Time of Day: Dinnertime

Scene: The Dining Room

Situation: Brooke and True share a very special candlelight dinner. They exchange gifts.

True (giving Brooke a present): This gift is for you

Brooke(smiling): Thank you

True: You are welcome, mom. I hope you will like your gift.

Brooke (opening up the gift): I wonder what it is

True: I am not telling you. You will have to find out for yourself.

Brooke (holding up a locket): You gave me a locket

True(putting the locket around Brooke's neck): Let me get this

Brooke (opening the locket): OH My gosh, Ted. There is a picture of us inside of the locket

True(laughing): I know

Brooke(smiling): I love my gift

True (curious): So where are my gifts?

Brooke (giving True a gift bag full of goodies): These things are for you to enjoy

True(smiling): Thank you

Brooke: No problem,Ted, you deserve it

True(showing off her gifts): You gave me a box of chocolate candy and a teddy bear

Brooke: You are welcome

True: I love you

Brooke (embracing True): All is forgiven, everything is made new again

True: You always know how to talk me down from the edge, don't you? I'm coming home to breathe again, but I don't know how long my happiness will last.

Scene: After dinner-The beach

Situation: Brooke and True are walking on the beach boardwalk

True: How long is the beach boardwalk?

Brooke: The beach boardwalk is twelve miles long

True (exhausted): I don't think I can make it to the end. I wonder whenever will we reach the finish line?

Brooke: I thought you wanted to spend time with me

True: I do

Brooke: Please stay awake, okay?

True(yawning): I'll try

Brooke: At least you're not working at Clothes over Bros right now

True: You're right

Brooke: Walking is good for your heart and mind

True: I agree with you

(Brooke notices a very affectionate father, mother and daughter walking ahead of him. Emotional, Brooke longs for the love of both a mother and father)

True (studying Brooke): Your heart is broken

Broken(crying): I wished my parents loved me

True: I understand

Brooke (complaining): I am homesick

True (holding Brooke's hand): You will never be homeless. You will always have a family to go home to.

Brooke (looking around her surroundings): IS it reality or my imagination that I see paparazzi?

True (frightened): It is a reality

Brooke (shields True from the cameras): Just focus on me and no one else

Situation: Still at the beach- True and Brooke have built a bonfire

True (running her hands through her hair): OH, look at the pretty bonfire

Brooke (feels the wind blowing her hair): The bonfire symbolizes passionate love and desire

True: Life is not a fairytale. My dreams are up in flames.

Brooke: My life is a ticking time bomb

True: Who knows when you will blow up?

Brooke: What will become of me in the next life?

True: We all are ghosts lost in time. We start dying the moment we are born. IS it destiny or just a coincidence that we are born into the times we live in?

Brooke: I choose to follow my instincts. I don't know if I can say the same thing for you.

True: I choose destiny and fate

Brooke (touching True's cheek): You are not worthless. You are precious. You are never invisible to me.

True: The feeling is mutual

Brooke: You are young and strong. Eternity is on your side.

True: What if fate has other plans for me?

Brooke: Everything is a hot mess. You are the only one that can breakthrough into me.

True: I want to be cremated after I die

Brooke: Please don't commit suicide. You have so much to live for. I will honor your wishes though.

True: Thanks

Brooke: You won't leave this world empty-handed. Your legacy will always last forever.

True (gathering up sand): I am going to build a sandcastle

Brooke (gathering up sand): I will help you
