The Bright Side

ALL OF WINTER PASSED. THE DAYS WERE AGAIN GROWING LONG AND WARM.
(Emily and Dee are listening to her ipod with one earbud each. Dee has his hood down.)
Dee:Gee, I like this sun on the face thing.
Emily: Hehe, yeah. Hey look, I’ve got nearly 30 songs on my ipod about dying. And two about girls called Emily.
Dee: I bet the ones about me are depressing.
Emily: Well, some are upbeat, in a depressing way... But the ones about Emily aren’t happy either, if that’s any consolation.
Carmine: Emily! Are you gonna get ready?
Emily: Oh! Yes, I forgot!
Dee: What’s happening?
Emily: It’s Halloween. I need to get some kind of costume ready because my cousins want me to go trick-or-treating with them.
Dee: What’s Halloween?
Carmine: Come ON! We’re all ready!
Emily: I know, I’m sorry... Haven’t even thought of a costume yet!
Maddy: Emily! What have you been doing?
Listening to my ipod – hey, I could go as an evil stepsister, I wouldn’t even have to dress up!
Maddy: Just stop being evil and get ready!
