M has been inspired.

I received a text from P late last night, and somehow woke up with a song running through my head that reminded me of an event that took place last week. I mashed the two. This was the result.
Because I'm lazy and it's hard to do screenwriting format in a blog post, I'm going to pretty much disregard proper formatting entirely.

This scene is based on a true story.

The opening tune of "Welcome To The Black Parade" plays as there are opening credits on a black screen or something. We hear three girls--for the sake of simplicity, we will call them M, N, and P--singing along, melodramatically.

M, N, and P (voices)
When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city... to see a marching band.

Fade up on a red stoplight. There is one small white car sitting at the intersection, and the light won't change. There are three teenage girls in said car: M is at the driver's seat, N is in the passenger's seat, and P is in the backseat. They continue to sing along melodramatically, and improvise where they don't know the words.

M, N, and P
He said, Son, when you grow up, would you be the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned? He said, will you defeat them? La la la, and all the non believers, the na na na na na na... Because one day, I'll leave you, a na na, na na na in the summer, to join the Black Parade....

Musical interlude. They sway. Pause. The music picks up. They dance.

M, N, and P
Da na na na na na na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na. Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na na, Na na na na na na na na na naaaaa... WE'LL CARRY ON! WE'LL CARRY OONNNN. Na na na na! Na na na na na na, na na na na WE'LL CARRY ON! WE'LL CARRY OOONNN. Na na na na! Na na na na na na, na na na na... Da na na na na na na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na. Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na na naaaaa... WE'LL CARRY ON! WE'LL CARRY OONNNN. Na na na na! Na na na na na na, na na na na WE'LL CARRY ON! WE'LL CARRY OOONNN. Na na na na! Na na na na na na, na na na na NA NA.... Na na na na na na na na na, OHHHHH! Na na na na na na na na na, OHHHHH! Na na na na na! Na na na na na NA! NA! Na na NA! Na na NA na! Na na NA! Na na NA na! Na na NA! Na na NA na! Na na NA!Na na NA na! Na na NA! Na na NA na! Na na NA!Na na NA na! Na na NA!Na na NA na! Na na NA! Na na NA na!

Key change.

M, N, and P
Na na NA! Na na NA na! Na na NA!Na na NA na! Na na NA! Na na NA na NAAAAA.... NA! NA! WE'LL CARRY ON! WE'LL CARRY OOOONNN. Na na na na! Na na na na na na, na na na na NA NA WE'LL CARRY OOOOOONN Na na NA! Na na NA na! Na na NA! Na na NA na! Na na NA! Na na NA na NAAAAA....

The light finally turns green. M presses the gas and they zoom through the intersection.

M, N, and P
WE'LL CARRY ON! WE'LL CARRY OOOONNN. NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA WE'LL CARRY--

A unicorn runs out in front of the car. They all scream. M brakes, but not fast enough. They hit the unicorn.

As the song ends, they sit in the car in shocked silence, gasping, staring forward.

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE (on radio)
WE'LL CAARRYY OOOONNNN!



To be continued. By whoever wants to continue it.

Well...

Seeing as no one else has posted, I guess I will. I've been working on this idea for a story for a while now, it's really rough and not that good, but what the hell. I'll go for the gold. I have a character I thought of today who's really been interesting me. So far as I can tell (seeing as she hasn't quite been developed yet), she's about 5' 2" or 5' 3", with wavy/curly short, dark brown hair and bright blue (Elijah Wood) eyes. She's pretty rebellious, it seems, a smoker, but is sweet as well as edgy. Oh, and she's a drug addict. I don't know which drug exactly, it's been bouncing between pills and heroin, maybe both. It's not like I said "I want a drug addict character," it's just how it played out in my head.

She seems to have a hard past, probably with some kind of medical history or family problems, but as I said she just kind of popped in my head today and is currently taking over my thoughts, it seems she needs to form completely. I don't know if your guys' processes are like this, but mine certainly is; that's why I mostly just write characters. Her name is Annalise Avery Vaughan, but she goes by her middle name/family name, Avery. So, that's about it for now, just thought I would tell you all. Let's see where this goes!
