TWO WORLDS BY AMY COLE

DEAD AIR PRODUCTIONS FADE IN EXT. STREET DAYTIME

ALEXA (17) Blonde hair girl, runs around the corner of the street. She slips but manages to hold on to the wall to stop her from falling over. ALEXA gathers herself and continues running until she gets to her house. As ALEXA closes the door to her house three/two girls run past her house. The girls are shouting and are obviously chasing after ALEXA.

EXT. ALEXAS BEDROOM DAYTIME

ALEXA runs into her bedroom closes the door as she starts to calm down she hears someone banging on her front door and hears people shouting loudly. ALEXA panics and rushes to her wardrobe, she opens it and climbs in. As she is moving to the back of her wardrobe she falls backwards.

EXT. GARDEN DAYTIME

ALEXA is on the ground (as if she had just fallen out of her wardrobe) wearing different clothing and her hair is styled up. The garden fits the time period (1960s) and there is another girl in the garden with her. This girl, CLARISSA, is in period clothing and is sitting having a picnic. ALEXA gets up and looks around in a confused fashion and notices CLARISSA.ALEXAWhere am I?

CLARISSA looks up and smiles at her and laughsCLARISSA Youre in a garden, my back garden to be precise. (Pause) Dont you remember that I invited you over for a picnic? ALEXAIs this some kind of joke! I dont even know you and what year is this any way!

CLARISA picks up a newspaper and hands it over to ALEXA. ALEXA takes the newspaper and looks at the date in shock.CLARISSA Its 1964. Are you feeling all right ALEXA? ALEXAHow is this possible? I was in my wardrobehiding from how you even know my name!? I dont even know you!CLARISSA Of course I know your name! Im your friend! You must have hit your head. (Sarcastically) Im CLARISSA by the way if you forgot.

CLARISSA rolls her eyes and stand up. She walks over to ALEXA and tries to gently lead her to the picnic blanket. As she sits down, ALEXA finally notices her new attire and is perplexed.ALEXAThis is insane! What the hell am I wearing!?CLARISSA (Sarcastically) Well you did say you were in a wardrobe.

ALEXAYeah I was in a wardrobe! I was running fromCLARISSANo, you came over to my house and we set up this exquisite picnic and then you being you, you fell asleep.ALEXAThis cant be happening I was running from those girls from school. They were chasing me, I cant remember why though. I just know I had to get away CLARISSAMaybe you were dreaming

ALEXA ponders the thought for a few moments before replying.ALEXA(Dazed)I guess that makes sense but it felt so real

Both CLARISSA and ALEXA pause and the awkward silence is broken by CLARISSACLARISSA(Excitedly)Gosh all this talk about a silly dream has got you all worked up ALEXA! You almost made me forget that I have something to give to you!

CLARISSA opens up the picnic basket and picks up a small box covered with tissue paper and a ribbon.CLARISAI thought I would get you an early birthday gift! I couldnt wait till next month!

CLARISSA holds out the present and gestures for ALEXA to take it.ALEXAThis is the so weird (In a grateful tone) uhh you shouldnt have (Awkwardly) thank you.

ALEXA gingerly takes the present.CLARISSAOpen it now! I cannot wait to see how much you like my gift!

ALEXA slowly opens the gift feeling very guilty for not being able to remember her friend. CLARISSA looks on whilst sipping at her cup of tea. The gift is two bracelets that look identical. ALEXA is guilt-ridden as she realises that the bracelets are friendship bracelets.CLARRISA(Upset) Do you not like it? ALEXANo I love the braceletsCLARISSA I got them so you could always remember that we are friends, (smirks) if you remember me at all!ALEXA(Bemused) Its not my fault, I came from a wardrobe.

CLARISSA starts to laugh. CLARISSA Well whether you remember me or not, would you like some help putting the bracelet on?

ALEXA nods and CLARISSA helps her with her bracelet. ALEXA does the same for her. CLARISSA looks at her watch and realises the time. CLARISSAOh gosh look at the time! I didnt realise late it was! I guess we should and get inside before it gets chilly.

ALEXA yawns and realises how tired she is and CLARISSA notices. CLARISSA(Laughing) you tired arent you!ALEXAIm not

ALEXA blacks out and is suddenly back in the wardrobe.ALEXATired ALEXA gets out of her wardrobe in shock and jumps when she hears the doorbell go and hears people shouting. But she also hears someone elses voice through the all the shouting. UNKNOWN Shes not in girls, come back some other time.

ALEXA waits until the other girls are gone and looks out her bedroom window. She sees an older woman walking past. As ALEXA stares at her, the older woman looks back and waves at her. ALEXA can clearly see the bracelet on the womans wrist. It was identical to hers. The woman then walks away without looking back. ALEXA smiles as she knows that was CLARISSA and ALEXA just waves back in shock.
