EXT. PARK. AFTERNOON.
14th May A GUY lives in a monochromatic world surrounded by loneliness and nothing but darkness. HE wastes his time sitting on a swing under a tree. Cold wind would eat him up as HE stares at nothing in particular. Everything looks lifeless. 15th May 16th May 17th May His life became one predictable monotonous routine. It wasnt the world HE wishes for, HE never wanted to be alone but HE thought HE was destined to be alone.
Then SHE came into his world, SHE, who is the exact opposite of him, bubbly and vibrant. Everything was in contrast, he was lifeless and she was the contrary.
To his surprise the girl approached him and simply smiled. He wasnt used to people approaching him and thought that the girl just pitied him. His expression turned sad from a confused one. He was lost for a moment and didnt realise that the girl was giving him something. When he snapped out of it, he looked at the girls hand and saw a candy. He was confused at her sudden action, but nevertheless he hesitantly took it. When he gulped he abruptly felt something inside him that he couldnt explain. He then looked at the girl who was intently looking on the ground, he followed her stares and was shocked to see that his shoes gained colour, from dull black to dark blue. His mind was clouded with questions of how, why and what was happening, he couldnt just believe what he saw. The guy once again glanced at the girl beside him and soon enough they were locked in each others eyes.
DAY 2 The next day the guy was still on the same spot, questions are still floating in his mind. How did his shoes turned into blue? Was it because of the candy? Who was the girl and what she is? Speaking of which, SHE came again with a smile plastered in her face. He wanted to ask her the questions that kept his mind busy but then he cant seem to find his words every time she looks at him. The girl took out something from her pocket it was the candy she gave him yesterday. She offered it to him and he was in doubt of taking it but there was something in him that couldnt say no to her. So he ate it and felt the same thing like just yesterday. He then saw his shorts turning to light shade of blue. He couldnt help himself but to smile even though he wasnt sure of the sudden events. Another day passed and he realised that he somehow felt a connection between him and the girl. When she came into his life he started to feel excited for another day to come. DAY 3 The third day of their meeting arrived, they did the same routine for the last 2 days but this time, he was a bit different, he had a small smile in his face. This time he gained the colour of his shirt, it was green but there were still a spot that was uncovered. Another day passed with new questions in his head however, as the days go by the smile on his face gets wider and brighter. DAY 4 Fourth day, she gave him another candy his skin started to have its colour. It was like magic, his world started to have colour since she came to his life but there were still some spot left untouched. DAY 5 So he waited for the next day hoping everything will be complete once he eats one of those candies again. The girl came once again, she reached to her pocket but she was stunned for a moment, she searched in her pocket but she came with nothing. The candy was gone. The guy frowned after realising his world would never be complete. The girl was in panicked mode not knowing what to
do. Her sudden action shocked the both of them, SHE kissed him and on cheek. Surprise was clearly written on their faces but the missing pieces were found. Her kiss made everything completely, SHE made him complete.

. 2. EXT. PARK. AFTERNOON 2
JEANNE walks towards her and sits beside her. She says hi to her but in response, the girl just looks at her and smiles. The camera then captures them at front and behind seeing the whole park. The girl stands up and plays around, JEANNE then plays with her like theyre back in their childhood. They run around, goes to the slide then to the swing. They play and play until they get tired. So they sit for a while, look at each other and smile. The girl then wave to say goodbye, JEANNE was about to say something to her but she stands up just before she talks. The girls wallet drops when she stands. JEANNE picks it up and when she put her head up shes already gone. She wanders around to look for her, but shes gone in a blink of an eye. JEANNE looks in her wallet, and look for her name and address. She saw the girls identification and she finds out that her name is PATRICIA. 3. EXT. SIDEWALK. MORNING 3
The next day, JEANNE walks to look for PATRICIAs place. 4. EXT. DOOR. MORNING JEANNE knocks at the door three times. JEANNE (V/O) I hope shes here. A girl opens the door and asks her who is she. JEANNE asks for the where about of PATRICIA not expecting for a strange reaction. The camera focuses on the girls face. Her eyes are open widely and the tears are about to fall. The screen will change into the scene where JEANNE and PATRICIA are playing in the park. JEANNE (V/O) You know why I really like Walking? Coz when you walk, you meet different people. And by 4
meeting them, you discover things that arent just seen by the eyes. Just like meeting PATRICIA, I never thought that I will be able to meet someone like her. At first, it was a shock for me but after a while, it feels really good having a friend that once existed for others but just met her in her second existence.
