BRYAN:Oh - hey Louie.

MARTAIN:he used to be very talkative - justgive him his space maybe hell comearound.

theyre voices slowly fade away as they walk off

Bryan goes back to fiddling with the penny, but it falls offthe counter and he flops his head on the desk. He gets backup and starts tapping the glass (or counter) on thinking onwhat to do. He looks at the clock and its nearly closingtime. The manager then walks down from the top of the stairs

MANAGER:Okay staff! Im closing down earlytoday, Since theirs not manycustomers I thought you could all

use a break. Although I just wantto say before you go, one of you isgoing to be made redundant nextweek. I dont want to say now butIll tell when the time comes.

Roughly where the manager talks about redundancy, Bryanquickly grabs his Jacket and leaves before the manager couldfinish his sentence.

Bryan walks home from work, 6pm autumn time in an empty citysurrounded by closed stores and empty path walks.

Bryan picks up a dollar on the pavement and still continuesto walk, he starts to walk in the center of the street

Hegets up and slams it with his hand, it turns off after that- Bryan turns around and sees its a Sunday on the calendar.

BYRAN:

Bryan opens up the fridge and takes out a bottle of cider.Put it down next to his laptop and boots it up.After taking a few drinks he begins to check for updates onhis computer such as YouTube, My Little Brony and EquestriaDaily.He clicks on them multiple times to check for new updates,He rests his head on his hand as his elbow lays on thecomputer desk.

BRYAN:eh...nothing new..(He leansback on his chair as he saysthat. )

He turns to the rooms center floor to find the clothes hewore yesterday in a pile of other clothes.He stands up from his chair and moves some of the otherclothes to get to the clothes he wants to wear.

BRYAN:

Man, their just not tryinganymore...

CAMERA PANS INTO THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLE SHOWING THE REST OFTHE LETTERING

NEWSPAPER:Meteorologists still cannotidentify this cloud, they claimthat this cloud was not foreseen bytheir satellites.The cloud may have electricalpossibilities, if so it mightinterfere with electrical devicessuch as television and lights butother than that it should leave noharm towards buildings or people.If you would like to see thismysterious cloud, the cloud willaccoure this Saturday in the city.

Bryan shuts the newspaper and chucks it a side then finisheshis breakfast quickly.

SONG START: THIS COLOURLESS CITY

He zips on his dark blue hoodie and heads out, he shiversthen goes back in to get a wolly jumper and a body warmer aswell, he puts the bottle of cider in the recycling on theway out.The thunder booms over head as he walks off his door steps.

CONTINUED: 6.

He gets to a store where he wants to buy something from buta big sign outside the store says: "Closed down"He looks to his right and looks at the full of closed shopsand the empty streets.

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):

This is what I and the city bothhave in common. We both close downand will not be open towardsanyone.

He begins to walk down the closed down shops to find analternative, he looks up and down at the decaying buildingsas he walks and also spotting

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):Sometimes I wonder, is theenvironment portraying us or are weportraying the environment. I know

I shouldnt think too deep intothis...It cant be good for mymental health

He walks to the other shop when another boom of lightningsounds and bryan begins walk slightly faster.

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):No person should be living in anenvironment such as this, Same assaying an alaskian husky shouldntlive in hot country such as Spain.Polluted environment, non stop

worries about past - present andfuture, long working hours andthreats on being out of work. Weget energy drinks just to keep usgoing, We get health care but at aprice. We get alcohol for a smallenjoyment factor... to escape ourown worries, fears, and even ourown world. The world for us tolive, experience and evolve it; andwe want to escape that.

He reaches the other shop which is closed down as well.Bryan hangs his head, turns around and walks back home.As he walks home a flash of multi-coloured lighting hits theground. 2 times, all in the same area which looked about 7miles away. Bryan puts his elbow over his eyes and stepback, stumbling a bit.

8/23

CONTINUED: 7.

He opens his eyes but they are a bit blurred from thelightning as he had stared right into it.He stares up at the cloud which starts to move away anddecent into the other clouds. Bryan is astonished from whathe just witnessed.

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):

What ever that was just now, itdidnt look normal. Never have Iseen a multi-colored lightning boltbefore, The sudden glimpse ofcolors felt unnatural to me, asIve never seen bright colours suchas that before, not in a long time.

Bryan then looks to his left and sees Martain who is alsolooking up at the sky speechless, Martain turns to Bryan

MARTAIN:Looks like Im not the only who

just whitnessed that too.

Byran looks to the ground

BRYAN:Yeah

Martain walks up to him

*Is wearing a portal 2 t-shirt with cargo pants*

MARTAIN:So, what bring you to this place?

BRYAN:Simple errands, just getting thenecessary foods supply to survivethe week. How about you?

MARTAIN:Same thing I always do when Im outhere. Getting an overall look atour city...

Bryan looks back up at him

MARTAIN:Hard to believe it was this city tohouse one of the finest indian foodresturants to ever hit the country.Now look at it, my family and Iused to go there all the time whenI was just a child..

Bryan begins to look puzzled

Bryan looks aware unsurely.Martain Smiles

MARTAIN:You know, its hard to believe youused to be such a colourfulcharacter. How many years was itago? 6? 10? 11 years since we metback in high school? Remember whenyou and I would have sleep oversand play basket ball nearly everythought night? What ever happenedto those days Bryan?

BRYAN:The city changed me...

MARTAIN:Or did you change the city?

Bryan looks at him with his eyes wide openMartian stays silent then abruptly says

MARTAIN:You know about the redundancy thatis going to happen on Monday?

Bryan nods

MARTAIN:Turns out its going to be me...

Bryan steps back taken from his words.

BRYAN:What about the redundancy money?

MARTAIN:Forget the redundancy money, I havealready lost everything...Mygirlfriend, my favourite places.Now my job, its only a matter oftime before itll be my house...

BRYAN cowares back from his raised voiceMartain Sighs

MARTAIN:Im sorry I raised my voice..I

think Ill spend my last moments inthis city by myself...

Martain walks into the middle of the road then raises hisright hand as Bryan looks on towards him with an upset face

MARTAIN:Later at the bar...okay Bryan?

Martain doesnt even look behind him, Bryan nods and Martainwalks onto the other side of the road and begins to bluraway.

Bryan looks forward and sees that the cloud is fullyvanished.

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):My days normally consist of thesame routeen, but this day wasdifferent. First the lightning andthen my old friends strangebehavior, but more uneventful wasthat lightning...I havent seencolors in that lightning since thelast time I looked at my motherspainting. An abstract painting withmultiple colors, almost...rainbowlike.

CUT TO HIM AT HIS LAPTOP AGAIN AND WATCHING AN EPISODE OFMLP

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):Everyone has their way of escapingreality, for me... I just have thisshow. No leathal side effects orpermanent damage to my body thatcomes with the other ways, I guessmy parents would be proud of mejust for that.

Sounds of Rainbow dashs doing the sonic rainboom over in

the filly episode (the CMC chronicles)

RAINBOW DASH:I couldnt believe I did a sonicrainboom! Right then and there!

BRYAN chuckles

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):Hard to believe males like me watchthis show, People can judge me onfirst impact for all they like forsuch a bizzare interest. But itsjust a nice peaceful world in theshow. Everyone is nice to eachother to some extent and thecolors.. Where everyone gets along...I..I just wish I could be apart of it...

BRYAN begins to reach out to touch a clip of all the ponieshugging one another but then his hand hits the screen and heflinches.

BRYAN:

AH!

He then looks around in a dazeHe sighs

BRYAN:Pull yourself together man...

He says and shuts his screen down on the laptop.

THE DATE ON HIS CLOCK CHANGES TO THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW(September 17th)

Bryan is later taking a long walk through out the city onceagain with his head hanging down.After a few minutes of walking he bumps into a stranger who

was jogging.

BRYAN:sorry...

???:My apologies for not looking.

They both get up and Bryan notices a lump under his coat.But he just walks onwards and so does the the stranger theoppercite way.

Just then the sound of feathers flapping from with in him

Bryan turns around but still walks.The stranger starts to jog off.

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):Must be a bird keeper or some sort.Wait...Whats a person let a loneanyone still doing in this city, Ithought they all left

Bryan turns back and keeps on walking.2 street lights begin to flicker then die out as heswalking

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):I do an unusual amount of walking,Its like when I feel sad, I walk,When I feel exhausted after a longday of work, I walk. Its become away to just clear my worries andall sorts of others..but I justfind they come rushing straightback if I dont walk at all..

Bryan then stops and turns to his right, across the road hesees Louie and Martian. Louie is yelling and Martian but youcant make out for what they are saying. Martain just keepslooking away sadly and Louie is almost to the point oftears. Bryan just continues to walk but slowly

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):Weird how I keep on bumping intothose two, even though I swear theyare the only people apart from themanager and that person I just

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS): (contd)bumped into...literally.I cant say its a small world afterall, but yesterday...all thoseweird events accord. Its as if theyare signs that are telling me

something.

Bryan gets hit by a lamp post as he backs off and rubs hisforehead

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):Note to self: Bumping into thingsis hazardous.

Next we see Bryan in his work station cleaning up somethings around the place. He feather dusts some of the anticsand then Louie comes in all pissed off.He sits down on one of the old chairs and tightens his grip.

Bryan still continues to clean and trys not to make eyecontact. Louie just sits there taking deep breaths.

LOUIE:It just makes us two

Bryan still trys not to make eye contact and continues toclean buts dusts slower by the second.

LOUIE:Everyone, GONE. All thats left isyou and that manager.

Bryan stops cleaning but still doesnt make eye contact.He keeps facing away from him.

BRYAN:I dont know what you mean

Bryan says why being a bit hunched backed

LOUIE:Martian...He left...He left town. IDONT KNOW HOW he managed to do it,But he left town. Maybe he just gotlucky at a casino or what ever andsaved up enough just to escape thiscity.

Bryan turns around and leans onto the mantal place which hewas cleaning on. Bryan looks up to him but Louie is turnedaway in the chair.

(CONTINUED)


14/23

CONTINUED: 13.

LOUIE:You know...with him around, thiscity was as not so bad as everyonesays it was. But..now that he left.I cant see any life in this cityanymore.

BRYAN:looks like my theory was true...

LOUIE:What was that?

BRYAN:nothing

LOUIE:There you go again. You cant havea normal conversation without

withdrawing into your shell.

Bryan lowers his defenses and starts looking around the room

LOUIE:Well...Are you going to sayanything?

Bryan stays silent.Louie grunts and gets off the chair he was sitting in andwalks out of the room.Bryan just sits there then looks at the door which louieleft.

BRYAN:Sorry...

CROSS FADE TO NEXT SCENE

Brayn is back at the counter this time fiddling with apencil. He looks at the clock which is almost closing time,He starts to hear chatting from the other room. He goes tofind out what the chattering is. He hides behind the cornerand sees louie and the manager chatting away.

MANAGER:Im sorry, but the last of theredundancy money went to Martain,If I would give you and Bryan therest, well we would have to closedown; Sadly but next Monday...wewill be.

(CONTINUED)


15/23

CONTINUED: 14.

LOUIE:But Martain didnt even claim hisredundancy money!

MANAGER:He didnt, but his parents did.

Ive known his parents for a whilenow and I just handed it over tothem...and wished them good luck.

LOUIE:How am I suppose to get a job nowhuh? and cant you sell some ofthese items around the store?Clearly they should be worthsomething!

MANAGER:Look...Ill put you both down as

great employees in your CV and youcan use me as reference forinterviews and such. But there isnothing more I can do Im afraid.As for selling the items, Louieyouve been around long enough toknow that this is not my store. IfI did that, I would be out on thestreets with no recommendation.

Louie turns around and punches a brick wall

LOUIE:

AHH! CAZZO!

MANAGER:Bless you

LOUIE:I didnt...oh very funny.

Bryan walks away after Louie punches the brick wall. Helooks at the clock and it is closing time, he grabs his coatand walks out the door.

Bryan looks around the city once more knowing his time isdrawing thin.He walks down his original road but he stops and thinks ofthat multi-coloured lightning bolt. He starts to walk downthe path which is in the direction of where he saw the bolt.

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):Doing the same routes day in andday out, for the past 2 years. No

(CONTINUED)


16/23

CONTINUED: 15.

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS): (contd)wonder Im acting completelyinsane. Even just walking in alinear pattern with no alternativeroutes is driving me up the wall...I still wonder about that lightningbolt. Maybe if I change my route a

bit it might give me joyfulness fora least a while, exploring a newarea might be fun. Ill try goingthis way for once, in the directionof where that lightning bolt hitthe ground, maybe Ill even findthe mark of where it hit. Thatwould be exciting to see what ithit.

Bryan walks down a narrow road with the street full oflitter and a lot of graffiti on the walls.He continues his pace slowly, he keeps on looking up at the

building and the walls of the road. Then he looks downinfront of him, a street light is beaming down light onto awarn out cardboard box.

*PLAY: A BOX IN MID-SEPTEMBER*

Bryan looks down at it with wonderous eyes (hes only 5 feetaway from it)

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):A stray box in the middle of theroad. Wonder what kind of carelessperson would do such a thing...

Bryan kneels down to look through on of the holes in it, hejust sees a blue blanket with what looks like a pikachuimprinted on the blanket.

BRYAN:looks like someone is throwing outtheir old stuff...probably lefttown too no doubt...

Bryan shakes his head then stands up and walks up to it, heuses his foot to move the box in the corner of the road as

well as some old cups and tiny plastic bags. He nods as ifto say, good job on a job well done. He then continues towalk on, after he reaches the end of the road. The blanketshuffles from the inside but Bryan is too far away to noticeor hear it.

17/23

CONTINUED: 16.

Bryan is laying in his bed with his eyes wide open startingto squeeze his toy Simba with one hand and tapping hisfinger on his chest separately. His head tosses and turnswith a slight look of worry on him. He begins to shift hisbody left and right trying to get to sleep. He opens hiseyes again then grunts and storms out of bed.

He begins to go play some games on his Laptop such as TeamFortress 2 but still not luck on getting the thought out ofhis mind about the box

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):Something about that box, justdidnt feel right...just like thelightning bolt...just like the waymartian was behaving...and thenthat stranger who bumped into me,when given signs youd be a foolnot to notice them then do

something about it. Just liketraffic lights, obey them andyoull be safe. Disobey them anditll lead you into chance and adanger zone.But how could I obey a multicoloured lightning bolt? It justdoesnt add up...

BRYAN:Maybe theres something else...

Bryan looks at the clock and its nearly 2am.

BRYAN:Ill go back to that place where Ifound that box. Maybe if I get thatat least off my mind I can get somereassurance.

Bryan shuts down his laptop, changes his clothes, adds thewoolly jumper and body warmer on again and storms out.

He passes fast down the road and enters the street where hefound the box, it still there exactly how he left it.

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):There, Its still there. A bitworn but still there...Just anormal...box...and yet, theresstill something unfamiliar aboutit.

18/23

CONTINUED: 17.

Bryan begins to walk up to the box and looks down on it, atiny little flap on the top is open so he can peer into it.He notices a lump underneath the blanket.

BYRAN:Wait, no one would be cruel enough

to throw an animal out...especiallyin this economy.

Bryan slowly kneels down and slowly opens the top part ofthe box, he hold one of the flaps down with his left hand ashe uses his right hand to peel back the blanket top.

As he peels he sees a blue blob of some sort, he squints hiseyes trying to get a better look without coming to close.He peels back all of it, his eyes widen, he quickly covershis mouth with his right hand trying not to make any loudgasping noises. His hands shakes and his heart races. Helowers his hand while its still shaking.

BRYAN:no...possible..way...

Bryan says while out of breath for words.

CAMERA STARTS OFF AT THE CENTRE OF THE BOX THE DOES A HIGHANLE SHOT REVEALING DASHIE SLEEPING IN THE BOX

*PLAY: DASHIES THEME*

Bryan scotches inwards a bit and looks over what he sees, herubs his eyes and refreshes his vision, but each time he

does he begins to look more astonished.

BRYAN:R-...R- Rainbow Dash...

He says with a gaping clog in his throat.

BRYAN:But as a filly...

Bryan says excitedly

Dashie is sound a sleep while breathing peacefully, bryanlooks over here and still cannot believe what he iswitnessing right now.

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):Loads of questions run through mymind, who would give up a fillyrainbow dash, why is she here, whyis she a filly. But all those

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS): (contd)answers didnt matter right now.Lets see if I can find any I.D..ora least a note of some sort.

Bryan looks in for a closer look around the box and noticesa medium sized pen marking of the words "Give to a good

home"

Bryan looks a bit worried but then looks back in the box andstill shes dashie sleeping. Bryan dawws silently, then feelshis leg is slowly getting numb, he stands up andaccidentally nudges the box roughly.

BRYAN:Oh crup

Bryan starts to shake his leg while turning away from thebox. He turns back and sees Rainbow Dash stretching andyawning on her side belly, she slowly gets up and flopping

down a bit like a new born deer trying to stand up for thefirst time. She looks around with squint eyes and rubs herhoof over one eye then the other while moistening her lipsby licking them. She looks up to Bryan who is just standingthere. Bryans expression is just slightly jaw dropped,then Bryan begins to smile grinning.Rainbow Dash stares up at him with her large black eyes andher face had a wondrous look to it.

*END: DASHIES THEME*

BRYAN:HNNG...that cuteness...

Rainbow dash looks puzzled as she stares at him, she tiltsher head and flaps her wings softly.

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):I dont know what to say...My mindis just blank with questions toanswers Ill probably never get.But I should start somewhere.

BRYAN:err...Hai there

Dashies ears perk up as she gives full attention to himBut she doesnt respond to him.

BRYAN:Uh...what are you doing out here?

Dashie looks around the box the back to Bryan. She looksjust as clueless as he is.

20/23

CONTINUED: 19.

BRYAN:Can- Can you speak?

Dashie blinks tilting her head the other way.

BRYAN:Guessing thats a no then...

BRYAN kneels down and scoots a little closer, Dashie backsaway to the corner of the box.

BRYAN:Well...I cant just leave you outhere, maybe it would be best if youwould come with me.

Dashie does a little squeak sound as if to say she is notcompletely taken by his words.She shakes her coat and then gets a slight shiver. She thencurls up trying to keep the warmth in her body.

Bryan lets his hand down into the box allowing Dashie tosniff it. Dashie sniffs the hand then bats it away with herforehead, Bryan withdraws his hand and goes into a state ofshock, Dashie goes back into the corner of the box.

BRYAN:Hey now, *chuckles* Im not goingto hurt you...

Dashie still looks unsure as her eyes begin to dimmerBryan takes off his body warmer and wolly jumper, shiveringas he does so. Dashie starts to wonder what hes up to next.

Bryan places the wolly jumper down on the dampish ground andthen reaches down again into the box, Dashie looks up andsees what he is doing. Her eye widen and then is just aboutto move to the other corner of the box, but before she coulddo that. Bryan grabs her, She immmidiately squirm around,flap her wings and kick her little hooves around; Dashiegoes into a panic state. Bryan quiclky then lowers her intothe wolly jumper and uses the body warmer to then wraparound the wolly jumper for extra warmth. He picks up thewolly jumper and body warmer and covers it tightly aroundhim.

BRYAN:Please settle down dash!

Dashie looks up to him in confusion to wondering how heknows her name. Stll panting from squirming so much.Bryan lowers his head inwards.

*START: DONT WORRY, Ill TAKE CARE OF YOU*

BRYAN:There you go, See? Wasnt so badafter all.

Bryans words began to sink in as Dashie breaths become morequitey, but she still looks around the place franticly.

BRYAN:Its alright...Lets get yousomewhere warmer, huh?

Bryan smiles, Dashie begins to settle down but makes squeakssounds in unsureness.

BRYAN:Dont worry, Im not going to hurtyou. Its cold out here youllprobably freeze out here.

Dashie looks up at Bryan with her big black eyes, she slowlybegins to relax. She moves her body around in the jumper toget more comfertable then closes her eyes and lets off asoft moan.

Bryan smiles then he looks at the box, he gently places herin the box and closes it but still leaving some openslightly just so he can see her, he picks up the box andcarries it all the way to the end of the street.

CUT TO HIM WALKING NEAR HIS HOUSE

Bryan looks down inside the box and sees only Dashies head

sleeping peacefully, Bryan reaches into his pocket tryingnot to wake her. The sound of keys jingaling makes herrussle in the wolly jumper. He opens the door but it wakesher up. Bryan picks up the box still thinking shes a sleep.He carries the box in his front door but then dashie jumpsout of the box and lands on a sofa, startling Bryan.

BRYAN:JEEZ!

Bryan stumbles back a bit. Dashie immediatly starts toobserve her surroundings, she begins to start jumping onfournature and looking around the place, slightly knockingseveral of bryans nick nacks. He places the box on thefloor next to the door and walks over to Dashie. Dashie thenjumps on the table and starts sniffing at his fruit bowl,Bryan sits down on a chair near the table and looks atDashie who is about to take a nibble at one of his apples.

She stares at him blanklessly.

BRYAN:Are you lost?

She looks down to the table floor and kicks her hoofslightly,

BRYAN:oh...

(Bryan pauses for a few minutes then speaks again)hey...you must be hungry

Dashie looks up to him and nods slightly.Bryan reaches over to the apple and breaks it in half usingteeth. He takes the chunk off the apple and hands it toDashie.Dashie looks up at him curiously, Bryan smiles and Dashielooks back at the apple and takes a bite out of it thenchews.

NARRATOR (BRYANS THOUGHTS):Strange, she has teeth. Althoughshe looks younger than in her fillystage.

BRYAN:Well...I dont mean to sound weridor anything but, You can alwaysstay here until we find out whereyou came from.

Dashie looks up at him and swallows the apple.She doesnt look too sure by the tone he said it in.

BRYAN:I mean - Dont worry. Im surewhatever brought you here will sortitself out. Is that alright, Areyou okay with staying here?

Dashie looks around the room then back to Bryan.She nods and smiles, Bryan smiles back and chuckles.
