Four girls about 12 years old, Mary, Pam, Sue, and Tina all huddle together on a couch. It's dark.
Mary: Come on guys we have to go to my room to sleep.
Pam: I'm not moving!
Mary: It was only a movie.
Sue: Yeah, come on Pam, I'm tired.
Tina: How can you be tired? I'm all jumpy now.
Pam: I'm with you. That was totally creepy!
Mary: But we have to get to my room.
Tina: I'll just sleep here...
Pam: And I'm staying with you.
Sue: You guys are ridiculous.
Mary: Okay, well are you ready, Sue?
Sue: Sure.
Mary and Sue start to get up Mary slower than Sue.
Pam: You're not going to just leave us are you?!
Sue: Oh, come on...
Pam: Seriously!
Mary: Well what do you want us to do?
Tina: Stay here and sleep with us on the couch.
Sue: You guys are so pathetic...do you never watch scary movies? [Mary sighs and climbs back on to the couch to Tina and Pam's delight] Mary, what are you doing?
Mary: Sleeping on the couch.
Sue: You're kidding.
Mary: Come on Sue, come back on.
Sue: There is no way we can all fit!
Tina: We'll all move over some.
Pam: And we can snuggle to keep safe.
Sue: Yeah because snuggling is really going to help. [Beginning to climb onto the couch] I can't believe I'm doing this.
Al the girls begin moving around settling themselves in to a comfortable squishy bunch, until they are all quiet. Pause. Sue lets out a yell. All the other girls scream and Sue laughs.
Pam: Sue, you are terrible.
Sue laughs and Mary turns on a lamp. Every one resettles and all is silent.
