Trip To Singapore Part 1(Transcript)

Reece, Blake, Troy, Brad, George and Zoe are heading to school before going to the airport to go to Singapore with their classmates. They will be there for a 2 weeks trip.

Anne: Be good guys, I want you to have fun. Also be polite, East Asians like me are polite.

Blake: Oh please mum.

Joseph: Alright, see you guys in 2 weeks.

Zoe: Bye ma ma, bye dad.

Reece: Bye Mr. Thomson, bye Mrs. Cheng.

Joseph and Anne: Bye.

The main six lined up according to their grades. Then Ms. Jackson went on stage to make a speech before heading to Heathrow Airport.

Ms. Jackson: Alright, attention students, before heading to the airport, I would like to make an announcement. Before heading to the airport, I would like to say that you shouldn't bully each other. This includes you, Annika. And you should be having fun when we go to another continent of Asia. Secondly, please group yourselves into 6, they will be your teammates and your roommates when we book your hotel.

Everyone grouped themselves into 6, including Reece, Blake, Troy, Brad, George and Zoe who are together as usual.

Reece: Let's be together, yeah?

Zoe: Yeah.

The main 6 and their classmates went up to the bus. They also gave their permission slips their parents have to sign and put their luggages in the boot. They are in the bus with Ms. Barnes.

Ms. Barnes: Alright everyone, we are going to have fun and no fighting. We will be heading to Heathrow Airport to head to Singapore. Are you guys ready?

Everyone: Yes!

Ms. Barnes: Alright.

The bus started moving and the main protagonists looked through the windows to see the streets of London. They have never seen them before because they lived in the suburbs.

George: Woah, is that London?

Zoe: It looks amazing, we will be heading to the airport to head to Singapore.

Song: I Want It That Way by Backstreet Boys

Brad: #Yeah#

George: #You are my fire #The one desire #Believe when I say #I want it that way#

Zoe: #But we are two worlds apart #Can't reach to your heart #When you say #That I want it that way #Tell me why#

All: #Ain't nothing but a heartache#

Zoe: #Tell me why#

All: #Ain't nothing but a mistake #Tell me why#

Zoe: #I never want to hear you say#

All: #I want it that way#

Brad: #Am I your fire? #Your one desire #Yes, I know it's too late #But I want it that way #Tell me why#

All: #Ain't nothing but a heartache#

Brad: #Tell me why#

All: #Ain't nothing but a mistake #Tell me why#

George: #I never want to hear you say#

All: #I want it that way#

Blake: #Now I can see that we're falling apart #From the way that it used to be, yeah #No matter the distance, I want you to know #That deep down inside of me#

Troy: #You are my fire #The one desire #You are#

Zoe: #Don't wanna hear you say#

All: #Ain't nothin' but a heartache #Ain't nothin' but a mistake #I never wanna hear you say #I want it that way#

George: #Tell me why#

All: #Ain't nothing but a heartache#

George: #Tell me why#

All: #Ain't nothing but a mistake #Tell me why #I never want to hear you say #I want it that way#

George: #Tell me why#

All: #Ain't nothin' but a heartache #Ain't nothin' but a mistake #Tell me why #I never want to hear you say #I want it that way#

Brad: #'Cause I want it that way#

Annika: Oi! Can you guys stop singing? I don't ever want to hear your voice ever again.

Ms. Barnes: Annika, they are choir kids, you should give them a chance. Their singing is music to my ears.

Annika: (scoffs) Whatever.

The bus soon stopped at London Heathrow Airport and everyone got their carry-on bags and went off the bus. Annika ended up having to bring too much things.

Reece: Annika, why are you bring too much stuff? We are only in Singapore for 2 weeks.

Blake: Leave her alone Reece, she is just a mean girl.

Everyone lined up by the airport by their groups as Ms. Jackson is about to say something.

Ms. Jackson: Everyone settle down, before heading inside the airport, I would like to say that the school staff will take care of your bags. However, you need to pass in your passports in groups.

Everyone did as told but because Blake, Brad and Zoe have dual citizenship, they brought 2 passports with them. One for the UK and one for Hong Kong.

George: Guys, why did you bring 2 passports for each of you?

Blake: Didn't we tell you that our mum is from Hong Kong?

Reece: We know but you should've brought 1.

Ms. Jackson: Reece's group, you guys are the last ones to bring in your passports, bring them in now.

Reece gave the passports to Ms. Jackson and she didn't expect to get 9 passports.

Ms. Jackson: Oh, that's too many passports.

Blake: Because my siblings and I are Hong Kong and British citizens.

Ms. Jackson: It's fine, we have other students who have dual citizenship like Kandace who has Chinese and British citizenship, Yuto who has Canadian and Japanese citizenship, Raphael and Sheryl who have Hong Kong and Mainland Chinese citizenship, Aidan who has American and British citizenship, Alicia who has Italian and British citizenship, Ankit who has Indian and British citizenship, Poe who has South Korean and British citizenship, Thaiyo who has Japanese and Chinese citizenship, Oakley who has Malaysian and British citizenship, Anya who has Russian and British citizenship and Jenny who has French and Vietnamese citizenship.

Brad: Kinda makes sense.

Ms. Jackson: Right, so you can all come in and wait for us. Remember, stay together and don't go far.

They all entered the airport as the luggages are being checked in. The main protagonists are just talking to each other and minding their own business. Zoe is showing her drawings to George.

Zoe: George, these are the drawings that were up in the exhibition last month. They are in my style and in fact, Ms. Barnes likes it.

George: Really? You must be doing an awesome job.

Zoe: My drawings have changed through the years, starting off as stick men and then into anime because Japanese art is what inspired me. That's also the reason why I even drew the characters and the setting of my visual novel myself.

George: Very good.

Zoe flipped the page of her sketchbook and showed something Blake drew for her.

Zoe: This picture was meant for a drawing contest Blake was attending. He won so he decided to draw that for me.

George: Nice.

Ms. Jackson: Guys, here are your passports, we will be going to the immigration next up.

They went to the immigration and Blake, Brad and Zoe have to be together because they are siblings. Also because they have a British passport and a Hong Kong passport.

Officer: Names?

Blake: Cheng Er Hu.

Officer: I know you're all Chinese but I want your Western full names.

Blake: Blake Edward Thomson.

Brad: Bradley William Thomson.

Zoe: Zoe Isabelle Thomson.

Officer: Siblings?

Thomsons: Yes.

Officer: Okay, you lot are dual citizenship, British and Hong Kong passports. You may pass, here are your passports.

Zoe: Thank you sir.

The Thomsons met up with Reece, Troy and George who are waiting with the other students.

Troy: What took you so long?

Zoe: Because we're dual citizens, they have to question us. Don't worry, the other dual citizenship kids have the same problem as us. Even Kandace does.

Reece: Alright.

After like 10 minutes, everyone is ready to go as they head to their gate. On the way, Annika is making rants at Ms. Jackson because she doesn't want to go to Singapore.

Annika: Ms. Jackson, why are we even going to Singapore? It has tons of nerdy Asians.

Ms. Jackson: But Annika, you're Asian.

Annika: No, my dad is half British half Native American.

Ms. Jackson: Look, we are going to Singapore because we want to have fun. You don't want to ruin it, do you?

Annika: Look, there are many other nice places than that like Hawaii or Paris.

Ms. Jackson: But there is a lot of coronavirus in France right now so please stop complaining about our trip to Singapore, we just want to have fun.

Meanwhile, the main 6 heard their conversation.

Zoe: Why does Annika have to complain about everything? Singapore is a nice place, isn't it?

Brad: Yeah.

Troy: My parents have been to Singapore last year, they told me that it's a nice country.

Ms. Barnes: Reece, Blake, Troy, Brad, George, Zoe, you guys don't want to get lost in the airport do you? Now c'mon, we have to head to the gate.

Once they headed to the gate, Ms. Jackson gave everyone their boarding passes. Once she gave the main 6 their boarding pass, they are also given arrival cards because they are required to do so since they are foreigners.

Zoe: George, stop being nosy, you shouldn't be looking at each other's personal information.

George: Zoe, I'm asking you for a pen.

Zoe: My bad, but I'm using it right now. I lend it to you once I'm finished filling in.

After everyone is done filling in, they put it with their passports which is where the boarding passes are and put it in their bags. Because Blake is the oldest of the Thomson siblings, he has to keep his and his siblings passports.

Troy: Blake, why do you have to keep your siblings' passports.

Blake: Mum says whenever we have to travel alone, I have to be the one keeping their passports because I'm the oldest.

Reece: That's normal, I always keep Lexi's passport whenever we are travelling alone. Because I'm the oldest.

George: I don't have siblings.

Zoe: What? Why?

George: My siblings who were born before me didn't survive infancy. They had Edward's syndrome, cystic fibrosis or were born early.

Brad: Did they make it?

George: No, I was the last one surviving after all of them. I still have to suffer from their illnesses as an infant, cystic fibrosis, liver disease, cystic fibrosis related diabetes and stuff like that.

Blake: Zoe had a liver disease when she was a baby.

Zoe: Blake.

Blake: Mei mei, it's true, we were all worried that you'll have cystic fibrosis like Brad. Luckily you didn't, instead you got telekinesis.

Zoe: Like this?

Zoe used her powers to get a pencil, markers and sketchbook and drew a picture of herself and her friends along with coloring it. After that, she is finished drawing.

George: Wow.

Zoe: This is why I love my powers.

Reece: Can I see?

Zoe showed her drawings to Reece and Troy.

Reece: Mate, that's awesome.

Zoe: I know.

It soon boarding time and the main protagonists along with their teachers and students boarded the plane. They are greeted by the flight attendants. They are taking economy class and there a 2 seats at the sides and 3 at the middle. The main 6 took their seats at the side(because they are assigned to). Annika doesn't enjoy economy class.

Annika: Ugh, why can't I take first class?

Ms. Jackson: Because first class is for rich people, not for you.

Annika: But my parents are very rich.

Zoe: Ours too Annika but we live in the suburbs because we want to live a normal life.

Annika: Whatever.

Ms. Jackson: Students, we will make a stop at Doha because it is a long flight between London and Singapore. It'll actually take 12 hours to get there so we decided to stop there so that we won't get jet lagged. I think, maybe you will get jet-lagged but whatever.

After what Ms. Jackson said, the plane started moving and because the school decided to use British airways, the pre-flight safety video showed up in the screens. It was cool because there are many famous Britons in the video. After that, the plane is on cruising altitude. Everyone went to sleep but Zoe and George were watching Horrible Histories which is available to watch. Ms. Jackson came around to check on the students.

Ms. Jackson: George, Zoe, why aren't you asleep?

Zoe: Because we want to watch Horrible Histories.

George: Also I struggle in history.

Ms. Jackson: It's fine, you can go to sleep if you want.

That's when they both fell asleep. 6 hours later, the plane landed in Doha. Everyone hopped off their plane and went to their gate. Because George and Zoe were still asleep, Blake and Reece have to wake them up.

Blake: Guys, wake up, I know you guys look sweet together when you sleep but it's time to wake up.

Zoe: Are we in Doha yet?

Reece: Yes we are, let's go, we have to wait for our next flight to Singapore.

The class went off the plane as Ms. Jackson went to the transfer flights desk.

Ms. Jackson: Hi, we're going to transfer flights from here, Doha to Singapore.

Receptionist: For a school trip?

Ms. Jackson: Yes.

Receptionist: Where are all of you from? As in where did you first depart?

Ms. Jackson: London Heathrow Airport.

Receptionist: To Singapore right? You may transfer flights.

After that, they waited at their gate so that they could go to Singapore. Zoe and George were still watching Horrible Histories until Annika went up to them.

Annika: Watching Horrible Histories I see?

Zoe: Why did you ask? It's my favorite show.

George: Also because I've been struggling in history.

Annika: Only little kids watch these kinds of stuff.

Zoe: But...

Annika: Hmph!

Brad: What is going on?

George: Annika is ranting on us again.

Troy: Again? I think you should sing a song, just to make yourselves feel better.

Song: How Does A Moment Last Forever by Celine Dion

Zoe: #How does a moment last forever? #How can a story never die? #It is love we must hold onto #Never easy, but we try #Sometimes our happiness is captured #Somehow, our time and place stand still #Love lives on inside our hearts and always will #Minutes turn to hours, days to years then gone #But when all else has been forgotten #Still our song lives on #Maybe some moments weren’t so perfect #Maybe some memories not so sweet #But we have to know some bad times #Or our lives are incomplete #Then when the shadows overtake us #Just when we feel all hope is gone #We’ll hear our song and know once more #Our love lives on #How does a moment last forever? #How does our happiness endure? #Through the darkest of our troubles #Love is beauty, love is pure #Love pays no mind to desolation #It flows like a river through the soul #Protects, proceeds, and perseveres #And makes us whole #Minutes turn to hours, days to years then gone #But when all else has been forgotten #Still our song lives on #How does a moment last forever #When our song lives on#

Brad: Any better? Don't listen to Annika, she just wants to bring you and the entire choir down.

Zoe: After the Frisbee and Matilda the Musical drama.

Blake: We have to wait for a while for our Singapore flight. It will take about 7 hours from here.

Reece: So what should we do?

Annika: Shut your mouths, I don't want to hear your horrible voices.

Zoe pulled Annika's hair because she was mad at her.

Zoe: Stop making fun of us, we want to travel so that we can have fun, not hear any of your rants.

Annika: Let go of my hair! I've just done it this morning!

Ms. Jackson: Annika, let your friends have fun.

Annika: They are not my friends. They have no friends.

Ms. Jackson: Don't make fun of them, or else you'll have to sit with the teachers.

Annika: Fine.

It is soon boarding time and everyone got to sit in their usual seats. It is the same airline they used all the way to Doha.

Blake: Psst, Zoe, before you go to bed again, would you mind if you could tell Ms. Jackson that she should check if Annika is going to bully.

Zoe: She already handled it.

Reece: We just don't want anyone to bully you, George, Brad, Troy or any of our friends. Okay?

Zoe nodded as the plane took off. When it is on cruising altitude, both Zoe and George slept. So does Troy and Brad but Blake and Reece didn't sleep. Blake was about to go to the lavatory when he caught his sister sleeping with George. He founded it cute so he went up to her.

Blake: Night Zoe.

Then he went to the lavatory. Zoe woke up halfway through the flight. She started to watch Horrible Histories again because it is her favorite show. Then George woke up.

George: Hey, watching Horrible Histories without me?

Zoe: Not yet I suppose.

It is soon time to land as the plane is about to land at Changi Airport and Blake came back to his seat after going to the lavatory. The main 6 were hoping that the trip will go well and there will be no bullying.

Ms. Jackson: We're here in Singapore, let's go.

Reece: Let's go guys.
