T.O.T.S.- The Bully Problem - The Script

ACT 2: Scene 4

NARRATOR: Pip rolled his eyes, cheeks burning, but he didn't respond. He knew it was fruitless to argue. She would only think little of him. He wasn't afraid of predators. Why did she believe that? Just then, Krysia came to the room.

KRYSIA: (came in the room) Captain Beakman! (panting)

CAPTAIN BEAKMAN: (looking concerned) Krysia, what happened?

KRYSIA: (took a few seconds to catch her breath) Can... Can I talk to you in your office? (leaning against the door, trying to catch her breath)

CAPTAIN BEAKMAN: Yes. (stood up, looked over at pip) Pip, you gonna be alright?

NARRATOR: Pip didn't want to say anything based on how he felt so he nodded politely. Krysia walked away and Captain Beakman followed. Pip flopped on his bed. Krysia remembered she had to give Pip a water so she told Captain Beakman that she'd meet her in her office in a couple minutes. Krysia quickly went back to Pip's room and handed him a cup of ice cold water and an apple. She noticed Pip hadn't been coming to meals as of late. And he was looking dangerously thin, for a penguin. She wanted to talk with him but she had to talk to Captain Beakman. She hoped that Pip was okay. She hoped.

NARRATOR: Krysia wandered to Captain Beakman's office. She had to tell her what she had just heard about what Hunter was telling Freddy while they were making a delivery. Hunter was telling more lies about Pip to Freddy and Krysia has had enough of it. She wanted this situation to be over with. She knocked on Captain Beakman's door. Captain Beakman gestured for her to come in. She was already at her desk, Krysia took a seat.

CAPTAIN BEAKMAN: What do you want to tell me, Krysia? (crossing her wings on her desk)

KRYSIA: I heard something when I was watching Hunter.

CAPTAIN BEAKMAN: Why were you watching Hunter? You didn't have to do that.

NARRATOR: She didn't understand why Krysia was watching her newest flier, but she would hear it soon enough.

KRYSIA: Because he actually is bullying Pip. He's telling lies about Pip and Freddy and spreading them all over T.O.T.S. I've seen and heard all that he has done to Pip and he is still continuing it. You need to do something about it. The sooner the better. And this has to stop.

NARRATOR: Krysia is trying her hardest to make Captain Beakman believe her. Pip's innocent! So is Freddy! They would never want to make each other mad, or whatever! They're best friends! And they belong together as a team! While Captain Beakman was listening to all Krysia was saying, she looked quite surprised, and serious.

CAPTAIN BEAKMAN: Krysia, I get that you are looking out for them both and that's great, but I can tell you, Hunter would never hurt anyone. He's a good flier. (put a wing on krysia's hand)

NARRATOR: Krysia knew what she was doing and it's not working on her. She's taking Hunter's side and making Pip and Freddy become useless. To each other, and themselves.

KRYSIA: Hunter's not a good flier! He's being mean to Pip, spreading lies about Pip and Freddy, and trying to make everyone get on his side! And you think that what you are trying to do to make things better right now is actually helping?! It's not! You're making Pip feel like he's nothing and making him feel completely hopeless! I talked to him! I know you're trying to help him, and well, I'm not sure if it is actually working. The only thing that would help him is to get on his side and help make this situation be done with and make everything around here go back to normal. Do you know what I'm saying? (looking straight at captain beakman)

NARRATOR: Captain Beakman knew and understood all that Krysia was saying. She knows Krysia wants everything to get back to how it was before and to make Pip and Freddy talk to each other again, without Hunter getting in the way and making everything worse.
