**MUSICAL PLAY** BGM (SPG + mmk piano background music) NARRATOR: This is the story of Apryll and Christa, dalawang batang babae na naghahanap ng kanilang lugar sa mundo. In a society filled with judgements and discrimination, kailangan nilang harapin ang mga hamon ng pagmamahalan sa isang mundo na hindi pa handa para sa kanilang pag-ibig.

Christa is definitely bisexual. ALTA: Annnd most importantly, Apryll and Christa are definitely dating. BULLIES: Ewwwww ENERO: That's so gross *(Rhian enters and confronted them)* MANATAD: Huy, mga way buot. Kahomophobic sad ninyo noh. Suya lang mo, naay sila, nya way kamo. Nya, ikaw Charlene, CADUNGOG: Huh??! *(Cadungog stands up)* SAYCON: Wait stop, don't tell me you support LGBT. That's so weird. Just think about it, a girl and a girl being together?? Oh for the love of God! That\'s not supposed to happen. RHEENA: That's disgusting! Only man and woman can be together! You're against the Church and God himself! The point of relationships is to have children. What's the point? ELITE: At least they can avoid teenage pregnancy *(Elite shrugs)* **MUSICAL PART 2** (APRYLL) [Mam](https://genius.com/13245995/Spring-awakening-original-broadway-cast-mama-who-bore-me/Mama-who-bore-me)a, is this right?

This is a hard fight [No way to handle things](https://genius.com/9046814/Spring-awakening-original-broadway-cast-mama-who-bore-me/Mama-who-gave-me-no-way-to-handle-things) It [made me so sad](https://genius.com/13502168/Spring-awakening-original-broadway-cast-mama-who-bore-me/Who-made-me-so-sad) Mama, the questions Mama, the doubts No peace in my heart or in my thoughts Some dream that, one day, clarity will come a-knockin\' I hold my breath, and pray for the light And some just lie there, yearning for the truth to embrace them And when it arrives, they\'ll be sure of the fight *(Apryll exits the classroom frustrated)* *(Christa & Rhian follows her)* CHRISTA: Apryll, hey. Are you okay? *(Apryll turns around)* Please don't listen to their nonsense. APRYLL: It's just so frustrating, you know? They can't understand us. RHIAN: Just ignore them uy. They're not worth your time. *(Charlene enters)* CHARLENE: Rhian... can we talk? RHIAN: Fine, I'll go sa ha? *(Charlene and Rhian exits)* CHRISTA: Should we just tell them? The truth will eventually come out. APRYLL: No! Can't you see that everyone's against us? Haven't you considered the\ aftermath?! What if we get left out? What if everyone hates us just because we love\ each other? CHRISTA: Apryll! Snap out of it! Do you really think that everyone's against us? I'm sure there are others who can understand us and that's what really matters.\ They don't have a say about our relationship and our identity. We are humans, we feel, we love, and it\'s their fault if they remain ignorant of that truth. *(Apryll & Christa hugs) (Switch scene to classroom)* RHIAN: What do you want? CHARLENE: I just... I just want to apologize for how we acted earlier. RHIAN: You should be! CHARLENE: Naglibog ko. Why are you siding with them? I mean, Apryll and Christa. I want to know what made you stand by their side. RHIAN: Isn't it obvious, they're my friends- CHARLENE: Except for that. I mean, they're both girls. RHIAN: Come on, we are in modern times already, we are all humans. They did not do any harm besides loving. Love is love, there are no specifications to that. It doesn't matter who it's between, love is beautiful and uncontainable. It's valid just like any other relationship. CHARLENE: Di mn gud siya normal, I don't think I can accept it jud! RHIAN: Is it that hard to accept? Just because we were told only to love a specific gender? NARRATOR: (*inner thoughts*) Bitaw sa, nano diay ko. What's wrong with a girl to girl relationship. Di mn ko masakitan kung uyab sila. NANO DIAY KO OYYY!!! *(Charlene is speechless, Rhian sighs and exits)* *(Bullies come in, and Charlene approaches them hesitant)* ALTA: Charlene, where were you? CHARLENE: Umm... guys, don't you think we should apologize to Christa and Apryll? We were too harsh... RHEENA: What is that nonsense you're talking about?? CHARLENE: I mean like- ELITE: Are you trying to side with them right now? CHARLENE: Paminaw sa! We should try to understand and not just blindly insult them. RHEENA: I don't think you should continue what you're gonna say, Charlene. CHARLENE: Pero I have to! It\'s like we\'re stuck in a cave! We\'re supposed to be progressive, open-minded people, pero we\'re acting like hypocrites. They\'re just two people who love each other. What\'s wrong with that? Is it really so hard to accept that love comes in all shapes and sizes? ALTA: She's gone insane! ALTA: Seriously Charlene? I can't believe you. True love is found between man and woman. End of story. ELITE: Oh, please. Are you serious? After all the trouble they\'ve caused? They\'re basically rebels, trying to rewrite the rules of society. They think they\'re so special, but they\'re just a bunch of trendsetters trying to ruin everything. RHEENA: If you don't want to be left out, then go on with that love nonsense. *(Bullies exit, Apryll & friends enter at the side, Charlene notices them)* CHARLENE: Apryll! *(waves at them)* *(Apryll just looks at her)* CHARLENE: Sorry naa APRYLL: What made you change your mind? CHARLENE: I've been thinking a lot about what you said. You're right. Love is love, no matter who it's between. I know I've made a lot of mistakes, and I'm ashamed of how I acted. I promise to be a better person. CHRISTA:...everyone makes mistakes, It's okay (smiles) CHARLENE: Thank you guys. Asa diay mo padung? APRYLL: Friends diay ta? Sorry, I'm not friends with homophobic people. *(sarcastic)* *(they laugh and make fun of each other)* CHARLENE: Bitaw sa, murag nagkagwapa lage si Rhian. NARRATOR: Katulad ng sa Alegorya ng Kuweba ni Plato, minsan ay kailangan nating lumabas sa ating mga limitasyon upang makita ang tunay na liwanag. Si Charlene, ay nagkaroon ng pagka kataon na lumabas mula sa kanyang madilim na kuweba ng mga preconception at diskriminasyon. At sa kanyang paglabas, natagpuan niya ang tunay na kahulugan ng pagmamahal, sa tulong ng magkasintahang pinto ng kaliwanagan at kamalayan, sina Apryll at Christa. BGM (MMK)
