THE NEXT MORNING

(We cut to Ella's apartment, which was a total mess. There was garbage and candy wrappers everywhere, drawings on the walls, the tv was on the floor, but thankfully not damaged. There was even a makeshift bowling alley with water bottles. We then move to Ella who was sleeping on the floor, who then wakes up. She slowly gets up wearing a Taylor Swift sweatshirt as she walks around. She then sits on the couch and yawns. Katie wakes up wearing a Taylor Swift sweatshirt as well. She trips and falls over, waking up Tori who was sleeping on the floor, also wearing a Taylor Swift sweatshirt)

Ella: Katie, are you okay?

Katie: (gets up) Yeah, I'm good.

Ella: Tori, are you okay?

Tori: (tired) No, my stomach is in so much pain right now.

Katie: My gosh. Look at this place.

Ella: I know. If I don't get it cleaned up when Mom gets back, I'm so grounded.

Tori: Hey, don't worry. Your mom doesn't get home till 7:00pm and it's only (checks the time on her phone) 9:00am right now.

Ella: Oh my gosh. What did we do last night?

(All of a sudden, there a loud peep)

Tori: What was that?

Katie: It's coming from the bathroom.

(The girls walked into the bathroom and heard the peeping coming from the bathtub. Ella shushes Tori and Katie and moves the shower curtain to reveal five baby ducks sitting in the bathtub)

Ella: Are those baby ducks?

Tori: Oh my goodness.

Katie: Awww! They're so cute!

(Katie picks up one of the baby ducks)

Katie: (tickling the baby duck) Who's a cute little duckling? You are! Yes you are! I'm gonna name you Bill!

(Bill peeps as Katie giggles)

(Tori notices something about Ella's eyebrow)

Tori: Ella, what happened to your eyebrow?

Ella: What do you mean?

Tori: It's missing.

Ella: What? No it's not.

(Ella touches her forehead to feel her eyebrow, but feels nothing)

Ella: No. No. No. No. No. No. I'm not missing an eyebrow. (looks in the mirror) OH GEEZ! YES I AM!

Katie: What happened to it?

Ella: I don't know! I don't remember anything from last night! Can you?

Katie: I don't remember a thing.

Tori: I don't remember anything either.

(The girls walk back to the living room and try to process what happened)

Katie: Okay, so the apartment is a mess, there's baby ducks in the bathtub, and Ella's missing her eyebrow and we don't remember anything from last night. That doesn't seem so bad.

Tori: Katie! Focus! We have to clean this mess up before Ella's mom gets home.

Ella's: (holding Elise's phone) Guys, I think we have a bigger problem. WHERE'S ELISE?!

(The girls look at each other nervously as we cut to Katie looking in the oven)

Tori: Katie! What are you doing?!

Katie: Checking to see if Elise is in there.

Tori: She wouldn't be in there.

(Ella walks in)

Ella: She's not in our room or Mom's room!

Tori: Okay, just calm down. Where would she go besides here?

(Ella thought for a moment before an idea came up)

Ella: The roof! There's a pool up there!

(The girls raced to the roof calling Elise's name. They found a pool and a couple of lounge chairs, but no Elise)

Ella: Oh my god. I can't believe I lost my sister! Mom is going to kill me!

Tori: What do we do?

Ella: I gotta call my mom.

Tori: No way! What if we find her ourselves?

Katie: How? We're just kids, not adults.

Tori: We can do this. Come with me.

(The girls went back to Ella's apartment then Tori gets a piece of paper and a pencil)

Tori: Okay let's write this down. What's the last thing we remember doing last night?

Katie: Well, the first thing was we at the Eras Tour and eating candy and drinking soda.

Ella: Okay, what else?

Katie: Then after that we saw the show, which was epic. Then we went to Wendy's and I think Elise was there.

Tori: That sounds about right. She definitely was.

Ella: You know what guys? I don't even remember having dinner.

Tori: Me neither? What the heck? I don't I've ever had this much candy in my life.

Katie: What do we do know?

Ella: Wait. Check your pockets. There might be clues.

(Tori checks her pockets and pulls out a receipt)

Tori: I got a receipt from IT'SUGAR. I spend $200 on candy! I'm so screwed.

(Katie checks her pocket and pulls out a check out ticket)

Katie: I've got a check out ticket from SoFi Stadium. Looks like we left the venue at 12:30am.

Tori: Wow. We there that long?

Katie: Yeah.

(Ella checks her pockets and pulls out a card from a salon)

Ella: I've got a business card from a salon. It says: "Archer's Salon."

Tori: Maybe that's where Elise is!

Katie: Worth a shot.

Ella: Okay, let's go!

(We cut to downstairs and then when Tori ask Katie about Bill)

Tori: Are you sure you're qualified to be taking care of that duckling?

Katie: Of course. It's like a baby, but small and covered in feathers.

Ella: Hey, guys? Check it out.

(Ella was point to a shoe on the floor)

Katie: Isn't that Elise's shoe?

Tori: What the heck?

Ella: Oh gosh.

Tori: Don't worry, Ella. We'll find her.

Katie: Let's just go to this salon and see if Elise is there.

Ella: Sure, let's go.
