LIVING ROOM AT REGINA’ HOUSE - NIGHT

REGINA sitting upright on the couch in her pajamas. STACY laying beside her in her pajamas, legs crossing over REGINA’S knees. JADE laying on the carpet in front of the TV in her pajamas.

STACY

Sooooo, we don’t have class tomorrow.

JADE picks up the remote laying by her side and starts flipping through channels.

STACY

Should we do anything tomorrow? I mean there’s no school and none of us have to go to work until Saturday afternoon.

JADE keeps flipping through channels until she stops on a late News Report on a Fire downtown.

REGINA

Maybe but what?

STACY looks over at JADE, who’s watching the news report intently.

STACY

Hey, Jade, do you want to go anywhere tomorrow?

JADE looks over her shoulder at the two girls on the couch. She stays silent for second then speaks.

JADE

Shouldn’t fire trucks technically be called “Water Trucks”?

The girls stay quiet for a beat, then they all burst out in roaring laughter

My name is Brenda, I'm a graphic design major. I like to draw and animate. If I could make any type of media without restrictions, I would make a full length animated film. My current goals are to graduate and to improve my animation skills. I'm interested in making media because I'd like to make my own movies someday.
