Where the sunsets but don't shine pg 8 script wip

Page 8

Panel 1

Sunset closes the door to Celestia’s office. The office is completely opposite that of Luna’s. It is brightly lit, there is no clutter anywhere, the walls are yellow and everything feels over saturated. 

LUNA (from behind the door)
This is a mistake!

Sigh

SUNSET THOUGHT BUBBLE 

Why are they so obsessed with clothing? I wasn’t going to wear anything anyway but I certainly  won’t now because of how insecure it seems to make everyone. Being insecure is the last thing I need. I don’t know if this Celestia from my world or this one. She could end me with a thought!

Panel 2

Sunset has turned around and is facing the viewer with a smug expression. There is a wave of fabric on the right side of the panel. 

SUNSET THOUGHT BUBBLE 

Now this is more like it.  

CELESTIA (Just off screen)

I’ve been waiting for you. 

Panel 3

Celestia is now fully nude. She is standing by her desk with an excited expression. Everything on her desk is neat and orderly. 

CELESTIA   

Do you mind if I join you in your nudity?  

Panel 4

For the first time Sunset looks defensive and has a questioning look on her face. She is about to sit in a plush leather chair, kind of like a throne. Behind her is a door with a glass window with “Principal” spelled in mirrored letters and blinds closed on the outside.  

SUNSET

Not at all. 

SUNSET THOUGHT BUBBLE 

What kind of trick is this? 

Panel 5

Both Sunset and Celestia are in the same panel and both are nude. It’s supposed to be a juxtaposition of page 07. Sunset is again on the left side of the panel sitting in the plush leather chair like a queen on a throne. Celestia is on the right sitting behind a neat and orderly desk sitting in a nice office chair. She is typing on her computer and frowning slightly. Sunset is smiling again. 

TEXT BOX

Some time later. 

CELESTIA 

Okay, your name is Sunset Shimmer. You are 18 years old. No address. And you are choosing to be nude because it goes against your culture? 

SUNSET 

Yes.

SUNSET THOUGHT BUBBLE

If you only knew. Oh Celestia, if you could see yourself like this. How pathetic this world’s version of you is. So kind, humble, and gullible. 

CELESTIA 

Good! You’re registered. Now we’ll get you what you need for class.. I’ll call in my assistant.
