Sophie: So...what you're saying is that I'm...an alien?
Fitz: *laughs* No, you're an elf.
Sophie: An elf *giggles*
Fitz: You don't believe me, do you?
Sophie: Did you expect me to?
Fitz: No, I guess not. *runs hand through hair* I really am telling the truth. I don't know what else to say.
Sophie: Okay then. Fine. I'm an elf. Am I supposed to help Frodo destroy the ring and save Middle-earth? Or do I have to make toys in the North Pole?
Fitz: *sigh* What if I showed you proof?
Sophie: Sure, this ought to be good.
Fitz: *takes out pathfinder*
Sophie: Is that your magic wand?
Fitz: *rolls eyes* It's a pathfinder. *spins crystal* This can be dangerous, so you have to do exactly what I tell you to. Promise?
Sophie: It depends, what do I do?
Fitz: Take my hand and only concentrate on holding on. You cannot think about anything else, no matter what. Can you do that?
Sophie: Um, why?
Fitz: Do you want proof or not? *holds hands* Okay, it's just us now. We go on three. Ready?
Sophie: What happens on three?
Fitz: One. *raises wand* Two. *tightens grip* Three. *pulls her forward*
*pretty scenery* You can let go of my hand now.
Sophie: *jumps* *lets go of his hand* Where is this?
Fitz: Our capital, Eternalia. I think humans have called it Shangri-la.
Sophie: Shangri-la. *shakes head* It's real?
Fitz: All the Lost Cities are real. Just not exactly how you'd imagine them, humans rarely get anything right. Like those ridiculous things about elves.
Sophie: *laughs* That's true. *looks around* Hey, where is everyone?
Fitz: *points* That blue banner means a tribunal is in progress. I bet everyone is watching the proceedings.
Sophie: A tribunal?
Fitz: Oh, it's when The Council—basically royalty—holds a hearing to decide if someone has broken a law. It's kinda a big deal whenever done happens.
Sophie: Why?
Fitz: *shrugs* Laws are rarely broken here,
Sophie: So...this is magic?
Fitz: *laughs* No. Magic is a stupid concept that humans came up with to try to explain things they couldn't understand.
Sophie: Okay, then why are we here when just 5 minutes ago we were in San Diego?
Fitz: *holds pathfinder to sun* Light leaping. We basically just rode on a bean of light huh at was headed here.
Sophie: *scoffs* That's impossible.
Fitz: Is it?
Sophie: Well yeah. You need infinite energy for light travel, it's a thing called the theory of relativity.
Fitz: *laughs* That's the dumbest thing I've heard. Who thought of that?
Sophie: Albert Einstein.
Fitz: I've never heard of him, but he was wrong. *grabs her hand* Concentrate harder this time.
*ocean breeze* *points to castle* Then how did we get here? *pause* You look confused,
Sophie: You're kind of saying, 'Hey Sophie, throw away everything you've ever learned about anything.
Fitz: That is what I'm saying. *grins* Humans do the best they can-but their minds n to comprehend the complexities of reality.
Sophie: What, elvin minds are better?
Fitz: Of course. That's why you're so far ahead in your class. Even an elf with no proper education can beat a human.
Sophie: *slumps* I really am an elf.
Fitz: *nods*
CUT!
