Tuck Everlasting Audio Drama

Project Overview

A fanfiction for Tuck Everlasting to be turned into a recording!

Summary: Lena Bennett is Winnie Foster's best friend who has become like a big sister to her.

When Winnie gets news that she is to be sent away to boarding school, she runs away to the woods and Lena follows her to get her to calm down and think reasonably.

The two girls become lost and eventually run into a younger boy.  When he insists that Winnie can't drink the spring water, the two of them are kidnapped by the boy's brother and brought back to their house in the middle of the woods.

The family is known as the Tucks: Angus, Mae, Miles, and Jesse.  Winnie and Jesse quickly hit it off, but Lena is left with the rest of the family to try to continue to cope with her situation.

The longer Lena spends at the Tuck's, the more she feels like she has found a real family.

Lena soon reveals to Miles her dark past and the life she had before she met him.  From there, the two of them begin to form a bond that Lena has never experienced.

Miles eventually tells Lena and Winnie the truth: the Tuck family will never grow old and will never die.  He also tells them the story of his past wife and children who left him because she was afraid of him.

Now knowing this, Lena must decide whether she wants to drink the spring water and be with Miles forever.

Role assigned to: Phoenix_Emrys

the mother of Jesse and Miles; starts to become a mother-figure towards Lena; very tender and loving

  • (extremely tender) There, there, child. Please don’t cry.  We’re not bad people. We’ll take you both home just as soon as we can. I promise.

  • You know, I believe that you’ve done something for Miles than none of us have been able to do.  You’ve opened him up again. He’s changed since you and Winnie both arrived here. It’s a much needed change too.  I know you’re not exactly here of your own accord, but it’s been quite nice to have the company. We don’t usually get visitors. (a beat) Miles told me about what you said to him a while ago.  Lena, you don’t need to keep quiet about who you are and where you come from. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had such a hard time at home.  Though the circumstances are quite unusual, you will always have a home here with us Tucks.

  • (motherly) You look beautiful.

  • She still didn’t know why exactly they had been taken. What was the point of all this?  She had so many questions. There was one thing she was most curious about though.  What had happened to make Miles so hard-hearted?

  • Lena suddenly forgot how to breathe.  That was the first time anyone had ever called her beautiful.

  • The two of them made eye contact and went closer to each other. Before Lena knew what was happening, Miles pressed his hand to the back of her head and pulled her closer to him until their lips were touching. The kiss was gentle and kind and everything Lena ever wanted as they both treaded water near the small little waterfall.

Role assigned to: erza-scarlet

a 19-year-old girl who is tired of the formality required of her; very sweet and kind; sisterly towards Winnie and protective of her; falls in love with Miles

  • (to Miles; sharply) You’re hurting.  I get that. Mae told me what happened with you and your family. But you should look beyond your own pain and realize that you are not the only one suffering!

  • (tenderly) I am so sorry.  I had no right to yell at you when I didn’t know the whole story. (a beat) You have been through so much more than one person should ever have to go through.

  • (on the verge of tears) Winnie, you’ll always be my best friend. You know that. But I can’t stay here.  I’ve finally felt what it’s like to have a family. I can’t lose that now. I can’t just go back to the way I was living.  I told you at the beginning of the summer that when it comes to love, you just know. And right now, I know. How can I stay when...I'm in love?

RECASTING

around 22 or 23 years old; extremely hard-hearted after his wife and children left him, but starts to open up again when he meets Lena; barely discernible Southern accent

  • Trust them? We can’t trust them. Or any normal people. They’ll turn on us in a second.  (a beat) You’re a fool. You don’t even realize what you’ve done here.

  • You’ve taught me how to love again.  I never thought anyone could do that.

  • Tuck figured it early on. It’s the spring. We all drank from it, even the horse. Had to be. The source of our changelessness. (starting to get emotional) I begged her to come back. For me. And find the spring and drink from it. The children, too. It was our only hope to be together. She made up her mind I’d sold my soul to the Devil…and she left me. She took my babies with her.  Everyone…pulled away after that. There was talk of witchcraft…black magic. I went looking for wars to fight. And I saw brave men die at Vera Cruz, and then Gettysburg. Thousands, in the blink of an eye.  But not me. I couldn’t die. (now on the verge of tears) Like little Anna. The influenza took her before she’s fifteen. And Beau. He’d be almost eighty now if he were still alive. And my sweet…my sweet young bride. She died in an insane asylum. Old and alone. But I’m still here! I’m still here!

Role assigned to: hotrodjman

17-year-old boy; free-spirited and wild; falls in love with Winnie

  • How long have you both been standing there?  You shouldn’t…be in these parts of the woods. It’s best you both turn around and go home. (neither of them move) Well, go on, now, get! (W: Excuse me, but I own these woods, and we’ll ‘go on and get’ when we want to.) You own these woods? (W: Yes, I do.) What’s your name? (W: Winifred. Winnie. Foster.) A Foster? Well, I’ll be. Is that a fact?  You a Foster too? (L: No, I’m just a…friend of the family, so to speak. My name’s Lena Bennett.)  Well, Winnie Foster and Lena Bennett, like I was saying you need to turn around and go home.  (W: It just so happens that we were on our way home before you made your rude suggestion and we would be happy to continue on our way. If we only knew which way to go...) In other words, you’re lost?  I’ll point you home.  (W: I’d be much obliged.  But I want a drink first.) (quickly) Wait! No! No!  You don’t want that water. Uh, it’s poisoned.  (W: I saw you drink some.)  Well, now I’m feeling sick.  (W: You don’t look ill.  I’m dry as dust.)  I said leave it alone!  (W: Let go of me!  My father will have you arrested!) Well, you’re not going to go and tell him now, are you?

  • You are the first human I’ve ever met I wanted to know the truth.

  • (calling as the family departs) Winnie Foster, I will love you 'til the day I die!

wants to sell the water for profit; attempts to kill Winnie before he is killed by Mae

  • Forgive me for interrupting such a tender moment.  Hello, Winifred. Lena.  Everyone’s been so worried about you.

  • It’s immediately clear to me that the water’s powers have been wasted on…unimaginative people like you. I intend to make this ‘fountain of youth’, as the simpletons would call it, available to those who deserve it. For a price, of course.

Role assigned to: picturesqueoutlaw

father of Jesse and Miles; becomes a fatherly figure to Lena

  • They’re the most important event that’s taken place in this house in eighty years.

  • Would you like to help, Miss Bennett? Shave off the top part of this wood to make it smooth and easier to work with.

  • You were once children. Now, Winnie, you are about to become a woman. One day, you’ll grow up and you’ll do something important. You’ll have children, maybe. And you, Lena, are already a woman. You are on your way to making a name for yourself and understanding more about what it means to be an adult. You’ve taken care of Winnie as if she were family to you. You’ve greatly matured from the young girl you once were. And then one day, you’ll both go out…just like the flame of a candle. You’ll make way for new life. That’s a certainty. That’s the natural way of things.
