Lola & Virginia: The Lost Notebook
Lola opened the door and looked around. No one. Looks like the coast is clear, she thought. She walked around, taking in the sights. She
couldn't help but notice the extravagance and opulence that adorned every corner of Virginia's house. From the crystal chandeliers to the plush velvet sofas, it was a stark contrast to Lola's modest upbringing. She couldn't fathom how someone could have so much, yet be so ungrateful.
As Lola made her way through the house, she couldn't shake off the feeling that she was somehow intruding on Virginia's private life. She tiptoed past rooms filled with designer clothes and shelves stacked with expensive trinkets. It was as if she had stumbled into a different universe, where material possessions were valued above all else.
Finally, Lola arrived at the bathroom door. She hesitated for a moment, her hand trembling as she reached for the doorknob. What if Virginia caught her snooping around? But she couldn't let her fear hold her back. She pushed the door open slowly and peered inside, her eyes widening at the sight that greeted her. Virginia, standing under the cascading water, her porcelain skin glowing in the soft light. Lola's jaw dropped, overcome with a mix of awe and embarrassment.
Steam bellowed out of her ears. She looked at Virginia. Her hair was yellow and
perfectly styled, cascading down her back like a golden waterfall. Lola couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. Her own hair, a wild and untamed mess, never seemed to cooperate no matter how hard she tried.
Virginia turned to face Lola, her eyes narrowing with a mischievous glint. "Well, well, well," Virginia smirked, her voice dripping with superiority. "What do we have here? Little Lola, sneaking around my house. Are you trying to steal something?" She paused, running a finger along the rim of her wine glass, her gaze never leaving Lola's face.
Lola felt a surge of anger rise within her, fueled by Virginia's condescending tone. She clenched her fists, determined not to let Virginia intimidate her. "No, Virginia," Lola retorted, her voice laced with determination. "I'm not here to steal anything. I lost my notebook, and I thought it might be here."
Virginia's laughter echoed through the bathroom, bouncing off the marble walls. "Your notebook? How quaint," she scoffed. "What could be so important in that little book of yours?" But even as Virginia spoke, Lola could see a flicker of curiosity in her eyes, a hint of intrigue that contradicted her dismissive words.
REWRITE: As Virginia trimmed her pubes, Lola looked away. She was blushing so hard she thought
her face might burst into flames. She desperately tried to divert her gaze, focusing on a small potted plant sitting on the bathroom counter instead. Anything to distract her from the awkwardness of the situation.
Virginia, oblivious to Lola's discomfort, continued her teasing. "Oh, Lola, darling," she purred, her voice dripping with mock sympathy. "Anyone who doesn't have such a good posterior as mine is weird!" She emphasized her words by striking a pose, showcasing her perfectly toned derriere.
Lola's face turned a deeper shade of crimson, her heart pounding in her chest. She had always admired Virginia's confidence, but this moment was pushing her boundaries. As if on cue, her nose began to bleed, a small trickle of blood staining her upper lip.
Panicking, Lola fumbled for a tissue, blotting her nose while avoiding Virginia's gaze. "I... I'm sorry," she stammered, her voice barely audible. "I'll just... I'll leave you to... um, finish up."
Virginia burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the bathroom. "Oh, Lola, you're a riot!" She reached for a towel, wrapping it around her waist. "Honestly, I didn't mean to make you so flustered. Here, let me help you find your notebook."
Relieved, Lola nodded, grateful for Virginia's sudden change in demeanor. Together, they searched the bathroom, lifting towels and checking behind bottles of expensive perfumes. Eventually, Lola's eyes fell upon a small notebook peeking out from underneath a pile of fluffy white towels.
She let out a sigh of relief, her tense shoulders finally relaxing. "Found it!" Lola exclaimed, holding up her notebook triumphantly. "Thank you, Virginia. I really appreciate your help."
Virginia smiled warmly, her earlier teasing forgotten. "Of course, Lola. Friends help each other, don't they?" She walked over and gave Lola a gentle pat on the back. "Now, let's clean up this mess and put this little... incident behind us, shall we?"
As they tidied up the bathroom, Lola couldn't help but reflect on the absurdity of the situation. Lost notebooks, nosebleeds, and unexpected nudity - it was just another day in the quirky town of Maplewood. But amidst the laughter and embarrassment, Lola realized that sometimes, even the most unexpected circumstances could lead to unexpected friendships. And in that moment, Lola knew that she and Virginia would always share a bond, no matter how peculiar their first encounter had been.
Then she killed Virginia. THE END
On set:
Lola: That ending sucked.
Director: Cut! Cut! What on earth was that, Lola? We can't just have you killing Virginia out of the blue like that. It completely goes against the tone of the story!
Lola: I know, I know. It was just a little... spontaneous outburst. But come on, there has to be a better ending than that!
Director: You're right, Lola. We need to find a resolution that fits the story and the characters. Let's brainstorm together, shall we?
Lola and the director huddled together, tossing around ideas and debating the best way to wrap up the story. They considered everything from a heartfelt reconciliation to a comical twist that would leave the readers in stitches.
Lola: What if... what if Virginia realizes the error of her ways? Maybe she learns to appreciate the value of friendship and stops being so stuck-up?
Director: That's a good start, Lola. How about we have Lola and Virginia bond over their shared experiences and learn from each other? They could become unlikely allies and work together to overcome a common obstacle.
Lola: I like that! It would show growth and development for both characters. And we can throw in some humorous moments along the way to keep the story light-hearted.
Director: Perfect! Let's rewrite the ending, keeping in mind the importance of friendship, personal growth, and of course, a healthy dose of humor. We'll give the readers a satisfying conclusion that stays true to the spirit of the story.
And as Lola and the director set to work, rewriting the final scenes, they knew they were creating an ending that would leave the readers laughing, cheering, and eagerly awaiting the next adventure of Lola and Virginia in the quaint and picturesque town of Maplewood.
Lola: What? We're gay all of a sudden? Director: Lola, that's homophobic. Lola: I didn't mean to offend. Me and Virginia are like apples and oranges.
Director: Lola, I understand what you're trying to say, but using sexual orientation as a comparison isn't appropriate or respectful. Let's find a different analogy to describe your relationship with Virginia.
Lola: You're right, Director. I apologize for my insensitive comment. What I meant to say is that Virginia and I are like two completely different fruits. She's the polished and refined apple, while I'm the vibrant and unique orange. We may not naturally go together, but we can still find a way to coexist and complement each other's flavors.
Director: That's much better, Lola. It captures the essence of what you're trying to convey without resorting to offensive comparisons. It's important to be mindful of the language we use and the impact it can have on others.
Lola: Absolutely, Director. I've learned my lesson, and I appreciate you holding me accountable. Let's continue working on finding the perfect resolution for our story, one that celebrates diversity, friendship, and personal growth.
Together, Lola and the director continued their collaboration, ensuring that the story's ending would be inclusive, respectful, and true to the characters they had developed. And as they rewrote the final scenes, they were confident that they had created a thoughtful and entertaining conclusion that would resonate with readers of all backgrounds.
