[script] Environment Scene - Loulou + Cecilia

[elydesia]

So this is the scene my friend Adrienne and I wrote for our acting class some many years ago.
Writing it here mostly because I can't keep it in paper format anymore, and want to keep it digitally.


Environment Scene - Loulou + Cecilia
Where - Auditorium

Loulou is hiding in the rafters. Cecilia is waiting to work on a drama project with a partner.

Loulou: Hey! Hey! What's up?
Cecilia turns around expecting her partner.
Cecilia: Not much. What's up with... you? (to self) Ha! Must be muttering to myself about people yelling in the hallways.
*giggling from Loulou*
Loulou: I'm up, silly! Look up!
Loulou drops shoe/teddy/something significant from rafters.
Cecilia: Jimmy? Hey, this isn't funny! Where are you?
Loulou: You can't see me!
Cecilia: Who's there? ... (waits a moment, silence) Hello?
Loulou jumps out from behind curtains.
L: Boo!
Cecilia actually jumps.
L: (hugging Cecilia) I missed you so much, Cece!
Cecilia looks very confused.
C: ...you are?
L: Loulou Snicklefoot. Six and a half, and your--
C: --best of all best friends. Loulou, oh my god, I haven't seen you since I was--
L: Six and a half, just like me!
C: Wow... where have you been?
L: Well, you see, I have this new best friend, Kiki, who is really nice. Way cooler than Christine, but Christine's mommy let her wear makeup but Kiki has an easy bake oven, which makes so many yummy cakes and pie, and I wonder if I could cook chicken sticks in there, but they had sushi for dinner at Kiki's and there...
C: Whoa, slow down. This isn't possible. You were my best friend. I invented you!
L: Yeah, well, you wouldn't introduce me to your other friends when you were playing with markers that one time, and I got really mad at you and left.
C: I couldn't have introduced you to my real friends, you were my...
L: ...best friend, coolest friend, and you didn't want to introduce me to them because you were scared they would like me too much and want me to be their best friend instead.
C: ... I was going to say imaginary friend.
L: Is that like imagination?
C: Close enough.
L: Cool! I have a big one of those.
C: Sure... Listen Loulou, I kinda have some... big-kid stuff to do, so would you leave?
L: No! You have to come play with me! I found these boys at my school who save worms from the big kids stomping on them, and I want you to come play with us!
C: Loulou, I don't... play anymore.
L: But all kids play!
C: Yeah, but I'm not a kid anymore. I'm a teenager, as in mature, as in I have things to do so that I can go to a grade higher in school, get a job, stuff like - wait, do you even know what I'm talking about?
L: Kiki's dad says I'm really mature!
C: Sorry, you aren't really mature enough to do this stuff.
L: Am too!
C: And I'm too mature to play games, so would you please leave?
L: Hey, I'm mature, I'm just as mature as you, you can't say I'm not mature.
C: No, you aren't, you have no sense of what needs to be done, and right now your responsibility is to go away!
L: Don't start doing that, you always did that!
C: What?
L: You used long words to try to make me do stuff, but I'm not gonna!
C: What?
L: I am so as mature as you, and I might be more mature than you even, so that means you have to come play with me... or else!
Cecilia laughs.
L: Don't laugh at me, it's true!
C: Jesus, I'm just talking to myself, aren't I!
L: I hate you! I hate you, and I never wanna be your friend ever again!
Loulou hits her and disappears, leaving Cecilia confused.
