1) Lottie is preparing for school and a party while being encouraged by her imaginary friends Peppermint, Jareth, and Noah to focus on her fan fiction writing instead. 2) At school, Nat invites Lottie to her party that night, but Lottie's friends discourage her from going. 3) That night, Lottie argues with her friends about attending the party, causing them to disappear when she yells at them to stop. Distraught at being alone, Lottie has a breakdown.

1. FADE IN:
INT. TEEN BEDROOM. DAY.
LOTTIE CONCH is typing on her laptop on the bed. She’s half
dressed. Noticing the time, she puts the laptop on the bedside
table open. She’s tucking her t-shirt in, reaches for her
watch to reveal the DVD case.
PEPPERMINT ATHOS
“poor and out of character” Out of character?! Has he even
seen the pilot?
Peppermint clicks away the tab, revealing the lock screen
featuring Jareth. Jareth pushes down the laptop screen,
leaning on the table.
JARETH
You aren’t even in the pilot Pepper.
PEPPERMINT
Maybe so Jareth, but the pilot explicitly states that
Barbarians hate change and I am a Barbarian.
Lottie starts to brush her hair. Noah Porter leans next to the
vanity/mirror clutching a book. He smiles at Lottie.
NOAH PORTER
Next one’s about me, right?
LOTTIE
Obviously.
She taps his nose in affection.
PEPPERMINT
You haven’t even finished the fan fiction about me yet!
LOTTIE
And I will, after I’ve started the one about Noah. I did have
an idea…
She starts to apply mascara. Jareth leans on her shoulder and
smiles at them both in the mirror.
JARETH
Don’t do that.
There is a pause, Jareth continues to smile but it doesn’t
feel friendly anymore. Lottie stops smiling and puts the
mascara down without applying it. Jareth nods and moves on.
(CONT)

2. JARETH
You need to get to school.
Lottie moves for her bag, which Peppermint has already packed
for her.
LOTTIE
I need a book, any ideas?
The question is to the room, Noah steps forward.
NOAH
Have this one. It’s got me in it.
He winks at her, she rolls her eyes but takes it anyway. Her
phone rings, its ‘Nat’. She goes to pick up. Peppermint stops
her.
PEPPERMINT
Don’t do that.
Beat.
She’s probably calling the wrong number.
She smiles. Lottie nods and puts her phone away still ringing.
JARETH
Come on, we’ll be late.
Lottie turns to leave the bedroom, they others stay still as
she leaves. Their facial expressions are flat when her back is
turned.
CUT TO:
EXT. COLLEGE GREEN. DAY.
Lottie walks onto the green alone, she sees a large group of
people. NAT GREEN waves, Lottie smiles and goes to join them.
Noah stops her.
NOAH
Don’t do that. You have work to do.
The others are with her now, Lottie nods and sits alone.
JARETH
You’re really on top of your homework at the moment, I’m
really proud of you Lottie.
(CONT)

3. Lottie smiles, flustered. From the group Nat is unsure why
Lottie isn’t sitting with them.
NAT
One sec guys.
She gets up and walks over to Lottie. Lottie is shocked her
crush is even coming near her.
NAT
Hey, you okay?
LOTTIE
Yeah, yeah, just got work to do you know…
NAT
Yeah…Um, I’m having a party tonight and I get that its late
notice, but I never see you these days. I know they aren’t
really your scene, but I want you there…so…
While she’s talking the others begin to argue over the top of
her.
PEPPERMINT
Don’t do that, you know she’s only asking cause she feels
sorry for her.
NOAH
You don’t need her pity; you’ll only feel stupid anyway. Don’t
do that.
JARETH
Don’t do that, you have nothing good enough to wear, you’ll
end up feeling fat the whole night.
Lottie smiles wide, it’s like for the first time she can only
hear Nat.
LOTTIE
Yes! Yes, I’d love to go.
NAT
Cool, cool, I’ll see you there.
Nat walks away, looking back twice, grinning. The others look
shocked but all smile at Lottie when she looks at them.
FADE TO:
INT. TEEN BEDROOM. NIGHT
Lottie is checking out her dress using her phone camera.
Pepper stands next to her, arms crossed. Jareth is sitting on
the bed, and Noah is leaning in the background. There is a
weird silence.
(CONT)

4. LOTTIE
What do you think?
PEPPERMINT
You’re making a mistake.
JARETH
You look lovely.
Lottie smile.
Peppermint is right though.
LOTTIE
Noah?
Noah looks at Jareth, who glares. Noah shakes his head.
I want to go…can I go to one party.
Jareth gets up and walks towards her.
JARETH
Of course, not this one.
Lottie pushes him off. Walks to her makeup and starts
applying.
Don’t do that.
Lottie ignores him. Noah approaches.
NOAH
Come on, I thought you were writing me fanfiction tonight. Do
you wanna disappoint your followers?
PEPPERMINT
Yeah, if you miss tonight you won’t have posted in three days.
LOTTIE
(quietly) Shut up.
The others freeze, faces drop for a moment then back to
normal.
JARETH
You don’t mean that.
LOTTIE
I do. Shut up, for one night shut up.
They all move towards her. She gets up and meets Jareth in the
middle. (CONT)

5. Please. Please give me one night.
Beat.
JARETH
Don’t do this.
The room explodes they are all yelling over each other, not in
synch.
PEPPERMINT, NOAH, JARETH
Don’t do that.
They repeat this.
LOTTIE
Stop it! Stop it! Stop, stop it!
She backs up, they back in. She covers her ears and closes her
eyes.
Don’t do that!
The sound cuts out. She uncovers her ears but keeps her eyes
closed for a beat. When she opens them, she is alone. It takes
a second to sink in.
No, no, no. Please I’m sorry I didn’t mean it, come back
please. I’m sorry. I need you, don’t leave me alone, I can’t
do this without you. Noah! Pepper!
She is moving round the room franticly, looking for them under
things, as if they are hiding on one of the draws. She stops
and looks around the empty room.
(her voice cracks) Jareth.
She begins to trash her room, pulling posters off the walls,
pushing things on the floor. She’s screaming and crying.
Eventually she sinks to the floor, head in her knees. Her
phone rings, its Nat.

BLACK
