ext. shed
Cody jumps out of the shed door surprisec. She lets her book bag drop from her shoulder to the ground.
CODY
Mason!? (She looks around then hears his playing in the woods.)
Cody is now out of overalls and is wearing blue jeans and boots with a white T.
CODY
Hey! Hey what I tell you about getting in the shed when I'm not around? (Jogs into the woods.)
MASON
Hey, Cody. I forgot.
CODY
What did you do with the pot?
MASON
What?
CODY
The pot. The pot that was on the table.
mason
There wasn't a pot when I got there.
CODY
Not 'a' pot. Weed Marijuana.
MASON
Oh. (Looks gulty.)
CODY
You do know what marijuana is?
MASON
I know! (Offended)
CODY
(Beat. Smirk)
Mason you...? Did you smoke it?
MASON
No way! I don't want to go crazy and jump out a window.
CODY
Oh. (Disappointed. Shoves hands in pockets.)
MASON
Besides, only losers get stoned. I don't want to smell like a loser.
Now Cody looks guilty.
CODY
Right. For a minute I though you'd turned into a wild man on me.
Mason turns to get his back pack. Cody sniffs her dark blue button up short sleeve over shirt, checking for pot smoke smell.
MASON
How'd it get in the shed anyway?
CODY
Oh uh... (Scratches above ear) I don't know I guess somebody-. Hey what's that you're wearing?
Mason looks at chest plate almost hidden by his overshirt.
CODY
Did you get that from the shed? (Walks over. Pushes over shirt aside.) Ya lil theif. (Jokingly)
MASON
I was going to put it back.
CODY
(Squints eyes.)
How'd you get this thing on you like that?
MASON
Oh. It's easy once you get it. You see the buckles have a visual puzzle on it just like the IQ tests they gave me.
CODY
And you figured that out? (Puts her hand out as if to say 'HELLOOO'.) Geez how is it you still need me to tutor you?
Mason shrugs.
MASON
Somethings are harder than others. Tests are easy.
CODY
What are you doing with it anyway?
MASON
It's my parachute. Wanna see?
CODY
Parachute? I bet that thing's strong enough you could use it to repel. Hang on I'll be right back. Let me get my pullies.
