Int.Resturaunt
Marty the new husband sits at the table. He waits for his new wife and new step daughter. His son Liam could'nt come.
He sees them finale walk in. he see Julia, followed by a brunette that he has seen in pictures around the house.
Julia:Marty. Were here finale.
(she leans and kisses him softly on the lips.)
Marty stands ready to meet his step daughter for the first time.
(nervous)
Juliette:Hello.
Marty:Juliette. You look like your mother. Very beautiful.
(shy under his gaze)
Juliette:Thank you.
They all take their seats prepared to order.
Juliette:What do I call you?
Marty:Um.......Dad,Marty. Whatever your comfortable with. Juliette your my step daughter and I want you to be comfortable.
Juliette thinks a few moments. Why couldn't her mother's other husbands had been like Marty. Nice. Incrediable nice.
Juliette:I'll call you Marty. MAybe dad one day.
Julia:Juliette!!!!!
marty:Julia I asked her what she was comfortable and if it is my first name so be it. Okay.
Julia:I suppose so.
Juliette:So mother about that surprize.
(eyes Marty)
Julia:You'll find out soon enough.
A day later:
Juliette and the rest of her family was just arriving home and getting settled. She still hadn't found out what the big surprize was but hoped she would find out soon. Very soon.She kept walking by the bedroom across from hers because no one ever stayed in that room. She heard rock music coming from it. She pushed the door open.
Juliette:Whoa!!!!!! Who are you?
The stranger gave her a look and went back to reading. Juliette stood there. She wasn't going away. This annoying chick was his step sister who looked like a big brat.
(he stood)
Liam:Hi I'm Liam. Your step brother.
Juliette:Your Marty's son.
Liam:Right. And you must be Juliette.
Juliette:Are you going to be living here all summer.
Liam:Yup and when fall comes its back to Chicago i go. Seriously you place is cool.
Juliette: Your the suprize aren't you?
Liam:I guess if you could call me that.
Juliette:This is not happpening. My life.
She ran back into her bed room shutting the door. She lay on her bed. She saw Kristy Kay's glass eyes.
Juliette:Oh Kristy Kay. Home is where I wanted to be here and now its a big mess. I could handle Marty but not a brother. I wanted to be the only one.
She heard a voice inside her head. A soft one. It sounded like Kristy Kay's. Her doll's voice was speaking to her.
kristy Kay:Juliette you know what you have to do. You know you have to realease the pain.
(whispers)
Juliette:Kristy Kay I can't. Auggie says I'm beautiful and I'm just going to turn ugly inside if I do that.
Kristy Kay: Juliette Auggie isn't here. He won't know. Forget Auggie. What does he know about your problems.
(shouts at Kristy Kay and throws her on a pillow)
Juliette:No! I won't do it.I can't.
Juliette runs to a corner in her room. She can't lose control of her life. Not now. She wanted to be in control of every thing to make sure that it all went right.
