FADE IN:

INT. A GIRLS BEDROOM – MORNING  

ROBYN wakes up and climbs out of bed whilst grumbling. She stumbles along her dark bedroom and goes to the bathroom and starts running the shower.

INT. HALLWAY – MORNING

Robyn puts on a black backpack over her black bomber jacket on top of a black hoodie accompanied with a black t-shirt, black ripped jeans and ties up the laces to her black walking boots. She exits the house.

EXT. TOWN STREET – MIDDAY

Robyn looks to the ground as she walks through the street passing various shops and cafes. She makes her way to the train station, but as she arrives, the train leaves the platform. She throws her head into her hands and sighs, looking up to the sky and brushing her hair behind her ear, looking around frustrated.

A girl DELILAH walks past her, and Robyn hears the music playing from Delilah’s earphones. Delilah is listening to WALKING ON SUNSHINE (KATRINA AND THE WAVES.) Delilah has blonde hair that is kept put of her face with a pair of sunglasses placed on the top of her head. She is wearing colourful bright clothing with a flowery backpack.

Delilah walks through the train station car park, and around the corner out of sight. Robyn follows suspiciously, keeping her distance but watching Delilah intensely as she makes her way through the town. Delilah turns a quick corner and is again out of sight. Robyn runs after her and as she turns the corner, she bumps into a boy MYLES, who is wearing blue jeans, a black t-shirt and a black hoodie.

MYLES

(Out of breath)

Sorry!

Robyn raises her hand in an apologetic wave and continues to run after Delilah, catching up with her again but keeping her distance. She watches Delilah walk up a hill, and follows her on the opposite side of the bridge, crossing the road whilst Delilah turns the corner onto a small road lined by houses on either side, passing by the local fish and chip shop. Robyn follows, turning the corner behind the chip shop to find that Delilah has disappeared. Robyn turns around suspiciously, scanning the road for Delilah, but she is nowhere to be found.  Robyn walks down the small road and looks to her left, where she see’s a flash of colour through the bushes. Robyn parts the bushes and begins to walk through them as the branches scrape across her face and body, and she sees yellow paint on a branch beside her. She looks confused, and sees a metal fence that has been prised open. She pokes her head through the gate, and watches Delilah walk into the building like she had been there before. Robyn smiles and follows her, walking towards the abandoned factory.

INT – ABANDONED FACTORY – MIDDAY

Robyn sees Delilah making her way up a flight of stairs to the first floor. The room is large and scarce. There is a singular brick wall that comes halfway into the middle of the room, leaving the entire room open. The perimeter of the room has windows, some are smashed and others are still intact but dirty. The walls are covered with colourful paint and graffiti.

                                                                           

Robyn follows her up the stairs, and hides behind the wall as she watches Delilah. Delilah stands in the middle of the room and places her backpack on floor. She stands back up and takes her earphones out of her ears, and unplugs them from her phone. She lays her phone on the floor, and WALKING ON SUNSHINE continues to play (non-diegetic.) She crouches down and opens her backpack to reveal red, yellow, blue, green and pink spray paint cans. She walks to a wall and begins to randomly spray paint in no particular order or pattern, just painting for the fun of it. Robyn looks around the room but keeps hidden as she admires the graffiti around the wall that Delilah had done previously. She looks back to where Delilah was stood, but she, along with her belongings, are gone. Robyn comes out from hiding and looks at the wall where Delilah had been spray painting a sun and miscellaneous clouds.

INT. ROBYN’S BEDROOM – NEXT MORNING

Robyn opens her eyes and smiles. She runs to the bathroom, has a shower, heads to the hallway and ties up her boots wearing the same outfit as the day before: a black backpack, a bomber jacket, a hoodie, a black t-shirt and ripped jeans.

EXT. TRAIN STATION – MIDDAY

Robyn waits at the station excitedly, tapping her toes and holding on to the straps of her backpack, looking around the station for Delilah. The train arrives, but Delilah is not seen leaving the train. Robyn sighs and slumps slightly, turning around and walking out of the station. She looks up and sees Delilah turning the same corner as before, and Robyn skips excitedly towards her, following her towards the factory once more.

INT. ABANDONED FACTORY – FIRST FLOOR – MIDDAY

Robyn watches from the side again as she sees Delilah take out her earphones, and YOU MAKE MY DREAMS (REMASTERED – DARYL HALL & JOHN OATES) plays (non diegetic.) This time, Delilah carries a bucket of bright pink paint. She holds the paint outwards and begins to spin as paint flies everywhere, and Robyn and Delilah laugh. As the bucket empties, Delilah puts her backpack back on and takes the bucket with her and leaves.

Robyn walks into the middle of the room where Delilah was stood. She crouches down and touches the wet paint with her finger and stands back up. As she leaves, she walks through the paint, leaving behind pink footprints as she leaves.

INT. ROBYN’S BEDROOM – NEXT MORNING

Robyn opens her eyes and jumps out of bed. She runs to the bathroom, has a shower, heads to the hallway and hurriedly ties up her boots wearing the same outfit as the day before: a black backpack, a bomber jacket, a hoodie, a black t-shirt and ripped jeans.

EXT. STREET CORNER – MIDDAY

Robyn waits at the corner of the street that Delilah has turned down for the past two days and waits with high levels of anticipation for the colourful girl to appear again so that she can follow her once again into the abandoned factory to watch her creating her art again.

As Delilah Returns to the corner and turns down the street Robyn crosses the road and follows her across the road and down the street into the factory again following her up to the first floor via the staircase.

INT. ABANDONED FACTORY – FIRST FLOOR – MIDDAY

Delilah stood in the middle of the large empty room sets down her bag. Robyn starts to approach her. Robyn gets closer and closer but Delilah and still does not turn to see her. Robyn touches her on her shoulder and she turns to smile at her. They hold hands and start to spin as Delilah starts to disappear and Robyn is wearing her colourful clothes spinning alone. She was Delilah all along but could not see her true worth.
