KATY Alie ? May I have a word with you? ALIE (Cheerful) Of course! Tiia and Gideon are busy trying to decipher my vision, Gwyn is busy working on a new invention – but he wouldn’t tell me what it is – and Mick and Gary are catching up on the latest events. It would seem that I have some free time on my hands. Is everything alright? KATY Yes, yes, I’m fine! I’m simply worried about Gwyn. ALIE What about him? KATY I know you said that it’s best if he doesn’t know that Alun left, but… I believe that he deserves to know the truth. We shouldn’t be keeping this from him. He loves Alun so much, and he spent so much time trying to be reunited with him; can you imagine the shock he will experience when he discovers that we chose not to tell him straight away? He will feel betrayed and there’s a fair chance that he won’t trust us anymore after that. ALIE I did think about that too, but like I said, I was afraid he would react badly, and we needed to focus on the vision first. I know this sounds a bit insensitive, but we are on the clock here, and furthermore, Alun is a grown adult who makes his own choices. He chose to leave without telling Gwyn, and that was quite selfish. While I understand he wants Gwyn back to his normal size, we are all trying to save the Legends, and we need to work as a team. I feel bad for not telling Gwyn, but I need to set priorities. We might think that we’re safe in John’s mansion, but let’s not fool ourselves: we’re wanted by time police agents AND bounty hunters. However, now that we have something to work on, as thin as this lead is, we can tell Gwyn about Alun. I never intended on keeping him in the dark for longer than was necessary anyway. KATY What a relief! Let’s tell him together then. You don’t need to do it alone. Wait. Is this Iris we’re hearing? She sounds quite upset… ALIE Yes, you’re right, that’s Iris’ voice. I think she’s with the boys. KATY I think she’s shouting at them! ALIE We better go check what is going on! IRIS (Angrily) Give it back to me, you thief! GARY (Surprised) What are you talking about? I didn’t steal anything! IRIS I wasn’t talking to you, genius, I was talking to HIM. MICK Hold your horses, lady! What are you accusing me of? GARY She just called you a thief; I think she’s accusing you of theft. MICK WHAT? IRIS Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about. Give it back to me! MICK I have no idea what you’re talking about! IRIS Liar! GARY (Babbling in an attempt to calm Iris and Mick down) Maybe you misplaced whatever you’re missing? It happens to me all the time! I place something somewhere, then I can’t remember where I put it. That’s why I’m extra careful not to misplace my glasses, because I would be unable to change into my human form. Speaking of which, I never reverted to my real self! Would you like me to formally introduce myself to you? IRIS No! I want my teleporter back! I need it! GARY Do you need to teleport somewhere in a hurry? IRIS That’s not the point! Mick stole it from me! MICK And I keep telling you that I didn’t do it! I don’t even know what it looks like! GARY What makes you think Mick stole your device? IRIS Because he’s a thief! MICK A retired thief! IRIS Nonsense! Once a thief, always a thief! GARY That’s a bit… MICK RUDE! ALIE What is going on here? IRIS Mick stole my teleporter! MICK I did not! GARY I suggested that Iris might have misplaced her teleporter… IRIS I did not! KATY Calm down everyone, let’s talk this through quietly. Are you sure your teleporter was stolen? IRIS Positive. I never take it off. Thing is, it’s not just a teleporter. I need it for… other reasons. ALIE Then whoever took it from you must have been close enough from you to manage to pickpocket it. MICK The only time I saw her, you girls were with us. KATY And you were never within reach... MICK And also, why would I steal your stupid teleporter in the first place? I wouldn’t know how to use it anyway! GARY (Getting excited) Who had the means and the opportunity? Oh, this is fun! It’s like a real life game of Cluedo! MICK (Frustrated) You think being called a thief is fun? Try it! ALIE Gary is right. Iris, think carefully: who would want your teleporter, and why? GARY I still think she misplaced it. IRIS (Realising who the real thief is) That tiny little devil! I told him I wasn’t going to let him study my teleporter! KATY Who are you talking about? MICK My money is on fainting Jiminy Cricket. GARY (Schocked) Gwyn? Gwyn is the thief?
