Fire! Flames!!

( Starring Trailyn /Weis-Lee )


Monica & Kyle's house.

[ Trailyn, Mairya, & Jenni are
sitting in the living room. ]

"This is amazing!"

[ Jenni calls from the hall after
eyeing Trailyn's shiny, but subtle
orange performance dress.

She joins them on the sofa. ]

TRAILYN: You don't think it's
too much? 
JENNI: Not at all. It's perfect.
TRAILYN: If this goes well
it could turn into a regular
thing for me there.
JENNI: That's exciting.

TRAILYN: So who all did you
invite?
MAIRYA: I'll be bringing Micaa,
H and Dean.

[ They both look at Jenni. ]

JENNI: Chais and Billy left this
morning on some mission out
of state.  I think they are staying
over night. 
But I should probably warn you
H may have invited Jai which
means my nonsense sis
will be tagging along.
MAIRYA: Oh great.  I'll be sure
to thank him for his lack of
common sense.

[ She looks over at her best friend. ]

MAIRYA: If you want me to bounce
her ass out of there, just give me
the word.
TRAILYN: No thanks.  I don't 
need the drama.  Anyway my
music is open to all.  Especially
cheating, lying snakes.

[ Trailyn holds out her phone,
scrolling through her lyrics. ]


TA, Back conference room.

[ Hiring manager Weis is sitting
down organizing resumes before
the event starts.

Checking his phone for the time,
he waits for his GM to show up. ]

[ A few minutes later, there's a knock

& the door opens.]

WEIS: Whoa, what are you doing
here?

[ Joh enters in similar dress with
a button up white shirt, pants
& a tie. ]

JOH: Last night, I was sitting in
my room catching up on my
favorite series when Mark 
emails me out of nowhere
saying they got last minute
tickets and are leaving in the
morning.

Conveniently I was already
scheduled.

[ He smiles, sitting down. ]

WEIS: Last minute my ass.  They
did that shit on purpose.
JOH: Yeah, I know.  That's why we
are going to stretch this double
time out as long as possible and
make the best out of our day.

And I know the sweetest way to 
start.

WEIS: You brought some?
JOH: Already rolled buddy.

WEIS: Let's go.  We have
to be back seated in fifteen
minutes.

[ They race to the employee lot
where Joh's car is parked.

Ten minutes later, they are freshly
sprayed & back inside sitting
in the open conference room. ]

WEIS: You were right.  It's way
too busy out there to do this
in the lobby area.

So who is going to be
outside doing check-ins?

[ Airynn peaks in from around
the corner. ]

AIRYNN: Morning losers.

JOH: Hey. Right on time.
WEIS: Yeah. Let's try to leave
my virginity story out of the
intros this time.*

[ Airynn laughs from the hall. ]


Highway passed Mirror city.

[ Billy is driving while Chais
is sitting, anxiously in the 
passenger seat. ]

"We need to hurry."

BILLY: Your parents won't be
back until tomorrow some
time.
Chill the hell out.

CHAIS: I know. But i want a
chance to circle these edibles
around before the weekend.
See if they actually sell.
BILLY: It's cool. We can bake
or whatever we need to do
all night.

CHAIS: And we'll have to store
everything downstairs.
BILLY: Did you make the list?
CHAIS: Yeah. It's on my phone.

BILLY: Honestly.  I'm surprised
you're making changes at all.
Things were going pretty well
so far.
CHAIS: It wasn't my choice.

BILLY: I see.  Well that's not
going to last long.
CHAIS: What is that suppose
to mean?

BILLY: Nothing.

[ He turns up the music.

Hours later, they pull into a
parking spot. ]

CHAIS: We good?
BILLY: Yeah, my cousin's inside.

I'll be waiting out here.

[ Chais leaves him & enters
the store. ]


Later that night.

[ Trailyn is sitting down back-
stage going over things with
her band.

Meanwhile; Mairya, Micaa,
Little H, Dean, & Jenni are
sitting at a table in front 
of the stage. ]

JENNI: This is nice.  I'm glad we
all could be here to support
her.
MAIRYA: Yeah it was.  Until
someone decided to invite
an enemy along.

LITTLE H: Really? It was an
innocent mistake.  They just
fell asleep together from
what I heard.

[ Mairya rolls her eyes at him. ]

JENNI: And Tray is over it.  It's
not her focus anymore.  So why
are  you still making it yours?

[ Mairya goes to speak but is
interrupted by the DJ calling
everyone to attention on the
mic.

After getting the crowd quiet,
he introduces Trailyn and she
walks out.  Taking her place
on a stool in the center. ]

[ She looks up in time to see
her ex Jai and Kaori walk in
& take a seat at a side table.

Unfazed, the music begins &
she starts to sing.  Staring
right at them. ]


Earlier that day, TA.

[ After hours of interviewing
& multiple decision made.

Weis & Joh are down to the
last three candidates going
for a produce position.

Zoie, Tomas, & Jadyn.  ]

"I think Jadyn is the best
qualified."

[ Weis breaks the silence. ]

JOH: Yeah you would.
WEIS: What? He had the most
relevant experience and he
was the most engaging.

JOH: He engaged in some-
thing alright.  Staring down
every inch of you.  He cleary
wanted some.
WEIS: Oh please.  I haven't
been physical with anyone since
I started dating Stuu.  Almost two 
years I honestly don't even 
think about that part of me 
now.
JOH: If you say so dude.  I mean,
it's not like you haven't been
busy taking care of Mila
and everything.

WEIS: Exactly.  I'm gonna go
piss and then we can tell
him and get out of here.

[ Weis walks in the bathroom
not noticing that Jadyn has
followed him and entered also.

Jadyn takes a stand right next
to him. He sits back some. Unzips
his pants & slowly begins to
urinate looking over at Weis.

Weis is stone locked, keeping
his glance forward. ]

JADYN: Go ahead.  Look.


On Stage, 'All Ages'.

"Started as a simple
Conversation.

She was just another
Friendly face and--

[ Trailyn glances at Jai who
is now stalled from siping
his water glass.

The music gets intense &
the backup singers come
in. ]

"Wait let me take a sec

(To gather all the lies up)"

[ Dean is smirking at the
table while everyone else
but Mairya looks uncomfor-
table. 

Trailyn continues to expose
him, moving around the stage
as she hold out her notes. ]

"We were just sleeping.

It was just a kiss."

"But i know exactly how
she used her lips."

[ The song ends & she's pointing
through the stage crowd in Kaori's
direction.

Kaori sips at her drink.  Not ashamed,
she stands for verification.  Starting
the applause while Jai shrinks down
in his seat. ]

" Justice ( Last 7 ) "


SCENE 1

‘Excuse me.
You’re
doing what?’

ACE: It was his
money Mark. I
don’t really have
a choice.
MARK: Oh, you
had a choice. And
after everything
I’ve done. Going
behind my back?

SKI: Maybe you
should discuss this
in private.

[ Mark looks up and
everyone pretends
to be talking. ]

MARK: It’s fine.
You guys enjoy
the party.

I’ve had enough.

[ After he leaves. ]

SKI: Sorry about
that. Mark should
never drink.
ACE: I know
but he’s right.
I’ll just have to
find someone
else.

[ He sits down
by Hithe. ]

HITHE: Listen, I’ve
been on Mark’s
bad side before.
I can fix this.


SCENE 2

‘This is Kory,
DeAndre, and
Trae.’

MARISA: Hello boys.

[ Trae steps up. ]

TRAE: Hey sexy.

[ She waves
nerviously. ]

MARKIS: Well, I
have work to
get done.

[ He smirks and
walks downstairs. ]

MARISA: Alright,
listen up. It’s already
12 so we better
get moving. Is
everyone ready?
TRAE: Girl chill
out. We got this.
You just work
on convincing
your boy to
show.
MARISA: Oh,
he’ll show.

That asshole
will never see
this coming.


SCENE 3

[ Ski bolts out
the back door
passing by Weis
and Stuu. ]

WEIS: How’s the
party going?

[ Ski turns around. ]

SKI: Not well.
Have you seen
Mark?
WEIS: Yup, in his
office.
SKI: Thanks.

[ When he leaves. ]

STUU: So, why are
you hiding that we
made up from Joh?
WEIS: I just assumed
you didn’t want
him to know.
STUU: That we ran
into each other on
the bus and walked
around town?
Some big secret.

[ Weis looks puzzled. ]

WEIS: Yeah, that.
STUU: Well, I should
give Joh a break.
See ya.

[ Stuu walks away
shaking his head. ]


SCENE 4

‘Hey loser!’

[ Airynn wakes up
laying on the
couch with a
pillow in his face. ]

AIRYNN: Billy!
I’m gonna beat
your ass.
BILLY: Do it then.

[ He laughs and
sits down. ]

BILLY: Only
lames stay
home alone
on a Saturday
night. Where’s
your homies?

[ Airynn ignores
him. ]

BILLY: Oh wait.
That’s right.
Everyone’s
dumped you.

[ Airynn’s cell
starts to ring. ]

‘Marisa. . .hey.
No, I’m not
busy now.

You wanna
see me? Sure.
On my way.’

AIRYNN: Later
chump.

[ He grabs the
pillow throwing
it at his brother. ]


SCENE 5

[ In Mark’s office. ]

MARK: So, I took
a look at your
upgrades.
HITHE: How did
you get
MARK: Inside?
You forget this
is my store.
Should I ask
how on earth
you can afford
all that?
HITHE: I’ve been
saving. . .for a while.

Anyway, you
should cut Ace
some slack.
He doing the best
he can. It’s more
my fault I guess.
MARK: I’m glad
you’ve realized.
Are you trying
to get fired
again?
HITHE: No. There’s
a reason I’m the
only one in here
braving your
current state.
MARK: What,
enlighten me.

HITHE: Why don’t
I just work in both
places?
I mean, you have
lots of people who
could step up.
I’ll even train them.


SCENE 6

[ Outside at a local
park. ]

MARISA: Ok he
should be over
here any minute.
You know what
to do.
I’ll be in the car.

[ Trae, DeAndre, and
Kory are waiting in
the dark. Suddenly
they hear footsteps
getting closer. ]

‘Marisa?’

[ Airynn sits down
on the park bench.
Getting out his cell
he doesn’t notice
Trae coming up
behind him. ]

‘Hey!’

[ He turns around
and backs up. ]

AIRYNN: Who the
hell are you?
TRAE: A messenger.

[ The bench is flipped
over and Airynn is
staring at a mask.
He tries to get up,
but he’s kicked in
the face. As the other
two hold him down,
he starts to panic. ]

[ They stand him
to face Trae, but
before he can hit
him Airynn falls to
the ground holding
onto his chest. ]

‘This wasn’t part
of the plan.
Let’s go.’

[ Airynn is left
there shaking
on the ground. ]


SCENE 7

[ At the party. ]

AMBER: Well, you
look vibrant and
alive. Even at
almost three in
the morning.
JESZYCA: Thanks,
and congratulation
on your promotion.

[ Amber motions for
Ski to come over. ]

AMBER: So Ace is
about to cut the
ribbon do you think
Mark will show?

[ Ski shrugs. ]

ACE: It’s been a
very long night.
Let’s not prolong
this any longer.

[ He half smiles
and leans down
to cut the ribbon.
Everyone starts to
clap and he walks
away. ]

MARK: Ace.

[ He hands him
a glass of wine. ]

‘What’s this?’

MARK: A peace
offering.
Maybe I was
looking at this
in the wrong way.
ACE: Yeah, and
I should’ve asked
you first.

MARK: Oh well,
let’s toast.

To the better
business!

[ They hit glasses
and Mark smirks. ]
