I Heard You (Part 2)

This play is to be performed right after The Orange.

(Lyla runs back on the stage (after leaving, having given up on the orange) looking frantically for the voice (her hair is tasseled and slightly more disheveled from before)

(the orange is right where she left it)

Lyla: I heard you! Oh aliens! Ha (turning to an empty spot)! Ha (turning behind her to yet another empty spot)!

(Lyla exits through the audience)

(both Aliens leave together, taking the orange with them)

Lyla: (enters from behind the audience, sees that the orange is gone and runs onto the stage) Ha! I knew it!

Benjamin: (enters from the opposite side of the stage from where he left in The Orange (Bum Ba Dum)) Lyla?

(Lyla looks at him with a wicked, insane grin)

Lyla: It’s gone! Ha! Ha! Ha! I knew it!

Benjamin: (skeptically) Lyla, are you okay?

Lyla: I knew I unlocked it!

Benjamin: unlocked what?

Lyla: the ORANGE! (looking at Benjamin inquisitively)

Benjamin: (worried) Lyla, maybe it’s time for you to go home. (taking Lyla gently by the arm) Come one.

Lyla: No!

Benjamin: Lyla, you got to stop this. Come on, I’m gonna take you home.

(Benjamin takes Lyla offstage as gently as he can without hurting her)

(Alien 1 & 2, reenter laughing and place the orange back on the ground and exit)

Lyla: (offstage) Did you hear it!? Ben, come on! (runs onto the stage with Benjamin a little behind, and sees the orange) Wow.

Benjamin: Huh…

(the orange has become blue with a strange silver writing)

Curtain.
