Context
This scene occurs after Rainard announces that Onyx and Rose will be next to enter the Test of Love Tournament. The two opening paragraphs are technically the song lyrics to “The One I Love,” however I felt that they could be spoken to lengthen the scene. This scene showcases the connection between Onyx and Rose.

ROSE Onyx! Onyx!
Oh, now we finally get to prove our love tonight.
The forest, so they say, is the one and only way.
Together with the one I’ve always loved.
But what if we get separated inside?
Oh, that won’t be possible for the one I love.
ONYX Rose! Rose!
Yes, now we finally get to prove our love tonight.
The forest, yes indeed, is the one way to succeed.
Elvera does not scare me at all.
But Rose, where do you think the howling comes from?
But never mind that my love we will be just fine.
ROSE (upon seeing ONYX seemingly in a trance) Are you alright, my love?
ONYX (shaking his head as if clearing his thoughts) I’m fine, Rose. I’m just concerned about the wolves in the forest, you see. I wouldn’t want you to get hurt.
ROSE (laughing softly) Oh Onyx, when you will learn to let go of your fear and trust in our love? (Begins to blush) I like to think our love is strong enough to help us get through the forest together. (reassuringly to ONYX) Please do not fear Elvera, my dear. (Holds his hands) We need only believe in our love.
ONYX (pulling away from ROSE) That might not be enough, Rose. I need to see if the rumors about the Frost Forest are true before we begin our journey. (Suddenly realizes his pulling away from ROSE has made her upset, says reassuringly) I would want to keep you safe. Let me go into the forest alone and gauge how truly terrible it may be for myself.
ROSE (lovingly) Alright Onyx, you can go ahead of me to see if the rumors are true. Even if they are true, we must abide by the legend and go through the forest together.
ONYX (with understanding) I know that, my love. (Puts on the hood of his BLACK CLOAK) I shall return tonight!
ROSE fondly kisses ONYX on the cheek and ONYX exits STAGE LEFT towards the FROST FOREST.
