Friday Night Lights-Dakota Riggins

STATE

PREP RALLY

Dakota is standing in line with the other cheerleaders, clapping her pom poms together. The crowd is cheering and chanting loudly.

Dakota and the cheerleaders walks down off the stage. She zips open her bag placing her poms poms inside.

Tyre walks up to her

Tyre: Hey Love Bug

Dakota: Hey. It's good to see you

Tyre: It's good to see you out of the house.

Dakota: Thank you

Tyre: It goes against my basic principal to go to this game. But, um, Tim gave me his players tickets and it seems pretty important to him that I go. So.......I guess I'm going to State

Dakota: I'll see you there

Tyre: Yeah, I guess you will

She leans in kissing her on the cheek. Dakota blushes, grabs her bag and walks away.

ROAD

Dakota and Lyla are driving down the road in Lyla's new used car, listening and singing aloud to the music that's blaring

Dakota and Lyla: "You're a little bit too late"

They bob their heads to the music. Lyla quickly leans over giving Dakota a soft kiss on the lips.

Suddenly there's a noise under the hood and the car begins sputtering, breaking down.

ROADSIDE

The car is parked on the side of the road. Dakota is leaning up against the side, arms folded. Lyla is standing beside her

Landy pulls his car over showing Tyra, her mom, sister, and Matt's grandma riding in the car with him.

Dakota and Lyla walks up to the car.

Landry: You two okay?

Lyla: Yeah.

Tyra: Hey cheating cheerleading bitch. Hey Lovebug, you want a ride?

The sister laughs loudly. Lyla rolls her eyes and turns around heading back to her car.

Tyra: Aw, she doesn't want a ride.

Landry: That doesn't sound very Christian either.

Tyra: Just keep going. Just drive

Dakota: Tyra, you're not gonna leave her here.

Tyra: Why not? I don't-----

Landry: I can't.

Tyra looks out the window seeing Dakota giving her a look, raising a eyebrow. She rolls her eyes and opens the door, getting out of the car

Tyra: You're lucky you're adorable, darling

She marches down towards Lyla

Tyra: Garrity, get in the damn car!

Lyla: No, thank you.

Tyra: Garrity!

Lyla: You know what? Can I ask you something, Tyra?

Tyra: Fire away

Lyla: Why do you hate me so much?

Tyra: Oh I don't know. That's easy. Maybe the fact that your dad slept with my mom and then tried to pay her off with $700 or the fact that ever since you and Dakota got together, she's had people calling her a whore and rugmuncher.

Lyla: You know what? My parents are getting a divorce.

Tyra: Oh I'm sorry.

Lyla: So you weren't the only one who was hurt by that, okay? And you've been flirting with my girlfriend every since Freshmen year

Tyra: That's what I do. That is who I am. Everyone know that. I wasn't gonna do her.

Lyla: And what happened with Kota. It's not like I planned it. It just happened and no, I don't regret it. I love her.

Tyra rolls her eyes and lets out a scoff.

Tyra: Are you kidding me? I've known her longer then you. I have watched her pine for your spoiled ass since forever. Maybe I should sleep with her.

Lyla: I'm sorry.

Tyra: Not accepted.

Lyla: You know what? You're a bitch.

Tyra: Yeah, you know what? I am. But I don't accept it cause you didn't mean it.

Lyla looks away

Dakota is shown walking towards them

Dakota: Hey, they got fries. It's something. Let's go, Lyla.

She holds her hand out wiggling her fingers; Lyla smiles taking her hand in her interlinking their fingers together

Tyra rolls her eyes.

HOTEL-DALLAS-NIGHT

The Panthers won the State Championship. Lyla in her sleeping clothes walks down the hallway and throws her cheerleading outfit and pom-poms in the trash.

Dakota: That's intense.

Dakota walks up behind her.

Lyla smiles, turning around.

Lyla: Yeah, well, it's been a really crappy year.

Dakota: Panthers won State.

Lyla: I think it's time for a change.

Dakota: Apparently.

She grabs her hand in hers, linking their hands together and drags her down the hallway.
