[A few seconds later]
I wish that just once, I could be Camp Champ! I hate being last and I hate being here!
So do we, Christy. We can't swim. We can't paddle a boat... He's right. We'll always be last.
J John
And we'll always be doing trash duty.
And all the camp laundry.
Well, not me. Not anymore! (walking away from her fellow campers) I'm going to do something about it!
True Heart Bear (disguised as a hawk from the totem) That's the way, Christy.
[Trying to run away from camp along with Christy, Dawn and John get lost in the nearby woods.]
I'm sure this is the way, John.
J John
It will probably lead you right back here.
Well, it seems John and Dawn are having problems of their own.
J John
[Dawn heads down the path she pointed to only to come back to John through another path.]
...See what I mean? We're lost! We can't even run away right.
(sighs)
Yeah, we're the first to get lost and the last at everything else.
This is the path back to camp...if you wanna take it.
My name is True Heart. I'm a friend. I've come to help you find your way back to camp.
DA Dawn and John
Forget it!
J John
We're not coming back to camp.
Running away from a problem never solved it. You two are just too worried about the things you can't do. Maybe you should think about all the things you can do.
That's not true. For starters, everyone can share their feelings.
Huh! Nobody wants to share anything with us.
J John
We're just LOSERS!
[After Dawn and John arrive in the Kingdom of Caring, before babysitting the orphan Cubs]
John (holding Swift Heart): What's that?
It's our Caring Meter. It lets us know when something is affecting the level of caring on Earth.
This time, it might be...Dark Heart.
Dark Heart? Who's Dark Heart?
Let's hope you never have to find out!
If it is Dark Heart, it'll take both of us! (kindly) Could you watch over the little Cubs while we're gone?
Dawn (after she and John look at the Cubs): Uh...I think so.
J John
Sure.
Noble Heart Horse (as he and True Heart leave): We know you can do it. Good luck.
[No sooner does he close the door than Swift Heart and the other Cubs start crying.]
[Christy is throwing stones at the lake when her friends Dawn and John come by.]
Christy?
(sighs)
John? Dawn? Oh, what are you doing here? Run away before he gets you too!
No, Christy. We're staying!
We can make things go back to just the way they were before Dark Heart came here.
[Christy goes away from them, over to the lake's edge.] Christy (turning to Dawn and John): Since I've been Camp Champ, I've never made you do trash duty, or push you in the mud. Well, no one laughs at you anymore when you trip or fall on your face...I won't let 'em! Oh, I can't go back to being a nobody...not now!
You were never a nobody, Christy.
J John
You were always good at being our friend.
And a friend is the most special person in the world.
(grunts and gets away from them again)
I made a bargain with him. I had to keep my part of it. Oh, it's too late! The damage has been done!
All right. You've paid him back. Now you have to stop him from hurting all the others.
J John
It's time you start thinking of them...of your friends. (giving Christy her marble) You were always the marble champ, Christy, and that you did all by yourself.
[Christy looks at the marble, and then at her friends.]
Dawn! John! Wait for me!
[She joins the other two campers in order to stop Dark Heart.]
