Script thing


There's not much speech but I didn't know how else to do it! I apologise in advance.

(On a street in the city. There is a tall business building with benches and small bushes outside. In one of these bushes is Poppy Stalker in the process of falling out of the plant. During the summer on a nice hot day. No one around apart from her dad who was walking past the tree she was hiding in. He is wearing a dark suit with briefcase in one hand and a coffee in the other. Poppy is wearing the usual: a frilly white blouse and light blue knee length skirt and a blue cap shoved down as far as possible.)

Father: Poppy? Were you following me? Why?
Voice over: Well , let's back track a week or two...

(At Poppy's school in the playground. Kids milling around talking, joking etc. Poppy is hiding in a bush watching the conversation between two girls.)

Evil Girl 1: So I was like "Let's have some vodka" and then we drunk some vodka! It was hilar!
Evil Girl 2: OMG that is so fetch! haha!

(Focus on Poppy making evils at the two girls and twitches slightly. Of course, due to experience, no one notices. The bell rings for class but Poppy waits untill the playground is empty before making her way to class.)
(Scene moves to a classroom with Poppy sat at a corner in the back with the same two girls in front one row. Formula and numbers decorate the walls while the teacher has just finished going through an example on the board.)

Teacher: Ok, everyone, turn to page 394 and complete the exercises on using Pi.
Focus on the two "Evil" girls with Poppy being seen in the background.
Evil Girl 1: OMG I hate maths. Why is it called Pi anyway? It just makes me hungry.
Evil Girl 2: I know right! But we can't eat pie cos we have to stay fit for our boyfriends.
Evil Girl 1: Totes!

(Focus to Poppy who has already finished the class work. She starts to doodle in the margins pressing hard with her pen so the words "Popular" and "die" stand out.)
(Scenes moves to Poppy walking home on her own from School. Two boys are far in front but close enough for Poppy to just hear the conversation. The street is nearing the edge of the city. It is full of tall apartments and odd shops dotted about.)

Harry: So if you had to choose one ability between flying and reading minds, which would it be?
Peeta: Reading minds definately! Knowing everyone's secrets, think of all the blackmailing possibilities!

(Poppy chuckles to herself but quickly stops, puts her hand over her mouth, eyes wide and scurries into a nearby alleyway sneaking a look at the boys to see if they noticed. They didn't but she notices a shop on her right selling all sorts of weapons. A sign on the door says "18" but she enters anyway.
Inside there are rows and rows of different weapons lining the walls and displays full of a range of ammo. Poppy hides behind a display near the door. The shop keeper is talking to a man at the far side of the small shop.)

Shopkeeper: So Bill, I see you eyeing the rocket launcher?
Bill: Aye, how much?
Shopkeeper: Including ammo, about 300000, but i'm guessing you're not the type to have that much, how about the little revolver over here? (points to smallest gun in the shop) only 100! (sees Bills glare) but if you insist, I guess the rocket launcher is a good choice. It has a shoulder rest for comfortable aiming, which is adjustable so your little boy could have a go! ha-(sees another glare)- maybe not. There's also an eye hole with extra zoom for the more secret aiming and the camoflauge colour is also handy. So that'll be 290000.
Bill: Aye

(Poppy is moving closer to get a better look at the rocket launcher. In doing so she accidently knocks a small dagger from a display. She quickly slips out of the shop before anyone notices.)
(Walking the rest of the way home with a sly smile on her face but glancing quickly in every direction Gets to her house. Brothers and dad are in the back garden playing football and having a barbeque. She passes unoticed and makes her way into her house hurrying up the stairs to her bedroom. When she gets there she locks the door and turns off the lights. The bedroom is rather small for such a big house, plain with just a desk wardrobe and bed. No toys can be seen.
Poppy pulls out a tin box from under her bed. Inside is a ticket to a circus and a pair of night vision goggles which she quickly puts on. She also pulls out rolls of paper and takes out her pens from her bag. She is seen writing plans for including the two evil girls and a rocket launcher. A money sign is circled with a large ? at the side.)
(Father tries to get in. Poppy pushes everything under her bed turns on lights and unlocks the door.)

Father: Why is this door locked? What on earth are you doing in herewith those things on your face? (takes off goggles) I'm fed up with this childish behaviour Poppy, I got you these so you can join in with night time paintballing with your brothers none of this malarkey! (sighs) anyway, when you've had enough of messing about you can come outside and join in with the celebrations. I got the biggest offer in weeks today at work, 1 million worth!

(Father leaves while Poppy is left smiling at the spot he'd just been in. Scribbles out the ? and writes "dad company robbery".) 
1 week later....
(Poppy picks up her backpack containing black gloves mask and jumper and night vision goggles. Also picks up the copy she made of fathers work keys.)
(Follows father all the way to work. Hides in a bush as he makes is way to the entrance. Suddenly Her bag gets caught on a branch, she moves to untangle it but instead falls out of the bush right where her father is stood. )
