Out Camping(Transcript)

The Thomsons are going camping in the countryside along with their friends, George, Troy and Reece. It is going to be exciting.

Anne: Kids, are you ready?

Kids: Yes.

Joseph: Then let's go, we must come before it rains.

They hopped in the car after putting bags in the boot. While the parents were talking to each other, the children looked outside to look at the view of the country. It looks really nice and sunny until rain clouds started coming to the sky.

George: It's going to be rainy once we arrive at the campsite.

Zoe: I know, neither of us are allowed to be in the rain.

Anne: We'll try to find the campsite before the rain stops. Try to sing us a song, you guys are a choir right?

Zoe: But Kenneth is a theater kid.

Kenneth: But it doesn't mean that I can't sing.

George: Let's do it.

Reece: And a 1, and a 2, and a 1 2 3 4...

Song: Don't Stop Me Now by Queen

Kenneth: #Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time #I feel alive #And the world, I'll turn it inside out, yeah #I'm floating around in ecstasy, so#

All: #Don't stop me now #Don't stop me#

Kenneth: #'Cause I'm havin' a good time, havin' a good time#

George: #I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky #Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity #I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva #I'm gonna go, go, go, there's no stopping me#

Zoe: #I'm burning through the sky, yeah #Two hundred degrees, that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit #I'm travelling at the speed of light #I wanna make a supersonic man outta you#

All: #Don't stop me now#

Zoe: #I'm having such a good time, I'm having a ball#

All #Don't stop me now#

Zoe: #If you wanna have a good time, just give me a call#

All #Don't stop me now#

Zoe: #'Cause I'm having a good time#

All: #Don't stop me now#

Zoe: #Yes, I'm having a good time #I don't wanna stop at all, yeah#

Brad: #I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars on a collision course #I am a satellite, I'm out of control #I'm a sex machine ready to reload #Like an atom bomb about to, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, explode!#

Troy: #I'm burning through the sky, yeah #Two hundred degrees, that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit #I'm travelling at the speed of light #I wanna make a supersonic woman of you#

All: #Don't stop me, don't stop me, don't stop me#

Kenneth: #Hey, hey, hey#

All: #Don't stop me, don't stop me, ooh, ooh, ooh#

Zoe: #I like it#

All: #Don't stop me, don't stop me#

George: #Have a good time, good time#

All: #Don't stop me, don't stop me#

Brad: #Woah #Let loose, honey, all right#

All: #Don't stop me now#

Blake: #I'm having such a good time, I'm having a ball#

All: #I don't wanna stop at all #Ah, da da da da #Da da ah ah #Ah da da, ah ah ah #Ah, da da #Ah, da da ah ah #Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh#

Joseph: Didn't know you guys like Queen.

Anne: Yeah, oh, can you guys sing a song from Spice Girls, I would love to hear that.

Zoe: Oh heck no.

Brad: She doesn't like Spice Girls.

Anne: I see.

Joseph: Well here we are, the campsite. It stopped raining so nobody will get sick. Okay?

Kids: Okay.

Joseph: Let's get our things, and then-

Zoe: Never mind, I got this.

Joseph: Oh, our daughter is getting a hang of her powers.

Anne: That's right.

The campsite has many tents but Joseph, Anne and the children chose 2 of them next to each other which is far from the others, the small one for adults and the big one for the kids. There is usually many people there but during this time, they managed to keep the place to themselves.

Joseph: Alright kids, you can unpack your stuff but don't go far from this area.

Zoe: Then where will we sleep?

Anne: Daddy and I will sleep in the small tent.

Reece: Why?

Anne: Because we don't need the space to muck around like you guys, you guys need a larger tent for practice and stuff you usually do.

Kenneth: Oh good.

Blake: Oh boy.

That's when it started raining and everyone is starting to get drenched.

Anne: Kids, you need to get inside your tent right now.

Troy: Why?

Zoe: Because Brad and George have cystic fibrosis, Troy.

Troy: Oh.

Anne: Kids, you really should get inside your tent now, Zoe, there is a hairdryer in your bag, use it.

The kids went inside their tent drying themselves. Zoe used the hairdryer that was in her bag to dry Kenneth first. Then the other boys and then herself.

Zoe: Geez guys, we shouldn't have spent like 5 minutes in the rain.

Troy: What's the problem with that?

Blake: George and Brad have cystic fibrosis, if they get sick tomorrow, we might take them to the hospital and the doctors might think they have COVID-19. There are now 16 confirmed cases here in the UK. We don't want it to be 18.

Brad: Yeah.

Zoe: Didi is done, George, your turn.

George took off his nasal cannnula(because he's been wearing it all the time) and sat in front of Zoe so that she could dry him.

George: What does 'didi' mean?

Zoe: It's a Chinese word meaning younger brother. I called Kenneth that because he is my younger brother.

George: I see.

Zoe: The reason why Kenneth came first because he is still a young boy and he might catch a cold because of the weather.

George: What about you?

Zoe: I'll be fine when I'm the last, I'm healthy anyway. Also it'll take me long to blow dry myself so you guys should go first.

Zoe finished drying George which means it is Brad's turn.

Zoe: Gege, your turn.

Blake and Brad: Who?

George: What does that mean?

Zoe: Older brother in Chinese, I would usually call them that sometimes. We're half Chinese. Brad, your turn, Blake you'll go after Troy.

Blake: Oh, okay.

Troy: Why Brad first?

Zoe: He also has CF, we first discovered that when his liver stopped working as a baby. Mine too, but I didn't get cystic fibrosis.

George: You were so lucky.

Zoe: I know.

Brad: Hey, do you know that if Zoe was a boy, her name would be Ben, if a girl, she was originally going to be Beatrice or Bella. But we agreed on Zoe because it's a nice name, we saved Bella for her middle name, Isabelle.

Zoe: This is so hard, your hair is fluffy Brad. No wonder why I was able to dry Kenneth and George quickly.

After what feels like 30 minutes(when it is actually 10 minutes), Zoe finished drying Brad, she then proceeded to dry Troy.

Reece: So am I the last?

Zoe: No, I am.

Reece: Haven't you heard of ladies first?

Zoe: Actually, it's my choice to be the last, it usually takes me long to dry myself anyway. Which reminds me, did anyone hang their jackets?

Boys: Yup.

Zoe: Good, cuz I hung mine.

After she dried Troy, Zoe proceeded to dry up her oldest brother.

Zoe: Gege, your turn.

Blake: Great. Hey, when you finish drying Reece, would you mind if I dry you up?

Zoe: Seriously Blake? Mum would usually do that me.

Troy: Yeah, but it looks like both of your parents are having fun.

The children looked through the window in their tent and Anne and Joseph are kissing and hugging and stuff like that. They look disgusted so they closed the shutters.

George: That was disgusting.

Blake: I know, I would never do that to my girlfriend.

George: Neither do I.

Zoe: And she's standing in front of you.

Zoe said that sternly while drying up Reece.

Blake: Wow, really funny Zoe, really funny.

After drying up Reece, Zoe started drying herself up. That's when Blake helps her doing the job.

Blake: This is why it takes too long.

Reece: Do you usually do that to your sister?

Blake: Sometimes, mostly when mum is at work and we ended up getting wet.

After Blake dried Zoe up, her hair ended up looking wavy so she scrambled her pockets for a hair tie to tie up her hair. She started tying it until George stopped her.

George: I like your hair like that.

Zoe: Really? Thanks.

The children continued talking and playing around while the adults started preparing dinner because it had stopped raining. As soon as it's ready, Anne went to the kids' tent to call them.

Anne: Kids, dinner is ready, you might need your coats, it's chilly outside.

George: Wait, they aren't dried.

Zoe used her powers to get rid of the water and threw them outside but didn't make her mum wet.

Zoe: There you go.

Brad: Thanks.

Anne: C'mon guys.

They went outside and sat on the picnic table. Anne and Joseph made chow mien which looked like Chinese take out to Troy, George and Reece.

George: Is that Chinese take out?

Anne: No, it's actually homemade, just like back in Hong Kong.

Zoe: Actually it came from China but whatever.

Joseph: Why don't you start eating.

They started eating, the air feels nice around them, even if it is cold.

George: Guys, this is even better than Chinese take out.

Anne: Thanks, and don't talk with your mouth full.

Zoe: Manners.

After they finished eating, Anne started announcing something.

Anne: Alright, we are just going to be here for just one night. Tomorrow we are going back to London. Go to bed now, yeah? Also don't forget to brush your teeth.

Blake: Alright mum, c'mon guys.

The children brushed their teeth and went to their tent to go to sleep. They took out their shoes, hung their coats and slept in their sleeping bags. There are 3 on each side, 1 side for Zoe, George, Blake and Keneth(he sleeps in Blake's sleeping bag) and the other for Brad, Troy and Reece.

Blake: Goodnight everyone.

Everyone: Goodnight.

Kenneth: Can you sing me a lullaby.

Troy: Are you kidding me?

Reece: We are getting to old for lullabies.

Blake: Just for Kenneth, he is only 6-years-old.

Reece: Alright, and a 1 and a 2 and a 1 2 3 4.

Song: All Is Found by Evan Rachel Wood

Zoe: #Where the north wind meets the sea #There's a river full of memory #Sleep, my brothers, safe and sound #For in this river all is found #In his waters, deep and true #Lie the answers and a path for you #Dive down deep into his sound #But not too far or you'll be drowned #Yes, he will sing to those who'll hear #And in hid song, all magic flows #But can you brave what you most fear? #Can you face what the river knows? #Where the north wind meets the sea #There's a sister full of memory #Come, my brothers, homeward bound #When all is lost, then all is found#

Everyone went to sleep. The next morning, Anne and Joseph were making breakfast when Reece, Blake, Troy, Zoe and Kenneth woke up.

Joseph: Good morning, did you have a good sleep?

Blake: Yeah.

Anne: Where are Brad and George?

Zoe: Probably asleep, I'll go check on them.

Blake: Yeah, me too. Troy, Reece, Kenneth, stay here and eat your breakfast, we will follow.

Kenneth: Okay.

Blake and Zoe went black to the tent and Brad and George were still asleep. Blake agreed that he will check on Brad while Zoe checks on George. Zoe woke up George when she suddenly felt the heat radiating off him.

Zoe: George? You alright? You're burning up.

George: (wakes up and then coughs)

Zoe: Crap, Blake how's Brad?

Blake: He seems to be under the weather.

Zoe: I need my first aid kit.

Zoe got her first aid kit from her bag by using her powers and searched for a thermometer. Once she founded it, she put it on George's ear and it is a 40°C fever.

Zoe: Oh my goodness, it is so high.

Blake: Let me check Brad's temp.

Blake checked Brad's temperature and Brad also has a 40°C fever.

Zoe: We've gotta tell mum.

Zoe and Blake rushed out of the tent where everyone is eating their breakfast.

Anne: You 2, what's the rush?

Zoe: Brad and George have high fevers and we need to go to the hospital ASAP.

Joseph: But this is not the right time to go to the hospital, there is a coronavirus outbreak here and all over the world.

Blake: We have no choice dad.

Everyone packed their things while Blake helped Brad and Zoe helped George.

Zoe: C'mon George, we need you to stand up, so that we could go to the car.

George: But I'm too weak.

Zoe: I can't carry you.

Reece: Here, let me help.

Reece picked up George's weak body.

Zoe: Thanks Reece.

After everyone packed up, Joseph started the car and it sped up from the country to London. Halfway there, Brad and George's breathing is starting to get worse which worried everyone. They soon arrived at the hospital and the 2 boys were sent in immediately. The doctors did so many tests on them, checking if they have coronavirus or not which took long for the family in the waiting room.

Zoe: Will George be okay?

Blake: He'll be fine.

Zoe: This is why we shouldn't have taken them to the hospital, there's this coronavirus and they have cystic fibrosis and I believe they might not have the COVID 19.

Troy: But Zoe, maybe they might have-

Zoe: Shut up.

Zoe slapped Troy on the face with her powers and went off somewhere. She felt really upset she isolated herself and started crying.

Song: The Next Right Thing by Kristen Bell

Zoe : #I've seen dark before #But not like this #This is cold #This is empty #This is numb #The life I knew is over #The lights are out #Hello, darkness #I'm ready to succumb #I follow you around #I always have #But you've gone to a place I cannot find #This grief has a gravity #It pulls me down #But a tiny voice whispers in my mind #"You are lost, hope is gone #But you must go on #And do the next right thing" #Can there be a day beyond this night? #I don't know anymore what is true #I can't find my direction, I'm all alone #The only star that guided me was you #How to rise from the floor #When it's not you I'm rising for? #Just do the next right thing #Take a step, step again #It is all that I can to do #The next right thing #I won't look too far ahead #It's too much for me to take #But break it down to this next breath #This next step #This next choice is one that I can make #So I'll walk through this night #Stumbling blindly toward the light #And do the next right thing #And with the dawn, what comes then #When it's clear that everything will never be the same again? #Then I'll make the choice #To hear that voice #And do the next right thing#

Blake: Zoe? You alright.

Zoe: Blake?

The siblings hugged each other.

Troy: That was the best family moment I've ever seen.

Blake: C'mon, mama needs us.

Blake and Zoe went up to their parents when their mum, Anne told them something.

Anne: Zoe, Blake, there is something your baba and I didn't tell you. Did you see family pictures of gong gong and nai nai?

Zoe: Yes, in our photo album.

Anne: Yeah, we were supposed to go to Hong Kong when Blake was 1 but there was a coronavirus outbreak happening there. We weren't allowed to go there, which is good because I was pregnant with Brad. But gong gong died that time before Brad even met them.

Reece: That's sad.

Zoe: We know, we were also afraid when Brad was even born, he has cystic fibrosis and doctors were panicked because mum is Chinese and it was the outbreak at the time. Luckily the old SARS was contained before I was born.

Then a nurse came up to Anne, Joseph and the children.

Nurse: Excuse me, are you both related to Bradley Thomson and George Smith?

Anne: Yes, how are they?

Nurse: We did multiple tests on them and it turns out that they don't have COVID 19. They just got cystic fibrosis, you can see them but they are in separate rooms because they shouldn't be in the same room.

Joseph: So which one of you guys will see George?

Blake: Zoe, Reece and I will.

Anne: Then the rest of us will go see Brad.

Nurse: They can be released by tomorrow.

Joseph: Thank you very much.

Reece, Blake and Zoe went into George's room and he is asleep looking pale. Zoe went up to his bed and hugged him and cried again.

Blake: Zoe? It's alright, George couldn't help it, he has cystic fibrosis like gege. Um, Brad actually.

That's when George woke up, he looked on his right side and he was connected to an IV. Then he looked at his left and saw a sleeping girl next to him along with her older brother comforting her.

Blake: George, you're awake. You alright?

George: I'm fine, I just feel weak. Zoe?

Zoe woke up.

Zoe: George?

Zoe and George hugged each other as Reece chuckled.

Reece: When will you ever hug each other?

Blake: Reece, they're a little to young for that.

Zoe: When we get older obviously.

George: Yeah, because we're still too young.

Everyone: (laughs)
