{'title': 'Friends Forever',

'Characters':

'Act 1' 'Scene 1' (Emma is sitting alone in the library, reading a book. Alex enters.)

'Alex': Hey Emma, what's up?

'Emma': (startled) Oh, hi Alex. I'm just reading.

'Alex': (smiling) Reading? You're always reading. Don't you get bored?

'Emma': (shrugging) Not really. I like to escape into different worlds.

'Alex': (nodding) I get it. Hey, do you want to come outside with me? I'm going to practice my soccer skills.

'Emma': (hesitant) Um, I don't really like sports.

'Alex': (grinning) That's okay. You can watch me play. I'll teach you some cool moves.

'Emma': (smiling) Okay, sure. Let's go.

'Scene 2' (Lily is walking through the park, admiring the flowers. Tom enters.)

'Tom': Hey, Lily. What are you doing?

'Lily': (surprised) Oh, hi Tom. I'm just enjoying the nature.

'Tom': (rolling his eyes) Nature? That's so boring. Why don't you come with me to the arcade? We can play some cool games.

'Lily': (shaking her head) No thanks, Tom. I don't like video games.

'Tom': (pouting) Come on, Lily. It'll be fun.

'Lily': (firmly) Sorry, Tom. I prefer to appreciate the beauty around me.

'Scene 3' (Sarah is sitting in the classroom, studying for a science test. Jack enters.)

'Jack': Hey Sarah, what's up?

'Sarah': (looking up) Oh, hi Jack. I'm just studying for the science test tomorrow.

'Jack': (nodding) I see. Need any help?

'Sarah': (surprised) Help? But you're an artist. What do you know about science?

'Jack': (smiling) I know more than you think. Let me see your notes. Maybe I can explain some things in a different way.

'Sarah': (grateful) Thank you, Jack. That would be great.

'Act 2' 'Scene 1' (Alex and Emma are sitting on a bench, watching the sunset.)

'Alex': (smiling) This is so peaceful, isn't it?

'Emma': (nodding) Yeah. I never noticed how beautiful the sky can be.

'Alex': (grinning) See? I told you sports and books can coexist.

'Emma': (laughing) You're right. Maybe I should try something new more often.

'Scene 2' (Lily and Sarah are walking in the park, feeding the ducks.)

'Lily': (smiling) I'm so glad we became friends, Sarah.

'Sarah': (nodding) Me too, Lily. You're so kind and caring.

'Lily': (blushing) Aw, thank you. You're so smart and organized. I admire that.

'Sarah': (smiling) Thanks, Lily. You're a great listener and always make me feel better.

'Lily': (hugging Sarah) Friends forever, right?

'Sarah': (hugging back) Friends forever.

'Scene 3' (Tom and Jack are sitting in the art room, drawing and talking.)

'Tom': (surprised) You know, Jack, you're not like any other artist I know.

'Jack': (curious) What do you mean?

'Tom': (smiling) I mean, you're not pretentious or snobbish. You're just a cool dude who loves to create.

'Jack': (laughing) Thanks, Tom. You're not like any other gamer I know either.

'Tom': (confused) What do you mean?

'Jack': (smiling) I mean, you're not just obsessed with winning and killing. You actually enjoy the stories and characters in the games.

'Tom': (nodding) Yeah, I guess you're right. Maybe we're not so different after all.

'Jack': (grinning) Maybe we're not. Friends forever, man.

'Tom': (fist bumping Jack) Friends forever.
