INT. OLD ABANDONED HOUSE CAMPBELLTON
Black with writing on it.
WRITING
How come no one ever thinks about
the moon rise? Is it not
significant enough?
MINAMI KYUKIs body is lying unconcious on the ground of the
abandoned house, the body of the dead boy near her side. The
twins, NATALIE and VENNESA DOUMONT, cower next to MARK
STAGGER, fear in their eyes.
MARK
C'mon DEREK, it’s been hours. Let
us go, we won’t tell.
KAYLA nods. DEREK ignores them. NATALIE points to MINAMI’s
body.
NATALIE
Is she… dead?
KAYLA
No, just unconscious. DEREK fired a
shot but missed her. So, in anger,
he hit her in the head instead….
but…. he is….
She points to the dead body of the young boy. The twins
gasp. Out of fear they shut them self’s up from the world.
CU of MINAMI.
KAYLA
(Narrative)MINAMI!
Shot of the twins.
KAYLA
(Narrative)The twins too!
A back shot of KAYLA as she looks at DEREK, who is is pacing
the room, unsure of what to do. KAYLA begins to cry silent
Tears.
KAYLA
(Narrative)No…. This can’t be
happening. Not now. Too fast….
It’s all happening too fast. I
couldn’t… couldn’t…
CU of KAYALAs eyes, as tears poor down her smooth face.
KAYLA
I can’t move. I can’t… can’t go
to my friend to help her! My best
friend…

FLASH BACK.
EXT. SUGUARMONT HIGH STEPS CAMPBELLTON
MINAMI, KAYLA and the twins are sitting on the steps out
side their school during lunch hour. The sun shining
brightly upon the horizon.
MINAMI
Hey guys?
NATALIE
Huh?
MINAMI
How come everyone always says
"sunrise" and “sunset” and nobody
ever thinks about the moonrise?
VENESSA
What are you talking about?
KAYLA
MINAMI’s being weird again.
NATALIE
But the sun is still out, why
mention the moon?
MINAMI turns to face her friends.
MINAMI
My dad always used to tell me that
the moon rises to give people light
at night when they are lonely.
NATALIE looks at MINAMI and then to the sky. KAYLA looks as
though she is suppressing a giggle.
MINAMI
My family is there, to raise the
moon. Just for me. They always know
how to make me happy.
KAYLA, letting out a bit of laughter.
KAYLA
OK, where does this come from?
VENESSA
I think its deep and kind of sad.
NATALIE looks back at MINAMI.
NATALIE
Hey, you’ll always have us!
VENESSA
Hey c'mon, we got a little bit of
time before the bell rings for next
class, let’s go race to the
baseball field!
NATALIE AND MINAMI
Yeah!
KAYLA
Sure!
The three friends get up and begin to run towards the field.

(Narrative) You were always there
for me.

needed me?
EXT. SUGUARMONT HIGH CAMPBELLTON
KAYLA suddenly stops, her hand clutching to her chest in
pain.
KAYLA
Ahhk… Aack… gu gu…
MINAMI, a big smile on her face, notices something is wrong
and turns around, her smile fading. The twins hear the
sudden change of movement and turn around.
NATALIE
KAYLA?
MINAMI
KAYLA!
KAYLA is on her knees, gasping for air.
KAYLA
Haaaa… Gaa…. *gasp*
VENESSA
She’s having an asthma attack!
She turns around frantically, looking for help.
VENESSA
Someone help her!
NATALIE
What do we do?
MINAMI rushes towards her friend. She begins to frantically
dig in KAYLA’s backpack. She takes out an inhaler.
MINAMI
Got it!
She turns to the twins.
MINAMI
Call 911 or a teacher or something!
She turns her gaze towards the gasping KAYLA.
MINAMI
Here.
She gives KAYLA the inhaler. KAYLA begins to calm down. She
begins to fall in MINAMI’s arms. Teachers can be heard in
the distance, yelling for space. Shot of KAYLA and MINAMI.
