FADE IN

EXT: TRAIN STATION

Front shot of railway station, nighttime. Many individuals of varying ages and classes are seen on the platform. In the middle of the shot are two parents and a child. The child is JUNE, our protagonist. She looks around 13-15 years of age, she has long brown hair, and wears a green and red striped sweater with black pants. Her parents are wearing more formal clothes.

June's mother is seen kissing June on the face multiple times.

CUT: Side shot of the station. A train is seen pulling into the station.

June's father walks towards the train as it stops, while beckoning June's mother, who still seems to be kissing her daughter. She turns and notices his motions.

CUT: Behind June, who is standing in front of her mother. She turns back to June, and smiles. She kneels and gives her one last big hug, before getting up to follow her husband into the train.

CUT: Close-up on June, who watches the train depart off-screen.

INT: LIVING ROOM

Wide shot of June sitting in front of a television in the living room a house. The room she is in has shelves containing many pieces of merchandise and photos, including many of her and her parents. This is her grandparent's house, where she is staying while her parents are away.

CUT: Close up on the television. It is playing a certain fantasy film, until it suddenly cuts to black, and a breaking news screen appears.

This cuts away to a newsroom, where a newscaster begins to discuss a train crash.

NEWSCASTER:

We interrupt this program to bring you this important bulletin.

The screen shows a derailed train, with rescue crews working all around it.

NEWSCASTER:

A commuter train derailed a few miles outside of St. Madron this afternoon, while operating a service to Nordbaie. The train was carrying around 200 pasengers, and was travelling at normal speed when...

The sound of the program fades away.

CUT: Close up of June, looking shocked and nervous. This is clearly the train her parents were in.

CUT: Outside shot, looking through the window of the room June is in. We only see her silhouette against the light of the room.

June is seen slowly putting her head down, in dismay. Two other people, seemingly June's grandparents, enter the room, staring at the tv and attempting to comfort her.

FADE OUT

Roll opening credits.

FADE IN

INT: BEDROOM

A small bedroom, the walls are painted in a shade of white. It is early in the morning, and the sun is slowly rising, shining through the window. We pan down from the window to focus on an alarm clock, siting atop a drawer.

Text appears on screen.

A few months later...

The clock starts to ring loudly. June's arm comes on screen, turning the clock off.

We pan to June in bed, her hair is messy and she looks visibly tired. She yawns lightly. She gets up out of her bed.

INT: KITCHEN

A normal kitchen, in the middle of the screen, a doorway is seen. Inside it, we can see the front door and a flight of stairs. On the left of the screen is a counter top and fridge. JUNE'S GRANDMOTHER is seen, getting some food out of it. She is a small woman with short white hair that stands straight up. She is wearing a purple patterned dress along with an apron.

June is seen walking down the stairs in the hallway, wearing a beige jacket now. She enters into the kitchen, and heads towards the counter.

CUT: Upward shot of June at the counter, she grabs a pair of keys.

CUT: June's grandmother, she sees June grabbing the keys.

JUNE'S GRANDMOTHER:

Another day at the park?

Cut: June, she looks at her grandmother and nods.

BACK TO: June's grandmother. She chuckles.

JUNE'S GRANDMOTHER:

You really love that place.

INT: HALLWAY

The hallway we saw in the doorway of the kitchen. The walls are a dull shade of blue, clearly painted a long time ago. June enters the shot and walks down the hallway. She passes by the living room of the house, which is just by the front door.

???:

June, where are you going?

June stops, and turns to her right.

INT: LIVING ROOM

The living room from before, looking from behind June. JUNE'S GRANDFATHER is standing in the room. He is a tall, bald man with a wide chin. He is wearing a red bathrobe. He's looking to his left, June is framed in the middle of the doorway.

JUNE:

The park.

June's grandfather looks delighted.

JUNE'S GRANDFATHER:

Ah...the park...I heard they're excavating over there. They find all sorts of things whenever one happens, like old bottles and bones, even gold sometimes!

June chuckles lightly.

JUNE:

I'll get some just for you, Grampy.

She proceeds to open the front door.

EXT: PARK

Establishing shot of the park June has gone to. The park is flourishing with greenery and is littered with large oak trees, it is also a sunny day. People are seen walking across stone paths in the park.

CUT: Wide shot of a more rural part of the park, June is seen sitting by one of the large oak trees, drawing in a sketchbook. A large river is seen in the background.

CUT: Close up of June drawing, she enjoys the hobby clearly, having a smile on her face.

CUT: The sketchpad June is drawing in, she is drawing a picture of where she is sitting right now. It's not drawn well, but there is a lot of passion put into it.
