Chief meets Mona Subway Regan Goss

Setting- NYC Subway

INTRO- The day was dark and gloomy when the silver bullet passed by. The newspapers were slashed about through the air as it passed by.  The Chief stood there nervously sporting a dark trench coat that hung below his knees. The mere sight of this seven foot monster scared the kids away from him. Mona, a young schoolgirl who was on a class trip, quickly noticed his extreme physical presence as he boarded the subway. He took a seat in the corner and quickly buried his face in his hands. Mona quickly noticed that inside he was not the monster that he appeared to be. She got up and went over to the man and sat besides him.

Dialogue-

Mona -“Hello”

The Chief looked up at her apprehensively; however, Mona continued to try and converse with him.

Mona- “Are you from around here?” .

The Chief continued to stare off, he was trying his hardest not to look at the girl

Mona- “Well I’m not from the city, I live out in the suburbs but I’m here to visit the statue of liberty with my school. It's the first time I have ever been on a field trip and I am so excited to see one of the country's greatest monuments. I absolutely love the history of this country. My favorite topic is Native Americans. You kind of look like one only you are much bigger than the pictures they show us in school”

The Chief lets out a thunderous moan, subtly acknowledging his Native roots to the young asian girl

Mona- “that’s really cool, why are you so big though. Every picture i’ve ever seen shows Natives being smaller than the white people.”

Mona gets up to rejoin her class as the Chief thinks deeply about what she said, suddenly he puts his hand on her shoulder and she turned around

Chief- “Don’t believe everything that they tell you, that's what they want you to do. If you don’t listen to everything they say then they can’t control.”

Mona(obviously confused)- “Okay, goodbye”

Mona rejoins her classmates while the Chief gets up and walks away. At the last moment they turn around and their eyes meet. In this moment, Mona understands what he had meant.
