1. INT. BEDROOM. MORNING.
Alessa,(Age 16, dark hair) wakes up in her bed, excited she gets out and opens her door to the hallway, still in pajamas. As she opens the door, she instinctively goes to reach down and starts patting her lap, as if beckoning something. Nothing is there. Alessa is confused and her face shows that. She walks into her kitchen and has breakfast, notices that the dog bowl is still full of food as she furrows her brow. She continues to walk around the house looking for something.

They all shake their heads. Alessa becomes sad and slightly depressed as tears begin to well on her eyes. Alessa eventually stops.
ALESSA

She looks at her phone, the phone shows the date and time, and the background is of her and the dog.
4. INT. STUDY. DAY.
Alessa is creating flyers on her computer, typing away to help find the dog. She prints one out and holds it up and smiles sadly. The other internet tabs on the computer consist of… “How to look after a Dog,” “Psychiatrist in Brisbane,” and “How to Be Normal.” She looks at the picture of the dog for a long time. Once again, her eyes fill with tears. The date will be shown once again in her phone.
5. INT. STUDY. DAY.
About two months has passed, Alessa checks her phone, showing the date as she is sitting in the study, she stares at the flyer of her dog up on the wall, and looks sad again. She begins to start doing more stuff on her computer when suddenly the phone calls from a random. Alessa picks up the phone, looking at the flyer once more. ALESSA

6. EXT. OUTSIDE PARK. DAY.
Alessa looks at the park, sees a guy playing with a fat dog.
ALESSA

The dog continues to play with the stranger, as Alessa watches. She begins to start realising.
ALESSA
He… Seems so happy. Maybe I should lea-
Alessa gets interrupted as the guy who stole the dog trips over a rock and breaks his leg. A scream can be heard from her position. Alessa stops reminiscing and shakes herself out of it and begins to walk over to the guy who stole her dog.
7. EXT. PARK. DAY.
Alessa walks up to defeated guy lying on the floor, clutching his leg.
THIEF
Argh… OW… Aw man… Mah Leg. You gonna help me or what?
Alessa stares
THIEF
Well? Are you dumb or something? Help!
Alessa stares then smiles and looks at the dog. She starts towards the dog. The thief tries to get the dog, but it is a futile effort. Alessa sees him reaching for his phone then kicks it away. She starts to leave.
