The Magic Cape

March, 2006

Starting scene: two girls doing school, an older and younger sister.  The little sister, Kate, is holding an old teddy bear and keeps whispering to her older sister.  The older sister, Sarah, is starting to get annoyed and grabs the teddy bear and sets it on the other side of her.  Kate yells "Hey give me my teddy! *lowers voice* If you give him back I'll show you my magic cape!" Sarah rolls her eyes and yells "MOM! Kate's being annoying!" Mom comes in and says "Kate, Sarah is trying to work so please go to your room." Kate slowly leaves the table and heads off to her room. 

While in her room she gets out a very old, antique looking box from her secret hiding place.  Inside is a dusty old maroon cape.   She pulls it out and starts to play with it, as she is playing you realize it truly is an invisible cape.  Then as she is running out of things to do she gets an idea and covers herself with her cape.  She then slowly opens her door and peeks out.  Her mom is just in the other room talking to her husband about Sarah wanting to go to the movies. Kate quickly ducks back into her room.  

When she hears her mom leave she sneeks out and walks towards the living room.  She sneaks beside her sister and her hand slowly appears out of her invisible cape.  She slowly takes her teddy bear and it disappears back into her invisible cape.  Then she sneeks away. On her way out she hits a chair and Sarah looks around.  *shot to inside her cape shows Kate as nervous and being quiet* When Kate is on her way back she almost runs into her mom.  After she gets back in her room she takes off the cape and puts it back in the box so she can play with her teddy.  

That night Kate's mom was yelling at Sarah to get off the phone and pick up her clothes.  Kate later heard her mom yelling because Kate hadn't picked up her clothes and telling her that she couldn't go to the movies and so Kate starts to pick up the clothes while her mom is yelling.  As soon as Kate picked up everything her mom looks back and with a suprised face says "wait.. when did you pick up your clothes?"   Sarah then comes out of her room and says "Oh I don't know but I can go now, so bye!" and grabs her jacket and leaves. 

Then cut to inside the cape and Kate is giggeling knowing she tricked her mom and helped her sister. Roll credits.
