| Starvivor 3 Chronicles: Episode X: Her Heart Will Go On by Grand Adm... I mean, uh Hoth Rebel Trooper Narrator The evil Emperor Palpatine is no more and the Xob Tribe has rejoiced. But the Emperor�s evil cannot be washed away so easily. No, even though he is gone, remnants of his powers remain. When he electrocuted the shore, some of his electricity crystallized bits of sand into little blue diamonds. Malcolm, depressed that the only Xob member who could see him was just voted off, is combing the beach for large blue crystals. He comes across a particularly huge one that is shaped like a heart. Malcolm Whoa! Now that�s a doozy. *Malcolm picks up the heart-shaped crystal and he is suddenly illuminated in the same way that he was illuminated while Palpatine was electrocuting him.* Malcolm Holy crap! This thing�s got Palpy�s powers in it. Does this mean I�m... visible? *Forrest comes jogging along the shore. Malcolm waves and yells to him* Malcolm Forrest! Hey, Forrest! Can you see me?! *Forrest stops in his place and turns toward Malcolm* Forrest Ghost of Bubba! Is that you?! Malcolm Uh... yeah! Yeah, it�s me, the ghost of Bubba! Forrest Prove it to me, Bubba. Malcolm Uh... shrimp cocktail, shrimp scampi, shrimp sandwich, shrimp salad... Forrest You�re Bubba, alright! Oh Bubba, I�ve missed you! *Forrest runs up to Malcolm and gives him a great big hug* Malcolm Heh... yup, it�s me, Bubba. Forrest What�s that thing you�ve got there? Malcolm Huh?... Oh, it�s my... heart. Forrest Your Purple Heart? I got me one of those, too. But I thought they only give them to ya if you�re hurt, not if you�re dead. Malcolm Nope, you get �em when you�re dead, too. Forrest I�ve been looking all over for a present to give to �owyn, but I couldn�t find nothin�. Can I give her your Purple Heart? Malcolm Uh... I�m using it. Forrest Don�t worry, Bubba, you can have mine when we get back home to Alabama. This is just temporary. *Forrest snatches the heart crystal away from Malcolm and Malcolm becomes invisible again* Malcolm No! Forrest Bubba? Where�d you go, Bubba? Oh well... thanks for the Purple Heart, Bubba. See you later, wherever you are! *Forrest jogs away, ready to prepare his gift. Malcolm is left alone again.* Malcolm Argh! Moron! *Meanwhile, �owyn and Steve are out in the dingy trying to make a detailed report of the damages caused by Palpatine�s electrocution of the water. Dory is following them, swimming alongside the boat.* Steve I still don�t see why we should be �making a report� here. �owyn We�ve harmed the creatures of this area. We need to know the extent of the damage so we can compensate whatever beings rule over this land. Steve Who cares? They�re aliens. I hate aliens. �owyn How would you feel if someone from another planet came along and destroyed everything you loved? Steve Dude, that happened. To me. And that�s why I hate aliens! And believe me, they didn�t compensate jack-squat. �owyn Well this time, you�re the alien, Captain Hiller. Dory Guys! Guys! I see something! �owyn What is it, Dory? Dory Ice! Steve Ice? �owyn Ice? Dory Ice?!! �owyn Where�s the Ice, Dory? Dory What ice?! Steve God, I hate that so much. �owyn Oh, I see what she�s talking about. Straight ahead, there�s a big chunk of ice floating in the water. Steve Near a tropical island? *�owyn shrugs* �owyn Perhaps Palpatine caused it. Regardless, we should collect some and bring it back to camp to put in our drinks. Dory Look guys! I see ice! *As Steve and �owyn chip off some of the ice, Forrest is searching the camp for �owyn so he can give her the blue heart crystal, which he has made into a necklace. Instead of �owyn, he finds Rose.* Forrest Hello, Rose. Have you seen �owyn around? Rose She�s out dingying with Steve. Forrest Oh... Rose What�s that you�ve got there? *Forrest holds out the necklace* Forrest It�s a Purple Heart. Bubba gave me the heart and I made it into a necklace... Rose So you didn�t buy it? Forrest No, ma�am. Rose It looks just like... a necklace I used to have... Forrest I made it for �o... Rose Thank you! *Rose snatches it from Forrest before he can finish explaining for whom he made it.* Forrest Uh... well... I guess you can have it. Rose Forrest... did you ever go to school? Forrest Yes ma�am, I did. My momma invited the principal to our house and they made funny noises up in her room. And that�d how I got into school. Rose Why... you must have grown up poor if that�s how you got into school! Forrest Well... Rose It�s okay, Forrest, I don�t mind if you�re poor. Forrest But I�m not poor at all... I owned a shrimp company and invested in some fruit company and... Rose No need to be ashamed, Forrest. You don�t need to make up stories to impress me. I�m impressed enough by who you are. Forrest But... *Rose gets close and gives Forrest a kiss on the cheek* Forrest Uh... wow... Rose... Rose I want you to draw me wearing the necklace. Forrest ...Alright Rose Wearing... only the necklace. Forrest *gulp* *Rose puts on the necklace and Forrest nervously gets some paper and a pen ready. Rose slips off her robe, wearing only the necklace, and proceeds to lie on the bench. Forrest is sitting on a stump, staring with his mouth wide open* Rose I do believe you�re blushing, Mr. Artiste. Forrest Duhhh.... Rose Well are you going to draw or just stare? Forrest Uhhh... right, draw, draw. *Forrest begins sketching. Invisible Malcolm wanders in and sees this.* Malcolm Holy sh*t! She�s naked! And she�s got my crystal! *Malcolm gets ready to snatch the crystal from her, but then changes his mind* Malcolm On second thought... if I snatch the necklace, she�ll get scared and then put her clothes back on... So I better just sit back and watch for now. I love being invisible! *After some time, Forrest finally finishes the drawing. Rose gets up and puts her robe back on.* Rose Can I see it? *Forrest turns the paper around so Rose can see it.* Rose ... That�s just a stick figure with boobies. Forrest I was never very good at drawin�. Sorry. Guess those drawin� classes in college never paid off. Rose Wait a minute... you went to college? Forrest Yes, ma�am. Rose Only rich people go to college! Forrest Well, I tried to tell you. I am rich. Rose I can�t believe it! You probably bought this necklace, didn�t you?! Forrest No, ma�am! Rose Yeah right. *Rose, upset, stomps on over to the beach. Rips off her necklace, and tosses it WAY out to sea* Forrest No! Malcolm NO!! *Steve and �owyn come to shore with the dingy and witness the toss* Steve What just happened? Rose Forrest lied to me to get me naked. Steve ...Whoa. Forrest That�s not true! She took the necklace I made for �owyn and then made me draw her! �owyn You made me a necklace? Awww, that�s so sweet. Forrest But Rose went and threw it in the ocean. *Forrest starts crying* Dory I can go find it! Steve Yeah, but by the time you get there, you�ll forget what you�re looking for. �owyn Rose, that was quite rude. Such an act could get you voted off. Rose What?! No!... Uh... look, I�m sorry, Forrest. How can I make it up to you? Forrest Well... *sniff* you could go out in the dingy with me so we can help Dory find it. Rose No way! I�m not setting foot in that boat! Forrest But she�s unsinkable! Honest! Rose Right. I�ve heard that before. Sorry, I�d rather get voted off than go out on a boat. *And so, night falls, and the tension-wrought Xob tribe goes to sleep. Though Rose cannot sleep, for she fears getting voted off. Changing her mind about the boat, she grabs Dory and heads to the beach. Invisible Malcolm follows her.* Rose I can�t believe I�m doing this. Dory What are we doing?! Rose We�re gonna go out and find that stupid necklace so they don�t vote me off. *Rose gets in the dingy, and Malcolm sneaks in the boat with her. Rose starts rowing out to the area the necklace landed. She drops Dory into the water* Rose Remember, you�re looking for a blue shiny heart-shaped stone, okay? Dory Okay! *Dory dives into the depths. Rose waits. After about 15 minutes pass, she gets worried* Rose Ugh... she probably forgot what she was doing... Dory?! *Rose notices that the dingy has drifted closer to shore, so she begins paddling again. There is a heavy fog now and she can�t see very well. Suddenly, she SLAMS into the big chunk of ice. Rose screams.* Rose Ahhh! Not again! Malcolm Uh-oh. *Water starts to come through the hole made by the iceberg. The dingy starts to sink front-first with Rose sitting in the back. Then the dingy SNAPS in half, then starts to sink again. Malcolm is now swimming in the water while Rose is trying to stay on the boat. She screams again.* *Having been woken up by Rose�s screams, Forrest, Steve, and �owyn stand at the beach, trying to see what�s going on.* Steve Looks like Rose is fooling around with your dingy, Forrest. Forrest What?! No one�s supposed to touch my dingy without my permission! *Steve chuckles* �owyn What�s so funny? Steve Heh, nothing. *Now the dingy has sunk completely except for one plank of wood, which Rose is floating on. Suddenly, Dory pops up with the necklace in her mouth* Dory Found it! Rose What good is that going to do me now?! Malcolm None, but it�ll do good for me! *Malcolm grabs the necklace from Dory and its power illuminates him, making him appear as a ghostly aura.* Rose Jack?... Is that you? Malcolm Uhh... yeah, it�s me, Jack. Rose I�m so cold now, Jack. Malcolm Really?! But these are tropical waters. Rose I can�t feel my body. Malcolm I�ll feel it for you, if you want.... I mean, just kidding. Rose I love you, Jack. *Rose takes a hold of Malcolm�s arms.* Malcolm Um... please let go. Rose I�ll never let go, Jack. I�ll never let go. *They float there for a good 30 minutes. Malcolm gets bored and falls asleep. Rose can feel that he has no pulse. She lets go of him and he sinks to the bottom of the sea. Rose gets to her senses and swims back to shore, considering it�s not that far away. The others are there to greet her.* Forrest You sunk my dingy?! Steve Just couldn�t keep it up, hm? Rose I�m sorry, Forrest. But I found your necklace... I mean... oh crap, Jack sank with it. �owyn So now you�ve lost his necklace AND his boat? Rose, I�m very disappointed in you. We shall have to vote you off. Rose That�s not fair! *Steve picks up a piece of paper that�s on the ground* Steve Hey, who drew this stick figure with boobies? Forrest I did. It�s Rose. Steve Really? Naw, Rose definitely ain�t that skinny. Rose Hey! Narrator Alas, Rose DeWitt Bukater was voted off the island for the pain she caused to poor Forrest Gump. She went on to marry some rich dude and made lots of babies. She died as an old lady warm in her bed. No one ever believed her senile stories of an alien planet with talking fish and tropical icebergs. Though Forrest�s drawing of her is now in a national museum. THE END |
