Fade in:
EXT. A SMALL TOWN IN COLORADO - NIGHT
The sun is rising over the hills just past the outskirts of town. A girl rides into town and puts her horse in a stable. No ones ever seen her before, her name is CHAROLETTE. She has long, blonde braids and is also wearing flannel, blue jeans, boots with spurs, and has a gun at her hip. She has a mid-toned country accent.
CHAROLETTE
(To MR.JACKSON, the stable owner)
Thanks for letting me use your stables. I'm new here, I heard y'all don't have a sheriff.
MR.JACKSON
Yeah, he retired and no one was brave enough to take his place
CHAROLETTE
Well, that's one of the reasons in here.
Mr. Jackson laughs
CHAROLETTE (CONT'D)
You may think that's funny, but I was co-sheriff at my last town. Life got too hectic down there so I came up here. People say its one of the most peaceful towns around here. Anyways, my name's Charolette. See ya around!
MR.JACKSON
Alrighty then. See ya!
Charolette walks into town to try and find a place to stay. She finds a wooden building named THE SLEEPING WILLOW. There she meets JOHN, a well-dressed gentleman with a nicely groomed mustache.
JOHN
Well, howdy there cowgirl! You lookin' for somewhere to stay?
CHAROLETTE
Yeah, until I find somewhere permanent. I'm new.
JOHN
Well you can stay here for as long as you like. One night
costs two dollars.
Charolette hands him fourteen dollars for a weeks stay.
JOHN(CONT'D)
Alrighty! Your room in number one fourth two.
Enjoy your stay!
John hands Charolette her key.
CHAROLETTE
Thanks.
Charolette heads to her room. She lays down on her bed and falls asleep.
Hours later...
(S.F.X. Gunshots and screams)
Charolette quickly gets up and looks out her window. It's PARKER, he's a tall, dark haired, middle aged crook that hates Charolette. He has a deep scraggly voice.
CHAROLETTE
(Slamming her fist on the desk) DAMN!
She heads outside with her gun at her hip.
PARKER
Ah! Charolette, how nice? Your dad told me you ran off.
You don't have ol' daddy here to protect you now, huh?
CHAROLETTE
I don't need him. I wanted a life of my own, and that's
what's gonna happen. So leave now 'cause you know
damn well that I'm a better gunman than you.
Parker laughs
PARKER
Ah. Same old Charolette.
Parker spits
PARKER(CONT'D)
Your daddy gave you a big head didn't he?
The whole town is gathered around.
CHAROLETTE
(Getting her gun out while Parkers distracted)
No, you just can't accept the fact that you're about
to get shot by a girl.
Charolette shoots and hits Parker between his eyes. The whole town cheers and you can hear people whispering and asking, "Who is she?"
Later that week...
INT. TOWN HALL MEETING
JUDGE
All in favor for Charolette to be the new sheriff, say I.
EVERYONE
I...
Charolette smiles and leads a life of defending this town until she retires and a new sheriff comes to town.

Hope y'all liked it, it's my first ever script I've written and if you have any tips please tell me and tell me how I could improve.
