; besides, you’re next in line for king and I trust you with my life.8964 copyright protection523PENANAgyAM6nmbKF 維尼
PRINCE AURTHER III8964 copyright protection523PENANAk3Tq9K2fdJ 維尼
Ignoring the fact that I’m not king yet, how do you know that she even likes you? I 8964 copyright protection523PENANA1T4qvgrghS 維尼
mean… did you like… kiss… or something?8964 copyright protection523PENANAXHrXC8Jb36 維尼

PRINCE AURTHER III8964 copyright protection523PENANAjFtJUZ6WW8 維尼
[Embarrassed.] I’m just asking because I don’t want any guy... or gal to break your heart.8964 copyright protection523PENANA4jA98bAGRQ 維尼
ABIGAIL8964 copyright protection523PENANACylrZFAhaT 維尼
It’s not your job to protect me.8964 copyright protection523PENANAVXurti11r7 維尼
PRINCE AURTHER III8964 copyright protection523PENANAcAEhCLdlUu 維尼
No one else is here to do it. You need someone you can count on.8964 copyright protection523PENANADvneB0osoN 維尼

Fine, I guess I can tell you.8964 copyright protection523PENANAUFB1VfPZka 維尼

Yeah, yeah, that’s what I thought you said.8964 copyright protection523PENANATOyLbLinZV 維尼
[Deep breath.]8964 copyright protection523PENANA4jJxVDvVxo 維尼
Are you insane! What are you going to do when she finds out? What are you going to do 8964 copyright protection523PENANAdERWsxerns 維尼
when Father and Grandfather find out?8964 copyright protection523PENANAH2d2iVGqBm 維尼
ABIGAIL8964 copyright protection523PENANA7eMur2ixtK 維尼
She was masked. And they have no idea that I like her.8964 copyright protection523PENANAuW5dEhq218 維尼
PRINCE AURTHER III8964 copyright protection523PENANANvetdUvYjA 維尼
We are going to every single house tomorrow. They are going to find out.8964 copyright protection523PENANA8tSkuib7ge 維尼
ABIGAIL8964 copyright protection523PENANAxQVulJDsSS 維尼
That’s where you come in. Since you are going, make sure they don’t suspect her.8964 copyright protection523PENANADN9v8iFEih 維尼
PRINCE AURTHER III8964 copyright protection523PENANAG3463lqDVM 維尼
Lying to our father and grandfather? Abigail you are bound to be the death of me.8964 copyright protection523PENANAEmqXJAVeiw 維尼

Scene Four8964 copyright protection523PENANAY6L83tFhVk 維尼
[Lights come up to a farm house living room. The mask OLIVIA was wearing at the ball is hanging somewhere in the room. There is a loud knock from off stage and MOTHER rushes on stage whipping her hands on her apron.]8964 copyright protection523PENANAElz5808R6q 維尼

[He looks around and notices the mask. He quickly walks to the mask and grabs it down 8964 copyright protection523PENANA4AEQNiL0dX 維尼
to hide it behind his back. He then grabs a small knickknack that is close by.]8964 copyright protection523PENANANBVv4E3g4s 維尼

No, I left early because I wasn’t feeling well.8964 copyright protection523PENANAe9EVSM8MZP 維尼

You come back home last night on cloud nine, hours after the ball finished, then I get a 8964 copyright protection523PENANA8PvDxDZpll 維尼
visit from the whole royal family where the youngest member [she goes to the couch and 8964 copyright protection523PENANAIxlPuZeNtJ 維尼

It was the day of the Moonlight Ball. I had spent hours beforehand making sure 8964 copyright protection523PENANAtj1bK5hCXI 維尼
everything was perfect. My dress, my makeup, my shoes, the ring. Well, you get it. This was a once in a life time dance. 8964 copyright protection523PENANAT7Fda6OBCJ 維尼
[Lights brighten up the stage and we can see all the characters dressed in ball gowns and8964 copyright protection523PENANAxk0DsejqiO 維尼
tuxedos. The room is a huge ballroom with no roof. A huge full moon shines down on the 8964 copyright protection523PENANA5RiB46KaGF 維尼
characters. ARABELLA and YOUNG MOTHER are closer to the corner away from everyone else. KING AURTHER I is standing on a small stage with his arm around an uncomfortable8964 copyright protection523PENANATIYbakZpJ2 維尼
looking PRINCE AURTHER II. Everyone looks to be mingling.]8964 copyright protection523PENANAECUUp2RmTn 維尼
ARABELLA8964 copyright protection523PENANAlUZqy4CkQh 維尼
[Sigh.] I’ve never understood this dance. Why throw a party for a bunch of kids? They 8964 copyright protection523PENANATLphNt2utl 維尼
will forget about us tomorrow anyway.8964 copyright protection523PENANAyfNScl4nY8 維尼

YOUNG MOTHER 8964 copyright protection523PENANA3juxyrqVfF 維尼
Don’t say that. After today we can work. Then we can save for a farm. When we move away from the city, we can live however we want.8964 copyright protection523PENANAnG7FkIWkFz 維尼

KING AURTHER I8964 copyright protection523PENANAgZHIWW8Ziv 維尼
[Addressing everyone.] Good evening everyone. Its my pleasure to host the Moonlight 8964 copyright protection523PENANAHu8DxrFyyB 維尼
Ball every year for the graduating class. But this year is special. This year [Pauses so he 8964 copyright protection523PENANAQYarmspYG0 維尼
can pull a shy PRINCE AURTHER II on stage and put his arm around him.] I am 8964 copyright protection523PENANAZG071mGbWK 維尼
personally involved. My brilliant son has graduated at the top of his class. Tonight, he 8964 copyright protection523PENANAS8bx7X4bE0 維尼
will pick the woman that will rule by his side. I have no doubt that he will pick the most 8964 copyright protection523PENANAfLUT7nx9pq 維尼
beautiful and accommodating woman here. [Pause for effect.] Now, eat! Drink! Dance!8964 copyright protection523PENANATQ57WeQomn 維尼

KING AURTHER I8964 copyright protection523PENANAEDmntvJTLX 維尼
You don’t speak to your father like that. I don’t care how many times I repeat something.8964 copyright protection523PENANAem2TF6hIOU 維尼
Your answer is always ‘Yes, Father.’8964 copyright protection523PENANAUARhetC4t1 維尼

PRINCE AURTHER II8964 copyright protection523PENANASABBCtbj19 維尼
Arabella was the most beautiful lady in my class, but she hasn’t dated anyone. She turns 8964 copyright protection523PENANAJ4W7oITZgJ 維尼
everyone down.8964 copyright protection523PENANAtkLBrquoQZ 維尼

licks his lips hungerly.]8964 copyright protection523PENANAztvIj2RRI9 維尼
You must be Arabella. My son told me you were beautiful, but he neglected to mention 8964 copyright protection523PENANA0Q7beqXZ1H 維尼
that you are also charming.8964 copyright protection523PENANA086lj8hq7u 維尼
ARABELLA8964 copyright protection523PENANAQPMTXZOFci 維尼
Thank you, my king. For what do we owe the pleasure?8964 copyright protection523PENANA2pURImYpRt 維尼

What do you mean?8964 copyright protection523PENANATBQQquiDL6 維尼
KING AURTHER I8964 copyright protection523PENANAos07elDIPd 維尼
I wouldn’t have you marrying any of these other men when I could have your beauty for 8964 copyright protection523PENANAiD8RRyBEEO 維尼
my own. [Clears his throat.] That is to say, for my son.8964 copyright protection523PENANAtkH71nbyJy 維尼

No matter how many plans you have for the future, you can never be prepared for the 8964 copyright protection523PENANAEZpKBy81PI 維尼
selfishness of others. I didn’t speak to Arabella until almost a year later. She sent me a8964 copyright protection523PENANAwLithdZuMn 維尼
secret letter asking to meet at midnight in the ballroom. Even now, I wouldn’t trade that 8964 copyright protection523PENANATy2cvObKl1 維尼

YOUNG MOTHER8964 copyright protection523PENANAr4KPVYpWxq 維尼
I’ve been working at the bank. In a few months I’ll have enough saved to apply for a8964 copyright protection523PENANAYv8WKUqsva 維尼
loan. It’ll be just enough for a small plot of land about a mile from the outskirts of the 8964 copyright protection523PENANAZasBpb70HJ 維尼

MOTHER8964 copyright protection523PENANAK5OLBMius2 維尼
I should have pleaded for her to come with me. I should have pushed harder. I should 8964 copyright protection523PENANAUGY7zTkdSw 維尼
have known that something was wrong. Then maybe she would still be here. They said 8964 copyright protection523PENANARjV7SVHfM4 維尼
her body was mangled beyond recognition, almost like she fought off a pack of lions. The 8964 copyright protection523PENANAiNpwlE1UA7 維尼
official cause? Childbirth. Its “why her daughter was so sickly” they’d say. My only 8964 copyright protection523PENANAVPQyZEBrYI 維尼
comfort is knowing she gave them hell until the very end. Don’t sit by and watch as you 8964 copyright protection523PENANAasaHYLHqiV 維尼
loose Abigail. Do what I didn’t have the guts to do. Go out there and fight for the person 8964 copyright protection523PENANAWxB0yVp9W0 維尼
