A search for Lacey
Storyboard Text
- Most of the ride to school, I thought about Lacey. I was so excited to see her. The first thing I did when I got to school, was look for Lacey. She wasn't there, andI bumped into Ryan and Ethan. I told them everything that happened last night. Really? That's so cool! Did you kiss her? RIIINGG! I'll tell you the rest later. Gotta go to class. Bye. Bye. Bye. Hey, what's up?! Tell us the rest! Guys... Lacey has gone missing... What?! Go to the world where the sea lives. Go to the world where the sea lives. Yes. Lacey's parents told me downstairs. Really? Maybe she left clues. Like.... Has "Go to the world where the sea lives." always been there? Actually... No. I've never seen that there. What do you think it means? Go to the world where the sea lives. Duh. Isn't it obvious? It means go to Sea World. You're right! We have to go right now! Woah, woah, woah! Tomorrow's a school day. We can't go! Go to the world where the sea lives. Well, I'm going! Me too! Uh.... Fine! Guys wait! I don't know if I'm hallucinating but... is that Lacey outside the window?! Sure! That's her! Oh my gosh! I'm going to go to stop her before she leaves. But can I go alone....? Lacey is that you?! Oh my gosh! Hi Marcus! Did you leave that clue for me up there?! Yeah! How did you know?! I don't know, but what were you thinking?! Well, remember when we were little and that guy disappeared? And I said that all his strings got cut? Well after all that happened with Shawn, I felt betrayed so I was going to run away. But I left those clues for you to make sure I still had a chord connected to someone I love and that it wasn't broken yet. Lacey, look you didn't have to do all that. I mean, I was about to risk my friend's school grades to find you and travel all the way to Florida. That wasn't right. I know. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking straight. But I still have to leave to Florida. I mean, we were going to graduate from high school in a week. I was going to leave anyways. But you could always come with me you know... You know I can't do that Lacey. I'm going to M.I.T. in a month and I have everything planned out. You're right. I don't know why I asked you to do that. Well I'm leaving. I gotta go. But I do want you to know that I have always loved you. Guess this is good-bye... for now. And then one of the best things in the world happened. Something I've always dreamed of. She kissed me. But honestly, Lacey isn't my coincidence. There will be another girl I'll fall in love with. My coincidence was having friends who would risk their grades for me. Who would travel all the way to Florida for me. Who always cares about their friends. That is my true coincidence. The End
- Coincidence. The most special word in the english language. The way I see it, everyone gets a coincidence in life. For example: you might meet Justin Timberlake while shopping at Walmart. Or you might be in the middle of nowhere and right out of the blue it's raining frogs. My coincidence was living right next to the most beautiful girl: Lacey Pilato......
- Welcome to the one and only, Crystal City, Virginia, where I met Lacey.
- Lacey and I would always go everywhere together. I mean, we lived next to each other.
- HA! HA!
- HA! HA!
- One day Lacey came over too watch the news. She loved the news. I really don't know why she loved it so much.
- You probably can't see the screen but it said some 30 year-old man has been missing for a month now.
- Hey, Marcus. I'm going home, I'm tired. Bye.
- Lacey and I were so confused. And scared. I mean, we were only 9. I wouldn't blame her if what she said was just an excuse.
- Ok. Bye.
- That same night, I heard some knocks on my window.
- Knock! Knock!
- 5 seconds later, Lacey climbed out the window, into my room.
- Hey Lacey.
- Hi Marcus.
- Why are you here?
- What about him?
- Well I've been wondering about the guy who disappeared.
- Meaning.....?
- Well I remember it saying, his wife divorced him and a few weeks ago his dog died. Maybe that's the reason he disappeared. Like all his happiness broke loose. Or all his strings or chords got cut.
- Aren't you going through the front door?
- Ziiiiip!
- Nope, I'm sneaking out. Keep your lips sealed!
- Whatever. I need to go. Bye.
- I can only imagine her running across that street
- Sometimes I wonder that maybe Lacey was simply a huge, mysterious puzzle.
- Little did I know, that that was only the first of her many adventures.
-
- Where is she going?
- 9 years later...
- So where was I... Oh, yeah! So Lacey and I started drifting apart. She always talked to the popular kids while I had a fair amount of friends.
- Meet Ryan and Ethan. They are my two best friends. Ryan is the one who has darker hair. He has a big amount of humor, while Ethan is super smart.
- It's Sweet Home! Hahaha!
- What's the capital of Alabama?
- I don't know.
- No! It's Montgomery!
- Life was fine! Until one night...
- Take a joke!
- Oh God! You guys fight for everything!
- I'm sorry! I didn't understand it!
- Right when I was about to change into my pijamas...
- You scared me!
- BOO!!
- Who
- Why are you here?
- But it's a school night!
- I need you to help me prank someone.
- I'll tell you when I need to.
- Are you coming or not?
- Fine! I'll go!
- LACEY!
- Hurry! My dad's calling me! He'll find me!
- Thanks! C'mon!
- 10 minutes later...
- Oh that's sad. I'm sorry.
- So now can you tell me who we're pranking?
- You know my boyfriend from many months? Well, he's cheating on me.... with my best friend.
- Don't worry about it.
- And she was right. That night was super fun. In fact, it was one of the funnest nights of my life.
- I'm going to beat you!
- Oh you wish!
- Well, if we play this right, this night is going to be fun, so race you there!
- 30 minutes later...
- I mean, who would choose that color for a house?
- He has an ugly house.
- I have absolutely no idea.
- An ugly house for an ugly person.
- Duh!
- CREAK!
- Let's do this!
- Wait, you know how to open locks with paper clips?
- Wow, I did not imagine Shawn's house like this.
- Yup.
- OW!
- Shh! I wonder why he's sleeping so weirdly. Probably had a nightmare. He sleeps as weird as my little sister when she has a wet dream. Whatever. Look for the camera while I spray him with shaving cream.
- Looking for the camera in Lacey's backpack was a nightmare. The backpack was so stubborn not letting me find the camera. After what seemed like half an hour, I finally found the camera.
- Take the picture..... Now!
- Everything was ready, but when I took the picture, I forgot to take the flash off.
- Why didn't you take the flash off! You could've woke him up!
- RUN!!!!!!!!
- Who's there?!
- Why do I have shaving cream on my face?!
- Hurry!
- I'm coming for you!
- I will find you!
- Keep dreaming!
- Hahaha!
- 30 minutes later...
- Me too. You were a great ninja! Well, I gotta go! See you tomorrow!
- Told you so!
- I really liked hanging out with you tonight.
- That was really fun!
- Bye!
- That night, I truly fell in love with her. I mean, Lacey is one of Earth's most beautiful creatures. The way her eyes twinkle like the galaxy. Or how her hair shines like a billion stars. And the way her lips are cherry red. I could describe Lacey Pilato all day because she truly is one of Earth's most beautiful creatures.
- Ok!
- Time to wake up!
- 30 minutes later...
- Okay! Let's go.
- All ready?
- Yes.
- Alliteration
- Many moody monkeys, are mad at the moon for leaving.
- Where are you Lacey?
- I didn't see Lacey anywhere. She wasn't in english class...
- Nor music class...
- Lacey....
- That day, I walked home from school. I needed peace and quiet to think about Lacey.
- Hi Marcus! Can you come over here?
- Mom, I'm home!
- Sure. What's wrong?
- When I saw Lacey's parents, I was a bit worried. But when Lacey's mom said that my heart did a flip.
- The next morning...
- It's okay. Just go to your room while we discuss this.
- Well, Lacey has been missing again, for the 5th time.
- Marcus! Time to wake up!
- No, I'm sorry...
- Did you see her last night?
