Story
Start of Part 6.

(Scene: Empress's Room)

(Gil walks into the room. Before him was the Childlike Empress in person. The Childlike Empress has olive skin and purple hair in 2 little pigtails. She sits silently on her bed, her gaze never leaves Gil.)

Childlike Empress: Gil, why do you look so sad?

(He takes off the Auryn and hands it to her. She looks at it, and then him for an explanation.)

Gil: I have failed you, Empress.

Childlike Empress: No, you haven't. You've brought him with you.

Gil: Who?

Childlike Empress: The Earthling child. The one who can save us all.

Gil: You knew about the Earthling child?!

Childlike Empress: Of course. I knew everything.

(Gil grows angry with her.)

Gil: My horse died, I nearly drowned, and I just barely got away from the Nothing. For what?! To find out what you already knew?!

Childlike Empress: It was the only way to get in touch with an Earthling.

Gil: But I didn't get in touch with an Earthling!

Childlike Empress: Yes, you did.

(Scene: School Attic)

(Nonny sits up slowly as the Childlike Empress talks on.)

Childlike Empress: He has suffered with you. He went through everything you went through. And now, he has come here with you.

(Scene: Empress's Room)

Childlike Empress: He's very close. Listening to every word that we say.

(Gil looks around, as does she.)

(Scene: School Attic)

Nonny: What?!

(Scene: Empress's Room)

(Two fragments of Fantasia collide and explode shaking the Tower violently.)

Gil: Where is he? If he's so close, why doesn't he arrive?!

Childlike Empress: He doesn't realize that he's already a part of the Neverending Story.

Gil: The Neverending Story, what's that?

Childlike Empress: Just as he is sharing all your adventures, others are sharing his. They were with him when he hid from the boys in the bookstore.

(Scene: School Attic)

Nonny: But that's impossible!

(Scene: Empress's Room)

Childlike Empress: They were with him when he took the book with the Auryn symbol on the cover, in which he's reading his own story right now.

(Scene: School Attic)

Nonny: I can't believe it, they can't be talking about me.

(Scene: Empress's Room)

(The Ivory Tower cracks. Gil turns around to see where it cracked, then he turns back to the Empress.)

Gil: What will happen if he doesn't appear?!

Childlike Empress: Then our world will disappear, and so will I.

Gil: How can he let that happen?!

Childlike Empress: He doesn't understand that he's the one who has the power to stop it. He simply can't imagine that one little boy could be that important.

(Scene: School Attic)

Nonny: Is it really me?

(Scene: Empress's Room)

Gil: Maybe he doesn't know what he has to do!

(Scene: School Attic)

Nonny: What do I have to do?!

(Scene: Empress's Room)

Childlike Empress: He has to give me a new name. He's already chosen it, he just has to call it out.

(Scene: School Attic)

Nonny: It's only a story, it's not real. It's only a story.

(Scene: Empress's Room)

(The Ivory Tower shakes and cracks some more. Gil falls over backward and is knocked unconscious.)

(Scene: School Attic)

Nonny: Gil! No!

(Scene: Empress's Room)

Childlike Empress: Gil!

(The courtyard is being taken away by the Nothing. Because of Nonny's new found disbelief, the Nothing has grown stronger and is now attacking the last remaining part of Fantasia.)

Childlike Empress: Nonny, why don't you do what you dream, Nonny?

(Scene: School Attic)

Nonny: But I can't! I have to keep my feet on the ground!

(Scene: Empress's Room)

Childlike Empress: Call my name! Nonny, please! Save us!

(Scene: School Attic)

Nonny: Alright, I'll do it. I'll save you. I will do what I dream!

(He climbs up to the window and opens it. He leans out into the storm and calls out the name he had chosen for her.)

Nonny: Oona!

(Scene: Darkness)

(It starts to get dark, pure and black as night. Nonny speaks.)

Nonny: Why is it so dark?

Oona: In the beginning, it is always dark.

(A small light appears and starts growing until the two children's faces are illuminated. It is coming from an object in Oona's hand. Nonny looks at it.)

Nonny: What is that?

Oona: One grain of sand. It is all that remains of my vast empire.

Nonny: Fantasia has totally disappeared?

Oona: Yes.

Nonny: Then everything has been in vain.

Oona: No, it hasn't. Fantasia can arise in you. In your dreams and wishes, Nonny.

Nonny: How?

Oona: Open your hand.

(She puts the grain into his hand and he looks at it.)

Oona: What are you going to wish for?

Nonny: I don't know.

Oona: Then there will be no Fantasia anymore.

Nonny: How many wishes do I get?

Oona: As many as you want. And the more wishes you make, the more magnificent Fantasia will become.

Nonny: Really?

Oona: Try it.

Nonny: Then my first wish is...

(Oona follows his gaze and smiles.)

(Scene: Above Fantasia)

(Nonny rides on Bubble Puppy. Below them, Fantasia has been reborn. Everything appears as before.)

Nonny: Bubble Puppy, it's even more beautiful than I thought.

Bubble Puppy: Like it?

Nonny: Bubble Puppy, it's wonderful!

(Nonny looks around.)

Nonny: Bubble Puppy, it's like the Nothing never was.

(They fly over the Rockbiting Ogre, Pinkfoot, and Pronto. Nonny waves to them and the Ogre waves back. They change their direction and suddenly below them is a great endless field, the Great Plains. Nonny looks down and sees a familiar face from his imagination, only now it's real.)

Nonny: Gil! Rusty!

(Gil looks up, laughs, and waves as he and Rusty are headed for home.)

Bubble Puppy: What would you like to wish for next?

(Nonny leans over and whispers in his ear. Bubble Puppy laughs.)

(Scene: City Street)

(Tobias, Jonesy, and Joshua were talking out on the street where they had chased Nonny the day before. They look up at the sky as Bubble Puppy and Nonny appear and start chasing them. They scream.)

Tobias: A monster!

Nonny: Yeah! Look there they are! Get 'em, Bubble Puppy. Let's see how you like it, chickens!

Tobias: Down here!

(One of them cries pointing to the alley. They start to rest, but Bubble Puppy chases them down there too. They start running again.)

Nonny: We're gonna get you guys!

(They run down the alley and jump into the dumpster as Bubble Puppy flies by them, laughing. They peer out of the dumpster and then duck back in.)

Narrator: Nonny made many other wishes and had many other amazing adventures before finally returning to the ordinary world. But that's another story.

The End!
