Joyce Van Drost Week 1 Response

Pretty Little Liars (Mini Series Version)

Although I wouldn’t like so much as a cliffhanger at the end of each episode, a cliffhanger definitely would draw interest and intrigue on what would happen next. I wanted to do my own twist on this tv show because it’s one of my favorites and I have been watching ever since it premiered.

Scene

(Set in New York City. All girls (all except Ali) are sitting at a lunch table in school, and all of their phones buzz at the same time. All of them stop eating, to pick up each of their phones to see what it is.)

Aria (in a scared voice reads the text aloud) : “It’s B, and I’m back girls. Time to take back my city, watch your backs. XOXO - B”

Emily: What does that even mean? Who is B?

Hanna: Obviouslyyyy none of us know, right?

Spencer: I don’t think so. But why would he or she, or maybe even they, be coming after us?

Emily: I don’t know, but whatever it is we have to be careful this time.

(Ali approaches the table)

Ali: Careful about what?

(All the girls look at each other with a confused yet scared look but Emily proceeds to show her the text)

Ali: Who is B?? I can’t take this anymore. We’ve dealt with so many people from our past trying to come back into our lives, putting us in danger nonetheless and ruin our chances of getting into college.

Spencer: And that is something that we all need, so I’m deciding to not look at “B’s” texts, no matter how threatening. I have to work on school and balance a boyfriend all at the same time. Investigating time would make it even more packed and unbearable.

Aria: I’m with you Spence. Life with Ezra is getting to me too.

Hanna: Would you guys just stop complaining about your love lives? At least you have a boyfriend. My ex won’t stop trying to come back into my life asking me how everything is going? Like why do you care?

(As the girls are talking and naturally returning to their normal conversation at lunch, there are presents left for each of the girls in their lockers. The girls get up to attend their respective classes. Once they are done, they all hang out at their lockers to gossip and have normal girl talk. When each of them open their lockers, an envelope falls out, almost in sequence.)


Emily (reads aloud the tag attached to the key): “Here is a gift from little ‘ol me. Come see me for once at 75th Street and Broadway at 7pm sharp, that’s where you’ll use your key.”

Hanna (looking at everyone hold their key): Why are they all different colors and patterns? I’m not feeling too sure if I like this.

Spencer: We don’t have to go. I refuse to look at her texts, so I can refuse to go where she/he wants me to.

Aria: What if she comes after us? You know what happened last time when we didn’t show up for a meeting like this…

Ali: I say we go. All together as a group. NO SPLITTING UP

(All agree, and go about their individual days. 6pm rolls around, they meet up in Times Square so they could all travel and arrive together)

Spencer: Are you guys sure you want to go there?

(Turns head toward slightly dead street with some half working street lights, with a light darkness in the sky)

All girls: Yes!

Hanna: I mean we made it this far, why not? If anything I know how to pick up something as a weapon an

(They start to walk down the street towards the address given on the key. They end up at the start of an alleyway that has several doors on the outside, almost like there’s one for each girl. They all start digging for the key that they received and stand in front of the matching corresponding room.)

(Ali turns her head to the left. Hanna, Spencer, Aria and Emily gasp)

Ali: What are YOU doing here??
