Storyboard Text
- Mr & Ms. Tuck
- MAE! Why did you wake me? I was having that dream again, the one where we're in heaven..
- ...The one where we've never HEARD OF TREEGAP!
- There's no use having that dream. Nothing is going to change.
- Well Mr. Tuck, The boys will be home tomorrow...
- It's been 10 years since I went to Treegap. No one will remember me... It's been too long
- Meanwhile...
- Foster Residence
- Why are they all so controlling. I can never do anything on my own. I feel like a prisoner.
- I need to get out of here....
- But how, when their always watching, and waiting and controlling...
- I know..I'll leave when they're asleep...It'll have to be in the morning.
- Hey there, Do you know the people in this town?
- My father knows mostly everyone around here.
- WINNIE!!!!What are you doing talking to strangers!
- GET IN THE HOUSE!
- But...
- NO
- Sheesh! Can't do anything around here...
- Could I possibly ask you about this lovely town?
- Meanwhile, a strange melody floats through the trees across from the Foster's home
- I've heard that music before...long ago. It's Fairy Music
- Never mind! Go on, Winnie, get in the house
- Fairy Music?
- but grandmother...
- The next morning...
- I don't want t run away.Maybe, i'll just explore for a little while.
- and...What was that music about yesterday...
- hmph...So over protective...
- why's he covering that up?
- What is he doing?
- It's my wood.
- I'm Winnie
- I'm Jesse Tuck.
- Oh, I see. You're one of the Foster then?
- You might as well come out now. What are you doing here?
- oh no!
- Do you live near by? Do you come here a lot? No one's supposed to, its our wood...
- I'm just passing through but Thanks!
- No, I don't live near by and No, I don't come here a lot.
- How old are you anyway?
- No really....
- That's old
- Why do you want to know?
- One hundred and four
- If you must know, I'm seventeen.
- You have no idea!
- Are you married?
- Of course not! I'm only Ten.. Almost eleven
- Are you Married?
- Married? No Im not married!
- And then you'll get married!
- but why not? You were drinking from there.
- Why not? it's mine anyway! It's my wood.
- Is that a good drink? I'm thirsty!
- No..No..No..you can't drink the water from there!
- Believe, me Winnie it would be terrible if you drank from there.
- Just no. It wouldn't be good for you.
- If it didn't hurt you, It won't hurt me! If my papa was here, he'd let me have some.
- You're not going to tell him about it, are you?
- I knew this would happen sooner or later. Now what am I gonna do?
- Oh great, here comes Mom and Miles, they'll know what to do...
- Well boys, the worst has happened!
- Ahhhh... I'm being kidnapped!
- Don't be afraid child. We wouldn't harm you for the world.
- I'm not.
- If you would've screamed someone might have heard you...
- We'll explain everything when we're far enough
- I was going to run away today.
- Just teaching our little girl how to ride...
- Later on that day...
- Life. Moving Changing. Never the same.
- Even the water isn't the same
- Do you know what that is all around us, Winnie?
- Know what happens, to the water?The sun sucks it up
- It's a wheel, Winnie. Turning and never stopping.
- Carries it back to the clouds...and then it rains
- The frogs, bugs, fish...and people!
- Never the same ones. That's the way its supposed to be!
- The water moves... changes... but this rowboat here... it's stuck!
- That's what us Tucks are, Winnie... Stuck... So's we can't move on.
- We ain't part of the wheel no more. We were left behind. But everything around us keeps moving, growing and changing.
- Like you. You grow up, become a women... Have children and then you'll move on
- I don't want to DIE!!!
- No.. No. Not now, Your time is not now. But dying is part of the wheel..like being born is. Your part of the whole thing..that's the blessing.
- But what we have ain't living. We just are.
- I want to grow again. I want to move on... But I can't because of this Spring
- That's why you can't tell anyone about the Spring.
- They'd trample each other just to get some...and everyone would be stuck...right where they are.
- Do you see now, why no one can know?
- ...and they would know until after.
- PA!!! Something's happened!
- Back at the Tuck house...
- SOMEONE STOLE OUR HORSE!
- The man in the yellow suit goes to speak with the Foster's
- HELLO!May I come in?I know where they've taken the little girl.
