Orko's Vacation

(Furaha, Orko, Kiburi and Ua are outside the house. Orko is carrying a knapsack over his shoulder, ready for his trip to Australia.)

KIBURI: Go on, Furaha. Say goodbye.

(Furaha steps up to Orko)

FURAHA: Orko, why do you have to leave?

ORKO: I'm not leaving, Furaha, I'm going on vacation to live with your Aunt Marnie in Australia. I'll be your cousin, Furaha.

FURAHA: Will you take lots of photos?

ORKO: I sure will.

FURAHA: But...what if you don't make it?

ORKO: It'll always be me who looks out for you inside, Furaha. No matter where you go, how many friends you make or what you do, you'll always be my little sister.

FURAHA: And you'll always be my big brother, right?

ORKO: I will.

(Furaha and Orko hug tight, crying)

UA: Look at the time! You'll miss your plane if you don't hurry up.

ORKO: Oh! I'd best head off. Goodbye everyone - and thank you, Furaha!

FURAHA/KIBURI/UA: Goodbye Orko!

FURAHA: Thank you, Orko!

(Orko sets off into the sunset. Furaha begins to cry, huddled by her father's side. Fade into the living room, where Ua and Kiburi comfort and crying Furaha)

KIBURI: It's okay, my little Majuju flower, we'll see him again soon.

UA: Do you think you can manage more future adventures on your own?

FURAHA: Yeah....yeah.

KIBURI: That's the spirit. And you still have your puppy, Rocky.

(Rocky leaps up to Furaha and licks her. She laughs in delight)

UA: Get down, Rocky.

KIBURI: Good boy! Now, Furaha, do you know why I brought this box out?

FURAHA: I think I know why - Orko put his medallion in so I can wear it might he go away.

KIBURI: You got that right, Furaha. I'm letting you wear it just in case you miss him. And you have that picture of you and Orko near your big bed, right?

FURAHA: Yeah.

KIBURI: You can talk to him...

(In Furaha's bedroom, Furaha is talking to Orko in the picture of her and Orko)

FURAHA: ...every night, and we'll always Zoom call each other. Someday, we'll be married and have hideous hybrid abominations of our own. Promise?

Silence.

FURAHA: Yeah. I promise.

(Furaha turns off the light and drifts off to sleep.)
