Read the excerpt from the play Apple Picking. But also, I am timed! Brainliest if correct! Scene Two

In the kitchen of the old farmhouse. There is an old dusty table and chairs, but everything else including the stove is gone. The windows are broken, the curtains tattered, and the wallpaper peeling. The wind is picking up and blowing through. The children are calming down. Mischa looks out the broken window where a large dead tree sits close to the house, while Luke sits at the old table. The sack of apples sits on the table.

Mischa: It's almost here Luke. The branches on the trees are swaying all over the place.

Luke: (Looking at the old tree through the window) Come away from the window Mischa. It's a really bad storm, that's for sure.

Mischa: (sitting down in the chair opposite Luke.) I think it's a tornado.

Luke: It's not a tornado, but those are some heavy winds.

The wind picks up and the curtains sway violently. Something smacks up against the side of the house.

Luke: What was that? It's picking up.

Mischa: Where are Mom and Dad? Why aren't they here to help us?

Luke: Never mind that. We need to worry about ourselves right now. I think we should go down to the ...

Suddenly, a tree branch hits the window smashing it even more than it was. Luke and Mischa scream.

Mischa: (Yelling) To the basement!

The children run toward the basement when Mischa stops and turns back.

Luke: (Still yelling) What are you doing? Come back!

Mischa: (Still yelling) The apples! I need to grab the apples!

Luke: Mischa no!

Mischa runs to grab the apples. She gets a hold of the sack and turns around toward the basement again. As she gets to the basement door, the old large tree snaps, cracks, and falls through the kitchen wall. She is okay, but shaken.

Scene Three

The children are in the dark basement and can hear cracks, smashes, and the wind howling. They are holding each other and are quite scared.

Luke: (Trying to be brave) Everything is going to be okay.

Mischa: (Trying to be brave) Where is Mom and Dad? Why aren't they here yet?

The sound of the cracks, smashes, and wind start to die down.

Mischa: I think the storm is ending.

Luke: Yeah, I think so.

Mischa: (Heading up the stairs to peek) I'm just going to check if everything is okay.

Luke: Be careful.

As Mischa opens the basement door, there is debris everywhere. She can't get the door completely open. Just then, she hears more smashing, like glass being broken.

Mischa: (Turning back to Luke) Oh know! The storms back! How are we going to get home now?

Luke: That doesn't make sense, let me take a look.

As Luke tries to push the door open, it swings open easily. It is being pulled by their Mom and Dad on the other side.

Dad: Luke! Mischa! Are you okay? Your Mom and I were so worried. We tried to find you, but the storm kept us from getting to you until now.

Mom: (overjoyed) You found them? Oh Mischa, Luke! You must have been so scared. (Hugging them) I was so worried.

Mischa: (Holding the sack of apples.) We're so happy to see you! (Handing the apples to her mother) We picked you some apples.

Luke: And you'd better make the best apple pie ever after all of that.

The whole family laughs as they hug each other.

How do the events in scene two complement the events in scene three?

In scene two, the parents are introduced which leads to the children seeking safety in the basement in scene three.
In scene two, the children are completely safe after running to the house, and they remain safe throughout scene three.
In scene two, the children feel like they are safe after running to the house, but in scene three, they must leave the house and run to the basement before they are actually safe.
If Mischa had not wanted to save the apples in scene two, she would have never been safe in the basement with Luke in scene three.
