So this is something I made for school. Please give your opinions on it!

The Flat Tire

(Enter Eve, Ed, Tom, Alex, and Penny packing their car)

Tom: So when does this concert start?
Ed: 7:30! We've got an hour and a half, and the arena's 50 minutes away.

(Alex starts the car)

Alex: If we're all packed, then let's go!

(Everybody gets in, and the “car” leaves the driveway)

Eve: Wait! I forgot my popcorn.
Tom: Ugh…fine.

(The “Car” stops, and Eve exists stage left).

Penny: So should we get some gas?
Alex: Nope! We're full-

(Ed motions to his phone)

Ed: 50 minutes.
Alex: Ok, we'll get some along the way.

(Enter Eve stage left, Eve enters the car)

Penny: Everybody's here! Let's go!

(Scene 1 over)

(Scene 2 start with “Car” speeding through a grassland)

Tom: ALEX!
Alex: Yeah?
Tom: WHEN THEY CALLED THE THING AN OFF-ROADER, THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU COULD DRIVE IT THROUGH A FIELD!
Alex: Ok.

(He switches to the road on a dirty, bumpy, concrete street)

Alex: Better?
Penny: No.
Ed: Not really.
Eve: Could you slow down?

(Car Stops)

Eve: Wow, thanks!
Ed: Hey, look there's a gas station the road! Can we stop there?
Alex: But……I didn't….

(Penny and Alex gets out of the car)

Penny: Oh, my legs…
Alex: Guys.

(Ed and Tom get out)

Ed; But shouldn't we pull up to the gas station first?
Alex: GUYS.

(Eve gets out)

Eve: Can I use the-
Alex: GUYS!

(Silence)

Alex: There's a flat tire.
Everyone else: Oh…..
Tom: No.
Penny: So what are we gonna do?
Alex: I'll call for the nearest repairman.
Eve: Lets just go inside the gas station.
Penny: Ok.

(Scene 2 over)

(Scene 3 starts with everybody going inside of the gas station, except for Alex)

Ed: Hello?
Penny: The gas station's empty, Ed.
Tom: So what are we gonna do?

(Eve exit stage right)

Ed: So…she's in the bathroom…should we pay, or…
Tom: I don't know. I don't really trust a dirty gas station.
Ed: That's understandable.
Penny: Yeah…let's leave.

(Eve screams, everybody rushes to the bathroom)

Ed: Oh my gosh, what happened?
Eve: So I was washing my hands when…well, look!

(Eve points to a newly discovered room)

Eve: And now there's a room full of money, computers, and a guy who's asleep!
Ed:…

(Ed takes out his phone)

Phone: 911, what's your emergency?

(Scene 3 over)

(Scene 4 starts, outside the gas station, all characters here)

Police Officer: So we think we know what happened.
Alex: Well I don't! I was outside the whole time!
Penny: Well, there was this stack of money in this gas station, and it was hidden behind the faucet of the lady's room.
Ed: I still don't understand. Why would that be?
Police Officer: Well, the gas station was just a cover-up for a robbery planning secret base for a bunch of criminals. The reason they kept it dirty was to not attract visitors. Because you kids had to stop here, you stopped the criminals from doing any major damage, and potentially saved a life.

(Silence)

Tom: So are you gonna fix our car?

(Scene 4 end)
