Laura's Happy Adventures1998

[first lines]

Laura:
[playing with her grandfather's stone collection] Grandpa's great, his stones are so pretty. I hope I have a rock collection as beautiful as his someday.

[she picks up a grey rock]

Laura:
It's a volcanic rock, I didn't know grandpa had ever explored a volcano.

[she clumsily drops the rock and it shatters revealing a pink-colored stone]

Laura:
Oh, no! What have I done. Look, there was something inside the stone.

[she examines the stone]

Laura:
That looks like a diamond, what's it doing in there?

[the diamond takes life of its own and begins to float and move around Laura]

Laura:
Wow, look at that!

Diamond:
Hello, Laura. Thanks for setting me free, I haven't seen daylight for years. A long time ago, I was the fairies' lucky charm. One day, one of the fairies lost me in a cave. Later, a volcano erupted and lava flowed over the cave floor. I was trapped in the rock until your grandfather chipped me out of the hardened lava. He had no idea that a lucky charm was inside that lump of rock. I've been trapped so long that I've lost my powers, but now that I'm free, I'd like to start bringing luck again. Especially to help you, Laura, because it was you who released me. To do that, all my facets must be lit up, just like they are now. Would you like me to become your lucky charm, Laura?

Laura:
[shyly] Yes, okay!

Diamond:
That's great! Now, all you need to do to make me sparkle is to please the people you love. By doing that, you contribute to everyone's happiness. Each time you make someone in your family happy, one of my faces will light up. And when all my facets are brightly sparkling I'll become your very own lucky charm. You'll see, Laura, that making the people around you happy is fantastic. And when people are happy, wonderful things often start to happen.

Laura:
[the diamond's light fades and Laura places it inside her back-pack] Well, that's the strangest thing I ever saw. I'd love to know what's behind this mystery. Anyway, I always like making the people around me happy, this should be fun! Okay then, pleasing people around me, now, where shall I start?
