The Big Day
Monalisa Tayong

SCENE 1. EXT. HOME – DAY

(Lisa and Lily are best friends and it would take a lot of fight to separate them – until Mona came.)

LISA: Hey, wait up.

(She runs to Lily)

LILY: Hey, how is your mum?

LISA: Good. She wanted to know if you could come over.

LILY: Sure, you know I would love too.

NARRATOR: The bell ring and they go to class…. at home
LILY: Hi, Mrs Machin. Hi, Mr Machin.

MR AND MRS MACHIN: Hi, Lily.

LISA: Hi, mum. Hi, dad.
MUM AND DAD: Hi, sweetie pie.

LISA: Stop, not in front of my BFF!

MUM: Okay.

SCENE 2. EXT. GARDEN – DAY

NARRATOR: In the garden when they stopped arguing…

LISA: Let’s build a den in the woods. LILY: Great idea.

NARRATOR: They built a den when a girl named Mona appeared.

MONA: Can I join in? LILY: We’re finished.

LISA: Sure, we can find something new like tag.

LILY: Okay.

MONA: Thanks.

LISA: You’re welcome.

NARRATOR: Lily doesn’t like Mona, but Lisa has a strong feeling about her.

NARRATOR: They play until Mona wants to show them something. [CACKLE] Little did they know it will… send them to the underworld.

LISA: (AMAZED) Wow.

LILY: We should be going now, your mum will be worried.

MONA: Nonsense!
LISA: Rubbish. Let’s stay a little longer!

LILY: (SCARED) Can I go home now?

LISA: (BEGS) Please stay.
LILY: (WORRIED) Fine.
MONA: Enough! Who is going in?

NARRATOR: They played a game. Lisa lost and had to go in… Lily felt she had lost her brain and she didn’t know what to do.

LILY: Don’t do it, please, Lisa! LISA: I’m sorry I have to. (Lisa slowly walks to the door)

LISA: Bye, Lily.

LILY: No, no, no. Lisa, you left me!

(She falls to the ground in tears.)

NARRATOR: With Lisa gone, the portal closed and Mona had disappeared. Lily couldn’t move.

SCENE 3. INT. UNDERWORLD – NIGHT

LISA: Where am I? (REALISES) Welcome to the Underworld. Mona, you sly dog, I hate you. I hate you!

(Lisa drops to the ground in tears.)

LISA: Oh, no, I should’ve listened to you, Lily.

NARRATOR: With both best friends in tears on the ground and Mona disappeared – what had happened and why was Mona missing?
