Tidy, the Ocean – female, age 22
Setting: An abandoned island in the Dominican Republic, surrounded by beautiful
baby blue see-through water. Coconut trees, vibrant, colorful plants and gold
At Rise: A mile from the island, you see a star on the sand almost like the size of a
basketball, and the island is surrounded by smooth baby blue tides.

WHOA, I’m feeling kinda chilly, thick grey clouds on a summer day – hmm. That
doesn’t seem right. The wind is kicking that doesn’t seem right either.
TIDY
(Smoothly, but rushing in) Hugh- hugh – Hi –

TIDY
(She’s at a distance) My baby, my baby, what’s wrong with him – I’m seeing
his flame shoot up and shoot down, is he okay, I don’t think he can hear me, he
thinks I’m a ghost or does he think that I’m scary and he’s panicking, what doesn’t
kill me makes me stronger (with a big smile she goes back in to the shore). Hey
hubby, it’s me your baby blue crystal clear estrella.
CAMPFIRE
(Laughing) What? Who are you?

TIDY
I’m your secret admirer, just look down, and you’ll see my stunning beauty.
CAMPFIRE
Wow! You look – (Tremendous cracking – Changing colors)
You like that, huh? They call me – –
TIDY
CAMPFIRE
What, what, what? You’re using those words already, but you never seen me or
TIDY
Oh, yes I have – I’ve been stunned by your rays for the past weeks already.
CAMPFIRE
And just by looking at me you fell in love?

CAMPFIRE
Whoa – I guess I still got it, but you never seen me in my full potential colors.
TIDY
I don’t have to see you in your full color to see that you’re special, I’ve also
come close to you a couple times but you might’ve not recognized me because I
blushed see-through blue every time I came near you . . .
CAMPFIRE
That – that might’ve explained why I’ve been cracking! Wait – stare at me –
(They look at each other. Campfire starts cracking a lot.)
You? I knew when I looked in the ocean. I saw the reflection of the sunset,
surrounded by layers of pink, light red and baby blue clouds, but that doesn’t
TIDY
(Smiling) I knew you were special!

Help me! The wind is blowing me away!

I will my love! (She becomes a wall to block the wind.) I can’t hold it for much
CAMPFIRE
Think of an idea because I want to grow old with you –
TIDY
I’ll do anything for you baaaabyyyyy —— (She comes in like a tsunami, turning
like the bottom of a tornado and clashes with Campfire. They start morphing
into the Peace symbol and Yin and Yang, floating up – they explode, and after
the clouds clear up, you see the radiant shiny rays of the Yin and Yang symbol. It

MONOLOGUES
MONOLOGUE #1/ Campfire
So, I am glowing now, cracking more than usual. Hmmm . . . I guess I’m star
struck, I feel radiant. (Campfire is shifting from view to view.) Something keeps
pulling my sight towards a beautiful picture almost like looking at a giant waterfall
and hearing the water come down. (Snapping back to reality.) I’m looking at
myself now wondering why I got so big, I’m at the tippy top of my fire feeling
10 feet high. Ehh, I guess I got a problem needing an answer but I’ll save it for
another day. (Campfire is los in deep meditation. He turns into vibrant red and
orange coals. Awakened by his thirst, he takes an enormous drink of oxygen.
Yawning -) What? Ahh, I’m back to my vibrant, dim, peaceful colors as when I got
lost in my thoughts – I was looking at a picture I never get tired of which was like
seeing a sun at 6pm, surrounded by layered, pink, light red and baby blue clouds.
– Why don’t I – I’m so confused about the way I see the ocean because it turns
to masterpieces. I am hesitant to discover what emotions are because I would
be opening a realm of feelings I never thought existed. So, I’m tired of watching
myself crack, the feeling is pleasant but it frustrates me not understanding what

it means, it stops me from eating and drinking oxygen. I see my flames getting
thin all because frustration has a hold on me, it irritates me being vulnerable to – I
don’t know – I’m stuck. I don’t really like thinking too hard, it makes me feel like
I am stuck on quick sand and I am trying to get out but I keep sinking more and
more. Ehh – I’ll just save it for another day again –

MONOLOGUE #2/ Tidy
So, I got a problem and I am helplessly in love with someone who [I] am pretty
sure never seen me. I don’t know – I love him, I love him, I can’t stop thinking of
him. I don’t know why or how it came to be, I create big tides just so I can have
a chance to be close to him, I blush blue see-through water every time I think he
even looks like he glances at me. I know me and him can make it work like the Yin
and Yang symbol, me and him MUST find our balance, me and him can find our
pros and cons but I’ll just keep the pros and throw out the cons – I don’t know –
I told myself I’ll never be in love again but I couldn’t even help it or fight it. His
shiny, vibrant, peaceful colors just melted me like ice cream on a hot summer day.
You know what, I am just going to take a leap of faith and I don’t care if he likes
me or not. My water is just going to – I don’t know – I’m going to jump on top of
his flame and me and him are just going to evaporate and he’s going to get put
out and my biggest desire of me and him growing old together will come true –
but no – I want to hear his voice – what if he really does like me and he feels the
same way – no – just jump on him – no, but I can’t do that to my only love . . .
