TRAIN NAME - CHIME EXPRESS

Gwen: Georg, I heard you have alot of money, and then you sent us on a train that was so dusty and old. It looked cheap.

Georg: wait who are you bro? Have we ever met before?

Gwen: Oh, dammit, didn't Laura introduce me to you all?

Max: Never.

Gwen: Alright, this is Gwen, the famous makeup artist 😄

Max: You're Laura's makeup artist, right? Oh yes I heard from her that one of her makeup artist will be joining us!

Georg: And then she's questioning my wealth, LOL.

LAUGHS

Gwen: Excuse me? I am not Laura's makeup artist. I am the TOP most famous makeup artist in the world you idiot!

PIXIE STEPS IN-

Pixie: Oh, hi Gwen. It's nice to finally meet you , laura told me alot about you. She said you're her regular makeup artist, is that true?

Gwen: I do her makeup because she's my friend, not as a business. You guys might've some kind of misunderstanding ig.

Max: Anyways, it's nice to meet you.

HORACE INVADES IN-

Horace: Guys, hear me out. No airlines are up today for Bruch, so we have to manage here with this train!

Pixie: That's fine, but why this old hack? It really looks cheap and very old. I don't think anyone even travels here.

Horace: Pixie, there are 500 passengers on this train along with us. 🥰

Gwen: As if, but I know better trains, which are luxurious and have an expensive corner.

Pixie: Who travels on trains like these? I would never.

Georg: Omg then stay home why bother coming?

Pixie: (gives him a side eye)

Horace: Who am I even trying to explain right now? (Rolls eyes and sighs)

Gwen: But how would I travel here? And more importantly, I know Laura would never.

Georg: She will since andrew has suggested this train!

Pixie: yes exactly (laughs)

ON HORACE SIDE-

Gwen: (Went towards Horace)

Horace: (Checking his phone)

Gwen: Umm, Horace?

Horace: Yes? Any help?

Gwen: Umm... (blushes) You're really handsome. I hope you won't mind if I asked you for your number?

Horace: I'm not sure that would be the best use of my time. Let's explore other options.

(Turns direction)

Gwen: (Embarrassed)

MUSE STEPS IN-

Muse: Oh, you're all here already? Am I late?

Horace: No muse don't worry we all arrived a couple few minutes ago.

Muse : Glad to hear that! What about the rest?

Gwen: There comes Laura.

LAURA-

Laura: Hello everyone it's really nice to meet you all here after such a long time.

Muse: Oh , Hi Laura. It's great to see you too.

Pixie : Ya same. (smiles)

Georg: What about the others?

Laura: What about Andrew? Where's he?

Horace: He's on his way here, Just a few more minutes.

Laura: OK!

Gwen: Laura, let's go we'll search out our seats inside?

Muse: No wait. I'll go and check out the seats. You girls wait here. You come, Pixie.

Pixie: Ya sure let's go.

Horace: I'll go and call Drake. (Left)

Pixie: Fine. And what's our box number?

Georg: It's actually 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 41, 42, and 43.

Gwen: WTF, man!

Pixie: By that, are we sitting separately?

Georg: Yeah, but don't worry. The boxes are next to one another.

While the group discuss about their seats, laura seems a bit concerned.

Laura: Let me go and call Andrew... (Leave)

Georg: Oh look, there she is! Max!

Max: Hello, brothers!

Gwen: Why did you leave when you were already here?

Max: I went to check our tickets.

Gwen: Oh.

Georg: Where's my cousin though?

Max: You're bringing your cousin along?

Georg: Yeah, my mom said only if she'll tag along with me, she's going to allow this trip.

Laura: You're so dependent on your parents, even at this age. Weird.

Gwen: Yes, I heard, Georg. You don't have any jobs, all you do is waste your dad's money!

Georg: Funny, but yeah, I do spend my dad's wealth when he's got it all. Why should I struggle?

Max: Argh, leave it. What about others? Where are they at? The train is about to start!

Georg: Drake and Andrew were to come.

Max: There comes our Andrew.

ANDREW-

Andrew: Where's Horace?

Horace: (walks in) Andrew, I almost got a heart attack! I thought you were going to ditch us.

Georg: So why should that be giving you a heart attack? Not like Andrew attended any of the previous trips we planned. (laughs)

Max: (laughs) I know, right? But fun fact, he planned this one. I was shocked and moved.

Andrew: It's not just me. When did Horace show up to any of your plans?

Horace: But I keep them updated, bro. You literally ghosted them! (Laughs) 😂🤌

Georg: Exactly.

Max: And Horace is doing obstetrics study, so we got him. But you, my boy?

Andrew: alright, My bad.

Georg: ya let's leave it atleast he reached out to us for this trip

Max: Gwen this is Andrew (points out to him)

Gwen: hi Andre.....

LAURA PUSHES GWEN AWAY AND RUNS UPTO HIM-

Laura: oh hi Andrew (with a smile)

Gwen: Ouch!

Andrew: (startled) Oh, hi Laura.

Laura: where were you all these years? I missed you...

Andrew: (takes and deep breath and then)- busy with my astronomy study but how were you all these years?

Laura: (blushes and feeling overwhelm) I am fine and luckily I have become a international model so..

Andrew: Congratulations on that! I saw you on TV at the Miss Universe pageant last year; you placed second, right?

Laura: (embarrassed and defensive) Honestly, I should've placed first, but you know how it is – sometimes politics play a role, and, well, let's just say some people are more... persuasive with their wallets.

Pixie: No but she was pretty too.

Laura: (gives her a rolling eyes)

HORACE-

Horace: Drake informed me he'll be boarding the train at the next station, so let's not wait for him. We should go ahead.

Andrew: Alright, let's get moving.

Georg: Wait, my cousin still hasn't arrived.

Gwen: Who's that petite girl, anyway? (Points out to a figure moving towards them)

Teenage Girl: Your mom.

Georg: Ah, there she is – my cousin Lucie.

Laura: THIS IS GETTING GOOD

Horace: Hi Lucie!

Lucie: Hi Horace, hi Andrew! Heard my bro was right – you two are actually tolerable.

Andrew: Hey kiddo. (smirks)

Gwen: Wait, did she just call me out? Like, literally CALL ME OUT! A min ago??

Laura: Yeah, and you didn't even realize it was a burn. Slick one, kid.

Lucie: (smirks)

Horace: Guys, muse texted – we got seats. Let's roll.

Andrew: Alright, let's go.

Georg: THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!

Lucie: Andrew, you're so hot...

Georg: Um, Lucie?

Andrew: Thanks, kid. (winks) ANDREW WALKS OFF

Lucie: TALL, LIGHT SKIN, GREEK GOD BODY AND HANDSOME – MY DREAM GUY!

Laura: Your cousin's got spunk, Georg!

Lucie: Better than being a plastic. ANYWAY...

HORACE JUST WALKS AWAY LIKE HE DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING

Laura: EXCUSE ME?! DID SHE JUST SAY THAT TO ME?!

Gwen: How dare she?!

Georg: Sorry, guys. Lucie's a bit of a wild child.

INSIDE -

Lucie: Alright, we have three boxes. The first one has 2 seats, the second one has 5, and the last one has 3 seats left.

Muse: So, guys, how are we going to be seated?

Lucie: Oh, hi cutie. I am Georg's cousin. (Smiles flirtatiously)

Pixie: Little girl, he's taken. Be careful with the flirting.

Lucie: (rolls her eyes, disappointed) Anyway, what about the sitting arrangements?

Horace: If anyone wants a change, just let me know. Everyone else, listen up for the sitting plan.

Laura: Alright.

Horace: The first box: Georg and Drake. The second one: me, Andrew, Laura, Muse, and Lucie.

Lucie: Cool.

Pixie: But I want to sit next to Muse!

Laura: No, it's final. The arrangements won't change.

Gwen: No, I also want to sit with Laura.

Laura: Gwen, SHUT UP! (serious face)

Gwen: (scared) Whoa, chill...

Laura: I think the arrangements are perfect. I don't mind. (smiles graciously)

Andrew: Still, I don't think we should separate the couples. I'll just move to the next box.

Muse: No, Andrew, you don't have to.

Lucie: Oh, come on, guys, use your heads! We still have 3 empty seats left in box 2.

Horace: Those aren't ours.

Georg: No problem, we'll just crash the party. (laughs)

Andrew: Not happening. No way.

Horace: Yes, Georg, don't even think about it.

Pixie: (sulking) Alright, fine. I'll sit separately.

Muse: (sad) I don't want to upset Pixie. She needs some quality time with me.

Georg: (jokingly) You guys can hang out all day and still need THE NIGHT? Get a grip.

Muse: (sighs)

Laura: Let's not debate this further.

Muse: Fine, I don't have a problem with the arrangements either.

Pixie: Fine, me too.

Max: What about me?

Horace: You, Pixie, and Chen go to the third box.

Gwen: It's Gwen... (embarrassed)

Horace: Oh, sorry about that.

Andrew: Is everyone okay with this?

EVERYONE AGREES.
