If the heart is always searching...

Can you ever find a home?

Chapter Six

Melody:  What?

Nick (angrily):  I’m breaking up with you.

Nick continues to cry and Melody gets tears in her eyes.

Melody:  Why?

Nick:  I don’t know.

Melody:  How could you not know?

Nick:  I don’t know.  Things just don’t seem right between us anymore.

Melody starts to sob.

 

Meanwhile, on stage:

Lydeea:  Well, that’s our show.

Joe:  Join us for a meet and greet.

Kevin:  There will be a line backstage.

Harmony:  Hope to see you there!

Harmony (quietly to Joe, Kevin and Lydeea):  Now let’s go find Melody and Nick.

 

All of them rush off stage.

Harmony:  Where could they have gone?

Lydeea:  I don’t know.  This isn’t a big place.

Joe:  It’s almost time for the meet and greet.

Kevin:  I guess we better get going.

 

Back to the room where Melody and Nick cry.

 

Melody:  Why, Nick, why?

Nick:  I don’t know.  Now leave me alone.

Melody:  Fine!

Melody runs off.

 

Melody continues running until she gets to the meet and greet and runs into Joe, knocking him over.

 

Joe:  Ow!

Joe (seeing that Melody is in tears):  What’s wrong?

Melody:  Ni…bro…me!

Kevin:  What?

Lydeea:  Nick broke up with her!

Harmony:  Are you okay?

Melody:  No!

Kevin:  Why don’t you go rest while we do the meet and greet?

Melody runs off again.

Joe:  Remind me to do something mean to Nick.

Some fans walk up Kevin, Joe, Lydeea, and Harmony.

Fan 1:  What’s wrong with Melody?

Fan 2:  She looks very sad.

Fan 3:  Where’s Nick?

Harmony:  Um…Nick broke up with Melody.

Joe:  We don’t know where Nick is.

Fan 1:  Oh, that’s so sad.

Fan 3:  Is she okay?

Fan 2:  Why did he do that?

Kevin:  We don’t know.

Lydeea:  We’re going to give them some time alone

Fan 3:  Oh.

Fan 2:  Well, bye, I guess.

Fan 1:  It was nice meeting you.

The fans walk off and Kevin and Joe go to find Nick and Lydeea and Harmony go to find Melody.

 

Meanwhile, Nick is by himself.

Nick ( talking to himself):  Why did I do that?  I couldn’t have been more gentle?  Man, she wrote a song for me and I break up with her. Gosh I am so stupid.

Joe:  Yes you are.

Nick:  Joe?

Kevin:  Don’t forget me.

Nick:  What are you doing here?

Joe:  Looking for you.

Nick:  Why?

Kevin:  You broke up with Melody and you missed the meet and greet.

Nick:  Oh, well where is Melody.

Joe:  We don’t know.

Kevin:  Lydeea and Harmony are looking for her.
