Fade in on a girl...
Five year old Karen Cartwright looked out on the car window, her eyes widening in amazement. She was finally in New York City! The little girl had never left her hometown in Iowa before and the sheer size of the place would have been frightening to most children her age but Karen had always been uncommonly strong and the big city only endeared her. The family spent the next three days wandering around, getting lost, taking tour buses, site seeing, the usual tourist traps. Karen enjoyed herself immensely, loving the hustle and bustle of the seemingly endless place. They were walking through Times Square when she saw something that would change her life, a group of people on the street dressed in tattered clothing. There lips were moving and people were watching them. Were they begging for money? Karen was intrigued. She broke out of her mother's grasp and darted through the crowd.
"Karen! Karen, get back here." her mother called, chasing after the child. But Karen wasn't listening. She had to figure out what those people were doing. It was more important then anything right now. As she drew nearer, she realized they were singing. Karen gazed on in astonishment. They were standing there, singing in the streets, as if it were entirely normal. She saw now that the men and women were dressed old fashioned, like they were she saw when she was at the museum with her class. She couldn't really hear what they were saying only catching snippets but it didn't matter, Karen was mesmerized. And then she noticed that they weren't all grown ups like her parents. There was a little girl standing there too, near the front, just a few years older than her. She had little blonde ringlets and was carrying a broom. She smiled big and sung along, her eyes twinkling. She looked like she was having a lot of fun! Karen suddenly wished that she could be up there too.
When Karen's mother caught up with her, she reprimanded the little girl severely but it was too late. Karen had already been bitten by the bug.
If you can tell me what show she was watching, I will let you choose the subject matter (no smut) and character for one of the lines. Thanks for reading.
