Chapter 3: Cast and Credits

i know it’s weird, credits going now
even though we already had two full chapters
but that’s the way they do it in modern movies sometimes

yep it’s a movie too
as well as a book

sometimes other things as well

first we see the title, in big letters across the screen:

GREATION OF THE AZURE ELEPHANT

then, in a smaller font:

sequel to THE THREE CAPTAINS

prequel to ________ (fill in when there’s a sequel)

(note: on the cover it’s SËBUS, but that is only the cover title)

(the book’s official title is: GREATION OF THE AZURE ELEPHANT)

(there’s also an alternative title: HOW COSMOS LIT UP)

(unofficially, it’s just THE BOOK ABOUT HAPPINESS)

(also, it’s a WEHH book)

as we watch these lines slowly float away, we notice sëbus
he’s asleep in his bed

oh! he’s waking up

stretching

playing with opening and closing his eyes
wrapping and unwrapping the blanket

rolling every which way

knocking his elbow on the wall

talking gibberish
laughing

a quiet music is playing, and the cast is floating across the screen:

the last line floats up and away

on the screen, sëbus jumps up on the bed
he remembered something

he runs out of his room
into parents’ bedroom

“wake up!”

“mom! dad! enough sleeping! wake up!”

“we are flying today, don’t we? do we? when? dad!”

dad, wrapping himself in the duvet:
“we dooooo we are”

yawn
stretch

“we go we go we boldly go”

“jump in slam, fasten, rev up and gooooo”

all-family hug

birds singing ourside
end of chapter three
