Curiosity Killed the Cat (Original Script)

Part 1

Beginning credits fade out into a grassy yard music starts to play as a cat runs across the screen. We follow the cat and it goes to Eden who starts to pet it. putting down the book that was in her hand.

    EDEN - hey there where did you come from?, are you lost?

Eden looks for a collar on the cat

    EDEN - you can come live with me if you'd like

The cat meows, Eden laughs

   EDEN -  I'll take that as a yes, now I'll just have to convince Mrs. Kenny, my foster mom.

Eden stands up, and picks up the cat.

        inside

Eden walks up to Martha holding the cat

    EDEN - hey Mrs. Kenny, so I found this really cute cat, and I've always wanted a cat, so can we pretty please keep him?

    MARTHA - on one condition

    EDEN - yes, anything

    MARTHA - You have been living here for six months stop calling me Mrs. Kenny call me mom or at least call me Martha.

    EDEN - of course Mrs.... Martha mom

    MARTHA - you have to take care of it okay

    EDEN - okay

    MARTHA - will you please go tell Ariana it's time for dinner

    EDEN - okay

Eden puts down the cat and runs down the hall. She knocks on the bedroom door, and Ariana opens it fast.

    ARIANA - do you need something?

    EDEN - Martha says it's time for dinner

       ARIANA - fine

Ariana walks past Eden and walks down the hall, Eden grabs her sleeve and she turns around with an annoyed look.

EDEN - I know we don't always see eye to eye, but weather you like it or not we're a family now, and you should start acting like it.

Ariana crosses her arms.

    ARIANA - maybe you're right, but I've never stayed in the same home for over a month since i was three. every time I get attached my heart gets crushed, what makes this time any different.

    EDEN - you have me this time, and we're sisters now and nothing will ever change that.

    ARIANA - really?

    EDEN - really

    ARIANA - thanks...

Cat meows Ariana turns around to look at the cat

    ARIANA - when did we get a cat?
