hey people :D for the last drama lesson, we were supposed to do our 5 scenes for storyboarding and to get into groups of twos/threes to do the script for our story. i'll be typing out each script so you all can look at them and give comments and think about whether there is any other parts that can be improved or changed to make this play a better one :D so things will work out faster the next drama lesson!

Scene 1
Narrator: Once upon a time, there lived a rich family consisting of the parents and three daughters. The three daughters were named Sally, Peggy and Annabelle, with Sally being the oldest, Peggy being the second oldest and Annabelle being the youngest of them all.

Sally: Hi! I'm Sally and i am 16 years ....Annabelle! Come here you stupid idiot!

Annabelle enters scene.
Sally kicks and slaps Annabelle

Annabelle: Nono! Please stop it!

Sally: You stupid girl! You are always fighting for mummy and daddy's attention! Go and die!

Peggy: Hey people! Lower your volume. i'm sleeping!?

Annabelle: Jie Jie Peggy! Help me!

Scene 2
Narrator: Almost everyday, Sally will bully Annabelle and very often, Peggy will also join in the bullying as both of them were jealous of Annabelle getting their parents' atttention very often.

Sally: Annabelle! You better bring me a bowl of maggi mee in 5 minutes, if not i call police come and catch you! Hurry up!

Annabelle: But i very tired leh jiejie, can later?

Sally: WHAT YOU SAY?!?! i ask you to cook then you cook. Talk so much for what?!

Annabelle: Huh ... dont want la ..

Peggy slaps Annabelle

Peggy: Aiyo Annabelle ah, jiejie ask you cook then you just cook it la!

Annabelle cries

ps. personally, i feel that the script of this scene has to be changed cos its too dramatic. Being a young child as Annabelle, it will not be simple for her to go and cook maggi mee for her sister. i think it will be more realistic if it was just hitting Annabelle and snatching all her toys and slapping her and bullying her. this scene de script may need to change, tasha yixian and yeeteng(:

Scene 3
Father reaches home.

Father: Hey! What's going on?

Father puts down bag angrily.
-SILENCE-

Father: I asked what's going on! Sally open your mouth and answer me!

Sally: Daddy, i didn't do anything wrong!

Father stares at her

Sally: Alright alright. I only hit Annabelle's head. I believe there is nothing wrong with that right ? Annabelle always gets everything she wants, what about me?

Father has disappointed look on his face

Father: How can you possibly do that to her?

Sally: Why not?

Peggy holds Sally's hands and holds her back.

Peggy: Dont ...

Sally shook away Peggy's hands

Mother enters room, singing.

Mother: Annabelle, my lovely Annabelle! Come over and try on this lovely dress!

Sally points fingers at mother

Sally: See ... ? Argh, forget it. Forget it all.

Sally walks into her room and slams door

Annabelle: Mummy ...

Annabelle cries.

Mother: Oh darling, what's happening?

Mother wipes away Annabelle's tears

Mother: Come on, dont mind your sisters. They are probably just in a bad mood, come and try on this lovely dress, okay?

Annabelle: Hais ..

Annabelle walks into room, followed by Peggy walking into her room also.

Scene 4
Narrator: Every single day, Sally and Peggy will see their parents give Annabelle lots of new presents, new clothings, new toys and unconditional love. As the time passed day by day, their hatred for Annabelle also deepened further and further.

Father and Mother enters the scene
Father: Oh darling, i think that it is time to bring Annabelle away for a while so that Sally and Peggy will be able to settle down and concentrate on their exams.

Mother: Alright, i think it will be better for Annabelle too.

Father: Yes. I'll arrange for her to go over to Aunt Stella's house to stay for a few weeks and let's better follow her, just in case ...

Mother: Say no more, darling.

Mother breaks down, thinking of the thought that Annabelle may become blind any moment now.

Narrator: After one month, Peggy and Sally have finally finished their major examinations, PSLE and O levels respectively.

Sally and Peggy enters the scene.
Father, Mother and Annabelle in house.
Annabelle in glasses and walking stick in her hand.

Sally: Daddy Mummy! You are finally home!

Peggy: Daddy Mummy we missed you. But .. what happened to Annabelle? Why is she in sunglasses?

Sally: Oh peggy! Its more important that mummy and daddy are back home now. You dont have to worry about Annabelle! I believe it is nothing serious. She may just be trying to gain some sympathy and attention from daddy and mummy again!

Sally stares at Annabelle

Father: Can you please have some conscience? Annabelle is your sister! Have you all ever treated her like your younger sister? Or just someone that you all know, to bully? She has now lost her vision and is now blind, yet Sally, you are here trying to be sarcastic!

Peggy: Huh? What did you say daddy? But ... how come we never knew? How come she suddenly just became blind .. ?

Annabelle started crying when she was sitting on the sofa, listening to their conversation.

Mother: It was because you and Sally were preparing for your major examinations, and we didn't want you and Sally to worry about Annabelle!

Peggy was speechless.
Sally started to cry.

Sally: So my youngest sister .. the one that i used to bully and hate so much .. was actually pampered with so much love by you and mummy because you all knew that she was going to become blind ... ?

Father nods head.
Peggy hugs Annabelle tightly.

Peggy: I'm sorry, Annabelle.

Sally: I'm sorry too. For everything i've done. I've not been a good elder sister .. Sorry Annabelle.

Annabelle smiles and wipes away her tears
Annabelle: It's okay. At least now i know i have my beloved sister and loving parents with me!

Scene 5
Narrator: After knowing about Annabelle's illness, they lived in harmony and joy. Annabelle forgave her sisters for whatever they've done and they were one big happy family.
