46. - Stardust Veils - Leslie

• FADE IN:


• EXT. FENCED-IN BACK YARD - NIGHT


• SIENNA lies on her back watching clouds drift past stars. She watches the stars slowly shift across the sky.


• RACHEL lies next to her, her bare feet sinking into the soft grass, as she drums the idly into the ground, watching fireflies hover, joining the stars for a brief moment, before their frantic movements end their attempts at space travel.


• Their large travel backpacks lie beside them.


• They are both dressed in t-shirts and cargo pants, tired and dirty from travel.


• Sienna watches the house for any trouble if the owners catch them.


• Rachel blinks sleepily, drifting in and out of conscious thought.


• She forces her eyes open, and slowly waves her hands in and around the clusters of fireflies.


• RACHEL
• Look Si, my own personal stars.


• SIENNA
• That's pretty neat...a galaxy just for you.


• Fireflies move around Rachel's face, leaving soft trails of light.


• RACHEL
• ...a veil for me...my own sparkly veil.


• Her head tips back and her lips slightly part as she sinks into deeper sleep.


• Sienna rolls to her side and watches Rachel sleep.


• She pulls Rachel's hair back, and gently combs it with her fingers.


• SIENNA
• Goodnight baby sis. Dream of a better place and your stardust veils.


• FADE TO BLACK.
